PRELIMINARY PROXY STATEMENT — SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED AUGUST 11, 2020

FORUM MERGER II CORPORATION
1615 South Congress Avenue, Suite 103
Delray Beach, Florida 33445

Dear Stockholders of Forum Merger II Corporation:

We cordially invite you to attend a special meeting in lieu of the 2020 annual meeting of the stockholders of Forum Merger II Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Forum”, “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”), which will be held on [        ], 2020, at 10:00 a.m., Eastern time at https://[        ] (the “special meeting”). In light of ongoing developments related to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), after careful consideration, the Company has determined that the special meeting will be a virtual meeting conducted exclusively via live webcast in order to facilitate stockholder attendance and participation while safeguarding the health and safety of our stockholders, directors and management team. You or your proxyholder will be able to attend the virtual special meeting online, vote, view the list of stockholders entitled to vote at the special meeting and submit questions during the special meeting by visiting https://[ ] and using a control number assigned by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. To register and receive access to the virtual meeting, registered stockholders and beneficial stockholders (those holding shares through a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other holder of record) will need to follow the instructions applicable to them provided in this proxy statement.

On June 11, 2020, the Company, Sprout Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Myjojo, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Ittella Parent”), and Salvatore Galletti, in his capacity as the holder representative (“Holder Representative”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended by the First Amendment to the Merger Agreement (the “First Amendment”) entered into by the Company, Merger Sub, Ittella Parent and the Holder Representative on August 10, 2020 (as amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into Ittella Parent, with Ittella Parent surviving the merger in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “business combination”). You are being asked to vote on the business combination.

At the special meeting, our stockholders will be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal (the “Business Combination Proposal”) to adopt the Merger Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, copies of which are attached to the accompanying proxy statement as Annex A-1 and Annex A-2, and approve the business combination. The aggregate consideration payable at the closing of the business combination (the “Closing”) to the Ittella Parent securityholders (as that term is defined in the accompanying proxy statement) is approximately $420,000,000, subject to the purchase price adjustments as set forth in the Merger Agreement (the “Closing Merger Consideration”). The Closing is expected to take place in early October, as soon as practicable after the special meeting, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions in the Merger Agreement.

The Closing Merger Consideration is required to comprise between $50,000,000 and $75,000,000 in cash, with the remainder of the Closing Merger Consideration comprising common stock, par value $0.0001 per share of the Company (“common stock”), valued at $10.00 per share. An additional 5,000,000 shares of the common stock (the “Holdback Shares”) are payable after the Closing to the Ittella Parent stockholders (as that term is defined in the accompanying proxy statement) upon satisfaction, within the first three years after the Closing, of the following conditions: (i) if the trading price of the common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 on any 20 trading days in any 30-day trading period (the “$12.00 Share Price Trigger”), then 2,500,000 Holdback Shares will be released to the Ittella Parent stockholders, or (ii) if the trading price of the common stock equals or exceeds $14.00 on any 20 trading days in any 30-day trading period (each of such $14.00 trigger and the $12.00 Share Price Trigger, a “Share Price Trigger”), then 2,500,000 Holdback Shares will be released to the Ittella Parent stockholders. If a change in control occurs within the first three years after the Closing, all Holdback Shares not previously released will be released to the Ittella Parent stockholders. If the conditions to release of the Holdback Shares are not satisfied within the first three years of Closing, the Holdback Shares are forfeited.

Forum Investors II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and the sponsor of Forum (the “Sponsor”), has agreed that at the Closing, it will place 2,500,000 founder shares held by it (the “Sponsor Earnout Shares”) into escrow. The vesting, release and forfeiture terms of the Sponsor Earnout Shares are the same as the vesting, release and forfeiture terms applicable to the Holdback Shares, with 50% of the Sponsor Earnout Shares vesting at each Share Price Trigger, and all Sponsor Earnout Shares released if a change of control occurs, in each case, within the first three

 

years after the Closing. If the conditions to the release of any Sponsor Earnout Shares are not satisfied on or prior to the date that it is finally determined that the Ittella Parent stockholders are not entitled to or eligible to receive any further Holdback Releases as defined in, and pursuant to, the Merger Agreement, the Sponsor Earnout Shares will be forfeited by the Sponsor on that date.

The Company and the Holder Representative have agreed that, at the Closing, the Company will place 100,000 shares of common stock into an adjustment escrow account (the “Adjustment Escrow Stock”). Following the date on which the Closing Merger Consideration is finally determined, all or a portion of those shares of common stock will either be released to the Ittella Parent stockholders or released to the Company in accordance with the adjustment mechanisms set forth in Section 3.5 of the Merger Agreement.

The Cash Consideration payable to the Ittella Parent securityholders will be paid from cash available to us from the trust account (the “trust account”) that holds the proceeds (including interest) of our initial public offering that closed on August 7, 2018 (our “IPO”), and after giving effect to taxes payable, any redemptions that may be elected by any of our public stockholders for their pro rata share of the aggregate amount of funds on deposit in the trust account.

At the special meeting, you will be asked to adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the business combination. In addition, you will be asked to consider and vote upon:

1.      a proposal to approve, for purposes of complying with applicable listing rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”), the issuance of more than 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock pursuant to the business combination (the “Nasdaq Proposal”);

2.      a proposal to approve the Company’s proposed second amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “proposed charter”), substantially in the form attached to the accompanying proxy statement as Annex C, in connection with the business combination (the “Charter Proposal”);

3.      proposals to approve and adopt, on a non-binding advisory basis, certain differences between the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (as amended through the date of this proxy statement, the “current charter”) and the proposed charter, which are being presented in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as eight separate sub-proposals (collectively, the “Advisory Charter Proposals”):

a.to provide that any amendment to provisions of the current charter and proposed bylaws will require the approval of the holders of at least 85% of the Company’s then-outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally at an election of directors; provided, that, at any time when all persons who, immediately prior to the filing and effectiveness of the proposed charter, hold common stock of Ittella Parent, par value $0.001 per share and Class A and Class B special stock of Ittella Parent each par value $0.001 per share and their affiliates (the “Ittella Parties”) beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than a majority of the total voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally at an election of directors, the reference to “85%” in the foregoing sentence shall be deemed to be amended and replaced with the words “662/3%” (“Advisory Charter Proposal A”);

b.      to provide that the Company opts out of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prevents certain Delaware corporations, under certain circumstances, from engaging in a “business combination” with certain “interested stockholders” and their affiliates, and, instead, be governed by a provision substantially similar to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; for more information on Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, see the section titled “Description of Securities — Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws” (“Advisory Charter Proposal B”);

c.      to provide that the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the federal securities laws, including the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Advisory Charter Proposal C”);

d.      to provide that, subject to the limitations imposed by applicable law, directors may be removed with cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 85% of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally at an election of directors; provided, that, at any time when the Ittella Parties beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than a majority of

 

the total voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally at an election of directors, subject to any limitations imposed by applicable law, any individual director or directors may be removed with cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally at an election of directors (“Advisory Charter Proposal D”);

e.      to change the name of the new public entity to “Tattooed Chef, Inc.” from “Forum Merger II Corporation” (“Advisory Charter Proposal E”);

f.       to, upon completion of the business combination and the conversion of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B common stock”), into the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A common stock”), increase the authorized capital stock from 111,000,000 shares, consisting of 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“preferred stock”), to 1,010,000,000 shares, which would consist of 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, by, on the effective date of the filing of the proposed charter: (i) reclassifying all shares of Class B common stock as Class A common stock; (ii) immediately following the conversion of such Class B common stock into shares of Class A common stock, reclassifying all shares of Class A common stock as common stock; and (iii) creating an additional 890,000,000 shares of common stock and 9,000,000 shares of preferred stock (“Advisory Charter Proposal F”);

g.      to eliminate various provisions applicable only to blank check companies (“Advisory Charter Proposal G”); and

h.      to change the classification of the Board from two classes to three classes of directors, with each class elected for staggered terms (“Advisory Charter Proposal H”);

4.      a proposal to approve the Incentive Plan, substantially in the form attached to the accompanying proxy statement as Annex E, including the authorization of the initial share reserve under the Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan Proposal” and, collectively with the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Charter Proposal, the “condition precedent proposals”);

5.      a proposal to consider and vote upon a proposal to elect nine directors to serve staggered terms on the Board until immediately following the 2021, 2022 and 2023 annual meetings of our stockholders, as applicable, and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified; alternatively, in the event the condition precedent proposals, including the Business Combination Proposal and Charter Proposal, are not approved and our Board continues to have two classes of directors, to elect three directors to serve as Class II directors on the Board for a term of two years expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2022 or until each such director’s successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until each such director’s earlier death, resignation, retirement or removal (the “Director Election Proposal”); and

6.      a proposal to approve the adjournment of the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the condition precedent proposals (the “Adjournment Proposal”). The Adjournment Proposal will only be presented at the special meeting if there are not sufficient votes to approve the condition precedent proposals.

Each of these proposals is more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement, which you are encouraged to read carefully.

Our publicly-traded common stock, units and warrants are currently listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “FMCI,” “FMCIU” and “FMCIW,” respectively. Upon the Closing, we intend to change our name from “Forum Merger II Corporation” to “Tattooed Chef, Inc.” and we have applied to continue the listing of our common stock and warrants on Nasdaq under the symbols “TTCF” and “TTCFW,” respectively, upon the Closing. Our units will automatically separate into the component securities upon consummation of the business combination and, as a result, will no longer trade as a separate security.

 

Pursuant to the current charter, we are providing our public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem, upon the Closing, shares of Class A Common stock then held by them (“public shares”) for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the business combination, including interest not previously released by us to pay our taxes, by the total number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein. The per-share amount we will distribute to public stockholders who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commission totalling $7,000,000 that we will pay to the underwriters of our IPO or transaction expenses incurred in connection with the business combination. For illustrative purposes, based on the fair value of marketable securities held in our trust account of approximately $207,235,255 as of March 31, 2020, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.36. Public stockholders may elect to redeem their shares even if they vote for the business combination.

You will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:

(i)     (a) hold public shares or (b) hold public shares through units and you elect to separate your units into the underlying public shares and warrants (the “public warrants”) prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares; and

(ii)    prior to [        ], Eastern time, on [             ], 2020, (a) submit a written request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), that the Company redeem your public shares for cash and (b) deliver your public shares to the Transfer Agent, physically or electronically through the Depository Trust Company.

Holders of units must elect to separate the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. Any demand for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests and thereafter, with our consent, until the Closing.

A public stockholder, together with any of his, her or its affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate his, her or its shares or, if part of such a group, the group’s shares, in excess of 15% of the shares of Class A common stock included in the units sold in our IPO without the prior consent of the Company. We have no specified maximum redemption threshold under the current charter, other than the aforementioned 15% threshold and the limitation that in no event will we redeem our public shares in an amount that would cause out net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 upon consummation of the business combination. Every share of Class A common stock that is redeemed by our public stockholders will reduce the amount in our trust account, which held marketable securities with a fair value of approximately $207,235,255 as of March 31, 2020. The Merger Agreement provides that Ittella Parent’s obligation to consummate the business combination is conditioned on cash consideration available for payment to the Ittella Parent securityholders is at least $50,000,000. This condition to Closing in the Merger Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties thereto and may be waived in writing by Ittella Parent. If, as a result of redemptions of public shares by our public stockholders, this condition is not met (or waived), then Ittella Parent may elect not to consummate the business combination. Holders of our outstanding public warrants do not have redemption rights in connection with the business combination. Unless otherwise specified, the information in the accompanying proxy statement assumes that none of our public stockholders exercise their redemption rights with respect to their public shares.

The Sponsor and our officers and directors have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any public shares they may hold in connection with the consummation of the business combination, and the Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “founder shares”), will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price. Currently, the Sponsor beneficially owns 21.65% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, including all of the founder shares. The Sponsor and our directors and officers have agreed to vote any shares of common stock owned by them in favor of the business combination. The founder shares are subject to transfer restrictions. The current charter includes a conversion adjustment that provides that the founder shares will automatically convert at the time of the business combination into a number of shares of Class A common stock at the Closing, in accordance with the terms of the current charter. As of the Closing, assuming no redemptions, the Sponsor will beneficially own approximately 5.3% of the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding after consummation of the business combination (excluding the Holdback Shares and the Sponsor Earnout Shares).

 

We are providing the accompanying proxy statement and accompanying proxy card to our stockholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the special meeting and at any adjournments or postponements of the special meeting. Information about the special meeting, the business combination and other related business to be considered by the Company’s stockholders at the special meeting is included in the accompanying proxy statement. Whether or not you plan to attend the special meeting, we urge all of our stockholders to read the accompanying proxy statement, including the Annexes and the accompanying financials statements of the Company and Ittella Parent, carefully and in their entirety. In particular, we urge you to read carefully the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 43 of the accompanying proxy statement.

After careful consideration, our Board has unanimously approved the Merger Agreement and the business combination, and unanimously recommends that our stockholders vote “FOR” the adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the business combination, “FOR” each of the director nominees and “FOR” all of the other proposals presented to our stockholders in the accompanying proxy statement. When you consider our Board’s recommendation of these proposals, you should keep in mind that our directors and officers have interests in the business combination that may conflict with your interests as a stockholder. Please see the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination” for additional information.

In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, approval of the condition precedent proposals and the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Approval of the Advisory Charter Proposals, each of which is a non-binding vote, requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the votes cast by our stockholders present in person (which would include presence at the virtual special meeting) or represented by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote thereon.

The election of directors is decided by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person (which would include presence at the virtual special meeting) or represented by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. This means that the director nominees will be elected if they receive more affirmative votes than any other nominee for the same position. Stockholders may not cumulate their votes with respect to the election of directors. If the condition precedent proposals, including the Business Combination Proposal and Charter Proposal, are approved, we will elect nine directors to our Board, each to serve staggered terms until immediately following the 2021, 2022 and 2023 annual meetings of our stockholders, as applicable, commencing at the Closing of the transaction. If the condition precedent proposals are not approved, three directors will be elected to the Board, each to serve a two-year term.

A stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the special meeting (which would include voting at the virtual special meeting) will not be counted towards the number of shares of common stock required to validly establish a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established. Each of the failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person (which would include voting at the virtual special meeting), an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote on any of the condition precedent proposals, and the Adjournment Proposal will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” any such proposal. Each of the failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person (which would include voting at the virtual special meeting), an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote on any of the Advisory Charter Proposals and the Director Election Proposal will have no effect on the outcome of any such proposal.

Your vote is very important. Whether or not you plan to attend the special meeting, please vote as soon as possible by following the instructions in the accompanying proxy statement to make sure that your shares are represented at the special meeting. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you will need to follow the instructions provided to you by your bank, broker or other nominee to ensure that your shares are represented and voted at the special meeting. Even if you have voted by proxy, you may still vote during the special meeting by visiting https://[                ]. To participate in the special meeting, you will need the 12-digit control number assigned by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company included on your proxy card or obtained from them via email. The business combination will be consummated only if the condition precedent proposals are approved at the special meeting. Unless waived by the parties to the Merger Agreement, the Closing is conditioned upon the approval of the condition precedent proposals. The election of nine director nominees in the Director Election Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the condition precedent proposals, including the Charter Proposal. The Advisory Charter Proposals are not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in the accompanying proxy statement.

 

If you sign, date and return your proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your proxy will be voted FOR each of the proposals presented at the special meeting. If you fail to return your proxy card, and do not attend the special meeting, the effect will be that your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the special meeting. If you are a stockholder of record and you attend the special meeting and wish to vote during the special meeting, you may withdraw your proxy and vote at the special meeting.

TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS, YOU MUST DEMAND THAT THE COMPANY REDEEM YOUR SHARES FOR A PRO RATA PORTION OF THE FUNDS HELD IN THE TRUST ACCOUNT AND TENDER YOUR SHARES TO THE COMPANY’S TRANSFER AGENT AT LEAST TWO BUSINESS DAYS PRIOR TO THE SPECIAL MEETING. YOU MAY TENDER YOUR SHARES BY EITHER DELIVERING YOUR SHARE CERTIFICATE TO THE TRANSFER AGENT OR BY DELIVERING YOUR SHARES ELECTRONICALLY USING DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY’S DWAC (DEPOSIT WITHDRAWAL AT CUSTODIAN) SYSTEM. IF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION IS NOT COMPLETED, THEN THESE SHARES WILL NOT BE REDEEMED FOR CASH. IF YOU HOLD THE SHARES IN STREET NAME, YOU WILL NEED TO INSTRUCT THE ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE AT YOUR BANK OR BROKER TO WITHDRAW THE SHARES FROM YOUR ACCOUNT IN ORDER TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS.

On behalf of the Board, we would like to thank you for your support of Forum Merger II Corporation and look forward to a successful completion of the business combination.

                 , 2020

 

Sincerely,

The above matters are more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement, which also includes, as Annex A-1 and Annex A-2, copies of the Merger Agreement and First Amendment, respectively. We urge you to read carefully the accompanying proxy statement in its entirety, including the Annexes and accompanying financial statements of the Company and Ittella Parent.

In light of ongoing developments related to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), after careful consideration, the Company has determined that the special meeting will be a virtual meeting conducted exclusively via live webcast in order to facilitate stockholder attendance and participation while safeguarding the health and safety of our stockholders, directors and management team. You or your proxyholder will be able to attend the virtual special meeting online, vote, view the list of stockholders entitled to vote at the special meeting and submit questions during the special meeting by visiting https://[ ] and using a control number assigned by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. To register and receive access to the virtual meeting, registered stockholders and beneficial stockholders (those holding shares through a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other holder of record) will need to follow the instructions applicable to them provided in this proxy statement. The record date for the special meeting is [ ], 2020. Only stockholders of record at the close of business on that date may vote at the special meeting or any adjournment thereof. A complete list of our stockholders of record entitled to vote at the special meeting will be available for ten days before the special meeting at our principal executive offices for inspection by stockholders during ordinary business hours for any purpose germane to the special meeting.

Pursuant to the current charter, we are providing our public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem, upon the Closing, shares of Class A common stock then held by them (“public shares”) for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the business combination, including interest not previously released by us to pay our taxes, by the total number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein. The per-share amount we will distribute to investors who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commission totalling $7,000,000 that we will pay to the underwriters of our initial public offering (“IPO”) or transaction expenses incurred in connection with the business combination. For illustrative purposes, based on the fair value of marketable securities held in our trust account of approximately $207,235,255 as of March 31, 2020, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.36. Public stockholders may elect to redeem their shares even if they vote for the business combination.

You will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:

(i)     (a) hold public shares or (b) hold public shares through units and you elect to separate your units into the underlying public shares and warrants (the “public warrants”) prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares; and

(ii)    prior to [        ], Eastern time, on [             ], 2020, (a) submit a written request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), that the Company redeem your public shares for cash and (b) deliver your public shares to the Transfer Agent, physically or electronically through the Depository Trust Company.

Holders of units must elect to separate the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. Any demand for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests and thereafter, with our consent, until the Closing.

A public stockholder, together with any of his, her or its affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate his, her or its shares or, if part of such a group, the group’s shares, in

 

excess of 15% of the shares of Class A common stock included in the units sold in our IPO without the prior consent of the Company. We have no specified maximum redemption threshold under the current charter, other than the aforementioned 15% threshold and the limitation that in no event will we redeem our public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 upon consummation of the business combination. Every share of Class A common stock that is redeemed by our public stockholders will reduce the amount in our trust account, which held marketable securities with a fair value of approximately $207,235,255 as of March 31, 2020. The Merger Agreement provides that Ittella Parent’s obligation to consummate the business combination is conditioned on cash consideration available for payment to the Ittella Parent securityholders is at least $50,000,000. This condition to Closing in the Merger Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties thereto and may be waived in writing by Ittella Parent. If, as a result of redemptions of public shares by our public stockholders, this condition is not met (or waived), then Ittella Parent may elect not to consummate the business combination. Holders of our outstanding public warrants do not have redemption rights in connection with the business combination. Unless otherwise specified, the information in the accompanying proxy statement assumes that none of our public stockholders exercise their redemption rights with respect to public shares.

The Sponsor and our officers and directors have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any public shares they may hold in connection with the consummation of the business combination, and the Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “founder shares”), will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price. Currently, the Sponsor beneficially owns 21.65% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, including all of the founder shares. The Sponsor and our directors and officers have agreed to vote any shares of the common stock owned by them in favor of the business combination. The founder shares are subject to transfer restrictions. The current charter includes a conversion adjustment that provides that the founder shares will automatically convert at the time of the business combination into a number of shares of Class A common stock at the Closing, in accordance with the terms of the current charter. As of the Closing, assuming no redemptions, the Sponsor will beneficially own approximately 5.3% of the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding after consummation of the business combination (excluding the Holdback Shares and the Sponsor Earnout Shares).

The business combination is conditioned on the approval of the condition precedent proposals at the special meeting. The election of nine directors to a staggered terms as part of the Director Election Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the condition precedent proposals, including the Charter Proposal. The Advisory Charter Proposals are not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in the accompanying proxy statement.

The issuance of 20% or more of our outstanding common stock in connection with the Merger Agreement requires stockholder approval of the Nasdaq Proposal.

Approval of the condition precedent proposals and the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Approval of the Advisory Charter Proposals, each of which is a non-binding vote, requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the votes cast by our stockholders present in person (which would include presence at the virtual special meeting) or represented by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote thereon.

The election of directors is decided by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person (which would include presence at the virtual special meeting) or represented by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. This means that the director nominees will be elected if they receive more affirmative votes than any other nominee for the same position. Stockholders may not cumulate their votes with respect to the election of directors. If the condition precedent proposals, including the Business Combination Proposal and Charter Proposal, are approved, we will elect nine directors to our Board, each to serve staggered terms until immediately following the 2021, 2022 and 2023 annual meetings of our stockholders, as applicable, commencing at the Closing of the transaction. If the condition precedent proposals are not approved, three directors will be elected to the Board, each to serve a two-year term.

 

A stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the special meeting (which would include voting at the virtual special meeting) will not be counted towards the number of shares of common stock required to validly establish a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established. Each of the failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person (which would include voting at the virtual special meeting), an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote on any of the condition precedent proposals and the Adjournment Proposal will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” any such proposal. Each of the failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person (which would include voting at the virtual special meeting), an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote on any of the Advisory Charter Proposals and the Director Election Proposal will have no effect on the outcome of any such proposal.

Our Board unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” each of these proposals and “FOR” each of the director nominees.

SUMMARY TERM SHEET

This summary term sheet, together with the sections entitled “Questions and Answers About the Proposals for Stockholders” and “Summary of the Proxy Statement,” summarizes certain information contained in this proxy statement, but does not contain all of the information that is important to you. You should read carefully this entire proxy statement, including the attached Annexes, for a more complete understanding of the matters to be considered at the special meeting. In addition, for definitions used commonly throughout this proxy statement, including this summary term sheet, please see the section entitled “Certain Defined Terms.”

•        Forum Merger II Corporation, a Delaware corporation, which we refer to as “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company,” is a special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

•        There are currently 25,650,411 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, consisting of (i) 19,995,411 public shares, (ii) 5,000,000 founder shares held by the Sponsor, (iii) 555,000 private placement shares held by the Sponsor and (iv) 100,000 private placement shares held by the IPO underwriters. There are currently no shares of Company preferred stock issued and outstanding. In addition, we issued 20,000,000 public warrants to purchase Class A common stock (originally sold as part of the units issued in our IPO) as part of our IPO along with 655,000 private placement units, of which 555,000 private placement units were issued to the Sponsor and 100,000 private placement units were issued to the IPO underwriters, in a private placement concurrently with our IPO. The warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the business combination, but the Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares upon exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants is then effective and these warrants will expire five years after the completion of the business combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants at a price of $0.01 per warrant, if the last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third business day before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrantholders. The private placement warrants, however, are non-redeemable so long as they are held by the Sponsor, the IPO underwriters or their permitted transferees. In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a business combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the trust account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the trust account. If a business combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the trust account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the trust account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of the Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to any such Working Capital Loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a business combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,200,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be converted into units of the post-business combination company at a price of $10.00 per unit. The units would be identical to the private placement units. As of the date of this proxy statement, the Company does not have any Working Capital Loans outstanding. For more information regarding the Company’s warrants, please see the section entitled “Description of Securities.”

•        Ittella Parent is headquartered in Paramount, California and is a producer of frozen plant-based food products.

•        The aggregate consideration payable at the Closing to the Ittella Parent securityholders is the Closing Merger Consideration. The Closing is expected to take place in early October, as soon as practicable after the special meeting, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions in the Merger Agreement. The Closing Merger Consideration is required to comprise between $50,000,000 and $75,000,000 in cash, with the remainder of the Closing Merger Consideration comprising common stock, valued at $10.00 per share. The Holdback Shares are payable after the Closing to the Ittella Parent stockholders upon satisfaction of the

8

following conditions within the first three years after the Closing: (i) if the trading price of common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 on any 20 trading days in any 30-day trading period, then 2,500,000 Holdback Shares will be released to the Ittella Parent stockholders, or (ii) if the trading price of common stock equals or exceeds $14.00 on any 20 trading days in any 30-day trading period, then 2,500,000 Holdback Shares will be released to the Ittella Parent stockholders. If a change in control occurs within the first three years after the Closing, all Holdback Shares not previously released will be released to the Ittella Parent stockholders. If the conditions to release of the Holdback Shares are not satisfied within the first three years of Closing, the Holdback Shares are forfeited. The Sponsor has agreed that, at the Closing, it will place 2,500,000 founder shares held by it into escrow. The vesting, release and forfeiture terms of the Sponsor Earnout Shares are the same as the vesting, release and forfeiture terms applicable to the Holdback Shares, with 50% of the Sponsor Earnout Shares vesting at each Share Price Trigger, and all Sponsor Earnout Shares released if a change of control occurs, in each case, within the first three years after the Closing. If the conditions to the release of any Sponsor Earnout Shares are not satisfied on or prior to the date that it is finally determined that the Ittella Parent stockholders are not entitled to or eligible to receive any further Holdback Releases as defined in, and pursuant to, the Merger Agreement, the Sponsor Earnout Shares will be forfeited by the Sponsor on that date. The Company and the Holder Representative have agreed that, at the Closing, the Company will place 100,000 shares of common stock into an adjustment escrow account. Following the date on which the Closing Merger Consideration is finally determined, all or a portion of the Adjustment Escrow Stock will either be released to the Ittella Parent stockholders or released to the Company in accordance with the adjustment mechanisms set forth in Section 3.5 of the Merger Agreement. For more information about the Merger Agreement, please see the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — The Merger Agreement.”

(1)     Assumes that holders of 11,789,271 public shares exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Closing for $122,185,668 at a redemption price of $10.36 per share (based on approximately $207,235,255 held in trust as of March 31, 2020).

(2)      Includes 100,000 private placement shares held by the IPO underwriters.

(3)      Includes the Sponsor and Forum’s current officers and directors. Includes founder shares that are not Sponsor Earnout Shares. Founder shares will be converted into shares of common stock at the Closing on a one-for-one basis.

The ownership percentages set forth above were calculated based on the amounts set forth in the sources and uses table on pages 118 and 119 of this proxy statement do not take into account (i) warrants that will remain outstanding immediately following the business combination and may be exercised thereafter (commencing 30 days after the Closing); (ii) the Holdback Shares and the Sponsor Earnout Shares; or (iii) the issuance of any shares upon completion of the business combination under the Incentive Plan, substantially in the form attached to this proxy statement as Annex E, but does include founder shares that are not Sponsor Earnout Shares. Founder shares will be converted into shares of common stock at the Closing on a one-for-one basis. For more information, please see the sections entitled “Summary of the Proxy Statement — Impact of the Business Combination on the Company’s Public Float” and “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”

If the actual facts are different than these assumptions, the percentage ownership retained by our public stockholders following the business combination will be different. The public warrants and private placement warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the business combination and will expire five years after the completion of the business combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. As described in “Summary Term Sheet” and elsewhere in this proxy statement, if the conditions to release of the Holdback Shares are not satisfied within the first three years of Closing, the Holdback Shares are forfeited. In addition, the Sponsor will place the Sponsor Earnout Shares into escrow (and subject those shares to the vesting conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement) and the Company will place 100,000 shares of common stock into an adjustment escrow account, as described above on pages 8-13. If the vesting conditions are not satisfied, then the Sponsor Earnout Shares will be forfeited and cancelled.

•        Our management and Board considered various factors in determining whether to approve the Merger Agreement and the business combination. For more information about our decision-making process, see the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Our Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination.”

•        Pursuant to the current charter, in connection with the business combination, holders of our public shares may elect to have their Class A common stock redeemed for cash at the applicable redemption price per share calculated in accordance with the current charter. As of March 31, 2020, this would have amounted to approximately $10.36 per share. If a holder exercises his, her, or its redemption rights, then the holder will exchange his, her, or its public shares for cash and will no longer own shares of the post-combination company and will not participate in the future growth of the post-combination company, if any. Such a holder will be entitled to receive cash for his, her, or its public shares only if he, she, or it properly demands redemption and delivers his, her, or its shares (either physically or electronically) to the Transfer Agent at least two business days prior to the special meeting. Please see the section entitled “Special Meeting of Stockholders — Redemption Rights.”

•        In addition to voting on the Business Combination Proposal, stockholders are being asked to vote on the following proposals at the special meeting:

•        Advisory Charter Proposal B — to provide that the Company opts out of Section 203 of the DGCL, which prevents certain Delaware corporations, under certain circumstances, from engaging in a “business combination” with certain “interested stockholders” and their affiliates, and, instead, be governed by a provision substantially similar to Section 203 of the DGCL; for more information on Section 203 of the DGCL, see the section titled “Description of Securities — Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws”;

•        Advisory Charter Proposal E — to change the name of the new public entity to “Tattooed Chef, Inc.” from “Forum Merger II Corporation”;

•        Proposal No. 7 — Adjournment Proposal — To consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the adjournment of the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the condition precedent proposals.

Please see the sections entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal,” “Proposal No. 2 — The Nasdaq Proposal,” “Proposal No. 3 — The Charter Proposal,” “Proposal No. 4 — The Advisory Charter Proposals,” “Proposal No. 5 — The Incentive Plan Proposal,” “Proposal No. 6 — The Director Election Proposal” andProposal No. 7 — The Adjournment Proposal.” The business combination is conditioned on the approval of the condition precedent proposals at the special meeting. The election of nine director nominees in the Director Election Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the condition precedent proposals, including the Charter Proposal. The Advisory Charter Proposals are not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in the accompanying proxy statement.

11

•        Upon the Closing, we anticipate increasing the initial size of our Board from six to nine directors. If the conditions precedent proposals, including the Charter Proposal, are approved, the business combination is consummated, our board size is increased and the director nominees are elected to fill the vacant positions pursuant to the Director Election Proposal, our Board will consist of nine directors. Please see the section entitled “Management after the Business Combination.”

•        Unless waived by the parties to the Merger Agreement, and subject to applicable law, the Closing is subject to a number of conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement including, among others, the receipt of certain stockholder approvals contemplated by this proxy statement. For more information about the closing conditions to the business combination, please see the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — The Merger Agreement — Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination.”

•        The Merger Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the consummation of the business combination upon agreement of the parties thereto, or by the Company or Ittella Parent in specified circumstances. For more information about the termination rights under the Merger Agreement, please see the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — The Merger Agreement — Termination.”

•        The business combination involves numerous risks. For more information about these risks, please see the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

•        In considering the recommendation of our Board to vote for the proposals presented at the special meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal, and for each of the director nominees, you should be aware that aside from their interests as stockholders, the Sponsor and certain of its affiliates and certain members of our Board and officers have interests in the business combination that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of our stockholders generally. Our Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating the business combination and transaction agreements and in recommending to our stockholders that they vote in favor of the proposals presented at the special meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal. Stockholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the proposals presented at the special meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal. These interests include, among other things:

•        the fact that the Sponsor has agreed not to redeem any of the founder shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination;

•        the fact that the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for the founder shares and those securities will have a significantly higher value at the time of the business combination, which if unrestricted and freely tradable would be valued at approximately $[        ] based on the closing price of our Class A common stock on Nasdaq on [        ], 2020, but, given the restrictions on those shares, we believe those shares have less value;

•        the fact that the Sponsor has agreed to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to its founder shares if we fail to complete an initial business combination by September 30, 2020;

•        the fact that the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $5,550,000 for its 555,000 private placement units, and if a business combination is not consummated by September 30, 2020, the proceeds from the sale of the private placement units will be used to fund the redemption of public shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the private placement units, private placement shares and private placement warrants will be worthless;

•        the fact that if the trust account is liquidated, including if we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be jointly and severally liable to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced below $10.00 per public share, or such lesser per public share amount as is in the trust account on the liquidation date, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which we have discussed entering into an acquisition agreement or claims of any third party for services rendered or products sold to us, but only if the target business or vendor has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the trust account;

12

•        the anticipated appointment of our Co-Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Director, David Boris, as a director of the post-combination company;

•        the continued indemnification of our existing directors and officers and the continuation of our directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the business combination;

•        the fact that the Sponsor will place the Sponsor Earnout Shares into escrow and subject the Sponsor Earnout Shares to the vesting conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement;

•        the fact that the Sponsor and our officers and directors will lose their entire investment in us and will not be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses or repaid the Extension Note or Working Capital Loans, if any, if an initial business combination is not consummated by September 30, 2020; and

•        the fact that at the Closing we will enter into the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, which provides for registration rights to the Investors and their permitted transferees.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROPOSALS FOR STOCKHOLDERS

The questions and answers below highlight only selected information from this document and only briefly address some commonly asked questions about the proposals to be presented at the special meeting, including with respect to the business combination. The following questions and answers do not include all the information that is important to our stockholders. We urge stockholders to read carefully this entire proxy statement, including the Annexes and the other documents referred to herein, to fully understand the business combination and the voting procedures for the special meeting, which will be held on [             ], 2020, at 10:00 a.m., Eastern time, at https://[                ].

Q:     Why am I receiving this proxy statement?

A:      Our stockholders are being asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the business combination, among other proposals. We have entered into the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into Ittella Parent, with Ittella Parent surviving the merger in accordance with the DGCL as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. We refer to the transactions completed by the Merger Agreement herein as the “business combination.” As a result of the foregoing, we will acquire Ittella Parent. You are being asked to vote on the business combination between us and Ittella Parent. The aggregate consideration payable at the Closing to the Ittella Parent securityholders is the Closing Merger Consideration. The Closing is expected to take place in early October, as soon as practicable after the special meeting, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions in the Merger Agreement. The Closing Merger Consideration is required to comprise between $50,000,000 and $75,000,000 in cash, with the remainder of the Closing Merger Consideration comprising common stock, valued at $10.00 per share. The Holdback Shares are payable after the Closing to the Ittella Parent stockholders upon satisfaction of the following conditions within the first three years after the Closing: (i) if the trading price of common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 on any 20 trading days in any 30-day trading period, then 2,500,000 Holdback Shares will be released to the Ittella Parent stockholders, or (ii) if the trading price of common stock equals or exceeds $14.00 on any 20 trading days in any 30-day trading period, then 2,500,000 Holdback Shares will be released to the Ittella Parent stockholders. If a change in control occurs within the first three years after the Closing, all Holdback Shares not previously released will be released to the Ittella Parent stockholders. If the conditions to release of the Holdback Shares are not satisfied within the first three years of Closing, the Holdback Shares are forfeited. The Sponsor has agreed that, at the Closing, it will place 2,500,000 founder shares held by it into escrow. The vesting, release and forfeiture terms of the Sponsor Earnout Shares are the same as the vesting, release and forfeiture terms applicable to the Holdback Shares, with 50% of the Sponsor Earnout Shares vesting at each Share Price Trigger, and all Sponsor Earnout Shares released if a change of control occurs, in each case, within the first three years after the Closing. If the conditions to the release of any Sponsor Earnout Shares are not satisfied on or prior to the date that it is finally determined that the Ittella Parent stockholders are not entitled to or eligible to receive any further Holdback Releases as defined in, and pursuant to, the Merger Agreement, the Sponsor Earnout Shares will be forfeited by the Sponsor on that date. The Company and the Holder Representative have agreed that, at the Closing, the Company will place 100,000 shares of common stock into an adjustment escrow account. Following the date on which the Closing Merger Consideration is finally determined, all or a portion of the Adjustment Escrow Stock will either be released to the Ittella Parent stockholders or released to the Company in accordance with the adjustment mechanisms set forth in Section 3.5 of the Merger Agreement. Copies of the Merger Agreement and First Amendment are attached to this proxy statement as Annex A-1 and Annex A-2, respectively.

This proxy statement and its Annexes contain important information about the business combination and the other matters to be acted upon at the special meeting. You should read this proxy statement and its Annexes carefully and in their entirety.

Your vote is important. You are encouraged to submit your proxy as soon as possible after carefully reviewing this proxy statement and its Annexes.

•        Proposal No. 4 — Advisory Charter Proposals — To consider and act upon the following proposals to approve and adopt, on a non-binding advisory basis, certain differences between the current charter and the proposed charter, which are being presented in accordance with the requirements of the SEC as eight separate sub-proposals:

•        Advisory Charter Proposal A — to provide that any amendment to provisions of the current charter and proposed bylaws will require the approval of the holders of at least 85% of the Company’s then-outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally at an election of directors; provided, that, at any time when, immediately prior to the filing and effectiveness of the proposed charter, the Ittella Parties beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than a majority of the total voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally at an election of directors, the reference to “85%” in the foregoing sentence shall be deemed to be amended and replaced with the words “662/3%”;

•        Advisory Charter Proposal B — to provide that the Company opts out of Section 203 of the DGCL, which prevents certain Delaware corporations, under certain circumstances, from engaging in a “business combination” with certain “interested stockholders” and their affiliates, and, instead, be governed by a provision substantially similar to Section 203 of the DGCL; for more information on Section 203 of the DGCL, see the section titled “Description of Securities Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws”;

•        Advisory Charter Proposal C — to provide that the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the federal securities laws, including the Securities Act;

15

•        Advisory Charter Proposal D — to provide that, subject to the limitations imposed by applicable law, directors may be removed with cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 85% of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally at an election of directors; provided, that, at any time when the Ittella Parties beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than a majority of the total voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally at an election of directors, subject to any limitations imposed by applicable law, any individual director or directors may be removed with cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 662/3% of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally at an election of directors;

•        Advisory Charter Proposal E — to change the name of the new public entity to “Tattooed Chef, Inc.” from “Forum Merger II Corporation”;

•        Advisory Charter Proposal F — to, upon completion of the business combination and the conversion of the Company’s Class B common stock into the Company’s Class A common stock, increase the authorized capital stock from 111,000,000 shares, consisting of 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock to 1,010,000,000 shares, which would consist of 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, by, on the effective date of the filing of the proposed charter: (i) reclassifying all shares of Class B common stock as Class A common stock; (ii) immediately following the conversion of such Class B common stock into shares of Class A common stock, reclassifying all shares of Class A common stock as common stock; and (iii) creating an additional 890,000,000 shares of common stock and 9,000,000 shares of preferred stock;

•        Advisory Charter Proposal G — to eliminate various provisions applicable only to blank check companies; and

•        Advisory Charter Proposal H — to change the classification of the Board from two classes to three classes of directors, with each class elected for staggered terms;

•        Proposal No. 5 — Incentive Plan Proposal — To consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Incentive Plan, substantially in the form attached to this proxy statement as Annex E, including the authorization of the initial share reserve under the Incentive Plan; and

•        Proposal No. 6 — Director Election Proposal — To consider and vote upon a proposal to elect nine directors to serve staggered terms on the Board until immediately following the 2021, 2022 and 2023 annual meetings of our stockholders, as applicable, and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified; alternatively, in the event the condition precedent proposals, including the Business Combination Proposal and Charter Proposal, are not approved and our Board continues to have two classes of directors, to elect three directors to serve as Class II directors on the Board for a term of two years expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2022 or until each such director’s successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until each such director’s earlier death, resignation, retirement or removal; and

•        Proposal No. 7 — Adjournment Proposal — To consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the adjournment of the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the condition precedent proposals. The Adjournment Proposal will only be presented at the special meeting if there are not sufficient votes to approve the condition precedent proposals.

Q:     Are the proposals conditioned on one another?

A:     Yes. The business combination is conditioned on the approval of the condition precedent proposals at the special meeting. The election of nine director nominees in the Director Election Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the condition precedent proposals, including the Charter Proposal. The Advisory Charter Proposals are not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in the accompanying proxy statement. It is important

16

for you to note that if the condition precedent proposals do not receive the requisite vote for approval, then we will not consummate the business combination. If we do not consummate the business combination and fail to complete an initial business combination by September 30, 2020, we will be required to dissolve and liquidate our trust account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the public stockholders.

Q:     Why is the Company providing stockholders with the opportunity to vote on the business combination?

A:     Under the current charter, we must provide all holders of public shares with the opportunity to have their public shares redeemed upon the consummation of our initial business combination either in conjunction with a tender offer or in conjunction with a stockholder vote. For business and other reasons, we have elected to provide our stockholders with the opportunity to have their public shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder vote rather than a tender offer. Therefore, we are seeking to obtain the approval of our stockholders of the Business Combination Proposal in order to allow our public stockholders to effectuate redemptions of their public shares in connection with the closing of our business combination. The adoption of the Merger Agreement is required under Delaware law and the approval of the business combination is required under the current charter. In addition, such approval is also a condition to the Closing under the Merger Agreement.

Q:     What revenues and profits/losses has Ittella Parent generated in the last two years?

A:     For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, Ittella Parent generated revenues of approximately $84.9 million and $47.3 million, respectively, with net income of approximately $4.7 million and a loss of $0.1 million for those same periods.

For additional information, please see the sections entitled “Summary Historical Financial Information of Ittella Parent” and “Ittella Parent Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Q:     What will happen in the business combination?

A:     Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into Ittella Parent, with Ittella Parent surviving the merger in accordance with the DGCL as our wholly owned subsidiary.

Q:     Following the business combination, will the Company’s securities continue to trade on a stock exchange?

A:     Yes. We have applied to continue the listing of the post-combination company’s common stock and warrants on Nasdaq under the symbols “TTCF” and “TTCFW,” respectively, upon the Closing. Our units will automatically separate into the component securities upon consummation of the business combination and, as a result, will no longer trade as a separate security.

Q:     How has the announcement of the business combination affected the trading price of Class A common stock?

A:     On June 11, 2020, the trading date before the public announcement of the business combination, the Company’s units, Class A common stock and warrants closed at $17.27, $13.44 and $4.00, respectively. On August [        ], 2020, the trading date immediately prior to the date of this proxy statement, the Company’s units, Class A common stock and warrants closed at $[        ], $[        ] and $[        ], respectively.

Q:     How will the business combination impact the shares of the Company outstanding after the business combination?

A:     After the business combination, assuming no redemptions, the amount of common stock outstanding will increase to approximately 57,645,000 shares of common stock (assuming that no shares of Class A common stock are redeemed and excluding the Holdback Shares and Sponsor Earnout Shares). Additional shares of common stock may be issuable in the future as a result of the issuance of additional shares that are not currently outstanding, including the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the public warrants, private placement warrants and options issued in connection with the business combination after the business combination. The issuance and sale of these shares in the public market could adversely impact the market price of our common

17

stock, even if our business is doing well. As described in “Summary Term Sheet” and elsewhere in this proxy statement, if the conditions to release of the Holdback Shares are not satisfied within the first three years of Closing, the Holdback Shares are forfeited. In addition, the Sponsor will place the Sponsor Earnout Shares into escrow (and subject the Sponsor Earnout Shares to the vesting conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement) and the Company will place 100,000 shares of common stock into an adjustment escrow account, as described above on pages 8-13. If the vesting conditions are not satisfied, then the Sponsor Earnout Shares will be forfeited and cancelled.

Q:     Is the business combination the first step in a “going private” transaction?

A:     No. The Company does not intend for the business combination to be the first step in a “going private” transaction. One of the primary purposes of the business combination is to provide a platform for Ittella Parent to access the U.S. public markets.

Q:     Will the management of Ittella Parent change in the business combination?

A:     We anticipate that all of the executive officers of Ittella Parent will remain with the post-combination company. The current directors of the Company, other than David Boris, will resign at the time of the business combination. Salvatore Galletti, Ed Gelfand, Bryan Rosenberg, Paula Ciaramitaro, Jennifer Fellner, Ryan Olohan, Daniel Williamson and Marie D. Quintero-Johnson will be appointed to serve as directors of the post-combination company upon completion of the business combination. Pursuant to the terms of Merger Agreement, of the nine directors to be appointed to our board, six will be designated by Ittella Parent and three will be designated by the Sponsor. Ittella Parent’s co-Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operations Officer will serve as Ittella Parent’s Chief Operations Officer in the post-combination company. Please see the section entitled “Management After the Business Combination” for additional information.

Q:     What equity stake will current stockholders of the Company hold in the post-combination company after the closing?

A:     We anticipate that, upon completion of the business combination, the approximate ownership interests of the company will be as set forth in the table below:

________

(1)     Assumes that holders of 11,789,271 public shares exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Closing for $122,185,668 at a redemption price of $10.36 per share (based on approximately $207,235,255 held in trust as of March 31, 2020).

(2)     Includes 100,000 private placement shares held by the IPO underwriters.

(3)     Includes the Sponsor and Forum’s current officers and directors. Includes founder shares that are not Sponsor Earnout Shares. Founder shares will be converted into shares of common stock at the Closing on a one-for-one basis.

The ownership percentages set forth above were calculated based on the amounts set forth in the sources and uses table on pages 118 and 119 of this proxy statement do not take into account (i) warrants that will remain outstanding immediately following the business combination and may be exercised thereafter (commencing 30 days after the Closing); (ii) the Holdback Shares and the Sponsor Earnout Shares; or (iii) the issuance of any shares upon completion of the business combination under the Incentive Plan, substantially in the form attached to this proxy statement as Annex E.

If the actual facts are different than these assumptions, the percentage ownership retained by our public stockholders following the business combination will be different. The public warrants and private placement warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the business combination and will expire five years after the completion of the business combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. As described in “Summary Term Sheet” and elsewhere in this proxy statement, if the conditions to release of the Holdback Shares are not satisfied within the first three years of Closing, the Holdback Shares are forfeited. In addition, the

18

Sponsor will place the Sponsor Earnout Shares into escrow (and subject those shares to the vesting conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement) and the Company will place 100,000 shares of common stock into an adjustment escrow account, as described above on pages 8-13. If the vesting conditions are not satisfied, then the Sponsor Earnout Shares will be forfeited and cancelled.

For more information, please see the sections entitled “Summary of the Proxy Statement — Impact of the Business Combination on the Company’s Public Float” and “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” for further information.

Q:     Will the Company obtain new financing in connection with the business combination?

A:     No, we do not currently intend to seek new financing in connection with the business combination. However, the Merger Agreement permits us to seek up to $75,000,000 of supplemental financing in connection with a business combination.

Q:     What conditions must be satisfied to complete the business combination?

A:     There are a number of closing conditions in the Merger Agreement, including the approval by the stockholders of the Company of the condition precedent proposals. For a summary of the conditions that must be satisfied or waived prior to completion of the business combination, please see the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — The Merger Agreement.”

Q:     Why is the Company proposing the Nasdaq Proposal?

A:     We are proposing the Nasdaq Proposal in order to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5635(a) and (d), which require stockholder approval of certain transactions that result in the issuance of 20% or more of the outstanding voting power or shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance of stock or securities. Assuming no redemptions, we expect to issue approximately 34,500,000 shares of common stock in connection with the business combination (not including the Holdback Shares). Because we may issue 20% or more of our outstanding common stock as Stock Consideration, we are required to obtain stockholder approval of such issuance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rules 5635(a) and (d). For more information, please see the section entitled “Proposal No. 2 — The Nasdaq Proposal.”

Q:     Why is the Company proposing the Charter Proposal?

A:     We are proposing the Charter Proposal in order to approve the proposed charter, substantially in the form attached to the accompanying proxy statement as Annex C. In the judgment of the Board, the proposed charter is necessary to address the needs of the post-business combination company.

Pursuant to Delaware law and the Merger Agreement, we are required to submit the Charter Proposals to the Company’s stockholders for approval. Please see the section entitled “Proposal No. 3 — The Charter Proposal” for more information.

Q:     Why is the Company proposing the Advisory Charter Proposals?

A:     We are requesting that our stockholders vote upon, on a non-binding advisory basis, a proposal to approve certain amendments contained in the proposed charter that materially affect stockholder rights, which are those amendments that will be made to the current charter as reflected in the proposed charter if the Charter Proposal is approved.

This separate vote is not otherwise required by Delaware law separate and apart from the Charter Proposal, but pursuant to SEC guidance, the Company is required to submit these provisions to our stockholders separately for approval. Please see the section entitled “Proposal No. 4 — The Advisory Charter Proposals” for additional information.

Q:     Why is the Company proposing the Incentive Plan Proposal?

A:     The purpose of the Incentive Plan is to further align the interests of the eligible participants with those of stockholders by providing long-term incentive compensation opportunities tied to the performance of the Company. Please see the section entitled “Proposal No. 5 — The Incentive Plan Proposal” for additional information.

19

Q:     Why is the Company proposing the Director Election Proposal?

A:     Upon consummation of the transaction, our Board anticipates increasing its initial size from six directors to nine directors. Assuming the condition precedent proposals, including the Charter Proposal, are approved, and the business combination is consummated, the classification of the Board will change from two classes to three classes, with Class I directors having a term that will expire at the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders, Class II directors having a term that will expire at the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders and Class III directors having a term that will expire at the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders, and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or until their earlier resignation, removal or death. Our stockholders are being asked to elect nine directors to serve staggered terms on our Board until immediately following the 2021, 2022 and 2023 annual meetings of our stockholders, as applicable, and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or until each such director’s earlier death, resignation, retirement or removal; alternatively, in the event the condition precedent proposals, including the Charter Proposal, are not approved and our Board remains classified, to elect two directors to serve as Class II directors on the Board for a term of two years expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2022 or until each such director’s successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until each such director’s earlier death, resignation, retirement or removal.

The Company believes it is in the best interests of stockholders to allow stockholders to vote upon the election of newly appointed directors. Please see the section entitled “Proposal No. 6 — The Director Election Proposal” for additional information.

Q:     Why is the Company proposing the Adjournment Proposal?

A:     We are proposing the Adjournment Proposal to allow our Board to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates to permit further solicitation of proxies if there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the condition precedent proposals. The Adjournment Proposal will only be presented at the special meeting if there are not sufficient votes to approve the condition precedent proposals. Please see the section entitled “Proposal No. 7 — The Adjournment Proposal” for additional information.

Q:     What happens if I sell my shares of Class A common stock before the special meeting?

A:     The record date for the special meeting is earlier than the date that the business combination is expected to be completed. If you transfer your shares of Class A common stock after the record date, but before the special meeting, unless the transferee obtains from you a proxy to vote those shares, you will retain your right to vote at the special meeting. However, you will not be able to seek redemption of your shares of Class A common stock because you will no longer be able to deliver them for cancellation upon consummation of the business combination. If you transfer your shares of Class A common stock prior to the record date, you will have no right to vote those shares at the special meeting or redeem those shares for a pro rata portion of the proceeds held in our trust account.

Q:     What vote is required to approve the proposals presented at the special meeting?

A:     Approval of the condition precedent proposals and the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Approval of the Advisory Charter Proposals, each of which is a non-binding vote, requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the votes cast by our stockholders present in person (which would include presence at the virtual special meeting) or represented by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote thereon.

The election of directors is decided by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person (which would include presence at the virtual special meeting) or represented by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. This means that each of the director nominees will be elected if they receive more affirmative votes than any other nominee for the same position. Stockholders may not cumulate their votes with respect to the election of directors.

A stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the special meeting (which would include voting at the virtual special meeting) will not be counted towards the number of shares of common stock required to validly establish a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established. Each of the failure to vote by proxy or to vote in

20

person (which would include voting at the virtual special meeting), an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote on any of the condition precedent proposals and the Adjournment Proposal will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” any such proposal. Each of the failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person (which would include voting at the virtual special meeting), an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote on any of the Advisory Charter Proposals and the Director Election Proposal will have no effect on the outcome of any such proposal.

Q:     What happens if the Business Combination Proposal is not approved?

A:     If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved and we do not consummate a business combination by September 30, 2020, the Company will be required to dissolve and liquidate its trust account.

Q:     May the Company, the Sponsor or the Company’s directors or officers or their affiliates purchase shares in connection with the business combination?

A:     The Sponsor or the Company’s or Ittella Parent’s directors, officers or advisors, or any of their respective affiliates, may purchase public shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market prior to the special meeting, although they are under no obligation to do so. Any such purchases that are completed after the record date for the special meeting may include an agreement with a selling stockholder that the stockholder, for so long as he, she or it remains the record holder of the shares in question, will vote in favor of the proposals presented at the special meeting and/or will not exercise its redemption rights with respect to the shares so purchased. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood that the proposals to be voted upon at the special meeting are approved by the requisite number of votes. If such purchases do occur, the purchasers may seek to purchase shares from stockholders who would otherwise have voted against the Business Combination Proposal and elected to redeem their shares for a portion of the trust account. Any such privately negotiated purchases may be effected at purchase prices that are below or in excess of the per-share pro rata portion of the trust account. Any public shares held by or subsequently purchased by our affiliates may be voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals presented at the special meeting. None of the Sponsor, the Company’s, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller or during a restricted period under Regulation M under the Exchange Act.

Q:     How many votes do I have at the special meeting?

A:     Our stockholders are entitled to one vote on each proposal presented at the special meeting for each share of common stock held of record as of [        ], 2020, the record date for the special meeting. As of the close of business on the record date, there were [            ] outstanding shares of our common stock.

Q:     What constitutes a quorum at the special meeting?

A:     A majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote as of the record date at the special meeting must be present, in person (which would include presence at the virtual special meeting) or represented by proxy, at the special meeting to constitute a quorum and in order to conduct business at the special meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present for the purpose of determining a quorum. Shares held by the Sponsor, who currently beneficially owns 21.65% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, will count towards this quorum. In the absence of a quorum, the chairman of the special meeting has the power to adjourn the special meeting. As of the record date for the special meeting, [            ] shares of our Class A common stock would be required to achieve a quorum.

Q:     How will the Sponsor and the Company’s directors and officers vote?

A:     Prior to our IPO, we entered into agreements with the Sponsor and each of our directors and officers, pursuant to which each agreed to vote any shares of common stock owned by them in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. None of the Sponsor, directors or officers has purchased any shares of our common stock during or after our IPO. As of the date of this proxy statement, neither we nor the Sponsor, directors or officers have entered into any agreement, and are not currently in negotiations, to purchase shares prior to the consummation of the business combination. Currently, the Sponsor beneficially owns 21.65% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, including all of the founder shares, and will be able to vote all of those shares at the special meeting.

21

Q:     What interests do the Sponsor and the Company’s current officers and directors have in the business combination?

A:     The Sponsor and certain of its affiliates and certain members of our Board and officers have interests in the business combination that are different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) your interests. Our Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the business combination, and in recommending to our stockholders that they vote in favor of the proposals presented at the special meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal. Stockholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the business combination. Please see the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination” for additional information.

Q:     Did the Board obtain a third-party fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the business combination?

A:     No. The current charter does not require our Board to seek a third-party fairness opinion in connection with a business combination unless the target business is affiliated with the Sponsor, directors or officers.

Q:     What happens if I vote against the Business Combination Proposal?

A:     If you vote against the Business Combination Proposal but the Business Combination Proposal still obtains the requisite vote at the special meeting, then the Business Combination Proposal will be approved and, assuming the approval of the other condition precedent proposals and the satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions to closing, the business combination will be consummated in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

If you vote against the Business Combination Proposal and the Business Combination Proposal does not obtain the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote thereon at the special meeting, then the Business Combination Proposal will fail and we will not consummate the business combination. If we do not consummate the business combination, we may continue to try to complete a business combination with a different target business until September 30, 2020. If we fail to complete an initial business combination by September 30, 2020, then we will be required to dissolve and liquidate the trust account by returning the then-remaining funds in that account to our public stockholders.

Q:     Do I have redemption rights?

A:     If you are a holder of public shares, you may redeem your public shares for cash at the applicable redemption price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the aggregate amount on deposit in the trust account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the business combination, including interest not previously released to us to pay our taxes, by (ii) the total number of then-outstanding public shares; provided, that, the Company will not redeem any shares of Class A common stock issued in the IPO to the extent that the redemption would result in the Company having net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) of less than $5,000,001. A public stockholder, together with any of his, her or its affiliates or any other person with whom he, she or it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate his, her or its shares or, if part of such a group, the group’s shares, in excess of 15% of the shares of Class A common stock included in the units sold in our IPO without the prior consent of the Company. Holders of our outstanding public warrants do not have redemption rights in connection with the business combination. The Sponsor and our directors and officers have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any public shares they may hold in connection with the consummation of the business combination, and the founder shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price. For illustrative purposes, based on the fair value of marketable securities held in the trust account of approximately $207,235,255 as of March 31, 2020, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.36.

22

You will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:

(i)     (a) hold public shares or (b) hold public shares through units and you elect to separate your units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares; and

(ii)    prior to [        ], Eastern time, on [            ], 2020, (a) submit a written request to the Transfer Agent that the Company redeem your public shares for cash and (b) deliver your public shares to the Transfer Agent, physically or electronically through DTC.

Holders of units must elect to separate the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. Any demand for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests and thereafter, with our consent, until the Closing.

Additionally, shares properly tendered for redemption will only be redeemed if the business combination is consummated; otherwise holders of such shares will only be entitled to a pro rata portion of the trust account, including interest not previously released to us to pay our taxes (less up to $50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) in connection with the liquidation of the trust account, unless we complete an alternative business combination prior to September 30, 2020.

Q:     Can the Sponsor redeem its founder shares in connection with consummation of the business combination?

A:     No. The Sponsor and our officers and directors have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and any public shares they may hold in connection with the consummation of our business combination.

Q:     Is there a limit on the number of shares I may redeem?

A:     Yes. A public stockholder, together with any affiliate of the stockholder or any other person with whom the stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), is restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares sold in our IPO without the prior consent of the Company. Accordingly, all shares in excess of 15% owned by a holder will not be redeemed for cash without the prior consent of the Company. On the other hand, a public stockholder who holds less than 15% of the public shares of Class A common stock may redeem all of the public shares held by the stockholder for cash.

In no event is your ability to vote all of your shares (including those shares held by you in excess of 15% of the shares sold in our IPO) for or against our business combination restricted. We have no specified maximum redemption threshold under the current charter, other than the aforementioned 15% threshold. Every share of Class A common stock that is redeemed by our public stockholders will reduce the amount in our trust account, which held marketable securities with a fair value of approximately $207,235,255 as of March 31, 2020. In no event will we redeem shares of our Class A common stock in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 upon consummation of the business combination.

Q:     Is there a limit on the total number of shares that may be redeemed?

A:     Yes. The current charter provides that we may not redeem our public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 upon consummation of the business combination (such that we are not subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules) or any greater net tangible asset or cash requirement which may be contained in the Merger Agreement. Other than this limitation, the current charter does not provide a specified maximum redemption threshold. In addition, the Merger Agreement provides that Ittella Parent’s obligation to consummate the business combination is conditioned on cash consideration available for payment to the Ittella Parent securityholders is at least $50,000,000. If the aggregate cash consideration we would be required to pay for all shares of Class A common stock that are validly submitted for redemption plus the amounts required to satisfy closing cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement exceeds the aggregate amount of cash available to us, we may not complete the business combination or redeem any shares, all shares of Class A common stock submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof, and we instead may search for an alternate business combination.

Q:     Will how I vote affect my ability to exercise redemption rights?

A:     No. You may exercise your redemption rights whether you vote your shares of common stock for or against, or whether you abstain from voting on the Business Combination Proposal or any other proposal described by this proxy statement. As a result, the Merger Agreement can be approved by stockholders who will redeem their shares and no longer remain stockholders, leaving stockholders who choose not to redeem their shares holding shares in a company with a potentially less-liquid trading market, fewer stockholders, potentially less cash and the potential inability to meet the Nasdaq rules.

Q:     How do I exercise my redemption rights?

A:     In order to exercise your redemption rights, you must (i)(a) hold public shares or (b) hold public shares through units and you elect to separate your units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares; and (ii) prior to [        ], Eastern time, on [              ], 2020, (a) submit a written request to the Transfer Agent that the Company redeem your public shares for cash and (b) deliver your public shares to the Transfer Agent, physically or electronically through DTC. Any demand for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests and thereafter, with our consent, until the Closing.

The Transfer Agent’s address is as follows:

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
1 State Street, 30th Floor
New York, New York 10004
Attention: Mark Zimkind
Email: mzimkind@continentalstock.com

Please check the box on the enclosed proxy card marked “Stockholder Certification” if you are not acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) with any other stockholder with respect to shares of common stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of the public shares, together with any affiliate of his, her, or its or any other person with whom he, she, or it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 15% of the shares of Class A common stock included in the units sold in our IPO without the prior consent of the Company, which we refer to as the “15% threshold.” Accordingly, all public shares in excess of the 15% threshold beneficially owned by a public stockholder or group will not be redeemed for cash without the prior consent of the Company.

Stockholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights and opting to deliver physical certificates should allot sufficient time to obtain physical certificates from the Transfer Agent and time to effect delivery. It is our understanding that stockholders should generally allow at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the Transfer Agent. However, we do not have any control over this process and it may take longer than two weeks. Stockholders who hold their shares in street name will have to coordinate with their bank, broker or other nominee to have the shares certificated or delivered electronically.

Stockholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their shares in “street name” are required to either tender their certificates to our Transfer Agent prior to the date set forth in these proxy materials, or up to two business days prior to the vote on the proposal to approve the business combination at the special meeting, or to deliver their shares to the Transfer Agent electronically using DTC’s Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian (DWAC) system, at the stockholder’s option. The requirement for physical or electronic delivery prior to the special meeting ensures that a redeeming stockholder’s election to redeem is irrevocable once the business combination is approved.

There is a nominal cost associated with the above-referenced tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The Transfer Agent will typically charge a tendering broker a fee and it is in the broker’s discretion whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming stockholder. However, this fee would be incurred regardless of whether or not we require stockholders seeking to exercise redemption rights to tender their shares, as the need to deliver shares is a requirement to exercising redemption rights, regardless of the timing of when delivery must be effectuated.

24

Q:     What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising my redemption rights?

A:     Whether the redemption is subject to U.S. federal income tax depends on the particular facts and circumstances. Please see the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations for Stockholders Exercising Redemption Rights.” We urge you to consult your tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of exercising your redemption rights.

Q:     If I am a Company warrant holder, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my public warrants?

A:     No. The holders of our public warrants have no redemption rights with respect to our public warrants.

Q:     Do I have appraisal rights if I object to the business combination?

A:     No. Appraisal rights are not available to holders of our common stock in connection with the business combination.

Q:     What happens to the funds held in the trust account upon consummation of the business combination?

A:     If the business combination is consummated, the funds held in the trust account will be used to: (i) pay the Cash Consideration; (ii) pay our stockholders who properly exercise their redemption rights; (iii) pay $7,000,000 in deferred underwriting commissions to the underwriters of our IPO, in connection with the business combination; and (iv) pay certain other fees, costs and expenses (including regulatory fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printer fees and other professional fees) that were incurred by the Company and other parties to the Merger Agreement in connection with the business combination.

Q:     What happens if the business combination is not consummated?

A:     There are certain circumstances under which the Merger Agreement may be terminated. Please see the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — The Merger Agreement” for information regarding the parties’ specific termination rights. If we do not consummate the business combination, we may continue to try to complete a business combination with a different target business until September 30, 2020. If we fail to complete an initial business combination by September 30, 2020, then we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem our public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, and less up to $50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish our public stockholders’ 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 the approval of our remaining stockholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including trust account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per unit in the IPO. Please see the section entitled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Company and the Business Combination.”

The Sponsor has waived any right to any liquidation distribution with respect to these shares and the underwriters of our IPO agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission held in the trust account if we do not complete our initial business combination within the required period. In addition, if we fail to complete a business combination by September 30, 2020, there will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our outstanding warrants, which will expire worthless.

Q:     When is the business combination expected to be completed?

A:     The Closing is expected to take place in early October, as soon as practicable after the special meeting, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions described below in the subsection entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — The Merger Agreement — Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination.” The Closing is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2020. The Merger Agreement may be terminated by the Company or Ittella Parent if the Closing has not occurred by September 30, 2020.

25

For a description of the conditions to the completion of the business combination, see the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — The Merger Agreement — Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination.”

Q:     What do I need to do now?

A:     You are urged to read carefully and consider the information contained in this proxy statement, including the Annexes, and to consider how the business combination will affect you as a stockholder.

You should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement and on the enclosed proxy card or, if you hold your shares through a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, on the voting instruction form provided by the broker, bank or nominee.

Q:     How do I vote?

A:     Voting of Shares by Holders of Record

If you were the record holder of shares of our common stock as of the record date, you may submit your proxy to vote such shares by mail or at the special meeting.

Voting by Mail

•        To submit your proxy by mail, simply mark your proxy card, date and sign it and return it in the postage-paid envelope. If you receive more than one proxy card, it is an indication that your shares are held in multiple accounts. Please sign and return all proxy cards to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

•        If you vote by mail, your proxy card must be received no later than [        ], 2020.

Please carefully consider the information contained in this proxy statement and, whether or not you plan to attend the special meeting, please vote by mail so that your shares will be voted in accordance with your wishes even if you later decide not to attend the special meeting.

Voting at the Special Meeting

We encourage you to vote by mail. If you attend the special meeting, you may also submit your vote at the special meeting via the special meeting website at http://[                ], in which case any votes that you previously submitted by mail will be superseded by the vote that you cast at the special meeting. If your proxy is properly completed and submitted, and if you do not revoke it prior to or at the special meeting, your shares will be voted at the special meeting in the manner set forth in proxy statement or as otherwise specified by you. Again, your paper proxy card must be received by mail no later than [        ], 2020.

Voting of Shares Held in Street Name

If your shares are held in an account at a broker, bank, or nominee (i.e., in “street name”), you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote the shares. Please follow the voting instructions provided by the broker, bank, or nominee. See the section entitled “Special Meeting of Stockholders — Voting Your Shares — Beneficial Owners” for more information.

Q:     What is the difference between a stockholder of record and a “street name” holder?

A:     If your shares are registered directly in your name with the Company’s Transfer Agent, you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares, and the proxy materials are being provided directly to you. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, then you are considered the beneficial owner of those shares, which are considered to be held in “street name.” The proxy materials are being provided to you by your broker, bank or other nominee who is considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares.

26

Q:    If my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker, bank or nominee automatically vote my shares for me?

A:     No. Under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares with respect to non-discretionary matters unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank, or nominee. We believe all of the proposals presented to the stockholders at this special meeting will be considered non-discretionary and, therefore, your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares without your instruction on any of the proposals presented at the special meeting. If you do not provide instructions with your proxy, your broker, bank, or other nominee may deliver a proxy card expressly indicating that it is NOT voting your shares; this indication that a broker, bank, or nominee is not voting your shares is referred to as a “broker non-vote.” Broker non-votes will be counted for the purposes of determining the existence of a quorum. A broker non-vote will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the condition precedent proposals and the Adjournment Proposal. A broker non-vote on any of the Advisory Charter Proposals and the Director Election Proposal will have no effect on the outcome of any such proposal. Your bank, broker, or other nominee can vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should instruct your broker to vote your shares in accordance with directions you provide.

Q:     What will happen if I abstain from voting or fail to vote at the special meeting?

A:     A stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the special meeting (which would include voting at the virtual special meeting) will not be counted towards the number of shares of common stock required to validly establish a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established. Each of the failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person (which would include voting at the virtual special meeting), an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote on any of the condition precedent proposals and the Adjournment Proposal will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” any such proposal. Each of the failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person (which would include voting at the virtual special meeting), an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote on any of the Advisory Charter Proposals and the Director Election Proposal will have no effect on the outcome of any such proposal.

Q:     What will happen if I sign and return my proxy card without indicating how I wish to vote?

A:     Signed and dated proxies received by us without an indication of how the stockholder intends to vote on a proposal will be voted “FOR” each proposal presented to the stockholders and “FOR” each of the director nominees. The proxyholders may use their discretion to vote on any other matters which properly come before the special meeting.

Q:     How can I vote my shares without attending the special meeting?

A:     If you are a stockholder of record of our common stock as of the close of business on the record date, you can vote by proxy by mail by following the instructions provided in the enclosed proxy card or at the special meeting. Please note that if you are a beneficial owner of our common stock, you may vote by submitting voting instructions to your broker, bank or nominee, or otherwise by following instructions provided by your broker, bank or nominee. Telephone and internet voting may be available to beneficial owners. Please refer to the vote instruction form provided by your broker, bank or nominee.

Q:     May I change my vote after I have returned my proxy card or voting instruction form?

A:     Yes. If you are a holder of record of our common stock as of the close of business on the record date, you can change or revoke your proxy before it is voted at the special meeting by:

•        delivering a signed written notice of revocation to our Secretary at Forum Merger II Corporation, 1615 South Congress Avenue, Suite 103, Delray Beach, Florida 33445, bearing a date later than the date of the proxy, stating that the proxy is revoked;

27

•        signing and delivering a new proxy, relating to the same shares and bearing a later date; or

•        attending and voting at the special meeting and voting, although attendance at the special meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy.

If you are a beneficial owner of our common stock as of the close of business on the record date, you must follow the instructions of your broker, bank or other nominee to revoke or change your voting instructions.

Q:     What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

A:     You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast your vote with respect to all of your shares.

Q:     Who will solicit and pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the special meeting?

A:     The Company will pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the special meeting. The Company has engaged Morrow to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the special meeting. The Company has agreed to pay Morrow a fee of $22,500, plus disbursements, and will reimburse Morrow for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and indemnify Morrow and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses. The Company will also reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of shares of common stock for their expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to beneficial owners of common stock and in obtaining voting instructions from those owners. Our directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies by telephone, by facsimile, by mail, on the Internet or in person. They will not be paid any additional amounts for soliciting proxies.

Q:     Who can help answer my questions?

A:     If you have questions about the proposals or if you need additional copies of this proxy statement or the enclosed proxy card you should contact:

Consideration to Ittella Parent Securityholders in the Business Combination

The aggregate consideration payable at the Closing to the Ittella Parent securityholders is the Closing Merger Consideration. The Closing is expected to take place in early October, as soon as practicable after the special meeting, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions in the Merger Agreement. The Closing Merger Consideration is required to comprise between $50,000,000 and $75,000,000 in cash, with the remainder of the Closing Merger Consideration comprising common stock, valued at $10.00 per share. The Holdback Shares are payable after the Closing to the Ittella Parent stockholders upon satisfaction of the following conditions within the first three years after the Closing: (i) if the trading price of common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 on any 20 trading days in any 30-day trading period, then 2,500,000 Holdback Shares will be released to the Ittella Parent stockholders, or (ii) if the trading price of common stock equals or exceeds $14.00 on any 20 trading days in any 30-day trading period, then 2,500,000 Holdback Shares will be released to the Ittella Parent stockholders. If a change in control occurs within the first three years after the Closing, all Holdback Shares not previously released will be released to the Ittella Parent stockholders. If the conditions to release of the Holdback Shares are not satisfied within the first three years of Closing, the Holdback Shares are forfeited. The Sponsor has agreed that, at the Closing, it will place 2,500,000 founder shares held by it into escrow. The vesting, release and forfeiture terms of the Sponsor Earnout Shares are the same as the vesting, release and forfeiture terms applicable to the Holdback Shares, with 50% of the Sponsor Earnout Shares vesting at each Share Price Trigger, and all Sponsor Earnout Shares released if a change of control occurs, in each case, within the first three years after the Closing. If the conditions to the release of any Sponsor Earnout Shares are not satisfied on or prior to the date that it is finally determined that the Ittella Parent stockholders are not entitled to or eligible to receive any further Holdback Releases as defined in, and pursuant to, the Merger Agreement, the Sponsor Earnout Shares will be forfeited by the Sponsor on that date. The Company and the Holder Representative have agreed that, at the Closing, the Company will place 100,000 shares of common stock into an adjustment escrow account. Following the date on which the Closing Merger Consideration is finally determined, all or a portion of the Adjustment Escrow Stock will either be released to the Ittella Parent stockholders or released to the Company in accordance with the adjustment mechanisms set forth in Section 3.5 of the Merger Agreement. For more information about the consideration to the Ittella Parent securityholders, please see the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal.”

32

Organizational Structure

The following diagram illustrates the ownership structure of the post-combination company immediately following the business combination:

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to the current charter, holders of public shares may elect to have their shares redeemed for cash at the applicable redemption price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the aggregate amount on deposit in the trust account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the business combination, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), by (ii) the total number of then-outstanding public shares. As of March 31, 2020, this would have amounted to approximately $10.36 per share.

You will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:

(i)     (a) hold public shares or (b) hold public shares through units and you elect to separate your units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares; and

(ii)    prior to [        ], Eastern time, on [              ], 2020, (a) submit a written request to the Transfer Agent that the Company redeem your public shares for cash and (b) deliver your public shares to the Transfer Agent, physically or electronically through DTC.

33

Holders of units must elect to separate the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. Any demand for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests and thereafter, with our consent, until the Closing.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of public shares, together with any of his, her or its affiliates or any other person with whom he, she or it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)-(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 15% of the shares of Class A common stock included in the units sold in our IPO without the prior consent of the Company.

If a holder exercises his, her or its redemption rights, then that holder will be exchanging his, her or its public shares for cash and will no longer own shares of the post-combination company. Such a holder will be entitled to receive cash for its public shares only if he, she or it properly demands redemption and delivers his, her or its shares (either physically or electronically) to our Transfer Agent in accordance with the procedures described herein. Please see the section entitled “Special Meeting of Stockholders — Redemption Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your shares for cash.

Founder shares will be converted into shares of common stock at the Closing on a one-for-one basis. For more information, please see the sections entitled “Summary of the Proxy Statement — Impact of the Business Combination on the Company’s Public Float” and “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”

If the actual facts are different than these assumptions, the percentage ownership retained by our public stockholders following the business combination will be different. The public warrants and private placement warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the business combination and will expire five years after the completion of the business combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. As described in “Summary Term Sheet” and elsewhere in this proxy statement, if the conditions to release of the Holdback Shares are not satisfied within the first three years of Closing, the Holdback Shares are forfeited. In addition, the Sponsor will place the Sponsor Earnout Shares into escrow (and subject those shares to the vesting conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement) and the Company will place 100,000 shares of common stock into an adjustment escrow account, as described above on pages 8-13. If the vesting conditions are not satisfied, then the Sponsor Earnout Shares will be forfeited and cancelled.

The issuance of 20% or more of our outstanding shares of common stock in connection with the Merger Agreement requires stockholder approval of the Nasdaq Proposal.

For more information, please see the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”

Board of Directors of the Company Following the Business Combination

Upon approval of the condition precedent proposals and consummation of the business combination, we will have a staggered board consisting of three classes, and our Board anticipates increasing its initial size from six directors to nine directors, with Class I directors having a term that expires at the next annual meeting of stockholders following the effectiveness of the proposed charter, Class II directors having a term that expires at the second annual meeting of stockholders following the effectiveness of the proposed charter and Class III directors having a term that expires at the third annual meeting of stockholders following the effectiveness of the proposed charter, or in each case until his or her successor is elected and qualified, or until their earlier resignation, removal or death. Pursuant to the terms of the Director Nomination Agreement, of the nine directors to be elected to our Board, six will be designated by Ittella Parent and three will be designated by the Sponsor.

The Advisory Charter Proposals

The Advisory Charter Proposals are being presented in accordance with SEC guidance and will be voted upon on an advisory basis, and are not binding on the Company. Upon the Closing and assuming the approval at the special meeting of the Charter Proposal, the current charter will be amended to reflect various differences between it and the proposed charter, including some that materially affect stockholder rights.

Please see the section entitled “Proposal No. 4 — The Advisory Charter Proposals” for more information.

Other Proposals

In addition, at the special meeting the stockholders of the Company will be asked to vote on:

•        A proposal to approve, for purposes of complying with applicable Nasdaq listing rules, the issuance of more than 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock in connection with the business combination;

•        A proposal to approve the Company’s proposed charter, substantially in the form attached to the accompanying proxy statement as Annex C, in connection with the business combination;

•        A proposal to approve the Incentive Plan, substantially in the form attached to this proxy statement as Annex E, including the authorization of the initial share reserve under the Incentive Plan;

•        A proposal to consider and vote upon a proposal to elect nine directors to serve staggered terms on the Board until immediately following the 2021, 2022 and 2023 annual meetings of our stockholders, as applicable, and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified; alternatively, in the event the condition precedent proposals, including the Business Combination Proposal and Charter Proposal, are not approved and our Board continues to have two classes of directors, to elect three directors to serve as Class II directors on the Board for a term of two years expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2022 or until each such director’s successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until each such director’s earlier death, resignation, retirement or removal; and

•        A proposal to approve the adjournment of the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the condition precedent proposals. The Adjournment Proposal will only be presented at the special meeting if there are not sufficient votes to approve the condition precedent proposals.

Please see the sections entitled “Proposal No. 2 — The Nasdaq Proposal,” “Proposal No. 3 — The Charter Proposal,” “Proposal No. 5 — The Incentive Plan Proposal,” “Proposal No. 6 — The Director Election Proposal” and “Proposal No. 7 — The Adjournment Proposal” for more information.

Date, Time and Place of Special Meeting

The special meeting will be a virtual meeting conducted exclusively via live webcast starting at 10:00 a.m., Eastern time, on [              ], 2020, or at such other date, time and place to which the meeting may be adjourned or postponed, to consider and vote upon the proposals. You may attend the special meeting online, vote, view the list of stockholders entitled to vote at the special meeting and submit your questions during the special meeting by visiting https://[                ] and entering your 12-digit control number, which is either included on the proxy card you received or obtained through Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. Because the special meeting is completely virtual and being conducted via live webcast, stockholders will not be able to attend the meeting in person.

Registering for the Special Meeting

Pre-registration at https://[                ] is recommended but is not required in order to attend.

Any stockholder wishing to attend the virtual meeting should register for the meeting by [        ], 2020. To register for the special meeting, please follow these instructions as applicable to the nature of your ownership of our common stock:

•        If your shares are registered in your name with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company and you wish to attend the online-only special meeting, go to https://[                ], enter the 12-digit control number included on your proxy card or notice of the meeting and click on the “Click here to preregister for the online meeting” link at the top of the page. Just prior to the start of the meeting you will need to log back into the meeting site using your control number. Pre-registration is recommended but is not required in order to attend.

•        Beneficial stockholders (those holding shares through a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other holder of record) who wish to attend the virtual meeting must obtain a legal proxy by contacting their account representative at the bank, broker, or other nominee that holds their shares and e-mail a copy (a legible photograph is sufficient) of their legal proxy to proxy@continentalstock.com. Beneficial stockholders who e-mail a valid legal proxy will be issued a 12-digit meeting control number that will allow them to register to attend and participate in the special meeting. After contacting Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a beneficial holder will receive an e-mail prior to the meeting with a link and instructions for entering the virtual meeting. Beneficial stockholders should contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company at least five business days prior to the meeting date in order to ensure access.

Voting Power; Record Date

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on [        ], 2020, the record date for the special meeting, will be entitled to vote at the special meeting. You are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock that you owned as of the close of business on the record date.

If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. On the record date, there were [            ] shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote, of which [            ] are shares of Class A common stock and 5,000,000 are shares of Class B common stock held by the Sponsor.

Accounting Treatment

The business combination will be accounted for as a reverse merger in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, the Company will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on Ittella Parent securityholders expecting to have a majority of the voting power of the post-combination company, Ittella Parent comprising the ongoing operations of the post-combination company, Ittella Parent comprising a majority of the governing body of the post-combination company, and Ittella Parent’s senior management comprising the senior management of the post-combination company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the business combination will be treated as the equivalent of Ittella Parent issuing stock for the net assets of the Company, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of the Company will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

36

Appraisal Rights

Appraisal rights are not available to our stockholders in connection with the business combination.

Proxy Solicitation

Proxies may be solicited by mail, telephone or in person. The Company has engaged Morrow to assist in the solicitation of proxies.

If a stockholder grants a proxy, he, she or it may still vote his, her or its shares at the special meeting or if he, she or it revokes its proxy before the special meeting. A stockholder may also change his, her or its vote by submitting a later-dated proxy, as described in the section entitled “Special Meeting of Stockholders — Revoking Your Proxy.”

Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination

In considering the recommendation of our Board to vote in favor of the business combination, stockholders should be aware that aside from their interests as stockholders, the Sponsor and certain of its affiliates and certain members of our Board and officers have interests in the business combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of our other stockholders. Our Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the business combination, and in recommending to our stockholders that they vote in favor of the proposals presented at the special meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal. Stockholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the business combination. Please see the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination” for additional information.

These interests include, among other things:

•        the fact that the Sponsor has agreed not to redeem any of the founder shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination;

•        the fact that the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for the founder shares and those securities will have a significantly higher value at the time of the business combination, which if unrestricted and freely tradable would be valued at approximately $[        ] based on the closing price of our Class A common stock on Nasdaq on [        ], 2020, but, given the restrictions on those shares, we believe those shares have less value;

•        the fact that the Sponsor has agreed to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to its founder shares if we fail to complete an initial business combination by September 30, 2020;

•        the fact that the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $5,550,000 for its 555,000 units, at a price of $10.00 per unit, with each unit consisting of one share of Class A common stock and one warrant exercisable to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share in a private placement, and that the private placement warrants will expire worthless if a business combination is not consummated by September 30, 2020;

•        the fact that if the trust account is liquidated, including if we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be jointly and severally liable to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced below $10.00 per public share, or such lesser per public share amount as is in the trust account on the liquidation date, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which we have discussed entering into an acquisition agreement or claims of any third party for services rendered or products sold to us, but only if the target business or vendor has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the trust account;

•        the anticipated appointment of our Co-Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Director, David Boris, as a director of the post-combination company;

•        the continued indemnification of our existing directors and officers and the continuation of our directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the business combination;

37

•        the fact that the Sponsor will place the Sponsor Earnout Shares into escrow and subject the Sponsor Earnout Shares to the vesting conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement;

•        the fact that the Sponsor and our officers and directors will lose their entire investment in us and will not be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses or repaid the Extension Note or Working Capital Loans, if any, if an initial business combination is not consummated by September 30, 2020; and

•        the fact that at the Closing we will enter into the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, which provides for registration rights to the Investors and their permitted transferees.

Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination

We were formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. The Board considered and evaluated several factors in evaluating and negotiating the business combination and the business combination agreements. For additional information relating to the Board’s evaluation of the transaction and the factors it considered in connection therewith, please see the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Our Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination.”

Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination

The respective obligations of the Company and Ittella Parent to consummate the business combination are subject to the satisfaction or written waiver by both the Company and Ittella Parent, of each of the following conditions, among others:

•        No governmental order, statute, rule or regulation enjoining or prohibiting the consummation of the business combination in force;

•        The approval of the condition precedent proposals at the special meeting; and

•        The approval by the Board of Ittella Parent, which was received on June 11, 2020.

The obligations of the Company to affect the business combination are subject to fulfillment, on or prior to the Closing Date, of certain conditions (any or all of which may be waived in writing by the Company), including, among others:

•        Ittella Parent must have performed as of or prior to the Closing each of the covenants to be performed as of or prior to the Closing under the Merger Agreement in all material respects;

•        From the date of the Merger Agreement until the Closing Date, there must not have occurred and be continuing any change, event or effect that, individually or when taken together with all other changes, events or effect, constitutes a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement); and

•        Ittella Parent must have delivered or caused to be delivered the Employment Agreements duly executed by each of Salvatore Galletti, Sarah Galletti, Stephanie Dieckmann, and Giuseppe Bardari.

The obligations of Ittella Parent to effect the business combination are subject to fulfillment, on or prior to the Closing Date, of certain conditions (any or all of which may be waived in writing by Ittella Parent), including, among others:

•        Each of the covenants of the Company and Merger Sub to be performed as of or prior to the Closing must have been performed in all material respects;

•        Since the date of the Merger Agreement until the Closing Date, there must not have occurred and be continuing any change, event or effect that, individually or when taken together with all other changes, events or effect, constitutes a Parent Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement); and

•        The Company must have delivered or caused to be delivered to Ittella Parent each of the Employment Agreements, duly executed by the Company.

Please see the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — The Merger Agreement — Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination” for additional information.

38

Regulatory Matters

Under the HSR Act and the rules that have been promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), certain transactions may not be consummated unless information has been furnished to the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (“Antitrust Division”) and the FTC and certain waiting period requirements have been satisfied.

At any time before or after consummation of the business combination, the applicable competition authorities could take such action under applicable antitrust laws as each deems necessary or desirable in the public interest, including seeking to enjoin the consummation of the business combination. Private parties may also seek to take legal action under the antitrust laws under certain circumstances. We cannot assure you that the Antitrust Division, the FTC, any state attorney general, or any other government authority will not attempt to challenge the business combination on antitrust grounds, and, if such a challenge is made, we cannot assure you as to its result. Neither the Company nor Ittella Parent is aware of any material regulatory approvals or actions that are required for completion of the business combination other than the expiration or early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act. The business combination was granted early termination of the HSR waiting period on July 7, 2020. It is presently contemplated that if any such additional regulatory approvals or actions are required, those approvals or actions will be sought. There can be no assurance, however, that any additional approvals or actions will be obtained.

Quorum and Required Vote for Proposals for the Special Meeting

A quorum of our stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the special meeting if a majority of the common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the special meeting is represented in person or by proxy (which would include presence at the virtual special meeting).

Approval of the condition precedent proposals and the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Approval of the Advisory Charter Proposals, each of which is a non-binding vote, requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the votes cast by our stockholders present in person (which would include presence at the virtual special meeting) or represented by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote thereon.

The election of directors is decided by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person (which would include presence at the virtual special meeting) or represented by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. This means that each of director nominees will be elected if they receive more affirmative votes than any other nominee for the same position. Stockholders may not cumulate their votes with respect to the election of directors.

A stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the special meeting (which would include voting at the virtual special meeting) will not be counted towards the number of shares of common stock required to validly establish a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established. Each of the failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person (which would include voting at the virtual special meeting), an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote on any of the condition precedent proposals and the Adjournment Proposal will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” any such proposal. Each of the failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person (which would include voting at the virtual special meeting), an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote on any of the Advisory Charter Proposals and the Director Election Proposal will have no effect on the outcome of any such proposal.

The Closing is conditioned on, among other things, the approval of the condition precedent proposals at the special meeting. The election of nine director nominees in the Director Election Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the condition precedent proposals, including the Charter Proposal. The Advisory Charter Proposals are not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in the accompanying proxy statement. It is important for you to note that if the condition precedent proposals do not receive the requisite vote for approval, we will not consummate the business combination. If we do not consummate the business combination and fail to complete an initial business combination by September 30, 2020, we will be required to dissolve and liquidate our trust account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to our public stockholders.

39

Recommendation to our Stockholders

Our Board believes that each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the Advisory Charter Proposals, the Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal to be presented at the special meeting is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders and unanimously recommends that its stockholders vote “FOR” each of the proposals and “FOR” each of the director nominees.

When you consider the recommendation of our Board in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor and certain of its affiliates and certain members of our Board and officers have interests in the business combination that are different from or in addition to (or which may conflict with) your interests as a stockholder. Stockholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the business combination. Please see the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination” for additional information.

Risk Factors

In evaluating the business combination and the proposals to be considered and voted on at the special meeting, you should carefully review and consider the risk factors set forth under the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 43 of this proxy statement. The occurrence of one or more of the events or circumstances described in that section, alone or in combination with other events or circumstances, may have a material adverse effect on (i) the ability of the Company and Ittella Parent to complete the business combination, and (ii) the business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations of the post-business combination company following consummation of the business combination.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully review and consider the following risk factors and the other information contained in this proxy statement, including the financial statements and notes to the financial statements included herein, in evaluating the business combination and the proposals to be voted on at the special meeting. The following risk factors apply to the business and operations of Ittella Parent and its consolidated subsidiaries and will also apply to the business and operations of the post-combination company following the completion of the business combination. The occurrence of one or more of the events or circumstances described in these risk factors, alone or in combination with other events or circumstances, may adversely affect the ability to complete or realize the anticipated benefits of the business combination, and may have a material adverse effect on the business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations of the post-combination company. You should carefully consider the following risk factors in addition to the other information included in this proxy statement, including matters addressed in the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” We may face additional risks and uncertainties that are not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, which may also impair our business or financial condition. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes to the financial statements included herein.

Risk Factors Relating to the Post-Combination Company

Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references in “Risk Factors Relating to the Post-Combination Company” to the “Company” refers to the current business and operations of Ittella Parent and its consolidated subsidiaries before and after giving effect to the business combination.

Risks Related to the Post-Combination Company’s Business and Industry

Failure to retain the Company’s senior management may adversely affect operations.

The Company’s success is substantially dependent on the continued service of certain members of senior management, including Salvatore “Sam” Galletti, the Company’s founder, President and Chief Executive Officer, Stephanie Dieckmann, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and Sarah Galletti, the “Tattooed Chef” and the Company’s Creative Director. These executives have been primarily responsible for determining the strategic direction of the Company’s business and for executing its growth strategy and are integral to the Company’s brand, culture, product development and the reputation it enjoys with suppliers, co-manufacturers, distributors, customers and consumers. In particular, Ms. Galletti is responsible for leading the Company’s branding initiatives, creative strategy, and product development, and there is no other current employee who can lead these functions if Ms. Galletti is unable to provide services to the Company. In addition, Mr. Galletti and Ms. Galletti are the primary sales and marketing contacts for the Company’s customers. The loss of the services of any of these executives could adversely affect the Company’s business, relationship with key customers and suppliers, branding, creative strategies, and prospects, as it may not be able to find suitable individuals to replace them on a timely basis, if at all. In addition, any such departure could be viewed in a negative light by investors and analysts, which may cause the price of any publicly traded securities of the Company to decline. The Company does not currently carry key-person life insurance for any of its management team.

Food safety and food-borne illness incidents or advertising or product mislabeling may adversely affect the Company’s business by exposing the Company to lawsuits, product recalls or regulatory enforcement actions, increasing operating costs and reducing demand for product offerings.

Selling food for human consumption involves inherent legal and other risks, and there is increasing governmental scrutiny of and public awareness regarding food safety. The Company’s internal processes, training and quality control and food safety procedures and compliance may not be effective in preventing contamination of food products that could lead to food-borne illness incidents (such as e. coli, salmonella or listeria). Unexpected side effects, illness, injury or death related to allergens, food-borne illnesses or other food safety incidents caused by products the Company sells or manufactures, or involving its suppliers, could result in the discontinuance of sales of these products or its relationships with its suppliers, increased operating costs, regulatory enforcement actions or harm to the Company’s reputation. If consumers lose confidence in the safety and quality of the Company’s products or plant-based products generally, even in the absence of a recall or a product liability case, its business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. Shipment of adulterated or mislabeled products, even if

43

inadvertent, can result in criminal or civil liability. Such incidents could also expose the Company to product liability, negligence or other lawsuits, including consumer class action lawsuits. Any claims brought against the Company may exceed or be outside the scope of the Company’s existing or future insurance policy coverage or limits. Any judgment against the Company that is more than its policy limits or not covered by its policies or not subject to insurance would have to be paid from the Company’s cash reserves, which would reduce its capital resources.

The occurrence of food-borne illnesses or other food safety incidents, whether real or perceived, could also adversely affect the price and availability of affected ingredients, resulting in higher costs, disruptions in supply and a reduction in sales. Furthermore, any instances of food contamination or regulatory noncompliance, whether or not caused by the Company, could compel the Company, its suppliers and the Company’s customers, depending on the circumstances, to conduct a recall in accordance with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or Italian Ministry of Health (the “MOH”) regulations, comparable state and locality laws, or international laws. If the Company is found to be out of compliance with respect to food safety regulations, an enforcement authority could issue a warning letter and/or institute enforcement actions that could result in additional costs, substantial delays in production or even a temporary shutdown in manufacturing and product sales while the non-conformances are rectified. Also, the Company may have to recall product or otherwise remove product from the market, and temporarily cease its manufacture and distribution, which would increase its costs and reduce its revenues. Food recalls could result in significant losses due to their costs, the destruction of product inventory, lost sales due to the unavailability of the product for a period of time, potential loss of existing distributors or customers and a potential negative impact on the Company’s ability to attract new customers due to negative consumer experiences or because of an adverse impact on its brand and reputation. The costs of a recall could exceed or be outside the scope of the Company’s existing or future insurance policy coverage or limits. Any product liability claims resulting from the failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations would be expensive to defend and could result in substantial damage awards against the Company or harm its reputation. Any of these events would negatively impact the Company’s revenues and costs of operations.

In addition, food companies have been subject to targeted, large-scale tampering as well as to opportunistic, individual product tampering, and the Company, like any food company, could be a target for product tampering. Forms of tampering could include the introduction of foreign material, chemical contaminants and pathological organisms into consumer products as well as product substitution. Recently issued FDA regulations require companies like the Company to analyze, prepare and implement mitigation strategies specifically to address tampering (i.e., intentional adulteration) designed to inflict widespread public health harm. If it does not adequately address the possibility, or any actual instance, of intentional adulteration, the Company could face possible seizure or recall of its products and the imposition of civil or criminal sanctions, which could adversely affect its business, financial condition and operating results.

Further, if the Company is forced, or voluntarily elects, to recall certain products, the public perception of the quality of its food products may be diminished. The Company may also be adversely affected by news reports or other negative publicity, regardless of their accuracy, regarding other aspects of its business, such as public health concerns, illness, safety, security breaches of confidential consumer or employee information, employee related claims relating to alleged employment discrimination, health care and benefit issues or government or industry findings concerning its retailers, distributors, suppliers or others across the food industry supply chain.

If the Company fails to retain existing customers, derive revenue from existing customers consistent with historical performance or acquire new customers cost-effectively, the Company’s business could be adversely affected. The Company is subject to substantial customer concentration.

The Company’s success, and its ability to increase revenues and operate profitably, depends in part on the Company’s ability to retain and keep existing customers engaged so that they continue to purchase products from the Company, and to acquire new customers cost-effectively. The Company intends to continue to expand its number of retail customers as part of its growth strategy. If it fails to retain existing customers and to attract and retain new customers, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Further, if customers do not perceive the Company’s product offerings to be of sufficient value, quality, or innovation, or if the Company fails to offer innovative and relevant product offerings, it may not be able to attract or retain customers or engage existing customers so that they continue to purchase products from the Company or increase the amount of products purchased from the Company. The Company may lose current customers to competitors if the competitors offer superior products to those of the Company or if the Company is unable to satisfy its customers’ orders

44

in a timely manner. The loss of any large customer or the reduction of purchasing levels or the cancellation of business from such customers could adversely impact the Company’s business. Furthermore, as retailers consolidate, they may reduce the number of branded products they offer in order to accommodate private label products and generate more competitive terms from branded suppliers competing for limited retailer shelf space. While the Company produces private label products and might benefit from a shift towards private label products, its long-term strategy is to grow sales of branded products. Consequently, financial results may fluctuate significantly from period to period based on the actions of one or more significant retailers. A retailer may take actions that affect the Company for reasons that it cannot always anticipate or control, such as the retailer’s financial condition, changes in its business strategy or operations, the introduction of competing products or the perceived quality of the Company’s products.

The Company is subject to substantial customer concentration risk, with five customers accounting for approximately 95% of its revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019. The five customers individually accounted for approximately 35%, 29%, 11%, 10% and 10% of the Company’s 2019 total revenues, respectively. In addition, three customers accounted for 81% of the Company’s accounts receivable for the year ended December 31, 2019. These three customers individually accounted for approximately 57%, 13%, and 11% of the Company’s 2019 total accounts receivables. Accordingly, any factor adversely affecting sales generally in these customers (such as competitive pressures, declining sales, or store closings, among others), or any reduction or elimination by these customers of carrying the Company’s products, could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company may not be able to obtain raw materials on a timely basis or in quantities sufficient to meet the demand for its products.

The Company’s financial performance depends in large part on its ability to purchase raw materials in sufficient quantities and of acceptable quality at competitive prices. There can be no assurance on the availability of continued supply or stable pricing of raw materials. Any of the Company’s suppliers could discontinue or seek to alter their relationship with the Company. While the Company does have commitments with many of its suppliers of raw materials, these commitments do not extend past the growing season and do not insulate the Company’s committed crops from inclement weather, insects, disease, or other harvesting problems.

Events that adversely affect the Company’s suppliers could impair its ability to obtain raw material inventory in the quantities or of a quality the Company desires. The Company currently sources most of its raw materials from Italy. Though the Company is not dependent on any single Italian grower for its supply of a certain crop, events generally affecting these growers could adversely affect the Company’s business. Such events include problems with the Company’s suppliers’ businesses, finances, labor relations, ability to import raw materials, product quality issues, costs, production, insurance and reputation, as well as disease outbreaks or pandemics (such as the recent coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic), acts of war, insect infestations, terrorism, natural disasters, fires, earthquakes, weather, flooding or other catastrophic occurrences. The Company continuously seeks alternative sources of raw materials, but it may not be successful in diversifying the suppliers of raw materials it uses in its products.

If the Company needs to replace an existing supplier, there can be no assurance that supplies of raw materials will be available when required on acceptable terms, or at all, or that a new supplier would allocate sufficient capacity to the Company in order to meet requirements, fill orders in a timely manner or meet quality standards. If the Company is unable to manage its supply chain effectively and ensure that its products are available to meet consumer demand, operating costs could increase and sales and profit margins could decrease.

The Company currently utilizes third-party suppliers for select products, including its cauliflower pizza crust. Loss of these suppliers could harm the Company’s business and impede growth.

The crust component of one of the Company’s signature products, cauliflower crust cheese pizza, is supplied by third parties. The termination of a supplier relationship may leave the Company with periods during which it has limited or no ability to manufacture certain products. An interruption in, or the loss of operations at, any of these manufacturing facilities, which may be caused by work stoppages, production disruptions, product quality issues, disease outbreaks or pandemics (such as the recent coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic), acts of war, terrorism, fire, earthquakes, weather, flooding or other natural disasters, could delay, postpone or reduce production of some of the Company’s products, which could adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition until the interruption is resolved or an alternate source of production is secured.

45

The Company believes there are a limited number of competent, high-quality suppliers in the industry that meet its quality and control standards, and as its seeks to obtain additional or alternative supply arrangements in the future, or alternatives to bring this manufacturing capability in-house, there can be no assurance that it would be able to do so on satisfactory terms, in a timely manner, or at all. Therefore, the loss of one or more suppliers, any disruption or delay at a supplier or any failure to identify and engage a supplier for products could delay, postpone or reduce production of products, which could adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

If the Company is unable to attract, train and retain employees, it may not be able to grow or successfully operate its business.

The Company’s success depends in part upon its ability to attract, train and retain a sufficient number of employees who understand and appreciate the Company’s culture and can represent its brand effectively and establish credibility with its business partners and customers. The Company believes a critical component of its success has been its company culture and long-standing core values. The Company has invested substantial time and resources in building its team. Furthermore, as sales grow and customers are acquired, the Company will need to add employees to serve in the production, finance and accounting, and sales and marketing functions, as the Company cannot rely on Mr. Galletti and Ms. Galletti to continue to be the primary sales and marketing contacts for the Company’s customers or on Ms. Dieckmann to continue to oversee the Company’s operations without assistance. If the Company is unable to hire and retain employees capable of meeting its business needs and expectations, or if it fails to preserve its company culture among a larger number of employees dispersed in various geographic regions as its continues to grow and develop the infrastructure associated with being a public company, its business and brand image may be impaired. Any failure to meet staffing needs or any material increase in turnover rates of employees may adversely affect the Company business, results of operations and financial condition.

In order to meet demand, the Company relies on temporary employees procured through staffing agencies. In the future, the Company may be unable to attract and retain employees with the required skills, whether or not through staffing agencies, which could impact the Company’s ability to expand operations or meet customer demand.

The Company may be unable to sustain its revenue growth rate and, as its costs increase, generate sufficient revenue to sustain profitability over the long term.

From 2018 to 2019, the Company’s revenue grew from $47.3 million to $84.9 million, which represents a year over year growth rate of 79.5%. The Company expects that, in the future, its revenue growth rate will decline, and it may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to sustain profitability. The Company also anticipates that its operating expenses and capital expenditures will increase substantially in the foreseeable future as it invests to increase its customer base, expand its marketing channels, invest in distribution and manufacturing facilities, pursue expansion, hire additional employees, and enhance its technology and production capabilities. In addition, the Company will incur additional costs as a public company. These expansion efforts may prove more expensive than anticipated, and may not succeed in increasing revenues and margins sufficiently to offset the anticipated higher expenses. The Company incurs significant expenses in developing its innovative products, securing an adequate supply of raw materials, obtaining and storing ingredients and other products and marketing the products it offers. In addition, many expenses, including some of the costs associated with existing and any future manufacturing facilities, are fixed. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to sustain profitability, and may incur significant losses in the foreseeable future.

If the Company fails to expand manufacturing and production capacity effectively, forecast demand for products accurately, or respond to forecast changes quickly, its business and operating results and the Company’s brand reputation could be harmed.

As demand increases, the Company will need to expand its operations, supply, and manufacturing capabilities. However, there is a risk that the Company will be unable to scale production processes effectively and manage its supply chain requirements effectively. The Company must accurately forecast demand for products and inventory needs in order to ensure it has adequate available manufacturing capacity and to ensure it is effectively managing inventory.

46

The Company’s forecasts are based on multiple assumptions that may cause estimates to be inaccurate and affect its ability to obtain adequate manufacturing capacity and adequate inventory supply in order to meet the demand for products, which could prevent the Company from meeting increased customer demand and harm its brand and business.

In addition, if the Company overestimates demand and overbuilds its capacity, it may have significantly underutilized assets and will experience reduced gross margins, and will have excess inventory that it may be required to write-down. If the Company does not accurately align its manufacturing capabilities and inventory supply with demand, if it experiences disruptions or delays in its supply chain, or if it cannot obtain raw materials of sufficient quantity and quality at prices that are consistent with its current pricing and in a timely manner, its business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

The Company may not be able to protect its intellectual property adequately, which may harm the value of its brand.

The Company believes that its intellectual property has substantial value and has contributed significantly to the success of its business. The Company’s trademarks, including “Tattooed Chef” and “People Who Give a Crop”, are valuable assets that reinforce the Company’s brand and consumers’ favorable perception of its products. The Company also relies on unpatented proprietary expertise, recipes and formulations and trade secret protection to develop and maintain its competitive position. Its continued success depends, to a significant degree, upon the Company’s ability to protect and preserve its intellectual property, including the Company’s trademarks, trade dress, and trade secrets. The Company relies on confidentiality agreements and trademark and trade secret law to protect its intellectual property rights. As of the date of this proxy statement, the Company does not have any issued patents and has forgone pursuing any patent applications. As a result, the Company cannot rely on any protection provided under applicable patent laws.

The Company’s confidentiality agreements with its suppliers who use the Company’s formulations to manufacture some products generally require that all information made known to them be kept strictly confidential. Nevertheless, trade secrets are difficult to protect. Although the Company attempts to protect its trade secrets, its confidentiality agreements may not effectively prevent disclosure of proprietary information and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure of its proprietary information or any reverse engineering. In addition, the Company cannot guarantee that it has entered into confidentiality agreements with all suppliers addressing each of its recipes. From time to time, the Company shares product concepts with customers who are not under confidentiality obligations. In addition, others may independently discover its trade secrets, in which case the Company would not be able to assert trade secret rights against these parties.

The Company cannot provide assurances that the steps it has taken to protect its intellectual property rights are adequate, that its intellectual property rights can be successfully defended and asserted in the future, that third parties will not infringe upon or misappropriate any such rights, or that it owns the rights to all improvements or modifications of recipes it has provided to suppliers. In addition, its trademark rights and related registrations may be challenged in the future and could be canceled or narrowed. Failure to protect the Company’s trademark rights could prevent it in the future from challenging third parties who use names and logos similar to the Company’s trademarks, which may in turn cause consumer confusion or negatively affect consumers’ perception of its brand and products. In addition, if the Company does not keep its trade secrets confidential, others may produce products with its recipes or formulations. Sophisticated suppliers and food companies can replicate or reverse engineer the Company’s recipes fairly easily. Moreover, intellectual property disputes and proceedings and infringement claims may result in a significant distraction for management and significant expense, which may not be recoverable regardless of whether or not the Company is successful. These proceedings may be protracted with no certainty of success, and an adverse outcome could subject the Company to liabilities, force it to cease use of certain trademarks or other intellectual property or force the Company to enter into licenses with others. Any one of these occurrences may adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

The COVID-19 pandemic could adversely impact the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to constitute a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” on January 30, 2020 and finally characterized it as a “pandemic” on March 11, 2020. The outbreak has reached more than 160 countries, resulting in the implementation of significant governmental measures, including lockdowns, closures, quarantines and travel bans, intended to control the spread of the virus.

47

The COVID-19 outbreak has already caused severe global disruptions. In response to the virus, Italy (where the majority of the Company’s vegetables are sourced) implemented a lockdown, which lasted from March 9, 2020 to May 18, 2020. Representatives of Forum Merger II Corporation were unable to visit the Company’s facilities in Italy and California during this time. Spain and France also implemented lockdown measures, and other countries and local governments have enacted similar policies. As of July 1, 2020, European Union (“EU”) nations have begun admitting residents from certain countries but, as of this date, residents of the United States are not allowed to enter EU nations. As a result, the Company’s U.S. management team has not travelled to Italy in 2020, as they would have been expected to do in the absence of COVID-19.

As of June 15, 2020, the United States has temporarily restricted travel by foreign nationals into the country from a number of places, including China, Europe, and Brazil. Companies are also taking precautions, such as requiring employees to work remotely, imposing travel restrictions and temporarily closing businesses. These restrictions, and future prevention and mitigation measures, are likely to have an adverse impact on global economic conditions and consumer confidence and spending, which could adversely affect the supply of, as well as the demand for, the Company’s products. Uncertainties regarding the economic impact of COVID-19 is likely to result in sustained market turmoil, which could also negatively impact the Company’s business, financial condition and cash flows.

The Company operates production space in Paramount, California and Prossedi, Italy. As of August 11, 2020, the Company is aware of one employee who has tested positive for COVID-19. This employee did not exhibit serious symptoms and the Company does not believe that this employee contracted COVID-19 at a Company facility. This employee, along with nine other production employees who worked in the same production room and three quality assurance employees who spent a significant amount of time in the same production room, were asked to self-quarantine for two weeks.

While the Company is taking steps to comply with applicable COVID-19 guidelines (such as requiring all employees to wear masks and practice additional disinfecting measures while in its facilities), some aspects of the Company’s operations make strict compliance impossible. For example, it is not always feasible to require employees to stay at least six feet apart at all times in its facilities. As a result, there may be additional positive cases of COVID-19 among the Company’s employees. If the Company is forced to scale back hours of production or close these facilities in response to the pandemic, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected.

Furthermore, COVID-19 may impact customer and consumer demand. Governmental organizations, such as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state and local governments, have recommended and/or imposed increased community-based interventions, including event cancellations, social distancing measures, and restrictions on gatherings of more than ten people. In the future, government authorities may impose additional restrictions on people’s movement, public gatherings and businesses. These measures could result in fewer people making trips to grocery and club stores, which could negatively affect operating results.     

The extent of COVID-19’s effect on the Company’s operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration, spread and intensity of the outbreak, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict considering the rapidly evolving landscape. As a result, it is not currently possible to ascertain the overall impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business. However, if the pandemic continues to evolve into a severe worldwide health crisis, the disease could adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

The Company does not have contracts with customers that require the purchase of a minimum amount of its products.

None of the Company’s customers provide the Company with firm, long-term or short-term volume purchase commitments. As a result, the Company could have periods during which it has no or limited orders for its products, but will continue to have fixed costs. The Company may not be able to find new customers in a timely manner if it experiences such of no or limited purchase orders. Periods of no or limited purchase orders for the Company’s products, particularly from one or more of its five largest customers, could adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

48

The Company may not be able to compete successfully in its highly competitive market.

The Company operates in a highly competitive market. Numerous brands and products compete for limited retailer shelf space and consumers. In this market, competition is based on, among other things, taste, ingredients, texture, ease of integration into the consumer diet, nutritional claims, convenience, brand recognition and loyalty, product variety, product packaging and package design, shelf space, reputation and perception, price, advertising, intellectual property protection on products, and consumer tastes and preferences.

The Company competes with conventional frozen food companies such as Nestle, Conagra Brands, B&G Foods and Amy’s Kitchen who may have substantially greater financial and other resources than the Company. They may also have lower operational costs, and as a result may be able to offer products at lower costs than the Company’s plant-based products. This could cause the Company to lower prices, resulting in lower profitability or, in the alternative, cause the Company to lose market share if it fails to lower prices. Views towards plant-based products may also change, which may result in lower consumption of these products. If other foods or other plant-based products become more popular, the Company may be unable to compete effectively. Generally, the food industry is dominated by multinational corporations with substantially greater resources and operations than the Company. The Company cannot be certain that it will successfully compete with larger competitors that have greater financial, sales, and technical resources. Conventional food companies may acquire competitors or launch their own plant-based products, and they may be able to use their resources and scale to respond to competitive pressures and changes in consumer preferences by introducing new products, reducing prices, or increasing promotional activities, among other things. Retailers also may market competitive products under their own private labels, which are generally sold at lower prices and may compete with some of the Company’s products. Competitive pressures or other factors could cause the Company to lose market share, which may require it to lower prices, increase marketing and advertising expenditures, or increase the use of discounting or promotional campaigns, each of which would adversely affect the Company’s margins and could result in a decrease in the Company’s operating results and profitability.

The Company may not be able to implement its growth strategy successfully.

The Company’s future success depends on its ability to implement its growth strategy of expanding supply and distribution, improving placement of its products, attracting new consumers to its brand and introducing new products and product extensions, and expanding into new geographic markets. The Company’s ability to implement this growth strategy depends, among other things, on the Company’s ability to:

•        manage relationships with various suppliers, brokers, customers and other third parties, and expend time and effort to integrate new suppliers, distributors and customers into the Company’s fulfillment operations;

•        continue to compete in the retail channel;

•        increase the brand recognition of Tattooed Chef;

•        expand and maintain brand loyalty;

•        develop new product lines and extensions; and

•        expand into new geographic markets.

The Company may not be able to do any of the foregoing successfully. The Company’s sales and operating results will be adversely affected if it fails to implement its growth strategy or if it invests resources in a growth strategy that ultimately proves unsuccessful.

The Company’s growth may be limited if it is unable to expand its distribution channels and secure additional retail space for its products.

The Company’s results will depend on its ability to drive revenue growth, in part, by expanding the distribution channels for its products and the number of products carried by each retailer. The Company’s ability to do so, however, may be limited by an inability to secure additional retail space for its products. Retail space for frozen products is limited and is subject to competitive and other pressures, and there can be no assurance that retail stores will provide sufficient space to enable the Company to meet its growth objectives.

49

The Company may require additional financing to achieve its goals, and a failure to obtain this necessary capital when needed on acceptable terms, or at all, may force the Company to delay, limit, reduce or terminate its product manufacturing and development, and other operations.

The Company believes that it will continue to expend substantial resources for the foreseeable future as it expands into additional markets it may choose to pursue. These expenditures are expected to include costs associated with research and development, the acquisition or expansion of manufacturing and supply capabilities, as well as marketing and selling existing and new products. In addition, other unanticipated costs may arise.

The Company’s operating plan may change because of factors currently unknown to the Company, and the Company may need to seek additional funds sooner than planned, including through public equity or debt financings or other sources, such as strategic collaborations. Such financing may result in dilution to stockholders, imposition of debt covenants and repayment obligations, or other restrictions that may adversely affect the Company’s business. In addition, the Company may seek additional capital due to favorable market conditions or strategic considerations even if the Company believes it has sufficient funds for the Company’s current or future operating plans.

The Company’s future capital requirements depend on many factors, including:

•        the number and characteristics of any additional products or manufacturing processes it develops or acquires to serve new or existing markets;

•        the expenses associated with the Company’s marketing initiatives;

•        investment in manufacturing to expand manufacturing and production capacity;

•        the costs required to fund domestic and international growth, including acquisitions;

•        the scope, progress, results and costs of researching and developing future products or improvements to existing products or manufacturing processes;

•        any lawsuits related to the Company’s products or commenced against the Company;

•        the expenses needed to attract and retain skilled personnel;

•        the costs associated with being a public company; and

•        the timing, receipt and amount of sales of future products.

Additional funds may not be available when the Company needs them, on terms that are acceptable to the Company, or at all. If adequate funds are not available on a timely basis, the Company may be required to:

•        delay, limit, reduce or terminate the Company’s manufacturing, research and development activities or growth and expansion plans; and

•        delay, limit, reduce or terminate the expansion of sales and marketing capabilities or other activities that may be necessary to generate revenue and increase profitability.

The “Tattooed Chef” brand has limited awareness among the general public.

The Company has not conducted a dedicated and significant marketing campaign to educate consumers on the Tattooed Chef brand and it still has limited awareness among the general public. In addition, Tattooed Chef products are available in a limited number of retail stores in the United States.

The Company will need to dedicate significant resources in order to effectively plan, coordinate, and execute a marketing campaign and to add additional sales and marketing staff. Substantial advertising and promotional expenditures may be required to improve the Company’s brand’s market position or to introduce new products to the market. An increase in the Company’s marketing and advertising efforts may not maintain its current reputation, or lead to an increase in brand awareness.

Further, the Company competes against other large, well-capitalized food companies who have significantly more resources than the Company does. Therefore, the Company may have limited success, or none at all, in increasing brand awareness and favorability around the Tattooed Chef brand.

50

If the Company fails to develop and maintain the Tattooed Chef brand, its business could suffer.

The Company believes its future growth depends on its ability to maintain and grow the value of the Tattooed Chef brand. Maintaining, promoting and positioning this brand and its reputation will depend on, among other factors, the success of the Company’s plant-based product offerings, food safety, quality assurance, marketing and merchandising efforts, and the Company’s ability to provide a consistent, high-quality customer experience. Any negative publicity, regardless of its accuracy, could adversely affect the Company’s business. Brand value is based on perceptions of subjective qualities, and any incident that erodes the loyalty of customers or suppliers, including adverse publicity, product recall or a governmental investigation or litigation, could significantly reduce the value of the Tattooed Chef brand and significantly damage the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company’s products are primarily manufactured in its Paramount, California and Prossedi, Italy facilities and any damage or disruption at these facilities may harm the Company’s business.

A significant portion of the Company’s operations are located in its Paramount, California, and Prossedi, Italy, facilities. A natural disaster, fire, power interruption, work stoppage, outbreaks of pandemics or contagious diseases (such as the recent coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic) or other calamity at one or both of these facilities would significantly disrupt the Company’s ability to deliver products and operate its business. If any material amount of machinery or inventory were damaged, the Company may be unable to meet its contractual obligations and to predict when, if at all, it could replace or repair such machinery, which could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results.

In addition, the Company has not developed any contingency plans to address disruptions such as natural disaster, fire, power interruption, work stoppage, outbreaks of pandemics or contagious diseases, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic, or other calamity in its operations. Please see “The COVID-19 pandemic could adversely impact the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition” for a discussion of Company’s current response to COVID-19. If such a disruption occurs, the Company’s operations and results of operations could be harmed.

Failure to introduce new products or successfully improve existing products may adversely affect the Company’s ability to continue to grow.

A key element of the Company’s growth strategy depends on its ability to develop and market new products and improvements to its existing products that meet its standards for quality and appeal to continuously changing consumer preferences. The success of the Company’s innovation and product development efforts is affected by its ability to anticipate changes in consumer preferences, accurately predict taste preferences and purchasing habits of consumers in new geographic markets, the technical capability of its innovation staff in developing and testing product prototypes (including complying with applicable governmental regulations), and the success of its management and sales and marketing teams in introducing and marketing new products. Failure to develop and market new products that appeal to consumers may lead to a decrease in growth, sales and profitability. Furthermore, if the Company is unsuccessful in meeting its objectives with respect to new or improved products, the Company’s business could be harmed.

If the Company fails to manage its future growth effectively, its business could be adversely affected.

The Company has grown rapidly and anticipates further growth. For example, its revenues increased from $47.3 million in 2019 to $84.9 million in 2019. The Company’s full-time employee count at July 31, 2020 (including employees hired through staffing agencies) is approximately 400, compared to approximately 100 at December 31, 2017. This growth has placed significant demands on the Company’s management, financial, operational, technological and other resources. The anticipated growth and expansion of the Company’s business and its product offerings will continue to place significant demands on its management and operations teams and require significant additional resources to meet the Company’s needs, which may not be available in a cost-effective manner, or at all. If the Company does not effectively manage its growth, it may not be able to execute on its business plan, respond to competitive pressures, take advantage of market opportunities, satisfy customer requirements or maintain high-quality product offerings, any of which could harm its business, brand, results of operations and financial condition.

Ingredient and packaging costs are volatile and may rise significantly, which may negatively impact the profitability of the Company’s business.

The Company purchases large quantities of raw materials outside of the United States, including from Italy and Brazil. In addition, the Company purchases and uses significant quantities of cardboard, film, and plastic to package its products.

Costs of ingredients and packaging are volatile and can fluctuate due to conditions that are difficult to predict, including global competition for resources, weather conditions, consumer demand and changes in governmental trade and agricultural programs. Volatility in the prices of raw materials and other supplies the Company purchases could increase its cost of sales and reduce its profitability. Moreover, the Company may not be able to implement price increases for its products to cover any increased costs, and any price increases it does implement may result in lower sales volumes. If the Company is not successful in managing its ingredient and packaging costs, if it is unable to increase its prices to cover increased costs or if these price increases reduce sales volumes, then these increases in costs could adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

The Company’s operations in Italy may expose the Company to the risk of fluctuation in currency exchange rates and rates of foreign inflation, which could adversely affect its results of operations.

The Company currently incurs some costs and expenses in Euros and expects in the future to incur additional expenses in this currency. As a result, the Company’s revenues and results of operations are subject to foreign exchange fluctuations, which it may not be able to manage successfully. There can be no assurance that the Euro will not significantly appreciate or depreciate against the U.S. dollar in the future. The Company bears the risk that the rate of inflation in the foreign countries where it incurs costs and expenses or the decline in value of the U.S. dollar compared to these foreign currencies will increase its costs as expressed in U.S. dollars. Future measures by foreign governments to control inflation, including interest rate adjustments, intervention in the foreign exchange market and changes to the fixed value of their currencies, may trigger increases in inflation. The Company may not be able to adjust the prices of its products to offset the effects of inflation on its cost structure, which could increase its costs and reduce its net operating margins. While the Company attempts to mitigate these risks through hedging or other mechanisms, if the Company does not successfully manage these risks its revenues and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Consumer preferences for the Company’s products are difficult to predict and may change, and, if it is unable to respond quickly to new trends, the Company’s business may be adversely affected.

The Company’s business is focused on the development, manufacturing, marketing, and distribution of a portfolio of plant-based products. Consumer demand could change based on a number of possible factors, including dietary habits and nutritional values, concerns regarding the health effects of ingredients, and shifts in preference for various product attributes. If consumer demand for the Company’s products decreased, the Company’s business and financial condition would suffer. In addition, sales of plant-based products are subject to evolving consumer preferences to which the Company may not be able to accurately predict or respond. Consumer trends that the Company believes favor sales of its products could change based on a number of possible factors, including economic factors and social trends. Views towards healthy eating and plant-based products are trendy in nature, with constantly changing consumer perceptions.

The Company’s success depends, in part, on its ability to anticipate the tastes and dietary habits of consumers and other consumer trends and to offer products that appeal to their needs and preferences on a timely and affordable basis. A change in consumer discretionary spending, due to economic downturn or other reasons, may also adversely affect the Company’s sales and its business, financial condition and results of operations. A significant shift in consumer demand away from the Company’s products could reduce sales or market share and the perception of the Tattooed Chef brand, which would harm the Company’s business and financial condition.

The Company’s revenue growth rate may not be indicative of future performance and may slow over time.

Although the Company has grown rapidly over the last several years, its revenue growth rate may slow over time for a number of reasons, including increasing competition, market saturation, slowing demand for its offerings, increasing regulatory costs (including costs to comply with the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act (the “Supply Chain Act”)) and challenges, the impact of COVID-19, and failure to capitalize on growth opportunities.

52

The Company’s revenues and earnings may fluctuate as a result of promotional activities.

The Company offers sales discounts and promotions through various programs to customers which may occasionally result in reduced revenues or margins. These programs include in-store demonstrations, product discounts, temporary on shelf price reductions, off-invoice discounts, sales samples, retailer promotions, product coupons, and other trade activities it may implement in the future, depending on the customer. The Company anticipates needing to offer more trade and promotion discounting in order to grow the Tattooed Chef brand, primarily within the conventional retail channel. The Company anticipates that, at times, these promotional activities may adversely affect the Company’s revenues and results of operations.

Fluctuations in results of operations for third and fourth quarters may impact, and may have a disproportionate effect on, overall financial condition and results of operations.

The Company’s business is subject to seasonal fluctuations that may have a disproportionate effect on the Company’s results of operations. The Company has historically experienced moderate revenue seasonality, with the third and fourth fiscal quarters generating higher sale amounts due to product demonstration schedules, new stock keeping unit (“SKU”) promotions and retailers allotting additional freezer space for holiday items. Any factors that harm the Company’s third and fourth quarter operating results, including disruptions in its supply chain, adverse weather or unfavorable economic conditions, may have a disproportionate effect on its results of operations for the entire year.

Historical results are not indicative of future results.

Historical quarter-to-quarter and period-over-period comparisons of the Company’s sales and operating results are not necessarily indicative of future quarter-to-quarter and period-over-period results. You should not rely on the results of a single quarter or period as an indication of the Company’s annual results or its future performance.

Litigation or legal proceedings could expose the Company to significant liabilities and negatively impact its reputation or business.

From time to time, the Company may be party to various claims and litigation proceedings. The Company evaluates these claims and litigation proceedings to assess the likelihood of unfavorable outcomes and to estimate, if possible, the amount of potential losses. Based on these assessments and estimates, the Company may establish reserves, as appropriate. These assessments and estimates are based on the information available to management at the time and involve a significant amount of management judgment. Actual outcomes or losses may differ materially from the Company’s assessments and estimates.

An indirect subsidiary of the Company, Ittella Italy, is involved in certain litigation related to the death of an independent contractor who fell off of the roof of Ittella Italy’s premises while performing pest control services. The decedent’s heirs initiated an action to recover certain pecuniary and non-pecuniary damages. Under Italian law, the president of an Italian company is automatically criminally charged if a workplace death occurs on site. Ittella Italy has engaged local counsel, and while local counsel does not believe it is probable that Ittella Italy or its president will be found culpable, Ittella Italy cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the litigation. Ittella Italy believes any required payment could be covered by an existing insurance policy, however it is not possible to determine the amount at which the insurance company will reimburse Ittella Italy or whether any reimbursement will be received at all.

Generally, while the Company maintains insurance for certain potential liabilities, such insurance does not cover all types and amounts of potential liabilities and is subject to self-insured retentions, various exclusions as well as caps on amounts recoverable. Even if the Company believes a claim is covered by insurance, insurers may dispute the Company’s entitlement to recovery for a variety of potential reasons, which may affect the timing and, if the insurers prevail, the amount of the Company’s recovery.

Legal claims, government investigations or other regulatory enforcement actions could subject the Company to civil and criminal penalties.

The Company operates in a highly regulated environment with constantly evolving legal and regulatory frameworks. Consequently, it is subject to heightened risk of legal claims, government investigations or other regulatory enforcement actions. Although it has implemented policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with existing laws and regulations, there can be no assurance that the Company’s employees, temporary workers,

53

contractors or agents will not violate its policies and procedures. Moreover, a failure to maintain effective control processes could lead to violations, unintentional or otherwise, of laws and regulations. Legal claims, government investigations or regulatory enforcement actions arising out of failure or alleged failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could subject the Company to civil and criminal penalties that could adversely affect its product sales, reputation, financial condition and operating results. In addition, the costs and other effects of defending potential and pending litigation and administrative actions against the Company may be difficult to determine and could adversely affect its financial condition and operating results.

Failure by the Company’s transportation providers to deliver products on time, or at all, could result in lost sales.

The Company currently relies upon numerous third-party transportation providers for all product shipments. The Company’s utilization of delivery services for shipments is subject to risks, including increases in fuel prices, which would increase shipping costs, employee strikes, disease outbreaks or pandemics (such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic), and inclement weather, which may impact the ability of providers to provide delivery services that adequately meet the Company’s shipping needs, if at all. If the Company needs to source alternative transportation methods, the Company may not be able to obtain terms as favorable as those it receives from the third-party transportation providers that it currently uses, which in turn would increase costs and thereby adversely affect operating results.

The Company relies on independent certification for a number of its products.

The Company relies on independent third-party certifications, such as certifications of its products as “USDA organic,” “BRC,” “gluten free,” “Non-GMO” or “kosher,” to differentiate its products from others. The Company must comply with the requirements of independent organizations or certification authorities in order to label its products with these certifications, and there can be no assurance that the Company will continue to meet these requirements. The loss of any independent certifications could adversely affect the Company’s business.

The Company relies on information technology systems and any inadequacy, failure, interruption or security breaches of those systems may harm the Company’s ability to operate its business effectively.

The Company is dependent on various information technology systems, including, but not limited to, networks, applications and outsourced services in connection with the operation of its business. A failure of the Company’s information technology systems to perform as it anticipates could disrupt its business and result in transaction errors, processing inefficiencies and loss of sales, causing its business to suffer. In addition, the Company’s information technology systems may be vulnerable to damage or interruption from circumstances beyond its control, including fire, natural disasters, systems failures, viruses and security breaches. Any such damage or interruption could adversely affect the Company’s business.

The Company’s geographic focus makes it particularly vulnerable to economic and other events and trends in the United States.

The Company operates mainly in the United States and sells its products primarily in the United States and, therefore, is particularly susceptible to adverse regulations, economic climate, consumer trends, market fluctuations, and other adverse events in the United States. The concentration of its businesses in the United States could present challenges and may increase the likelihood that an adverse event in the United States would adversely affect its product sales, financial condition and operating results.

The Company’s business could be negatively impacted by changes in the U.S. political environment.

This year will see presidential and congressional elections in the United States and there is uncertainty with respect to, among others, legislation, regulation and government policy at the federal, state and local levels. Any of these changes could significantly impact the Company’s business as well as the markets in which it competes. Specific legislative and regulatory proposals discussed during this election year that might adversely impact the Company include, but are not limited to, changes to existing trade agreements, import and export regulations, tariffs, travel restrictions, customs duties, income tax regulations and the federal tax code, public company reporting requirements, environmental regulation, antitrust enforcement and regulation related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

54

For instance, in October 2019, the United States won a $7.5 billion arbitration award from the World Trade Organization (“WTO”), resulting from nearly 15 years of litigation related to EU subsidies to Airbus that broke WTO rules. As a result, the U.S. imposed additional tariffs of 25% on more than 150 products imported from EU countries, effective October 18, 2019, even though the Office of the United States Trade Representative (the “USTR”) had the authority to apply a 100% tariff on affected products. In June 2020, the USTR announced that it would be conducting a review of this action and will be considering modifying the list of products subject to additional duties. An increase in these tariffs (resulting in tariffs of up to potentially 100%) may impact the Company and its competitors similarly but if the Company is forced to increase its prices in order to mitigate the impact of the tariff increase, its products may become less desirable to consumers. If the Company does not increase its prices in response to an increase in tariffs, this could result in lower profitability.

To the extent changes in the political environment have a negative impact on the Company or on its markets, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

A cybersecurity incident, other technology disruptions or failure to comply with laws and regulations relating to privacy and the protection of data relating to individuals could negatively impact the Company’s business, reputation and relationships with customers.

The Company uses computers in substantially all aspects of business operations, including using mobile devices, social networking and other online activities to connect with its employees, suppliers, distributors, customers and consumers. This use, as is present with nearly all companies, gives rise to cybersecurity risks, including security breaches, espionage, system disruption, theft and inadvertent release of information. The Company’s business involves the storage and transmission of numerous classes of sensitive and/or confidential information and intellectual property, including customers’ and suppliers’ information, private information about employees and financial and strategic information about it and its business partners. Further, as the Company pursues new initiatives that improve its operations and cost structure, potentially including acquisitions, it may also expand its information technologies, resulting in a larger technological presence and corresponding exposure to cybersecurity risk. If it fails to assess and identify cybersecurity risks associated with new initiatives or acquisitions, it may become increasingly vulnerable to such risks. Additionally, while the Company has implemented measures to prevent security breaches and cyber incidents, these preventative measures and incident response efforts may not be entirely effective. The theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation, or release of sensitive and/or confidential information or intellectual property, or interference with the Company’s information technology systems or the technology systems of third parties on which it relies, could result in business disruption, negative publicity, brand damage, violation of privacy laws, loss of customers, potential liability, and competitive disadvantage, all of which could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

In addition, the Company is subject to laws, rules and regulations in North America and the European Union relating to the collection, use and security of personal information and data. These data privacy laws, regulations and other obligations may require the Company to change its business practices and may negatively impact its ability to expand its business and pursue business opportunities. The Company may incur significant expenses to comply with the laws, regulations and other obligations that apply to it. Additionally, the privacy- and data protection-related laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Company are subject to significant change. Several jurisdictions have passed new laws and regulations in this area, and other jurisdictions are considering imposing additional restrictions. For example, the Company’s operations are subject to the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation, which imposes data privacy and security requirements on companies doing business in the European Union, including substantial penalties for non-compliance. In addition, the California Consumer Privacy Act (the “CCPA”), which went into effect on January 1, 2020, imposes similar requirements on companies handling data of California residents and creates a new and potentially severe statutory damages framework for violations of the CCPA and businesses that fail to implement reasonable security procedures and practices to prevent data breaches. Privacy- and data protection-related laws and regulations also may be interpreted and enforced inconsistently over time and from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Any actual or perceived inability to comply with applicable privacy or data protection laws, regulations, or other obligations could result in significant cost and liability, litigation or governmental investigations, damage the Company’s reputation, and adversely affect the Company’s business.

55

If the Company experiences the loss of one or more of its food brokers that cannot be replaced in a timely manner, results of operations may be adversely affected.

The Company utilizes food brokers to assist in establishing and maintaining relationships with certain key customers, which represent the bulk of the Company’s revenue. The loss of any one of these food brokers could negatively impact the customer relationship resulting in its business, results of operation and financial condition being adversely affected.

Identifying new brokers can be time-consuming and any resulting delay may be disruptive and costly to the Company’s business. While the Company believes it may be able to continue to supply these key customers without broker relationships, it believes that doing so could consume a significant amount of management’s time and attention. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to establish and maintain successful relationships with new brokers. The Company may have to incur significant expenses to attract and maintain brokers.

Disruptions in the worldwide economy may adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

The global economy can be negatively impacted by a variety of factors such as the spread or fear of spread of contagious diseases (such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic) in locations where the Company’s products are sold, man-made or natural disasters, actual or threatened war, terrorist activity, political unrest, civil strife and other geopolitical uncertainty. In addition, Italian operations could be affected by criminal violence, primarily due to the activities of organized crime that Italy has experienced and may continue to experience. These adverse and uncertain economic conditions may impact distributor, retailer, foodservice and consumer demand for the Company’s products. In addition, the Company’s ability to manage normal commercial relationships with its suppliers, distributors, customers and consumers and creditors may suffer. Consumers may shift purchases to lower-priced or other perceived value offerings during economic downturns as a result of various factors, including job losses, inflation, higher taxes, reduced access to credit, change in federal economic policy and international trade disputes. A decrease in consumer discretionary spending may also result in consumers reducing the frequency and amount spent on food prepared away from home. Distributors and customers may become more conservative in response to these conditions and seek to reduce their inventories. The Company’s results of operations depend upon, among other things, its ability to maintain and increase sales volume with the Company’s existing customers, its ability to attract new consumers, the financial condition of consumers and the Company’s ability to provide products that appeal to consumers at the right price. Decreases in demand for products without a corresponding decrease in costs would put downward pressure on margins and would negatively impact financial results. Prolonged unfavorable economic conditions or uncertainty may adversely affect the Company’s sales and profitability and may result in consumers making long-lasting changes to their discretionary spending behavior on a more permanent basis.

Future acquisitions or investments could disrupt the Company’s business and harm its financial condition.

In the future, the Company may pursue acquisitions of companies or of production capacity or make investments that it believes will help it achieve its strategic objectives. The Company has not completed an acquisition prior to the date of the business combination and the Company’s management team lacks significant experience negotiating acquisitions of other companies and integrating acquired companies. The Company may not be able to find suitable acquisition candidates, and even if it does, it may not be able to complete acquisitions on favorable terms, if at all. If it does complete acquisitions, it may not ultimately achieve its goals or realize anticipated benefits. Pursuing acquisitions and any integration process related to acquisitions will require significant time and resources and could divert management time and focus from operation of the Company’s then-existing business, and it may not be able to manage the process successfully. Any acquisitions the Company completes could be viewed negatively by customers or consumers. An acquisition, investment or business relationship may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures, including disrupting ongoing operations and subjecting the Company to additional liabilities, increasing expenses, and adversely impacting the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results. Moreover, the Company may be exposed to unknown liabilities related to the acquired company or product, and the anticipated benefits of any acquisition, investment or business relationship may not be realized if, for example, it fails to successfully integrate an acquisition into the Company. To pay for any such acquisitions, the Company would have to use cash, incur debt, or issue equity securities, each of which may affect its financial condition or value. If the Company incurs more debt it would result in increased fixed obligations and could also subject it to covenants

56

or other restrictions that would impede it ability to manage its operations. The Company’s acquisition strategy could require significant management attention, disrupt its business and harm its business, financial condition and results of operations.

A major earthquake or other natural disaster could disrupt the Company’s business.

The Company’s corporate offices, research and development functions, and certain manufacturing and processing functions are located in Paramount, California, in Southern California, and another manufacturing facility is located in Prossedi, Italy. The impact of a major natural disasters in these areas on the Company’s facilities and overall operations is difficult to predict, but a natural disaster could disrupt the Company’s business. The Company’s insurance may not adequately cover losses and expenses in the event of such a natural disaster. As a result, natural disasters could lead to substantial losses.

Climate change may negatively affect the Company’s business and operations.

There is concern that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere may adversely impact global temperatures, weather patterns and the frequency and severity of extreme weather and natural disasters. If climate change negatively affects agricultural productivity, the Company may be subject to decreased availability or less favorable pricing for certain commodities that are necessary for its products, such as cauliflower, zucchini, and carrots, among others. Due to climate change, the Company may also be subjected to decreased availability of water, deteriorated quality of water or less favorable pricing for water, which could adversely impact manufacturing operations.

The United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union may negatively affect global economic conditions, financial markets and the Company’s business.

Following a national referendum and enactment of legislation by the government of the United Kingdom, the United Kingdom formally withdrew from the European Union on January 31, 2020, and entered into a transition period during which it will continue its ongoing and complex negotiations with the European Union relating to the future trading relationship between the parties. Significant political and economic uncertainty remains about whether the terms of the relationship will differ materially from the terms before withdrawal, as well as about the possibility that a so-called “no deal” separation will occur if negotiations are not completed by the end of the transition period.

These developments, or the perception that any of them could occur, have had and may continue to adversely affect global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, and may significantly reduce global market liquidity, restrict the ability of key market participants to operate in certain financial markets, restrict the Company’s access to capital, or negatively impact the financial conditions in Italy, where a significant amount of the Company’s raw materials are sourced. Any of these factors could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company relies on a single supplier for liquid nitrogen.

The Company relies on a sole supplier for liquid nitrogen, which is used for cold storage. The agreement with this supplier provides for up to 120% of the Company’s monthly requirements of liquid nitrogen and does not expire until 2025. The Company also believes it can obtain liquid nitrogen from an alternate supplier on commercially reasonable terms. Nonetheless, there is no guarantee that the Company’s supply of liquid nitrogen will not be disrupted due to various risks, including increases in fuel prices, employee strikes and inclement weather, or disruptions in the supplier’s operations.

Regulatory Risks

The Company’s operations are subject to FDA governmental regulation, the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and other foreign, federal, state and local regulation, and there is no assurance that the Company will be in compliance with all regulations.

The Company’s operations are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA, and other foreign, federal, state and local authorities. Specifically, for products manufactured or sold in the United States, the Company is subject to the requirements of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and regulations promulgated thereunder by the FDA. This

57

comprehensive regulatory program governs, among other things, the manufacturing, composition and ingredients, packaging, labeling and safety of food. Under this program, the FDA requires that facilities that manufacture food products comply with a range of requirements, including hazard analysis and preventive controls regulations, current good manufacturing practices, or cGMPs, and supplier verification requirements. The Company’s processing facilities, as well as those of its suppliers, are subject to periodic inspection by foreign, federal, state and local authorities. The Company does not control the manufacturing processes of, and relies upon, suppliers for compliance with cGMPs for the manufacturing of some products by its suppliers. If the Company or its suppliers cannot successfully manufacture products that conform to the Company’s specifications and the strict regulatory requirements of the FDA or other regulators, the Company or its suppliers may be subject to adverse inspectional findings or enforcement actions, which could impact the Company’s ability to market its products, could result in its suppliers’ inability to continue manufacturing for it, or could result in a recall of its product that has already been distributed. In addition, the Company relies upon its suppliers to maintain adequate quality control, quality assurance and qualified personnel. If the FDA or a comparable state, local or foreign regulatory authority determines that the Company or its suppliers have not complied with the applicable regulatory requirements, the Company’s business may be impacted. The FTC and other authorities regulate how the Company markets and advertises its products, and the Company could be the target of claims relating to alleged false or deceptive advertising under federal, state, and foreign laws and regulations. Changes in these laws or regulations or the introduction of new laws or regulations could increase the costs of doing business for the Company or its customers or suppliers or restrict the Company’s actions, causing its operating results to be adversely affected.

In Italy, food safety is regulated by specific legislation and compliance by the MOH, with administrative authority further delegated to ASLs. The MOH is organized into 12 directorates-general and the directorate-general and monitors, among others, the health and safety of food production and marketing, nutrition labeling, and food additives. While the ASLs administer compliance of the food safety laws through, among other things, inspections, the MOH may also conduct inspections under the purview of the relevant directorate-general. If products manufactured in Italy do not conform to local requirements, production in the Company’s Italy facility could be suspended until this facility is brought into compliance.

In addition, the Company anticipates that it will soon be subject to the Supply Chain Act, which requires every retail seller and manufacturer doing business in California and having annual worldwide gross receipts that exceed $100,000,000 to disclose its efforts to eradicate slavery and human trafficking from its direct supply chain for tangible goods offered for sale.

Failure by the Company or its suppliers to comply with applicable laws and regulations or maintain permits, licenses or registrations relating to the Company’s or its suppliers’ operations could subject the Company to civil remedies or penalties, including fines, injunctions, recalls or seizures, warning letters, restrictions on the marketing or manufacturing of products, or refusals to permit the import or export of products, as well as potential criminal sanctions, which could result in increased operating costs resulting in an adverse effect on the Company’s operating results and business.

The Company is subject to international regulations that could adversely affect its business and results of operations.

The Company is subject to extensive regulations internationally where it manufactures, distributes and/or sells products. A significant portion of the Company’s products are manufactured in its facility in Italy. The Company’s products are subject to numerous food safety and other laws and regulations relating to the sourcing, manufacturing, composition and ingredients, storing, labeling, marketing, advertising and distribution of these products. In addition, enforcement of existing laws and regulations, changes in legal requirements and/or evolving interpretations of existing regulatory requirements may result in increased compliance costs and create other obligations, financial or otherwise, that could adversely affect its business, financial condition or operating results. In addition, with expanding international operations, the Company could be adversely affected by violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or FCPA, and similar worldwide anti-bribery laws, which generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to non-U.S. officials or other third parties for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. While its policies mandate compliance with these anti-bribery laws, the Company’s internal control policies and procedures may not protect the Company from reckless or criminal acts committed by its employees, contractors or agents. Violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt the Company’s business and adversely affect its operations, cash flows and financial condition.

58

Changes in existing laws or regulations, or the adoption of new laws or regulations may increase costs and otherwise adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

The manufacture and marketing of food products is highly regulated. The Company and its suppliers are subject to a variety of laws and regulations. These laws and regulations apply to many aspects of the Company’s business, including the manufacture, composition and ingredients, packaging, labeling, distribution, advertising, sale, quality and safety of products, as well as the health and safety of employees and the protection of the environment.

In the United States, the Company is subject to regulation by various government agencies, including the FDA, Federal Trade Commission, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, laws related to product labeling and advertising and marketing, and the Environmental Protection Agency, as well as the requirements of various state and local agencies, including, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health and California’s Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (“Proposition 65”). The Company is also regulated outside the United States by various international regulatory bodies. In addition, the Company is subject to certain third-party private standards, including Global Food Safety Initiative (“GFSI”) related certifications such as British Retail Consortium standards. The Company could incur costs, including fines, penalties and third-party claims, because of any violations of, or liabilities under, such requirements, including any competitor or consumer challenges relating to compliance with such requirements.

The regulatory environment in which the Company operates could change significantly and adversely in the future. Any change in manufacturing, labeling or packaging requirements for its products may lead to an increase in costs or interruptions in production, either of which could adversely affect the Company’s operations and financial condition. New or revised government laws and regulations could result in additional compliance costs and, in the event of non-compliance, civil remedies, including fines, injunctions, withdrawals, recalls or seizures and confiscations, as well as potential criminal sanctions, any of which may adversely affect its business, results of operations and financial condition.

Failure by suppliers to comply with food safety, environmental or other laws and regulations, or with the specifications and requirements of the Company’s products, may disrupt the Company’s supply of products and adversely affect its business.

If the Company’s suppliers fail to comply with food safety, environmental or other laws and regulations, or face allegations of non-compliance, their operations may be disrupted. Additionally, the Company’s suppliers are required to maintain the quality of the Company’s products and to comply with the Company’s product specifications, and these suppliers must supply ingredients that meet quality standards. In the event of actual or alleged non-compliance, the Company’s supply of raw materials or finished inventory could be disrupted or its costs could increase, which would adversely affect its business, results of operations and financial condition. The failure of any supplier to produce products that conform to the Company’s standards could adversely affect its reputation in the marketplace and result in product recalls, product liability claims and economic loss. Additionally, actions the Company may take to mitigate the impact of any disruption or potential disruption in the supply of raw materials or finished inventory, including increasing inventory in anticipation of a potential supply or production interruption, may adversely affect its business, results of operations and financial condition.

Good manufacturing practice standards and food safety compliance metrics are complex, highly subjective and selectively enforced.

The federal regulatory scheme governing food products establishes guideposts and objectives for complying with legal requirements rather than providing clear direction on when particular standards apply or how they must be met. For example, FDA regulations referred to as Hazard Analysis and Risk Based Preventive Controls for Human Food require that the Company evaluates food safety hazards inherent to its specific products and operations. The Company must then implement “preventive controls” in cases where it determines that qualified food safety personnel would recommend that the Company do so. Determining what constitutes a food safety hazard, or what a qualified food safety expert might recommend to prevent such a hazard, requires evaluating a variety of situational factors. This analysis is necessarily subjective, and a government regulator may find the Company’s analysis or conclusions inadequate. Similarly, the standard of “good manufacturing practice” to which the Company is held in its food production operations relies on a hypothesis regarding what individuals and organizations qualified in food manufacturing and food safety would find to be appropriate practices in the context of its operations. Government regulators may disagree with the Company’s analyses and decisions regarding the good manufacturing practices appropriate for its operations.

59

Decisions made or processes adopted by the Company in producing its products are subject to after the fact review by government authorities, sometimes years after the fact. Similarly, governmental agencies and personnel within those agencies may alter, clarify or even reverse previous interpretations of compliance requirements and the circumstances under which they will institute formal enforcement activity. It is not always possible to accurately predict regulators’ responses to actual or alleged food production deficiencies due to the large degree of discretion afforded regulators. The Company may be vulnerable to civil or criminal enforcement action by government regulators if they disagree with its analyses, conclusions, actions or practices. This could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results.

Risks Related to Becoming a Public Company

The Company has not been managed as a public company, and its current resources may not be sufficient to fulfill its public company obligations.

Following the completion of the business combination, the Company will be subject to various regulatory requirements, including those of the SEC and Nasdaq. These requirements include record keeping, financial reporting and corporate governance rules and regulations. The Company’s current management team does not have experience in managing a public company. The Company has not historically had the resources typically found in a public company. The Company’s internal infrastructure may not be adequate to support its increased reporting obligations, and it may be unable to hire, train or retain necessary staff and may be reliant on engaging outside consultants or professionals to overcome the Company’s lack of experience or employees. The Company’s business could be adversely affected if its internal infrastructure is inadequate, if it is unable to engage outside consultants or if it is otherwise unable to fulfill public company obligations.

The Company will incur significantly increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and its management will be required to devote substantial time to compliance efforts.

The Company will incur significant legal, accounting, insurance and other expenses as a result of being a public company. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), as well as related rules implemented by the SEC, have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. In addition, rules that the SEC is implementing or is required to implement pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act are expected to require additional change. The Company expects that compliance with these and other similar laws, rules and regulations, including compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, will substantially increase its expenses, including legal and accounting costs, and make some activities more time-consuming and costly. The Company also expects these laws, rules and regulations to make it more expensive for it to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and it may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage, which may make it more difficult for the Company to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on the Board or as officers. Although the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) may, for a limited period of time, somewhat lessen the cost of complying with these additional regulatory and other requirements, the Company nonetheless expects a substantial increase in legal, accounting, insurance and certain other expenses in the future, which will negatively impact its results of operations and financial condition.

The Company has identified material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting and may not be able to establish appropriate internal controls in a timely manner. Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could lead to misstatements in the Company’s financial reporting and adversely affect its business.

As a private company, the Company was not required to document and test its internal controls over financial reporting nor was its management required to certify the effectiveness of internal controls and its auditors were not required to opine on the effectiveness of their internal control over financial reporting. Ensuring that the Company has adequate internal financial and accounting controls and procedures in place to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis is a costly and time-consuming effort. The rapid growth of the Company’s operations has created a need for additional resources within the accounting and finance functions due to the increasing need to produce timely financial information and to ensure the level of segregation of duties customary for a U.S. public company. The Company has identified a number of material weaknesses in its internal financial and accounting controls and

60

procedures, including an insufficient complement of resources with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge, experience and training commensurate with our structure and financial reporting requirements and the need to implement an enterprise resource planning information management system to provide for greater depth and breadth of functionality and effectively manage our business data, communications, supply chain, order entry and fulfillment, inventory and warehouse management and other business processes.

The Company has identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement in the Company’s annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In connection with the audit of Ittella Parent’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting. The material weaknesses identified were as follows: (i) Ittella Parent did not design or maintain an effective control environment commensurate with its financial reporting requirements due to lack of a sufficient number of accounting professionals with the appropriate level of experience and training; (ii) Ittella Parent did not design and maintain formal accounting policies, procedures and controls to achieve complete, accurate and timely financial accounting, reporting and disclosures, and monitoring controls maintained at the corporate level were not at a sufficient level of precision to provide for the appropriate level of oversight of activities related to Ittella Parent’s internal control over financial reporting; (iii) Ittella Parent did not implement and maintain appropriate information technology general controls, including controls over data center and network operations, system software acquisition, change and maintenance, program changes, access security and application system acquisition, development, and maintenance; (iv) Ittella Parent did not design and maintain effective controls over segregation of duties with respect to the preparation and review of account reconciliations as well as creating and posting manual journal entries; and (v) Ittella Parent did not design and maintain formal accounting policies, processes and controls to analyze, account for and disclose complex transactions.

Even after establishing internal controls, the Company’s management does not expect that its internal controls ever will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. No evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company will have been detected.

The Company needs to implement an Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system. Significant additional costs, cost overruns and delays in connection with the implementation of an ERP system may adversely affect results of operations.

The Company does not have a current ERP system and is in the process of implementing a company-wide ERP system. This is a lengthy and expensive process that will result in a diversion of resources from other operations. Any disruptions, delays or deficiencies in the design and/or implementation of the new ERP system, particularly any disruptions, delays or deficiencies that impact operations, could adversely affect the Company’s ability to run and manage its business effectively.

The implementation of an ERP system has and will continue to involve substantial expenditures on system hardware and software, as well as design, development and implementation activities. There can be no assurance that other cost overruns relating to the ERP system will not occur. The Company’s business and results of operations may be adversely affected if its experience operating problems, additional costs, or cost overruns during the ERP implementation process.

Risks Related to the Company and the Business Combination

The Sponsor has agreed to vote in favor of the business combination, regardless of how our public stockholders vote.

The Sponsor owns shares representing approximately 21.65% of our outstanding shares of common stock and has agreed to vote its shares in favor of an initial business combination. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that if we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination, the agreement by our initial stockholders to vote in favor of our initial business combination will increase the likelihood that we will receive the requisite stockholder approval for the initial business combination.

61

The Sponsor, certain members of our Board and our officers have interests in the business combination that are different from or are in addition to other stockholders in recommending that stockholders vote in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal and approval of the other proposals described in this proxy statement.

When considering our Board’s recommendation that our stockholders vote in favor of the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, our stockholders should be aware that our directors and have interests in the business combination that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of our stockholders. These interests include:

•        the fact that the Sponsor has agreed not to redeem any of the founder shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination;

•        the fact that the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for the founder shares and these shares will have a significantly higher value at the time of the business combination, which if unrestricted and freely tradable would be valued at approximately $[ ] based on the closing price of our Class A common stock on Nasdaq on [        ], 2020, but, given the restrictions on these shares, we believe these shares have less value;

•        the fact that the Sponsor has agreed to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to its founder shares if we fail to complete an initial business combination by September 30, 2020;

•        the fact that the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $5,550,000 for its 555,000 private placement units, and if a business combination is not consummated by September 30, 2020, the proceeds from the sale of the private placement units will be used to fund the redemption of public shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the private placement units, private placement shares and private placement warrants will be worthless;

•        the fact that if the trust account is liquidated, including if we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be jointly and severally liable to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced below $10.00 per public share, or such lesser per public share amount as is in the trust account on the liquidation date, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which we have discussed entering into an acquisition agreement or claims of any third party for services rendered or products sold to us, but only if the target business or vendor has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the trust account;

•        the anticipated appointment of our Co-Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Director, David Boris, as a director of the post-combination company;

•        the continued indemnification of our existing directors and officers and the continuation of our directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the business combination;

•        the fact that the Sponsor will place the Sponsor Earnout Shares into escrow and subject the Sponsor Earnout Shares to the vesting conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement;

•        the fact that the Sponsor and our officers and directors will lose their entire investment in us and will not be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses or repaid the Extension Note or Working Capital Loans, if any, if an initial business combination is not consummated by September 30, 2020; and

•        the fact that at the Closing we will enter into the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, which provides for registration rights to the Investors and their permitted transferees.

The Sponsor holds a significant number of shares of our common stock. They will lose their entire investment in us if a business combination is not completed.

The Sponsor beneficially owns 21.65% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares, including 5,000,000 founder shares. The founder shares will be worthless if we do not complete a business combination by September 30, 2020. In addition, the Sponsor holds an aggregate of 555,000 private placement units (consisting of 555,000 private placement shares and 555,000 private placement warrants) that will also be worthless if we do not complete a business combination by September 30, 2020.

62

The founder shares are identical to the shares of Class A common stock included in the units, except that (i) the founder shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, (ii) the Sponsor and our officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed (a) to waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and public shares owned in connection with the completion of our business combination, (b) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to their founder shares if we fail to complete our business combination by September 30, 2020 (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any public shares they hold if we fail to complete our business combination by September 30, 2020) and (iii) the founder shares are automatically convertible into shares of our Class A common stock at the time of our business combination, as described herein.

The personal and financial interests of our officers and directors may have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting Ittella Parent, completing a business combination with Ittella Parent and may influence their operation of the post-combination company following the business combination.

The Sponsor and our directors or officers or their affiliates may elect to purchase shares from public stockholders, which may influence a vote on a proposed business combination and reduce the public “float” of our Class A common stock.

The Sponsor or the Company’s or Ittella Parent’s directors, officers or advisors, or any of their respective affiliates, may purchase public shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market prior to the special meeting, although they are under no obligation to do so. Any such purchases that are completed after the record date for the special meeting may include an agreement with a selling stockholder that the stockholder, for so long as he, she or it remains the record holder of the shares in question, will vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposals and/or will not exercise its redemption rights with respect to the shares so purchased. The purpose of the share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood that the proposals to be voted upon at the special meeting are approved by the requisite number of votes. If these purchases do occur, the purchasers may seek to purchase shares from stockholders who would otherwise have voted against the Business Combination Proposal and elected to redeem their shares for a portion of the trust account. Any such privately negotiated purchases may be effected at purchase prices that are below or in excess of the per-share pro rata portion of the trust account. Any public shares held by or subsequently purchased by our affiliates may be voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. This may result in the completion of our business combination that may not otherwise have been possible. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent the purchasers are subject to these reporting requirements.

In addition, if these purchases are made, the public “float” of our Class A common stock and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on the Nasdaq or another national securities exchange or reducing the liquidity of the trading market for our Class A common stock.

Our public stockholders may experience dilution as a consequence of the issuance of common stock as consideration in the business combination. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that our current stockholders have on the management of the post-combination company.

We anticipate that, upon completion of the business combination, assuming no redemptions: (i) the Company’s public stockholders will retain an ownership interest of approximately 34.9% in the post-combination company (not including shares beneficially owned by the Sponsor); (ii) the Sponsor will own approximately 5.3% of the post-combination company; and (iii) the Ittella Parent securityholders will own approximately 59.8% of the post-combination company. These levels of ownership interest assume that no shares are elected to be redeemed. The ownership percentage with respect to the post-combination company following the business combination does not take into account (a) warrants to purchase common stock that will remain outstanding immediately following the business combination; (b) the Holdback Shares and the Sponsor Earnout Shares or (c) the issuance of any shares upon completion of the business combination under the Incentive Plan, substantially in the form attached to this proxy statement as Annex E, but does include founder shares that are not Sponsor Earnout Shares. Founder shares will be converted into shares of common stock at the Closing on a one-for-one basis. In addition, the ownership percentage for the Company’s public stockholders includes the private placement shares that are held by the IPO underwriters. Please

63

see the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” for further information. To the extent that any shares of common stock are issued upon exercise of the public warrants or the private placement warrants or the Incentive Plan, or upon release of the Holdback Shares and the Sponsor Earnout shares from escrow, current stockholders may experience substantial dilution. This dilution could, among other things, limit the ability of our current stockholders to influence management of the post-combination company through the election of directors following the business combination.

There can be no assurance that our common stock that will be issued in connection with the business combination will be approved for listing on Nasdaq following the Closing, or that we will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq.

Our Class A common stock, units and public warrants are currently listed on Nasdaq. Our continued eligibility for listing may depend on, among other things, the number of our shares that are redeemed. If, after the business combination, Nasdaq delists our common stock from trading on its exchange for failure to meet the listing standards, we and our stockholders could face significant adverse consequences including:

•        a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;

•        reduced liquidity for our securities;

•        a determination that our common stock is a “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in our common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities;

•        a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

•        a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” Because our Class A common stock, units and public warrants are listed on Nasdaq, they are covered securities. Although the states are preempted from regulating the sale of our securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. While we are not aware of a state, other than the state of Idaho, having used these powers to prohibit or restrict the sale of securities issued by blank check companies, certain state securities regulators view blank check companies unfavorably and might use these powers, or threaten to use these powers, to hinder the sale of securities of blank check companies in their states. Further, if we were no longer listed on Nasdaq, our securities would not be covered securities and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities, including in connection with our initial business combination.

Resales of the shares of common stock included in the Stock Consideration could depress the market price of our common stock.

There may be a large number of shares of common stock sold in the market following the completion of the business combination or shortly thereafter. The shares held by the Company’s public stockholders will be freely tradeable, and the shares held by the Ittella Parent securityholders will be freely tradeable on the six month anniversary of the Closing.

Assuming no redemptions, there will be approximately 57,645,000 shares of common stock outstanding after the business combination (excluding the Holdback Shares and Sponsor Earnout Shares). We also intend to register all shares of common stock that we may issue under the Incentive Plan. Once we register these shares, they can be freely sold in the public market upon issuance, subject to volume limitations applicable to affiliates.

These sales of shares of common stock or the perception of these sales may depress the market price of our common stock.

64

We have no operating history and are subject to a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution requirement. As such, there is a risk that we will be unable to continue as a going concern if we do not consummate an initial business combination by September 30, 2020. If we are unable to effect a business combination by September 30, 2020, we will be forced to liquidate and our warrants will expire worthless.

We are a blank check company, and as we have no operating history and are subject to a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution requirement, there is a risk that we will be unable to continue as a going concern if we do not consummate an initial business combination by September 30, 2020. Unless we amend the current charter to extend the life of the Company and certain other agreements into which we have entered, if we do not complete an initial business combination by September 30, 2020, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest not released to the Company to pay franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including trust account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per unit in the IPO. In addition, if we fail to complete an initial business combination by September 30, 2020, there will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our public warrants or the private placement warrants, which will expire worthless, unless we amend the current charter to extend the life of the Company and certain other agreements into which we have entered.

Even if we consummate the business combination, there is no guarantee that the public warrants will ever be in the money, and they may expire worthless and the terms of our warrants may be amended.

The exercise price for our warrants is $11.50 per share of Class A common stock. There is no guarantee that the public warrants will ever be in the money prior to their expiration, and as such, the warrants may expire worthless.

Our ability to effect the business combination successfully and to be successful thereafter will depend on the efforts of our key personnel, including the key personnel of Ittella Parent whom we expect to stay with Ittella Parent following the business combination. The loss of key personnel could negatively impact the operations and profitability of our post-combination business and its financial condition could suffer as a result.

Our ability to effectuate our business combination successfully is dependent upon the efforts of our key personnel, including the key personnel of Ittella Parent. Although some of our key personnel may remain with the Company in senior management or advisory positions following our business combination, it is possible that we will lose some key personnel, the loss of which could negatively impact the operations and profitability of our post-combination business. We anticipate that some or all of the management of Ittella Parent will remain in place.

In addition, the officers and directors of an initial business combination candidate may resign upon completion of our initial business combination. The departure of an initial business combination target’s key personnel could negatively impact the operations and profitability of our post-combination business. The role of an initial business combination candidate’s key personnel upon the completion of our initial business combination cannot be ascertained at this time. Although we contemplate that certain members of an initial business combination candidate’s management team will remain associated with the initial business combination candidate following our initial business combination, it is possible that members of the management of an initial business combination candidate will not wish to remain in place. The loss of key personnel could negatively impact the operations and profitability of our post-combination business.

Ittella Parent’s success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of senior management, certain of whom would be difficult to replace. Departure by certain of Ittella Parent’s officers could adversely effect on Ittella Parent’s business, financial condition, or operating results. Ittella Parent does not maintain key-man life insurance on any of its officers. The services of these personnel may not continue to be available to Ittella Parent.

65

The Company and Ittella Parent will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the business combination is pending.

Uncertainty about the effect of the business combination on employees and third parties may have an adverse effect on the Company and Ittella Parent. These uncertainties may impair our or Ittella Parent’s ability to retain and motivate key personnel and could cause third parties that deal with any of us or them to defer entering into contracts or making other decisions or seek to change existing business relationships. If key employees depart because of uncertainty about their future roles and the potential complexities of the business combination, our or Ittella Parent’s business could be harmed.

We may waive one or more of the conditions to the business combination.

We may agree to waive, in whole or in part, one or more of the conditions to our obligations to complete the business combination, to the extent permitted by the current charter and bylaws and applicable laws. We may not waive the condition that our stockholders approve the business combination. Please see the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — The Merger Agreement — Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination” for additional information.

The exercise of discretion by our directors and officers in agreeing to changes to the terms of or waivers of closing conditions in the Merger Agreement may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the Merger Agreement or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in the best interests of our stockholders.

In the period leading up to the Closing, other events may occur that, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, would require the Company to agree to amend the Merger Agreement, to consent to certain actions or to waive rights that we are entitled to under those agreements. Such events could arise because of changes in the course of Ittella Parent’s business, a request by Ittella Parent to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the Merger Agreement or the occurrence of other events that would adversely affect Ittella Parent’s business and would entitle the Company to terminate the Merger Agreement. In any of these circumstances, it would be in the discretion of the Company, acting through its Board, to grant its consent or waive its rights. The existence of the financial and personal interests of the directors described elsewhere in this proxy statement may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of the directors between what he may believe is best for the Company and our stockholders and what he may believe is best for himself or his affiliates in determining whether or not to take the requested action. As of the date of this proxy statement, we do not believe there will be any changes or waivers that our directors and officers would be likely to make after stockholder approval of the business combination has been obtained. While certain changes could be made without further stockholder approval, if there is a change to the terms of the business combination that would have a material impact on the stockholders, we will be required to circulate a new or amended proxy statement or supplement thereto and resolicit the vote of our stockholders with respect to the Business Combination Proposal.

We are not required to obtain and have not obtained an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or from an independent accounting firm, and consequently, you may have no assurance from an independent source that the terms of the business combination are fair to our company from a financial point of view.

We are not required to obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that is a member of FINRA or from an independent accounting firm that the price we are paying is fair to the Company from a financial point of view. Our Board did not obtain a fairness opinion in connection with their determination to approve the business combination. In analyzing the business combination, our Board and our management conducted due diligence on Ittella Parent and researched the industry in which Ittella Parent operates and concluded that the business combination was in the best interest of our stockholders. Accordingly, our stockholders will be relying solely on the judgment of our Board in determining the value of the business combination, and our Board may not have properly valued the business. The lack of third-party fairness opinion may also lead to an increased number of stockholders to vote against the business combination or demand redemption of their shares, which could potentially impact our ability to consummate the business combination. For more information about our decision-making process, see the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Our Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination.”

66

We will incur significant transaction and transition costs in connection with the business combination.

We have incurred and expect to incur significant, non-recurring costs in connection with consummating the business combination and operating as a public company following the consummation of the business combination. We may incur additional costs to retain key employees. All expenses incurred in connection with the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (including the business combination), including all legal, accounting, consulting, investment banking and other fees, expenses and costs, will be for the account of the party incurring these fees, expenses and costs.

The Company’s transaction expenses as a result of the business combination are currently estimated at approximately $33,250,000, including $7,000,000 in deferred underwriting commissions to the underwriters of our IPO.

If we are unable to complete an initial business combination, our public stockholders may receive only approximately $10.00 per share on the liquidation of the trust account (or less than $10.00 per share in certain circumstances where a third party brings a claim against us that the Sponsor is unable to indemnify), and our warrants will expire worthless.

If we are unable to complete an initial business combination by September 30, 2020, our public stockholders may receive only approximately $10.00 per share on the liquidation of the trust account (or less than $10.00 per share in certain circumstances where a third-party brings a claim against us that the Sponsor is unable to indemnify (as described below)) and our warrants will expire worthless.

If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share.

Our placing of funds in the trust account may not protect those funds from third-party claims against us. Although we will seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses and other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any funds held in the trust account for the benefit of our public stockholders, these parties may not execute the agreements, or even if they execute the agreements they may not be prevented from bringing claims against the trust account, including, but not limited to, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain advantage with respect to a claim against our assets, including the funds held in the trust account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving claims to the funds held in the trust account, our management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will only enter into an agreement with a third-party that has not executed a waiver if management believes that such the party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to us than any alternative. Marcum LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, and the underwriters of the IPO, have not executed agreements with us waiving claims to the monies held in the trust account.

Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that these entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason. Upon redemption of our public shares, if we are unable to complete our business combination within the prescribed timeframe, or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with our business combination, we will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against us within the ten years following redemption. Accordingly, the per-share redemption amount received by public stockholders could be less than the $10.00 per share initially held in the trust account, due to claims of these creditors. The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided, that, this liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the trust account (whether or not the waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, we have not asked the Sponsor to reserve for these indemnification

67

obligations, nor have we independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy their indemnity obligations and believe that the Sponsor’s only assets our securities. Therefore, we cannot assure you that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. None of our officers or directors will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

Our directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of the Sponsor, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the trust account available for distribution to our public stockholders.

If the proceeds in the trust account are reduced below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, and the Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While we currently expect that our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their business judgment and subject to their fiduciary duties may choose not to do so in any particular instance, if, for example, the cost of the legal action is deemed by the independent directors to be too high relative to the amount recoverable or if the independent directors determine that a favorable outcome is not likely. If our independent directors choose not to enforce these indemnification obligations, the amount of funds in the trust account available for distribution to our public stockholders may be reduced below $10.00 per share.

We may not have sufficient funds to satisfy indemnification claims of our directors and executive officers.

We have agreed to indemnify our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law. However, our officers and directors have agreed to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the trust account and to not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason whatsoever. Accordingly, any indemnification provided will be able to be satisfied by us only if (i) we have sufficient funds outside of the trust account or (ii) we consummate an initial business combination. Our obligation to indemnify our officers and directors may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our officers or directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against our officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the trust account to our public stockholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in the proceeding may have priority over the claims of our stockholders and the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by our stockholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the trust account to our public stockholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in our bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the trust account, the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by our stockholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.

Following the consummation of the business combination, our only significant asset will be our ownership interest in Ittella Parent and the ownership may not be sufficient to pay dividends or make distributions or loans to enable us to pay any dividends on our common stock or satisfy our other financial obligations.

Following the consummation of the business combination, we will have no direct operations and no significant assets other than our ownership interest in Ittella Parent. We will depend on Ittella Parent for distributions, loans and other payments to generate the funds necessary to meet our financial obligations, including our expenses as a publicly traded company and to pay any dividends with respect to our common stock. The financial condition and operating requirements of Ittella Parent may limit our ability to obtain cash from Ittella Parent. The earnings from, or other available assets of, Ittella Parent may not be sufficient to pay dividends or make distributions or loans to enable us to pay any dividends on our common stock or satisfy our other financial obligations.

68

Subsequent to our completion of our business combination, we may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could negatively affect our financial condition, results of operations and our stock price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

Although we have conducted due diligence on Ittella Parent, we cannot assure you that this diligence will surface all material issues that may be present in Ittella Parent’s business, that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence, or that factors outside of Ittella Parent’s and our control will not later arise. As a result of these factors, we may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure our operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in our reporting losses. Even if our due diligence successfully identifies certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with our preliminary risk analysis. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and not have an immediate impact on our liquidity, the fact that we report charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about the post-combination company or its securities. Accordingly, any stockholders who choose to remain stockholders following the business combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares. These stockholders are unlikely to have a remedy for the reduction in value unless they are able to successfully claim that the reduction was due to the breach by our officers or directors of a duty of care or other fiduciary duty owed to them, or if they are able to successfully bring a private claim under securities laws that the proxy solicitation or tender offer materials, as applicable, relating to the business combination contained an actionable material misstatement or omission.

We have no operating or financial history and our results of operations may differ significantly from the unaudited pro forma financial data included in this proxy statement.

We are a blank check company and we have no operating history and no revenues. This proxy statement includes unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements for the post-combination company. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations of the post-combination company combines the historical audited results of operations of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the unaudited results of the Company for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, with the historical audited results of operations of Ittella Parent for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the unaudited results of Ittella Parent for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, respectively, and gives pro forma effect to the business combination as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2019. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet of the post-combination company combines the historical balance sheets of the Company as of March 31, 2020 and of Ittella Parent as of March 31, 2020 and gives pro forma effect to the business combination as if it had been consummated on March 31, 2020.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only, are based on certain assumptions, address a hypothetical situation and reflect limited historical financial data. Therefore, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations and financial position that would have been achieved had the business combination been consummated on the dates indicated above, or the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the post-combination company. Accordingly, the post-combination company’s business, assets, cash flows, results of operations and financial condition may differ significantly from those indicated by the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements included in this document. For more information, please see the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”

The proposed charter includes a forum selection clause, which could discourage claims or limit stockholders’ ability to make a claim against us, our directors, officers, other employees or stockholders.

The current charter includes, and the proposed charter will also include, a forum selection clause. The proposed charter provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder (including a beneficial owner) to bring any: (i) derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company; (ii) action asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty owed by any of the post-combination company’s directors, officers or other employees of the post-combination company to the post-combination company or its stockholders; (iii) action asserting a claim against the post-combination company, its directors, officers or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the proposed charter or proposed bylaws; or (iv) action asserting a claim against the post-combination company, its directors, officers or employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine, except for, as to each of (i) through (iv) above, any claim (A) as to which the Court of Chancery determines that there

69

is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten days following the determination), (B) that is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery, or (C) for which the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction. Unless the post-combination company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under federal securities laws, including the Securities Act. This forum selection clause may discourage claims or limit stockholders’ ability to submit claims in a judicial forum that they find favorable and may result in additional costs for a stockholder seeking to bring a claim. While we believe the risk of a court declining to enforce this forum selection clause is low, if a court were to determine the forum selection clause to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs in conjunction with our efforts to resolve the dispute in an alternative jurisdiction, which could have a negative impact on our results of operations and financial condition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the forum selection clause will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the sole and exclusive forum.

Unanticipated changes in effective tax rates or adverse outcomes resulting from examination of our income or other tax returns could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We will be subject to income taxes in the United States, and our domestic tax liabilities will be subject to the allocation of expenses in differing jurisdictions. Our future effective tax rates could be subject to volatility or adversely affected by a number of factors, including:

•        changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities;

•        expected timing and amount of the release of any tax valuation allowances;

•        tax effects of stock-based compensation;

•        costs related to intercompany restructurings;

•        changes in tax laws, regulations or interpretations thereof; and

•        lower than anticipated future earnings in jurisdictions where we have lower statutory tax rates and higher than anticipated future earnings in jurisdictions where we have higher statutory tax rates.

In addition, we may be subject to audits of our income, sales and other transaction taxes by U.S. federal and state authorities. Outcomes from these audits could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

A market for our securities may not continue, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of our securities.

Following the business combination, the price of our securities may fluctuate significantly due to the market’s reaction to the business combination and general market and economic conditions. An active trading market for our securities following the business combination may never develop or, if developed, it may not be sustained. In addition, the price of our securities after the business combination can vary due to general economic conditions and forecasts, our general business condition and the release of our financial reports. Additionally, if our securities are not listed on, or become delisted from, Nasdaq for any reason, and are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, an inter-dealer automated quotation system for equity securities that is not a national securities exchange, the liquidity and price of our securities may be more limited than if we were quoted or listed on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange. You may be unable to sell your securities unless a market can be established or sustained.

If the business combination’s benefits do not meet the expectations of investors, stockholders or financial analysts, the market price of our securities may decline.

If the benefits of the business combination do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of the Company’s securities prior to the Closing may decline. The market values of our securities at the time of the business combination may vary significantly from their prices on the date the Merger Agreement was executed, the date of this proxy statement, or the date on which our stockholders vote on the business combination.

70

In addition, following the business combination, fluctuations in the price of our securities could contribute to the loss of all or part of your investment. Immediately prior to the business combination, there has not been a public market for Ittella Parent’s stock and trading in the shares of our Class A common stock has not been active. Accordingly, the valuation ascribed to Ittella Parent and our Class A common stock in the business combination may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market following the business combination. If an active market for our securities develops and continues, the trading price of our securities following the business combination could be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. Any of the factors listed below could adversely effect on your investment in our securities and our securities may trade at prices significantly below the price you paid for them. In these circumstances, the trading price of our securities may not recover and may experience a further decline.

Factors affecting the trading price of the post-combination company’s securities following the business combination may include:

•        actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly financial results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar to us;

•        changes in the market’s expectations about our operating results;

•        the public’s reaction to our press releases, our other public announcements and our filings with the SEC;

•        speculation in the press or investment community;

•        success of competitors;

•        our operating results failing to meet the expectation of securities analysts or investors in a particular period;

•        changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning the post-combination company or the market in general;

•        operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to the post-combination company;

•        our ability to market new and enhanced products on a timely basis;

•        changes in laws and regulations affecting our business;

•        commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving the post-combination company;

•        changes in the post-combination company’s capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;

•        the volume of shares of our common stock available for public sale;

•        any major change in our Board or management;

•        sales of substantial amounts of common stock by our directors, officers or significant stockholders or the perception that such sales could occur; and

•        general economic and political conditions such as recessions, interest rates, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations and acts of war or terrorism.

Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our securities irrespective of our operating performance. The stock market in general and Nasdaq have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of our securities, may not be predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for the stocks of other companies that investors perceive to be similar to the post-combination company could depress our stock price regardless of our business, prospects, financial conditions or results of operations. A decline in the market price of our securities also could adversely affect our ability to issue additional securities and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future.

71

In the past, securities class action litigation has often been initiated against companies following periods of volatility in their stock price. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention and resources, and could also require us to make substantial payments to satisfy judgments or to settle litigation.

A significant portion of our total outstanding shares are restricted from immediate resale but may be sold into the market in the near future. This could cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of common stock in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our common stock. After the business combination, assuming no redemptions, the Sponsor will beneficially own approximately 5.3% of our common stock (excluding the Holdback Shares and the Sponsor Earnout Shares). The Sponsor and our directors and officers entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their founder shares (except to certain permitted transferees) until one year after the completion of the business combination or earlier if subsequent to the business combination, (i) the closing price of our common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after our initial business combination or (ii) we consummate a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly and could fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors due to seasonality and other factors, some of which are beyond our control, resulting in a decline in our stock price.

Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly because of several factors, including:

•        labor availability and costs for hourly and management personnel;

•        profitability of our products, especially in new markets and due to seasonal fluctuations;

•        changes in interest rates;

•        impairment of long-lived assets;

•        macroeconomic conditions, both nationally and locally;

•        negative publicity relating to products we serve;

•        changes in consumer preferences and competitive conditions;

•        expansion to new markets; and

•        fluctuations in commodity prices.

If, following the business combination, securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about the post-combination company, its business, or its market, or if they change their recommendations regarding our common stock adversely, then the price and trading volume of our common stock could decline.

The trading market for our common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about us, our business, our market, or our competitors. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on the Company or the post-combination company. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of the post-combination company, our stock price and trading volume would likely be negatively impacted. If any of the analysts who may cover the post-combination company change their recommendation regarding our stock adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, the price of our common stock would likely decline. If any analyst who may cover the Company were to cease coverage of the post-combination company or fail to regularly publish reports on it, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

72

We may be unable to obtain additional financing to fund the operations and growth of the post-combination company.

We may require additional financing to fund the operations or growth of the post-combination company. We cannot assure you that such financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. We may require additional financing to fund the operations or growth of the target business. The failure to secure additional financing could adversely affect the continued development or growth of the target business. None of our officers, directors or stockholders is required to provide any financing to us in connection with or after our initial business combination. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our public stockholders may only receive approximately $10.36 per share (based on the trust account balance as of March 31, 2020) on the liquidation of our trust account, and our warrants will expire worthless. Furthermore, under certain circumstances our public stockholders may receive less than $10.36 per share (based on the trust account balance as of March 31, 2020) upon the liquidation of the trust account.

Changes in laws, regulations or rules, or a failure to comply with any laws, regulations or rules, may adversely affect our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial business combination and results of operations.

We are subject to laws, regulations and rules enacted by national, regional and local governments and Nasdaq. In particular, we are required to comply with certain SEC, Nasdaq and other legal or regulatory requirements. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws, regulations and rules may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Those laws, regulations or rules and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time and those changes could adversely affect our business, investments and results of operations. In addition, a failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations or rules, as interpreted and applied, could adversely affect our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial business combination and results of operations.

The post-combination company may be a “controlled company” under The Nasdaq Stock Market listing rules and, as a result, our stockholders may not have certain corporate governance protections that are available to stockholders of companies that are not controlled companies.

Following the completion of the business combination, depending on the number of public shares redeemed by our public stockholders, Mr. Galletti and Project Lily LLC, which is controlled by Mr. Galletti, may control a majority of the post-combination company’s outstanding common stock. Assuming a redemption price of $10.00 per share, if more than approximately 5% of our public shares are redeemed, Mr. Galletti would control a majority of the post-combination company’s outstanding common shares and the post-combination company would be a “controlled company” under The Nasdaq Stock Market listing rules. Under those rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including the requirements for: (i) a majority of independent directors; (ii) a nominating committee comprised solely of independent directors; (iii) compensation of our executive officers determined by a majority of the independent directors or a compensation committee comprised solely of independent directors; and (iv) director nominees selected, or recommended for the Board’s selection, either by a majority of the independent directors or a nominating committee comprised solely of independent directors. The post-combination company intends to abide by these standards notwithstanding the exemption, but would not be required to, and could cease doing so at any time that it is a “controlled company”.

Mr. Galletti may have his interest in the post-combination company diluted due to future equity issuances or his own actions in selling shares of common stock. Either scenario could result in a loss of the “controlled company” exemption under The Nasdaq Stock Market listing rules. The post-combination company would then be required to comply with those provisions of The Nasdaq Stock Market listing requirements.

Mr. Galletti will have significant influence or control over the post-combination company and his interests may conflict with those of other stockholders.

Following the completion of the business combination, Mr. Galletti and Project Lily LLC, which is controlled by Mr. Galletti, are collectively expected to hold between 49.3% and 63.3% of the post-combination company’s total outstanding common stock. As such, Mr. Galletti will have significant influence or, if his interest in common stock exceeds 50%, control over the election of the members of the post-combination company’s board of directors and

73

thereby may significantly influence the post-combination company’s policies and operations, including the appointment of management, future issuances of our common stock or other securities, the payment of dividends, if any, the incurrence or modification of debt, amendments to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, and the entering into of extraordinary transactions, and Mr. Galletti’s interests may not in all cases be aligned with those of other stockholders.

In the event of a conflict between the post-combination company’s interests and the interests of Mr. Galletti, we have adopted policies and procedures, specifically a Code of Ethics and a Related Party Transactions Policy, to identify, review, consider and approve such conflicts of interest. In general, if an affiliate of a director, executive officer or significant stockholder, including Mr. Galletti, intends to engage in a transaction involving the post-combination company, that director, executive officer or significant stockholder must report the transaction for consideration and approval by the post-combination company’s audit committee. However, there are no assurances that the our efforts and policies to eliminate the potential impacts of conflicts of interest will be effective.

The Sponsor will have significant influence over the post-combination company after completion of the business combination and its interest may be different from or in addition to (or which may conflict with) your interests as a stockholder.

Upon completion of the business combination, assuming no redemptions, the Sponsor will beneficially own approximately 5.3% of our common stock (excluding the Holdback Shares and the Sponsor Earnout Shares) and has the right to appoint or nominate for election to our Board, as applicable, three individuals to serve as directors. As long as the Sponsor has the right to appoint or nominate for election directors to our Board, it will have the ability to significantly influence our corporate actions.

The Sponsor’s interests may not align with the interests of our other stockholders. The Sponsor is in the business of making investments in companies and may acquire and hold interests in businesses that compete directly or indirectly with us. The Sponsor may also pursue acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to our business, and, as a result, those acquisition opportunities may not be available to us.

We have not registered the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and registration may not be in place when an investor desires to exercise warrants, thus precluding the investor from being able to exercise his, her or its warrants except on a cashless basis. If the issuance of the shares upon exercise of warrants is not registered, qualified or exempt from registration or qualification, the holder of the warrant will not be entitled to exercise the warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless.

We have not registered the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants under the Securities Act or any state securities laws at this time. However, under the terms of the Warrant Agreement, we have agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of our initial business combination, we will use our best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration under the Securities Act of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and thereafter will use our best efforts to cause to become effective within 60 business days following our initial business combination and to maintain a current prospectus relating to Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Agreement. We cannot assure you that we will be able to do so if, for example, any facts or events arise which represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement or prospectus, the financial statements contained or incorporated by reference therein are not current or correct or the SEC issues a stop order. If the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants are not registered under the Securities Act, we will be required to permit holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis. However, no warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and we will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder, or an exemption from registration is available. Notwithstanding the above, if our common stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange and is not a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, we may, at our option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, if we so elect, we will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and if we do not so elect, we will use our best efforts to register or

74

qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. In no event will we be required to net cash settle any warrant, or issue securities or other compensation in exchange for the warrants if we are unable to register or qualify the shares underlying the warrants under applicable state securities laws and there is no exemption available. If the issuance of the shares upon exercise of the warrants is not so registered or qualified or exempt from registration or qualification, the holder of the warrant will not be entitled to exercise the warrant and the warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In that event, holders who acquired their warrants as part of a purchase of units will have paid the full unit purchase price solely for the shares of common stock included in the units. If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, we may not exercise our redemption right if the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or we are unable to effect the registration or qualification. We will use our best efforts to register or qualify the shares of common stock under the blue sky laws of the state of residence in those states in which the warrants were offered by us in the IPO. However, there may be instances in which holders of our public warrants may be unable to exercise the public warrants, but holders of our private warrants may be able to exercise their private warrants.

If you exercise your public warrants on a “cashless basis,” you will receive fewer shares of Class A common stock from the exercise than if you were to exercise your warrants for cash.

There are circumstances in which the exercise of the public warrants may be required or permitted to be made on a cashless basis. First, if a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of our initial business combination, warrantholders may, until there is an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Second, if our common stock is at any time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange and is not a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, we may, at our option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a cashless basis in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, if we so elect, we will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and if we do not so elect, we will use our best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. Third, if we call the public warrants for redemption, our management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise warrants to do so on a cashless basis. In the event of an exercise on a cashless basis, a holder would pay the warrant exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (as defined in the next sentence) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” is the average reported last sale price of the common stock for the ten trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of exercise is received by the warrant agent or on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants, as applicable. As a result, you would receive fewer shares of common stock from the exercise than if you were to exercise the warrants for cash.

We may amend the terms of the warrants in a manner that may be adverse to holders of public warrants with the approval by the holders of at least 65% of the then-outstanding warrants. As a result, the exercise price of your warrants could be increased, the exercise period could be shortened and the number of shares of our common stock purchasable upon exercise of a warrant could be decreased, all without your approval.

Our warrants have been issued in registered form under the Warrant Agreement. The Warrant Agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least 65% of the then outstanding public warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of public warrants. Accordingly, we may amend the terms of the public warrants in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least 65% of the then outstanding public warrants approve of such amendment. Although our ability to amend the terms of the public warrants with the consent of at least 65% of the then outstanding public warrants is unlimited, examples of these amendments could be amendments to, among other things, increase the exercise price of the warrants, convert the warrants into cash or stock, shorten the exercise period or decrease the number of shares of our common stock purchasable upon exercise of a warrant.

75

We may redeem unexpired warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to you, thereby making your warrants worthless.

We have the ability to redeem outstanding warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per warrant, provided that the last reported sales price of our common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading-day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which we give proper notice of redemption and provided certain other conditions are met. If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, we may not exercise our redemption right if the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or we are unable to effect registration or qualification. We will use our best efforts to register or qualify the shares of common stock under the blue-sky laws of the state of residence in those states in which the warrants were offered by us in the IPO. Redemption of the outstanding warrants could force you to (i) exercise your warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous for you to do so, (ii) sell your warrants at the then-current market price when you might otherwise wish to hold your warrants or (iii) accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of your warrants. None of the private placement warrants will be redeemable by us so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

Warrants will become exercisable for our common stock, which would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to our stockholders.

We issued warrants to purchase 20,000,000 shares of Class A common stock as part of our IPO and concurrently with our IPO, we issued 655,000 private placement units, with each private placement unit consisting of one share of Class A common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. In addition, prior to consummating an initial business combination, nothing prevents us from issuing additional securities in a private placement so long as they do not participate in any manner in the trust account or vote as a class with the common stock on a business combination. Assuming no redemptions, we expect to issue approximately 34,500,000 shares of our common stock to the Ittella Parent securityholders upon consummation of the business combination excluding the Holdback Shares). The shares of common stock issued to the Ittella Parent securityholders and additional shares of our common stock issued upon exercise of our warrants and the release of the Holdback Shares and the Sponsor Escrow Shares from escrow will result in dilution to the then existing holders of common stock of the Company and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market. Sales of substantial numbers of shares in the public market could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

The private placement warrants are identical to the warrants sold as part of the units issued in our IPO except that, so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, (i) they will not be redeemable by us, (ii) they (including the common stock issuable upon exercise of these warrants) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the Sponsor until 30 days after the completion of the business combination and (iii) they may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis.

Our stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against us to the extent of distributions received by them upon redemption of their shares.

Under the DGCL, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. The pro rata portion of our trust account distributed to our public stockholders upon the redemption of our public shares in the event we do not complete our initial business combination by September 30, 2020 may be considered a liquidating distribution under Delaware law. If a corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of the stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution. However, it is our intention to redeem our public shares as soon as reasonably possible following September 30, 2020 if we do not complete our business combination and, therefore, we do not intend to comply with the foregoing procedures.

76

Because we will not be complying with Section 280, Section 281(b) of the DGCL requires us to adopt a plan, based on facts known to us at such time that will provide for our payment of all existing and pending claims or claims that may be potentially brought against us within the ten years following our dissolution. However, because we are a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and our operations are limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from our vendors (such as lawyers, investment bankers, etc.) or prospective target businesses. If our plan of distribution complies with Section 281(b) of the DGCL, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of the stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would likely be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution.

We cannot assure you that we will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against us. As such, our stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of our stockholders may extend beyond the third anniversary of that date. Furthermore, if the pro rata portion of our trust account distributed to our public stockholders upon the redemption of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination by September 30, 2020 is not considered a liquidating distribution under Delaware law and the redemption distribution is deemed to be unlawful (potentially due to the imposition of legal proceedings that a party may bring or due to other circumstances that are currently unknown), then pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, the statute of limitations for claims of creditors could then be six years after the unlawful redemption distribution, instead of three years, as in the case of a liquidating distribution.

If, after we distribute the proceeds in the trust account to our public stockholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy court may seek to recover the proceeds, and we and our board may be exposed to claims of punitive damages.

If, after we distribute the proceeds in the trust account to our public stockholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover all amounts received by our stockholders. In addition, our Board may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to our creditors and/or having acted in bad faith, thereby exposing itself and us to claims of punitive damages, by paying public stockholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors.

Anti-takeover provisions contained in the proposed charter and proposed bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could impair a takeover attempt.

The proposed charter will contain provisions that may discourage unsolicited takeover proposals that stockholders may consider to be in their best interests. We are also subject to anti-takeover provisions under Delaware law, which could delay or prevent a change of control. Together these provisions may make more difficult the removal of management and may discourage transactions that otherwise could involve payment of a premium over prevailing market prices for our securities. These provisions are described in the Section titled “Proposal No. 4 — The Advisory Charter Proposals.

We are an emerging growth company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if we take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies, this could make our securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies.

We are an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. As a result, our stockholders may not have access to certain information they may deem important. We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, although circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier, including if the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700,000,000 as of any June 30 before that time, in which

77

case we would no longer be an emerging growth company as of the following December 31. We cannot predict whether investors will find our securities less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result of our reliance on these exemptions, the trading prices of our securities may be lower than they otherwise would be, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the trading prices of our securities may be more volatile.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of the extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accountant standards used.

Cyber incidents or attacks directed at us could result in information theft, data corruption, operational disruption and/or financial loss.

We depend on digital technologies, including information systems, infrastructure and cloud applications and services, including those of third parties with which we may deal. Sophisticated and deliberate attacks on, or security breaches in, our systems or infrastructure, or the systems or infrastructure of third parties or the cloud, could lead to corruption or misappropriation of our assets, proprietary information and sensitive or confidential data. As an early stage company without significant investments in data security protection, we may not be sufficiently protected against such occurrences. We may not have sufficient resources to adequately protect against, or to investigate and remediate any vulnerability to, cyber incidents. It is possible that any of these occurrences, or a combination of them, could have adverse consequences on our business and lead to financial loss.

Our initial business combination may be adversely affected by the recent coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern.” On January 31, 2020, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex M. Azar II declared a public health emergency for the United States to aid the U.S. healthcare community in responding to COVID-19, and on March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak as a “pandemic”. A significant outbreak of COVID-19 and other infectious diseases could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets worldwide, and the business of any potential target business with which we consummate our initial business combination could be adversely affected. Furthermore, we may be unable to complete our initial business combination if continued concerns relating to COVID-19 restrict travel, limit the ability to have meetings with potential investors or the target company’s personnel, vendors and services providers are unavailable to negotiate and consummate a transaction in a timely manner. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our initial business combination will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. If the disruptions posed by COVID-19 or other matters of global concern continue, our ability to consummate our initial business combination, or the operations of a target business with which we ultimately consummate our initial business combination, may be adversely affected.

Risks Related to the Redemption

We do not have a specified maximum redemption threshold. The absence of such a redemption threshold may make it possible for us to complete an initial business combination with which a substantial majority of our stockholders do not agree.

The current charter does not provide a specified maximum redemption threshold, except that we will not redeem our public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 upon consummation of our initial business combination and after payment of underwriters’ fees and commissions (such that we are not

78

subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules). However, the Merger Agreement provides that Ittella Parent’s obligation to consummate the business combination is conditioned on cash consideration available for payment to the Ittella Parent securityholders is at least $50,000,000. As a result, we may be able to complete our initial business combination even though a substantial portion of our public stockholders do not agree with the transaction and have redeemed their shares or have entered into privately negotiated agreements to sell their shares to the Sponsor or our or Ittella Parent’s directors, officers or advisors, or any of their respective affiliates. As of the date of this proxy statement, no agreements with respect to the private purchase of public shares by the Company or the persons described above have been entered into with any such investor or holder. We will file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC to disclose private arrangements entered into or significant private purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the Business Combination Proposal or other proposals (as described in this proxy statement) at the special meeting.

If the aggregate cash consideration we would be required to pay for all shares of Class A common stock that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement exceeds the aggregate amount of cash available to us, we may not complete the initial business combination or redeem any shares, all shares of Class A common stock submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof, and we instead may search for an alternate business combination.

If you or a “group” of stockholders of which you are a part are deemed to hold an aggregate of more than 15% of our Class A common stock issued in the IPO, you (or, if a member of such a group, all of the members of the group in the aggregate) will lose the ability to redeem all such shares in excess of 15% of our Class A common stock issued in the IPO without the prior consent of the Company.

The current charter provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of that stockholder or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate his, her or its shares or, if part of such a group, the group’s shares, in excess of 15% of the shares of Class A common stock included in the units sold in our IPO (the “excess shares”) without the prior consent of the Company. In order to determine whether that stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with another stockholder, the Company will require each public stockholder seeking to exercise redemption rights to certify to the Company whether the stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with any other stockholder. These certifications, together with other public information relating to stock ownership available to the Company at that time, such as Section 13D, Section 13G and Section 16 filings under the Exchange Act, will be the sole basis on which the Company makes the above-referenced determination. Your inability to redeem any excess shares will reduce your influence over our ability to consummate the initial business combination and you could suffer a material loss on your investment in us if you sell these excess shares in open market transactions. Additionally, you will not receive redemption distributions with respect to any excess shares if we consummate the initial business combination. As a result, you will continue to hold that number of shares aggregating to more than 15% of the shares sold in our IPO and, in order to dispose of excess shares, would be required to sell your stock in open market transactions, potentially at a loss. We cannot assure you that the value of the excess shares will appreciate over time following the initial business combination or that the market price of our Class A common stock will exceed the per-share redemption price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, stockholders may challenge the Company’s determination as to whether a stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with another stockholder in a court of competent jurisdiction.

However, our stockholders’ ability to vote all of their shares (including any excess shares) for or against the initial business combination is not restricted by this limitation on redemption.

There is no guarantee that you decision whether to redeem your shares for a pro rata portion of the trust account will put you in a better future economic position.

We can give no assurance as to the price at which you may be able to sell you public shares in the future following the completion of the business combination or any alternative business combination. Certain events following the consummation of any initial business combination, including the business combination, may cause an increase in our share price, and may result in a lower value realized now than you might realize in the future had you not redeemed your shares. Similarly, if you do not redeem your shares, you will bear the risk of ownership of the public shares after the consummation of any initial business combination, and there can be no assurance that you can sell your shares in the future for a greater amount than the redemption price set forth in this proxy statement. You should consult your own tax and/or financial advisor for assistance on how this may affect your individual situation.

79

Stockholders of the Company who wish to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the trust account must comply with specific requirements for redemption that may make it more difficult for them to exercise their redemption rights prior to the deadline. If stockholders fail to comply with the redemption requirements specified in this proxy statement, they will not be entitled to redeem their shares of our Class A common stock for a pro rata portion of the funds held in our trust account.

Public stockholders who wish to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the trust account must, among other things (i) submit a request in writing and (ii) tender their certificates to our Transfer Agent or deliver their shares to the Transfer Agent electronically through the DWAC system at least two business days prior to the special meeting. In order to obtain a physical stock certificate, a stockholder’s broker and/or clearing broker, DTC and our Transfer Agent will need to act to facilitate this request. It is our understanding that stockholders should generally allow at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the Transfer Agent. However, because we do not have any control over this process or over the brokers, it may take significantly longer than two weeks to obtain a physical stock certificate. If it takes longer than anticipated to obtain a physical certificate, stockholders who wish to redeem their shares may be unable to obtain physical certificates by the deadline for exercising their redemption rights and thus will be unable to redeem their shares.

Stockholders electing to redeem their shares will receive their pro rata portion of the trust account less franchise and income taxes payable, calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the business combination. Please see the section entitled “Special Meeting of Stockholders — Redemption Rights” for additional information on how to exercise your redemption rights.

If a stockholder fails to receive notice of our offer to redeem our public shares in connection with our business combination, or fails to comply with the procedures for tendering its shares, the shares may not be redeemed.

If, despite our compliance with the proxy rules, a stockholder fails to receive our proxy materials, that stockholder may not become aware of the opportunity to redeem his, her or its public shares. In addition, the proxy materials that we are furnishing to holders of our public shares in connection with our business combination describes the various procedures that must be complied with in order to validly redeem public shares. If a stockholder fails to comply with these procedures, its shares may not be redeemed.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Introduction

The Company is providing the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to aid you in your analysis of the financial aspects of the business combination.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X and presents the pro forma effects of the following transactions (collectively the “Transactions”):

1.      The restructuring described in “Information About Ittella Parent — Corporate Information” prior to the consummation of the business combination.

2.      Distribution of earnings of $1,400,000 to the former sole shareholder of Ittella Parent prior to the consummation of the business combination.

3.      The business combination.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2020, assume that the Transactions, as described above, occurred on March 31, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the three months ended March 31, 2020, present the pro forma effect of the Transactions as if they had been completed on January 1, 2019.

The following unaudited pro forma combined financial statements do not necessarily reflect what the post-combination company’s financial condition or results of operations would have been had the Transactions occurred on the dates indicated. The pro forma combined financial information also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of the post-combination company. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors.

The historical financial information of the Company was derived from the audited financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2020, included elsewhere in this proxy statement. The historical financial information of Ittella Parent was derived from Ittella Parent’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 and its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2020, included elsewhere in this proxy statement.

The pro forma financial information is qualified in its entirety by reference to, and should be read together with the Company’s and Ittella Parent’s unaudited and audited consolidated financial statements and related notes and the sections titled “Summary Historical Financial Information of the Company”, “Summary Historical Financial Information of Ittella Parent”, “The Company’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, and “Ittella Parent Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, included elsewhere in this proxy statement. The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based on information currently available, and assumptions and estimates underlying the unaudited pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes. Actual results may differ materially from the assumptions used to present the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

Description of the Business Combination

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Ittella Parent, with Ittella Parent continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The aggregate consideration payable at the Closing to the Ittella Parent securityholders is the Closing Merger Consideration. The Closing is expected to take place in early October, as soon as practicable after the special meeting, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions in the Merger Agreement. The Closing Merger Consideration is required to comprise between $50,000,000 and $75,000,000 in cash, with the remainder of the Closing Merger Consideration comprising the Company’s common stock, valued at $10.00 per share. The Holdback Shares are payable after the Closing to the Ittella Parent stockholders upon satisfaction of certain conditions within the first three years after the Closing.

Accounting for the Business Combination

Business combinations in which the legal acquirer is not the accounting acquirer are commonly referred to as “reverse acquisitions” and can represent asset acquisitions, capital transactions and business combinations. A reverse acquisition occurs when the entity that issues securities (the legal acquirer) is identified as the acquiree for accounting purposes and the entity whose equity interests are acquired (the legal acquiree) is identified as the acquirer for accounting purposes. Reverse acquisitions are accounted for in accordance with Subtopic 805-40 of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805 “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805-40”).

As described elsewhere in this proxy statement, including under the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal,” Ittella Parent has agreed to be acquired by the Company, which is a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), through which the owners of Ittella Parent will obtain control of the Company following the business combination. In accordance with ACS 805-40, the business combination will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition in which the Company is considered the legal acquirer and Ittella Parent is considered the accounting acquirer. As such, the consolidated financial statements will reflect the accounting from the perspective of Ittella Parent as the accounting acquirer. This determination is based on the following factors:

i.       Ittella Parent securityholders combined will retain the largest voting interest in the post-combination company.

ii.      Ittella Parent’s former management will represent the majority of the management of the post-combination company.

iii.     Ittella Parent will be the entity with the ability to elect the largest number of members to the post-combination company’s board of directors.

iv.      Ittella Parent is larger than the Company based on assets, revenues, or earnings.

Other factors were evaluated but are not considered to have a material impact on the determination of Ittella Parent as the accounting acquirer.

The business combination will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, the Company will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the business combination will be treated as the equivalent of Ittella Parent issuing stock for the net assets of the Company, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of the Company will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the reverse acquisition will be those of Ittella Parent. The reverse acquisition of Ittella Parent is determined to result in a transfer of an entire business operation and therefore represents a business combination through which the pre-transaction securityholders of Ittella Parent will retain a controlling interest in the post-combination company.

Basis of Unaudited Pro Forma Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 have been prepared using and should be read in conjunction with the following:

•        The Company’s audited financial statements, consisting of the balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 and statement of operations and comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes, included elsewhere in this proxy statement.

•        Ittella Parent’s audited consolidated financial statements, consisting of the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 and consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes, included elsewhere in this proxy statement.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2020 have been prepared using and should be read in conjunction with the following:

•        The Company’s unaudited financial statements, consisting of the balance sheet as of March 31, 2020 and statement of operations and comprehensive income for the three months period ended March 31, 2020, and the related notes, included elsewhere in this proxy statement.

82

•        Ittella Parent’s unaudited consolidated financial statements, consisting of the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2020 and consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three months period ended March 31, 2020, and the related notes, included elsewhere in this proxy statement.

Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments. As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings or cost savings that may be associated with the business combination.

The unaudited pro forma adjustments reflecting the completion of the business combination are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited condensed pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the unaudited pro forma condensed adjustments and it is possible the difference may be material. The Company believes that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the business combination based on information available to management at this time and that the unaudited pro forma condensed adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the business combination taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the post-combination company. They should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of the Company and Ittella Parent.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared assuming two alternative levels of redemption into cash of the Company’s Class A common stock.

•        Assuming No Redemption:    This presentation assumes that none of the holders of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock exercised redemption rights for a pro rata share of the funds in the Company’s trust account.

•        Assuming Maximum Redemption:    This presentation assumes that holders of 11,789,271 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock exercised redemption rights for a pro rata share of $122,185,668 of the $207,235,255 held in the Company’s trust account. This represents the maximum redemption allowed to enable the business combination.

Accounting Policies and Reclassifications

Based on management’s initial analysis of the accounting policies of the Company and Ittella Parent, there were no differences identified that would have an impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information or that would require adjustments to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. Upon completion of the business combination, management will perform a comprehensive review of the accounting policies of the Company and Ittella Parent. As a result of the comprehensive review, management may identify differences between the accounting policies of these entities which, when conformed, could have a material impact on the financial statements of the post-combination company.

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2020 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019 and three months ended March 31, 2020 are based on the historical financial statements of the Company and Ittella Parent. The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based on information currently available, and assumptions and estimates underlying the unaudited pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes. Actual results may differ materially from the assumptions used to present the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

The historical consolidated financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the business combination, (2) factually supportable and (3) with respect to the statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the results of the post-combination company.

There were no intercompany balances or transactions between the Company and Ittella Parent as of the dates and for the periods of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated provision for income taxes does not necessarily reflect the amounts that would have resulted had the Company and Ittella Parent filed consolidated income tax returns during the periods presented.

The unaudited pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated statements of operations are based upon the number of shares outstanding, assuming the business combination occurred on January 1, 2019.

The unaudited pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2020, and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the three months ended March 31, 2020, are as follows:

Pro Forma Adjustments (PF)

1.      Reflects the reclassification of cash held in the Company’s trust account amounting to $205,314,566 as of December 31, 2019 and $207,235,255 as of March 31, 2020. This cash becomes available for transaction considerations (i.e., settlement of debts and defined obligations of Ittella Parent), transaction expenses, redemption of shares of Class A common stock of the Company (i.e., for maximum redemption scenario) and the general corporate purposes following the Closing. This also reflects the reversal of trust income, net of related taxes.

•        Advisory Charter Proposal A — to provide that any amendment to provisions of the current charter and proposed bylaws will require the approval of the holders of at least 85% of the Company’s then-outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally at an election of directors; provided, that, at any time when, immediately prior to the filing and effectiveness of the proposed charter, the Ittella Parties beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than a majority of the total voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally at an election of directors, the reference to “85%” in the foregoing sentence shall be deemed to be amended and replaced with the words “66 2/3%”;

•        Advisory Charter Proposal B — to provide that the Company opts out of Section 203 of the DGCL, which prevents certain Delaware corporations, under certain circumstances, from engaging in a “business combination” with certain “interested stockholders” and their affiliates, and, instead, be governed by a provision substantially similar to Section 203 of the DGCL; for more information on Section 203 of the DGCL, see the section titled “Description of Securities — Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws”;

•        Advisory Charter Proposal E — to change the name of the new public entity to “Tattooed Chef, Inc.” from “Forum Merger II Corporation”;

•        Proposal No. 7 — Adjournment Proposal — To consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the adjournment of the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the condition precedent proposals. The Adjournment Proposal will only be presented at the special meeting if there are not sufficient votes to approve the condition precedent proposals.

OUR BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” EACH OF
THESE PROPOSALS
AND “FOR” EACH OF THE DIRECTOR NOMINEES.

Vote of the Company’s Sponsor, Directors and Officers

Prior to our IPO, we entered into agreements with the Sponsor and our directors and officers, pursuant to which each agreed to vote any shares of common stock owned by them in favor of an initial business combination. These agreements apply to the Sponsor, as it relates to the founder shares and the requirement to vote all of the founder shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and for all other proposals presented to our stockholders in this proxy statement.

The Sponsor and our directors and officers have waived any redemption rights, including with respect to shares of Class A common stock purchased in our IPO or in the aftermarket, in connection with business combination. The founder shares held by the Sponsor have no redemption rights upon our liquidation and will be worthless if no business combination is effected by us by September 30, 2020. However, the Sponsor is entitled to redemption rights upon our liquidation with respect to any public shares it may own.

Quorum and Required Vote for Proposals for the Special Meeting

Approval of the condition precedent proposals and the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Approval of the Advisory Charter Proposals, each of which is a non-binding vote, requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the votes cast by our stockholders present in person (which would include presence at the virtual special meeting) or represented by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote thereon.

A stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the special meeting (which would include voting at the virtual special meeting) will not be counted towards the number of shares of common stock required to validly establish a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established. Each of the failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person (which would include voting at the virtual special meeting), an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote on any of the condition precedent

93

proposals and the Adjournment Proposal will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” any such proposal. Each of the failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person (which would include voting at the virtual special meeting), an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote on any of the Advisory Charter Proposals and the Director Election Proposal will have no effect on the outcome of any such proposal.

The Closing is conditioned on, among other things, the condition precedent proposals at the special meeting. The Advisory Charter Proposals are not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in the accompanying proxy statement.

It is important for you to note that, if the condition precedent proposals do not receive the requisite vote for approval, we will not consummate the business combination. If we do not consummate the business combination and fail to complete an initial business combination by September 30, 2020, we will be required to dissolve and liquidate our trust account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the public stockholders.

Recommendation to Stockholders

Our Board believes that each of the condition precedent proposals to be presented at the special meeting is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders and unanimously recommends that its stockholders vote “FOR” each of the proposals and “FOR” each of the director nominees.

When you consider the recommendation of our Board in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor and certain of its affiliates and certain members of our Board and officers have interests in the business combination that are different from or in addition to (or which may conflict with) your interests as a stockholder. Stockholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the proposals presented at the special meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal. These interests include, among other things:

•        the fact that the Sponsor has agreed not to redeem any of the founder shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination;

•        the fact that the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for the founder shares and those shares will have a significantly higher value at the time of the business combination, which if unrestricted and freely tradable would be valued at approximately $[          ] based on the closing price of our Class A common stock on Nasdaq on [    ], 2020, but, given the restrictions on those shares, we believe those shares have less value;

•        the fact that the Sponsor has agreed to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to its founder shares if we fail to complete an initial business combination by September 30, 2020;

•        the fact that the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $5,550,000 for its 555,000 private placement units, and if a business combination is not consummated by September 30, 2020, the proceeds from the sale of the private placement units will be used to fund the redemption of public shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the private placement units, private placement shares and private placement warrants will be worthless;

•        the fact that if the trust account is liquidated, including if we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be jointly and severally liable to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced below $10.00 per public share, or such lesser per public share amount as is in the trust account on the liquidation date, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which we have discussed entering into an acquisition agreement or claims of any third party for services rendered or products sold to us, but only if the target business or vendor has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the trust account;

•        the anticipated appointment of our Co-Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Director, David Boris, as a director of the post-combination company;

•        the continued indemnification of our existing directors and officers and the continuation of our directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the business combination;

•        the fact that the Sponsor will place the Sponsor Earnout Shares into escrow and subject the Sponsor Earnout Shares to the vesting conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement;

94

•        the fact that the Sponsor and our officers and directors will lose their entire investment in us and will not be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses or repaid the Extension Note or Working Capital Loans, if any, if an initial business combination is not consummated by September 30, 2020; and

•        the fact that at the Closing we will enter into the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, which provides for registration rights to the Investors and their permitted transferees.

Broker Non-Votes and Abstentions

A stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the special meeting (which would include voting at the virtual special meeting) will not be counted towards the number of shares of common stock required to validly establish a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established. Each of the failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person (which would include voting at the virtual special meeting), an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote on any of the condition precedent proposals and the Adjournment Proposal will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” any such proposal. Each of the failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person (which would include voting at the virtual special meeting), an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote on any of the Advisory Charter Proposals and the Director Election Proposal will have no effect on the outcome of any such proposal.

In general, if your shares are held in “street” name and you do not instruct your broker, bank or other nominee on a timely basis on how to vote your shares, your broker, bank or other nominee, in its sole discretion, may either leave your shares unvoted or vote your shares on routine matters, but not on any non-routine matters. A broker non-vote will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the condition precedent proposals and the Adjournment Proposal. A broker non-vote on any of the Advisory Charter Proposals and the Director Election Proposal will have no effect on the outcome of any such proposal. None of the proposals at the special meeting are routine matters. As such, without your voting instructions, your brokerage firm cannot vote your shares on any proposal to be voted on at the special meeting.

Voting Your Shares — Stockholders of Record

If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote by mail or at the special meeting. Each share of our common stock that you own in your name entitles you to one vote on each of the proposals on which you are entitled to vote at the special meeting. Your one or more proxy cards show the number of shares of our common stock that you own.

Voting by Mail.    You can vote your shares by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. By signing the proxy card and returning it in the enclosed prepaid and addressed envelope, you are authorizing the individuals named on the proxy card to vote your shares at the special meeting in the manner you indicate. We encourage you to sign and return the proxy card even if you plan to attend the special meeting so that your shares will be voted if you are unable to attend the special meeting. If you receive more than one proxy card, it is an indication that your shares are held in multiple accounts. Please sign and return all proxy cards to ensure that all of your shares are voted. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares of our common stock will be voted as recommended by our Board. Our Board recommends voting “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the Nasdaq Proposal, “FOR” the Charter Proposal, “FOR” the Advisory Charter Proposals, “FOR” the Director Election Proposal, “FOR” the Incentive Plan Proposal and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal. Votes submitted by mail must be received by [             ], 2020.

Voting at the Special Meeting.    If you attend the special meeting, you may also submit your vote at the special meeting via the special meeting website at http://[                ], in which case any votes that you previously submitted by mail will be superseded by the vote that you cast at the special meeting. See “— Registering for the Special Meeting” above for further details on how to attend the special meeting.

Voting Your Shares — Beneficial Owners

If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and this proxy statement is being sent to you by that broker, bank or other nominee. The broker, bank or other nominee holding your account is considered to be the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the special meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee regarding how to vote the shares in your account by following the instructions that the broker, bank or other nominee provides you along with this proxy statement. As a beneficial owner, if you wish to vote at the special meeting, you

95

will need to obtain a legal proxy from your bank, broker, or other nominee and e-mail a copy (a legible photograph is sufficient) of the legal proxy to proxy@continentalstock.com. You will then be issued a 12-digit meeting control number that will allow you to register to attend and participate in the special meeting. Please see “Registering for the Special Meeting above for further details on how to attend the special meeting.

Revoking Your Proxy

If you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before the special meeting or at the special meeting by doing any one of the following:

•        delivering a signed written notice of revocation to our Secretary at Forum Merger II Corporation 1615 South Congress Avenue, Suite 103, Delray Beach, Florida 33445, bearing a date later than the date of the proxy, stating that the proxy is revoked;

•        signing and delivering a new proxy, relating to the same shares and bearing a later date; or

•        attending and voting at the special meeting and voting, although attendance at the special meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy.

If you are a beneficial owner of our common stock as of the close of business on the record date, you must follow the instructions of your broker, bank or other nominee to revoke or change your voting instructions.

No Additional Matters

The special meeting has been called only to consider the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the Advisory Charter Proposals, the Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal. Under our current bylaws, other than procedural matters incident to the conduct of the special meeting, no other matters may be considered at the special meeting if they are not included in this proxy statement, which serves as the notice of the special meeting.

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to our current charter, holders of public shares may elect to have their shares redeemed for cash at the applicable redemption price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the aggregate amount on deposit in the trust account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the transaction, including interest not previously released to us to pay our taxes, by (ii) the total number of then-outstanding public shares. If demand is properly made and the business combination is consummated, these shares, immediately prior to the business combination, will cease to be outstanding and will represent only the right to receive a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the trust account which holds the proceeds of our IPO (calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the business combination, less franchise and income taxes payable). For illustrative purposes, based on the fair value of marketable securities held in the trust account of approximately $207,235,255 as of March 31, 2020, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.36.

96

In order to exercise your redemption rights, you must:

•        (a) hold public shares or (b) hold public shares through units and you elect to separate your units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares; and

•        prior to [        ], Eastern time, on [             ], 2020, (a) submit a written request to the Transfer Agent that the Company redeem your public shares for cash and (b) deliver your public shares to the Transfer Agent, physically or electronically through DTC.

Stockholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their shares in “street name” are required to either tender their certificates to our Transfer Agent prior to the date set forth in these proxy materials, or up to two business days prior to the vote on the proposal to approve the business combination at the special meeting, or to deliver their shares to the Transfer Agent electronically using DTC’s DWAC system, at the stockholder’s option. The requirement for physical or electronic delivery prior to the special meeting ensures that a redeeming stockholder’s election to redeem is irrevocable once the business combination is approved.

Holders of outstanding units must separate the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. Any demand for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests and thereafter, with our consent, until the Closing.

If you hold units registered in your own name, you must deliver the certificate for those units to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our Transfer Agent, with written instructions to separate those units into public shares and public warrants. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit the mailing of the public share certificates back to you so that you may then exercise your redemption rights upon the separation of the public shares from the units.

If a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee holds your units, you must instruct the nominee to separate your units. Your nominee must send written instructions by facsimile to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our Transfer Agent. The written instructions must include the number of units to be split and the nominee holding your units. Your nominee must also initiate electronically, using DTC’s DWAC system, a withdrawal of the relevant units and a deposit of an equal number of public shares and public warrants. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit your nominee to exercise your redemption rights upon the separation of the public shares from the units. While this is typically done electronically on the same business day, you should allow at least one full business day to accomplish the separation. If you fail to cause your public shares to be separated in a timely manner, you will likely not be able to exercise your redemption rights. Any demand for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests and thereafter, with our consent, until the Closing.

Each redemption of shares of Class A common stock by our public stockholders will reduce the amount in our trust account, which held marketable securities with a fair value of approximately $207,235,255 as of March 31, 2020. The Merger Agreement provides that Ittella Parent’s obligation to consummate the business combination is conditioned on cash consideration available for payment to the Ittella Parent securityholders is at least $50,000,000. This condition to closing in the Merger Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties thereto and may be waived in writing by Ittella Parent. If, as a result of redemptions of public shares by our public stockholders, this condition is not met (or waived), then Ittella Parent may elect not to consummate the business combination. In addition, in no event will we redeem shares of our Class A common stock in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 upon consummation of the business combination.

97

Prior to exercising redemption rights, stockholders should verify the market price of our Class A common stock as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their Class A common stock in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. We cannot assure you that you will be able to sell your shares of our Class A common stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in our Class A common stock when you wish to sell your shares.

If you exercise your redemption rights, your shares of our Class A common stock will cease to be outstanding immediately prior to the business combination and will only represent the right to receive a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the trust account. You will no longer own those shares and will have no right to participate in, or have any interest in, the future growth of the post-combination company, if any. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you properly and timely demand redemption.

If the business combination is not approved and we do not consummate an initial business combination by September 30, 2020, we will be required to dissolve and liquidate our trust account by returning the then remaining funds in the account to the public stockholders and our warrants will expire worthless.

Appraisal Rights

Appraisal rights are not available to holders of shares of our common stock in connection with the business combination.

Proxy Solicitation Costs

The Company is soliciting proxies on behalf of its Board. This proxy solicitation is being made by mail, but also may be made by telephone or in person. The Company has engaged Morrow to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the special meeting. The Company and its directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person. The Company will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward the proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions.

The Company will bear the entire cost of the proxy solicitation, including the preparation, assembly, printing, mailing and distribution of the proxy materials. The Company will pay Morrow a fee of $22,500, plus disbursements, reimburse Morrow for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and indemnify Morrow and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses for their services as our proxy solicitor. We will reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding the proxy materials to our stockholders. Directors, officers and employees of the Company who solicit proxies will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies.

PROPOSAL NO. 1 — THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL

We are asking our stockholders to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the business combination. Our stockholders should read carefully this proxy statement in its entirety for more detailed information concerning the Merger Agreement and First Amendment, which are attached as Annex A-1 and Annex A-2, respectively, to this proxy statement. Please see the subsection entitled “The Merger Agreement” below for additional information and a summary of certain terms of the Merger Agreement. You are urged to read carefully the Merger Agreement in its entirety before voting on this proposal.

We may consummate the business combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the business combination at the special meeting.

The Merger Agreement

This subsection of the proxy statement describes the material provisions of the Merger Agreement, but does not purport to describe all of the terms of the Merger Agreement. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Merger Agreement and First Amendment, which are attached as Annex A-1 and Annex A-2, respectively, hereto. You are urged to read the Merger Agreement in its entirety because it is the primary legal document that governs the business combination.

The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of the Merger Agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the Merger Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement are also modified in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules, which we refer to as the “Schedules,” which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to stockholders and were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. We do not believe that the Schedules contain information that is material to an investment decision.

General Description of the Merger Agreement

On June 11, 2020, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement with Merger Sub, Ittella Parent and Salvatore Galletti, in his capacity as the holder representative, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, Merger Sub will be merged into Ittella Parent, with Ittella Parent continuing as the surviving entity. It is intended that such merger be treated as a “reorganization” described in Section 368(a) of the Code and that the Merger Agreement be treated as a “plan or reorganization” for purposes of Section 368 of the Code. After giving effect to the business combination, the Ittella Parent securityholders will hold a portion of common stock.

The Merger Agreement was amended on August 10, 2020 by the First Amendment to the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Annex A-2 to this proxy statement, which was entered by the Company, Merger Sub, Ittella Parent and the Holder Representative, to make certain revisions including to (i) identify an updated delivery deadline for the PCAOB Financials by Ittella Parent to the Company as August 14, 2020, (ii) address a scrivener’s error in the form of Registration Rights Agreement and add Project Lily, LLC as a party thereto, (iii) reflect White & Case LLP as primary counsel to the Company following the signing of the Merger Agreement, (iv) change the Termination Date in the Merger Agreement to November 15, 2020 and (v) carve out any Indebtedness of the Company or its Subsidiaries paid off at Closing through the funds flow from the definition of “Additional Available Cash Consideration” in Annex I of the Merger Agreement.

The Company has agreed to provide its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem public shares in conjunction with a stockholder vote on the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the business combination, in accordance with the Company’s governing documents.

Consideration to Ittella Parent Securityholders in the Business Combination

The aggregate consideration payable at the Closing to the Ittella Parent securityholders is the Closing Merger Consideration. The Closing is expected to take place in early October, as soon as practicable after the special meeting, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions in the Merger Agreement. The Closing Merger Consideration is required to comprise between $50,000,000 and $75,000,000 in cash, with the remainder of the Closing Merger Consideration comprising common stock, valued at $10.00 per share. The Holdback Shares are payable after the Closing to the Ittella Parent stockholders upon satisfaction of the following conditions within the first three years

99

after the Closing: (i) if the trading price of common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 on any 20 trading days in any 30-day trading period, then 2,500,000 Holdback Shares will be released to the Ittella Parent stockholders, or (ii) if the trading price of common stock equals or exceeds $14.00 on any 20 trading days in any 30-day trading period, then 2,500,000 Holdback Shares will be released to the Ittella Parent stockholders. If a change in control occurs within the first three years after the Closing, all Holdback Shares not previously released will be released to the Ittella Parent stockholders. If the conditions to release of the Holdback Shares are not satisfied within the first three years of Closing, the Holdback Shares are forfeited. The Sponsor has agreed that, at the Closing, it will place 2,500,000 founder shares held by it into escrow. The vesting, release and forfeiture terms of the Sponsor Earnout Shares are the same as the vesting, release and forfeiture terms applicable to the Holdback Shares, with 50% of the Sponsor Earnout Shares vesting at each Share Price Trigger, and all Sponsor Earnout Shares released if a change of control occurs, in each case, within the first three years after the Closing. If the conditions to the release of any Sponsor Earnout Shares are not satisfied on or prior to the date that it is finally determined that the Ittella Parent stockholders are not entitled to or eligible to receive any further Holdback Releases as defined in, and pursuant to, the Merger Agreement, the Sponsor Earnout Shares will be forfeited by the Sponsor on that date. The Company and the Holder Representative have agreed that, at the Closing, the Company will place 100,000 shares of common stock into an adjustment escrow account. Following the date on which the Closing Merger Consideration is finally determined, all or a portion of the Adjustment Escrow Stock will either be released to the Ittella Parent stockholders or released to the Company in accordance with the adjustment mechanisms set forth in Section 3.5 of the Merger Agreement.

Material Adverse Effect

Under the Merger Agreement, certain representations and warranties of Ittella Parent and the Company are qualified in whole or in part by a material adverse effect standard for purposes of determining whether a breach of the representations and warranties has occurred and, in turn, whether the obligations of the Company, Merger Sub, and Ittella Parent to consummate the business combination.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, a “Material Adverse Effect” means any event, change, development, effect or occurrence that has, or would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on (a) the business, results of operations, assets, liabilities or condition (financial or otherwise) of Ittella Parent and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole; provided, however, that in no event will any of the following (or the effect of any of the following), alone or in combination, be deemed to constitute, or be taken into account in determining whether there has been or will be, a “Material Adverse Effect”: (i) any change in law, regulatory policies, accounting standards or principles (including GAAP) or any guidance relating thereto or enforcement philosophy or interpretation thereof, (ii) any change in interest rates or economic, political, business or financial market conditions generally (including any changes in credit, financial, commodities, securities or banking markets), (iii) any change generally affecting any of the industries in which Ittella Parent or any of its subsidiaries operates or the economy as a whole, including any change in commodity prices, (iv) any acts of terrorism, war or the outbreak or escalation of armed hostilities, or (v) any failure, in and of itself, of Ittella Parent or its subsidiaries to meet any projections, forecasts or budgets, provided, that, this clause (v) shall not prevent a determination that any event, change, development, effect or occurrence underlying such failure to meet projections or forecasts has resulted in a Material Adverse Effect (to the extent such change or effect is not otherwise excluded from this definition of Material Adverse Effect); except, in the case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, to the extent that any such event, change, development, effect or occurrence has a materially disproportionate and adverse effect on the business of Ittella Parent and its subsidiaries relative to other businesses in the industries in which Ittella Parent and its subsidiaries operate, taken as a whole; or (b) the ability of Ittella Parent or any of its subsidiaries, to enter into, to perform its obligations under, or to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, a “Parent Material Adverse Effect” means any event, change, development, effect or occurrence that has, or would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company and Merger Sub to enter into, to perform its respective obligations under, or to consummate the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event will any of the following (or the effect of any of the following), alone or in combination, be deemed to constitute, or be taken into account in determining whether there has been or will be, a “Parent Material Adverse Effect”: (i) any change in law, regulatory policies, accounting standards or principles (including GAAP) or any guidance relating thereto or enforcement philosophy or interpretation thereof, (ii) any change in interest rates or economic, political, business or financial market conditions generally (including any changes in credit, financial, commodities, securities or banking markets), (iii) any change generally affecting any of the industries in which the Company and Merger Sub, Ittella Parent or any of its subsidiaries operate or the economy as a whole, including any change in commodity prices, (iv) any acts of terrorism, war or the outbreak or escalation of

100

armed hostilities, or (v) any failure, in and of itself, of the Company and Merger Sub, Ittella Parent or its subsidiaries to meet any projections, forecasts or budgets, provided, that, this clause (v) shall not prevent a determination that any event, change, development, effect or occurrence underlying the failure to meet projections or forecasts has resulted in a Parent Material Adverse Effect (to the extent the change or effect is not otherwise excluded from this definition of Parent Material Adverse Effect); except, in the case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, to the extent that any such event, change, development, effect or occurrence has a materially disproportionate and adverse effect on the businesses of the Company and Merger Sub, Ittella Parent and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, relative to other businesses in the industries in which the Company and Merger Sub, Ittella Parent and its subsidiaries operate, taken as a whole.

Closing and Effective Time of the Business Combination

Background of the Business Combination

We are a blank check company that was incorporated in Delaware on May 4, 2018 formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses. The business combination was the result of an extensive search for a potential transaction utilizing the global network and investing and operating experience of our management team and board of directors. The terms of the business combination were the result of extensive negotiations between our management team, Ittella Parent, Harrison, and Jefferies. The following is a brief description of the background of these negotiations, the business combination and related transactions.

Prior to the consummation of our IPO, neither we, nor anyone on our behalf, contacted any prospective target business or had any substantive discussions, formal or otherwise, with respect to a transaction with us.

The prospectus for our IPO states that we intended to use the following general criteria for potential target companies as guidelines:

•        a middle market business with an enterprise value of approximately $500 million to $2 billion;

•        strong public market comparables to establish that the valuation of our initial business combination is attractive relative to these public companies;

•        an established company with a proven track record;

111

•        proven revenue and earnings growth or the potential for revenue and earnings growth;

•        an experienced management team;

•        operations in a sector that was exhibiting secular growth or had the potential for a cyclical uptick; and

•        an ability to benefit from becoming a public company by being able to effectively utilize the broader access to capital and the increased public profile associated with being a public company.

Following our IPO, we searched for business combination candidates. As part of the search process, we contacted and were contacted by a number of individuals and entities with respect to business combination opportunities and engaged with several possible target businesses in discussions with respect to potential transactions.

During that period, Marshall Kiev and David Boris:

•        evaluated approximately 325 companies as possible targets to establish if the target fit the acquisition criteria stated above;

•        entered into Confidentiality Agreements with 40 companies (including Ittella Parent); and

•        submitted non-binding Letters of Intent to six companies (including Ittella Parent) (collectively, the “Potential Targets”).

We ultimately decided to discontinue discussions with the Potential Targets other than Ittella after conducting further due diligence on the Potential Targets and negotiating the terms of a potential business combination with them. In some circumstances, we did not agree with the desired valuations proposed by such Potential Targets’ sellers. We most actively pursued two Potential Targets other than Ittella, which process included meeting with their respective management teams, conducting site visits, submitting valuations and/or engaging in discussions regarding the same. These two Potential Targets were (1) a technology enabled services company, (2) a business services company focused on the financial services sector. Following that process, Ittella emerged as a frontrunner to pursue a business combination.

Immediately after completion of our IPO, our Co-CEOs, Marshall Kiev and David Boris, began contacting owners of firms that could be potential partners in a business combination. This outreach included conversations and meetings with numerous private equity firms, family offices and investment banks, including EarlyBirdCapital (“EarlyBird”), an underwriter of both our and Forum Merger’s initial public offerings. On March 17, 2020 a representative of EarlyBirdCapital contacted Mr. Boris regarding a potential opportunity for us with a plant-based food company that had many of the characteristics that we were seeking in a merger partner. Mr. Boris expressed an interest in learning more about this opportunity and representatives from EarlyBird arranged a discussion with representatives at Harrison, the investment bank representing Ittella Parent.

On March 23, 2020 we entered into a confidentially agreement with Ittella and received preliminary information about Ittella the following day. On March 25, Mr. Boris and representatives of Harrison discussed the business strategy and financial performance of Ittella and the possible structure of a business combination with us. From March 25 through April 1, 2020 Mr. Boris and Mr. Kiev had discussions with their financial advisors at Jefferies about the plant-based food industry and the potential business combination. After conferring with Jefferies, our management felt that Ittella provided an attractive opportunity for our stockholders and decided to make a non-binding proposal to Ittella. On April 1, 2020 we submitted an outline of a possible deal structure to Harrison. On April 8, Mr. Boris and Mr. Kiev, together with representatives of Jefferies, spoke with representatives of Harrison on a number of topics including, but not limited to, valuation of Ittella, recent financial performance, the impact of the COVID-19 virus on the sales and operations of Ittella and the key differences between a merger with us and a traditional IPO. During this conversation, Harrison noted that Ittella Parent was preparing updated financial forecasts and would share that information with us when it was available. On April 11, we received updated and revised financial projections. Based on the review of the materials provided our discussions with Harrison, we provided Ittella with a revised business combination proposal on April 14.

From April 14 through April 24, we had numerous discussions with Harrison, Jefferies and our legal advisors at Winston & Strawn LLP (“Winston”). On April 25, we submitted a Letter of Intent to Ittella with respect to a business combination. On May 2, 2020 Mr. Garbers indicated to Mr. Boris that Ittella would accept the general terms of the proposed merger. From May 2 through May 4, the parties revised the Letter of Intent which was executed on May 4. On May 13 and again on May 19, we and our legal and financial advisors had a video meeting with senior management

112

at Ittella including Sam Galletti, CEO, Stephanie Dieckmann, COO/CFO, Sarah Galletti, Creative Director, and their legal and financial advisors. Topics discussed in this meeting included, but were not limited to, a detailed discussion of the financial and operating performance of Ittella, plans for future products, any impact of the COVID-19 virus at the facilities located in California and Italy, and the timing of the proposed combination. On May 20, we had a video tour lead by Ms. Dieckmann and Giuseppe Bardari, the president of Ittella Italy, which included an overview of the production facilities in California and Italy with a discussion including, but not limited to, food safety protocols, the supply chain for each facility and production expansion opportunities.

During May and June 2020, we and our advisors conducted due diligence with respect to Ittella and negotiated the merger agreement. On June 11, 2020, we entered into the Merger Agreement. On June 12, 2020, we issued a press release announcing our entry into the Merger Agreement and filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC.

The Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination

The Board, in evaluating the transaction with Ittella Parent, consulted with the Company’s management and its legal counsel, financial advisors and other advisors. In reaching its unanimous resolution (i) that the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and the business combination are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and (ii) to recommend that the stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the business combination, the Board considered and evaluated a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the factors discussed below. In light of the number and wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the business combination, the Board did not consider it practicable to, and did not attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors that it considered in reaching its determination and supporting its decision. The Board viewed its decision as being based on all of the information available and the factors presented to and considered by it. In addition, individual directors may have given different weight to different factors. This explanation of the Company’s reasons for the business combination and all other information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

The Board considered a number of factors pertaining to the business combination as generally supporting its decision to enter into the Merger Agreement and the business combination, including but not limited to, the following material factors:

•        Leading Middle-Market Business and Attractive Financial Profile.    Ittella Parent is a rapidly-growing plant-based food company offering a broad portfolio of innovative frozen foods. It supplies plant-based products to leading retailers in the United States, with signature products such as ready-to-cook bowls, zucchini spirals, riced cauliflower, acai and smoothie bowls, and cauliflower crust pizza. Its products are available both in private label and its “Tattooed Chef” brand in the frozen food section of retail food stores. According to National Frozen & Refrigerated Foods Association, in the 52 weeks ending June 29, 2019, sales of frozen food products in North America totalled approximately $55 billion, an increase of approximately $918 million compared to the comparable period for 2018.

•        Proven Track Record and Strong Management Team.    Ittella Parent is led by its President and CEO, Salvatore “Sam” Galletti, who has over 35 years of experience in the food industry as both a manager and an investor, and Sarah Galletti, its Creative Director and the creator of the Tattooed Chef brand, who was instrumental in changing Ittella Parent’s focus to plant-based food products in 2017. Stephanie Dieckmann serves as Ittella Parent’s Chief Operations Officer and is the acting Chief Financial Officer. Prior to joining Ittella Parent, Ms. Dieckmann spent 12 years in the food industry, including seven years as the chief financial officer of APPA Fine Foods Inc. Ittella Parent’s executive management team includes individuals who possess substantial industry experience. Cumulatively, its management team has over 160 years of industry experience, with an average of 25 years’ experience in the food industry, and an average tenure with Ittella Parent of seven years.

•        Strong Competitive Position.    Ittella Parent’s innovative food offerings converge with consumer trends and demands for great-tasting, wholesome, plant-based foods made from sustainably sourced ingredients, including preferences for flexitarian, vegetarian, vegan, organic, and gluten-free lifestyles. As of June 30, 2020, Ittella Parent’s products were sold in approximately 4,000 retail outlets in the United States. We believe that Ittella Parent’s intellectual property has substantial value and has contributed significantly to the success of its business.

113

•        Opportunity for Significant Revenue and Earnings Growth.    Ittella Parent operates in the large global food industry. According to the Plant Based Foods Association and The Good Food Institute, sales in the United States of plant-based alternatives exceeded $5 billion for the 52 weeks ending December 2019, representing growth of slightly over 11% compared to the comparable time period for 2018. Furthermore, in the 16 week period ending April 19, 2020, total plant-based food sales grew approximately 30% faster than total retail sales. To capture the significant market opportunity, Ittella Parent focuses on manufacturing, product innovation and distinctive flavor profiles that appeal to a broad range of consumers. It creates and develops new products to address emerging market demands and food trends for healthy, plant-based foods. Ittella Parent’s track record of delivering innovative food concepts in both branded and private label has strengthened and expanded relationships with its existing customers as well as attracted new customers. As of June 30, 2020, it has approximately 100 plant-based food concepts and recipes that are under development. The growth of Ittella Parent’s Tattooed Chef branded products will be a key driver of revenue growth through new product launches and additional customers. We believe that as this product line grows, Ittella Parent will be able to achieve economies of scale and margin improvement.

•        Benefit from Being a Public Company.    We believe that Ittella Parent under new public ownership will have the flexibility and financial resources to pursue and execute a growth strategy to increase revenues and shareholder value. We believe Ittella Parent will benefit from being publicly traded and will be able to effectively utilize the broader access to capital and public profile that are associated with being a publicly traded company.

Our Board also considered a variety of uncertainties and risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the business combination, including, but not limited to, the following:

•        Reliance on Senior Management.    Ittella Parent’s success is substantially dependent on the continued service of certain members its senior management, including Mr. Galletti, Ittella Parent’s founder, President and Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Dieckmann, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and Ms. Galletti, the “Tattooed Chef” and Ittella Parent’s Creative Director. These executives have been primarily responsible for determining the strategic direction of Ittella Parent’s business and for executing its growth strategy and are integral to Ittella Parent’s brand, culture, product development and the reputation it enjoys with suppliers, co-manufacturers, distributors, customers and consumers. In particular, Ms. Galletti is responsible for leading Ittella Parent’s branding initiatives, creative strategy, and product development, and there is no other current employee who can lead these functions if Ms. Galletti is unable to provide services to Ittella Parent. In addition, Mr. Galletti and Ms. Galletti are the primary sales and marketing contacts for Ittella Parent’s customers. The loss of the services of any of these executives could adversely affect Ittella Parent’s business, relationship with key customers and suppliers, branding, creative strategies, and prospects, as it may not be able to find suitable individuals to replace them on a timely basis, if at all. In addition, any such departure could be viewed in a negative light by investors and analysts, which may cause the price of any publicly traded securities of Ittella Parent to decline. Ittella Parent does not currently carry key-person life insurance for any of its management team.

•        Customer Concentration Risk.    Ittella Parent is subject to customer concentration risk, with five customers accounting for approximately 95% of its revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019. The five customers individually accounted for approximately 35%, 29%, 11%, 10% and 10% of Ittella Parent’s 2019 total revenues, respectively. Accordingly, any factor adversely affecting sales generally in these customers (such as competitive pressures, declining sales, or store closings, among others), or any reduction or elimination by these customers of carrying Ittella Parent’s products, could materially and adversely affect Ittella Parent’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

•        Supply Chain Dependence.    Ittella Parent’s financial performance depends in large part on its ability to purchase raw materials in sufficient quantities and of acceptable quality at competitive prices. There can be no assurance on the availability of continued supply or stable pricing of raw materials. Any of Ittella Parent’s suppliers could discontinue or seek to alter their relationship with Ittella Parent. While Ittella Parent does have commitments with many of its suppliers of raw materials, these commitments do not insulate Ittella Parent committed crops from inclement weather, insects, disease, or other harvesting problems.

114

•        Food Safety and Food-Borne Illness Incidents.    The occurrence of food-borne illnesses or other food safety incidents, whether real or perceived, could adversely affect the price and availability of affected ingredients, resulting in higher costs, disruptions in supply and a reduction in sales. Furthermore, any instances of food contamination or regulatory noncompliance, whether or not caused by Ittella Parent, could compel Ittella Parent, its suppliers and the Company’s customers, depending on the circumstances, to conduct a recall in accordance with FDA or MOH regulations, comparable state and locality laws, or international laws.

•        Highly Competitive Market.    Ittella Parent operates in a highly competitive market. Numerous brands and products compete for limited retailer shelf space and consumers. In this market, competition is based on, among other things, taste, ingredients, texture, ease of integration into the consumer diet, nutritional claims, convenience, brand recognition and loyalty, product variety, product packaging and package design, shelf space, reputation and perception, price, advertising, intellectual property protection on products, and consumer tastes and preferences.

•        Distribution Channel Expansion.    Ittella Parent’s results will depend on its ability to drive revenue growth, in part, by expanding the distribution channels for its products and the number of products carried by each retailer. Ittella Parent’s ability to do so, however, may be limited by an inability to secure additional retail space for its products. Retail space for frozen products is limited and is subject to competitive and other pressures, and there can be no assurance that retail stores will provide sufficient space to enable Ittella Parent to meet its growth objectives.

•        Geographic Concentration Risk.    Ittella Parent operates mainly in the United States and sells its products primarily in the United States and, therefore, is particularly susceptible to adverse regulations, economic climate, consumer trends, market fluctuations, and other adverse events in the United States. The concentration of its businesses in the United States could present challenges and may increase the likelihood that an adverse event in the United States would adversely affect its product sales, financial condition and operating results.

•        Impact of COVID-19.    The extent of COVID-19’s effect on Ittella Parent’s operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration, spread and intensity of the outbreak, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict considering the rapidly evolving landscape. As a result, it is not currently possible to ascertain the overall impact of COVID-19 on Ittella Parent’s business. However, if the pandemic continues to evolve into a severe worldwide health crisis, the disease could adversely affect Ittella Parent’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

In addition to considering the factors described above, the Board also considered the following:

Interests of Certain Persons.    Certain members of the Board and our officers have interests in the transaction that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of our other stockholders (see “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination”). The Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the transaction and transaction agreements and in recommending to our stockholders that they vote in favor of the proposals presented at the special meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal.

The Board concluded that the potential benefits that it expected the Company and its stockholders to achieve as a result of the business combination outweighed the potentially negative factors associated with the business combination. Accordingly, the Board unanimously determined that the Merger Agreement and the business combination were advisable, and in the best interests of, the Company and its stockholders.

Satisfaction of 80% Test

It is a requirement under the current charter and Nasdaq rules that the business or assets acquired in our initial business combination have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the trust account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the trust account) at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for our initial business combination. As of June 11, 2020, the date of the execution of the Merger Agreement, the fair value of marketable securities held in the trust account was

115

approximately $ 207,374,123.54 (excluding $7,000,000 of deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the trust account) and 80% thereof represents approximately $165,899,299.83. In reaching its conclusion that the business combination meets the 80% asset test, our Board reviewed the enterprise value of Ittella Parent of approximately $420,000,000 implied by adding the cash consideration to Ittella Parent securityholders of $75,000,000 (assuming no redemptions) and Ittella Parent securityholder equity of $345,000,000.

In determining whether the enterprise value described above represents the fair market value of Ittella Parent, the Board considered all of the factors described above in this section and the fact that the purchase price for Ittella Parent was the result of an arm’s length negotiation. As a result, the Board concluded that the fair market value of the business acquired was significantly in excess of 80% of the assets held in the trust account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the trust account).

Certain Company Projected Financial Information

In connection with the business combination, Ittella Parent prepared and Forum considered, among other things, financial projections for Ittella Parent for the year ending December 31, 2020 and 2021. This financial projection includes assumptions regarding, among other things, future revenue, earnings before tax, and capital expenditures. This financial projections speak only as of the date prepared and have not been, and will not be, updated. The financial projections were not provided with a view to public disclosure, is subject to significant economic, competitive, industry and other uncertainties and may not be achieved in full, at all or within projected timeframe. In addition, the failure to achieve projected results could result in a decrease to the post-combination company’s share price and could harm the post-combination company’s financial position following the business combination.

Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination

In considering the recommendation of our Board to vote in favor of the business combination, stockholders should be aware that aside from their interests as stockholders, the Sponsor and certain members of our Board and officers have interests in the business combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of other stockholders generally. Our Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating the business combination, and in recommending to stockholders that they approve the business combination. Stockholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the business combination.

These interests include, among other things:

•        the fact that the Sponsor has agreed not to redeem any of the founder shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination;

•        the fact that the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for the founder shares and these shares will have a significantly higher value at the time of the business combination, which if unrestricted and freely tradable would be valued at approximately $[            ] based on the closing price of our Class A common stock on Nasdaq on [    ], 2020, but, given the restrictions on these shares, we believe these shares have less value;

•        the fact that the Sponsor has agreed to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to its founder shares if we fail to complete an initial business combination by September 30, 2020;

•        the fact that the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $5,550,000 for its 555,000 private placement units, and if a business combination is not consummated by September 30, 2020, the proceeds from the sale of the private placement units will be used to fund the redemption of public shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the private placement units, private placement shares and private placement warrants will be worthless;

116

•        the fact that if the trust account is liquidated, including if we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be jointly and severally liable to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced below $10.00 per public share, or such lesser per public share amount as is in the trust account on the liquidation date, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which we have discussed entering into an acquisition agreement or claims of any third party for services rendered or products sold to us, but only if the target business or vendor has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the trust account;

•        the anticipated appointment of our Co-Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Director, David Boris, as a director of the post-combination company;

•        the continued indemnification of our existing directors and officers and the continuation of our directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the business combination;

•        the fact that the Sponsor will place the Sponsor Earnout Shares into escrow and subject the Sponsor Earnout Shares to the vesting conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement;

•        the fact that the Sponsor and our officers and directors will lose their entire investment in us and will not be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses or repaid the Extension Note or Working Capital Loans, if any, if an initial business combination is not consummated by September 30, 2020; and

•        the fact that at the Closing we will enter into the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, which provides for registration rights to the Investors and their permitted transferees.

These interests may influence our directors in making their recommendation that you vote in favor of the approval of the business combination.

Potential Purchases of Public Shares

The Sponsor or the Company’s or Ittella Parent’s directors, officers or advisors, or any of their respective affiliates, may purchase public shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market prior to the special meeting, although they are under no obligation to do so. Any such purchases that are completed after the record date for the special meeting may include an agreement with a selling stockholder that the stockholder, for so long as he, she or it remains the record holder of the shares in question, will vote in favor of the proposals presented at the special meeting and/or will not exercise its redemption rights with respect to the shares so purchased. The purpose of these share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of that the proposals to be voted upon at the special meeting are approved by the requisite number of votes. If the purchases do occur, the purchasers may seek to purchase shares from stockholders who would otherwise have voted against the Business Combination Proposal and elected to redeem their shares for a portion of the trust account. Any such privately negotiated purchases may be effected at purchase prices that are below or in excess of the per-share pro rata portion of the trust account. Any public shares held by or subsequently purchased by our affiliates may be voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals presented at the special meeting. None of the Sponsor, the Company’s directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller or during a restricted period under Regulation M under the Exchange Act.

Total Company Shares to be Issued in the Business Combination

We anticipate that, upon completion of the business combination, the approximate ownership interests of the Company will be as set forth in the table below:

(1)      Assumes that holders of 11,789,271 public shares exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Closing for $122,185,668 at a redemption price of $10.36 per share (based on approximately $207,235,255 held in trust as of March 31, 2020).

117

(2)      Includes 100,000 private placement shares held by the IPO underwriters.

(3)      Includes the Sponsor and Forum’s current officers and directors. Includes founder shares that are not Sponsor Earnout Shares. Founder shares will be converted into shares of common stock at the Closing on a one-for-one basis.

The ownership percentages set forth above were calculated based on the amounts set forth in the sources and uses table on pages 118 and 119 of this proxy statement do not take into account (i) warrants that will remain outstanding immediately following the business combination and may be exercised thereafter (commencing 30 days after the Closing); (ii) the Holdback Shares and the Sponsor Earnout Shares; or (iii) the issuance of any shares upon completion of the business combination under the Incentive Plan, substantially in the form attached to this proxy statement as Annex E, but does include founder shares that are not Sponsor Earnout Shares. Founder shares will be converted into shares of common stock at the Closing on a one-for-one basis.

If the actual facts are different than these assumptions, the percentage ownership retained by our public stockholders following the business combination will be different. The public warrants and private placement warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the business combination and will expire five years after the completion of the business combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. As described in “Summary Term Sheet” and elsewhere in this proxy statement, if the conditions to release of the Holdback Shares are not satisfied within the first three years of Closing, the Holdback Shares are forfeited. In addition, the Sponsor will place the Sponsor Earnout Shares into escrow (and subject those shares to the vesting conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement) and the Company will place 100,000 shares of common stock into an adjustment escrow account, as described above on pages 8-13. If the vesting conditions are not satisfied, then the Sponsor Earnout Shares will be forfeited and cancelled.

The issuance of 20% or more of our outstanding shares of common stock in connection with the Merger Agreement requires stockholder approval of the Nasdaq Proposal.

Board of Directors of the Company Following the Business Combination

Upon consummation of the business combination, our Board anticipates increasing its initial size from six directors to nine directors. In addition, assuming condition precedent proposals, including the Charter Proposal, are approved, upon the Closing, the board of directors will be reclassified from two classes to three classes and each Class I director, Class II director and Class III director will serve until immediately following the 2021, 2022 and 2023 annual meetings of Forum stockholders, as applicable, and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified. For additional information, please see the sections entitled “Proposal No. 6 — The Director Election Proposal.”

Certificate of Incorporation; Bylaws

Upon the Closing, the current charter will be amended to reflect:

•        that any amendment to provisions of the current charter and proposed bylaws will require the approval of the holders of at least 85% of the Company’s then-outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally at an election of directors; provided, that, at any time when, immediately prior to the filing and effectiveness of the proposed charter, the Ittella Parties beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than a majority of the total voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally at an election of directors, the reference to “85%” in the foregoing sentence shall be deemed to be amended and replaced with the words “66 2/3%”;

•        that the Company opts out of Section 203 of the DGCL, which prevents certain Delaware corporations, under certain circumstances, from engaging in a “business combination” with certain “interested stockholders” and their affiliates, and, instead, be governed by a provision substantially similar to Section 203 of the DGCL; for more information on Section 203 of the DGCL, see the section titled “Description of Securities — Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws”;

•        that the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the federal securities laws, including the Securities Act;

•        that, subject to the limitations imposed by applicable law, directors may be removed with cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 85% of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally at an election of directors; provided, that, at any time when the Ittella Parties beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than a majority of the total voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally at an election of directors, subject to any limitations imposed by applicable law, any individual director or directors may be removed with cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally at an election of directors;

•        eliminating various provisions applicable only to blank check companies; and

•        dividing the Board into three classes with staggered terms.

Name; Headquarters

The name of the post-combination company after the business combination will be Tattooed Chef, Inc. and our headquarters will be located in Paramount, CA.

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to the current charter, holders of public shares may elect to have their shares redeemed for cash at the applicable redemption price per share calculated in accordance with the current charter. As of the date of this proxy statement, this would have amounted to approximately $[ ] per share. If a holder exercises his, her or its redemption rights, then the holder will be exchanging his, her or its public shares for cash and will no longer own shares of the post-combination company. Such a holder will be entitled to receive cash for his, her or its public shares only if he, she or it properly demands redemption and delivers his, her or its shares (either physically or electronically) to our Transfer Agent in accordance with the procedures described herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of public shares, together with any affiliate of his, her or its or any other person with whom he, she or it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 15% of the shares of Class A common stock included in the units sold in our IPO without the consent of the Company. Accordingly, all public shares in excess of the 15% threshold beneficially owned by a public stockholder or group will not be redeemed for cash without the consent of the Company. We have no specified maximum redemption threshold under the current charter, other than the aforementioned 15% threshold. Each redemption of shares of Class A common stock by our public stockholders will reduce the amount in our trust account, which held marketable securities with a fair value of approximately $207,235,255 as of March 31. The Merger Agreement provides that Ittella Parent’s obligation to consummate the business combination is conditioned on cash consideration available for payment to the Ittella Parent securityholders is at least $50,000,000. This condition to closing in the Merger Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties thereto and may be waived in writing by Ittella Parent. If, as a result of redemptions of public shares by our public stockholders, this condition is not met (or waived), then Ittella Parent may elect not to consummate the business combination. In addition, in no event will we redeem shares of our Class A common stock in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 upon consummation of the business combination. Holders of our outstanding public warrants do not have redemption rights in connection with the business combination.

Any demand for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests and thereafter, with our consent, until the Closing. Please see the section entitled “Special Meeting of Stockholders — Redemption Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your shares for cash.

Appraisal Rights

Appraisal rights are not available to our stockholders in connection with the business combination.

120

Accounting Treatment

The business combination will be accounted for as a “reverse merger” in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting Forum will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination is primarily based on Ittella Parent Securityholders expecting to have a majority of the voting power of the combined company, Ittella Parent comprising the ongoing operations of the combined entity, Ittella Parent comprising a majority of the governing body of the combined company, and Ittella Parent’s senior management comprising the senior management of the combined company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the business combination will be treated as the equivalent of Ittella Parent issuing stock for the net assets of Forum, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Forum will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the business combination will be those of Forum.

Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations for Stockholders Exercising Redemption Rights

The following is a discussion of certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations for holders of our shares of Class A common stock that elect to have their Class A common stock redeemed for cash if the business combination is completed. This discussion applies only to Class A common stock that is held as a “capital asset” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This discussion does not describe all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to you in light of your particular circumstances, including the Medicare tax on certain investment income and the different consequences that may apply if you are subject to special rules that apply to certain types of investors, such as:

•        financial institutions or financial services entities;

•        broker-dealers;

•        governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;

•        persons that directly, indirectly or constructively own 5% or more (by vote or value) of our shares;

•        persons that acquired our Class A common stock pursuant to an exercise of employee share options, in connection with employee share incentive plans or otherwise as compensation;

•        insurance companies;

•        dealers or traders in securities subject to a mark-to-market method of accounting with respect to shares of Class A common stock;

•        persons holding Class A common stock as part of a “straddle,” constructive sale, hedge, conversion or other integrated transaction or similar transaction;

•        U.S. holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

•        U.S. expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States;

•        regulated investment companies (RICs) or real estate investment trusts (REITS);

•        persons subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code; partnerships (or entities or arrangements classified as partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes) and any beneficial owners of such entities; and

•        tax-exempt entities.

If you are a partnership (including an entity or arrangement classified as a partnership or other pass-through entity) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of your partners (or other owners) generally will depend on the status of the partners (or other owners) and your activities. If you are a partner (or other owner) in such an entity holding shares of Class A common stock, you are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of a redemption.

121

This discussion is based on the Code and administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and final, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations as of the date hereof, all of which are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis, and changes to any of which subsequent to the date of this proxy statement may affect the tax consequences described herein. This discussion does not address any aspect of state, local or non-U.S. taxation, or any U.S. federal taxes other than income taxes (such as gift and estate taxes).

We have not sought, and do not expect to seek, a ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree with the discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulations, administrative rulings or court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.

You are urged to consult your tax advisor with respect to the application of U.S. federal tax laws to your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. jurisdiction.

THIS DISCUSSION IS ONLY A SUMMARY OF CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE REDEMPTION OF OUR CLASS A COMMON STOCK. EACH INVESTOR IN OUR CLASS A COMMON STOCK IS URGED TO CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH INVESTOR OF THE REDEMPTION OF OUR CLASS A COMMON STOCK, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF ANY U.S. FEDERAL NON-INCOME, STATE, LOCAL, AND NON-U.S. TAX LAWS.

Redemption of Class A common stock

If a holder’s shares of Class A common stock are redeemed pursuant to the redemption provisions described in this proxy statement under the section entitled “Special Meeting of Stockholders — Redemption Rights,” the treatment of the redemption for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition (a “sale”) of Class A common stock under Section 302 of the Code. If the redemption qualifies as a sale of shares of Class A common stock, a U.S. holder (as defined below) will be treated as described below under the section entitled “U.S. holders — Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A common stock,” and a Non-U.S. holder (as defined below) will be treated as described under the section entitled “Non-U.S. holders — Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A common stock.” If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of shares of Class A common stock, a holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution, with the tax consequences to a U.S. holder described below under the section entitled “U.S. holders — Taxation of Distributions,” or the tax consequences to a Non-U.S. holder described below under the section entitled “Non-U.S. holders — Taxation of Distributions.”

Whether a redemption of shares of Class A common stock qualifies for sale treatment will depend largely on the total number of shares of our stock treated as held by the redeemed holder before and after the redemption (including any stock constructively owned by the holder as a result of owning private placement warrants or public warrants and any of our stock that a holder would directly or constructively acquire pursuant to the business combination) relative to all of our shares outstanding both before and after the redemption. The redemption of Class A common stock generally will be treated as a sale of Class A common stock (rather than as a corporate distribution) if the redemption (i) is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the holder, (ii) results in a “complete termination” of the holder’s interest in us or (iii) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the holder. These tests are explained more fully below.

In determining whether any of the foregoing tests result in a redemption qualifying for sale treatment, a holder takes into account not only shares of our stock actually owned by the holder, but also shares of our stock that are constructively owned by it under certain attribution rules set forth in the Code. A holder may constructively own, in addition to stock owned directly, stock owned by certain related individuals and entities in which the holder has an interest or that have an interest in such holder, as well as any stock that the holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which would generally include Class A common stock that could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of the private placement warrants or the public warrants. Moreover, any of our stock that a holder directly or constructively acquires pursuant to the business combination generally should be included in determining the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the redemption.

122

In order to meet the substantially disproportionate test, the percentage of our outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the holder immediately following the redemption of shares of Class A common stock must, among other requirements, be less than 80% of the percentage of our outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the holder immediately before the redemption (taking into account both redemptions by other holders of Class A common stock and any Class A common stock to be issued pursuant to the business combination). There will be a complete termination of a holder’s interest if either (i) all of the shares of our stock actually and constructively owned by the holder are redeemed or (ii) all of the shares of our stock actually owned by the holder are redeemed and the holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of stock owned by certain family members and the holder does not constructively own any other shares of our stock (including any stock constructively owned by the U.S. holder as a result of owning warrants). The redemption of Class A common stock will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if the redemption results in a “meaningful reduction” of the holder’s proportionate interest in us. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a holder’s proportionate interest in us will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. However, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority stockholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.”

If none of the foregoing tests is satisfied, then the redemption of shares of Class A common stock will be treated as a corporate distribution to the redeemed holder, with the tax effects to U.S. holders as described below under the section entitled “U.S. holders — Taxation of Distributions,” and the tax effects to Non-U.S. holders as described below under the section entitled “Non-U.S. holders — Taxation of Distributions.” After the application of those rules, any remaining tax basis of the holder in the redeemed Class A common stock will be added to the holder’s adjusted tax basis in its remaining stock, or, if it has none, to the holder’s adjusted tax basis in its warrants or possibly in other stock constructively owned by it.

A holder should consult with its own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of a redemption.

U.S. Holders

This section applies to you if you are a “U.S. holder.” A U.S. holder is a beneficial owner of our shares of Class A common stock who or that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

•        an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

•        a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

•        an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

•        a trust if (i) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more “United States persons” (within the meaning of the Code) have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (ii) the trust validly elected to be treated as a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Taxation of Distributions.    If our redemption of a U.S. holder’s shares of Class A common stock is treated as a distribution, as discussed above under the section entitled “Redemption of Class A common stock,” the amount of cash received in the redemption generally will constitute a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in our Class A common stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale of the Class A common stock and will be treated as described below under the section entitled “U.S. holders — Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A common stock.”

Dividends we pay to a U.S. holder that is a taxable corporation generally will qualify for the dividends received deduction if the requisite holding period is satisfied. With certain exceptions (including, but not limited to, dividends treated as investment income for purposes of investment interest deduction limitations), and provided certain holding period requirements are met, dividends we pay to a non-corporate U.S. holder may constitute “qualified dividend income” that will be subject to tax at the maximum tax rate accorded to long-term capital gains. It is unclear whether

123

the redemption rights with respect to the Class A common stock described in this proxy statement may prevent a U.S. holder from satisfying the applicable holding period requirements with respect to the dividends received deduction or the preferential tax rate on qualified dividend income, as the case may be. If the holding period requirements are not satisfied, then a corporation may not be able to qualify for the dividends received deduction and would have taxable income equal to the entire dividend amount, and non-corporate U.S. holders may be subject to tax on such dividend at regular ordinary income tax rates instead of the preferential rate that applies to qualified dividend income.

Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock.    If our redemption of a U.S. holder’s shares of Class A common stock is treated as a sale, as discussed above under the section entitled “Redemption of Class A common stock,” a U.S. holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares of Class A common stock redeemed. Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period for the Class A common stock so disposed of exceeds one year. It is unclear, however, whether the redemption rights with respect to the Class A common stock described in this proxy statement may suspend the running of the applicable holding period for this purpose. If the running of the holding period for the Class A common stock is suspended, then non-corporate U.S. holders may not be able to satisfy the one-year holding period requirement for long-term capital gain treatment, in which case any redemption proceeds treated as gain on a sale of the shares would be subject to short-term capital gain treatment and would be taxed at regular ordinary income tax rates. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. holders may be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Generally, the amount of gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder in a sale is an amount equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received in such sale and (ii) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Class A common stock so disposed of. A U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Class A common stock generally will equal the U.S. holder’s acquisition cost less any prior distributions paid to the U.S. holder with respect to its shares of Class A common stock that were treated as a return of capital.

U.S. holders who hold different blocks of Class A common stock (shares of Class A common stock purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) should consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them.

Non-U.S. Holders

This section applies to you if you are a “Non-U.S. holder.” A Non-U.S. holder is a beneficial owner of our Class A common stock who or that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

•        a non-resident alien individual, other than certain former citizens and residents of the United States subject to U.S. tax as expatriates;

•        a foreign corporation; or

•        an estate or trust that is not a U.S. holder.

Taxation of Distributions.    If our redemption of a Non-U.S. holder’s shares of Class A common stock is treated as a distribution, as discussed above under the section entitled “Redemption of Class A common stock,” to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), the amount of cash received pursuant such redemption will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, provided such dividends are not effectively connected with the Non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States, we will be required to withhold tax from the gross amount of the dividend at a rate of 30%, unless such Non-U.S. holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and timely provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E). Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing (but not below zero) the Non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares of our Class A common stock and, to the extent such distribution exceeds the Non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis, as gain realized from the sale of the Class A common stock, which will be treated as described below under the section entitled “Non-U.S. holders — Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock.”

124

Because it may not be certain at the time a Non-U.S. holder is redeemed whether such Non-U.S. holder’s redemption will be treated as a sale of shares or a distribution constituting a dividend, and because such determination will depend in part on a Non-U.S. holder’s particular circumstances, we or the applicable withholding agent may not be able to determine whether (or to what extent) a Non-U.S. holder is treated as receiving a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Therefore, we or the applicable withholding agent may withhold tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on the gross amount of any consideration paid to a Non-U.S. holder in redemption of such Non-U.S. holder’s Class A common stock, unless (i) we or the applicable withholding agent have established special procedures allowing Non-U.S. holders to certify that they are exempt from such withholding tax and (ii) such Non-U.S. holders are able to certify that they meet the requirements of such exemption (e.g., because such Non-U.S. holders are not treated as receiving a dividend under the Section 302 tests described above under the section entitled “Redemption of Class A common stock”). There can be no assurance, however, that we or any applicable withholding agent will establish such special certification procedures. If we or an applicable withholding agent withhold excess amounts from the amount payable to a Non-U.S. holder, such Non-U.S. holder generally may obtain a refund of any such excess amounts by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS. Non-U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the foregoing rules in light of their particular facts and circumstances and any applicable procedures or certification requirements.

The withholding tax described above generally does not apply to dividends paid to a Non-U.S. holder who provides an IRS Form W-8ECI, certifying that the dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States. Instead, the effectively connected dividends generally will be subject to regular U.S. federal income tax as if the Non-U.S. holder were a U.S. resident, subject to an applicable income tax treaty providing otherwise. A corporate Non-U.S. holder that is receiving effectively connected dividends may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” imposed at a rate of 30% (or a lower applicable treaty rate).

Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock.    If our redemption of a Non-U.S. holder’s shares of Class A common stock is treated as a sale, as discussed above under the section entitled “Redemption of Class A common stock,” a Non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax in respect of gain recognized in connection with such redemption, unless:

•        the gain is effectively connected with the conduct by the Non-U.S. holder of a trade or business within the United States (and, under certain income tax treaties, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the Non-U.S. holder);

•        such Non-U.S. holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year in which the disposition takes place and has a “tax home” in the United States; or

•        we are or have been a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the redemption or the period that the Non-U.S. holder held our Class A common stock, and, in the case where shares of our Class A common stock are regularly traded on an established securities market, the Non-U.S. holder has owned, directly or constructively, more than 5% of our Class A common stock at any time within the shorter of the five-year period preceding the redemption or the Non-U.S. holder’s holding period for the shares of our Class A common stock.

Unless an applicable treaty provides otherwise, gain described in the first bullet point above will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates as if the Non-U.S. holder were a U.S. resident. Any gains described in the first bullet point above of a corporate Non-U.S. holder may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” imposed at a 30% rate (or lower applicable treaty rate). If the second bullet point above applies to a Non-U.S. holder, such Non-U.S. holder generally will be subject to U.S. tax on such Non-U.S. holder’s net capital gain for such year (including any gain realized in connection with the redemption) at a tax rate of 30%.

If the third bullet point above applies to a Non-U.S. holder, gain recognized by such holder on the redemption of shares of our Class A common stock will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. In addition, we may be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 15% of the amount of cash received upon the redemption of shares of our Class A common stock. We believe that we are not and have not been at any time since our formation a United States real property holding corporation and we do not expect to be a United States real property holding corporation immediately after the business combination is completed.

125

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Payments resulting from our redemption of shares of Class A common stock may be subject to information reporting to the IRS and possible U.S. backup withholding. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes other required certifications, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding and establishes such exempt status.

A Non-U.S. Holder generally will eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreign status, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W-8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against a holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, and a holder generally may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by timely filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS and furnishing any required information.

FATCA Withholding Taxes

Provisions commonly referred to as “FATCA” impose withholding of 30% on payments of dividends (including constructive dividends received pursuant to a redemption of stock) on our Class A common stock. Thirty percent withholding under FATCA was scheduled to apply to payments of gross proceeds from the sale of property that produces U.S.-source interest or dividends beginning on January 1, 2019, but on December 13, 2018, the IRS released proposed regulations that, if finalized in their proposed form, would eliminate the obligation to withhold on gross proceeds. Although these proposed Treasury Regulations are not final, taxpayers generally may rely on them until final Treasury Regulations are issued.

In general, no FATCA withholding will be required with respect to a U.S. holder or an individual Non-U.S. holder that timely provides the certifications required on a valid IRS Form W-9 or W-8BEN, respectively. Holders potentially subject to withholding include “foreign financial institutions” (which is broadly defined for this purpose and in general includes investment vehicles) and certain other non-U.S. entities unless various U.S. information reporting and due diligence requirements (generally relating to ownership by United States persons of interests in or accounts with those entities) have been satisfied, or an exemption applies (typically certified as to by the delivery of a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN-E). If FATCA withholding is imposed, a beneficial owner that is not a foreign financial institution generally will be entitled to a refund of any amounts withheld by filing a U.S. federal income tax return (which may entail significant administrative burden). Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the effects of FATCA on a redemption of Class A common stock.

Regulatory Matters

Under the HSR Act and the rules that have been promulgated thereunder by the FTC, certain transactions may not be consummated unless information has been furnished to the Antitrust Division and the FTC and certain waiting period requirements have been satisfied.

At any time before or after consummation of the business combination, the applicable competition authorities could take such action under applicable antitrust laws as each deems necessary or desirable in the public interest, including seeking to enjoin the consummation of the business combination. Private parties may also seek to take legal action under the antitrust laws under certain circumstances. We cannot assure you that the Antitrust Division, the FTC, any state attorney general, or any other government authority will not attempt to challenge the business combination on antitrust grounds, and, if such a challenge is made, we cannot assure you as to its result. Neither the Company nor Ittella Parent is aware of any material regulatory approvals or actions that are required for completion of the business combination other than the expiration or early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act. The business combination was granted early termination of the HSR waiting period on July 7, 2020. It is presently contemplated that if any such additional regulatory approvals or actions are required, those approvals or actions will be sought. There can be no assurance, however, that any additional approvals or actions will be obtained.

126

Vote Required for Approval

The Closing is conditioned on, among other things, the approval of the condition precedent proposals at the special meeting. The Advisory Charter Proposals are not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in the accompanying proxy statement.

This Business Combination Proposal (and consequently, the Merger Agreement and the business combination) will be adopted and approved only if the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal. Failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person (which would include voting at the virtual special meeting), an abstention from voting, or a broker non-vote will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal.

As of the date of this proxy statement, the Sponsor has agreed to vote any shares of common stock owned by it in favor of the business combination. As of the date hereof, the Sponsor beneficially owns 21.65% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The Sponsor and our officers and directors have not purchased any public shares.

Recommendation of the Board

OUR BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT OUR STOCKHOLDERS VOTE
“FOR” THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL.

127

PROPOSAL NO. 2 — THE Nasdaq PROPOSAL

Overview

Assuming the Business Combination Proposal is approved, a portion of the consideration to be paid to the Ittella Parent securityholders in connection with the business combination will consist of up to an aggregate of 34,500,000 shares (in a no redemption scenario) or 37,000,000 shares (in a maximum redemption scenario) of common stock (excluding the Holdback Shares).

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, the Sponsor will agree it will not transfer (i) 1,250,000 founder shares held by it prior to six months after the Closing and (ii) 3,750,000 founder shares held by it prior to the earlier of (x) twelve months after the Closing, (y) the date on which the last sales price of common stock exceeds $12.00, subject to adjustment as provided therein and (z) the date on which the Company completes a transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property. In addition, the holders of shares of common stock received as consideration in the business combination will agree not to transfer any of these shares held by them prior to six months after the Closing.

At the Closing, the Company will enter into the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, substantially in the form attached as Annex F to this proxy statement, with the Sponsor and the Ittella Parent securityholders, which provides certain registration rights to the Sponsor and the Ittella Parent securityholders and pursuant to which the Company will, not later than 120 days after the Closing, file a registration statement covering the founder shares, the private placement warrants (including any common stock issued or issuable upon exercise of any such private placement warrants) and the Company’s shares issued to the Ittella Parent securityholders at the Closing. Subject to certain exceptions, the Company will bear all Registration Expenses (as defined in the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement).

For more information on the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, please see the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement.”

In connection with the business combination, the Company also intends to reserve for issuance 5,200,000 shares of common stock for potential future issuances of under the Incentive Plan.

The terms of the Stock Consideration and the Incentive Plan are complex and only briefly summarized above. For further information, please see the full text of the Merger Agreement and First Amendment, which are attached as Annex A-1 and Annex A-2, respectively, to this proxy statement, the form of the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, which is attached as Annex F to this proxy statement, and the Incentive Plan, which is attached as Annex E to this proxy statement. The discussion herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to those documents.

Why the Company Needs Stockholder Approval

We are seeking stockholder approval in order to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5635(a) and (d).

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a), stockholder approval is required prior to the issuance of securities in connection with the acquisition of another company if the securities are not issued in a public offering and (A) have, or will have upon issuance, voting power equal to or in excess of 20% of the voting power outstanding before the issuance of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock); or (B) the number of shares of common stock to be issued is or will be equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance of the stock or securities. Collectively, we may issue 20% or more of our outstanding common stock or 20% or more of the voting power, in each case outstanding before the issuance, pursuant to the issuance of common stock in connection with the business combination. In addition, we intend to reserve for issuance shares of common stock for potential future issuances under the Incentive Plan.

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), stockholder approval is required for a transaction other than a public offering involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by an issuer of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) at a price that is less than the greater of book or market value of the stock if the number of shares of common stock to be issued is or may be equal to 20% or more of the common stock, or 20% or more of the voting power, outstanding before the issuance.

128

Effect of Proposal on Current Stockholders

If the Nasdaq Proposal is adopted, up to approximately 34,500,000 shares (in a no redemption scenario) or 37,000,000 shares (in a maximum redemption scenario) shares of common stock will be issued as Stock Consideration pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement (excluding the Holdback Shares), which represents approximately 134.5% (in a no redemption scenario) or 144.2% (in a maximum redemption scenario) of the 25,650,411 shares of our common stock outstanding on the date hereof. The issuance of these shares would result in significant dilution to our stockholders, and would afford our stockholders a smaller percentage interest in our voting power, liquidation value and aggregate book value.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Nasdaq Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

Failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person (which would include voting at the virtual special meeting), an abstention from voting, or a broker non-vote will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Nasdaq Proposal.

The Nasdaq Proposal is conditioned upon approval of the other condition precedent proposals. If the other condition precedent proposals are not approved, the Nasdaq Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by our stockholders.

PROPOSAL NO. 3 — The CHARTER PROPOSAL

Overview

In connection with the business combination, we are asking our stockholders to approve the adoption of the proposed charter, substantially in the form attached to this proxy statement as Annex C, to be effective upon the consummation of the business combination. If the business combination and the Charter Proposal are approved, the proposed charter would replace the current charter.

Comparison of Current Charter to Proposed Charter

The following is a summary of the key changes effected by the proposed charter relative to the current charter. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the proposed charter, substantially in the form included as Annex C to this proxy statement.

•        to provide that any amendment to provisions of the current charter and proposed bylaws will require the approval of the holders of at least 85% of the Company’s then-outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally at an election of directors; provided, that, at any time when the Ittella Parties immediately prior to the filing and effectiveness of the proposed charter beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than a majority of the total voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally at an election of directors, the reference to “85%” in the foregoing sentence shall be deemed to be amended and replaced with the words “66 2/3%”;

•        to provide that the Company opts out of Section 203 of the DGCL, which prevents certain Delaware corporations, under certain circumstances, from engaging in a “business combination” with certain “interested stockholders” and their affiliates, and, instead, be governed by a provision substantially similar to Section 203 of the DGCL; for more information on Section 203 of the DGCL, see the section titled “Description of Securities — Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws”;

•        to provide that the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the federal securities laws, including the Securities Act;

•        to provide that, subject to the limitations imposed by applicable law, directors may be removed with cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 85% of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally at an election of directors; provided, that, at any time when the Ittella Parties beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than a majority of the total voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally at an election of directors, subject to any limitations imposed by applicable law, any individual director or directors may be removed with cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally at an election of directors;

•        to change the name of the new public entity to “Tattooed Chef, Inc.” from “Forum Merger II Corporation”;

•        to, upon completion of the business combination and the conversion of the Company’s Class B common stock into the Company’s Class A common stock, increase the authorized capital stock from 111,000,000 shares, consisting of 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock to 1,010,000,000 shares, which would consist of 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, by, on the effective date of the filing of the proposed charter: (i) reclassifying all shares of Class B common stock as Class A common stock; (ii) immediately following the conversion of such Class B common stock into shares of Class A common stock, reclassifying all shares of Class A common stock as common stock; and (iii) creating an additional 890,000,000 shares of common stock and 9,000,000 shares of preferred stock;

130

•        to eliminate various provisions applicable only to blank check companies; and

•        to change the classification of the Board from two classes to three classes of directors, with each class elected for staggered terms.

Reasons for the Approval of the Charter Proposal

In the judgment of the Board, the proposed charter is necessary to address the needs of the post-business combination company. In particular:

•        protect key provisions of the proposed charter from arbitrary amendment and prevent a simple majority of stockholders from taking actions that may be harmful to other stockholders or making changes to provisions that are intended to protect all stockholders;

•        opt out of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law to allow the proposed charter to contain its own rules governing business combinations with interested parties;

•        adopt the federal district courts of the United States as the sole and exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation under the Securities Act to assist the Company in avoiding multiple lawsuits in multiple jurisdictions regarding the same matter;

•        a standard in addition to a supermajority vote requirement will, in conjunction with the classified nature of our Board, increase board continuity and the likelihood that experienced board members with familiarity of the Company’s business operations would serve on the board at any given time and make it more difficult for a potential acquiror or other person, group or entity to gain control of our Board;

•        the name of the new public entity is desirable to reflect the post-combination company’s ability to change;

•        authorize additional shares of our common stock and our preferred stock to be used to issue shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement, under the Incentive Plan and for general corporate purposes; and

•        eliminate certain provisions related to our status as a blank check company because these provisions will serve no purpose following the business combination.

For a discussion of the reasons for the approval of certain provisions in the proposed charter, see “Proposal No. 4 — The Advisory Charter Proposals — Reasons for the Approval of the Advisory Charter Proposals” below.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Charter Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person (which would include voting at the virtual special meeting), an abstention from voting, or a broker non-vote will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Charter Proposal.

The Charter Proposal is conditioned upon approval of the other condition precedent proposals. If the other condition precedent proposals are not approved, the Charter Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by our stockholders.

PROPOSAL NO. 4 — ADVISORY CHARTER PROPOSALS

Overview

We are asking our stockholders to vote upon, on a non-binding advisory basis, a proposal to approve certain governance provisions contained in the proposed charter. These proposals are being presented in accordance with SEC guidance and will be voted upon on an advisory basis, and are not binding on the Company or our Board (separate and apart from the approval of the Charter Proposal). In the judgment of the Board, these provisions are necessary to adequately address the needs of the post-business combination company. Furthermore, the business combination is not conditioned on the separate approval of any of the Advisory Charter Proposals (separate and apart from approval of the Charter Proposal). Accordingly, regardless of the outcome of the non-binding advisory vote on the Advisory Charter Proposals, the Company intends that the proposed charter will take effect upon consummation of the Business Combination (assuming approval of the Charter Proposal and condition precedent proposals).

Reasons for the Approval of the Advisory Charter Proposals

Advisory Charter Proposals

The following table sets forth a summary of the governance provisions applicable to the Advisory Charter Proposals. This summary is qualified by reference to the complete text of the proposed charter, substantially in the form attached to this proxy statement as Annex C. All stockholders are encouraged to read the proposed charter in its entirety for a more complete description of its terms.

Advisory Charter Proposal

 

Current Charter

 

Proposed Charter

Advisory Charter Proposal A — Charter Amendment

 

The current charter is silent on the issue of minimum voting requirement for amending the current charter.

 

The proposed charter will provide that any amendment to provisions of the current charter and proposed bylaws will require the approval of the holders of at least 85% of the Company’s then-outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally at an election of directors; provided, that, at any time when, immediately prior to the filing and effectiveness of the proposed charter, the Ittella Parties beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than a majority of the total voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally at an election of directors, the reference to “85%” in the foregoing sentence shall be deemed to be amended and replaced with the words “66 2/3%”.

Advisory Charter Proposal B — Section 203

 

The current charter does not currently affirmatively opt out of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

The proposed charter will provide that the Company opts out of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Section 203 prevents certain Delaware corporations, under certain circumstances, from engaging in a “business combination” with certain “interested stockholders” and their affiliates. For more information on Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, see the section titled “Description of Securities — Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.

Current Charter

 

Proposed Charter

Advisory Charter Proposal C —Securities Act Disputes Forum

 

The current charter is silent as to forum for disputes arising under the Securities Act.

 

The proposed charter will provide that the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the federal securities laws, including the Securities Act.

Advisory Charter Proposal D — Director Removal

 

The current charter provides that any or all of the directors may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

 

The proposed charter will provide that, subject to the limitations imposed by applicable law, directors may be removed with cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 85% of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally at an election of directors; provided, that, at any time when the Ittella Parties beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than a majority of the total voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally at an election of directors, subject to any limitations imposed by applicable law, any individual director or directors may be removed with cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally at an election of directors.

Advisory Charter Proposal E — Name Change

 

The Company’s current name is Forum Merger II Corporation.

 

Under the proposed charter, the Company’s name will be Tattooed Chef, Inc.

Advisory Charter Proposal F — Reclassification of Class A Common Stock; Common Stock; Preferred Stock

 

The current charter authorizes 110,000,000 shares of common stock, including (i) 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and (ii) 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock; and the current charter authorizes 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

 

The proposed charter will provide for, upon completion of the business combination and the conversion of the Company’s Class B common stock into the Company’s Class A common stock, an increase the authorized capital stock from 111,000,000 shares, consisting of 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock to 1,010,000,000 shares, which would consist of 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, by, on the effective date of the filing of the proposed charter: (i) reclassifying all shares of Class B common stock as Class A common stock; (ii) immediately following the conversion of such Class  B common stock into shares of Class A common stock, reclassifying all shares of Class A common stock as common stock; and (iii) creating an additional 890,000,000 shares of common stock and 9,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

133

Advisory Charter Proposal

 

Current Charter

 

Proposed Charter

Advisory Charter Proposal G — Provisions Specific to a Blank Check Company

 

Under the current charter, Article IX sets forth various provisions related to its operations as a blank check company prior to the consummation of an initial business combination.

 

The proposed charter does not include these blank check company provisions because, upon consummation of the business combination, the Company will cease to be a blank check company. In addition, the provisions requiring that the proceeds from its initial public offering be held in a trust account until a business combination or liquidation of the Company and the terms governing the Company’s consummation of a proposed business combination will not be applicable following consummation of the business combination.

Advisory Charter Proposal H — Classified Board

 

Under the current charter, the Board is divided into two classes staggered two-year terms.

 

The proposed charter changes the classification of the Board from two classes to three classes of directors, with each class elected for staggered terms.

Reasons for the Approval of the Advisory Charter Proposals

Charter and Bylaws Amendment

Requiring the approval by affirmative vote of holders of at least 85% of the voting power of the Company’s then outstanding capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors to make any amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws is intended to protect key provisions of the proposed charter from arbitrary amendment and to prevent a simple majority of stockholders from taking actions that may be harmful to other stockholders or making changes to provisions that are intended to protect all stockholders.

Section 203

Opting out of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law allows the proposed charter to contain its own rules governing business combinations with interested parties. Section 203 prevents certain Delaware corporations, under certain circumstances, from engaging in a “business combination” with certain “interested stockholders” and their affiliates. For more information on Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, see the section titled “Description of Securities — Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.” Although the Company will opt out of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the proposed charter will include a modified version of Section 203. The effect of including this provision for “business combinations” with any “interested stockholder” is intended to provide the Company with similar protections to Section 203.

Securities Act Disputes Forum

Adopting the federal district courts of the United States as the sole and exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation under the federal securities laws, including the Securities Act, is intended to assist the Company in avoiding multiple lawsuits in multiple jurisdictions regarding the same matter. The ability to require these claims to be brought in a single forum will help to assure consistent consideration of the issues, the application of a relatively known body of case law and level of expertise and should promote efficiency and cost-savings in the resolutions of those claims.

Director Removal

The current charter and the proposed charter both provide for a classified board of directors, such that only a specified portion of the directors is to be elected each year. Under the Delaware General Corporation law, removal of a director only for cause is automatic with a classified board. Our Board believes that such a standard in addition

134

to a supermajority vote requirement will, in conjunction with the classified nature of our Board (i) increase board continuity and the likelihood that experienced board members with familiarity of the Company’s business operations would serve on the board at any given time and (ii) make it more difficult for a potential acquiror or other person, group or entity to gain control of our Board.

Name Change

Changing the post-business combination corporate name from “Forum Merger II Corporation” to “Tattooed Chef, Inc.” and making the Company’s corporate existence perpetual is desirable to reflect the business combination with Ittella Parent and to clearly identify the Company as the publicly traded entity. Additionally, perpetual existence is the usual period of existence for corporations, and our Board believes it is the most appropriate period for the Company following the business combination.

Common Stock

The principal purpose of this proposal is to authorize additional shares of common stock, which will be used to issue shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement, under the Incentive Plan and for general corporate purposes. Our Board believes that it is important for us to have available for issuance a number of authorized shares of common stock and preferred stock sufficient to support the Company’s growth and to provide flexibility for future corporate needs (including, if needed, as part of financing for future growth acquisitions).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, authorized but unissued common shares may enable our Board to render it more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company and thereby protect continuity of or entrench its management, which may adversely affect the market price of common shares. If, in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, for example, our Board were to determine that a takeover proposal was not in the best interests of the Company, these shares could be issued by our Board without stockholder approval in one or more private placements or other transactions that might prevent or render more difficult or make more costly the completion of any attempted takeover transaction by diluting voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder group, by creating a substantial voting bloc in institutional or other hands that might support the position of the incumbent board of directors, by effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover, or otherwise. The authorization of additional shares will, however, enable the Company to have the flexibility to authorize the issuance of shares in the future for financing its business, for acquiring other businesses, for forming strategic partnerships and alliances and for stock dividends and stock splits. The Company currently has no plans, proposals, or arrangements, written or otherwise, to issue any of the additional authorized shares for these purposes.

Preferred Stock

Our Board believes that these additional shares will provide the Company with needed flexibility to issue shares in the future in a timely manner and under circumstances we consider favorable without incurring the risk, delay and potential expense incident to obtaining stockholder approval for a particular issuance.

Authorized but unissued preferred stock may enable our Board to render it more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company and thereby protect continuity of or entrench its management, which may adversely affect the market price of the Company. If, in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, for example, our Board was to determine that a takeover proposal was not in the best interests of the Company, the preferred stock could be issued by the board without stockholder approval in one or more private placements or other transactions that might prevent or render more difficult or make more costly the completion of any attempted takeover transaction by diluting voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder group, by creating a substantial voting bloc in institutional or other hands that might support the position of the board of directors, by effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover, or otherwise. Allowing our Board to issue the authorized preferred stock on its own volition will enable the Company to have the flexibility to issue such preferred stock in the future for financing its business, for acquiring other businesses, for forming strategic partnerships and alliances and for stock dividends and stock splits. The Company currently has no plans, proposals, or arrangements, written or otherwise, to issue any of the additional authorized stock for those purposes.

135

Provisions Specific to a Blank Check Company

The elimination of certain provisions related to the Company’s status as a blank check company is desirable because these provisions will serve no purpose following the business combination. For example, the proposed charter does not include the requirement to dissolve the Company and allows it to continue as a corporate entity with perpetual existence following consummation of the business combination. Perpetual existence is the usual period of existence for corporations, and our Board believes it is the most appropriate period for the Company following the business combination. In addition, certain other provisions in our current certificate require that proceeds from the Company’s IPO be held in the trust account until a business combination or liquidation of the Company has occurred. These provisions cease to apply once the business combination is consummated and are therefore not included in the proposed charter.

Classified Board

Reasons for amending the current charter to change the classification of the Board from two classes to three classes of directors, with each class elected for staggered terms, are (1) to account for the increase in the size of the authorized board of directors to nine members and (2) provide for continuity in the Board. A classified board makes it more difficult for our existing stockholders to replace the Board as well as for another party to obtain control of the Company by replacing its board of directors. Because the Board has the power to retain and discharge the Company’s officers, these provisions could also make it more difficult for existing stockholders or another party to effect a change in management.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Advisory Charter Proposals requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person (which would include voting at the virtual special meeting), an abstention from voting, or a broker non-vote will no effect on the Advisory Charter Proposals.

As discussed above, the Advisory Charter Proposals are advisory votes and therefore are not binding on the Company or our Board. Furthermore, the business combination is not conditioned on the separate approval of the Advisory Charter Proposals (separate and apart from approval of the Charter Proposal). Accordingly, regardless of the outcome of the non-binding advisory vote on the Advisory Charter Proposals, the Company intends that the proposed charter will take effect upon consummation of the business combination (assuming approval of the Charter Proposal).

OUR BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT OUR STOCKHOLDERS VOTE
“FOR” THE ADVISORY CHARTER PROPOSALS.

136

PROPOSAL NO. 5 — THE INCENTIVE PLAN PROPOSAL

Overview

Prior to the consummation of the business combination, we expect that our Board will approve and adopt, subject to stockholder approval, the Tattooed Chef, Inc. 2020 Incentive Award Plan (the “Incentive Plan”), under which we would be authorized to grant cash and equity incentive awards to certain eligible service providers in order to attract, motivate and retain the talent for which we compete. A copy of the Incentive Plan is attached to this proxy statement as Annex E.

Purpose of the Incentive Plan

The purpose of the Incentive Plan is to assist us in attracting, motivating and retaining selected individuals who will serve as our employees, officers, directors and consultants, whose judgment, interest and special effort is critical to the successful conduct of our operation. We believe that the awards to be issued under the Incentive Plan will motivate recipients to offer their maximum effort to us and help focus them on the creation of long-term value consistent with the interests of our stockholders. We believe that grants of incentive awards are necessary to enable us to attract and retain top talent; if the Incentive Plan is not approved, we believe our recruitment and retention capabilities will be adversely affected.

Reasons for the Approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal

Stockholder approval of the Incentive Plan is necessary in order for us to (1) meet the stockholder approval requirements of The Nasdaq Stock Market and (2) grant incentive stock options (“ISOs”) thereunder. Specifically, approval of the Incentive Plan will constitute approval of the material terms of the Incentive Plan pursuant to the stockholder approval requirements of Section 422 of the Code relating to ISOs.

The Incentive Plan will become effective upon the date on which it is approved by an affirmative vote of the majority of our stockholders. If stockholders do not approve this proposal, the Incentive Plan will not become effective and we will not be able to grant equity awards under the Incentive Plan.

Material Terms of the Incentive Plan

The material terms of the Incentive Plan, as currently contemplated by our Board, are summarized below and qualified entirely by the full text of the Incentive Plan. A copy of the Incentive Plan is attached to this proxy statement as Annex E.

Administration.    A committee of at least two people appointed by our Board (or, if no such committee has been appointed, our Board) (the “Committee”) will administer the Incentive Plan. The Committee will generally have the authority to designate participants, determine the type or types of awards to be granted to a participant, to determine the terms and conditions of any agreements evidencing any awards granted under the Incentive Plan (including any vesting and vesting acceleration provisions), to interpret the Incentive Plan and/or the award agreements, and to adopt, alter and/or repeal rules, guidelines and practices relating to the Incentive Plan or awards, as applicable (including any amendments to the terms and conditions of outstanding awards in response to changes in applicable laws). The Committee will have full discretion to administer and interpret the Incentive Plan and to make any other determinations and/or take any other action that it deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the Incentive Plan.

Eligibility.    Certain employees, directors, officers, advisors or consultants and certain prospective employees, directors, officers, advisors or consultants of the Company or its Affiliates are eligible to participate in the Incentive Plan. Following the consummation of the business combination, it is expected that approximately 400 employees, consultants and service providers and all of our eight non-executive officer directors will be eligible to participate in the Incentive Plan.

Number of Shares Authorized.    The Incentive Plan provides for an aggregate of 5,200,000 shares of common stock to be available for awards. The maximum aggregate grant-date fair value of awards granted and cash fees paid to any non-employee director pursuant to the Incentive Plan during any fiscal year may not exceed a total value of $100,000, provided that the non-employee directors who are considered independent (under the rules of The Nasdaq

137

Stock Market or other securities exchange on which shares of our common stock are traded) may make exceptions to this limit for a non-executive chair of our Board, if any, in which case the non-employee director receiving the additional compensation may not participate in the decision to award that compensation. Shares of common stock underlying awards under the Incentive Plan that are forfeited, cancelled, expire unexercised or are settled in cash will be available again for new awards under the Incentive Plan. If there is any change in our corporate capitalization, the Committee in its sole discretion may make substitutions or adjustments to the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Incentive Plan, the number of shares of common stock covered by awards then outstanding under the Incentive Plan, the limitations on awards under the Incentive Plan, the exercise price of outstanding options and such other equitable substitutions or adjustments as it may determine appropriate.

The Incentive Plan will have a term of not more than ten years from the date it is approved by stockholders and no further awards may be granted under the Incentive Plan after that date.

Awards Available for Grant.    The Committee may grant awards of nonqualified stock options, ISOs, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, other stock-based awards, other cash-based awards, and/or dividend equivalents, or any combination of the foregoing.

Options.    The Committee will be authorized to grant options to purchase shares of common stock that are either “qualified,” meaning they are intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code for ISOs, or “nonqualified,” meaning they are not intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code. Options granted under the Incentive Plan will be subject to terms, including the exercise price and the conditions and timing of exercise, determined by the Committee and specified in the applicable award agreement (including, if applicable, the attainment of any performance goals and/or criteria, as shall be determined by the Committee). The maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued through the exercise of ISOs granted under the Incentive Plan is 5,200,000 shares of common stock. In general, the exercise price per share of common stock for each option granted under the Incentive Plan will not be less than the fair market value of the share at the time of grant. The maximum term of an option granted under the Incentive Plan will be ten years from the date of grant (or five years in the case of ISOs granted to a 10% stockholder). However, if the option would expire at a time when the exercise of the option by means of a cashless exercise or net exercise method (to the extent that method is otherwise then permitted by the Committee for purposes of payment of the exercise price and/or applicable withholding taxes) would violate applicable securities laws or any securities trading policy adopted by us, the expiration date applicable to the option will be automatically extended to a date that is 30 calendar days following the date the cashless exercise or net exercise would no longer violate applicable securities laws or applicable securities trading policy (so long as the extension does not violate Section 409A of the Code), but not later than the expiration of the original exercise period. Payment in respect of the exercise of an option may be made in cash or by check, by surrender of unrestricted shares (at their fair market value on the date of exercise) that have been held by the participant for any period deemed necessary by our accountants to avoid an additional compensation charge or have been purchased on the open market, or the Committee may, in its discretion and to the extent permitted by law, allow the payment to be made through a broker-assisted cashless exercise mechanism, a net exercise method, or by any other method that the Committee determines to be appropriate.

Stock Appreciation Rights.    The Committee will be authorized to award SARs under the Incentive Plan. SARs will be subject to the terms and conditions established by the Committee. A SAR is a contractual right that allows a participant to receive, either in the form of cash, shares of common stock or any combination of cash and shares of common stock, the appreciation, if any, in the value of a common share over a certain period of time. An option granted under the Incentive Plan may include SARs and SARs may also be awarded to a participant independent of the grant of an option. SARs granted in connection with an option will be subject to terms similar to the option corresponding to the SARs. SARs will be subject to terms established by the Committee and reflected in the applicable award agreement (including, if applicable, the attainment of any performance goals and/or criteria, as shall be determined by the Committee).

Restricted Stock.    The Committee will be authorized to award restricted stock under the Incentive Plan. Each award of restricted stock will be subject to the terms and conditions established by the Committee, including any dividend or voting rights (and any performance goals and/or criteria upon whose attainment the restricted period shall lapse in part or full). Restricted stock awards are shares of common stock that generally are non-transferable and subject to other restrictions determined by the Committee for a specified period. Unless the Committee determines otherwise or specifies otherwise in an award agreement, if the participant terminates employment or services during the restricted period, then any unvested restricted stock is forfeited. Dividends, if any, that may have been withheld

138

by the Committee will be distributed to the participant in cash or, at the sole discretion of the Committee, in shares of common stock having a fair market value equal to the amount of the dividends, upon the release of any applicable restrictions, and if the applicable share is forfeited, the participant will have no right to the dividends (except as otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement).

Restricted Stock Unit Awards.    The Committee will be authorized to award restricted stock unit awards under the Incentive Plan. The Committee will determine the terms of the restricted stock units, including any dividend rights (and any performance goals and/or criteria upon whose attainment the restricted period shall lapse in part or full). Unless the Committee determines otherwise or specifies otherwise in an award agreement, if the participant terminates employment or services during the period of time over which all or a portion of the units are to be earned, then any unvested units will be forfeited. At the election of the Committee, the participant will receive a number of shares of common stock equal to the number of units earned or an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of that number of shares of common stock at the expiration of the period over which the units are to be earned or at a later date selected by the Committee. Dividends, if any, that may have been withheld by the Committee will be distributed to the participant in cash or, at the sole discretion of the Committee, in shares of common stock having a fair market value equal to the amount of the dividends, upon the release of any applicable restrictions, and if the applicable share is forfeited, the participant will have no right to the dividends (except as otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement).

Other Stock-Based Awards.    The Committee may grant to participants other stock-based awards under the Incentive Plan, which are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, shares of common stock. The form of any other stock-based awards will be determined by the Committee and may include a grant or sale of unrestricted shares of common stock. The number of shares of common stock related to other stock-based awards will be determined by the Committee. Other stock-based awards will be paid in cash, shares of common stock, or a combination of cash and shares, as determined by the Committee. The terms and conditions, including vesting conditions and any performance goals and/or criteria, of any other stock-based award will be established by the Committee when the award is made and set forth in the applicable award agreement. The Committee will determine the effect of a termination of employment or service on a participant’s other stock-based awards.

Other Cash-Based Awards.    The Committee may grant to participants a cash award that is not otherwise described by the terms of the Incentive Plan, including cash awarded as a bonus or upon the attainment of performance goals or otherwise as permitted under the Incentive Plan. The other cash-based awards are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, cash. The form of any other cash-based awards will be determined by the Committee. Other cash-based awards will be paid in cash, as determined by the Committee. The terms and conditions, including vesting conditions and any performance goals and/or criteria, of any other cash-based award will be established by the Committee when the award is made and set forth in the applicable award agreement. The Committee will determine the effect of a termination of employment or service on a participant’s other cash-based awards.

Dividend Equivalents.    The Committee may provide for the payment of dividend equivalents with respect to shares of common stock subject to an award, such as restricted stock units. However, no dividend equivalent will be paid prior to the issuance of stock. Dividend equivalents may be credited as of the dividend payment dates, during the period between the grant date and the date the award becomes payable or terminates or expires, as determined by the Committee; however, dividend equivalents will not be payable unless and until the issuance of shares underlying the award and will be subject to forfeiture to the same extent as the underlying award. Dividend equivalents may be paid on a current or deferred basis, in cash, additional shares of common stock, or converted to full-value awards, calculated and subject to limitations and restrictions determined by the Committee.

Transferability.    Each award may be exercised during the participant’s lifetime only by the participant or, if permissible under applicable law, by the participant’s guardian or legal representative and may not be otherwise transferred or encumbered by a participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. The Committee, however, may permit awards (other than ISOs) to be transferred to family members, a trust for the benefit of the family members, a partnership or limited liability company whose partners or stockholders are the participant and his or her family members or anyone else approved by it.

Amendment and Termination.    In general, our Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Incentive Plan at any time. However, stockholder approval to amend the Incentive Plan may be necessary if the law or the Incentive Plan so requires (e.g., repricing, approval is necessary to comply with any tax or regulatory requirement, etc.). No amendment, suspension or termination will impair the rights of any participant or recipient of any award without the consent of the participant or recipient.

139

Change in Control.    In the event of a “Change in Control” (as defined in the Incentive Plan), the Committee may adjust the number of shares of common stock or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or other property) subject to an award, the exercise or strike price of an award, or any applicable performance measure, and may provide for the substitution or assumption of outstanding awards in a manner that substantially preserves the terms of the awards, the acceleration of the exercisability or lapse of restrictions applicable to outstanding awards and the cancellation of outstanding awards in exchange for the consideration received by stockholders of the Company in connection with the Change in Control transaction.

Clawback.    Any award subject to recovery under any law, government regulation, stock exchange listing requirement, award agreement or Company policy, will be subject to deductions and clawback required to be made pursuant thereto (or any award agreement or policy adopted by the Company pursuant to any such law, government regulation, stock exchange listing requirement or otherwise).

International Participants.    The Committee may modify awards granted to participants who are foreign nationals or employed outside the United States or establish subplans or procedures to address differences in laws, rules, regulations or customs of the foreign jurisdictions.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a general summary under current law of the principal United States federal income tax consequences related to awards under the Incentive Plan applicable to U.S. participants. This summary deals with the general federal income tax principles that apply (based upon provisions of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations issued thereunder, as well as judicial and administrative interpretations under the Code and Treasury Regulations, all as in effect as of the date hereof, and all of which are subject to change (possibly on a retroactive basis) or different interpretation) and is provided only for general information. Other kinds of taxes, such as state, local and foreign income taxes and federal employment taxes, are not discussed. This summary is not intended as tax advice to participants, who should consult their own tax advisors.

Non-Qualified Stock Options.    If a participant is granted a non-qualified stock option under the Incentive Plan, the participant should not have taxable income on the grant of the option. Generally, the participant should recognize ordinary income at the time of exercise in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares acquired on the date of exercise, less the exercise price paid for the shares. The participant’s basis in the common stock for purposes of determining gain or loss on a subsequent sale or disposition of the shares generally will be the fair market value of our common stock on the date the participant exercises the option. Any subsequent gain or loss will be taxable as a long-term or short-term capital gain or loss. We or our subsidiaries or Affiliates generally should be entitled to a federal income tax deduction at the time and for the same amount as the participant recognizes ordinary income.

Incentive Stock Options.    A participant receiving ISOs should not recognize taxable income upon grant. Additionally, if applicable holding period requirements are met, the participant should not recognize taxable income at the time of exercise. However, the excess of the fair market value of the shares of our common stock received over the option exercise price is an item of tax preference income potentially subject to the alternative minimum tax. The federal alternative minimum tax may produce significant tax repercussions depending upon the participant’s particular tax status.

If stock acquired upon exercise of an ISO is held for a minimum of two years from the date of grant and one year from the date of exercise and otherwise satisfies the ISO requirements, the gain or loss (in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value on the date of disposition and the exercise price) upon disposition of the stock will be treated as a long-term capital gain or loss, and we will not be entitled to any corresponding deduction. If the holding period requirements are not met, the ISO will be treated as a nonqualified stock option and the participant will recognize ordinary income at the time of the disposition equal to the excess of the amount realized over the exercise price, but not more than the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date the ISO is exercised over the exercise price, with any remaining gain or loss being treated as capital gain or capital loss. In addition, to the extent that the fair market value (determined as of the date of grant) of the shares with respect to which a participant’s ISOs are exercisable for the first time during any year exceeds $100,000, the ISOs for the shares over $100,000 will be treated as nonqualified stock options, and not ISOs, for federal tax purposes, and the participant will recognize income as if the ISOs were actually nonqualified stock options. We are not entitled to a tax deduction upon either the exercise of an ISO or upon disposition of the shares acquired pursuant to the exercise, except to the extent that the participant recognizes ordinary income on disposition of the shares.

140

Stock Appreciation Rights.    Generally, a participant will recognize ordinary income upon the receipt of payment pursuant to SARs in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of cash and the fair market value of any shares of common stock received. We or our subsidiaries or Affiliates generally will be entitled to a corresponding tax deduction equal to the amount includible in the participant’s income.

Restricted Stock.    A participant should not have taxable income on the grant of unvested restricted stock, nor will we or our subsidiaries or Affiliates then be entitled to any deduction, unless the participant makes a valid election under Section 83(b) of the Code (as discussed below). However, when restrictions on shares of restricted stock lapse, such that the shares are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, the participant generally will recognize ordinary income, and we or our subsidiaries or Affiliates will be entitled to a corresponding deduction in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the shares at the date the restrictions lapse over the purchase price, if any, paid for the restricted stock. Other stock-based awards may be taxed in a similar manner (depending on the form of award) as when a restricted stock award is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture.

If the participant makes a valid election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to restricted stock, the participant generally will recognize ordinary income at the date of issuance of the restricted stock in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the fair market value of the shares at that date over the purchase price, if any, paid for the restricted stock, and we or our subsidiaries or Affiliates will be entitled to a deduction for the same amount.

Restricted Stock Units.    A participant will not recognize taxable income at the time of the grant of restricted stock units, and neither we nor our subsidiaries or Affiliates will be entitled to a deduction at that time. When a restricted stock unit is paid, whether in cash or common stock, the participant will have ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the shares delivered or the cash paid, and we or our subsidiaries or Affiliates will be entitled to a corresponding deduction.

Other Stock-Based Awards; Other Cash-Based Awards; Dividend Equivalents.    Generally, the granting of other stock-based awards, other cash-based awards, or dividend equivalent rights should not typically result in the recognition of taxable income by the recipient or a tax deduction by us, our subsidiaries or Affiliates. The payment or settlement of other stock-based awards, other cash-based awards or dividend equivalent rights should generally result in immediate recognition of taxable ordinary income by the recipient equal to the amount of any cash paid (before applicable tax withholding) or the then-current fair market value of the shares of common stock received, and a corresponding tax deduction by us. If the shares covered by the award are not transferable and subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, the tax consequences to the participant and to us will be similar to the tax consequences of restricted stock awards, as described above. If any other stock-based award consists of unrestricted shares of common stock, the recipient of those shares will immediately recognize as taxable ordinary income the fair market value of those shares on the date of the award, and we will be entitled to a corresponding tax deduction.

Federal Tax Withholding.    Any ordinary income realized by a participant upon the granting, vesting, exercise, or conversion of an award under the Incentive Plan, as applicable, is subject to withholding of federal, state, and local income taxes and to withholding of the participant’s share of tax under the Federal Insurance Contribution Act and the Federal Unemployment Tax Act. To satisfy our federal income tax withholding requirements, we (or, if applicable, any of our subsidiaries or affiliates) will have the right to require, as a condition to delivery of any certificate for shares of our common stock or the registration of the shares in the participant’s name, that the participant remit to us an amount sufficient to satisfy the withholding requirements. Alternatively, we may withhold a portion of the shares (valued at fair market value) that otherwise would be issued to the participant to satisfy all or part of the withholding tax obligations or may, if we consent, accept delivery of shares with an aggregate fair market value that equals or exceeds the required tax withholding amount. Withholding does not represent an increase in the participant’s total income tax obligation because it is fully credited toward his or her tax liability for the year. Additionally, withholding does not affect the participant’s tax basis in the shares. Compensation income realized and tax withheld will be reflected on Forms W-2 supplied by us to employees no later than January 31 of the following year. Deferred compensation that is subject to Section 409A of the Code (discussed below) will also be subject to certain federal income tax withholding and reporting requirements.

Million Dollar Deduction Limit and Other Tax Matters. Under Section 162(m) of the Code, we may be limited as to federal income tax deductions to the extent that total annual compensation in excess of $1,000,000 is paid to any “covered employees” (within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code).

141

If an individual’s rights under the Incentive Plan are accelerated as a result of a Change in Control and the individual is a “disqualified individual” under Section 280G of the Code, the value of any such accelerated rights received by such individual may be included in determining whether or not such individual has received an “excess parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code, which could result in (i) the imposition of a 20% federal excise tax (in addition to federal income and employment taxes, if applicable) payable by the individual on the value of such accelerated rights and (ii) the loss by us of a compensation deduction.

Section 409A of the Code.    Certain types of awards under the Incentive Plan may constitute, or provide for, a deferral of compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code. Unless certain requirements set forth in Section 409A of the Code are complied with, holders of the awards may be taxed earlier than would otherwise be the case (e.g., at the time of vesting instead of the time of payment) and may be subject to an additional 20% penalty tax (and, potentially, certain interest penalties and additional state taxes). To the extent applicable, the Incentive Plan and awards granted under the Incentive Plan are intended to be structured and interpreted in a manner intended to either comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and other authoritative guidance that may be issued under Section 409A of the Code. To the extent determined necessary and appropriate by the Committee, the Incentive Plan and applicable award agreements may be amended to further comply with Section 409A of the Code or to exempt the applicable awards from Section 409A of the Code.

Interest of Directors and Executive Officers.

All members of our Board and all of our executive officers are eligible for awards under the Incentive Plan and, thus, have a personal interest in the approval of the Incentive Plan.

New Plan Benefits

Grants of awards under the Incentive Plan are subject to the discretion of the Committee. Therefore, it is not possible to determine the future benefits that will be received by any participants under the Incentive Plan.

Form S-8

Following the consummation of the business combination, when permitted by SEC rules, we intend to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 covering the common stock issuable under the Incentive Plan.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person (which would include voting at the virtual special meeting), an abstention from voting, or a broker non-vote will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Incentive Plan Proposal.

The Incentive Plan Proposal is conditioned upon approval of the other condition precedent proposals. If the other condition precedent proposals are not approved, the Incentive Plan Proposal will have no effect, even if it is approved by our stockholders.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

Our Board believes that the Incentive Plan will provide us with the continued ability to link participants’ pay to stockholder returns, and that it is a critical compensation component in our ability to attract, retain and motivate employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors by aligning their interests with the interests of our stockholders.

OUR BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT OUR STOCKHOLDERS VOTE
“FOR” THE INCENTIVE PLAN PROPOSAL.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of our directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she, or they may believe is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and what he, she, or they may believe is best for himself, herself, or themselves in determining to recommend that stockholders vote for the proposals. See the section entitled “Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination” for a further discussion.

PROPOSAL NO. 6 — THE DIRECTOR ELECTION PROPOSAL

Overview

Our Board is currently divided into two classes, with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class (except for those directors appointed prior to our first annual meeting of stockholders) serving a two-year term. The term of office of our Class II directors, Marshall Kiev, David Boris and Jeffrey Nachbor, will expire at the special meeting.

If the condition precedent proposals, including the Charter Proposal, are approved, the proposed charter, which would be effective upon the Closing, will provide for the reclassification of our Board from two classes to three classes. Our Board has determined to increase the size of our Board from six to nine if the business combination is completed.

If the condition precedent proposals are not approved or the business combination is not completed, our Board will remain at six directors and classified in two classes, with the term of office of each of the Company’s three Class II directors, if elected, would begin upon the conclusion of the special meeting.

Director Nominees

Our Board has determined to increase the size of the Board from six to nine if the business combination is completed.

The Company’s stockholders are being asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to elect proposal to elect nine directors to the our Board, effective immediately upon the Closing of the business combination, with each Class I director having a term that expires immediately following our annual meeting of stockholders in 2021, each Class II director having a term that expires immediately following our annual meeting of stockholders in 2022 and each Class III director having a term that expires immediately following our annual meeting of stockholders in 2023, or, in each case, until their respective successor is duly elected and qualified, or until their earlier resignation, removal or death.

We are proposing Ryan Olohan, David Boris and Marie D. Quintero-Johnson to serve as the Class I directors, Ed Gelfand, Daniel Williamson and Jennifer Fellner to serve as Class II directors and Salvatore Galletti, Bryan Rosenberg and Paula Ciaramitaro to serve as Class III directors.

For more information on the experience of Ryan Olohan, David Boris, Ed Gelfand, Daniel Williamson, Jennifer Fellner, Salvatore Galletti, Bryan Rosenberg, Paula Ciaramitaro and Marie D. Quintero-Johnson, please see the section entitled “Management After the Business Combination.”

Alternatively, if the condition precedent proposals are not approved and our Board remains classified, Marshall Kiev, David Boris and Jeffrey Nachbor, if elected, will serve on our Board for a term of two years expiring at the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders or until his respective successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation, retirement or removal.

For more information on the experience of Marshall Kiev, David Boris and Jeffrey Nachbor, please see the section entitled “Information About the Company — Management — Directors and Officers.”

Vote Required for Approval

The election of directors is decided by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person (which would include presence at the virtual special meeting) or represented by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. This means that each of the director nominees will be elected if they receive more affirmative votes than any other nominee for the same position. Stockholders may not cumulate their votes with respect to the election of directors.

Failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person (which would include voting at the virtual special meeting), an abstention from voting, or a broker non-vote will have no effect on the election of directors.

143

The election of nine director nominees in the Director Election Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the condition precedent proposals, including the Charter Proposal. If the condition precedent proposals, including the Charter Proposal, are not approved, our Board will remain classified in two classes and three directors will be elected to a two-year term in Class II.

Recommendation of the Board

OUR BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT OUR STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION OF EACH OF THE DIRECTOR NOMINEES TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

144

PROPOSAL NO. 7 — THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

Overview

The Adjournment Proposal, if adopted, will allow our Board to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates to permit further solicitation of proxies. The Adjournment Proposal will only be presented to our stockholders if there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the condition precedent proposals, but no other proposal if the condition precedent proposals are approved.

Consequences if the Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved

If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved by our stockholders, our Board may not be able to adjourn the special meeting to a later date if there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the condition precedent proposals or any other proposal.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person (which would include voting at the virtual special meeting), an abstention from voting, or a broker non-vote will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Adjournment Proposal. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal.

OUR BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT OUR STOCKHOLDERS VOTE
“FOR” THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY

General

We are a blank check company whose business purpose is to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We were incorporated in Delaware on May 4, 2018.

On August 7, 2018, we consummated our IPO of 20,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating total proceeds of $200,000,000. Each unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one redeemable common stock purchase warrant. Each public warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 555,000 private placement units and the IPO underwriters purchased an aggregate of 100,000 private placement units, at a price of $10.00 per unit, in a private placement, generating total proceeds of $6,550,000. The proceeds from the sale of the private placement units were added to the proceeds from the IPO held in the trust account. If we do not complete a business combination by September 30, 2020, the proceeds from the sale of the private placement units will be used to fund the redemption of public shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the private placement units, private placement shares and the private placement warrants will be worthless. The private placement units are identical to the public units except that: (i) with respect to the private placement shares, so long as they are held by their initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, (A) they will not be redeemable in connection with the completion of our business combination, (B) they will not be redeemable in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (1) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our business combination by September 30, 2020 or (2) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity, (C) they will not receive liquidating distributions from the trust account if we fail to complete our business combination by September 30, 2020 and (D) the Sponsor and the IPO underwriters have agreed to vote any private placement shares held by them in favor of the business combination; and (ii) with respect to the private placement warrants, so long as they are held by the Sponsor, the IPO underwriters or their permitted transferees, (A) they will not be redeemable by us, (B) they (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of these warrants) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold until 30 days after the completion of the business combination, (C) they may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis, (D) they will be entitled to registration rights, and (E) for so long as they are held by the IPO underwriters, they will not be exercisable more than five years from August 2, 2018.

Upon the closing of the IPO and the private placement, $200,000,000 was placed in a trust account. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $207,235,255 in the trust account.

On June 11, 2020, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which Ittella Parent will be merged with and into Merger Sub to become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The aggregate consideration payable at the Closing to the Ittella Parent securityholders is the Closing Merger Consideration. The Closing is expected to take place in early October, as soon as practicable after the special meeting, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions in the Merger Agreement. The Closing Merger Consideration is required to comprise between $50,000,000 and $75,000,000 in cash, with the remainder of the Closing Merger Consideration comprising common stock, valued at $10.00 per share. The Holdback Shares are payable after the Closing to the Ittella Parent stockholders upon satisfaction of the following conditions within the first three years after the Closing: (i) if the trading price of common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 on any 20 trading days in any 30-day trading period, then 2,500,000 Holdback Shares will be released to the Ittella Parent stockholders, or (ii) if the trading price of common stock equals or exceeds $14.00 on any 20 trading days in any 30-day trading period, then 2,500,000 Holdback Shares will be released to the Ittella Parent stockholders. If a change in control occurs within the first three years after the Closing, all Holdback Shares not previously released will be released to the Ittella Parent stockholders. If the conditions to release of the Holdback Shares are not satisfied within the first three years of Closing, the Holdback Shares are forfeited. The Sponsor has agreed that, at the Closing, it will place 2,500,000 founder shares held by it into escrow. The vesting, release and forfeiture terms of the Sponsor Earnout Shares are the same as the vesting, release and forfeiture terms applicable to the Holdback Shares, with 50% of the Sponsor Earnout Shares vesting at each Share Price Trigger, and all Sponsor Earnout Shares released if a change of control occurs, in each case, within the first three years after the Closing. If the conditions to the release of any Sponsor Earnout Shares are not satisfied on or prior to the date that it

146

is finally determined that the Ittella Parent stockholders are not entitled to or eligible to receive any further Holdback Releases as defined in, and pursuant to, the Merger Agreement, the Sponsor Earnout Shares will be forfeited by the Sponsor on that date. The Company and the Holder Representative have agreed that, at the Closing, the Company will place 100,000 shares of common stock into an adjustment escrow account. Following the date on which the Closing Merger Consideration is finally determined, all or a portion of the Adjustment Escrow Stock will either be released to the Ittella Parent stockholders or released to the Company in accordance with the adjustment mechanisms set forth in Section 3.5 of the Merger Agreement.

The mailing address of the Company’s principal executive office is 1615 South Congress Avenue, Suite 103, Delray Beach, Florida 33445, and its telephone number is 212-739-7860.

Initial Business Combination

Nasdaq rules require that an initial business combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in our trust account (less any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned) at the time of our signing a definitive agreement in connection with an initial business combination. Our Board has determined that the business combination meets the 80% test.

Redemption Rights for Holders of Public Shares

We are providing our public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem, upon the Closing, their public shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the business combination, including interest not previously released to us to pay our taxes, by the total number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein. As of March 31, 2020, the fair value of the marketable securities held in the trust account, net of taxes payable and any interest that we may withdraw for working capital purposes, is approximately $207,235,255. The Sponsor and our current directors and officers have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to the founder shares and any public shares they may hold in connection with the consummation of the business combination. The founder shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price.

Submission of the Business Combination to a Stockholder Vote

The special meeting of our stockholders to which this proxy statement relates is to solicit your approval of the business combination. Unlike many other blank check companies, our public stockholders are not required to vote against the business combination in order to exercise their redemption rights. If the business combination is not completed, then public stockholders electing to exercise their redemption rights will not be entitled to receive these payments. The Sponsor has agreed to vote any shares of common stock owned by it in favor of the business combination.

Limitations on Redemption Rights

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the current charter provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of that stockholder or any other person with whom that stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemptions with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares of Class A common stock included in the units sold in our IPO without the prior consent of the Company.

Employees

We currently have two officers. Members of our management team are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters, but they intend to devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to our affairs until we have completed an initial business combination. We presently expect our officers to devote such amount of time as they reasonably believe is necessary to our business, and the amount of time that members of our management will devote in any time period will vary based on the current stage of the business combination process. We do not intend to have any full time employees prior to the closing of an initial business combination.

Jeffrey Nachbor, 54, is one of our directors as of the date hereof. Mr. Nachbor has served as ConvergeOne’s Chief Financial Officer since September 2013. From 2008 until 2013, Mr. Nachbor served as Senior Vice President of Finance & Chief Accounting Officer of Leap Wireless International, Inc., a telecommunications company which was later acquired by AT&T Inc. From September 2005 to March 2008, Mr. Nachbor served as Senior Vice President and Corporate Controller of H&R Block, Inc. (NYSE: HRB). From February 2005 until August 2005, Mr. Nachbor served as Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of Sharper Image Corporation, a consumer electronics retailer. From 2003 to 2005, Mr. Nachbor served as Senior Vice President and Corporate Controller of Staples, Inc., a business supplies and equipment retailer. Mr. Nachbor holds a B.A. in accounting from Old Dominion University, an M.B.A. from University of Kansas, and is a Certified Public Accountant. We believe Mr. Nachbor is well-qualified to serve as a member of the board due to his extensive experience in finance and operations.

Stockholder Communications

Our Board has established a process for stockholders to send communications to our Board. Stockholders may communicate with our Board generally or a specific director at any time by writing to our General Counsel and Secretary, c/o Forum Merger II Corporation, 1615 South Congress Avenue, Suite 103, Delray Beach, Florida 33445. We will review all messages received, and forward any message that reasonably appears to be a communication from a stockholder about a matter of stockholder interest that is intended for communication to our Board. Communications are sent as soon as practicable to the director to whom they are addressed, or if addressed to our Board generally, to the Co-Chairmen of our Board. Because other appropriate avenues of communication exist for matters that are not of stockholder interest, such as general business complaints or employee grievances, communications that do not relate to matters of stockholder interest are not forwarded to our Board.

Director Independence

Nasdaq rules currently require that a majority of our Board be independent. An “independent director” is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship which in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our Board has determined that Messrs. Berns, Goldberg, and Katzman are “independent directors” as defined in Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act and the rules of Nasdaq. Our independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

The leadership of our Board is structured so that it is led by two Co-Chief Executive Officers. Mr. Kiev is one of the two Co-Chief Executive Officers, and he is also the Company’s President. Mr. Boris is the other Co-Chief Executive Officer of the Board. Our Board believes that combining the roles of Chief Executive Officer helps provide strong and consistent leadership for our management team and Board. If our Board convenes for a meeting, the non-management directors will meet in executive session if the circumstances warrant. Given the composition of our Board with a strong slate of independent directors, our Board does not believe that it is necessary to formally designate a lead independent director at this time, although it may consider appointing a lead independent director if the circumstances change.

Our Board’s oversight of risk is administered directly through our Board, as a whole, or through its audit committee. Various reports and presentations regarding risk management are presented to our Board to identify and manage risk. The audit committee addresses risks that fall within the committee’s area of responsibility. For example, the audit committee is responsible for overseeing the quality and objectivity of the Company’s financial statements and the independent audit thereof. Management furnishes information regarding risk to our Board as requested.

150

Number and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors

Our Board is divided into two classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class (except for those directors appointed prior to our first annual meeting of stockholders) serving a two-year term. The term of office of the first class of directors, consisting of Messrs. Goldberg, Katzman, and Berns, will expire at the 2021 annual meeting. The term of office of the second class of directors, consisting of Messrs. Kiev, Boris and Nachbor, will expire at the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders.

Our officers are appointed by the Board and serve at the discretion of the Board, rather than for specific terms of office. Our Board is authorized to appoint persons to the offices set forth in our current bylaws as it deems appropriate. Our current bylaws provide that our officers may consist of one or more Chief Executive Officers, a Chief Financial Officer, a Secretary and such other officers (including without limitation, the Chairman of the Board, Presidents, Vice Presidents, Assistant Secretaries and a Treasurer) as may be appointed in accordance with the provisions of the proposed bylaws.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Our Board has two standing committees: an audit committee and a compensation committee. Subject to phase-in rules and a limited exception, Nasdaq rules and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors, and Nasdaq rules require that the compensation committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors.

Audit Committee

We have established an audit committee of the Board. Messrs. Berns, Goldberg, Katzman will serve as members of our audit committee, and Mr. Berns chairs the audit committee. Under the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have at least three members of the audit committee, all of whom must be independent. Each of Messrs. Berns, Goldberg, Katzman meet the independent director standard under Nasdaq listing standards and under Rule 10-A-3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act.

Each member of the audit committee is financially literate and our Board has determined that Mr. Berns qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules.

We have adopted an audit committee charter, which details the principal functions of the audit committee, including:

•        the appointment, compensation, retention, replacement, and oversight of the work of the independent registered public accounting firm engaged by us;

•        pre-approving all audit and permitted non-audit services to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm engaged by us, and establishing pre-approval policies and procedures;

•        setting clear hiring policies for employees or former employees of the independent registered public accounting firm, including but not limited to, as required by applicable laws and regulations;

•        setting clear policies for audit partner rotation in compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

•        obtaining and reviewing a report, at least annually, from the independent registered public accounting firm describing (i) the independent registered public accounting firm’s internal quality-control procedures, (ii) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review, or peer review, of the audit firm, or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities within the preceding five years respecting one or more independent audits carried out by the firm and any steps taken to deal with such issues and (iii) all relationships between the independent registered public accounting firm and us to assess the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence;

•        reviewing and approving any related party transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC prior to us entering into such transaction; and

151

•        reviewing with management, the independent registered public accounting firm, and our legal advisors, as appropriate, any legal, regulatory or compliance matters, including any correspondence with regulators or government agencies and any employee complaints or published reports that raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies and any significant changes in accounting standards or rules promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC or other regulatory authorities.

Compensation Committee

We have established a compensation committee of the Board. Messrs. Berns, Katzman, Goldberg will serve as members of our compensation committee. Under the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have at least two members of the compensation committee, all of whom must be independent. Messrs. Berns, Katzman, Goldberg are independent and Mr. Katzman chairs the compensation committee.

We have adopted a compensation committee charter, which details the principal functions of the compensation committee, including:

•        reviewing and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our Co-Chief Executive Officers’ compensation, if any is paid by us, evaluating our Co-Chief Executive Officers’ performance in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of our Co-Chief Executive Officers based on such evaluation;

•        reviewing and approving on an annual basis the compensation, if any is paid by us, of all of our other officers;

•        reviewing on an annual basis our executive compensation policies and plans;

•        implementing and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans;

•        assisting management in complying with our proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements;

•        approving all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements for our officers and employees;

•        if required, producing a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement; and

•        reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, as indicated above, other than the payment to an affiliate of the Sponsor of $15,000 per month, until September 30, 2020, for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support and reimbursement of expenses, no compensation of any kind, including finders, consulting or other similar fees, will be paid to any of our existing stockholders, officers, directors or any of their respective affiliates, prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate the consummation of an initial business combination. Accordingly, it is likely that prior to the consummation of an initial business combination, the compensation committee will only be responsible for the review and recommendation of any compensation arrangements to be entered into in connection with such initial business combination.

The current charter also provides that the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser and will be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the compensation committee will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by Nasdaq and the SEC.

Committee Meetings and Attendance

From January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019, the end of our fiscal year, our Audit Committee held four meetings, at which all members of the Audit Committee were present. Our Board and Compensation Committee held no meetings in the year ended December 31, 2019.

152

We encourage all of our directors to attend our annual meetings of stockholders. Two directors attended our 2019 annual meeting.

Director Nominations

We do not have a standing nominating committee though we intend to form a corporate governance and nominating committee as and when required to do so by law or Nasdaq rules. In accordance with Rule 5605 of the Nasdaq rules, a majority of the independent directors may recommend a director nominee for selection by the Board. The Board believes that the independent directors can satisfactorily carry out the responsibility of properly selecting or approving director nominees without the formation of a standing nominating committee. The directors who will participate in the consideration and recommendation of director nominees are Messrs. Berns, Katzman, Goldberg and Nachbor. In accordance with Rule 5605 of the Nasdaq rules, all such directors are independent. As there is no standing nominating committee, we do not have a nominating committee charter in place.

The Board will also consider director candidates recommended for nomination by our stockholders during such times as they are seeking proposed nominees to stand for election at the next annual meeting of stockholders (or, if applicable, a special meeting of stockholders). Our stockholders that wish to nominate a director for election to our Board should follow the procedures set forth in our bylaws.

We have not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. In general, in identifying and evaluating nominees for director, the Board considers educational background, diversity of professional experience, knowledge of our business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom, and the ability to represent the best interests of our stockholders.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of our officers currently serves, or in the past year has served, as a member of the compensation committee of any entity that has one or more officers serving on our Board.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our Class A common stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. These reporting persons are also required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely upon a review of such Forms, we believe that during the year ended December 31, 2019 there were no delinquent filers.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all of our directors, executive officers and employees that complies with the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq. The Code of Ethics codifies the business and ethical principles that govern all aspects of our business. We have previously filed copies of our form of Code of Ethics, our form of Audit Committee Charter and our form of Compensation Committee Charter as exhibits to our registration statement in connection with our initial public offering. You may review these documents by accessing our public filings at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, a copy of the Code of Ethics will be provided without charge upon request to us in writing at 1615 South Congress Avenue, Suite 103, Delray Beach, Florida 33445 or by telephone at (212) 739-7860.

Conflicts of Interest

Members of our management team do not have any obligation to present us with any opportunity for a potential business combination of which they become aware, unless presented to such member solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the company. Our current charter provides that we renounce our interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of our company and such opportunity is one we are legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for us to pursue, and to the extent the director or officer is permitted to refer that opportunity to us without violating another legal obligation.

153

Our officers and directors have agreed not to participate in the formation of, or become an officer or director of any other special purpose acquisition company with a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act, until we have entered into a definitive agreement regarding our initial business combination or we have failed to complete our initial business combination by September 30, 2020. Potential investors should also be aware of the following other potential conflicts of interest:

•        None of our officers or directors is required to commit his or her full time to our affairs and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in allocating his or her time among various business activities.

•        In the course of their other business activities, our officers and directors may become aware of investment and business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us as well as the other entities with which they are affiliated. Our management may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.

•        Our initial stockholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares and private placement shares and any public shares held by them in connection with the consummation of our initial business combination. Additionally, our initial stockholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares or private placement shares held by them if we fail to consummate our initial business combination by September 30, 2020. If we do not complete our initial business combination within such applicable time period, the proceeds of the sale of the private placement units held in the trust account will be used to fund the redemption of our public shares, and the private placement units (and the underlying securities) will expire worthless. With certain limited exceptions, the founder shares will not be transferable, assignable by the Sponsor until the earlier of: (A) one year after the completion of our initial business combination or (B) subsequent to our initial business combination, (x) if the last sale price of our Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after our initial business combination, or (y) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property. With certain limited exceptions, the private placement units, private placement shares and private placement warrants and the Class A common stock underlying such warrants, will not be transferable, assignable or saleable by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination. Since the Sponsor and officers and directors may directly or indirectly own common stock and warrants following our initial public offering, our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination.

•        Our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a particular business combination if the retention or resignation of any such officers and directors was included by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our initial business combination.

•        The Sponsor, our officers or directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a business combination and financing arrangements as we may obtain Working Capital Loans from the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or any of our officers or directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination. Up to $1,200,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be converted into private placement-equivalent units at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. Such units would be identical to the private placement units, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period of the underlying warrants.

The conflicts described above may not be resolved in our favor.

In general, officers and directors of a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware are required to present business opportunities to a corporation if:

•        the corporation could financially undertake the opportunity;

•        the opportunity is within the corporation’s line of business; and

•        it would not be fair to our company and its stockholders for the opportunity not to be brought to the attention of the corporation.

154

Accordingly, as a result of multiple business affiliations, our officers and directors may have similar legal obligations relating to presenting business opportunities meeting the above-listed criteria to multiple entities. Furthermore, our current charter provides that we renounce our interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of our company and such opportunity is one we are legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for us to pursue, and to the extent the director or officer is permitted to refer that opportunity to us without violating another legal obligation.

Neil Goldberg is the only one of our executive officers and directors that currently has fiduciary duties or contractual obligations to other entities. Mr. Goldberg is the President and CEO of Raymour and Flannigan Furniture and Holdings, a furniture retailer.

Pursuant to the letter agreement, the Sponsor, our officers and directors have agreed to vote any founder shares or private placement shares held by them and any public shares purchased by them (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of the business combination.

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

Our current charter provides that our officers and directors will be indemnified by us to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware law, as it now exists or may in the future be amended. In addition, our current charter provides that our directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages to us or our stockholders for breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors, unless they violated their duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law, authorized unlawful payments of dividends, unlawful stock purchases or unlawful redemptions, or derived an improper personal benefit from their actions as directors.

We have entered agreements with our officers and directors to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided for in the current charter. Our current bylaws also permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director or employee for any liability arising out of his or her actions, regardless of whether Delaware law would permit such indemnification. We have purchased a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify our officers and directors.

These provisions may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

We believe that these provisions, the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced officers and directors.

Audit Fees

The firm of Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) acts as our independent registered public accounting firm. The following is a summary of fees paid to Marcum for services rendered.

Audit Fees.    Audit fees consist of fees billed for professional services rendered for the audit of our year-end financial statements and services that are normally provided by Marcum in connection with regulatory filings. The aggregate fees billed by Marcum for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements, review of the financial information included in our Forms 10-Q for the respective periods and other required filings with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2019 and for the period from May 4, 2018 (inception) through December 31, 2018 totaled $53,560 and $79,590, respectively. The above amounts include interim procedures and audit fees, as well as attendance at audit committee meetings.

Audit-Related Fees.    Audit-related services consist of fees billed for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported under “Audit Fees.” These services include attest services that are not required by statute or regulation and consultations concerning financial accounting and reporting standards. We did not pay Marcum any fees for consultations concerning financial

155

accounting and reporting standards during the year ended December 31, 2019 and the period from May 4, 2018 (inception) through December 31, 2018.

Tax Fees.    We paid Marcum $12,978 and $-0- for tax planning and tax advice during the year ended December 31, 2019 and the period from May 4, 2018 (inception) through December 31, 2018, respectively.

All Other Fees.    We did not pay Marcum for other services during the year ended December 31, 2019 and the period from May 4, 2018 (inception) through December 31, 2018.

Pre-Approval Policy

Our audit committee was formed upon the consummation of our initial public offering. As a result, the audit committee did not pre-approve all of the foregoing services, although any services rendered prior to the formation of our audit committee were approved by our Board. Since the formation of our audit committee, and on a going-forward basis, the audit committee has and will pre-approve all auditing services and permitted non-audit services to be performed for us by our auditors, including the fees and terms thereof (subject to the de minimis exceptions for non-audit services described in the Exchange Act which are approved by the audit committee prior to the completion of the audit).

Legal Proceedings

There is no material litigation, arbitration, governmental proceeding or any other legal proceeding currently pending or known to be contemplated against us or any members of our management team in their capacity as such.

156

THE COMPANY’S MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes of the Company included elsewhere in this proxy statement. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations, estimates and assumptions concerning events and financial trends that may affect our future operating results or financial position. Actual results and timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated on May 4, 2018 as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate our business combination using cash from the proceeds of our IPO and the sale of the 655,000 private placement units (the “private placement units”) that occurred simultaneously with the completion of our IPO, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

The issuance of additional shares of our stock in a business combination:

•        may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors, which dilution would increase if the anti-dilution provisions in the Class B common stock resulted in the issuance of Class A shares on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion of the Class B common stock;

•        may subordinate the rights of holders of our common stock if preferred stock is issued with rights senior to those afforded our common stock;

•        could cause a change in control if a substantial number of shares of our common stock are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors;

•        may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us by diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of us; and

•        may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Class A common stock and/or warrants.

Similarly, if we issue debt securities or otherwise incur significant indebtedness, it could result in:

•        default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after a business combination are insufficient to repay our debt obligations;

•        acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;

•        our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security is payable on demand;

•        our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt security contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt security is outstanding;

•        our inability to pay dividends on our common stock;

•        using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends on our common stock if declared, our ability to pay expenses, make capital expenditures and acquisitions, and fund other general corporate purposes;

•        limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and in the industry in which we operate;

157

•        increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation;

•        limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, and execution of our strategy; and

•        other disadvantages compared to our competitors who have less debt.

We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a business combination will be successful.

Recent Developments

On February 7, 2020, our stockholders approved an amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the period of time for which we are required to consummate a business combination to June 10, 2020. The number of shares of Class A common stock presented for redemption in connection with the extension was 4,589. We paid cash in the aggregate amount of $47,175, or approximately $10.28 per share, to redeeming stockholders. We agreed to deposit $0.033 for each public share outstanding that was not redeemed for each of the four consecutive monthly periods of the extension, assuming the Company takes the full time through June 10, 2020 to complete a business combination. In February, March 2020 and April 2020, we deposited $0.033 for each public share outstanding that was not converted, or an aggregate of $1,979,515 into the trust account. On June 8, 2020, our stockholders approved an amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the period of time for which we are required to consummate a business combination to September 30, 2020. No shares of common stock were presented for redemption in connection with the extension.

On February 10, 2020, we issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor (the “Extension Note”) in the aggregate amount of $2,639,394 in order to fund the extension payments. The Extension Note is non-interest bearing and payable upon the consummation of a business combination. As of June 30, 2020, the outstanding balance under the Extension Note amounted to $1,799,587. The Extension Note will be repaid at Closing from cash released from the trust account. If the business combination is not consummated by September 30, 2020 or there is no extension of the date by which the Company has to consummate an initial business combination, the Extension Note will be forgiven and the Sponsor will not be repaid.

On June 11, 2020, we entered into the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which the aggregate consideration payable at the Closing to the stockholders of Ittella Parent is approximately $420 million, subject to the purchase price adjustments as set forth in the Merger Agreement. The Closing Merger Consideration is required to be comprised of between $50 million and $75 million in cash, with the remainder of the Closing Merger Consideration comprised of the Company’s common stock, valued at $10.00 per share.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities through June 30, 2020 were organizational activities, including those necessary to prepare for our IPO, identifying a target company for a business combination and the proposed acquisition of Ittella Parent. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our business combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with completing a business combination.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we had a net loss of $491,067, which consisted of operating costs of $540,494 and a provision for income taxes of $53,735 offset by interest income on marketable securities held in the trust account of $648,166 and a benefit for income taxes of $102,552.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we had a net loss of $554,578, which consisted of operating costs of $1,272,909 and a provision for income taxes of $32,387, offset by interest income on marketable securities held in the trust account of $750,718.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, we had net income of $746,323, which consisted of interest income on marketable securities held in the trust account of $1,203,733, offset by an unrealized loss on marketable securities held in our trust account of $5,252, operating costs of $195,814 and a provision for income taxes of $256,344.

158

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we had net income of $1,448,087, which consisted of interest income on marketable securities held in the trust account of $2,374,127 and an unrealized gain on marketable securities held in our trust account of $6,583, offset by operating costs of $386,750, and a provision for income taxes of $545,873.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On August 7, 2018, we consummated the initial public offering of 20,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of our IPO, we consummated the sale of 655,000 private placement units to the Sponsor and underwriters at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $6,550,000.

Following our IPO and the sale of the private placement units, a total of $200,000,000 was placed in the trust account. We incurred $11,532,114 in transaction costs, including $4,000,000 of underwriting fees, $7,000,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $532,114 of other costs.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, cash used in operating activities was $1,616,716. Net loss of $554,578 consisted of interest earned on marketable securities held in the trust account of $750,718 and a deferred tax benefit of $4,571. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $306,849 of cash from operating activities.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, cash used in operating activities was $823,790. Net income of $1,448,087 was, offset by interest earned on marketable securities held in the trust account of $2,374,127, an unrealized gain on marketable securities held in our trust account of $6,583 and a deferred tax provision of $61,568. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $170,401 of cash from operating activities. 

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the trust account (excluding deferred underwriting fees) to complete our business combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the trust account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

As of June 30, 2020, we had cash of $86,134 held outside the trust account. We intend to use the funds held outside the trust account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a business combination.

On February 10, 2020, we issued the Extension Note in the aggregate amount of $2,639,394 in order to fund the extension payments. The Extension Note is non-interest bearing and payable upon the consummation of a business combination. As of June 30, 2020, the outstanding balance under the Extension Note amounted to $1,799,587. The Extension Note will be repaid at Closing from cash released from the trust account. If the business combination is not consummated by September 30, 2020 or there is no extension of the date by which the Company has to consummate an initial business combination, the Extension Note will be forgiven and the Sponsor will not be repaid.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a business combination, we would repay the loaned amounts. If a business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay the loaned amounts but no proceeds from our trust account would be used for the repayment. Up to $1,200,000 of the Working Capital Loans may be converted into private placement units at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. As of the date of this proxy statement, 2020, the Company does not have any Working Capital Loans outstanding.

We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business through September 30, 2020. However, if our estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a business combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our business combination business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of public shares upon completion of our business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with the business combination. In addition, we intend to target businesses larger than we could acquire with the net proceeds of our IPO and the sale of the private placement units, and may as a result be required to seek additional financing to complete such proposed initial

159

business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete the financing simultaneously with the completion of our business combination. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the trust account. In addition, following our business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

Off-balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities that would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2020. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a monthly fee of $15,000 for office space, utilities and administrative support to us. We began incurring these fees on August 7, 2018 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the business combination and our liquidation.

In addition, we have an agreement to pay the underwriters a deferred underwriting fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $7,000,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will be forfeited by the underwriters solely if we fail to complete a business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies: 

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for our common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Net Loss per Common Share

We apply the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Shares of common stock subject to possible redemption which are not currently redeemable and are not redeemable at fair value, have been excluded from the calculation of basic net loss per share since such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of the trust account earnings. Our net income is adjusted for the portion of income that is attributable to common stock subject to possible redemption, as these shares only participate in the earnings of the trust account and not our income or losses.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

INFORMATION ABOUT ITTELLA PARENT

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to the business and operations of Ittella Parent and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Business Overview

We are a rapidly-growing plant-based food company offering a broad portfolio of innovative frozen foods. We supply plant-based products to leading retailers in the United States, with signature products such as ready-to-cook bowls, zucchini spirals, riced cauliflower, acai and smoothie bowls, and cauliflower crust pizza. Our products are available both in private label and our “Tattooed Chef” brand in the frozen food section of retail food stores. According to National Frozen & Refrigerated Foods Association, in the 52 weeks ending June 29, 2019, sales of frozen food products in North America totaled approximately $55 billion, an increase of approximately $918 million compared to the comparable period for 2018.

We believe our innovative food offerings converge with consumer trends and demands for great-tasting, wholesome, plant-based foods made from sustainably sourced ingredients, including preferences for flexitarian, vegetarian, vegan, organic, and gluten-free lifestyles. Various industry studies indicate that consumers want healthier and more convenient food options. As of June 30, 2020, our products were sold in approximately 4,000 retail outlets in the United States. Our brand strategy is to introduce the attributes of a plant-based lifestyle to build a connection with a broad array of consumers that are seeking delicious, sustainably sourced, plant-based foods. Our diverse offering of plant-based meals includes certified organic, GMO-free, certified Kosher, gluten-free, as well as plant protein elements that we believe provide health conscious consumers an affordable, great tasting, clean label food option.

To capture this significant market opportunity, we focus on manufacturing, product innovation and distinctive flavor profiles that appeal to a broad range of consumers. We create and develop new products to address emerging market demands and food trends for healthy, plant-based foods. We also seek to create what we believe are unique meals and snacks by taking regular or “plain” versions of our products and integrating spices and flavors. We believe that our track record of delivering innovative food concepts in both branded and private label has strengthened and expanded relationships with our existing customers and as well as attracting new customers. As of June 30, 2020, we have approximately 100 plant-based food concepts and recipes that are under development.

We are led by our President and CEO, Salvatore “Sam” Galletti, who has over 35 years of experience in the food industry as both a manager and an investor, and Sarah Galletti, our Creative Director and the creator of the Tattooed Chef brand, who was instrumental in changing our focus to plant-based food products in 2017.

We continue to experience strong revenue growth over prior periods. Revenues increased to $84.9 million in twelve month period ending December 31, 2019 (“Fiscal 2019”) as compared to $47.3 million in the twelve month period ending December 31, 2018 (“Fiscal 2018”), representing a year over year growth rate of 79.5%. We generated Adjusted EBITDA of $7.0 million in Fiscal 2019 as compared to $0.3 million in Fiscal 2018, and net income of $5.6 million in Fiscal 2019 as compared to a loss of $0.3 million in Fiscal 2018. See “Ittella Parent Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for further discussion on this non-GAAP measure and a reconciliation to net income, the most closely comparable GAAP measure.

Our Market Opportunity

We operate in the large global food industry. According to the Plant Based Foods Association and The Good Food Institute, sales in the United States of plant-based alternatives exceeded $5 billion for the 52 weeks ending December 2019, representing growth of slightly over 11% compared to the comparable time period for 2018. Furthermore, in the 16-week period ending April 19, 2020 total plant-based food sales grew approximately 30% faster than total retail sales. According to Nielsen Homescan, in the eleven weeks ending May 12, 2020, sales of frozen food products totalled approximately $15.5 billion, which annualized would represent an increase of approximately $18 billion compared to last twelve months June 2019 frozen food sales of $55 Billion. Pizza and complete meals comprised over 34% of total frozen food sales in the eleven weeks ending April 12, 2020, respectively, comprising two of the largest food categories within frozen foods. According to American Frozen Food Institute and Food Marketing Institute, sales in the frozen food categories have grown at approximately 1.7% annually since 2016, which is faster than “center-of-store” (i.e., excluding produce, frozen and refrigerated foods) categories”.

161

Further, we believe that our products are well-positioned to benefit from the growth in frozen food sales and in particular, plant-based food sales. As a group, the categories in which we compete such as pizza, complete meals, vegetables, fruits, and grains comprise approximately 50% of all frozen food categories. Other frozen food sectors where we do not currently compete, such as desserts (which represents approximately 22% of all frozen food categories), present additional growth opportunities for us.

Our Competitive Strengths

Brand Mission Aligned with Consumer Trends

We believe that our products align with current major food trends, with our broad portfolio of plant-based food products meeting the demands of consumers who seek to follow a natural and “cleaner-label” diet. Moreover, most of our products are certified organic, GMO-free, and gluten-free, which we believe will broaden our appeal to those consumers and also to those who wish to follow a vegetarian or vegan diet.

We believe that the plant-based food category will continue to grow. As noted above, from 2018 to 2019, plant-based food sales experienced an annual growth rate of 11% while our revenue grew at an annual rate of 79.5% during this period. Further, studies show that nearly half of U.S. consumers want to eat more plant-based foods.

We believe that our “Tattooed Chef” brand launched in 2017 will continue to grow by appealing to younger consumers seeking food products that are sustainable and ethically sourced, wholesome, and delicious. Revenue attributed to the Tattooed Chef brand has grown from $2.0 million in 2018 to $18.3 million in 2019. We currently sell ready-to-cook bowls, zucchini spirals, riced cauliflower, acai and smoothie bowls, cauliflower crust pizza and plant-based burgers under Tattooed Chef. The brand’s tagline, “Serving Plant-Based Foods to People Who Give a Crop™”, aims to convey the brand’s mission to deliver plant-based foods to consumers who care about sustainable and ethically sourced foods.

Track Record of Innovation

We have invested resources in the development of our innovative plant-based food products, which is demonstrated by such products as the Buddha Bowl, Acai Bowl, Cauliflower Mac n’ Cheese Bowl, Organic Zucchini Spirals, and Mexican Style Street Corn. Our innovation efforts are led by Sarah Galletti and focus on identifying popular food trends that we believe we can successfully bring to market. We can quickly develop prototype versions of a product to present internally and ultimately to various retail customers for feedback. As of June 30, 2020, we have released ten new SKUs and anticipate releasing at least eight additional new SKUs in 2020. In addition, we have built a library of over 100 new product concepts and recipes, ready for further development and testing. In particular, we believe that we excel at taking regular or “plain” versions of our products and integrating new and appealing spices and flavors to create unique meals and snacks. For example, we currently offer plain riced cauliflower and value-added riced cauliflower options such as Riced Cauliflower Stir Fry and Riced Cauliflower Buddha Bowl.

Our processing facility in Paramount, California manufactures an array of plant-based products including pizzas, acai and smoothie bowls and other value-add rice cauliflower bowls. In addition, our innovation and product development personnel reside in this facility. By housing our product innovation capabilities in the same location as our primary manufacturing operation, we believe we are able to transition from product concept, to prototype (including real-time feedback from retail customers), to commercial manufacturing faster and more efficiently.

Established Branded and Private Label Presence at Leading Retailers

The Tattooed Chef brand was created in 2017 and was initially introduced into the club store channel. We believe that our high-quality, clean-label, ready-to-cook, plant-based products fill a void in the marketplace and are well received by our target customers. Our retail partners are attracted to the breadth of our product portfolio and view us as an innovation partner that delivers great tasting products with distinctive flavor profiles at a competitive price. The Tattooed Chef brand seeks to be young, edgy, yet friendly, and appeal to consumers who seek a plant-based lifestyle. As noted above, revenue from Tattooed Chef branded products grew from approximately 4% of our total revenue in 2018 ($2.0 million) to approximately 22% of our total revenue in 2019 ($18.3 million).

162

In addition, we have a strong stable of private label customers, with our private label revenue growing from $41.2 million in Fiscal 2018 to $63.8 million in Fiscal 2019. Our initial focus beginning in 2009 was to establish a strong private label customer base due to lower sales and marketing spend and our desire to grow the business profitably. We believe that our private label customers are some of the best run retailers in North America and we provide these customers high quality product, support and high service levels.

See “— Customer Overview,” “— Innovation and Product Development” below for more information.

Integrated Sourcing, Manufacturing and Product Development

Our processing facility in Prossedi, Italy is located in close proximity to many of the growers that supply us product. This facility opened in 2017 and manufactures various products, including riced cauliflower (plain and value-added), diced squash/zucchini, and vegetable spirals. Italy’s climate and fertile growing regions of organic and non-GMO produce provide us with high-quality raw materials. Due to the location of the facility, we are able to transport raw materials to the facility, process them, and manufacture products within a relatively short time. Prior to each growing season, we obtain written commitments as to quantity and price from various growers, who commit to supply our projected needs, which commitments are then followed by written purchase orders closer to the start of the harvest season. When necessary (whether as a result of greater than anticipated demand from our customers, or poor crop yields due to inclement weather, infestation and the like), we have been able to obtain alternative raw material supply from other sources or on the spot market on satisfactory terms. During 2019, we upgraded our internal cold storage capabilities at the Prossedi plant, which allows us to better manage inventory and take advantage of seasonal purchases of raw materials during the peak harvest season.

We have a processing facility in Paramount, California that also serves as our headquarters. This facility manufactures an array of products including pizzas, acai and smoothie bowls and other value-add rice cauliflower bowls. Our innovation and product development personnel also reside in this facility. By housing our product innovation capabilities in the same location as our primary manufacturing operation, we are able to transition quickly from product concept, to prototype (which can in turn be shared with retail customers for feedback), to commercial manufacturing.

Proven and Experienced Management Team

We are led by a proven and experienced executive management team. Sam Galletti, President and CEO, has over 35 years of experience in the food and manufacturing industries, both in management roles and as an investor, with companies producing seafood, breaded vegetables, salsas, and grilled chicken.

Stephanie Dieckmann serves as our Chief Operations Officer and is the acting Chief Financial Officer. Ms. Dieckmann has been with us since 2017. Prior to joining us, Ms. Dieckmann spent 12 years in the food industry, including seven years as the chief financial officer of APPA Fine Foods Inc.

Sarah Galletti is our Creative Director. Ms. Galletti joined us in 2014 and led our transition to a brand-focused, plant-based food company. Ms. Galletti drives the development of new food concepts and products and holds various sales and marketing responsibilities for us. Prior to joining us, Ms. Galletti worked as a chef in Italy in a variety of locations and draws on this experience in designing new plant-based food concepts and recipes.

Giuseppe Bardari is the current President of Ittella Italy. Mr. Bardari joined us in 2010 as a Director of International Business Development, a position he held for seven years, where he was responsible for the procurement of items from Italy and managing the process of items leaving Italy and arriving in the United States. In 2017, he became President of the Italian division of Ittella Parent, Ittella Italy. Mr. Bardari is responsible for overseeing all operations of Ittella Italy, which includes managing relationships with local growers, procuring imported ingredients and the exporting of finished products. Mr. Bardari holds additional frozen food industry experience from over six years spent as an export manager for Gias Spa.

Our executive management team includes individuals who possess substantial industry experience. Cumulatively, our management team has over 160 years of industry experience, with an average of 25 years’ experience in the food industry, and an average tenure with us of seven years. We believe that the depth of experience of our management team demonstrates our capability to continue growing our business.

Our Growth Strategy

Continue to Grow the Tattooed Chef Brand

We believe the growth of our Tattooed Chef branded products will be a key driver of revenue growth through new product launches and additional customers. We believe that as this product line grows, we will be able to achieve economies of scale and continuing margin improvement.

The Tattooed Chef brand was created in 2017 and is the brainchild of Sarah Galletti, our Creative Director, based on her experiences with various food cultures while travelling internationally. She recognized a lack of readily available, high-quality, clean-label, ready-to-cook, plant-based products, which formed the foundation of Tattooed Chef. The Tattooed Chef brand seeks to be young, edgy, yet friendly, and appeal to consumers who seek a plant-based lifestyle. Revenue from Tattooed Chef products grew from approximately 4% of our total revenue in 2018 ($2.0 million) to approximately 22% of our total revenue in 2019 ($18.3 million).

Tattooed Chef products are sold in the frozen food section of retail stores and club stores. We initially approached club stores to carry Tattooed Chef products recognizing the demanding volume requirements associated with these customers. We believe our success with club stores across an array of Tattooed Chef branded products indicates that the Tattooed Chef brand resonates with its target consumer and would be attractive to conventional retail grocery customers.

In addition, while Tattooed Chef products are available in all 50 states through club stores and certain other retail outlets, we have primarily used social media and product demonstrations to introduce Tattooed Chef to consumers. We believe there is significant opportunity to increase brand awareness, trial rate, and ultimately revenue attributed to Tattooed Chef products with an expanded marketing effort, including through additional advertising channels. Due to the costs of marketing a brand, we expect to potentially access the capital markets, in part, to plan, develop, and execute a detailed marketing strategy for Tattooed Chef products.

Continue to Expand Demand From Existing Customers

We remain focused on addressing existing demand from current customers and expanding our business with these customers. For example, a number of our products are currently available in approximately 7% of one of the largest retailers in the United States. We anticipate that these products will be in almost half of that customer’s stores in the United States by the end of 2020. In addition, with certain customers we have the opportunity to convert select existing products that are seasonal or promotional into “everyday” items that will be stocked on shelves on a continual basis, which we expect will increase our overall revenue.

Attract New Customers

We believe that the reputation and popularity of our products has attracted interest from new customers for Tattooed Chef products as well as our private label products. We believe there is a significant opportunity to continue to expand our business with new customers. As a result of the business combination, we intend to invest in the development of our sales and marketing capabilities to support new customer additions. See “Sales and Marketing” for additional details on our expansion plans.

Expand Product Offerings

We believe that there is significant consumer demand for plant-based products as evidenced by the successful launch of a variety of our products. In addition, we believe that we have been successful in identifying meaningful consumer trends and translating such preferences into products that meet our customers’ requirements (such as required minimum profit margin and volume requirements). We intend to leverage this knowledge and experience to continue to build our new concept library and expand our existing portfolio of products by creating new products and line extensions. For example, new product launches in the last 12 months include Veggie Hemp Bowl, Strawberry Peach Smoothie Bowl, Buffalo Cauliflower, Spring Blend, and Organic Raspberry Kombucha Bowl. We intend to continue to solicit the feedback of our larger retail customers on our new product concept ideas in order to further deepen our relationship and trust with these customers and ensure that we are meeting their particular demands and needs for plant-based frozen food products.

164

Furthermore, we intend to increase our investment in product development and production capabilities to continue to innovate within our core product categories. We anticipate this expansion to including acquiring additional production facilities as well as increasing employee head count to handle additional production.

Introduce and Expand Direct-to-Consumer Distribution Channels

We intend to introduce e-commerce functionality on our website in the second half of fiscal year 2020 to take advantage of the direct-to-consumer market. We believe that the e-commerce channel offers broad opportunities for us to increase the Tattooed Chef’s brand presence through digital marketing thereby potentially generating incremental revenue. We intend to offer 24/7, flexible e-commerce access to consumers of Tattooed Chef branded products. We intend to continuously monitor the performance of our e-commerce platform, adapt our product pricing and offerings and expand our fulfilment capabilities as appropriate to grow, and support the growth, of revenue.

Expand to New Geographic Markets

We intend to explore opportunities to expand Tattooed Chef internationally. In the long term, we believe our current product offerings and existing production resources in Italy will enable it to penetrate the global frozen food market, which we estimate to be an approximately $380 billion opportunity.

Product Offerings Overview

We sell a range of branded and private label plant-based products across its core platforms of ready-to-cook bowls, cauliflower crust pizza, vegetable spirals and ready-to-eat acai and smoothie bowls. Our products are found primarily in the frozen food section of retail customers.

Branded Products

Revenue of Tattooed Chef branded products in Fiscal 2019 was approximately $18.3 million (approximately 22% of gross revenue), an increase of 815.0% from approximately $2.0 million (approximately 4% of gross revenue) in the prior year. Tattooed Chef Branded products include ready to cook meals and snacks such as the Buddha Bowl, Mexican Style Street Corn, Organic Zucchini Spirals, Cauliflower Crust Pizza, Buffalo Cauliflower Burgers, Cauliflower Mac & Cheese Bowl and Acai and Smoothie Bowls.

Private Label Products

Revenue from private label products in Fiscal 2019 was approximately $63.8 million (approximately 75% of gross revenue), an increase of 54.9% from approximately $41.2 million (approximately 87% of gross revenue) in the prior year. Private label products include cauliflower pizza crusts and pizzas, riced cauliflower, acai and smoothie bowls, bulk vegetables (plain and value-added), and riced cauliflower stuffing. Depending on the customer, we may make exclusive products for that customer. The difference between an exclusive product for a particular customer compared to another primarily relates to product sizing or a specific set of ingredients.

Customer Overview

Our products (both branded and private label) are available at leading club stores and other major retailers. As of June 30, 2020, our products were available in approximately 4,000 retail outlets in the United States.

Club store customers often require different sizes or value packs while other retailers may have different requirements in terms of desired margins, allowance of promotional spend, and early payment discounts. These customer-specific parameters (which includes customers who purchase branded and private label products) are typical in the industry and we believe we will be able to price products appropriately for new retail customers. The process of placing products on shelves for new grocery customers can take anywhere from nine months to one year, from obtaining initial approvals to stocking products on shelves.

For Fiscal 2019, we were reliant on our five largest customers, which accounted for approximately 95% of total revenue. Revenue from these customers accounted for approximately 35%, 29%, 11%, 10% and 10%, respectively, of total revenue. For Fiscal 2018, we were reliant on our four largest customers, which accounted for approximately 91% of total revenue. Revenue from these customers accounted for approximately 46%, 19%, 13% and 13%, respectively,

165

of total revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we were reliant on our three largest customers, which accounted for approximately 87% of total revenue. Revenue from these customers accounted for approximately 41%, 29%, and 17%, respectively, of total revenue.

In addition, for Fiscal 2019, three customers accounted for 81% of our accounts receivables. These three customers individually accounted for approximately 56%, 14%, and 11% of our accounts receivables at December 31, 2019. One customer also accounted for 50% of our accounts receivables for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

While we believe our relationships with these customers are strong, and none have indicated any intent to cease or reduce the volume of business they do with us, loss or significant reduction in business from any of these customers could adversely affect our business. See “Risk Factors — Risk Factors Relating to the Post-Combination Company — Risks Related to the Post-Combination Company’s Business and Industry — If the Company fails to retain existing customers, derive revenue from existing customers consistent with historical performance or acquire new customers cost-effectively, the Company’s business could be adversely affected. The Company is subject to substantial customer concentration.” See “— Our Growth Strategy — Continue to Grow the Tattooed Chef Brand” for discussion regarding growing sales of branded products to new customers.

We utilize food brokers to assist in establishing and maintaining relationships with certain key customers, which represent the bulk of our revenue. See “Risk Factors — Risk Factors Relating to the Post-Combination Company — Risks Related to the Post-Combination Company’s Business and Industry — If the Company experiences the loss of one or more of its food brokers that cannot be replaced in a timely manner, results of operations may be adversely affected.”

Supply Chain

Sourcing and Suppliers

We primarily source our vegetables from Italy, which is one of the largest organic crop areas in the European Union.

We engage the services of an agronomist to help with forecasting and scheduling. Based in part on these forecasts, we obtain written commitments from a number of growers and cooperatives to grow certain crops in specified amounts for agreed upon prices, confirmed by purchase orders issued closer to the start of each harvesting season. In addition, we utilize multiple growers across various regions in Italy and are not dependent on any single grower for any single commodity. These commitments provide us with consistent supply throughout the growing season to support our year round production schedule.

We source strawberries and certain other crops in the United States but are not bound by purchase agreements for the crops sourced in the United States. Acai purée is sourced from Brazil through an American supplier, and while we currently single source this ingredient we believe there to be ample supply in the market.

We continue to expand our supply chain to ensure the certainty of supply of the highest quality raw materials that meet our demanding requirements for quality.

We rely on a sole supplier for liquid nitrogen, which is used for cold storage. We have entered into an agreement that expires in 2025 with our sole supplier of liquid nitrogen to provide up to 120% of our monthly requirements of liquid nitrogen.

Social Responsibility

Our corporate social responsibility (“CSR”) management system has several elements, including environmental, health and safety compliance, ethics, and governance.

Social responsibility is also an area of increasing regulation, with specific regulations such as the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act (the “Supply Chain Act”), which requires every retail seller and manufacturer doing business in California having annual worldwide gross receipts that exceed $100,000,000 to disclose its efforts to eradicate slavery and human trafficking from its direct supply chain for tangible goods offered for sale. We are not currently subject to the Supply Chain Act but are currently evaluating implementing a supply chain monitoring program in anticipation of complying with the Supply Chain Act.

166

Manufacturing

We lease a processing facility in Prossedi, Italy, comprising over 100,000 square feet. The main products processed at this facility are riced cauliflower (plain and value-added), diced squash/zucchini, and vegetable spirals. During 2019, we upgraded the internal cold storage capabilities at the Prossedi plant.

We also lease multiple buildings in Paramount, California that serve as a processing facility and as our headquarters. This facility is over 50,000 square feet. The main products processed at this facility are Cauliflower Crust Pizzas, Acai Bowls, Smoothie Bowls, Mexican Style Street Corn, and other riced cauliflower bowls.

The manufacturing process is similar across all product lines and new products have been able to be produced without significant re-tooling costs or material equipment upgrades. We regularly make capital investment in our facilities to meet increased volumes resulting from growing demand of our products. During 2019, our aggregate capital expenditures from continuing operations were $3.7 million. We expect to spend approximately $6.2 million on capital projects in fiscal year 2020.

Our riced cauliflower and vegetable spirals are processed and packaged in our Prossedi, Italy facility. From this facility, the products are either held locally in cold storage or directly transported to United States for distribution.

Our bowls, smoothies, tray products (such as pizza crusts), and other products with more complex flavor profiles (such as Mexican Style Street Corn) are manufactured and processed in our Paramount, California facility.

We utilize co-packers and other manufacturing sources on an as-needed basis. One of our signature products, cauliflower pizza crust, is made at manufacturing facilities owned and operated by co-packers. The termination of a co-packer relationship may leave us with periods during which we have limited or no ability to manufacture these products.

Facilities

We lease processing facilities in Prossedi, Italy and Paramount, California and have a small office suite lease in San Pedro, California. The Paramount facility also serves as our headquarters. Ittella Properties, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Ittella Properties”), a related entity controlled by Mr. Galletti, owns one of the buildings that comprise the Paramount facility and Deluna Investments, Inc., a California corporation (“Deluna”), a related party controlled by Mr. Galletti, owns the San Pedro building. We believe that the lease terms with Ittella Properties and Deluna are on an arms-length basis.

We believe that our current facilities are adequate to meet ongoing needs and that, if we require additional space, we will be able to obtain additional facilities on commercially reasonable terms.

Competition

We operate in a highly competitive environment. We compete with companies that produce products in the plant-based, vegetarian, and frozen food categories, such as Sweet Earth (Nestle), Birds Eye (Conagra Brands), Amy’s, and Green Giant (B&G Foods). Additionally, a number of United States and international companies are working on developing or promoting plant-based products.

We believe that consumers consider the following product qualities in their purchasing decisions:

•        taste;

•        nutritional profile;

•        ingredients;

•        lack of soy, gluten and GMOs;

•        organic;

•        convenience;

•        cost;

•        wide variety of products;

•        brand awareness and loyalty among consumers; and

•        access to major retailer shelf space and retail locations.

We believe we compete effectively with respect to each of these factors. However, many companies in our industry have substantially greater financial resources, more comprehensive product lines, broader market presence, longer-standing relationships with distributors, retailers, and suppliers, longer operating histories, greater production and distribution capabilities, stronger brand recognition and greater marketing resources than us.

Seasonality and Working Capital

We have historically experienced moderate revenue seasonality, with the third and fourth fiscal quarters generating higher sale amounts due to product demonstration schedules, new SKU promotions and retailers allotting additional freezer space for holiday items. As our business grows and additional products are introduced, we expect that seasonality in revenue will decrease. We manage our inventory levels to meet the demand forecasts from select customers as well as our own internal forecasts. We believe our customers’ payment terms are customary for our industry.

Impact of COVID-19

The recent COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our business operations. While our manufacturing facilities remain operational, we have implemented physical distancing protocols and comprehensive preventative hygienic measures. At our facilities, we have implemented a series of physical distancing and hygienic practices to further support the health and safety of our employees. The employees are operating at extremely low density; all are being monitored for COVID-19 symptoms, including temperature screening of all personnel entering the site; and are following strict COVID-19 suggested Personal Protective Equipment guidelines per United States Centers for Disease Control and World Health Organization, including mandatory face coverings, increased hand washing and significantly increased sanitation of hard surfaces. All travel has been suspended and company-sponsored marketing activities have been curbed due to the COVID-19-related restrictions.

As government authorities institute restrictions on commercial operations, we are working to ensure compliance while also maintaining business continuity for essential operations in its facilities.

Our senior management team meets regularly and continually monitors and tracks relevant data, including guidance from local, national, and international health agencies and is committed to continuing to communicate with employees as more information is available to share. Neither our Italy facility nor California facility has shut down as a result of COVID-19.

While the ultimate health and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic are highly uncertain, we expect that our business operations and results of operations, including revenue, earnings and cash flows, will not be materially impacted for the balance of 2020.

As of July 31, 2020, we are aware that one of our employees in the California facility contracted COVID-19 in May 2020. The affected employee, along with nine other production employees who worked in the same production room and three quality assurance employees who spent most of their time in the same production room, were sent home and asked to self-quarantine for two weeks.

While the ultimate health and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic are highly uncertain, we expect that our business operations and results of operations, including revenue, earnings and cash flows, will not be adversely impacted for the balance of 2020. To mitigate any potential impact of COVID-19 on our business operations and results, we have expanded our supplier base so that we no longer rely on a sole source supplier for any of our raw materials and keep close contact with them to anticipate any problems with keeping up with the demand for our products. n this way, we anticipate being able to obtain raw materials at competitive prices and reduce the risk of supply interruptions. To date, there has been no impact on our liquidity, and we have not had the need to raise capital, reduce our capital expenditures, or modify any terms or contractual arrangements in response to COVID-19. Any changes in our operations have been due to the growth of our business, which was planned prior to the pandemic.

Order Fulfillment

We receive orders either by purchase orders pursuant to a previously agreed upon customer commitment or by a stand-alone purchase order from the customer. In either situation, the product is manufactured, packaged, and shipped either to a third-party cold storage facility or directly to the customer utilizing a third-party freight company. We utilize multiple third-party common carriers for all of our shipping needs.

Sales and Marketing

General

Sam Galletti and Sarah Galletti lead our sales and marketing efforts. Each has extensive experience in food product sales to grocery retailers. Ms. Galletti, as the creator of the Tattooed Chef brand, is uniquely suited to work with retailers to educate them about the brand, respond quickly to their concerns, and consult on food trends.

As we grow our Tattooed Chef brand, we expect to expand our sales and marketing team by adding dedicated personnel to service new retail customers. We may also add outside sales representatives and/or brokers to extend our sales efforts.

We anticipate that marketing expenditures will primarily be on product demonstration allowances, slotting fees (as we expand into conventional retail grocery stores), and other similar in-store marketing costs, which we believe will be effective. Some of these expenses will be categorized as deductions to revenue under GAAP as opposed to marketing expense.

Sarah Galletti continues to lead our marketing efforts with respect to the Tattooed Chef brand. However, as we expand and grow our business, we anticipate that we may need to build out a brand management team with a focus on digital marketing and social media.

We utilize food brokers in conjunction with our internal sales team to establish and manage customer relationships.

Digital Marketing and Social Media

We drive consumer awareness and interest in our brand via (i) social and digital media, (ii) a public relations/marketing services firm that provides assistance in scheduling interviews and various news articles, (iii) ambassador and influencer activations, and (iv) customer media. We maintain a registered domain website at www.tattooedchef.com. The website is used as a platform to promote our Tattooed Chef brand and products, provide information about the brand, as well as where to purchase products in stores. In addition, we intend to launch our direct-to-consumer platform in the latter half of fiscal year 2020 through our website. We use social media platforms to build customer engagement and to directly reach desirable target demographics such as millennials and “Generation Z.” Below is a summary of our various social media platforms.

•        Facebook:    We maintain a Facebook page, which is used to engage customers, distribute brand information and news, and publish videos and pictures promoting our brand.

•        Instagram:    We maintain an active Instagram account, @tattooedcheffoods, which is used to publish content related to our products, and to better connect with potential and existing consumers.

•        Twitter:    We maintain an active Twitter account, @tattooed_chef, which is used to disseminate trending news and information, as well as to publish short format product information and tips. We also regularly interact with its consumers through this platform.

Employees

As of July 31, 2020, we had approximately 400 full-time employees, including workers hired through staffing agencies. None of our employees are represented by a labor union, and we have never experienced a labor-related work stoppage. We believe our employee relations are good. Employment in Italy is either direct with us or through an agency similar to the United States. There are no labor unions representing our Italian employees.

169

Innovation and Product Development

We invest significant resources in innovating food concepts and creating new plant-based food products, based on market trends.

Our product development process begins with identifying popular food trends that we believe we can successfully bring to market. We then develop several prototype versions of each product and present these ideas internally and ultimately to various retail customers for feedback. We integrate this feedback into further product refinement, often in an iterative process, until we believe the product formulation is finalized. We do not utilize third-party product development firms to innovate products on our behalf.

Furthermore, we intend to increase our investment in product development and production capabilities to continue to innovate within our core product categories.

Trademarks and Other Intellectual Property

We own domestic copyrights and domestic and foreign trademarks, trademark applications, registrations, and other proprietary rights that are important to our business. Depending upon the jurisdiction, trademarks and their corresponding registrations are valid if they are used in the regular course of trade and/or their registrations are properly maintained. Our primary trademarks include the Tattooed Chef® and People Who Give a Crop™.

We aggressively protect our intellectual property rights by relying on trademark, copyright, trade dress and trade secret laws. We own the domain names: www.ittellafoods.com and www.tattooedchef.com.

We do not have any issued patents and we are not pursuing any patent applications.

We consider our marketing, promotions and products as a trade secret and thus, keep this information confidential. In addition, we consider as proprietary any information related to formulas, processes, know-how and methods used in production and manufacturing as trade secrets. We believe we have taken reasonable measures to keep the aforementioned items, as well as our business and marketing plans, customer lists and contracts, reasonably protected, and they are, accordingly, not readily ascertainable by the public.

Government Regulation

We are subject to extensive laws and regulations in the United States by federal, state and local government authorities and in Italy and the European Union.

Our activities in the United States are subject to regulation by various governmental agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”), and the Departments of Commerce and Labor, as well as voluntary regulation by other bodies. Various state and local agencies also regulate our activities.

In Italy, our food production activities are regulated by specific legislation and compliance is overseen is regulated by specific legislation and compliance by the Italian Ministry of Health (“MOH”), with administrative authority further delegated to local agencies, each referred to as an Azienda Sanitaria Locale (“ASL”). The MOH, among other legal and regulatory regimes, prescribe the requirements and establish the standards for quality and safety and regulate ingredients, manufacturing, labeling and other marketing and advertising to consumers.

The facilities in which our products and ingredients are manufactured must register with the FDA and MOH, comply with current good manufacturing practices, or cGMPs, and comply with a range of food safety requirements established by, and implemented under, the Food Safety and Modernization Act of 2011 (the “FSMA”) and applicable foreign food safety and manufacturing requirements. Federal, state, local and foreign regulators have the authority to inspect our facilities to evaluate compliance with applicable requirements. Regulatory authorities also require that certain nutrition and product information appear on product labels, that product labels and labeling be truthful and non-misleading, and that our marketing and advertising be truthful, non-misleading and not deceptive to consumers. We are also prohibited from making certain types of claims about its products (including for example, in the United States, nutrient content claims and health claims, whether express or implied), unless we satisfy certain regulatory requirements.

170

In addition to federal regulatory requirements in the United States, California imposes its own manufacturing and labeling requirements. California requires facility registration with the relevant state food safety agency, and those facilities are subject to state inspection as well as federal inspection. We believe that our products are manufactured and labeled in material compliance with all relevant state requirements. We monitor developments at the state and country (U.S. federal and European Union) level that could apply to our products.

In addition, we are subject to labor and employment laws, laws governing advertising, privacy laws, safety regulations and other laws, including consumer protection regulations that regulate retailers or govern the promotion and sale of merchandise. Our operations, and those of its distributors and suppliers, are also subject to various laws and regulations relating to environmental protection and worker health and safety matters. We monitor changes in these laws and believes that we are in material compliance with applicable laws.

We will also be subject to disclosure requirements regarding abusive labor practices in portions of its supply chain under the California Supply Chain Act if our annual worldwide gross receipts exceed $100,000,000.

Quality Control/Food Safety

We utilize a comprehensive food safety and quality management program, which employs strict manufacturing procedures, expert technical knowledge on food safety science, employee training, ongoing process innovation, use of quality ingredients and both internal and independent auditing.

Our Paramount, California and Prossedi, Italy facilities each has a Food Safety Plan (“FSP”) that focuses on preventing food safety risks and is compliant with the requirements set forth under the FSMA. In addition, each facility has at least one Preventive Controls Qualified Individual who has successfully completed training in the development and application of risk-based preventive controls at least equivalent to that received under a standardized curriculum recognized by the FDA and by MOH.

All of our manufacturing sites and suppliers comply with the Global Food Safety Initiative. All of our manufacturing sites are certified against a standard recognized by British Retail Consortium (“BRC”). These standards are integrated food safety and quality management protocols designed specifically for the food sector and offer a comprehensive methodology to manage food safety and quality. Certification provides an independent and external validation that a product, process or service complies with applicable regulations and standards.

In addition to third-party inspections of our co-manufacturers, we have instituted audits to address topics such as allergen control; ingredient, packaging and product specifications; and sanitation. Under FSMA, each of our co-manufacturers is required to have a FSP, a Hazard Analysis Critical Control Plant plan or a hazard analysis critical control points plan that identifies critical pathways for contaminants and mandates control measures that must be used to prevent, eliminate or reduce relevant food-borne hazards.

Independent Certification

In the United States, our organic products are certified in accordance with the USDA’s National Organic Program through Quality Assurance International, a third-party certifying agency.

Each of our facilities has obtained several important certifications or verifications, including the BRC Food Safety certification, Non-GMO Project verification, USDA Organic certification, and a gluten-free certification from the Gluten-Free Certification Organization.

Our facility located in Italy is certified Kosher under the supervision of OK Kosher Certification.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of its operations in the normal course of business.

An indirect subsidiary of ours, Ittella Italy is involved in certain litigation related to the death of an independent contractor who fell off of the roof of Ittella Italy’s premises while performing pest control services. The decedent’s heirs initiated an action to recover certain pecuniary and non-pecuniary damages. Under Italian law, the president of an Italian company is automatically criminally charged if a workplace death occurs on site. Ittella Italy has engaged local

171

counsel and while local counsel does not believe it is probable that Ittella Italy or its president will be found culpable, Ittella Italy cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the litigation. Ittella Italy believes any required payment could be covered by an existing insurance policy, however it is not possible to determine the amount at which the insurance company will reimburse Ittella Italy or whether any reimbursement will be received at all.

We are not currently a party to any legal proceeding that we believe would adversely affect our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows and are not aware of any material legal proceedings contemplated by governmental authorities.

Corporate Information

Myjojo, Inc. is a Delaware corporation formed on May 21, 2020 and, upon completion of the Restructuring, will be the “Ittella Parent” referred to in this proxy statement. Myjojo, Inc. is the entity through which Salvatore Galletti owns his interests in the operating company, Ittella LLC. Myjojo California was initially formed as a California corporation on February 26, 2019, and was merged into Ittella Parent on May 27, 2020 with Ittella Parent as the surviving entity.

Ittella LLC was formed on April 10, 2019 as a result of the statutory conversion of Ittella Inc. Ittella Inc. was originally formed as Stonegate Foods, Inc. in California on February 19, 2003 and changed its name to Ittella International, Inc. on January 21, 2015. Ittella Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of Myjojo California as a result of a capital contribution by Salvatore Galletti of all of the outstanding stock of Ittella Inc to Myjojo California on March 27, 2019. On April 15, 2019, UMB acquired a 12.5% membership interest in Ittella, LLC in exchange for a cash contribution and other consideration. Consequently, Ittella LLC is currently owned 87.5% by Ittella Parent and 12.5% by UMB. Ittella LLC, in turn owns 100% of the membership interests of Ittella’s Chef. Ittella’s Chef in turn owns 70% of the equity interests in Ittella Italy. The other 30% of the equity interests of Ittella Italy are owned by Pizzo. Ittella’s Chef was converted into a limited liability company as a reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code.

Prior to the closing of the business combination, (i) UMB will contribute its ownership interests of Ittella LLC to Ittella Parent in exchange for stock of Ittella Parent and (ii) Pizzo will contribute its ownership interests in Ittella Italy to Ittella’s Chef in exchange for ownership interests in Ittella Parent. As a result of the foregoing, Ittella LLC will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ittella Parent, and Ittella Italy will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ittella’s Chef which is, in turn, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ittella LLC.

Project Lily, LLC was formed in Delaware on June 8, 2020 (“Project Lily”) and is a limited liability company controlled by Mr. Galletti. Mr. Galletti is the sole member of Project Lily. Prior to the closing of the business combination, Mr. Galletti will contribute approximately 2% of the shares of Ittella Parent to Project Lily. Mr. Galletti will then make a gift of the membership interests in Project Lily to his daughter, Sarah Galletti, and his son, Abel Galletti. It is expected that Sarah and Abel Galletti, after giving effect to these gifts, will each own approximately 25% of Project Lily; however, Salvatore Galletti will retain voting control of Project Lily.

ITTELLA PARENT MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the sections titled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information,” “Summary Historical Financial Information of Ittella Parent,” “Information About Ittella Parent” and the financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this proxy statement. Unless otherwise stated, the discussion below primarily reflects Ittella Parent’s historical condition and results of operations as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 and for Fiscal 2019 and Fiscal 2018, which are based on Ittella Parent’s audited consolidated financial statements as of the dates and for the years then ended (the “audited financial statements”) and as of March 31, 2020 and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, which are based on Ittella Parent’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods then ended (the “unaudited interim financial statements”).

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect future plans, estimates, beliefs and expected performance. The forward-looking statements are dependent upon events, risks and uncertainties that may be outside of Ittella Parent’s control. Ittella Parent’s actual results and timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including but not limited to, those discussed below and those discussed in the sections titled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Post-Combination Company’s Business and Industry” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included elsewhere in this proxy statement. Ittella Parent does not undertake any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements except as otherwise required by applicable law.

Overview

Ittella Parent is a rapidly-growing plant-based food company with operations in the United States and Italy, offering a broad portfolio of frozen, plant-based food products in private label and under the “Tattooed Chef” brand. Ittella Parent provides plant-based meals and snacks including, but not limited to, acai and smoothie bowls, zucchini spirals, riced cauliflower, vegetable bowls and cauliflower crust pizza to leading club store and food retailers in the United States.

Ittella Parent’s revenue in Fiscal 2019 was approximately $84.9 million, which represents a 79.5% increase from Fiscal 2018 revenue of $47.3 million. As of March 31, 2020, Ittella Parent’s products were sold in approximately 4,000 club and grocery outlets in the United States. Ittella Parent’s innovative plant-based products offer consumers a diverse portfolio of wholesome, clean label items that are convenient, without sacrificing on quality, nutritional value or freshness and that are great tasting.

During Fiscal 2019, Ittella Parent sold a substantial portion of its products to five customers, which accounted for approximately 95% of Fiscal 2019 revenue. Management believes its relationships with these customers are strong, and none have indicated any intent to cease or reduce the volume of business they do with Ittella Parent. As Ittella Parent grows “Tattooed Chef,” it expects to expand its sales and marketing team by adding more dedicated personnel to service additional retail customers. It is also contemplating adding outside sales representatives and/or brokers to extend its sales efforts. These efforts to add retail customers could partially mitigate customer concentration risk.

Segment Information

Ittella Parent has one operating segment and one reportable segment, as its chief decision maker, its Chief Executive Officer, reviews financial information on an aggregate basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance.

Trends and Other Factors Affecting Ittella Parent’s Operating Performance

Ittella Parent’s management team monitors the following trends and factors that could impact Ittella Parent’s operating performance.

•        Revenue Strategy — Historical growth has been predominately driven by sales of private label products. However, Ittella Parent’s current strategy is to grow sales of “Tattooed Chef” branded products, which have increased from approximately 4% of total revenues in Fiscal 2018 to approximately 22% of total revenues in Fiscal 2019. Ittella Parent expects growth of “Tattooed Chef” sales to outpace that of private

173

label, which will require Ittella Parent to plan, develop and execute a detailed marketing strategy. See “Information About Ittella Parent — Our Growth Strategy — Continue to Grow the Tattooed Chef Brand” for further discussion regarding growing sales of branded products.

•        Long-Term Consumer Trends, and Demand — Ittella Parent participates in the large $55 billion North American frozen food category. Ittella Parent believes its innovative food offerings converge with consumer trends and demands for great-tasting, wholesome, plant-based foods made from sustainably sourced ingredients, including preferences for flexitarian, vegetarian, vegan, organic, and gluten-free lifestyles. Ittella Parent expects consumer trends towards these healthier lifestyles to continue. See “Information About Ittella Parent — Our Market Opportunity” and “Information About Ittella Parent — Our Competitive Strengths — Brand Mission Aligned with Consumer Trends” for further discussion regarding the frozen food category and consumer trends.

•        Competition — Ittella Parent competes with companies that operate in the highly competitive plant-based and frozen food segments, many of which have greater financial resources. Ittella Parent believes that principal competitive factors in this category include, among others, taste, nutritional profile, ingredients, cost and convenience.

•        Operating Costs — Ittella Parent’s operating costs include raw materials, direct labor and other wages and related benefits, manufacturing overhead, selling, distribution, and other general and administrative expenses. Ittella Parent manages the impact of these operating costs on its business through select raw material contracts with growers and cooperatives in Italy that allows Ittella Parent to better control ingredient costs. Ittella Parent anticipates operating expenses to increase as a result of operating as a public company.

•        Sales and Marketing Costs — As Ittella Parent grows its “Tattooed Chef” product portfolio, it expects to expand its sales and marketing team by adding more dedicated personnel to service additional retail customers. It is also contemplating adding outside sales representatives and/or brokers to extend its sales efforts. Marketing expenditures are expected to be primarily on product demonstration allowances, slotting fees (as it expands to retail grocery stores) and other similar in-store marketing costs. Some of these expenses will be categorized as net deductions to revenue under GAAP as opposed to marketing expense. As Ittella Parent expands and grows revenue, it will consider building out a brand management team (to support Ms. Galletti, who currently oversees all “Tattooed Chef” marketing efforts) to focus on digital marketing, social media and other marketing functions.

•        Commodity Trends — Ittella Parent’s profitability depends, among other things, on its ability to anticipate and react to raw material and food costs. Ittella Parent sources its vegetables from a number of growing regions within Italy, and North and South America. The prices of vegetables are subject to many factors beyond Ittella Parent’s control, such as the number and size of growers that produce crops, the vagaries of these farming businesses (including poor harvests due to adverse weather conditions, natural disasters and pestilence), changes in national or world economic conditions, political events, tariffs, trade wars or other conditions in Italy, North America, or South America.

•        Debt Obligations — Ittella Parent regularly evaluates its debt obligations, which primarily consist of a line of credit previously in the amount of $15 million used to finance working capital requirements. As of March 31, 2020 the outstanding balance on the line of credit was $14.4 million as compared to outstanding balances as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 of $10.0 million and $7.0 million, respectively.

•        Currency Hedging — Ittella Parent currently incurs some costs and expenses in Euros and expects in the future to incur additional costs and expenses in that currency. As a result, revenues and results of operations are subject to foreign exchange fluctuations. Effective as of the second quarter of 2020, Ittella Parent utilizes currency hedging (or purchases forward currency contracts) to mitigate currency exchange rate fluctuations.

•        Acquisitions — Ittella Parent is primarily focused on organic business growth rather than growth through acquisitions; however, it will consider any opportunities that are strategically aligned with its mission and needs.

174

•        COVID-19 — The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to constitute a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” on January 30, 2020 and finally characterized it as a “pandemic” on March 11, 2020. This corresponds closely with the beginning of COVID-19’s impact on the consumption, distribution and production of our products. Ittella Parent is taking necessary preventive actions and implementing additional measures to protect its employees who are working on and off site, including implementing a series of physical distancing and hygienic practices to further support the health and safety of our employees in compliance with suggested Personal Protective Equipment guidelines per United States Centers for Disease Control and World Health Organization, including mandatory face coverings, increased hand washing and significantly increased sanitation of hard surfaces. Generally, producers of food products have been deemed “essential industries” by federal, state, and local governments and are exempt from certain COVID-19-related restrictions on business operations. Ittella Parent’s management team continues to meet regularly and monitor customer and consumer demands, in addition to guidance from local, national, and international health agencies, and will adapt its plans as needed to continue to meet these demands. While the ultimate health and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic are highly uncertain, Ittella Parent expects that its business operations and results of operations, including revenue, earnings and cash flows, will not be materially impacted for the balance of 2020.

While the ultimate health and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic are highly uncertain, we expect that our business operations and results of operations, including revenue, earnings and cash flows, will not be adversely impacted for the balance of 2020. To mitigate any potential impact of COVID-19 on our business operations and results thereof, we have diversified our suppliers of raw materials and keep close contact with them to anticipate any problems with keeping up with the demand for our products. We have expanded our supplier base so that we no longer rely on a sole source supplier for any of our raw materials. In this way, we are able to ensure we are getting competitive prices and reduce the risk of supply interruptions. To date, there has been no impact on our liquidity, and we have not had the need to raise capital, reduce our capital expenditures, or modify any terms or contractual arrangements in response to COVID-19. Any changes in our operations have been due to the growth of our business, which was planned prior to the pandemic.

Use of Adjusted EBITDA

Ittella Parent seeks to achieve profitable, long term growth by monitoring and analyzing key operating metrics, including Adjusted EBITDA. Ittella Parent’s management uses this non-GAAP financial metric and related computations to evaluate and manage the business and to plan and make near and long-term operating and strategic decisions. The management team believes this non-GAAP financial metric is useful to investors to provide supplemental information in addition to the GAAP financial results. Management reviews the use of its primary key operating metrics from time-to-time. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a substitute for any GAAP financial measure and, as calculated, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of performance of other companies in other industries or within the same industry. The Ittella Parent management team believes it is useful to provide investors with the same financial information that it uses internally to make comparisons of historical operating results, identify trends in underlying operating results, and evaluate its business. Reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures are provided in “Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” which appears later in this section.

Revenue

Total revenue increased by $16.2 million, or 95.0%, to $33.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to $17.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The revenue increase was primarily driven by an increase in volume for both “Tattooed Chef” branded products and private label products, primarily due to expansion in the number of U.S. distribution points, as well as increased volume at existing retail customers and new product introductions including Acai Bowls, Spring Vegetable Blends, Buffalo Cauliflower burgers, and other value-add rice cauliflower products. These increases were partially offset by an $8.1 million decline in legacy, fish and commodity vegetable products for select private label retailers, many of which have been replaced with newer product introductions.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold increased $10.3 million, or 75.7%, to $23.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to $13.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, primarily due to the increase in volume of products manufactured, stored and shipped, resulting in increased costs of raw materials (in absolute dollars), direct labor and additional freight and storage costs. However, cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2020 decreased to 72.1% of revenue from 80.0% of revenue in the same period in the prior year for the reasons described in “— Gross Profit and Gross Margin” immediately below.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit increased $5.8 million, or 172.2%, to $9.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Gross margin in the three months ended March 31, 2020 improved to 27.9% from 20.0% in the three months ended March 31, 2019. The improvement in gross profit and gross margin was primarily due to purchasing power with respect to raw materials and production efficiencies, both associated with larger sales volume.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased $0.9 million, or 60.0%, to $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, primarily due to a $0.5 million increase in sales and marketing expenses resulting from a shift in focus to building the Tattooed Chef brand and a $0.4 million

176

increase in general and administrative expenses resulting from higher wages and related expenses, headcount additions required to manage the increase in revenue, as well as increased supply and equipment costs relating to increased production. However, as a percentage of revenue, total operating expenses improved to 7.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to 8.8% for the prior year period. Ittella Parent anticipates operating expenses to increase as a result of operating as a public company after the Closing, both in dollar amounts and as a percentage of revenue. See “Risk Factors The Company will incur significantly increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and its management will be required to devote substantial time to compliance efforts.”

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 increased slightly, to $224,000 from $190,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, due to Ittella Parent’s increased average debt balances, which was partially offset by a lower average interest rates over the prior period.

Provision for Income Taxes

Ittella Parent has elected to be taxed as an S corporation for federal and state income tax purposes. Accordingly, the taxable income of Ittella Parent for federal and certain state purposes is attributed to, and reported by, its stockholders. Ittella Parent is subject to state franchise tax.

Ittella Italy is subject to foreign taxes applicable to its income derived in Italy. These taxes include income tax.

Income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are attributable to state franchise taxes, as there was very little income in Ittella Italy during that period. By contract, income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were attributable to a significant improvement in net income in Ittella Italy.

Upon completion of the business combination, Ittella Parent will lose its S corporation status. Thus, Ittella Parent anticipates significant increases in income tax expenses for periods after the completion of the business combination.

Net Income

Net income increased by $4.2 million, or 247.1%, to $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The improvement in net income was primarily the result of the increase in revenues and gross profit, as well as operating expense leverage compared to the prior-year period.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), Net of Tax

Other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, represents the unrealized gain or loss of the Euro currency translation resulting from income statement accounts that are translated to U.S. dollars based on an average monthly exchange rate. Balance sheet accounts are translated to U.S. dollars at the balance sheet date.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA increased by nearly $5.0 million, or 238.1%, to $7.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The improvement in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily the result of the increase in revenues, gross profit and operating expense leverage compared to the prior-year period. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, see “— Non-GAAP Financial Measures — Adjusted EBITDA”.

Revenue

Revenue increased by $37.6 million, or 79.5%, to $84.9 million for Fiscal 2019 as compared to Fiscal 2018 revenue of $47.3 million. The revenue increase was primarily due to an increase in volume for both “Tattooed Chef” and private label products, primarily driven by expansion in the number of U.S. distribution points, increased revenue at existing retail customers and new product introductions such as the acai bowl and vegetable spirals, partially offset by a decline in legacy fish products that are expected to be phased out in future periods.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold increased $27.1 million, or 61.4%, to $71.2 million for Fiscal 2019 as compared to $44.1 million for Fiscal 2018, primarily due to the increase in volume of products manufactured, stored and shipped, resulting in increased costs of raw materials (in absolute dollars), direct labor and additional freight and storage costs. However, cost of goods sold for Fiscal 2019 decreased to 83.9% of revenue from 93.3% of revenue in Fiscal 2018 for the reasons described in “— Gross Profit and Gross Margin” immediately below.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit increased $10.5 million, or 328.1%, to $13.7 million for Fiscal 2019 as compared to $3.2 million for Fiscal 2018. Gross margin in Fiscal 2019 improved to 16.1% from 6.7% in Fiscal 2018. The improvement in gross profit and gross margin was primarily due to purchasing power with respect to raw materials and production efficiencies, both associated with larger sales volume.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased $4.3 million, or 134.4%, to $7.5 million for Fiscal 2019 as compared to $3.2 million for Fiscal 2018, primarily due to a $1.0 million increase in sales and marketing expenses resulting from a shift in focus to building the Tattooed Chef brand and a $3.1 million increase in general and administrative expenses resulting from higher wages and related expenses, headcount additions required to manage the increase in revenue, and increased rent due to facility expansion. As a percentage of revenue, total operating expenses increased to 8.8% for Fiscal 2019 from 6.8% for Fiscal 2018. Ittella Parent anticipates operating expenses to increase further as a result of operating as a public company after the Closing, both in dollar amounts and as a percentage of revenue. See “Risk Factors — The Company will incur significantly increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and its management will be required to devote substantial time to compliance efforts.”

178

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased to $0.5 million for Fiscal 2019, compared to $0.3 million for Fiscal 2018, due to Ittella Parent’s increased debt balances, which was partially offset by a lower average interest rate during Fiscal 2018.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

Ittella Parent has elected to be taxed as an S corporation for federal and state income tax purposes. Accordingly, the taxable income of Ittella Parent for federal and certain state purposes is attributed to, and reported by, its stockholders. Ittella Parent is subject to state franchise taxes and limited (reduced rate) state income taxes.in California.

Ittella Italy is subject to foreign taxes applicable to its income derived in Italy.

Income tax expense for Fiscal 2019 was $154,000, compared to a benefit of $29,000 for Fiscal 2018, due to significantly higher taxable income for Ittella Italy in Fiscal 2019, partially offset by the use of net operating loss carryforwards in Italy. The benefit of $29,000 is attributable to the use of net operating loss carryforwards.

Upon completion of the business combination, Ittella Parent will lose its S corporation status. Thus, Ittella Parent anticipates significant increases in income tax expenses for periods after the completion of the business combination.

Net Income (Loss)

Net income (loss) increased by $6.0 million to $5.7 million for Fiscal 2019 as compared to a loss of $0.3 million for Fiscal 2018. The improvement in net income was primarily the result of the increase in revenues and gross profit.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), Net of Tax

Other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, represents the unrealized gain or loss of the Euro currency translation resulting from income statement accounts that are translated to U.S. dollars based on an average monthly exchange rate. Balance sheet accounts are translated to U.S. dollars at the balance sheet date.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $6.7 million to $7.0 million for Fiscal 2019 as compared to $0.3 million for Fiscal 2018. The improvement in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily the result of the increase in revenues and gross profit as compared to the prior-year period as well as the benefit of a non-recurring bad debt charge of $59,000 in Fiscal 2019 related to a specific product dispute.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Ittella Parent uses non-GAAP financial information and believes it is useful to investors as it provides additional information to facilitate comparisons of historical operating results, identify trends in operating results, and provide additional insight on how the management team evaluates the business. The Ittella Parent management team uses Adjusted EBITDA to make operating and strategic decisions, evaluate performance and comply with indebtedness related reporting requirements. Below are details on this non-GAAP measure and the non-GAAP adjustments that the management team makes in the definition of Adjusted EBITDA. The adjustments generally fall within the categories of non-cash items, acquisition and integration costs, business transformation initiatives, financing related costs and operating costs of a non-recurring nature. Ittella Parent believes this non-GAAP measure should be considered along with net income, the most closely related GAAP financial measure. Reconciliations between adjusted EBTIDA and net income are below, and discussion regarding underlying GAAP results throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

As new events or circumstances arise, the definition of Adjusted EBITDA could change. When the definitions change, Ittella Parent will provide the updated definition and present the related non-GAAP historical results on a comparable basis.

179

Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation

Ittella Parent defines EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA further adjusts EBITDA by certain non-recurring items that are not contemplated to continue going forward. Adjusted EBITDA is one of the key performance indicators Ittella Parent uses in evaluating its operating performance and in making financial, operating, and planning decisions. Ittella Parent believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to the users of this proxy statement in the evaluation of Ittella Parent’s operating performance.

The following table provides a reconciliation from Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2020, the three months ended March 31, 2019, and Fiscal 2019 and Fiscal 2018:

Pricing Policies

Ittella Parent negotiates different prices at its different club and retail customers based on product quantity and packaging configuration. At this time, Ittella Parent does not expect to adjust product prices from its current levels. However, Ittella Parent does acknowledge that competitive pressures, such as the introduction of additional plant-based products by its competitors, may require it to lower prices, increase marketing and advertising expenditures, or increase the use of discounting or promotional campaigns, each of which may affect its margins, operating results or profitability.

Seasonality

Historically, Ittella Parent experienced greater demand for certain of its products during the third and fourth quarters, primarily due to increased demand in the summer season and increased holiday orders from retailers and club stores. Ittella Parent expects that seasonality in revenue will decrease as its business grows and additional products are introduced.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2020, Ittella Parent had $7.4 million of cash. Ittella Parent believes its cash, availability under its credit line (See “— Indebtedness” below), and cash flows from operations, will be sufficient to support its planned operations for at least the next 12 months. Ittella Parent finances its operations and capital expenditures through a combination of internally generated cash from operations and the ability to draw on Ittella Parent’s line of credit. Ittella Parent’s current working capital needs are to support accounts receivable growth, manage inventory to meet demand forecasts and support operational growth. Ittella Parent’s long-term financial needs primarily include working capital requirements, capital expenditures, and fulfilling any scheduled repayment of existing indebtedness. Ittella Parent may also pursue strategic acquisition opportunities that may impact its future cash requirements. There are a number of factors that may negatively impact Ittella Parent’s available sources of funds in the future including the ability to generate cash from operations and borrow on its debt facilities. The amount of cash generated from operations is dependent upon factors such as the successful execution of Ittella Parent’s business strategy and general economic conditions.

Ittella Parent may opportunistically raise debt capital, subject to market and other conditions. Additionally, as part of its growth strategies, Ittella Parent may also raise debt capital for strategic alternatives and general corporate purposes. If additional financing is required from outside sources, Ittella Parent may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to it or at all. If Ittella Parent is unable to raise additional capital when desired, its business, operating results, and financial condition may be adversely affected.

180

Indebtedness

In December 2019, Ittella Parent amended and increased its existing line of credit agreement to $15 million. This line of credit provides for borrowings up to (a) 90% of the net amount of eligible accounts receivables; plus, (b) the least of (i) the sum of: (A) 50% of the net amount of eligible inventory; plus (B) 45% of the net amount of eligible in-transit inventory; (ii) $5 million; or (iii) 50% of the aggregate amount of revolving loans outstanding, minus (C) the sum of all reserves. This line of credit is secured by substantially all of Ittella Parent’s assets. Outstanding borrowings under this line of credit bear interest at the sum of (i) the higher of the prime rate or LIBOR rate plus 2.0% and (ii) 1%. As of March 31, 2020, approximately $14.4 million was drawn on this line of credit and the borrowing base was the full $15 million.

In September 2018, Ittella Parent exercised an option within this line of credit to enter into a promissory note with a financial institution in the amount of $1,000,000. The note accrues interest at the sum of (i) the higher of the prime rate or LIBOR rate plus 2.0% and (ii) 1.5% and has a maturity date of May 2021. The note is secured by substantially all of the assets of Ittella Parent.

A letter of credit in the amount of 750,000 Euros was outstanding at each of March 31, 2020, December 31, 2019 and as of March 31, 2019. The letter of credit was issued to guaranty the Italian facility lease.

Liquidity

Ittella Parent generally funds its short- and long-term liquidity needs through a combination of cash on hand, cash flows generated from operations, and available borrowings under its line of credit (See “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Indebtedness” above). Ittella Parent’s management regularly reviews certain liquidity measures to monitor performance. Following a successful business combination that would result in an increase to balance sheet cash, Ittella Parent will be reviewing its liquidity measures and will provide additional policy guidance within its next reporting period.

Cash Flows

Operating Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, Ittella Parent realized net income of $5.9 million. Net cash used in operating activities of $44,000 resulted from a $5.6 million increase in accounts receivable due to increased revenue and a $4.7 million increase in inventory to meet anticipated growth in sales, partially offset by a $3.7 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

For Fiscal 2019, Ittella Parent realized net income of $5.6 million. Net cash used in operating activities of $0.9 million resulted from a $6.8 million increase in inventory to meet growth in anticipated sales and a $2.6 million increase in accounts receivable resulting from that growth, partially offset by a $3.5 million increase in accounts payable and by a $0.7 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense and a $1.4 million increase in prepaid expenses.

For Fiscal 2018, Ittella Parent incurred a net loss of $0.3 million. Net cash used in operating activities of $5.0 million resulted from increases of $7.1 million of inventory to enable growth and $4.4 million of accounts receivable resulting from that growth, partially offset by an increase of $8.7 million in accounts payable and by $0.4 million in depreciation and amortization expenses, $0.7 million of other comprehensive losses, and $1.7 million of prepaid expenses.

181

For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and for Fiscal 2019 and 2018 depreciation and amortization expense was $0.2 million, $0.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Ittella Parent anticipates that its depreciation and amortization expense will increase in Fiscal 2020 based on Fiscal 2019 capital expenditures on property, plant and equipment and expected capital expenditures in Fiscal 2020 on property, plant and equipment to expand production capabilities in both the Italy and California facilities.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities relates to capital expenditures to support growth and investment in property, plant and equipment to expand production capacity, tenant improvements, and to a lesser extent, replacement of existing equipment.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, net cash used in investing activities was $1.7 million and consisted of $0.7 million in cash outflows for manufacturing facility tenant improvements and manufacturing equipment at Ittella Parent’s California location, and $1.0 million in cash outflows related to production capacity expansion projects at Ittella Parent’s Italy facility.

For Fiscal 2019, net cash used in investing activities was $3.7 million and consisted of $2.7 million in cash outflows for manufacturing facility tenant improvements and manufacturing equipment at Ittella Parent’s California location, and $1.0 million in cash outflows related to production capacity expansion projects at Ittella Parent’s Italy facility.

For Fiscal 2018, net cash used in investing activities was $1.9 million and consisted of $0.5 million in cash outflows for capacity expansion projects at Ittella Parent’s California location, and $1.4 million in cash outflows related to equipment replacement and capacity expansion projects at Ittella Parent’s Italy facility.

Financing Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, net cash provided by financing activities was $4.5 million primarily attributable to a $4.3 million increase in Ittella Parent’s borrowings under its credit facility to support working capital requirements to fund growth.

For Fiscal 2019, net cash provided by financing activities was $8.8 million consisting of $6.0 million in capital contributions resulting from the 12.5% minority investment by UMB, and $3.0 million of borrowings under Ittella Parent’s credit facility to support working capital requirements to fund growth, partially offset by $0.2 million in dividends and $0.2 million in repayment of debt to related parties.

For Fiscal 2018, net cash provided by financing activities was $6.2 million consisting of $5.5 million of borrowings under Ittella Parent’s line of credit under its credit facility to support working capital requirements to fund growth, additional borrowings of $1.6 million in the form of a term loan under the line of credit to fund production capacity expansion projects, partially offset by $0.5 million in dividends and $0.5 million of debt repayments.

As of March 31, 2020, Ittella Parent had borrowed $14.4 million of the available $15.0 million under its credit facility.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Ittella Parent has no obligations, assets or liabilities that would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2020. Ittella Parent does not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, that have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Ittella Parent is exposed to certain market risks in the ordinary course of business. These risks primarily consist of interest rates, raw material prices and foreign exchange risk as follows:

Interest Rate Risk

Ittella Parent is subject to interest rate risk in connection with its line of credit with Marquette Business Credit, LLC. See “— Liquidity and Capital Resources — Indebtedness” above. Based on the average interest rate on this line of credit during the Fiscal 2019 and to the extent that borrowings were outstanding, Ittella Parent does not believe that a 1.0% change in the interest rate would have a material effect on its results of operations or financial condition.

Raw Material Risk

Ittella Parent’s profitability depends, among other things, on its ability to anticipate and react to raw material and food costs. Ittella Parent sources its vegetables from a number of growing regions within Italy, North and South America. The prices of vegetables are subject to many factors beyond Ittella Parent’s control, such as the number and size of growers that produce crops, the vagaries of these farming businesses (including poor harvests due to adverse weather conditions, natural disasters and pestilence), changes in national or world economic conditions, political events, tariffs, trade wars or other conditions in Italy, North or South America.

Prior to each growing season, Ittella Parent obtains written commitments as to quantity and price from a number of growers in order to mitigate price volatility, who commit to supply its projected needs, which commitments are then followed by written purchase orders closer to the start of the harvest season. When necessary (whether as a result of greater than anticipated demand from our customers, or poor crop yields due to inclement weather, infestation and the like), Ittella Parent has been able to obtain substitute or additional product from other sources or on the spot market on satisfactory terms.

Ittella Parent engages the services of an agronomist to assist in managing forecasting and scheduling to help provide it with a consistent supply of crops throughout the growing season to support its year-round production schedule. Ittella Parent continues to expand its supply chain to help ensure the certainty of supply of the highest quality raw materials, and believes there to be ample supply in the market of its key supply inputs.

Foreign Exchange Risk

Ittella Parent is exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange risk related primarily to third-party purchases (such as ingredient purchases) and transactions with Ittella Italy. Additionally, Ittella Parent is exposed to volatility in the translation of the Euro to U.S. dollars. The impact of possible Euro devaluations can impact Ittella Parent’s results and financial guidance. Ittella Parent is reviewing the implementation of a hedging program related to Euro futures contracts.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Ittella Parent’s management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on its consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In preparing its financial statements, Ittella Parent makes estimates, assumptions, and judgments that can have a significant impact on its reported revenue, results of operations, and comprehensive net income or loss, as well as on the value of certain assets and liabilities on its balance sheet during, and as of, the reporting periods. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are necessary and are made based on its historical experience, market trends and on other assumptions and factors that Ittella Parent believes to be reasonable under the circumstances because future events and their effects on Ittella Parent’s results of operations and value of its assets cannot be determined with certainty. These estimates may change as

183

new events occur or additional information is obtained. Ittella Parent may periodically be faced with uncertainties, the outcomes of which are not within its control and may not be known for a prolonged period of time. Because the use of estimates is inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates or assumptions.

The critical accounting estimates, assumptions, and judgments that Ittella Parent believes have the most significant impact on its consolidated financial statements are described below.

Revenue Recognition

Ittella Parent sells plant-based meals and snacks including, but not limited to, acai and smoothie bowls, zucchini spirals, riced cauliflower, vegetable bowls and cauliflower crust pizza primarily in the U.S. and Italy. All of Ittella Parent’s revenue relates to contracts with customers. Ittella Parent’s accounting contracts are from purchase orders or purchase orders combined with purchase contracts. Revenue recognition is completed on a point in time basis when product control is transferred to the customer. In general, control transfers to the customer when the product is shipped or delivered to the customer based upon applicable shipping terms. Customer contracts generally do include more than one performance obligation and the performance obligations in Ittella Parent’s contracts are satisfied within one year. No payment terms beyond one year are granted at contract inception.

Most contracts also include some form of variable consideration. The most common forms of variable consideration include discounts and demonstration costs. Variable consideration is treated as a reduction in revenue when product revenue is recognized. Depending on the specific type of variable consideration, Ittella Parent uses either the expected value or most likely amount method to determine the variable consideration. Ittella Parent reviews and updates its estimates and related accruals of variable consideration each period based on the terms of the agreements, historical experience, and any recent changes in the market.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable is recorded at invoiced amount. Ittella Parent extends credit to its customers based on an evaluation of a customer’s financial condition and collateral is generally not required. Ittella Parent maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated uncollectible accounts receivable. The allowance is based on Ittella Parent’s assessment of known delinquent accounts, historical experience, and other currently available evidence of the collectability and the aging of accounts receivable. Although management believes the current allowance is sufficient to cover existing exposures, there can be no assurance against the deterioration of a major customer’s creditworthiness, or against defaults that are higher than what has been experienced historically.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Valuation Allowances for Deferred Tax Assets

Ittella Parent establishes an income tax valuation allowance when available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, Ittella Parent considers the amounts and timing of expected future deductions or carryforwards and sources of taxable income that may enable utilization. Ittella Parent maintains an existing valuation allowance until enough positive evidence exists to support its reversal. Changes in the amount or timing of expected future deductions or taxable income may have a material impact on the level of income tax valuation allowances. Ittella Parent’s assessment of the realizability of the deferred tax assets requires judgment about its future results. Inherent in this estimation is the requirement for Ittella Parent to estimate future book and taxable income and possible tax planning strategies. These estimates require Ittella Parent to exercise judgment about its future results, the prudence and feasibility of possible tax planning strategies, and the economic environment in which it does business. It is possible that the actual results will differ from the assumptions and require adjustments to the allowance. Adjustments to the allowance would affect future net income.

President, Ittella Italy

Salvatore “Sam Galletti, 57, has served as President and CEO of Ittella Parent since it was founded in 2009 as Stonegate Foods, Inc. (see “Information About Ittella Parent — Corporate Information”). Mr. Galletti has over 35 years’ experience in the food industry including prior operational and investor roles at Ittella, Sonora Mills, Good Karma Foods, and others, where he gained experience manufacturing a variety of products including seafood, breaded vegetables, grilled chicken and other organic foods. Through these prior roles, he has established key relationships with many of the retailers who now carry Ittella Parent’s products.

Mr. Galletti founded Ittella Parent primarily as an importer of Italian vegetables and other products, having realized the quality of produce from Italy surpassed that of available comparable produce from the U.S. Following Ittella Parent’s entrance into private label production and manufacturing of frozen products in its own facility, the name was changed to Ittella International in 2015.

Mr. Galletti will be the President and CEO of the post-combination company, primarily focusing on continued business development efforts to drive future growth.

Sarah Galletti, 34, holds the title of “Tattooed Chef” and Creative Director and since 2014 has led Ittella Parent’s transition from a producer of private label frozen vegetables to a branded, innovator of frozen plant-based meals and snacks. She is primarily responsible for the development of new products as well as the strategic and creative direction of the Tattooed Chef brand. Ms. Galletti remains highly involved in Ittella Parent’s sales and marketing efforts, including management of the Tattooed Chef brand’s digital marketing platform and development of Ittella Parent’s online DTC functionality.

Prior to her involvement with Ittella Parent, Ms. Galletti spent time in Italy working as a pizza and pastry chef at various eateries. Ms. Galletti’s time abroad led to her inspiration for the Tattooed Chef brand, having recognized a lack of high-quality, plant-based options available within the U.S. Since 2014, Ms. Galletti worked with Ittella Parent to develop and create the Tattooed Chef brand as an expression of her passion to supply consumers with unique, clean label, plant-based meals and other food products.

Stephanie Dieckmann, 41, has served as COO and CFO of Ittella Parent since 2017 and has over 12 years of combined food industry experience. Prior to this role, Ms. Dieckmann was CFO at APPA Fine Foods, a private label food manufacturer of fresh ready to eat, frozen meals, and grilled chicken products, where she worked for over seven years. She also held a financial controller position with The Perfect Bite Co., a gourmet frozen appetizer company. During her time at APPA Fine Foods, Ms. Dieckmann became acquainted with Mr. Galletti, who was a former investor in the company.

In her role as COO, Ms. Dieckmann is primarily responsible for all operations in the U.S. and has led growth of Ittella Parent from approximately $32.5 million in sales in 2017 to approximately $84.9 million in 2019. In her role as CFO, she oversees all accounting, business support, financial planning and analysis, treasury, real estate and tax functions of Ittella Parent.

Following the business combination, the post-combination company intends to split the roles of COO and CFO and has initiated a search for a new CFO. Ms. Dieckmann will remain with Tattooed Chef as COO and will continue to serve both roles until a new CFO is appointed.

185

Giuseppe Bardari, 44, is the current President of Ittella Italy. Mr. Bardari joined Ittella Parent in 2010 as a Director of International Business Development, which he held for seven years, and was responsible for the procurement of items from Italy and managing the process of items leaving Italy and arriving in the United States. In 2017, he became President of the Italian division of Ittella Parent, Ittella Italy. Mr. Bardari is responsible for overseeing all operations of Ittella Italy, which includes managing relationships with local growers, procuring imported ingredients and the exporting of finished products.

Mr. Bardari holds additional frozen food industry experience from over six years spent as an export manager for Gias Spa. He holds a Degree in Economics from Messina University and MBA with specialization for Hi-Tech from Sdipa/Bocconi.

Following the business combination, Mr. Bardari will continue to oversee all Italian operations of the post-combination company.

191

Post-Combination Company Executive Compensation

The following disclosure concerns the compensation of individuals who will serve as the Company’s named executive officers and directors following the completion of the business combination.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives Following the Business Combination

Following the Closing, the post-combination company intends to develop an executive compensation program that is designed to align compensation with the post-combination company’s business objectives and the creation of stockholder value, while enabling the post-combination company to attract, motivate and retain individuals who contribute to the long-term success of the post-combination company.

Decisions on the executive compensation program will be made by the compensation committee, which will be established at the Closing. The following discussion is based on the present expectations as to the executive compensation program to be adopted by the compensation committee. The executive compensation program actually adopted will depend on the judgment of the members of the compensation committee and may differ from that set forth in the following discussion.

We anticipate that decisions regarding executive compensation will reflect our belief that the executive compensation program must be competitive in order to attract and retain our executive officers. We anticipate that the compensation committee will seek to implement our compensation policies and philosophies by linking a significant portion of our executive officers’ cash compensation to performance objectives and by providing a portion of their compensation as long-term incentive compensation in the form of equity awards.

We anticipate that compensation for our executive officers will have three primary components: base salary, an annual cash incentive bonus and long-term equity-based incentive compensation.

Base Salary

We expect that the post-combination company will proceed as set forth under the section entitled “Employments Agreements” with respect to the employment base salary of Mr. Galletti, Ms. Galletti, Ms. Dieckmann, and Mr. Bardari. With respect to the other named executive officers, the compensation committee of the post-combination company will review and outline their base salary, subject to the terms of any employment agreements or severance agreement, and their base salary will be reviewed annually by the compensation committee based upon advice and counsel of its advisors.

Annual Bonuses

The post-combination company intends to use annual cash incentive bonuses for the named executive officers to tie a portion of their compensation to financial and operational objectives achievable within the applicable fiscal year. The post-combination company expects that, near the beginning of each year, the compensation committee will select the performance targets, target amounts, target award opportunities and other term and conditions of annual cash bonuses for the named executive officers. Following the end of each year, the compensation committee will determine the extent to which the performance targets were achieved and the amount of the award that is payable to the named executive officers. For fiscal year 2020, the post-combination company plans to establish an annual cash bonus plan that links the payment of cash bonus awards to the achievement of targeted financial performance goals.

Equity-Based Awards

The post-combination company intends to use equity-based awards to reward long-term performance of the named executive officers. The post-combination company believes that providing a meaningful portion of the total compensation package in the form of equity-based awards will align the incentives of its named executive officers with the interests of its stockholders and serve to motivate and retain the individual named executive officers.

192

Other Compensation

The post-combination company expects to continue to maintain various employee benefit plans, including medical, dental, life insurance and 401(k) plans, in which the named executive officers will participate. The post-combination company also expects to continue to provide certain perquisites to its named executive officers, subject to the compensation committee’s ongoing review.

Recoupment Policy

The compensation committee will administer the post-combination company’s policies consistent with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which would recover CEO and CFO incentive bonuses or equity awards in the event of a financial restatement that would trigger recoupment under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Deductibility of Executive Compensation

Section 162(m) of the Code denies a federal income tax deduction for certain compensation in excess of $1,000,000 per year paid to the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer and the three other most highly paid executive officers of a publicly traded corporation. We expect our policy will be to consider the tax impact of our compensation arrangements as one factor, among others, in evaluating and determining the structure, implementation, and amount of awards paid to our executive officers. However, to retain highly skilled executives and remain competitive with other employers, the compensation committee may authorize compensation that would not be deductible under Section 162(m) of the Code or otherwise if it determines that such compensation is in the best interests of the post-combination company and its stockholders, and maintaining tax deductibility will not be the sole consideration taken into account in determining what compensation arrangements are in our and our stockholders’ best interests. We expressly reserve the right to grant compensation that is not deductible, and we expect to do so.

Director Compensation following the Business Combination

Following the completion of the business combination, our compensation committee will determine the annual compensation to be paid to the members of our Board.

193

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Company

The following disclosure concerns the compensation of the Company’s officers and directors for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 (i.e., pre-business combination).

None of our executive officers or directors have received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. The Sponsor and our executive officers, directors, or any of their respective affiliates, are reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

The following summary of the material terms of the post-combination company’s securities following the business combination is not intended to be a complete summary of the rights and preferences of such securities. The full text of the proposed charter and proposed bylaws are attached as Annex C and Annex D to this proxy statement, respectively. We urge you to read the proposed charter and proposed bylaws in their entirety for a complete description of the rights and preferences of the post-combination company’s securities following the business combination.

Authorized and Outstanding Stock

The proposed charter authorizes the issuance of 1,010,000,000 shares, consisting of 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The outstanding shares of our common stock are, and the shares of common stock issuable in connection with the business combination pursuant to the Merger Agreement will be, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. As of the record date for the special meeting, there were             shares of common stock outstanding, held of record by approximately [        ] holders, no shares of preferred stock outstanding and [              ] warrants outstanding held of record by three holders. These numbers do not include DTC participants or beneficial owners holding shares through nominee names.

Common Stock

The proposed charter provides that the common stock will have identical rights, powers, preferences and privileges to current Class A common stock.

Voting Power

Except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided in any certificate of designation for any series of preferred stock, the holders of common stock possess all voting power for the election of our directors and all other matters requiring stockholder action and will at all times vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on matters to be voted on by stockholders.

Dividends

Holders of common stock will be entitled to receive dividends and other distributions, if any, in amounts declared from time to time by our Board in its discretion out of funds legally available therefor and shall share equally on a per share basis in these dividends and distributions.

Liquidation, Dissolution and Winding Up

In the event of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding-up of the post-combination company, the holders of the common stock will be entitled to receive an equal amount per share of all of our assets of whatever kind available for distribution to stockholders, after the rights of the holders of the preferred stock, if any, have been satisfied.

Preemptive or Other Rights

Our stockholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights and there are no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to our common stock.

Election of Directors

Our Board is divided into three classes, with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class (except for those directors appointed prior to the first annual meeting of stockholders of the post-business combination company) generally serving a term. Assuming the proposed charter is approved, Class I directors will serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders following the effectiveness of the proposed charter, Class II directors will serve until the second annual meeting of stockholders following the effectiveness of the proposed charter and Class III directors will serve until the third annual meeting of stockholders following the effectiveness of the proposed charter.

197

Preferred Stock

The proposed charter provides that shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. Our Board is authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences, the relative, participating, optional or other special rights and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series. Our Board is able, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the common stock and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of our Board to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of us or the removal of existing management. We have no preferred stock outstanding at the date hereof. Although we do not currently intend to issue any shares of preferred stock, we cannot assure you that we will not do so in the future.

Capital Stock Prior to the Business Combination

The following is a summary of our authorized capital stock prior to the business combination. On the effective date of the business combination, the currently issued and outstanding shares of Class B common stock will convert into 5,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, subject to adjustment, in accordance with the terms of the current charter. In addition, each of our outstanding warrants will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A common stock in accordance with its terms.

Units

Public Units

Each unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share.

Private Placement Units

Each private placement unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one private placement warrant.

Common Stock

Common Stock

Pursuant to the current charter, our authorized capital stock consists of 400,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value and 1,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, $0.0001 par value. Common stockholders of record are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. Holders of the Class A common stock and holders of the Class B common stock vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders, except as required by law. Unless specified in the current charter or current bylaws, or as required by applicable provisions of the DGCL or applicable stock exchange rules, the affirmative vote of a majority of our shares of common stock that are voted is required to approve any such matter voted on by our stockholders. Our Board is divided into two classes, each of which generally serves for a term of two years with only one class of directors being elected in each year. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voted for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. Our stockholders are entitled to receive ratable dividends when, as and if declared by the Board out of funds legally available therefor.

We are providing stockholders with the opportunity to redeem, upon the Closing, their public shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the business combination, including interest not previously released by us to pay our taxes, by the total number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein. The Sponsor and our directors and officers have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to the founder shares and any public shares they may hold in connection with the consummation of the business combination.

198

We will consummate the business combination only if a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock are voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal at the special meeting. However, the participation of the Sponsor, officers and directors, or their affiliates in privately negotiated transactions (as described in this proxy statement), if any, could result in the approval of the business combination even if a majority of the stockholders vote, or indicate their intention to vote, against the business combination.

The Sponsor has agreed to vote its founder shares and any public shares purchased during or after our IPO in favor of the business combination. As of the date of filing this proxy statement, the Sponsor, directors and officers do not currently hold any public shares. Public stockholders may elect to redeem their public shares whether they vote for or against the business combination.

Pursuant to the current charter, if we are unable to consummate a business combination by September 30, 2020, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem our public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the business combination, including interest not previously released to us to pay our taxes, by the total number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein, which redemption will completely extinguish our public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following the redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Sponsor and our officers and directors have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to the founder shares (i) in connection with the consummation of a business combination, (ii) if we fail to consummate our initial business combination by September 30, 2020, (iii) in connection with an expired or unwithdrawn tender offer, and (iv) otherwise upon our liquidation or if our Board resolves to liquidate the trust account and ceases to pursue the consummation of a business combination prior to September 30, 2020. However, if the Sponsor or any of our officers, directors or affiliates acquire public shares, they will be entitled to redemption rights with respect to those public shares if we fail to consummate our initial business combination within the required time period.

In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company after our initial business combination, holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision is made for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock.

Our stockholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to our common stock, except that upon the consummation of our initial business combination, subject to the limitations described herein, we will provide our stockholders with the opportunity to redeem, upon the Closing, their public shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the business combination, including interest not previously released by us to pay our taxes, by the total number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein.

Private Placement Shares

The shares of Class A common stock underlying the private placement units are identical to shares of Class A common stock that underlie the public units, except that the private placement shares are not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination subject to certain exceptions.

Founder Shares

The founder shares are identical to the shares of Class A common stock included in the units sold in the IPO, and holders of founder shares have the same stockholder rights as public stockholders, except that (i) the founder shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below, (ii) the Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed (A) to waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares and private placement shares and any public shares held by them in connection with the completion of our initial business combination, (B) to waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and public shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to our current charter (x) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete out initial

199

business combination by September 30, 2020 and (C) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any founder shares or private placement shares held by them if we fail to complete our initial business combination by September 30, 2020, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any public shares they hold if we fail to complete our initial business combination within such time period, (iii) the founder shares are shares of our Class B common stock that will automatically convert into shares of our Class A common stock at the time of our initial business combination, or at any time prior thereto at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as described herein, and (iv) are entitled to registration rights. If we submit our initial business combination to our public stockholders for a vote, the Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed pursuant to the letter agreement to vote any founder shares or private placement shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after this offering (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of our initial business combination.

The shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of our initial business combination on a one-for-one basis (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like), and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in the IPO prospectus and related to the Closing, the ratio at which shares of Class B common stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B common stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding upon completion of this offering (not including the shares of Class A common stock underlying the private placement units) plus all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial business combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial business combination, any private placement-equivalent securities issued to the Sponsor or its affiliates upon conversion of loans made to us). We cannot determine at this time whether a majority of the holders of our Class B common stock at the time of any future issuance would agree to waive such adjustment to the conversion ratio. They may waive such adjustment due to (but not limited to) the following: (i) closing conditions which are part of the Merger Agreement; (ii) negotiation with Class A stockholders on structuring an initial business combination; or (iii) negotiation with parties providing financing which would trigger the anti-dilution provisions of the Class B common stock. If such adjustment is not waived, the issuance would not reduce the percentage ownership of holders of our Class B common stock, but would reduce the percentage ownership of holders of our Class A common stock. If such adjustment is waived, the issuance would reduce the percentage ownership of holders of both classes of our common stock. Holders of founder shares may also elect to convert their shares of Class B common stock into an equal number of shares of Class A common stock, subject to adjustment as provided above, at any time. The term “equity-linked securities” refers to any debt or equity securities that are convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Class A common stock issues in a financing transaction in connection with our initial business combination, including but not limited to a private placement of equity or debt. Securities could be “deemed issued” for purposes of the conversion rate adjustment if such shares are issuable upon the conversion or exercise of convertible securities, warrants or similar securities.

Under the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, the Sponsor agrees to not transfer (except with respect to certain permitted transferees, who will be subject to the same transfer restrictions) (i) 1,250,000 shares held by it until the six month anniversary of the Closing and (ii) 3,750,000 shares held by them until the earlier of (x) one year after the completion of the business combination or earlier if, subsequent to our business combination, the closing price of the common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after our initial business combination, and (y) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of our public stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Preferred Stock

Our current charter provides that shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. Our Board will be authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences, the relative, participating, optional or other special rights and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series. Our Board will be able to, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the common stock and

200

could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of our Board to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of us or the removal of existing management. We have no preferred stock outstanding at the date hereof.

Warrants

Public Stockholders’ Warrants

Each warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of our Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing on the later of 12 months from the closing of the IPO or 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination. Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, a warrantholder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of Class A common stock. The warrants will expire five years after the completion of our initial business combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

We will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to our satisfying our obligations described below with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable and we will not be obligated to issue shares of Class A common stock upon exercise of a warrant unless Class A common stock issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will we be required to net cash settle any warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the share of Class A common stock underlying such unit.

Under the Warrant Agreement, we have agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of our initial business combination, we will use our best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, to cause such registration statement to become effective and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the Warrant Agreement. If a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of our initial business combination, warrantholders may, until there is an effective registration statement and during any period when we will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if our Class A common stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange and is not a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, we may, at our option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event we so elect, we will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event we do not so elect, we will use our best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

Once the warrants become exercisable, we may call the warrants for redemption:

•        in whole and not in part;

•        at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

•        upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”) to each warrantholder; and

•        if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before we send the notice of redemption to the warrantholders.

201

If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, we may not exercise our redemption right if the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or we are unable to effect such registration or qualification. We will use our best efforts to register or qualify such shares of common stock under the blue sky laws of the state of residence in those states in which the warrants were offered by us in the IPO.

We have established the last of the redemption criterion discussed above to prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and we issue a notice of redemption of the warrants, each warrantholder will be entitled to exercise its warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the Class A common stock may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) as well as the $11.50 warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.

If we call the warrants for redemption as described above, our management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise its warrant to do so on a “cashless basis.” In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis,” our management will consider, among other factors, our cash position, the number of warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on our stockholders of issuing the maximum number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of our warrants. If our management takes advantage of this option, all holders of warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (as defined in the next sentence) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the Class A common stock for the ten trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. If our management takes advantage of this option, the notice of redemption will contain the information necessary to calculate the number of shares of Class A common stock to be received upon exercise of the warrants, including the “fair market value” in such case. Requiring a cashless exercise in this manner will reduce the number of shares to be issued and thereby lessen the dilutive effect of a warrant redemption. We believe this feature is an attractive option to us if we do not need the cash from the exercise of the warrants after our initial business combination. If we call our warrants for redemption and our management does not take advantage of this option, the Sponsor and its permitted transferees would still be entitled to exercise their private placement warrants for cash or on a cashless basis using the same formula described above that other warrantholders would have been required to use had all warrantholders been required to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis, as described in more detail below.

A holder of a warrant may notify us in writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will not have the right to exercise such warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person’s affiliates), to the warrant agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% or 9.8% (or such other amount as a holder may specify) of the shares of Class A common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.

If the number of outstanding shares of Class A common stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Class A common stock, or by a split-up of shares of Class A common stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such stock dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding shares of Class A common stock. A rights offering to holders of Class A common stock entitling holders to purchase shares of Class A common stock at a price less than the fair market value will be deemed a stock dividend of a number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Class A common stock actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for Class A common stock) and (ii) one minus the quotient of (x) the price per share of Class A common stock paid in such rights offering divided by (y) the fair market value. For these purposes (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Class A common stock, in determining the price payable for Class A common stock, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) fair market value means the volume weighted average price of Class A common stock as reported during the ten trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the shares of Class A common stock trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.

In addition, if we, at any time while the warrants are outstanding and unexpired, pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of Class A common stock on account of such shares of Class A common stock (or other shares of our capital stock into which the warrants are convertible), other than (a) as described above, (b) certain ordinary cash dividends, (c) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of Class A common stock in connection with a proposed initial business combination, (d) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of Class A common stock in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the current charter (i) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our Class A common stock if we do not complete our initial business combination by September 30, 2020 or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, or (e) in connection with the redemption of our public shares upon our failure to complete our initial business combination, then the warrant exercise price will be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such event, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of any securities or other assets paid on each share of Class A common stock in respect of such event.

If the number of outstanding shares of our Class A common stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of shares of Class A common stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Class A common stock.

Whenever the number of shares of Class A common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants is adjusted, as described above, the warrant exercise price will be adjusted by multiplying the warrant exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which will be the number of shares of Class A common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which will be the number of shares of Class A common stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.

In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock (other than those described above or that solely affects the par value of such shares of Class A common stock), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of us with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which we are the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of us as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which we are dissolved, the holders of the warrants will thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the warrants and in lieu of the shares of our Class A common stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the warrants would have received if such holder had exercised their warrants immediately prior to such event. If less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of Class A common stock in such a transaction is payable in the form of Class A common stock in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event, and if the registered holder of the warrant properly exercises the warrant within thirty days following public disclosure of such transaction, the warrant exercise price will be reduced as specified in the Warrant Agreement based on the Black-Scholes value (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) of the warrant. The purpose of such exercise price reduction is to provide additional value to holders of the warrants when an extraordinary transaction occurs during the exercise period of the warrants pursuant to which the holders of the warrants otherwise do not receive the full potential value of the warrants in order to determine and realize the option value component of the warrant. This formula is to compensate the warrant holder for the loss of the option value portion of the warrant due to the requirement that the warrant holder exercise the warrant within 30 days of the event. The Black-Scholes model is an accepted pricing model for estimating fair market value where no quoted market price for an instrument is available.

The warrants have been issued in registered form under the Warrant Agreement. You should review a copy of the Warrant Agreement, which was filed as an exhibit to our registration statement on Form S-1, available at https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1741231/000121390018009976/ fs12018s1a_forummerger2.htm, for a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the warrants. The Warrant Agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least 65% of the then outstanding public warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of public warrants.

203

The warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price (or on a cashless basis, if applicable), by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of warrants being exercised. The warrantholders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of Class A common stock and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of Class A common stock. After the issuance of shares of Class A common stock upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. If, upon exercise of the warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number of shares of Class A common stock to be issued to the warrantholder.

Private Placement Warrants

The private placement warrants (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants) are not transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination (except, among other limited exceptions, to our officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with the Sponsor or the IPO underwriters) and they will not be redeemable by us so long as they are held by the Sponsors, the IPO underwriters or their permitted transferees. The Sponsors, the IPO underwriters and their permitted transferees, have the option to exercise the private placement warrants on a cashless basis. Except as described below, the private placement warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the public warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. If the private placement warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor, the IPO underwriters or their permitted transferees, the private placement warrants will be redeemable by us and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the public warrants.

In addition, for as long as the private placement warrants are held by the IPO underwriters or their designees or affiliates, they may not be exercised after five years from the effective date of the registration statement on Form S-1.

If holders of the private placement warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (as defined in the next sentence) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” means the average reported last sale price of the Class A common stock for the ten trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of warrant exercise is sent to the warrant agent. The reason that we have agreed that these warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor, the IPO underwriters or their permitted transferees is because it is not known at this time whether they will be affiliated with us following an initial business combination. If they remain affiliated with us, their ability to sell our securities in the open market will be significantly limited. We expect to have policies in place that prohibit insiders from selling our securities except during specific periods of time. Even during such periods of time when insiders will be permitted to sell our securities, an insider cannot trade in our securities if he or she is in possession of material non-public information. Accordingly, unlike public stockholders who could sell the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants freely in the open market, the insiders could be significantly restricted from doing so. As a result, we believe that allowing the holders to exercise such warrants on a cashless basis is appropriate.

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. Up to $1,200,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be converted into private placement-equivalent units at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. Such units would be identical to the private placement units, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period of the underlying warrants. The terms of the working capital loans by the Sponsor or its affiliates, or our officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to any such Working Capital Loans.

In addition, holders of our private placement warrants are entitled to certain registration rights and any private placement warrants held by the IPO underwriters are not exercisable more than five years from the effective date of the registration statement on Form S-1.

204

The Sponsor and the IPO underwriters have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the private placement units (including the underlying securities and the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of any of the private placement warrants) until the date that is 30 days after the date we complete our initial business combination, except that, among other limited exceptions made to our officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with the Sponsor.

Dividends

We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock to date and do not intend to pay cash dividends prior to the completion of a business combination. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition subsequent to completion of a business combination. The payment of any cash dividends subsequent to a business combination will be within the discretion of our Board at that time. Our Board is not currently contemplating and does not anticipate declaring any stock dividends in the foreseeable future. Further, if we incur any indebtedness, our ability to declare dividends may be limited by restrictive covenants we may agree to in connection therewith.

Transfer Agent and Warrant Agent

The transfer agent for our common stock and warrant agent for our warrants is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. We have agreed to indemnify Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company in its roles as transfer agent and warrant agent, its agents and each of its stockholders, directors, officers and employees against all claims and losses that may arise out of acts performed or omitted for its activities in that capacity, except for any liability due to any gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the indemnified person or entity.

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law and the Post-Combination Company’s Proposed Charter and Proposed Bylaws

We are currently subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL, which we refer to as “Section 203,” regulating corporate takeovers. This statute prevents certain Delaware corporations, under certain circumstances, from engaging in a “business combination” with:

•        a stockholder who owns 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock (otherwise known as an “interested stockholder”);

•        an affiliate of an interested stockholder; or

•        an associate of an interested stockholder, for three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder.

A “business combination” includes a merger or sale of more than 10% of our assets. However, the above provisions of Section 203 do not apply if:

•        our Board approves the transaction that made the stockholder an “interested stockholder,” prior to the date of the transaction;

•        after the completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, that stockholder owned at least 85% of our voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, other than statutorily excluded shares of common stock; or

•        on or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by our Board and authorized at a meeting of our stockholders, and not by written consent, by an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder.

The proposed charter opts out of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

The proposed charter contains certain limitations on convening special stockholder meetings. In addition, the current charter does not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors. Our Board is empowered to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the Board or the resignation, death, or removal of a director in certain circumstances; and our advance notice provisions require that stockholders must comply with certain procedures in order to nominate candidates to our Board or to propose matters to be acted upon at a stockholders’ meeting.

205

Our authorized but unissued common stock and preferred stock are available for future issuances without stockholder approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved common stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

Forum Selection Clause

The proposed charter provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder (including a beneficial owner) to bring: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the post-combination company; (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty owed by any of the post-combination company’s directors, officers or other employees of the post-combination company to the post-combination company or its stockholders; (iii) any action asserting a claim against the post-combination company, its directors, officers or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the proposed charter or proposed bylaws; or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the post-combination company, its directors, officers or employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine, except for, as to each of (i) through (iv) above, any claim (A) as to which the Court of Chancery determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten days following such determination), (B) which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery, or (C) for which the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction. Unless the post-combination company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the forum selection clause will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the sole and exclusive forum.

Rule 144

Pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act, as may be amended from time to time (“Rule 144”), a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock or warrants for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities provided, that, (i) such person is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and (ii) we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale and have filed all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the 12 months (or such shorter period as we were required to file reports) preceding the sale.

Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock or warrants for at least six months but who are our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of:

•        1% of the total number of shares of Class A common stock then outstanding, or 206,504 shares prior to as of the date of this proxy statement; or

•        the average weekly reported trading volume of the common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.

Sales by our affiliates under Rule 144 are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.

206

Restrictions on the Use of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies

Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company. However, Rule 144 also includes an important exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met:

•        the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;

•        the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

•        the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and materials required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Current Reports on Form 8-K; and

•        at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

As of the date of this proxy statement, we had 25,650,411 shares of common stock outstanding. Of these shares, 19,995,411 shares sold in our IPO are freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, except for any shares purchased by one of our affiliates within the meaning of Rule 144. All of the 5,000,000 founder shares plus 655,000 shares of Class A common stock that are a part of the private placement units acquired by the Sponsor and the IPO underwriters in the private placement concurrent with the IPO are restricted securities under Rule 144, in that they were issued in private transactions not involving a public offering. If the business combination is approved, the shares of our common stock we issue to the Ittella Parent securityholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement will be restricted securities for purposes of Rule 144.

As of the date of this proxy statement, there are 20,655,000 warrants of the Company outstanding, consisting of 20,000,000 public warrants originally sold as part of the units issued in the Company’s IPO and 655,000 private placement warrants that are a part of the private placement units that acquired by the Sponsor and the IPO underwriters in a private placement concurrent with the IPO. Each warrant is exercisable for one share of Class A common stock, in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement governing the warrants. The public warrants are freely tradable. In addition, we will be obligated to file no later than 15 business days after the Closing a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the 20,000,000 shares of Class A common stock that may be issued upon the exercise of the public warrants, and cause the registration statement to become effective and maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement until the expiration of the warrants.

Registration Rights

At the Closing, the Company will enter into the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, substantially in the form attached as Annex F to this proxy statement, with the Sponsor and the Ittella Parent securityholders and their permitted transferees, which provides certain registration rights to the Sponsor and the Ittella Parent securityholders and pursuant to which the Company will, not later than 120 days after the Closing, file a registration statement covering the founder shares, the private placement warrants (including any common stock issued or issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants) and the Company’s shares issued to the Ittella Parent securityholders at the Closing. Subject to certain exceptions, the Company will bear all Registration Expenses (as defined in the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement).

Listing of Securities

We have applied to continue the listing of our common stock and warrants on Nasdaq under the symbols “TTCF” and “TTCFW,” respectively, upon the Closing. Our units will automatically separate into the component securities upon consummation of the business combination and, as a result, will no longer trade as a separate security.

207

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES

The following table sets forth information regarding (i) the actual beneficial ownership of the common stock at [June 30], 2020 (pre-business combination) and (ii) expected beneficial ownership of the common stock immediately following the Closing, assuming that no public shares are redeemed, and alternatively that 11,789,271 public shares are redeemed, by:

•        each person known by us who is, or is expected to be after the business combination, the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our issued and outstanding common stock;

•        each of our current executive officers and directors;

•        each person who will become an executive officer and director of the post-combination company; and

•        all executive officers and directors of the Company as a group pre-business combination and all executive officers and directors of the post-combination company

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person or entity and the percentage ownership of that person or entity in the table below, all shares subject to options and restricted stock units held by such person or entity were deemed outstanding if such securities are currently exercisable, or exercisable or would vest based on service-based vesting conditions within 60 days of [June 30], 2020, assuming that the liquidity-event vesting conditions had been satisfied as of such date. These shares were not deemed outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person or entity.

The beneficial ownership of our common stock pre-business combination is based on 25,650,411 shares of common stock (of which 20,650,411 are shares of Class A common stock and 5,000,000 are founder shares held by the Sponsor, 2,500,000 of which are Sponsor Earnout Shares) issued and outstanding as of [June 30], 2020 (pre-business combination). There are currently no shares of Company preferred stock issued and outstanding. In addition, we issued 20,000,000 public warrants to purchase Class A common stock (originally sold as part of the units issued in our IPO) as part of our IPO along with 655,000 private placement units, of which 555,000 private placement units were issued to the Sponsor and 100,000 private placement units were issued to the IPO underwriters, in a private placement concurrently with our IPO.

The expected beneficial ownership of shares of our common stock post-business combination, assuming none of our public shares are redeemed, has been determined based upon the following: (i) that none of our public stockholders have exercised their redemption rights to receive cash from the trust account in exchange for their shares of Class A common stock and we have not issued any additional shares of our Class A common stock; (ii) that 34,500,000 shares of common stock are issued to the Ittella Parent securityholders; (iii) that no warrants have been exercised by any warrantholder; (iv) there are no Sponsor Earnout Shares or Holdback Shares issued and outstanding; and (v) there will be an aggregate of 57,650,411 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding at the Closing (which excludes Sponsor Earnout Shares and Holdback Shares).

The expected beneficial ownership of shares of our common stock post-business combination assuming the maximum number of public shares have been redeemed has been determined based on the following: (i) that holders of 11,789,271 public shares have exercised their redemption rights (maximum redemption scenario); (ii) that 37,000,000 shares of common stock are issued to the Ittella Parent securityholders; (iii) that no warrants have been exercised by any warrantholder; (iv) there are no Sponsor Earnout Shares or Holdback Shares issued and outstanding; and (v) there will be an aggregate of 48,361,411 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding at the Closing (which excludes Sponsor Earnout Shares and Holdback Shares).

208

Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock beneficially owned by them.

(1)      The business address of each of these entities or individuals is c/o Forum Merger II Corporation, 1615 South Congress Avenue, Suite 103, Delray Beach, FL 33445.

(2)      Interests shown consist of sponsor shares, classified as shares of Class B common stock, and 555,000 shares of Class A common stock underlying private placement units. The founder shares are convertible into shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment.

(3)      Represents shares held by the Sponsor. Each of our officers and directors, and one or more trusts or other entities for the benefit of David Boris, Marshall Kiev and their respective families, is a member of the Sponsor. Forum Capital Management II LLC is the managing member of the Sponsor and has voting and investment discretion with respect to the common stock held by the Sponsor. Marshall Kiev and David Boris are the managing members of Forum Capital Management II LLC and may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the common stock held directly by the Sponsor.

209

Each such person disclaims any beneficial ownership of the reported shares other than to the extent of any pecuniary interest they may have therein, directly or indirectly. Pre-business combination amounts consist entirely of founder shares, which will convert into shares of Class A common stock upon Closing, and 555,000 private placement shares that were purchased by the Sponsor as part of the private placement units in the IPO. Post-business combination amounts excludes 2,500,000 Sponsor Earnout Shares which will be placed in escrow at the Closing and are excluded from the post-combination total issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

The Company’s Related Party Transactions

On May 22, 2018, we issued an aggregate of 5,750,000 founder shares to the Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 in cash, or approximately $0.004 per share. The number of founder shares issued was determined based on the expectation that such founder shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares upon completion of the IPO (not including the shares of Class A common stock underlying the private placement units). The founder shares (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise thereof) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holder.

The Sponsor and the IPO underwriters agreed to purchase an aggregate of 655,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit, consisting of 555,000 units by the Sponsor and 100,000 units by the IPO underwriters for an aggregate purchase price of $6,550,000. The private placement units are identical to the units sold in the IPO except that the private placement warrants, so long as they are held by the Sponsor, the IPO underwriters or their permitted transferees, (i) will not be redeemable by us, (ii) may not (including Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of these warrants), subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination, (iii) may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis, (iv) will be entitled to registration rights and (v) for so long as they are held by the underwriters, will not be exercisable more than five years from the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(G)(i). The private placement units (including the private placement shares, the private placement warrants and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise thereof) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holder.

As more fully discussed in “Information about the Company — Conflicts of Interest,” if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of an initial business combination opportunity that falls within the line of business of any entity to which he or she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she will honor his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such business combination opportunity to such other entity. Our officers and directors currently have certain relevant fiduciary duties or contractual obligations that may take priority over their duties to us.

We have agreed to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $15,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of our initial business combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees.

Other than the foregoing, no compensation of any kind, including any finder’s fee, reimbursement, consulting fee or monies in respect of any payment of a loan, will be paid by us to the Sponsor, officers and directors, or any affiliate of the Sponsor or officers, prior to, or in connection with any services rendered in order to effectuate, the consummation of an initial business combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is). However, these individuals will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to the Sponsor, officers, directors or our or their affiliates and will determine which expenses and the amount of expenses that will be reimbursed. There is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such persons in connection with activities on our behalf.

The Sponsor agreed to loan us up to $300,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the IPO. These loans were non-interest bearing, unsecured and were due at the earlier of December 31, 2018 or the closing of the IPO. The loan was repaid upon the closing of the IPO out of the estimated $750,000 of offering proceeds that were allocated to the payment of offering expenses (other than underwriting commissions). The value of the Sponsor’s interest in the IPO corresponds to the principal amount outstanding under any such loan.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete an initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the initial business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,200,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be converted into private placement-equivalent units at a price

211

of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. Such units would be identical to the private placement units, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period of the underlying warrants. The terms of the Working Capital Loans by our sponsor or its affiliates, or our officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to any such Working Capital Loans. We do not expect to seek loans from parties other than the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust account.

After our initial business combination, members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other fees from the combined company with any and all amounts being fully disclosed to our stockholders, to the extent then known, in the tender offer or proxy solicitation materials, as applicable, furnished to our stockholders. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of distribution of such tender offer materials or at the time of a stockholder meeting held to consider our initial business combination, as applicable, as it will be up to the directors of the post-combination business to determine executive and director compensation.

On February 10, 2020, we issued the Extension Note in the aggregate amount of $2,639,394 in order to fund the extension payments. The Extension Note is non-interest bearing and payable upon the consummation of a business combination. As of March 31, 2020, the outstanding balance under the Extension Note amounted to $1,199,725. In April 2020, we borrowed an additional $599,862 under the Extension Note. As of June 30, 2020, the outstanding balance under the Extension Note amounted to $1,799,587. The Extension Note will be repaid at Closing from cash released from the trust account. If the business combination is not consummated by September 30, 2020 or there is no extension of the date by which the Company has to consummate an initial business combination, the Extension Note will be forgiven and the Sponsor will not be repaid.

At the Closing, the Company will enter into the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement amending and restating the registration rights agreement signed in connection with the IPO, substantially in the form attached as Annex F to this proxy statement, with the Sponsor and the Investors, which, among other things, amends and restates the registration rights agreement entered into by and among the Company, the Company’s initial directors and officers, the Sponsor, Jefferies and EarlyBirdCapital at the time of the Company’s IPO. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, among other things, the Company will be obligated to file, not later than 120 days after the Closing, a registration statement covering the shares of common stock issued or issuable to the Investors. Subject to certain exceptions, the Company will bear all Registration Expenses (as defined in the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement). For more information about the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, please see the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal.”

Related Party Policy

Prior to the consummation of our IPO, we adopted a code of ethics requiring us to avoid, wherever possible, all conflicts of interests, except under guidelines or resolutions approved by our Board (or the appropriate committee of our Board) or as disclosed in our public filings with the SEC. Under our code of ethics, conflict of interest situations include any financial transaction, arrangement or relationship (including any indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness) involving the Company.

In addition, our audit committee, pursuant to a written charter that we adopted prior to the consummation of our IPO, is responsible for reviewing and approving related party transactions to the extent that we enter into such transactions. An affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the audit committee present at a meeting at which a quorum is present is required in order to approve a related party transaction. A majority of the members of the entire audit committee constitutes a quorum. Without a meeting, the unanimous written consent of all of the members of the audit committee is required to approve a related party transaction. We also require each of our directors and executive officers to complete a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire that elicits information about related party transactions.

These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee or officer.

The post-combination company will have policies and procedures designed to minimize potential conflicts of interest arising from any dealings it may have with its affiliates and to provide appropriate procedures for the disclosure of any real or potential conflicts of interest that may exist from time to time. Specifically, pursuant to the proposed charter, the audit committee will have the responsibility to review related party transactions.

Ittella Parent Related Party Transactions

Certain Share Transfers

Ittella Parent and certain transferees are parties to share transfer and assignment agreements pursuant to which Ittella LLC will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ittella Parent prior to Closing:

•        Prior to the Closing, (i) UMB will contribute its ownership interests of Ittella LLC to Ittella Parent in exchange for stock of Ittella Parent and (ii) Pizzo will contribute its ownership interests in Ittella Italy to Ittella’s Chef in exchange for ownership interests in Ittella Parent.

•        Prior to the Closing, Salvatore Galletti will contribute 2% of his shares of Ittella Parent to Project Lily, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Project Lily”). Salvatore Galletti is the sole member of Project Lily. Salvatore Galletti will then make a gift of the membership interests in Project Lily to his daughter, Sarah Galletti, and his son, Abel Galletti. It is expected that Sarah and Abel Galletti, after giving effect to these gifts, will each own approximately 25% of Project Lily; however, neither Sarah Galletti nor Abel Galletti will have voting or investment power with respect to shares held by Project Lily.

Employment Agreements

Ittella Parent does not currently maintain any written employment compensation agreements with its executive officers. Notwithstanding that there are no written employment agreements, Ittella Parent currently has an understanding with the following individuals pursuant to which they are paid the salaries reflected below:

•        Sam Galletti — Ittella Parent pays Mr. Galletti $236,340 per year, as Chief Executive Officer and President

•        Sarah Galletti — Ittella Parent pays Ms. Galletti $70,000 per year, as Creative Director.

•        Stephanie Dieckmann — Ittella Parent pays Ms. Dieckmann $150,000 per year, as Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

The Company has entered into employment agreements with Sam Galletti, Sarah Galletti, Stephanie Dieckmann, and Giuseppe Bardari that are effective as of the Closing. See “Management After the Business Combination.”

Indebtedness

In January 2009, Ittella Parent entered into a promissory note with Salvatore Galletti as the lender in the amount of $50,000 which matures on December 31, 2020. This note bears interest at 4.75% over the prime rate. This note was repaid on June 2, 2020.

Ittella Parent entered into a credit agreement with Mr. Galletti as the lender for a $1.2 million revolving line of credit. Monthly interest payments are accrued at 4.75% above the prime rate on any outstanding balance. In addition, Ittella Parent agreed to pay Mr. Galletti 0.67% per month of the full amount of the revolving credit line, regardless of whether Ittella Parent has borrowed against this line of credit. This agreement originally expired on December 31, 2011 but has been extended to expire on December 31, 2024. The outstanding balance of the line of credit is $0.4 million as at December 31, 2019. This loan was repaid on June 22, 2020.

Ittella Parent entered into a promissory note with Mr. Galletti as the lender in the amount of $150,000 which bears interest at 8.0% per annum. This note was repaid on June 22, 2020.

In May 2018, Ittella Italy entered into a promissory note with Pizzo in the amount of 48,000 Euro. The note bears interest at 8.0% per annum and has a maturity date of January 31, 2021. The balance of the note is $99,337 at December 31, 2019.

213

Leases

A wholly-owned subsidiary of Ittella Parent, Ittella Inc., leases two buildings from two separate entities which are both under the common ownership of Salvatore Galletti. Ittella Properties was formed to own and manage the properties leased in these arrangements. Ittella Properties is a VIE and Ittella Parent consolidates this entity’s accounts in its consolidated financial statements as of Fiscal 2019 and Fiscal 2018.

Indemnification Agreements and Directors and Officers Liability Insurance

Ittella Parent’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws limit the personal liability of its directors to its stockholders or Ittella Parent for monetary damages in any proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of Ittella Parent to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. In addition, Ittella LLC maintains directors’ and officers’ liability insurance to provide its directors and officers with insurance coverage for losses arising from claims based on breaches of duty, negligence, errors and other wrongful acts. Ittella Parent has not entered into any indemnification agreements with its officers and directors.

Policies and Procedures for Related Person Transactions Prior to Business Combination

The Delaware General Corporation Law and Ittella Parent’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain customary provisions relating to the approval of related party transactions. Ittella Parent has no additional policies or procedures prior to the business combination with respect to related party transactions.

Policies and Procedures for Related Person Transactions

Effective upon the consummation of the business combination, our Board will adopt a written related person transaction policy that will set forth the policies and procedures for the review and approval or ratification of related person transactions. The Company’s policy will require that a “related person” (as defined in paragraph (a) of Item 404 of Regulation S-K) must promptly disclose to the Company’s general counsel any “related person transaction” (defined as any transaction that is reportable by the Company under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K in which the Company is or will be a participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and in which any related person has or will have a direct or indirect material interest) and all material facts with respect thereto. The general counsel will promptly communicate such information to the Company’s audit committee or another independent body of our Board. No related person transaction will be entered into without the approval or ratification of our audit committee or another independent body of our Board. It is the Company’s policy that directors interested in a related person transaction will recuse themselves from any such vote. The Company’s policy does not specify the standards to be applied by its audit committee or another independent body of its board of directors in determining whether or not to approve or ratify a related person transaction, although such determinations will be made in accordance with Delaware law.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2020
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Forum Merger II Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on May 4, 2018. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).

The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

Sprout Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”).

All activity through June 30, 2020 relates to the Company’s formation, its initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, identifying a target company for a Business Combination and the proposed transaction with Merger Sub, Myjojo, Inc. (“Ittella Parent”) and Salvatore Galletti, in his capacity as the holder representative (the “Holder Representative”) (see Note 6).

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on August 2, 2018. On August 7, 2018, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 units (“Units” and, with respect to the shares of Class A common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), generating total gross proceeds of $200,000,000, which is described in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of an aggregate of 655,000 units (the “Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per unit in a private placement to Forum Investors II LLC (the “Sponsor”) and the underwriters, generating total gross proceeds of $6,550,000, which is described in Note 4.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on August 7, 2018, an amount of $200,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 180 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, not to be withdrawn until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below.

Transaction costs related to the issuances described above amounted to $11,532,114, consisting of $4,000,000 of underwriting fees, $7,000,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $532,114 of other costs. In addition, at June 30, 2020, there was $86,134 of cash held outside of the Trust Account and available for working capital purposes.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. The Company must complete an initial Business Combination having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting fees and taxes payable on interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into an initial Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (cont.)

The Company will provide its holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “public stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The public stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account ($10.13 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its franchise and income tax obligations). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants. The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined below in Note 5), Private Placement Shares (as defined in Note 4) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction.

If the Company seeks stockholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Sponsor has agreed (a) to waive its redemption rights with respect to its Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and Public Shares held by it in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (i) that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity, unless the Company provides the public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

The Company initially had until February 7, 2020 to consummate a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). On February 7, 2020, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) to extend the period of time for which the Company is required to consummate a Business Combination to June 10, 2020 (the “Extended Date”). The number of shares of common stock presented for redemption in connection with the extension was 4,589. The Company paid cash in the aggregate amount of $47,175, or approximately $10.28 per share, to redeeming stockholders. The Company agreed to deposit $0.033 for each Public Share outstanding that was not redeemed for each of the four consecutive monthly periods of the extension, assuming the Company takes the full time through the Extended Date to complete a Business Combination. Through June 30, 2020, the Company deposited an aggregate of $2,639,395 into the Trust Account, of

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (cont.)

which $839,808 was funded by the Company and $1,799,587 was funded by the Sponsor. The Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor in the aggregate amount of $2,639,395 in order to fund a portion of the extension payments.

On June 8, 2020, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended Charter”) to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses to September 30, 2020 (the “Second Extended Date”). There were no shares of common stock presented for redemption in connection with the extension.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by the Second Extended Date, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination by the Second Extended Date.

The Sponsor and the underwriter have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor acquires Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting fees (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than $10.13 per share.

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.00 per share or (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed consolidated or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 as filed with the SEC on March 11, 2020, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto. The financial information as of December 31, 2019 is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020 or for any future interim periods.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

At June 30, 2020, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds, which primarily invest in U.S. Treasury Bills. At December 31, 2019, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in U.S. Treasury Bills. Through June 30, 2020, the Company withdrew an aggregate of $1,997,054 of interest income from the Trust Account to pay for its franchise and income taxes, of which $1,255,252 was withdrawn during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 25% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 due to the non-deductibility of transactional expenses incurred in connection with the search for potential targets for a Business Combination. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 25% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 due to true-up adjustments from the prior year tax returns.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security “CARES” Act into law. The CARES Act includes several significant business tax provisions that, among other things, would eliminate the taxable income limit for certain net operating losses (“NOL) and allow businesses to carry back NOLs arising in 2018, 2019 and 2020 to the five prior years, suspend the excess business loss rules, accelerate refunds of previously generated corporate alternative minimum tax credits, generally loosen the business interest limitation under IRC section 163(j) from 30 percent to 50 percent among other technical corrections included in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act tax provisions. The Company does not believe that the CARES Act will have a significant impact on Company’s financial position or statement of operations.

Net Loss per Common Share

Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The Company applies the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Shares of common stock subject to possible redemption at June 30, 2020 and 2019, which are not currently redeemable and are not redeemable at fair value, have been excluded from the calculation of basic loss per share since such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of the Trust Account earnings. The Company has not considered the effect of warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and private placement to purchase 20,655,000 shares of Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As a result, diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share for the periods presented.

Reconciliation of Net Loss per Common Share

The Company’s net (loss) income is adjusted for the portion of income that is attributable to common stock subject to possible redemption, as these shares only participate in the earnings of the Trust Account and not the income or losses of the Company. Accordingly, basic and diluted loss per common share is calculated as follows:

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution which, at times may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 20,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7).

NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor and the underwriters purchased an aggregate of 655,000 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $6,550,000, of which 555,000 Private Placement Units were purchased by the Sponsor and 100,000 Private Placement Units were purchased by the underwriters. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock (“Private Placement Share”) and one warrant (each, a “Private Placement Warrant”). Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50. The proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the Private Placement Units, Private Placement Shares and the Private Placement Warrants will be worthless.

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On May 16, 2018, the Sponsor purchased 5,750,000 shares (the “Founder Shares”) of the Company’s Class B common stock for an aggregate price of $25,000. The Founder Shares will automatically convert into Class A common stock upon the consummation of a Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustments, as described in Note 7.

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (cont.)

The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 750,000 shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment was not exercised in full or in part, so that the Sponsor would own, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering (assuming the Sponsor did not purchase any Public Shares in the Initial Public Offering and excluding the Private Placement Shares). On September 21, 2018, the underwriters’ over-allotment option expired unexercised, and, as a result 750,000 Founder Shares were forfeited resulting in an aggregate of 5,000,000 Founder Shares outstanding.

The Sponsor has agreed, subject to certain limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination or (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after a Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Administrative Services Agreement

The Company entered into an agreement with an affiliate of the Sponsor whereby, commencing on August 7, 2018 through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and its liquidation, the Company agreed to pay the affiliate $15,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company incurred $45,000 in fees for these services. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company incurred $90,000 in fees for these services. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, fees amounting to $45,000 and $0 are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively.

Related Party Loans

On May 16, 2018, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor (the “Promissory Note”), pursuant to which the Company could borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000. The Promissory Note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of December 31, 2018 or the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The Promissory Note was repaid upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering on August 7, 2018.

On February 10, 2020, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor (the “Extension Note”) in the aggregate amount of $2,639,394 in order to fund the extension payments. The Extension Note is non-interest bearing and payable upon the consummation of a Business Combination. As of June 30, 2020, the outstanding balance under the Extension Note amounted to $1,799,587.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,200,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into units of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Units.

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS

Registration Rights

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on August 7, 2018, the holders of the Founder Shares (and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of the Founder Shares), Private Placement Units, Private Placement Shares, Private Placement Warrants (and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants), and securities that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans are entitled to registration rights requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to Class A common stock). The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting fee of $4,000,000. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred underwriting fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $7,000,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will be forfeited by the underwriters solely in the event that the Company fails to complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Merger Agreement

On June 11, 2020, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Merger Sub, Ittella Parent and Salvatore Galletti, in his capacity as the holder representative.

Pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the terms of the Merger Agreement, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into Ittella Parent (the “Merger”), with Ittella Parent surviving the merger in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the related ancillary agreements, the “Combination”).

The aggregate consideration payable at the closing of the Combination (the “Closing”) to the Ittella Parent stockholders is approximately $420 million, subject to the purchase price adjustments as set forth in the Merger Agreement (the “Closing Merger Consideration”). The Closing is expected to take place in early October, as soon as practicable after the special meeting, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions in the Merger Agreement. The Closing Merger Consideration is required to be comprised of between $50,000,000 and $75,000,000 in cash, with the remainder of the Closing Merger Consideration comprised of the Company’s common stock, valued at $10.00 per share.

An additional 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Holdback Shares”) are payable after the Closing to the Ittella Parent stockholders upon satisfaction, within the first three years after the Closing, of the following conditions: (i) the trading price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 on any 20 trading days in any 30-day trading period (the “$12.00 Share Price Trigger”), then 2,500,000 Holdback Shares will be released to the Ittella Parent stockholders or (ii) the trading price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $14.00 on any 20 trading days in any 30-day trading period (each of such $14.00 trigger and the $12.00 Share Price Trigger, a “Share Price Trigger”), then 2,500,000 Holdback Shares will be released to the Ittella Parent stockholders. If a change in control occurs within the first three years after the Closing, all Holdback Shares not previously released will be released to the Ittella Parent stockholders. If the conditions to release of the Holdback Shares are not satisfied within the first three years of Closing, the Holdback Shares are forfeited.

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS (cont.)

The Sponsor has agreed that at the Closing, it will place 2,500,000 Founder Shares held by it (the “Sponsor Earnout Shares”) into escrow. The vesting, release and forfeiture terms of the Sponsor Earnout Shares are the same as the vesting, release and forfeiture terms applicable to the Holdback Shares, with 50% of the Sponsor Earnout Shares vesting at each Share Price Trigger, and all Sponsor Earnout Shares released if a change of control occurs, in each case, within the first three years after the Closing. If the conditions to the release of any Sponsor Earnout Shares are not satisfied on or prior to the date that it is finally determined that Ittella Parent stockholders are not entitled to or eligible to receive any further Holdback Releases as defined in, and pursuant to, the Merger Agreement, the Sponsor Earnout Shares will be forfeited by the Sponsor on that date.

The Company and the Holder Representative have agreed that, at the Closing, the Company will place 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock into an adjustment escrow account. Following the date on which the Closing Merger Consideration is finally determined, all or a portion of those shares of common stock will either be released to the Ittella Parent stockholders or released to the Company in accordance with the adjustment mechanisms set forth in Section 3.5 of the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the parties thereto and the Closing is subject to certain conditions as further described in the Merger Agreement.

NOTE 7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preferred Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Class A Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were 2,089,591 and 1,741,979 shares of Class A common stock issued or outstanding, excluding 18,560,820 and 18,913,021 shares of common stock subject to possible redemption, respectively.

Class B Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class B common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were 5,000,000 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding.

Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all other matters submitted to a vote of stockholders except as required by law.

The shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of a Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of a Business Combination, the ratio at which shares of Class B common stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B common stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering (not including the shares of Class A common stock underlying the Private Placement Units) plus all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination, any private placement-equivalent securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination, any private placement equivalent securities issued to the Sponsor

or its affiliates upon conversion of loans made to the Company). Holders of Founder Shares may also elect to convert their shares of Class B common stock into an equal number of shares of Class A common stock, subject to adjustment as provided above, at any time.

Warrants — The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering; provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available. The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of a Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A common stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, the Company will use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the Public Warrants:

•        in whole and not in part;

•        at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

•        upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and

•        if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

•        If, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of Class A common stock underlying such warrants.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of Class A common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

NOTE 7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (cont.)

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

 

Level 1:

 

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2:

 

Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3:

 

Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of
Forum Merger II Corporation

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Forum Merger II Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2019 and for the period from May 4, 2018 (inception) through December 31, 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2019 and for the period from May 4, 2018 (inception) through December 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

FORUM MERGER II CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2019

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Forum Merger II Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on May 4, 2018. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).

The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

All activity through December 31, 2019 relates to the Company’s formation, its initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and identifying a target company for a Business Combination.

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on August 2, 2018. On August 7, 2018, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 units (“Units” and, with respect to the shares of Class A common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), generating total gross proceeds of $200,000,000, which is described in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of an aggregate of 655,000 units (the “Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per unit in a private placement to Forum Investors II LLC (the “Sponsor”) and the underwriters, generating total gross proceeds of $6,550,000, which is described in Note 4.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on August 7, 2018, an amount of $200,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 180 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, not to be withdrawn until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below.

Transaction costs related to the issuances described above amounted to $11,532,114, consisting of $4,000,000 of underwriting fees, $7,000,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $532,114 of other costs. In addition, at December 31, 2019, $1,287,406 of cash was held outside of the Trust Account and is available for working capital purposes.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. The Company must complete an initial Business Combination having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting fees and taxes payable on interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into an initial Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

The Company will provide its holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “public stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The public stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account ($10.00 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its franchise and income tax obligations). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (cont.)

Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants. The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined below in Note 5), Private Placement Shares (as defined in Note 4) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction.

If the Company seeks stockholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Sponsor has agreed (a) to waive its redemption rights with respect to its Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and Public Shares held by it in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (i) that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity, unless the Company provides the public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

The Company initially had until February 7, 2020 to consummate a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

On February 7, 2020, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) to extend the period of time for which the Company is required to consummate a Business Combination to June 10, 2020 (the “Extended Date”). The number of shares of common stock presented for redemption in connection with the extension was 4,589. The Company paid cash in the aggregate amount of $47,175, or approximately $10.28 per share, to redeeming stockholders. The Company agreed to deposit $0.033

F-24

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (cont.)

for each Public Share outstanding that was not redeemed for each of the four consecutive monthly periods of the extension, assuming the Company takes the full time through the Extended Date to complete a Business Combination. In February and March 2020, the Company deposited $0.033 for each Public Share outstanding that was not converted, or an aggregate of $1,319,697 into the Trust Account. The Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor in the aggregate amount of $2,639,394 in order to fund the extension payments (see Note 10).

The Sponsor and the underwriter have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor acquires Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting fees (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than $10.00 per share.

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.00 per share or (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are

F-25

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

At December 31, 2019 and 2018, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in U.S. Treasury Bills. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company withdrew $741,802 of interest income from the Trust Account to pay for its franchise and income taxes. No amounts were withdrawn during the period from May 4, 2018 through December 31, 2018.

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in

F-26

FORUM MERGER II CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2019

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

Net Loss Per Common Share

Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The Company applies the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Shares of common stock subject to possible redemption at December 31, 2019 and 2018, which are not currently redeemable and are not redeemable at fair value, have been excluded from the calculation of basic loss per share since such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of the Trust Account earnings. The Company has not considered the effect of warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and private placement to purchase 20,655,000 shares of Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As a result, diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share for the periods presented.

Reconciliation of Net Loss per Common Share

The Company’s net income is adjusted for the portion of income that is attributable to common stock subject to possible redemption, as these shares only participate in the earnings of the Trust Account and not the income or losses of the Company. Accordingly, basic and diluted loss per common share is calculated as follows:

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution which, at times may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. The Company had not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 20,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7).

NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor and the underwriters purchased an aggregate of 655,000 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $6,550,000, of which 555,000 Private Placement Units were purchased by the Sponsor and 100,000 Private Placement Units were purchased by the underwriters. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock (“Private Placement Share”) and one warrant (each, a “Private Placement Warrant”). Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50. The proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the Private Placement Units, Private Placement Shares and the Private Placement Warrants will be worthless.

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On May 16, 2018, the Sponsor purchased 5,750,000 shares (the “Founder Shares”) of the Company’s Class B common stock for an aggregate price of $25,000. The Founder Shares will automatically convert into Class A common stock upon the consummation of a Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustments, as described in Note 7.

The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 750,000 shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment was not exercised in full or in part, so that the Sponsor would own, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering (assuming the Sponsor did not purchase any Public Shares in the Initial Public Offering and excluding the Private Placement Shares). On September 21, 2018, the underwriters’ over-allotment option expired unexercised, and, as a result 750,000 Founder Shares were forfeited resulting in an aggregate of 5,000,000 Founder Shares outstanding.

The Sponsor has agreed, subject to certain limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination or (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days

within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after a Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Administrative Services Agreement

The Company entered into an agreement with an affiliate of the Sponsor whereby, commencing on August 7, 2018 through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and its liquidation, the Company agreed to pay the affiliate $15,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company incurred and paid $180,000 in fees for these services. For the period from May 4, 2018 (inception) through December 31, 2018, the Company incurred and paid $75,000 in fees for these services.

Related Party Loans

On May 16, 2018, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor (the “Promissory Note”), pursuant to which the Company could borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000. The Promissory Note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of December 31, 2018 or the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The Promissory Note was repaid upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering on August 7, 2018.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. If a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of the Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to any such Working Capital Loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,200,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be converted into units of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Units.

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS

Registration Rights

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on August 7, 2018, the holders of the Founder Shares (and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of the Founder Shares), Private Placement Units, Private Placement Shares, Private Placement Warrants (and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants), and securities that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans are entitled to registration rights requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to Class A common stock). The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting fee of $4,000,000. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred underwriting fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $7,000,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will be forfeited by the underwriters solely in the event that the Company fails to complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

NOTE 7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preferred Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Common Stock

Class A Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were 1,741,979 and 1,675,160 shares of Class A common stock issued or outstanding, excluding 18,913,021 and 18,979,840 shares of common stock subject to possible redemption, respectively.

Class B Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class B common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were 5,000,000 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding.

Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all other matters submitted to a vote of stockholders except as required by law.

The shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of a Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of a Business Combination, the ratio at which shares of Class B common stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B common stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering (not including the shares of Class A common stock underlying the Private Placement Units) plus all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination, any private placement-equivalent securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination, any private placement equivalent securities issued to the Sponsor or its affiliates upon conversion of loans made to the Company). Holders of Founder Shares may also elect to convert their shares of Class B common stock into an equal number of shares of Class A common stock, subject to adjustment as provided above, at any time.

Warrants — The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering; provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available. The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of a Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Company will use

F-30

FORUM MERGER II CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2019

NOTE 7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (cont.)

its best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A common stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, the Company will use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the Public Warrants:

•        in whole and not in part;

•        at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

•        upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and

•        if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

•        If, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of Class A common stock underlying such warrants.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of Class A common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (cont.)

obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

 

Level 1:

 

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

   

Level 2:

 

Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

   

Level 3:

 

Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

NOTE 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluates subsequent events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements were issued. Other than as described below, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

On February 7, 2020, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to its Charter to extend the period of time for which the Company is required to consummate a Business Combination to June 10, 2020. The number of shares of common stock presented for redemption in connection with the extension was 4,589. The Company paid cash in the aggregate amount of $47,175, or approximately $10.28 per share, to redeeming stockholders. The Company agreed to deposit $0.033 for each Public Share outstanding that was not redeemed for each of the four consecutive monthly periods of the extension, assuming the Company takes the full time through the Extended Date to complete a Business Combination. In February and March 2020, the Company deposited $0.033 for each Public Share that was not converted in connection with the extension, or an aggregate of $1,319,697, into the Trust Account.

On February 10, 2020, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor in the aggregate amount of $2,639,394 in order to fund the extension payments. The note is non-interest bearing and payable upon the consummation of a Business Combination.

MYJOJO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations.    Myjojo, Inc. (“Myjojo”, “Company”, or “Ittella Parent”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of California on February 26, 2019 as an S-corporation to facilitate a corporate reorganization of Ittella International, Inc. which was formed as a pass-through entity. On March 27, 2019, the sole shareholder of Ittella International, Inc. contributed his 2,000 shares to Myjojo, becoming the sole stockholder. Ittella International, Inc. converted to a limited liability company, Ittella International, LLC (“Ittella International”) on April 10, 2019. On April 15, 2019 a financial institution acquired 12.5% noncontrolling membership interest in Ittella International (See Note 3).

Ittella’s Chef was incorporated under the laws of the state of California on July 20, 2017 as Qualified Subchapter S subsidiary and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ittella International. Ittella’s Chef was formed as a pass-through entity for purposes of holding Ittella International’s interest in Ittella Italy, S.R.L. (“Ittella Italy”), in which it holds a 70% ownership interest. On March 15, 2019, Ittella’s Chef was converted to a limited liability company, Ittella’s Chef, LLC (“Ittella’s Chef”).

On May 21, 2020, Myjojo, Inc. (Delaware) was formed. Myjojo, Inc. (Delaware) is authorized to issue 20,000 shares of common stock of $.001 par value. The sole stockholder of Myjojo, Inc. (Delaware) received 230 shares issued upon formation. On May 27, 2020, Myjojo Inc. (California) was merged into Myjojo Inc. (Delaware), and Myjojo, Inc. (Delaware) issued 8,000 shares of common stock to the sole stockholder of Myjojo, Inc. (California).

Myjojo, Inc. and its subsidiaries, Ittella International, Ittella’s Chef, and Ittella Italy, S.R.L. (collectively, the “Company”) are principally engaged in the manufacturing of plant-based meals and snacks including, but not limited to, acai and smoothie bowls, zucchini spirals, riced cauliflower, vegetable bowls and cauliflower crust pizza primarily in the United States and Italy.

Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards and as a result of this election, its consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates. The Company may take advantage of these exemptions up until the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of an offering or such earlier time that it is no longer an emerging growth company.

Basis of Presentation.    These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are unaudited. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2019. In management’s opinion, all necessary adjustments for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented have been made and are of a recurring nature. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or any other interim period.

Basis of Consolidation.    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling interest directly or indirectly, and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Noncontrolling interests in Ittella Italy represent the capital contributions and portion of the earnings that are not within the Company’s control and are required to be reported separately within stockholders’ equity.

F-38

MYJOJO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

The noncontrolling interest in Ittella International is presented outside of stockholders’ equity within mezzanine equity due to an embedded conversion put option which entitles the holder to put its common units back to Ittella International at a future date (see Note 3). Income attributable to noncontrolling interests is shown separately within the consolidated statement of operations.

Cash.    The Company’s cash may be in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company has not experienced any losses in these accounts.

Foreign Currency.    The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar for its U.S. entities. Ittella Italy’s functional currency is the Euro. Transactions in currency other than the functional currency are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of each entity are included in the results of operations in income from operations as incurred.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at period-end rates of exchange. Revenues, costs and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Equity adjustments resulting from translating foreign currency financial statements are accumulated as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

Accounts Receivable.    Trade receivables are customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment generally within 7 to 45 days from the invoice date. The Company’s allowance for doubtful receivables is based on an analysis that estimates the amount of its total customer receivable balance that is not collectible. This analysis includes assessing a default probability to customers’ receivable balances, which is influenced by several factors, including (i) current market conditions, (ii) periodic review of customer credit worthiness, and (iii) review of customer receivable aging and payment trends.

Inventory.    Inventory consists of raw materials and packaging materials, work in process and finished goods. Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a weighted average basis. Inventory is initially measured at cost and consists of the sum of the applicable expenditures and charges directly and indirectly incurred to bring products to their existing condition and location. These costs can include purchase costs and any other charges necessary to prepare the items for production. For work in process and finished goods, these costs normally include those incurred directly or indirectly in the production of inventory (i.e., direct labor and production overheads or conversion costs), and other expenses (i.e. inbound freight, transportation and handling charges, taxes and duties).

Overhead costs are allocated to the units produced within the reporting period, while abnormal costs are charged to current operations as incurred. The Company monitors the remaining utility of its inventory and writes down inventory for excess or obsolescence as appropriate.

Property, Plant and Equipment.    Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over a period considered adequate to amortize the total cost over the useful lives of the assets, which range from 5 to 7 years for machinery and equipment, 5 to 7 years for furniture and fixtures, and 3 to 5 years for computer equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvements. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Renewals and enhancements are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life of the specific property unit. When the Company retires or disposes of property, plant or equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the Company’s accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations.

Long-Lived Assets.    Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment at the asset group level whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets within an asset group to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If such asset groups are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is based upon their fair value. No impairment was recorded during the periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

F-39

MYJOJO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments.    Certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or transferred for a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivables, accounts payable and certain notes payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity and/or variable rates associated with these instruments. Long-term debt as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 approximates its fair value as the interest rates are indexed to market rates. The Company categorizes the inputs to the fair value measurements into three levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:

Level 1 —  Inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company is able to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 —  Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, and can reference interest rates, yield curves, implied volatilities and credit spreads.

Level 3 —  Inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

Revenue Recognition.    The Company’s principal business is the manufacturing of plant-based meals and snacks including, but not limited to, acai and smoothie bowls, zucchini spirals, riced cauliflower, vegetable bowls and cauliflower crust pizza primarily in the United States and Italy. Revenue recognition is completed on a point in time basis when product control is transferred to the customer. In general, control transfers to the customer when the product is shipped or delivered to the customer based upon applicable shipping terms. Customer contracts generally do include more than one performance obligation and the performance obligations in the Company’s contracts are satisfied within one year. No payment terms beyond one year are granted at contract inception.

The Company disaggregates revenue based on the type of products sold to their customers — private label, Tattooed Chef and other. The other revenue stream constitutes sale of similar food products directly to customers through a third-party vendor and the Company acts as a principal in these transactions.

Most contracts also include some form of variable consideration. The most common forms of variable consideration include discounts and demonstration costs. Variable consideration is treated as a reduction in revenue when product revenue is recognized. Depending on the specific type of variable consideration, the Company uses either the expected value or most likely amount method to determine the variable consideration. The Company reviews and updates its estimates and related accruals of variable consideration each period based on the terms of the agreements, historical experience, and any recent changes in the market.

The Company does not have significant unbilled receivable balances arising from transactions with customers. The Company does not capitalize contract inception costs, as contracts are one year or less and the Company does not incur significant fulfillment costs requiring capitalization. Deferred revenue was $0.82 million and $0.00 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

The Company recognizes shipping and handling costs as fulfillment cost and includes in cost of goods sold upon delivery of the product to the customer.

Sales and Marketing Expenses.    The Company expenses costs associated with sales and marketing as incurred. Sales and marketing expenses were $0.62 million and $0.13 million for the periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and are included in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Interest Expense.    Interest expense includes interest primarily related to the amortization of deferred financing costs, the Company’s notes payable and line of credit.

F-40

MYJOJO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Deferred Financing Costs.    Deferred financing costs include fees associated with the Company’s line of credit agreement. Such fees are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related line of credit agreement as a component of interest expense, which approximates the effective interest rate method, in accordance with the terms of the agreement. Deferred financing costs, net were $0.09 million and
$0.05 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and are recorded as a component of other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Amortization expense of deferred financing costs was $0.00 million during the periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Income Taxes.    Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company’s sole stockholder elected to be taxed as an S corporation for federal and state income tax purposes. Accordingly, the taxable income of the Company for federal and certain state tax purposes is attributed to, and reported by, its stockholder. The Company is subject to state franchise tax and entity-level income tax for California purposes. The Company accrues for tax distributions to be paid to the stockholder.

Ittella International was an S-Corp and became a limited liability company in April 2019 for U.S. federal income tax purposes, Ittella International is treated as a partnership. Accordingly, the taxable income of Ittella International for federal and state tax purposes is attributed to, and reported by, its members. Ittella International is subject to the centralized partnership audit regime enacted as part of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015.

Ittella Italy S.R.L. is subject to income tax applicable to its income derived from Italy.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss.    Accumulated other comprehensive loss is defined as the change in equity resulting from transactions from non-owner sources. Other comprehensive income consisted of gains and losses associated with changes in foreign currency as a result of the translation of the financial results of the Company’s Italian subsidiaries.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share.    Basic net income (loss) per share is computed as net income (loss) attributable to Myjojo, Inc. divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options (for which there are none in the periods presented).

For the periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, basic and diluted net income (loss) per share have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reorganization transactions of Myjojo, Inc. described in Note 1.

Use of Estimates.    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Concentrations of Credit Risk.    The Company grants credit, generally without collateral, to customers primarily in the United States. Consequently, the Company is subject to potential credit risk related to changes in business and economic factors in this geographical area. Management believes that the Company’s contract acceptance, billing and collection policies are adequate to limit potential credit risk. Three customers accounted for more than 87% of the Company’s revenue during the period ended March 31, 2020 and four customers accounted for more than 96% of the Company’s revenue during the period ended March 31, 2019 (See Note 4). No external supplier accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s cost of goods sold in the periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Segment Information.    The Company manages its operations on a company-wide basis as one operating segment, thereby making determinations as to the allocation of resources to the business as a whole rather than on a segment-level basis. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. The Company has determined that its Chief Executive Officer is the CODM. To date, the Company’s CODM has made such decisions and assessed performance at the Company-level.

All of the Company’s products are sold from the United States to customers.

Long-lived assets consist of net property, plant and equipment and other non-current assets. The geographic location of long-lived assets is as follows:

COVID-19 Pandemic — On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and in March 2020 classified the outbreak as a pandemic. In March 2020, the President of the United States and the Governor of California declared a state of emergency, based on the rapid increase in COVID-19 cases, including in California. Since March 2020, with the spread of the coronavirus, the Company has implemented a number of directives to ensure the safety of the Company’s personnel and the continuity of the Company’s operations.

In response to COVID-19, federal, state and local authorities have recommended social distancing and have imposed, or are considering, quarantine and isolation measures on large portions of the population, including mandatory closures of businesses deemed “non-essential” in certain jurisdictions. As of the date of these financials, the Company’s operations are deemed “essential,” largely due to the Company’s business’s support of many important sectors of the economy, including food and beverage, and thus the Company’s facilities are currently operating at close-to-normal utilization levels. The Company will continue to monitor the situation.

Events that adversely affect the Company’s suppliers could impair its ability to obtain raw material inventory in the quantities or of a quality the Company desires. The Company currently sources most of its raw materials from Italy. Though the Company is not dependent on any single Italian grower for its supply of a certain crop, events generally affecting these growers could adversely affect the Company’s business. Such events include problems with the Company’s suppliers’ businesses, finances, labor relations, ability to import raw materials, product quality issues, costs, production, insurance and reputation, as well as disease outbreaks or pandemics (such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic), acts of war, terrorism, natural disasters, fires, earthquakes, weather, flooding or other catastrophic occurrences. The Company continuously seeks alternative sources of raw materials, but it may not be successful in diversifying the raw materials it uses in its products.

If the Company needs to replace an existing supplier, there can be no assurance that supplies of raw materials will be available when required on acceptable terms, or at all, or that a new supplier would allocate sufficient capacity to the Company in order to meet requirements, fill orders in a timely manner or meet quality standards. Additionally, the Company

believes there are a limited number of competent, high-quality suppliers in the industry that can meet the Company’s strict quality and control standards. If the Company is unable to manage its supply chain effectively and ensure that its products are available to meet consumer demand, operating costs could increase and sales and profit margins could decrease.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act. The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, increased limitations on qualified charitable contributions and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. It also appropriated funds for the SBA Paycheck Protection Programs that are forgivable in certain situations to promote continued employment, as well as Economic Injury Disaster Loans to provide liquidity to small businesses harmed by COVID-19. The Company has elected not to apply for a Paycheck Protection Program loan and is actively monitoring the impact of the CARES Act. The CARES Act did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. Amendments include removal of certain exceptions to the general principles of Topic 740, Income Taxes, and simplification in several other areas.

ASU 2019-12 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods therein. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2019-12 on the consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to recognize right of use asset and lease liability for all leases with lease terms of more than 12 months, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. ASU 2016-02 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2022, with early adoption permitted. Companies may adopt this guidance using a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which provides the option of an additional transition method that allows entities to initially apply the new lease guidance at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption, rather than as of the earliest period presented. In transition, entities may also select a package of practical expedients that must be applied in its entirety to all leases commencing before the effective date, unless the lease was modified, to not reassess (a) the existence of a lease, (b) lease classification or (c) determination of initial direct costs, which effectively allows entities to carryforward accounting conclusions under previous U.S. GAAP. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of Topic 842 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 (“ASU 2016-13”) regarding Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses, which modifies the measurement of expected credit losses of certain financial instruments. The Company will be required to use a forward-looking expected credit loss model for accounts receivables, loans, and other financial instruments. The amendments will become effective for the Company for periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Adoption of the standard will be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides temporary accounting relief for contract modifications to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to a new alternative reference rate. Interest on borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility is calculated based upon LIBOR. ASU 2020-04 can be applied as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020 or any date thereafter. ASU 2020-04 will generally no longer be available to apply after December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.

3. SALE OF NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS

On April 15, 2019, UMB Capital Corporation (“UMB”) contributed $6.00 million to acquire 6,000 units for 12.5% ownership interest in Ittella International. The Company incurred issuance costs of $0.13 million resulting in net consideration received of $5.87 million.

Per the terms of Ittella International’s operating agreement, UMB is provided with a put right which may cause Ittella International to purchase all, but not less than all of UMB units upon notice (“Put Notice”). UMB can provide the Put Notice to Ittella International at any time for any reason after April 15, 2024. If Ittella International does not accept the price proposed in the Put Notice, the consideration to be paid by Ittella International to UMB for the units that are the subject of the Put Notice will be the fair market value of the units as established by a third party appraisal, subject to a floor for the fair value at 85%. If the fair value is less than 85% of the consideration proposed by UMB in their Put Notice, UMB may choose to abandon the transfer. The put right constitutes a redemption feature and therefore UMB’s noncontrolling interest (the “Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest”) is classified as temporary equity (mezzanine) in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest is initially measured at fair value, which has been determined by the Company to equal the consideration received from UMB, net of transaction costs.

The Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest is not redeemable until April 2024, however it is probable of becoming redeemable with the passage of time. Therefore, the subsequent measurement of the Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest at each reporting date is determined as the higher of (1) the initial carrying amount, increased or decreased for the redeemable noncontrolling interest’s share of net income or loss and other comprehensive income, or (2) the redemption value, which is determined to be fair value per the terms of Ittella International’s operating agreement above. In determining the measurement method of redemption value, the Company has elected to accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance to the earliest redemption date (i.e. April 2024) of the instrument using the effective interest method. Changes in the redemption value are considered to be changes in accounting estimates. Redemption value was determined using a combination of the market approach and income approach. Under the market approach, the Company estimated fair value based on market multiples of EBITDA of comparable companies. Under the income approach, the Company measured fair value based on a projected cash flow method using a discount rate determined by its management which is commensurate with the risk inherent in its current business model.

Changes in the carrying value of the Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest were as follows:

4. REVENUE RECOGNITION

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC Topic 606 using the full retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of December 31, 2017. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Nature of Revenues

Substantially all of the Company’s revenue from contracts with customers consist of the sale of plant-based meals and snacks including, but not limited to, acai and smoothie bowls, zucchini spirals, riced cauliflower, vegetable bowls and cauliflower crust pizza in the United States and is recognized at a point in time in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods. Each unit of food product sold to the customer is the performance obligation. Revenue from the sale of frozen food products is recognized upon the transfer of control to the customer, which is upon shipment to the customer.

4. REVENUE RECOGNITION (cont.)

The Company disaggregates revenue based on the type of products sold to their customers — private label, tattooed chef and other. The other revenue stream constitutes sale of similar food products directly to customers through a third-party vendor and the Company acts as a principal in these transactions. All sales are recorded within revenue on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The Company does not have material contract assets and contract liabilities as of March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Significant Judgments

Generally, the Company’s contracts with customers comprise a written quote and customer purchase order or statement of work and are governed by the Company’s trade terms and conditions. In certain instances, it may be further supplemented by separate pricing agreements. All products are sold on a standalone basis; therefore, when more than one product is included in a purchase order, the Company has observable evidence of stand-alone selling price. Contracts do not contain a significant financing component as payment terms on invoiced amounts are typically between 7 to 45 days, based on the Company’s credit assessment of individual customers, as well as industry expectations. Product returns are not significant. The contracts with customers do not include any additional performance obligations related to warranties and material rights.

From time to time, the Company may offer incentives to its customers considered to be variable consideration including discounts and demonstration costs. Customer incentives considered to be variable consideration are recorded as a reduction to revenue as part of the transaction price based on the agreement at the time of the transaction. Customer incentives are allocated entirely to the single performance obligation of transferring product to the customer.

5. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL RECEIVABLES

Accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for an estimate of amounts that are uncollectible. All of the Company’s receivables are due from customers in the United States. The Company extends credit to its customers based upon its evaluation of the following factors: (i) the customer’s financial condition, (ii) the amount of credit the customer requests, and (iii) the customer’s actual payment history (which includes disputed invoice resolution). The Company does not require its customers to post a deposit or supply collateral. The Company’s allowance for doubtful receivables is based on an analysis that estimates the amount of its total customer receivable balance that is not collectible. This analysis includes assessing a default probability to customers’ receivable balances, which is influenced by several factors, including
(i) current market conditions, (ii) periodic review of customer credit worthiness, and (iii) review of customer receivable aging and payment trends.

5. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL RECEIVABLES (cont.)

The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of their customers regularly and based on its analysis, the Company has determined an allowance for doubtful receivables is not necessary as of the periods ended March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company writes off accounts receivable whenever they become uncollectible, and any payments subsequently received on such receivables are recorded as bad debt recoveries in the period the payment is received. Credit losses from continuing operations have consistently been within management’s expectations.

Revolving credit facility

The Company is party to a revolving line of credit, which has been amended from time to time, pursuant to which a credit facility has been extended to the Company until May 25, 2021 (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility provides the Company and its subsidiaries with up to $15 million in revolving credit. Under the Credit Facility, the Company may borrow up to (a) 90% of the net amount of eligible accounts receivable; plus, (b) the lower of: (i) Sum of: (1) 50% of the net amount of eligible inventory; plus (2) 45% of the net amount of eligible in-transit

11. INDEBTEDNESS (cont.)

inventory; (ii) $5 million; or (iii) 50% of the aggregate amount of revolving loans outstanding, minus (c) the sum of all reserves. Under the Credit Facility: (i) the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio may not be less than 1.10:1.00, and (ii) the Company may make dividends or distributions in shares of stock of the same class and also distributions for the payment of taxes. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all terms and conditions of its Credit Facility.

The revolving line of credit bears interest at the sum of (i) the greater of (a) the daily Prime Rate, or (b) LIBOR plus 2%; and (ii) 1%.

The revolving line of credit has an arrangement associated with it wherein all collections from collateralized receivables are deposited into a collection account and applied to the outstanding balance of the line of credit on a daily basis. The funds in the collection account are earmarked for payment towards the outstanding line of credit and given the Company’s obligation to pay off the outstanding balance on a daily basis, the balance is classified as a current liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Notes payable

The Credit Facility includes a capital expenditure loan (“Capex Loan”) in the amount of up to $0.5 million that functions to reimburse the Company for certain qualified expenses related to the Company’s purchase of capital equipment. All borrowings against this loan are payable on a straight-line basis over 5 years and accrue interest at the greater of (a) the daily Prime Rate or (b) the daily LIBOR Rate plus two percent (2%) plus an additional two percent (2%). The balance on the Capex Loan was $0.35 million and $0.38 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, of which $0.73 million and $0.10 million is classified as current as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

In September 2018, the Company amended the Credit Facility to include a term loan in the amount of
$1 million (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan accrues interest at the sum of the (i) the greater of (a) the daily Prime Rate, or (b) LIBOR plus 2%; and (ii) 1.5% and has a maturity date of May 25, 2021. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets.

In April 2019, Ittella Italy entered into a promissory note with a financial institution in the amount of 400,000 Euro. The note accrues interest at 2.5% and has a maturity date of April 15, 2021, when the full principal and interest are due.

On June 19, 2015, Ittella Properties, LLC, a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) (See Note 15), executed a promissory note with a financial institution in the amount of $1.30 million (the “CB Loan”). The CB Loan accrues interest at an initial rate of 4.99% and is variable on an annual basis in accordance with the United States Treasury Note Index Rate plus 2.66% and subject to a minimum rate of 4.65%. The CB Loan had a maturity date of July 1, 2040 and was collateralized by the Alondra Building (Note 16) and was guaranteed by Ittella International. The loan was paid off in full through a refinancing on January 6, 2020.

12. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common Stock

The Company is authorized to issue up to 100,000 shares of common stock. Each outstanding share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote. All shares of common stock are non-assessable and non-cumulative, with no pre-emptive rights.

As of March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company has not granted any stock options or other equity based awards and has not recorded any stock-based compensation.

13. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company leases office property in San Pedro, California from Deluna Properties, Inc., a company owned by the sole stockholder. Rent expense is $0.02 million for each of the periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

In January 2009, the Company entered into a promissory note with the sole stockholder as the lender in the amount of $50,000, which matures on December 31, 2020. The note bears interest at 4.75% over the Prime Rate.

The Company entered into a credit agreement with the sole stockholder for a $1.2 million revolving line of credit in January 2007. Monthly interest payments are accrued at 4.75% above the Prime Rate on any outstanding balance. In addition, the Company agreed to pay the sole stockholder 0.67% per month of the full amount of the revolving credit line, regardless of whether the Company has borrowed against the line of credit. This agreement originally expired on December 31, 2011, but was extended to December 31, 2024. The outstanding balance of the line of credit is $0.43 million and $0.40 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and is recorded as notes payable to related parties in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

In June 2010, the Company entered into a promissory note with the sole stockholder as the lender in the amount of $150,000, which bears interest at 8.00% per annum.

In May 2018, Ittella Italy entered into a promissory note with its minority stockholder in the amount of 48,000 Euro. The note bears interest at 8.00% per annum and has a maturity date of January 31, 2021. The balance of the note is $0.98 million and $0.99 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the ordinary course of business, the Company also enters into real property leases, which require the Company as lessee to indemnify the lessor from liabilities arising out of the Company’s occupancy of the properties. The Company’s indemnification obligations are generally covered under the Company’s general insurance policies.

From time to time, the Company is involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe the disposition of any current matter will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Ittella Italy is involved in certain litigation related to the death of an independent contractor who fell off of the roof of Ittella Italy’s premises while performing pest control services. The decedent’s heirs initiated an action to recover certain pecuniary and non-pecuniary damages. Under Italian law, the president of an Italian company is automatically criminally charged if a workplace death occurs on site. Ittella Italy has engaged local counsel, and while local counsel does not believe it is probable that Ittella Italy or its president will be found culpable, Ittella Italy cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the litigation. Ittella Italy believes any required payment could be covered by an existing insurance policy, however it is not possible to determine the amount at which the insurance company will reimburse Ittella Italy or whether any reimbursement will be received at all. Therefore, based on the assessment by management together with the independent assessment from our local legal counsel, the Company believes that a loss is currently not probable or estimable under ASC 450, “Contingencies”, and no accrual has been made as of March 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

15. CONSOLIDATED VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY

Ittella Properties LLC (“Properties”), the Company’s consolidated VIE, owns the Alondra Building, which is leased by Ittella International for 10 years from August 1, 2015 through August 1, 2025. Properties is wholly owned by the sole shareholder of the Company. The construction and acquisition of the Alondra building by Properties were funded by a loan agreement with unconditional guarantees by Ittella International and terms that 100% of the Alondra building must be leased to Ittella International throughout the term of the loan agreement.

The Company concluded that it has a variable interest in Properties on the basis that Ittella International guarantees the loan for Properties and substantially all of Properties’ transactions occur with the Ittella International. Thus, Properties’ equity at risk is considered to be insufficient to finance its activities without additional support from Ittella International, and, therefore, Properties is considered a VIE.

15. CONSOLIDATED VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY (cont.)

The results of operations and cash flows of Properties are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. For the periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, 100% of the revenue of Properties is intercompany and thus was eliminated in consolidation. Properties contributed $0.10 million and $0.06 million in expenses before provision for income taxes for each of the periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated subsequent events occurring between the most recent balance sheet date and August 11, 2020, the date that the consolidated financial statements are available to be issued in order to determine whether the subsequent events are to be recorded and/or disclosed in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and footnotes.

In May 2020, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation with respect to the authorization to issue special stock and preferred stock related to the contemplated transaction reorganization.

On May 21, 2020, Myjojo, Inc. (Delaware) was formed. Myjojo, Inc. (Delaware) is authorized to issue 20,000 shares of common stock of $.001 par value. See Note 1.

Certain related party notes in the amount of $0.7 million, consisting of both principal and accrued interest, were paid off on June 2, 2020.

Ittella International made distributions in the amount of $1.89 million on June 11, 2020.

In June 2020, the Company entered into a merger agreement with Forum Merger II Corporation (“Forum”), a special purpose acquisition company (the “Merger Agreement”). Under the terms of the agreement, the existing shareholders of Ittella International will have their equity interests converted into the right to receive Forum common shares and all issued and outstanding capital stock in Myjojo will immediately convert into a right to receive Forum common shares and cash consideration of approximately $420 million. In addition, Forum Class B Common Stock will automatically convert into shares of Forum Common Stock. Ittella will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Forum, which will be survived by Myjojo. The Merger Agreement was amended on August 10, 2020 by the First Amendment to the Merger Agreement, which makes certain revisions including to (i) identify an updated delivery deadline for the PCAOB Financials by Ittella Parent to the Company as August 14, 2020, (ii) address a scrivener’s error in the form of Registration Rights Agreement and add Project Lily, LLC as a party thereto, (iii) reflect White & Case LLP as primary counsel to the Company following the signing of the Merger Agreement, (iv) change the Termination Date in the Merger Agreement to November 15, 2020 and (v) carve out any Indebtedness of the Company or its Subsidiaries paid off at Closing through the funds flow from the definition of “Additional Available Cash Consideration” in Annex I of the Merger Agreement.

In June 2020, the Company entered into a contribution agreement with its noncontrolling interests, UMB Capital Corporation and Pizzo Food, SRL. Under the terms of the agreement, prior to the closing of the Merger, (i) UMB will contribute its ownership interests of Ittella International LLC to Ittella Parent in exchange for stock of Ittella Parent and (ii) Pizzo will contribute its ownership interests in Ittella Italy to Ittella’s Chef in exchange for ownership interests in Ittella Parent. As a result of the foregoing, Ittella International LLC will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ittella Parent, and Ittella Italy will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ittella’s Chef which is, in turn, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ittella LLC. In addition, upon consummation of the Merger a key employee will be entitled to receive no more than 500,000 shares of common stock of parent and a bonus of $1.0 million if the merger is consummated on or before September 30, 2020.

In July 2020, the Company entered into a trading facility with a maximum notional amount of $30 million. Under this facility the Company has 14 open foreign exchange forward contract instruments to purchase a specific amount of funds in Euros and to settle, on an agreed upon future date, in a corresponding amount of funds in U.S. dollars.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Stockholder and Board of Directors

Myjojo, Inc.

Paramount, California

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Myjojo, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2020.

MYJOJO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations.    Myjojo, Inc. (“Myjojo”, “Company”, or “Ittella Parent”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of California on February 26, 2019 as an S-corporation to facilitate a corporate reorganization of Ittella International, Inc. which was formed as a pass-through entity. On March 27, 2019, the sole shareholder of Ittella International, Inc. contributed his 2,000 shares to Myjojo, becoming the sole stockholder. Ittella International, Inc. converted to a limited liability company, Ittella International, LLC (“Ittella International”) on April 10, 2019. On April 15, 2019 a financial institution acquired 12.5% noncontrolling membership interest in Ittella International (See Note 3).

Ittella’s Chef was incorporated under the laws of the state of California on July 20, 2017 as Qualified Subchapter S subsidiary and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ittella International. Ittella’s Chef was formed as a pass-through entity for purposes of holding Ittella International’s interest in Ittella Italy, S.R.L. (“Ittella Italy”), in which it holds a 70% ownership interest. On March 15, 2019, Ittella’s Chef was converted to a limited liability company, Ittella’s Chef, LLC (“Ittella’s Chef”).

On May 21, 2020, Myjojo, Inc. (Delaware) was formed. Myjojo, Inc. (Delaware) is authorized to issue 20,000 shares of common stock of $.001 par value. The sole stockholder of Myjojo, Inc. (Delaware) received 230 shares issued upon formation. On May 27, 2020, Myjojo Inc. (California) was merged into Myjojo Inc. (Delaware), and Myjojo, Inc. (Delaware) issued 8,000 shares of common stock to the sole stockholder of Myjojo, Inc. (California).

Myjojo, Inc. and its subsidiaries, Ittella International, Ittella’s Chef, and Ittella Italy, S.R.L. (collectively, the “Company”) are principally engaged in the manufacturing of plant-based meals and snacks including, but not limited to, acai and smoothie bowls, zucchini spirals, riced cauliflower, vegetable bowls and cauliflower crust pizza primarily in the United States and Italy.

Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards and as a result of this election, its consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates. The Company may take advantage of these exemptions up until the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of an offering or such earlier time that it is no longer an emerging growth company.

Basis of Consolidation.    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling interest directly or indirectly, and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Noncontrolling interests in Ittella Italy represent the capital contributions and portion of the earnings that are not within the Company’s control and are required to be reported separately within stockholders’ equity.

The noncontrolling interest in Ittella International is presented outside of stockholders’ equity within mezzanine equity due to an embedded conversion put option which entitles the holder to put its common units back to Ittella International at a future date (see Note 3). Income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests is shown separately within the consolidated statement of operations.

Cash.    The Company’s cash may be in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company has not experienced any losses in these accounts.

F-57

MYJOJO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Foreign Currency.    The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar for its U.S. entities. Ittella Italy’s functional currency is the Euro. Transactions in currency other than the functional currency are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of each entity are included in the results of operations in income from operations as incurred.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at year-end rates of exchange. Revenues, costs and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Equity adjustments resulting from translating foreign currency financial statements are accumulated as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

Accounts Receivable.    Trade receivables are customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment generally within 7 to 45 days from the invoice date. The Company’s allowance for doubtful receivables is based on an analysis that estimates the amount of its total customer receivable balance that is not collectible. This analysis includes assessing a default probability to customers’ receivable balances, which is influenced by several factors, including (i) current market conditions, (ii) periodic review of customer credit worthiness, and (iii) review of customer receivable aging and payment trends.

Inventory.    Inventory consists of raw materials and packaging materials, work in process and finished goods. Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a weighted average basis. Inventory is initially measured at cost and consists of the sum of the applicable expenditures and charges directly and indirectly incurred to bring products to their existing condition and location. These costs can include purchase costs and any other charges necessary to prepare the items for production. For work in process and finished goods, these costs normally include those incurred directly or indirectly in the production of inventory (i.e., direct labor and production overheads or conversion costs), and other expenses (i.e. inbound freight, transportation and handling charges, taxes and duties).

Overhead costs are allocated to the units produced within the reporting period, while abnormal costs are charged to current operations as incurred. The Company monitors the remaining utility of its inventory and writes down inventory for excess or obsolescence as appropriate.

Property, Plant and Equipment.    Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over a period considered adequate to amortize the total cost over the useful lives of the assets, which range from 5 to 7 years for machinery and equipment, 5 to 7 years for furniture and fixtures, and 3 to 5 years for computer equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvements. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Renewals and enhancements are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life of the specific property unit. When the Company retires or disposes of property, plant or equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the Company’s accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations.

Long-Lived Assets.    Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment at the asset group level whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets within an asset group to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If such asset groups are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is based upon their fair value. No impairment was recorded during the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

F-58

MYJOJO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments.    Certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or transferred for a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivables, accounts payable and certain notes payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity and/or variable rates associated with these instruments. Long-term debt as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 approximates its fair value as the interest rates are indexed to market rates. The Company categorizes the inputs to the fair value measurements into three levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:

Level 1 —  Inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company is able to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 —  Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, and can reference interest rates, yield curves, implied volatilities and credit spreads.

Level 3 —  Inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

Revenue Recognition.    The Company’s principal business is the manufacturing of plant-based meals and snacks including, but not limited to, acai and smoothie bowls, zucchini spirals, riced cauliflower, vegetable bowls and cauliflower crust pizza primarily in the United States and Italy. Revenue recognition is completed on a point in time basis when product control is transferred to the customer. In general, control transfers to the customer when the product is shipped or delivered to the customer based upon applicable shipping terms. Customer contracts generally do include more than one performance obligation and the performance obligations in the Company’s contracts are satisfied within one year. No payment terms beyond one year are granted at contract inception.

The Company disaggregates revenue based on the type of products sold to their customers — private label, Tattooed Chef and other. The other revenue stream constitutes sale of similar food products directly to customers through a third-party vendor and the Company acts as a principal in these transactions.

Most contracts also include some form of variable consideration. The most common forms of variable consideration include discounts and demonstration costs. Variable consideration is treated as a reduction in revenue when product revenue is recognized. Depending on the specific type of variable consideration, the Company uses either the expected value or most likely amount method to determine the variable consideration. The Company reviews and updates its estimates and related accruals of variable consideration each period based on the terms of the agreements, historical experience, and any recent changes in the market.

The Company does not have significant deferred revenue or unbilled receivable balances arising from transactions with customers. The Company does not capitalize contract inception costs, as contracts are one year or less and the Company does not incur significant fulfillment costs requiring capitalization.

The Company recognizes shipping and handling costs as fulfillment cost and includes in cost of goods sold upon delivery of the product to the customer.

Sales and Marketing Expenses.    The Company expenses costs associated with sales and marketing as incurred. Sales and marketing expenses were $1.43 million and $0.37 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and are included in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Interest Expense.    Interest expense includes interest primarily related to the amortization of deferred financing costs, the Company’s notes payable and line of credit.

F-59

MYJOJO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Deferred Financing Costs.    Deferred financing costs include fees associated with the Company’s line of credit agreement. Such fees are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related line of credit agreement as a component of interest expense, which approximates the effective interest rate method, in accordance with the terms of the agreement. Deferred financing costs, net were $0.05 million and
$0.08 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and are recorded as a component of other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Amortization expense of deferred financing costs was $0.03 million and $0.03 million during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Income Taxes.    Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company’s sole stockholder elected to be taxed as an S corporation for federal and state income tax purposes. Accordingly, the taxable income of the Company for federal and certain state tax purposes is attributed to, and reported by, its stockholder. The Company is subject to state franchise tax and entity-level income tax for California purposes. The Company accrues for tax distributions to be paid to the stockholder.

Ittella International was an S-Corp and became a limited liability company in April 2019, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, Ittella International is treated as a partnership. Accordingly, the taxable income of Ittella International for federal and state tax purposes is attributed to, and reported by, its members. Ittella International is subject to the centralized partnership audit regime enacted as part of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015.

Ittella Italy S.R.L. is subject to income tax applicable to its income derived from Italy.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss.    Accumulated other comprehensive loss is defined as the change in equity resulting from transactions from non-owner sources. Other comprehensive income consisted of gains and losses associated with changes in foreign currency as a result of the translation of the financial results of the Company’s Italian subsidiaries.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share.    Basic net income (loss) per share is computed as net income (loss) attributable to Myjojo, Inc. divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each year. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options (for which there are none in the periods presented).

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, basic and diluted net income (loss) per share have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reorganization transactions of Myjojo, Inc., described in Note 1.

Use of Estimates.    The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Concentrations of Credit Risk.    The Company grants credit, generally without collateral, to customers primarily in the United States. Consequently, the Company is subject to potential credit risk related to changes in business and economic factors in this geographical area. Management believes that the Company’s contract acceptance, billing and collection policies are adequate to limit potential credit risk. Five customers accounted for more than 95% and four customers accounted for more than 91% of the Company’s revenue during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively (See Note 4). No external supplier accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s cost of goods sold in the year ended December 31, 2019. There were two external suppliers accounting for more than 10% of the Company’s cost of goods sold, Supplier A at 14% and Supplier B at 11%, in the year ended December 31, 2018.

Segment Information.    The Company manages its operations on a company-wide basis as one operating segment, thereby making determinations as to the allocation of resources to the business as a whole rather than on a segment-level basis. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. The Company has determined that its Chief Executive Officer is the CODM. To date, the Company’s CODM has made such decisions and assessed performance at the Company-level.

All of the Company’s products are sold from the United States to customers.

Long-lived assets consist of net property, plant and equipment and other non-current assets. The geographic location of long-lived assets is as follows:

2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. Amendments include removal of certain exceptions to the general principles of Topic 740, Income Taxes, and simplification in several other areas. ASU 2019-12 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods therein. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2019-12 on the consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to recognize right of use asset and lease liability for all leases with lease terms of more than 12 months, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. ASU 2016-02 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2022, with early adoption permitted. Companies may adopt this guidance using a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which provides the option of an additional transition method that allows entities to initially apply the new lease guidance at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption, rather than as of the earliest period presented. In transition, entities may also select a package of practical expedients that must be applied in its entirety to all leases commencing before the effective date, unless the lease was modified, to not reassess (a) the

F-61

2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (cont.)

existence of a lease, (b) lease classification or (c) determination of initial direct costs, which effectively allows entities to carryforward accounting conclusions under previous U.S. GAAP. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of Topic 842 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 (“ASU 2016-13”) regarding Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses, which modifies the measurement of expected credit losses of certain financial instruments. The Company will be required to use a forward-looking expected credit loss model for accounts receivables, loans, and other financial instruments. The amendments will become effective for the Company for periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Adoption of the standard will be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides temporary accounting relief for contract modifications to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to a new alternative reference rate. Interest on borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility is calculated based upon LIBOR. ASU 2020-04 can be applied as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020 or any date thereafter. ASU 2020-04 will generally no longer be available to apply after December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.

3. SALE OF NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

On April 15, 2019, UMB Capital Corporation (“UMB”) contributed $6.0 million to acquire 6,000 units for 12.5% ownership interest in Ittella International. The Company incurred issuance costs of $0.13 million resulting in net consideration received of $5.87 million.

Per the terms of Ittella International’s operating agreement, UMB is provided with a put right which may cause Ittella International to purchase all, but not less than all of UMB units upon notice (“Put Notice”). UMB can provide the Put Notice to Ittella International at any time for any reason after April 15, 2024. If Ittella International does not accept the price proposed in the Put Notice, the consideration to be paid by Ittella International to UMB for the units that are the subject of the Put Notice will be the fair market value of the units as established by a third party appraisal, subject to a floor for the fair value at 85%. If the fair value is less than 85% of the consideration proposed by UMB in their Put Notice, UMB may choose to abandon the transfer. The put right constitutes a redemption feature and therefore UMB’s noncontrolling interest (the “Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest”) is classified as temporary equity (mezzanine) in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest is initially measured at fair value, which has been determined by the Company to equal the consideration received from UMB, net of transaction costs.

The Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest is not redeemable until April 2024, however it is probable of becoming redeemable with the passage of time. Therefore, the subsequent measurement of the Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest at each reporting date is determined as the higher of (1) the initial carrying amount, increased or decreased for the redeemable noncontrolling interest’s share of net income or loss and other comprehensive income, or (2) the redemption value, which is determined to be fair value per the terms of Ittella International’s operating agreement above. In determining the measurement method of redemption value, the Company has elected to accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance to the earliest redemption date (i.e. April 2024) of the instrument using the effective interest method. Changes in the redemption value are considered to be changes in accounting estimates. Redemption value was determined using a combination of the market approach and income approach. Under the market approach, the Company estimated fair value based on market multiples of EBITDA of comparable companies. Under the income approach, the Company measured fair value based on a projected cash flow method using a discount rate determined by its management which is commensurate with the risk inherent in its current business model.

4. REVENUE RECOGNITION

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC Topic 606 using the full retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of December 31, 2017. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Nature of Revenues

Substantially all of the Company’s revenue from contracts with customers consist of the sale of plant-based meals and snacks including, but not limited to, acai and smoothie bowls, zucchini spirals, riced cauliflower, vegetable bowls and cauliflower crust pizza in the United States and is recognized at a point in time in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods. Each unit of food product sold to the customer is the performance obligation. Revenue from the sale of frozen food products is recognized upon the transfer of control to the customer, which is upon shipment to the customer.

The Company disaggregates revenue based on the type of products sold to their customers — private label, Tattooed Chef and other. The other revenue stream constitutes sale of similar food products directly to customers through a third-party vendor and the Company acts as a principal in these transactions. All sales are recorded within revenue on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The Company does not have material contract assets and contract liabilities as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Significant Judgments

Generally, the Company’s contracts with customers comprise a written quote and customer purchase order or statement of work and are governed by the Company’s trade terms and conditions. In certain instances, it may be further supplemented by separate pricing agreements. All products are sold on a standalone basis; therefore, when more than one product is included in a purchase order, the Company has observable evidence of stand-alone selling price. Contracts do not contain a significant financing component as payment terms on invoiced amounts are typically between 7 to 45 days, based on the Company’s credit assessment of individual customers, as well as industry expectations. Product returns are not significant. The contracts with customers do not include any additional performance obligations related to warranties and material rights.

From time to time, the Company may offer incentives to its customers considered to be variable consideration including discounts and demonstration costs. Customer incentives considered to be variable consideration are recorded as a reduction to revenue as part of the transaction price based on the agreement at the time of the transaction. Customer incentives are allocated entirely to the single performance obligation of transferring product to the customer.

5. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL RECEIVABLES

Accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for an estimate of amounts that are uncollectible. All of the Company’s receivables are due from customers in the United States. The Company extends credit to its customers based upon its evaluation of the following factors: (i) the customer’s financial condition, (ii) the amount of credit the customer requests, and (iii) the customer’s actual payment history (which includes disputed invoice resolution). The Company does not require its customers to post a deposit or supply collateral. The Company’s allowance for doubtful receivables is based on an analysis that estimates the amount of its total customer receivable balance that is not collectible. This analysis includes assessing a default probability to customers’ receivable balances, which is influenced by several factors, including
(i) current market conditions, (ii) periodic review of customer credit worthiness, and (iii) review of customer receivable aging and payment trends.

The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of their customers regularly and based on its analysis, the Company has determined an allowance for doubtful receivables is not necessary for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. The Company writes off accounts receivable whenever they become uncollectible, and any payments subsequently received on such receivables are recorded as bad debt recoveries in the period the payment is received. Credit losses from continuing operations have consistently been within management’s expectations.

Deferred taxes are recorded to give recognition to temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. The tax effects of these temporary differences are recorded as deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. Deferred tax assets generally represent items that can be used as a tax deduction or credit in future years. Deferred tax liabilities generally represent items that have been deducted for tax purposes but have not yet been recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. To the extent there are deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized, a valuation allowance would not be recorded. The components of deferred income tax assets and liabilities, which are included in other assets in the

Prior to 2019, the Company maintained a valuation allowance on its Italian net operating loss carryforward. Based on earnings in 2019, as well as the expectation of sufficient future taxable income, the Company believes it will be able to fully utilize the Italian net operating loss (“NOL”) and released its valuation allowance during 2019. Available net operating losses were $0.60 million and $1.40 million as of the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. The NOL carryforward generated in 2018 will be carried forward indefinitely.

Accounting standards require a two-step approach to determine how to recognize tax benefits in the financial statements where recognition and measurement of a tax benefit must be evaluated separately. A tax benefit for a tax position will be recognized only if it meets a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold based solely on the technical merits of the position. For tax positions that meet this threshold, the tax benefit recognized is based on the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions.

Interest and penalties, if incurred, are recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The Company is subject to potential income tax audits on open tax years by any taxing jurisdiction in which it operates. The taxing authorities of the most significant jurisdictions are the United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and the California Franchise Tax Board and the Agenzia delle Entrate (the “Italian Revenue Agency”). The Company’s open audit periods are generally three and four years for federal and state filings, respectively, from the date of tax return filing. For Italian tax purposes, the statute of limitations is seven years.

Revolving credit facility

The Company is party to a revolving line of credit, which has been amended from time to time, pursuant to which a credit facility has been extended to the Company until May 25, 2021 (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility provides the Company and its subsidiaries with up to $15 million in revolving credit. Under the Credit Facility, the Company may borrow up to (a) 90% of the net amount of eligible accounts receivable; plus, (b) the lower of:

F-67

MYJOJO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements

12. INDEBTEDNESS (cont.)

(i) Sum of: (1) 50% of the net amount of eligible inventory; plus (2) 45% of the net amount of eligible in-transit inventory; (ii) $5 million; or (iii) 50% of the aggregate amount of revolving loans outstanding, minus (c) the sum of all reserves. Under the Credit Facility: (i) the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio may not be less than 1.10:1.00, and (ii) the Company may make dividends or distributions in shares of stock of the same class and also distributions for the payment of taxes. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company was in compliance with all terms and conditions of its Credit Facility.

The revolving line of credit bears interest at the sum of (i) the greater of (a) the daily Prime Rate, or (b) LIBOR plus 2%; and (ii) 1%.

The revolving line of credit has an arrangement associated with it wherein all collections from collateralized receivables are deposited into a collection account and applied to the outstanding balance of the line of credit on a daily basis. The funds in the collection account are earmarked for payment towards the outstanding line of credit and given the Company’s obligation to pay off the outstanding balance on a daily basis, the balance is classified as a current liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Notes payable

The Credit Facility includes a capital expenditure loan (“Capex Loan”) in the amount of up to $0.5 million that functions to reimburse the Company for certain qualified expenses related to the Company’s purchase of capital equipment. All borrowings against this loan are payable on a straight-line basis over 5 years and accrue interest at the greater of (a) the daily Prime Rate or (b) the daily LIBOR Rate plus two percent (2%) plus an additional two percent (2%). The balance on the Capex Loan was $0.38 million and $0.32 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, of which $0.10 million is classified as current at December 31, 2019 and 2018.

In September 2018, the Company amended the Credit Facility to include a term loan in the amount of
$1 million (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan accrues interest at the sum of the (i) the greater of (a) the daily Prime Rate, or (b) LIBOR plus 2%; and (ii) 1.5% and has a maturity date of May 25, 2021. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets.

In April 2019, Ittella Italy entered into a promissory note with a financial institution in the amount of 400,000 Euro. The note accrues interest at 2.5% and has a maturity date of April 15, 2021, when the full principal and interest are due.

On June 19, 2015, Ittella Properties, LLC, a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) (See Note 16), executed a promissory note with a financial institution in the amount of $1.3 million (the “CB Loan”). The CB Loan accrues interest at an initial rate of 4.99% and is variable on an annual basis in accordance with the United States Treasury Note Index Rate plus 2.66% and subject to a minimum rate of 4.65%. The CB Loan has a maturity date of July 1, 2040 and is collateralized by the Alondra Building (Note 16) and is guaranteed by Ittella International. The outstanding balance on the CB Loan was $1.16 million as of the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

On August 12, 2015, Ittella Properties, LLC, the VIE, executed a note payable with a financial institution in the amount of $1.06 million (the “CDC Loan”). The CDC Loan accrues interest at 2.88% and has a maturity date of August 1, 2035. The CDC Loan is secured by the Alondra Building and is guaranteed by Ittella International. The outstanding balance on the CDC Loan was $0.87 million at each of the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Future minimum principal payments due on the notes payable, including notes payable to related parties, for years subsequent to December 31, 2019 are as follows:

14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company leases office property in San Pedro, California from Deluna Properties, Inc., a company owned by the sole stockholder. Rent expense is $0.06 million per year for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

In January 2009, the Company entered into a promissory note with the sole stockholder as the lender in the amount of $50,000, which matures on December 31, 2020. The note bears interest at 4.75% over the Prime Rate.

The Company entered into a credit agreement with the sole stockholder for a $1.20 million revolving line of credit in January 2007. Monthly interest payments are accrued at 4.75% above the Prime Rate on any outstanding balance. In addition, the Company agreed to pay the sole stockholder 0.67% per month of the full amount of the revolving credit line, regardless of whether the Company has borrowed against the line of credit. This agreement originally expired on December 31, 2011, but was extended to December 31, 2024. The outstanding balance of the line of credit is $0.40 million as at December 31, 2019 and 2018 and is recorded as notes payable to related parties in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

In June 2010, the Company entered into a promissory note with the sole stockholder as the lender in the amount of $150,000, which bears interest at 8.00% per annum.

In May 2018, Ittella Italy entered into a promissory note with its minority stockholder in the amount of 48,000 Euro. The note bears interest at 8.00% per annum and has a maturity date of January 31, 2021. The balance of the note is $0.99 million and $0.55 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the ordinary course of business, the Company also enters into real property leases, which require the Company as lessee to indemnify the lessor from liabilities arising out of the Company’s occupancy of the properties. The Company’s indemnification obligations are generally covered under the Company’s general insurance policies.

From time to time, the Company is involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe the disposition of any current matter will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Ittella Italy is involved in certain litigation related to the death of an independent contractor who fell off of the roof of Ittella Italy’s premises while performing pest control services. The decedent’s heirs initiated an action to recover certain pecuniary and non-pecuniary damages. Under Italian law, the president of an Italian company is automatically criminally charged if a workplace death occurs on site. Ittella Italy has engaged local counsel, and while local counsel does not believe it is probable that Ittella Italy or its president will be found culpable, Ittella Italy cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the litigation. Ittella Italy believes any required payment could be covered by an existing insurance policy, however it is not possible to determine the amount at which the insurance company will reimburse Ittella Italy or whether any reimbursement will be received at all. Therefore, based on the assessment by management together with the independent assessment from our local legal counsel, the Company believes that a loss is currently not probable or estimable under ASC 450, “Contingencies”, and no accrual has been made as of December 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

16. CONSOLIDATED VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY

Ittella Properties LLC (“Properties”), the Company’s consolidated VIE, owns the Alondra Building, which is leased by Ittella International for 10 years from August 1, 2015 through August 1, 2025. Properties is wholly owned by the sole shareholder of the Company. The construction and acquisition of the Alondra building by Properties were funded by a loan agreement with unconditional guarantees by Ittella International and terms that 100% of the Alondra building must be leased to Ittella International throughout the term of the loan agreement.

The Company concluded that it has a variable interest in Properties on the basis that Ittella International guarantees the loan for Properties and substantially all of Properties’ transactions occur with the Ittella International. Thus, Properties’ equity at risk is considered to be insufficient to finance its activities without additional support from Ittella International, and, therefore, Properties is considered a VIE.

MYJOJO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements

16. CONSOLIDATED VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY (cont.)

The results of operations and cash flows of Properties are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, 100% of the revenue of Properties is intercompany and thus was eliminated in consolidation. Properties contributed $0.20 million in expenses before provision for income taxes for each of the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated subsequent events occurring between the most recent balance sheet date and August 11, 2020, the date that the consolidated financial statements are available to be issued in order to determine whether the subsequent events are to be recorded and/or disclosed in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and footnotes.

In January 2020, the Company refinanced the $2.10 million outstanding debt of its VIE (see Note 16) with a financial institution.

In May 2020, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation with respect to the authorization to issue special stock and preferred stock related to the contemplated transaction reorganization.

On May 21, 2020, Myjojo, Inc. (Delaware) was formed. Myjojo, Inc. (Delaware) is authorized to issue 20,000 shares of common stock of $.001 par value. See Note 1.

Certain related party notes in the amount of $0.70 million, consisting of both principal and accrued interest, were paid off on June 2, 2020.

Ittella International made distributions in the amount of $1.89 million on June 11, 2020.

In June 2020, the Company entered into a merger (“Merger”) agreement with Forum Merger II Corporation (“Forum”), a special purpose acquisition company. Under the terms of the agreement, the existing shareholders of Ittella International will have their equity interests converted into the right to receive Forum common shares and all issued and outstanding capital stock in Myjojo will immediately convert into a right to receive Forum common shares and cash consideration of approximately $420 million. In addition, Forum Class B Common Stock will automatically convert into shares of Forum Common Stock. Ittella will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Forum, which will be survived by Myjojo. The Merger Agreement was amended on August 10, 2020 by the First Amendment to the Merger Agreement, which makes certain revisions including to (i) identify an updated delivery deadline for the PCAOB Financials by Ittella Parent to the Company as August 14, 2020, (ii) address a scrivener’s error in the form of Registration Rights Agreement and add Project Lily, LLC as a party thereto, (iii) reflect White & Case LLP as primary counsel to the Company following the signing of the Merger Agreement, (iv) change the Termination Date in the Merger Agreement to November 15, 2020 and (v) carve out any Indebtedness of the Company or its Subsidiaries paid off at Closing through the funds flow from the definition of “Additional Available Cash Consideration” in Annex I of the Merger Agreement.

In June 2020, the Company entered into a contribution agreement with its noncontrolling interests, UMB Capital Corporation and Pizzo Food, SRL. Under the terms of the agreement, prior to the closing of the Merger, (i) UMB will contribute its ownership interests of Ittella International LLC to Ittella Parent in exchange for stock of Ittella Parent and (ii) Pizzo will contribute its ownership interests in Ittella Italy to Ittella’s Chef in exchange for ownership interests in Ittella Parent. As a result of the foregoing, Ittella International LLC will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ittella Parent, and Ittella Italy will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ittella’s Chef which is, in turn, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ittella LLC. In addition, upon consummation of the Merger a key employee will be entitled to receive no more than 500,000 shares of common stock of parent and a bonus of $1.0 million if the merger is consummated on or before September 30, 2020.

MYJOJO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements

17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (cont.)

In July 2020, the Company entered into a trading facility with a maximum notional amount of $30 million. Under this facility the Company has 14 open foreign exchange forward contract instruments to purchase a specific amount of funds in Euros and to settle, on an agreed-upon future date, in a corresponding amount of funds in U.S. dollars.

COVID-19 Pandemic — On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and in March 2020 classified the outbreak as a pandemic. In March 2020, the President of the United States and the Governor of California declared a state of emergency, based on the rapid increase in COVID-19 cases, including in California. Since March 2020, with the spread of the coronavirus, the Company has implemented a number of directives to ensure the safety of the Company’s personnel and the continuity of the Company’s operations.

In response to COVID-19, federal, state and local authorities have recommended social distancing and have imposed, or are considering, quarantine and isolation measures on large portions of the population, including mandatory closures of businesses deemed “non-essential” in certain jurisdictions. As of the date of these financials, the Company’s operations are deemed “essential,” largely due to the Company’s business’s support of many important sectors of the economy, including food and beverage, and thus the Company’s facilities are currently operating at close-to-normal utilization levels. The Company will continue to monitor the situation.

Events that adversely affect the Company’s suppliers could impair its ability to obtain raw material inventory in the quantities or of a quality the Company desires. The Company currently sources most of its raw materials from Italy. Though the Company is not dependent on any single Italian grower for its supply of a certain crop, events generally affecting these growers could adversely affect the Company’s business. Such events include problems with the Company’s suppliers’ businesses, finances, labor relations, ability to import raw materials, product quality issues, costs, production, insurance and reputation, as well as disease outbreaks or pandemics (such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic), acts of war, terrorism, natural disasters, fires, earthquakes, weather, flooding or other catastrophic occurrences. The Company continuously seeks alternative sources of raw materials, but it may not be successful in diversifying the raw materials it uses in its products.

If the Company needs to replace an existing supplier, there can be no assurance that supplies of raw materials will be available when required on acceptable terms, or at all, or that a new supplier would allocate sufficient capacity to the Company in order to meet requirements, fill orders in a timely manner or meet quality standards. Additionally, the Company believes there are a limited number of competent, high-quality suppliers in the industry that can meet the Company’s strict quality and control standards. If the Company is unable to manage its supply chain effectively and ensure that its products are available to meet consumer demand, operating costs could increase and sales and profit margins could decrease.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act. The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, increased limitations on qualified charitable contributions and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. It also appropriated funds for the SBA Paycheck Protection Programs that are forgivable in certain situations to promote continued employment, as well as Economic Injury Disaster Loans to provide liquidity to small businesses harmed by COVID-19. The Company has elected not to apply for a Paycheck Protection Program loan and is actively monitoring the impact of the CARES Act. The Company does not believe the CARES Act will have a material impact on its future financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In addition, the Closing Date Statement shall also include (i) the Company’s calculation of the Merger Consideration based on the foregoing estimates (and the other components contemplated by Section 3.2 in the calculation of the Merger Consideration), (ii) a copy of the Company’s good faith estimated unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of immediately prior to the Closing upon which such calculations are based, and (iii) wire transfer or other applicable delivery instructions for payment of each item of Estimated Transaction Expenses to be paid at Closing. Each of the components required to be set forth on the Closing Date Statement shall be calculated in accordance with the definitions set forth in this Agreement.

Annex A-1-5

The calculations set forth in the Merger Consideration Schedule shall be prepared in accordance with the Company Certificate and the requirements of the DGCL. Each of the Parent Parties shall be entitled to rely (without any duty of inquiry) upon the Merger Consideration Schedule, and the Company Letter of Transmittal shall be required to be delivered by each Pre-Closing Holder as a condition to receipt of any Merger Consideration and shall include a waiver of, among other things, any and all claims (i) that the Merger Consideration Schedule did not accurately reflect the terms of the Company Certificate, and (ii) in connection with the issuance of any Company Interests (including any rights to indemnities from the Company or any of its Affiliates pursuant to any Contract entered into by such Pre-Closing Holder in connection with such issuance).

(c) Parent shall be entitled to review and comment upon the Closing Date Statement and the Merger Consideration Schedule delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section 3.1, and the Company shall consider Parent’s comments thereto in good faith (and, in the event of any such adjustments based on the comment of Parent, all references in this Agreement to the Closing Date Statement or the Merger Consideration Schedule shall be deemed to be references to such documents after giving effect to such adjustments).

3.2 Merger Consideration. The aggregate consideration to be paid to the Pre-Closing Holders shall be the Aggregate Consideration Value, as calculated below. The Aggregate Consideration Value will be paid to the Pre-Closing Holders (the “Merger Consideration”) in the form of: (i) Cash from Parent, the Company and/or its Subsidiaries in an amount equal to the Cash Consideration, and (ii) a number of shares of Parent Common Stock (the “Equity Consideration”) equal to (A) the Aggregate Consideration Value minus the Cash Consideration, divided by (B) $10.00 (the “Reference Price”), and (iii) the contingent right to receive the Ittella Holdback Shares after the Closing in accordance with Section 3.7.

(a) $420,000,000, plus

(b) the amount of Estimated Closing Date Cash, plus

(c) the Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount (if a positive number), minus

(d) the absolute value of the Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount (if a negative number), minus

(e) the Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness, minus

(f) the Adjustment Escrow Amount, minus

(g) the Holder Representative Expense Amount.

3.3 Conversion of Company Interests.

(a) Conversion of Company Interests. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Person, including by any Pre-Closing Holder, each Company Interest that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Company Interests that are cancelled pursuant to Section 3.4(b)) shall thereupon be canceled and converted into and become the right to receive the applicable Per Share Amount for such Company Interest.

(b) Subsidiary-Owned Equity Interests. All Equity Interests of the Company (whether or not a Company Interest) owned by any Subsidiary of the Company will be canceled automatically without conversion thereof and no payment or distribution will be made with respect thereto.

Annex A-1-6

(c) Extinguishment of all Pre-Closing Holders Equity Interests in the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, from and after the Effective Time, (i) all Persons other than Parent shall cease to have any rights as holders of any Equity Interests in the Company or the Surviving Subsidiary (and, other than any Equity Interests in the Company that may be held by Parent, no other Equity Interests in the Company shall remain outstanding after the Effective Time), and (ii) the consideration paid pursuant to this Article III upon the delivery of Letters of Transmittal (and surrender of Certificates, if any) in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Interests, subject to the continuing rights of the Pre-Closing Holders expressly set forth under this Agreement (to the extent applicable). At the Effective Time, the transfer books of the Company shall be closed and no transfer of interests of Company Interests shall be made thereafter.

3.4 Exchange Procedures.

(a) At the Closing, Parent shall deliver to (i) the Holder Representative, that number of shares of Parent Common Stock and cash (in respect of the obligation to pay cash in lieu of fractional interests as provided in Section 3.4(c)) necessary to make payment of the Equity Consideration to the Pre-Closing Holders (without giving effect to the Merger Consideration Adjustment) and an amount equal to the Cash Consideration, and (ii) the Escrow Agent, that number of shares of Parent Common Stock necessary to fund the Adjustment Escrow Amount and the Holdback Releases.

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable following the date hereof, the Company shall mail or otherwise deliver to each Pre-Closing Holder of Company Interests (i) a letter of transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (“Company Letter of Transmittal”), and (ii) instructions for use in receiving the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration in respect of the Company Interests held by such Pre-Closing Holder. After the Effective Time, each Pre-Closing Holder of Company Interests, upon surrender of a Company Letter of Transmittal, shall be entitled to receive from the Holder Representative in exchange therefor such portion of the Merger Consideration into which such holder’s Company Interests (as applicable) shall have been converted as a result of the Merger (and, for the avoidance of doubt, without giving effect to any Merger Consideration Adjustment). If any Pre-Closing Holder’s shares of Company Interests are certificated, such Pre-Closing Holder shall be required to surrender and deliver to Parent all certificates (each, a “Certificate”) for such Company Interests, or a duly completed affidavit of loss (in a customary form reasonably acceptable to Parent) with respect to any lost, stolen, or destroyed Certificate, together with such Pre-Closing Holder’s Company Letter of Transmittal, before such Pre-Closing Holder shall be entitled to receive the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 3.4(b). Pending such surrender of a Pre-Closing Holder’s Certificate(s), such Certificate(s) shall be deemed for all purposes to evidence such Pre-Closing Holder’s right to receive the portion of the Merger Consideration into which such Company Interests shall have been converted as a result of the Transactions and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued (whether in book-entry form or otherwise) in exchange for Parent Common Stock or Company Interests. In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share, Parent shall pay to each former holder of Parent Common Stock or Pre-Closing Holder who otherwise would be entitled to receive such fractional share an amount in cash (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) determined by multiplying (i) the Reference Price, by (ii) the fraction of a share (rounded to the nearest thousandth when expressed in decimal form) of Parent Common Stock which such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to this Article III. For the avoidance of doubt, the calculation of any cash in lieu of fractional shares to be paid pursuant to this Section 3.4(c) shall be made with respect to the aggregate shares of Parent Common Stock, to which such former holder of Parent Common Stock or Pre-Closing Holder would otherwise be entitled pursuant to this Agreement, and not with respect to the conversion of each share of Parent Common Stock or Company Interest, respectively. For illustrative purposes only, if, pursuant to this Agreement, a Pre-Closing Holder would be entitled to 1.5 shares of Parent Common Stock in exchange for each share of Company Interests held by such Pre-Closing Holder, and such Pre-Closing Holder holds 11 shares of Company Interests, such Pre-Closing Holder would be entitled to cash in lieu of .5 shares of Parent Common Stock (i.e., 16.5 minus 16).

(d) Parent may cause the Holder Representative to return any Parent Common Stock remaining unclaimed 180 days after the Effective Time, and thereafter each remaining Pre-Closing Holder and each record holder of outstanding shares of Parent Stock prior to the Effective shall be entitled to look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat, and other similar Laws) as a general creditor thereof with respect to such shares and warrants and dividends and distributions thereon to which he, she, or it is entitled upon surrender of his, her, or its certificates.

Annex A-1-7

3.5 Merger Consideration Adjustment.

(a) The Merger Consideration may be increased or reduced as set forth in this Section 3.5. Any increase or decrease in the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall be referred to as a “Merger Consideration Adjustment”. Any payments made in respect of any Merger Consideration Adjustment pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration for all Tax purposes unless otherwise required by any applicable Law.

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, and in any event within ninety (90) days of the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Holder Representative (A) an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries (the “Final Closing Balance Sheet”), and (B) a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth Parent’s good faith calculations of (with reasonable supporting detail): (w) Net Working Capital as of 12:01 a.m. (Eastern time) on the Closing Date (“Closing Date Net Working Capital”), (x) the aggregate amount of all Indebtedness of the Company as of immediately prior to the Closing on the Closing Date (“Closing Date Indebtedness”), (y) the aggregate Cash of the Company as of immediately prior to the Closing on the Closing Date (“Closing Date Cash”), and (z) the aggregate amount of Company Transaction Expenses as of immediately prior to the Closing on the Closing Date (the “Closing Company Transaction Expenses”), in each case, calculated in accordance with the definitions set forth in this Agreement. The Final Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared using the Accounting Principles. From the Closing Date through the final determination and delivery of the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 3.5, Parent shall provide the Holder Representative and its representatives reasonable access (during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice and at the sole cost and expense of the Holder Representative) to the records, properties, personnel and (subject to the execution of customary work paper access letters if requested) auditors of the Company and its Subsidiaries relating to the preparation of the Final Closing Balance Sheet and shall cause the personnel of the Company and its Subsidiaries to reasonably cooperate with the Holder Representative in connection with its review of the Final Closing Balance Sheet; provided, however, that Parent shall not be required to provide any information the disclosure of which would violate applicable Law (including competition or antitrust Law) or that would, based on the advice of counsel, result in the waiver of attorney client privilege. If Parent does not provide information pursuant to the proviso of the preceding sentence, Parent will provide notice to the Holder Representative that such information is being withheld and Parent will use its reasonable best efforts to communicate, to the extent feasible, the applicable information in a way that will not violate the applicable privilege or applicable Law.

(c) If the Holder Representative disagrees with the calculations of Closing Date Net Working Capital, Closing Date Indebtedness, Closing Date Cash and/or Closing Company Transaction Expenses set forth in the Closing Statement, it shall notify Parent of such disagreement in writing (a “Disagreement Notice”), setting forth in reasonable detail the particulars of such disagreement within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Statement. If the Holder Representative does not provide a notice of disagreement within such thirty (30)-day period, the Holder Representative and Parent shall be deemed to have agreed to the Closing Balance Sheet and the calculations of Closing Date Net Working Capital, Closing Date Indebtedness, Closing Date Cash and Closing Company Transaction Expenses set forth in the Closing Statement, which shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder. If any Disagreement Notice is timely provided, Parent and the Holder Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts for a period of thirty (30) days (or such longer period as they may mutually agree) to resolve any disagreements with respect to the calculations of Closing Date Net Working Capital, Closing Date Indebtedness, Closing Date Cash or Closing Company Transaction Expenses. If, at the end of such period, they are unable to resolve such disagreements, then any such remaining disagreements shall be resolved by Moss Adams LLP or such other independent accounting or financial consulting firm of recognized national standing as may be mutually selected by Parent and the Holder Representative (such firm, subject to the following proviso, the “Accounting Referee”). Each of Parent and the Holder Representative shall promptly provide their respective assertions regarding Closing Date Net Working Capital, Closing Date Indebtedness, Closing Date Cash and Closing Company Transaction Expenses and, to the extent relevant thereto, the Final Closing Balance Sheet in writing to the Accounting Referee and to each other; provided, that no Party shall disclose to the Accounting Referee any settlement discussions (or the contents thereof) between the Parties without the prior consent of the other Party. The Accounting Referee shall be instructed to render its determination with respect to such disagreements as soon as reasonably possible (which the Parties agree should not be later than thirty (30) days following the day on which the disagreement is referred to the Accounting Referee). The Accounting Referee shall base its determination solely on (i) the written submissions of

Annex A-1-8

the parties and shall not conduct an independent investigation and (ii) the extent (if any) to which Closing Date Net Working Capital, Closing Date Indebtedness, Closing Date Cash or Closing Company Transaction Expenses require adjustment (only with respect to the remaining disagreements submitted to the Accounting Referee) in order to be determined in accordance with Section 3.5(a) (including the definitions of the defined terms used in Section 3.5(a)), and the Parties shall instruct the Accounting Referee to make all determinations in accordance with the definitions set forth in this Agreement. The Accounting Referee may not assign a value greater than the greatest value for a disputed item claimed by either Party or smaller than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party. The determination of the Accounting Referee shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. The date on which Closing Date Net Working Capital, Closing Date Indebtedness, Closing Date Cash and Closing Company Transaction Expenses are finally determined in accordance with this Section 3.5(c) is hereinafter referred to as the “Determination Date.” All fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Accounting Referee hereunder shall be borne pro rata as between Parent, on the one hand, and the Holder Representative from the Reserve, on the other hand, in proportion to the allocation of the dollar value of the amounts in dispute as between Parent and the Holder Representative (as set forth in the written submissions to the Accounting Referee) made by the Accounting Referee such that the Party prevailing on the greater dollar value of such disputes pays the lesser proportion of the fees and expenses. For example, if the Holder Representative challenges items underlying the calculations of Closing Date Net Working Capital, Closing Date Indebtedness, Closing Date Cash and Closing Company Transaction Expenses in the net amount of $1,000,000, and the Accounting Referee determines that Parent has a valid claim for $400,000 of the $1,000,000, Parent shall bear sixty percent (60%) of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee and the Holder Representative shall bear the remaining forty percent (40%) of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee from the Reserve.

(d) The “Adjustment Amount,” which may be positive or negative, shall mean (i) Closing Date Net Working Capital (as finally determined in accordance with Section 3.5(c)), minus Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital, plus (ii) Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness, minus Closing Date Indebtedness (as finally determined in accordance with Section 3.5(c)), plus (iii) Closing Date Cash (as finally determined in accordance with Section 3.5(c)), minus Estimated Closing Date Cash, plus (iv) Estimated Company Transaction Expenses, minus Closing Company Transaction Expenses (as finally determined in accordance with Section 3.5(c)). If the Adjustment Amount is a positive number, then the Merger Consideration shall be increased by the Adjustment Amount, and if the Adjustment Amount is a negative number, then the Merger Consideration shall be decreased by the absolute value of the Adjustment Amount. The Adjustment Amount shall be paid in accordance with Section 3.5(e) or Section 3.5(f), as applicable.

(e) If the Adjustment Amount is a positive number, then, promptly following the Determination Date, and in any event within three (3) Business Days after the delivery by the Holder Representative of the updated Merger Consideration Schedule required to be delivered pursuant to Section 3.5(g), (i) Parent shall deliver (x) to the Holder Representative for further delivery to each Pre-Closing Holder a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to (A) the Adjustment Amount, divided by (B) the Reference Price, and (ii) the parties shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent in writing to release from the Adjustment Escrow Account to the Holder Representative (for further delivery to each Pre-Closing Holder) all of the shares of Adjustment Escrow Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, in no event shall Parent be required pursuant to subclause (i) of the preceding sentence to issue or deliver an amount of Parent Common Stock that exceeds the quotient of the Adjustment Escrow Amount divided by the Reference Price.

(f) If the Adjustment Amount is a negative number (the absolute value of such amount, the “Deficit Amount”), then, promptly following the Determination Date, and in any event within three (3) Business Days of the Determination Date, (i) the parties shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent in writing to deliver, from the Adjustment Escrow Account to Parent that number of shares of Adjustment Escrow Stock that is equal to (A) the Deficit Amount divided by (B) the Reference Price. If, after release of the Adjustment Escrow Stock to Parent in accordance with the preceding sentence, any Adjustment Escrow Stock remains in the Adjustment Escrow Account, the parties shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to release such balance to the Holder Representative (for further delivery to each Pre-Closing Holder).

(g) If the Adjustment Amount is greater than the Adjustment Escrow Amount, then within three (3) Business Days after the Determination Date, the Holder Representative shall prepare and deliver to Parent a certified update to the Merger Consideration Schedule, prepared in accordance with the terms of the Company Certificate (the “Updated Merger Consideration Schedule”). The Updated Merger Consideration Schedule shall give effect to the Merger Consideration Adjustment, the Adjustment Amount and specify in detail the portion of any such additional Parent Common Stock or released Adjustment Escrow Stock that each Pre-Closing Holder is entitled to receive as a

Annex A-1-9

result. The Holder Representative, Parent and each of their respective agents and Affiliates shall be entitled to rely (without any duty of inquiry) upon the Updated Merger Consideration Schedule. (i) Parent shall issue to the Holder Representative for further delivery to the Pre-Closing Holders a number of additional shares of Parent Common Stock equal to (A) the Adjustment Amount minus the Adjustment Escrow Amount divided by (B) the Reference Price and (ii) Parent and the Holder Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to release the Adjustment Escrow Stock to the Holder Representative (for further delivery to each Pre-Closing Holder).

3.6 Withholding. Parent, the Company, the Holder Representative, and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable or deliverable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to any Person such amounts (if any) that Parent, the Company, the Holder Representative, and the Escrow Agent are required to deduct and withhold with respect to any such deliveries and payments under applicable Law. To the extent that amounts or shares of Parent Stock are so withheld, and duly and timely deposited with the appropriate Governmental Authority, by Parent, the Company, the Holder Representative, or the Escrow Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

3.7 Holdback.

(a) After the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the holders of Company Interests shall have the contingent right to receive additional consideration from Parent based on the performance of Parent if the requirements as set forth in this Section 3.7 are achieved. If during the three (3) year period following the Closing Date (the “Holdback Period”), the price per share of Parent Common Stock on any twenty (20) trading days in any thirty (30) day trading period (i) equals or exceeds Twelve U.S. Dollars ($12.00) (the “First Share Price Trigger”), or (ii) equals or exceeds Fourteen U.S. Dollars ($14.00) (the “Second Share Price Trigger,” and, together with the First Share Price Trigger, each a “Share Price Trigger” and collectively, the “Share Price Triggers”) then, for each Share Price Trigger that is achieved, the holders of Company Interests as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall receive additional consideration (in accordance with their Pro Rata Share) from Parent (each, a “Holdback Release”) of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand (2,500,000) shares of Parent Common Stock released from escrow (which shall be equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and the like that occur after the Closing and prior to the relevant Holdback Release) (collectively, the “Ittella Holdback Shares”). For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, the holders of Company Interests shall have the right to receive no more than two Holdback Releases, a Holdback Release may only be achieved once with respect to any Share Price Trigger and the aggregate sum of all Holdback Releases, together with a Change of Control Holdback Release, issuable hereunder (assuming both Share Price Triggers are achieved and/or a Change of Control occurs during the Holdback Period), shall be a maximum of 5,000,000 shares of Parent Common Stock (which shall be equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and the like that occur after the Closing and prior to the relevant Holdback Release).

(b) If, during the Holdback Period, there is a Change of Control, then any Holdback Release that has not previously been released from escrow to the Holder Representative (whether or not previously earned) shall be deemed earned (and the applicable Share Price Trigger achieved, as applicable) and due by Parent to the Holder Representative (for further delivery to the Pre-Closing Holders) upon such Change of Control (a “Change of Control Holdback Release.” For purposes hereof, “Change of Control” means the occurrence, in a single transaction or as the result of a series of related transactions, of one or more of the following events: (i) a merger, consolidation, reorganization or similar business combination transaction involving Parent in which the holders of all of the outstanding Equity Interests in Parent immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction do not directly or indirectly (including through Affiliates) own beneficially or of record immediately upon the consummation of such transaction outstanding Equity Interests that represent a majority of the combined outstanding voting securities of the surviving entity in such transaction or of a parent of the surviving entity in such transaction; (ii) a transaction (or series of related transactions) in which a majority of Parent’s voting securities are transferred to any Person, or any two or more Persons acting as a group, and all Affiliates of such Person or Persons (each, a “Group”), that were not directly or indirectly (including through Affiliates), beneficially or of record, equityholders of Parent prior to the consummation of such transactions (other than as a result of a sale of Equity Interests in a secondary transaction by any single Pre-Closing Holder that is not otherwise approved by the disinterested independent directors of the board of directors of Parent); or (iii) the consummation of the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Parent and its Subsidiaries (including the Company), taken as a whole, to any Group, other than such a sale to a Group in which the equityholders of Parent, directly or indirectly (including through Affiliates), beneficially or of record, own a majority of the combined voting securities.

Annex A-1-10

(c) If, during the Holdback Period, there is a final determination in accordance with this Section 3.7 that the holders of Company Interests are entitled to receive a Holdback Release or Change of Control Holdback Release, then Parent and the Holder Representative shall jointly direct the Escrow Agent to release from Escrow a number of shares equal to such Holdback Release within ten (10) Business Days following the date on which the applicable Price Trigger was met or exceeded, or a Change of Control occurred, as applicable.

(d) Any Ittella Holdback Shares that have not been released during the Holdback Period pursuant to this Section 3.7 within five (5) Business Days following the date that it is finally determined that the holders of Company Interests are not entitled to or eligible to receive any further Holdback Releases or a Change of Control Holdback Release under this Agreement, Parent and the Holder Representative shall jointly direct the Escrow Agent to release from escrow to Parent for immediately cancellation all such Ittella Holdback Shares that have not been released.

(e) Any Ittella Holdback Shares released from escrow pursuant to this Section 3.7 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration for federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes except as otherwise required by Law.

3.8 Sponsor Earnout Shares.

(a) In accordance with the Sponsor Earnout Letter entered into on or about the date hereof by and among the Sponsor, the Parent, the Company and the Holder Representative in the form attached as Exhibit J (the “Sponsor Earnout Letter”), the Sponsor has agreed that effective upon the Closing, the Sponsor will subject 2,500,000 shares of Parent Common Stock owned by the Sponsor (the “Sponsor Earnout Shares”) to potential forfeiture if the Share Price Triggers are not achieved by the Parent pursuant to Section 3.7, with such Sponsor Earnout Shares vesting pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.8. Certificates representing the Sponsor Earnout Shares shall bear a legend referencing that they are subject to forfeiture pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. In addition, any transfer agent for Parent Common Stock will be given appropriate stop transfer orders that will be applicable until the Sponsor Earnout Shares are vested.

(b) Until all of the Sponsor Earnout Shares have become fully vested, fifty percent (50%) of the Sponsor Earnout Shares shall become fully vested and no longer subject to forfeiture upon each date of final determination pursuant to Section 3.8(a) that (i) the First Share Price Trigger has been achieved and (ii) the Second Share Price Trigger has been achieved, in each case, that the applicable Holdback Releases has become required to be issued as a result thereof. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, no more than fifty percent (50%) of the Sponsor Earnout Shares shall become fully vested for each Share Price Trigger that has been achieved. In the event of a Change of Control, all unvested Sponsor Earnout Shares shall immediately vest and no longer be subject to forfeiture upon such Change of Control.

(c) Any Sponsor Earnout Shares that have not vested pursuant to this Section 3.8 on or prior to the date that it is finally determined that the holders of Company Interests are not entitled to or eligible to receive any further Holdback Releases under this Agreement, will be forfeited by the Sponsor after such date, and returned to Parent for immediate cancellation.

(c) The Parties acknowledge that, as required by the Company, in the Sponsor Earnout Letter, Sponsor has waived, on behalf of itself and its members and Affiliates, effective upon and conditioned upon the Closing, any rights that it has to conversion adjustments under Section 4.3(b)(ii) of Parent’s Certificate of Incorporation and any other preemptive or participation rights that Sponsor and/or its members or Affiliates may have with respect to Sponsor’s Organizational Documents.

Without limitation of the foregoing, if any such Indemnified Person is or becomes involved, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, trustee, general partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any Parent Party, in any action, proceeding or investigation in connection with any matter related to such Person’s services to a Parent Party, including the Transaction, occurring prior to, on or after the Effective Time, from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall pay, within ten (10) days after the receipt by Parent of a statement or statements requesting advances thereof from time to time, such Indemnified Person’s reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation and preparation to prosecute or defend) incurred in connection therewith. Parent shall pay, within thirty (30) days after any request for advancement, all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, which may be incurred by any Indemnified Person in enforcing this Section 6.10 subject to Parent’s receipt of an undertaking by such Indemnified Person to return such advancement if such Indemnified Person is ultimately determined to not be entitled to indemnification, or to be defended or held harmless, hereunder or otherwise. From and after the Effective Time, Parent agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless to the extent set forth as of the date hereof in the Organizational Documents of the Company or its applicable Subsidiary all Company Indemnified Persons with respect to all acts and omissions arising out of such individuals’ services as officers, directors, employees or agents of the Company and its Subsidiaries or as trustees or fiduciaries of any plan for the benefit of employees of such Persons, occurring prior to the Effective Time, including the execution of, and the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, the obligations of Parent contained in this Section 6.10 shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Parent Parties and the Surviving Subsidiary. If Parent or any of its respective successors or assigns, (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person, or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any Person, then, and in each case, appropriate provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent are bound by the indemnification and other obligations set forth in this Section 6.10.

(e) The obligations of Parent under this Section 6.10 shall survive the Effective Time and the Effective Time and shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to affect adversely any Indemnified Person to whom this Section 6.10 applies without the written consent of such affected Indemnified Person (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnified Persons to whom this Section 6.10 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.10, each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 6.10). It is the intent that with respect to all advancement, reimbursement and indemnification obligations under this Section 6.10, that Parent shall be the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to Indemnified Persons under this Agreement are primary and any obligation of any other Person to provide advancement or indemnification for the same losses incurred by any Indemnified Person are secondary).

6.11 Proxy Statement.

(a) As promptly as practicable following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC, in preliminary form, the Proxy Statement and provide therein the holders of Parent Common Stock the opportunity to elect redemption of their Parent Common Stock in connection with the Parent Common Stockholders Meeting, as required by the Organizational Documents of Parent. Each of Parent and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) cause the Proxy Statement to comply in all material respects with the applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC; and (ii) promptly notify the other of, cooperate with each other with respect to and respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff.

The Proxy Statement will comply as to form and substance with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

(d) After all the comments received from the SEC have been cleared by the SEC staff and all information required to be contained in the Proxy Statement has been included therein by Parent and the Company, Parent shall file the Proxy Statement in definitive form with the SEC in accordance with the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act and mail the Proxy Statement to holders of record of Parent Common Stock, as of the record date to be established by the board of directors of Parent. Each of the Company and Parent shall furnish all information concerning such Party and its Affiliates to the other Party, and provide such other assistance, as may be reasonably requested in connection with the preparation, filing and distribution of the Proxy Statement, and the Proxy Statement shall include all information reasonably requested by such other Party to be included therein. Parent shall promptly notify the Company upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC or any request from the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement and shall provide the Company with copies of all correspondence between it and its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand.

Parent shall not file any such documents with the SEC (including response to any comments from the SEC with respect thereto) without the prior written consent (e-mail is sufficient) of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Parent will advise the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof, of (i) if the preliminary Proxy Statement is reviewed by the SEC, receipt of oral or written notification of the completion of the review by the SEC, (ii) the filing of any supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement, (iii) any request by the SEC for amendment of the Proxy Statement, (iv) any comments from the SEC relating to the Proxy Statement and responses thereto (whether written or oral), or (viii) requests by the SEC for additional information. Parent shall promptly respond to any SEC comments on the Proxy Statement and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Proxy Statement cleared by the SEC under the Exchange Act as soon after filing as practicable; provided, that prior to responding to any comments or material requests from the SEC, Parent will make available to the Company drafts of any such response and provide the Company with a reasonable opportunity to comment on such drafts (including the proposed final version of such document or response).

(f) Each of Parent and the Company shall ensure that none of the information supplied by or on its behalf for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement will, as of the date the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) is first mailed to the Parent Stockholders, at the time of the Parent Common Stockholders Meeting, or at the Effective Time, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.  If at any time prior to the Parent Common Stockholders Meeting there shall be discovered any information that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement so that the Proxy Statement would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, Parent shall promptly transmit to its stockholders an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement containing such information. If, at any time prior to the Effective Time, the Company discovers any information, event or circumstance relating to the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors or employees that

Annex A-1-43

should be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to the Proxy Statement so that the Proxy Statement would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, then the Company shall promptly inform Parent of such information, event or circumstance and shall promptly provide all information required for Parent to transmit to the holders of its capital stock an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement containing such information.

(g) Subject to compliance by the Company with its obligations under this Section 6.11 and provision by the Company on a timely basis of such information that may be required in order for Parent to comply with this Section 6.11(g), Parent shall make all necessary filings with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and applicable “blue sky” Laws and any rules and regulations thereunder.

(h) The Company shall promptly provide Parent with all information (including applicable financial statements prepared in accordance with Regulation S-X of the SEC to the extent required by the applicable forms of the Proxy Statement) concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries reasonably requested by Parent for inclusion in the Proxy Statement and any amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement (if any). The Company shall cause the officers and employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries to be reasonably available to Parent and its counsel in connection with the drafting of the Proxy Statement and responding in a timely manner to comments on the Proxy Statement from the SEC.

Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the approval of the Transaction Proposals, including by soliciting proxies as promptly as practicable in accordance with applicable Law and its Organizational Documents for the purpose of approving the Transaction Proposals; provided, that the foregoing shall not in any event preclude a Change in Recommendation to the extent permitted by this Section 6.12. Parent shall, through its board of directors, recommend to its stockholders that they vote in favor of the Transaction Proposals (the “Parent Board Recommendation”) and Parent shall include the Parent Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement. The board of directors of Parent shall not (and no committee or subgroup thereof shall) change, withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify, or publicly propose to change, withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify, the Parent Board Recommendation (a “Change in Recommendation”); provided, that the board of directors may make a Change in Recommendation if it determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and/or financial advisors, that a failure to make a Change in Recommendation would reasonably be expected to constitute a breach by the board of directors of its fiduciary obligations to Parent’s stockholders under applicable Law; provided, however, that the board of directors of Parent may not make such Change in Recommendation unless (1) the board of directors of Parent has provided prior written notice to the Company (a “Parent Recommendation Change Notice”) that it is prepared to effect a Change in Recommendation at least five (5) Business Days prior to taking such action, which notice shall specify the basis for such Change in Recommendation, (2) during the five (5) Business Day period after delivery of the Parent Recommendation Change Notice, the Company may propose to Parent any revisions to this Agreement that the Company proposes to make and Parent will engage in good faith discussions with the Company regarding such proposal(s), (3) at the end of such five (5) Business Day period and taking into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement committed to in writing by the Company, the board of directors of the Parent determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel and/or a financial advisor) that the failure to make such a Change Recommendation would reasonably be expected to constitute a breach by the board of directors of its fiduciary duties to Parent’s stockholders under applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Parent shall be entitled to postpone or adjourn

Annex A-1-44

the Parent Common Stockholders Meeting on one or more occasions (a) to ensure that any supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement that the board of directors of Parent has determined in good faith is required by applicable Law is disclosed to Parent’s stockholders and for such supplement or amendment to be promptly disseminated to the Parent’s stockholders prior to the Parent Common Stockholders Meeting, (b) if, as of the time for which the Parent Common Stockholders Meeting is scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement), there are insufficient shares of Parent Common Stock (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business to be conducted at the Parent Common Stockholders Meeting, or (c) by up to ten (10) Business Days in order to solicit additional proxies from stockholders in favor of the adoption of the Transaction Proposals; provided, that in the event of a postponement or adjournment pursuant to clauses (a) or (b) above, the Parent Common Stockholders Meeting shall be reconvened as promptly as practicable following such time as the matters described in such clauses have been resolved, and in no event shall the Parent Common Stockholders Meeting be reconvened on a date that is later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Termination Date.

The Company shall give notice of any Acquisition Proposal to Parent as soon as practicable following its awareness thereof. For purposes of this Agreement, “Acquisition Proposal” means (A) with respect to the Company, any contract, proposal, offer or indication of interest in any form, written or oral, relating to any transaction or series of related transactions (other than transactions with the Parent Parties) involving any acquisition, merger, amalgamation, share exchange, recapitalization, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution involving the acquisition of all or any material portion of the Company or its businesses or assets or any material portion of the Company’s capital stock or other equity interests and (B) with respect to the Parent and its Affiliates, a transaction (other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) concerning a business combination or other acquisition or merger by the Parent.

To the extent required by the DGCL and the Company Certificate, the Company shall promptly (and, in any event, within fifteen (15) Business Days of the date of the Written Consent) deliver to any Pre-Closing Holder who has not executed the Written Consent a notice of the taking of the actions described in the Written Consent (and, prior to the dissemination thereof, shall provide Parent a copy three (3) days in advance of dissemination thereof and shall consider in good faith any comments made by Parent with respect thereto).

8.2 Effect of Termination.

The provisions of Section 8.2, Article IX and Article X, and the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Article IX.
HOLDER REPRESENTATIVE

9.1 Designation and Replacement of Holder Representative. The parties have agreed that it is desirable to designate a representative to act on behalf of holders of the Company Interests, as specified herein (the “Holder Representative”). The parties have designated Salvatore Galletti as the initial Holder Representative, and approval of this Agreement by the holders of Company Interests shall constitute ratification and approval of such designation. The Holder Representative may resign at any time, and the Holder Representative may be removed by the vote of Persons that collectively constituted the Requisite Company Shareholders as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (or, in the case of a termination of this Agreement, as of such termination). If a Holder Representative has resigned or been removed, a new Holder Representative shall be appointed by a vote of Pre-Closing Holders constituting the Requisite Company Shareholders as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, such appointment to become effective upon the written acceptance thereof by the new Holder Representative. The designation of any Person as the Holder Representative is and shall be coupled with an interest, and, except as set forth in this Article IX, such designation is irrevocable and shall not be affected by the death, incapacity, illness, bankruptcy, dissolution or other inability to act of any of the holders of Company Interests.

9.2 Reserve. In order to cover expenses of the Holder Representative, at Closing a reserve shall be established (the “Reserve”) with the Holder Representative Expense Amount paid to the Holder Representative at Closing. The amount of the Reserve shall be increased or decreased based upon interest earned thereon (if applicable) and distributions made therefrom, or other amounts received or held by the Holder Representative. The Reserve may be held or disbursed by the Holder Representative in his discretion to cover any such expenses that may arise in connection with this Agreement for payment after the Closing Date.

9.3 Authority and Rights of the Holder Representative; Limitations on Liability. The Holder Representative shall have such powers and authority as are necessary to carry out the functions assigned to it under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Holder Representative shall have no obligation to act, except as expressly provided herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Holder Representative shall have full power, authority and discretion to (i) retain counsel, experts and other agents (any such representatives so retained, the “Retained Agents”) and to incur such fees, costs and expenses as the Holder Representative deems to be necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and each of the documents to be executed in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; (ii) after the Closing, negotiate and enter into amendments to this Agreement and the Holder Escrow Agreement for and on behalf of the Pre-Closing Holders; (iii) make decisions with respect to the determination of the calculations set forth in the Closing Statement; and (iv) enter into any settlement or submitting any dispute relating to the Closing Statement. All actions taken by the Holder Representative under this Agreement shall be binding upon the Pre-Closing Holders and their successors as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by each of them. The Holder Representative shall have no liability to any Pre-Closing Holder with respect to actions taken or omitted to be taken in its capacity as the Holder Representative. In the absence of bad faith by the Holder Representative, the Holder Representative shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the opinions and advice of any Retained Agents; and the fact that any act was taken or omitted to be taken pursuant to the advice of counsel will be conclusive evidence of good faith. The Holder Representative shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Reserve for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances (including fees and disbursements of its counsel, experts and other agents and consultants) incurred by the Holder Representative in such capacity, and shall be entitled to indemnification

Annex A-1-50

from the Pre-Closing Holders against any loss, liability or expenses arising out of actions taken or omitted to be taken in its capacity as the Holder Representative (except for those arising out of the Holder Representative’s bad faith), including the costs and expenses of investigation and defense of claims. If the Holder Representative determines, in his sole and absolute discretion, that the Reserve exceeds the aggregate amount of fees, costs, expenses and Taxes incurred, or that may in the future be incurred, by the Holder Representative in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and each of the documents to be executed in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, the Holder Representative shall pay such amounts to the Pre-Closing Holders as though such amounts were paid pursuant to the terms of the Company Articles as additional Merger Consideration. The Parent Parties shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the instructions and decisions of the Holder Representative as to any actions, consents, approvals, agreements and decisions required or permitted to be taken, given or made by the Holder Representative hereunder or on any other matter which the Holder Representative reasonably asserts the authority to represent the Pre-Closing Holders in respect of, and no Pre-Closing Holder shall have any cause of action against any Parent Parties to the extent that any Parent Party relied upon the instructions or decisions of the Holder Representative. For the avoidance of doubt, (A) there can be no assurances that any of the Reserve will be paid or disbursed to the Pre-Closing Holders, and (B) no Pre-Closing Holder shall be entitled to receive any interest on the Reserve.

Article X.

10.6 Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of Laws of another jurisdiction.

Certain information set forth in the Schedules is included solely for informational purposes and may not be required to be disclosed pursuant to this Agreement. The disclosure of any information shall not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgment that such information is required to be disclosed in connection with the representations and warranties made in this Agreement, nor shall such information be deemed to establish a standard of materiality.

10.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Schedules and Exhibits to this Agreement), the Transaction Agreements and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the parties relating to the transactions contemplated hereby and supersede any other agreements, whether written or oral, that may have been made or entered into by or among any of the parties hereto or any of their respective Subsidiaries relating to the transactions contemplated hereby.

This Agreement may be amended or modified in whole or in part, only by a duly authorized agreement in writing executed in the same manner as this Agreement and which makes reference to this Agreement. No waiver by any of the Parties (i) shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and executed by the party sought to be charged with such waiver (and only to the extent of such waiver), or (ii) of any default, misrepresentation or breach of representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation or breach or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.

The Parties further agree that if any provision contained herein is, to any extent, held invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the Laws governing this Agreement, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law and, to the extent necessary, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any provision contained herein that is held invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision giving effect to the intent of the Parties.

10.12 Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) Any Action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be brought in the Delaware Chancery Court (or, if the Delaware Chancery Court shall be unavailable, any other court of the State of Delaware or, in the case of claims to which the federal courts have subject matter jurisdiction, any federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware), and, in each case, appellate courts therefrom, and each of the Parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such Action, waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction, venue or to convenience of forum, agrees that all claims in respect of such Action shall be heard and determined only in any such court, and agrees not to bring any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any other court.

It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement, without proof of actual damages or otherwise, in addition to any other remedy to which any party is entitled at Law or in equity. Each Party shall waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. The Parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy.

10.14 Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may only be brought against, the entities that are expressly named as Parties and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such Party. Except to the extent a named Party to this Agreement (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such named Party in this Agreement and not otherwise), no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, equityholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor, representative or assignee of any of the foregoing shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of any one or more of the Parties under this Agreement or of or for any claim based on, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

10.15 Trust Account Waiver. The Company acknowledges that, as described in the Prospectus dated August 2, 2018, Parent established the Trust Account for the benefit of its public stockholders. The Company acknowledges that, prior to the Closing and the redemption of any Parent Common Stock validly tendered for redemption pursuant to Parent’s Organizational Documents, it does not have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account, including, without limitation, any claim for indemnification, and hereby waives any claim for monies in the Trust Account it may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby or any other transactions contemplated amongst the Company, Parent and Merger Sub prior to the Closing and the redemption of any Parent Common Stock validly tendered for redemption pursuant to Parent’s Organizational Documents and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a dispute arises between or among Parent, the Surviving Subsidiary or their respective Subsidiaries and a Person other than the Surviving Subsidiary after the Closing, the Surviving Subsidiary may assert the attorney/client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by Company Counsel to such Person.

(b) Each Pre-Closing Holder, the Holder Representative, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries and each Parent Party agrees that, as to all communications between or among Winston & Strawn LLP (“WS”) and any Parent Party that relate in any way to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, from and after the Closing, the attorney/client privilege and the expectation of the client confidence belongs, unless otherwise consented to by the Monitoring Committee, exclusively to the Monitoring Committee and may be controlled by the Monitoring Committee and, unless otherwise consented to by the Monitoring Committee, shall not pass to or be claimed by any party or Person.

References to the “Company” in this Agreement shall refer to Parent after giving effect to the consummation of the Merger (as defined below) and each of Parent’s direct or indirect Subsidiaries (including Ittella) and any of their respective successors-in-interest or joint ventures (if any).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, this Agreement is being entered into in connection with that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 11, 2020 (the “Signing Date”) (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance therewith, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Parent, Sprout Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), Myjojo, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its subsidiaries, “Ittella”) and the Holder Representative. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.

WHEREAS, Parent (i) is a publicly listed special purpose acquisition vehicle, which has been established for the purpose of effecting an initial business combination, and (ii) has no material operating assets (other than those of a kind customarily held by a special purpose acquisition vehicle).

WHEREAS, pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions contained in, the Merger Agreement, Parent, Merger Sub, Ittella and the Holder Representative will enter into a business combination transaction pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with Ittella continuing as the Surviving Subsidiary.

WHEREAS, as a result of the Merger, (i) the stockholders of Ittella that existed a moment in time prior to the Merger, will have their equity interests in Ittella cancelled and converted into the right to receive the consideration set forth in the Merger Agreement, and (ii) Ittella (as the Surviving Subsidiary) will be a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent.

WHEREAS, the Restricted Party acknowledges and agrees that (i) this Agreement is being entered into as part of the Merger Agreement and the Merger, (ii) the covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement are a material inducement to, and a condition precedent of, Parent’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement and consummate the Merger, (iii) the Restricted Party shall receive substantial direct and indirect benefits by the consummation of the Merger (including the Restricted Party’s portion of the consideration received by such Restricted Party in connection with the Merger), and (iv) Parent and its Affiliates would not obtain the benefit of the bargain set forth in the Merger Agreement as specifically negotiated by the parties thereto if the Restricted Party breached the provisions of this Agreement.

WHEREAS, as a condition to the consummation of the Merger, the Restricted Party has agreed to enter into this Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the mutual promises and covenants of the Parties set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Restricted Party and Parent, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

Annex A-1-74

AGREEMENT

1.     Covenants of the Restricted Party.

1.1. Restrictive Covenants.

1.1.1. Non-Competition. During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date, the Restricted Party shall not, and shall cause each of his, her or its controlled Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, own any interest in, control, manage, operate, participate in, develop products for, advise or consult with or render services for (as a director, officer, employee, agent, broker, partner or contractor), or engage in activities or businesses, or establish any new businesses, within North America or Europe (the “Territory”) any business that is competitive with the business operated by the Company as of the Signing Date or as of immediately prior to the Closing, including any activities or business (i) engaged in the production, marketing or distribution of (a) plant-based meals or dishes, (b) value-added fruit and vegetables, (c) plant- and/or dairy-based pizza toppings, or (d) plant-based novelty food products, or (ii) that offers any product or service in the same line of business or product or service category as any product or service offered by the Company or in development by the Company (collectively, the “Business”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 1.1.1 shall be deemed not breached solely as a result of the ownership by the Restricted Party or any of his, her or its Affiliates of less than an aggregate of 1% of any class of stock that is subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is listed on a national securities exchange. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement shall not restrict the Restricted Party from performing his or her duties as an officer, director or employee of Parent, its successors-in-interest or their respective Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Restricted Party shall in no way be restricted or prohibited from continuing to hold his passive investment in Good Karma Foods (provided, that, while he may take action to maintain his percentage ownership of Good Karma Foods as of the date hereof, he may not take any action the effect of which would result in an increase in his percentage ownership of Good Karma Foods as of the date hereof unless previously approved by the Monitoring Committee of the Company, which the Company agrees will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed). For the sake of clarity, any increase in Restricted Party’s percentage ownership of Good Karma Foods through the actions of others (such as redemptions, stock splits, or the like) shall not be governed by this restriction.

1.1.2. Non-Solicitation of Business Relations. During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date, the Restricted Party shall not, and shall cause each of his, her or its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, (i) interfere with the relationship between the Company and any Material Business Relationship, (ii) solicit, contact, induce or attempt to induce (or assist any other Person in soliciting, contacting, inducing or attempting to induce), any Material Business Relationship to terminate its relationship with the Company, cease doing business with the Company or terminate or otherwise adversely modify its relationship with the Company, or (iii) acquire or attempt to acquire an interest in any Person or business in which, prior to the Closing, Ittella had either (a) entertained discussions, (b) requested or received information relating to the acquisition of such Person or business, (c) identified to Parent that such Person or business was a potential acquisition target of Ittella, or (d) otherwise contemplated the acquisition of such Person or business. “Material Business Relationship” means any (x) customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, franchisee of the Company as of the Closing or at any time in the twelve (12) month period prior to the Closing, or (y) any other Person with whom the Company, as of the Closing or at any time in the twelve (12) month period prior to the Closing, had a business relation (provided, that any such Person contemplated by this sub-clause (y)) is, was or was likely to become, material to the Company)

1.1.3. Non-Solicitation of Personnel; No Hire. During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date, the Restricted Party shall not, and shall cause each of his, her or its Affiliates not to, and shall not assist any other Person to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, recruit or hire any employee, independent contractor or consultant of the Company (“Company Employee”), or any Person who was an employee, independent contractor or consultant of the Company at any time during the 12-month period before the Closing, and (ii) solicit or encourage any Company Employee to leave the employment of Parent; provided, however, that, without limiting the restrictions against hiring, the provisions of this Section 1.1.3 shall not prevent the Restricted Party or any of his, her or its Affiliates (not including the Company) from making a general solicitation for employment that are not specifically targeted at the Company Employees or other employees of Parent.

Annex A-1-75

1.1.4. Non-Disparagement. From and after the date hereof, the Restricted Party shall not, and shall cause each of his, her or its Affiliates not to, make any negative, derogatory or disparaging statements or communications, either orally or in writing, regarding the Business, the Company and its Affiliates, or any director, manager, officer, agent, representative or direct or indirect equity holder of the Company or its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 1.1.4 shall prevent the Restricted Party from (i) performing his or her duties as an officer, director or employee of Parent, its successors-in-interest or their respective Subsidiaries, or (ii) making any truthful statement to the extent, but only to the extent, (a) necessary with respect to any Action involving this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the enforcement of this Agreement, in the forum in which such Action properly takes place, or (b) required by Law or Governmental Authority.

1.2 Remedies.

1.2.1 During the duration of any breach of Section 1.1 by the Restricted Party, the restricted period set forth herein shall be tolled.

1.2.2 The Restricted Party acknowledges and agrees that (i) the covenants and agreements contained in Section 1.1 (collectively the “Non-Competition and Related Covenants”) relate to matters that are of a special, unique and extraordinary value; (ii) the Company has one or more legitimate business interest justifying enforcement in full of the Non-Competition and Related Covenants, including for the protection of the goodwill of the business acquired by Parent pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and the Non-Competition and Related Covenants are reasonable and narrowly tailored to protect the compelling interests of Parent, the Company and the Business; (iii) a breach by the Restricted Party of any of the Non-Competition and Related Covenants will result in irreparable harm and damages that cannot be adequately compensated by a monetary award and, accordingly, the Company will be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent or redress any such breach (without posting a bond or other security); (iv) pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Restricted Party will receive valuable consideration (including, as applicable, significant benefits, equity in Parent, cash payments and other valuable consideration), both directly or indirectly, from Parent in connection with the Merger; and (v) the Non-Competition and Related Covenants are intended to comply with the Laws of all jurisdictions that might be deemed to be applicable hereto and which restrict or otherwise limit the enforceability of a Contract that restrains a Person from engaging in a lawful profession, trade or business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the restrictions contained in Section 1.1 shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of their extending for too great a period of time or over too great a geographical area of by reason of their being too extensive in any other respect, Section 1.1 shall be modified to be effective for the maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable and over the maximum geographical area as to which it may be enforceable and to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which it may be enforceable. Parent and the Restricted Party hereby consent and agree to any such reformation of the restrictions to the maximum of enforceability as determined by any court of competent jurisdiction.

2.     Miscellaneous.

2.1. Severability. Subject to and without limiting the application of Section 1.2, in the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other instrument referred to in this Agreement, shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, then to the maximum extent permitted by Law, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement or any other such instrument. Subject to and without limiting the application of Section 1.2, upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

2.2. Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of Laws of another jurisdiction.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to affect the right of any Party to serve process in any manner permitted by Law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any other party in any other jurisdiction, in each case, to enforce judgments obtained in any Action brought pursuant to this Section 2.3.1.

2.3.2. Each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any Action arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any Party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such Party would not, in the event of any Action, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver, and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other Party hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waiver and certifications in this Section 2.3.2.

A. In recognition and anticipation that (i) certain directors, principals, officers, employees and/or other representatives of the Sponsor and/or its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “Forum Parties”) and each of their Affiliates (as defined in this Article VII) may serve as directors, officers or agents of the Corporation, (ii) the Forum Parties and their Affiliates may now engage and may continue to engage in the same or similar activities or related lines of business as those in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, may engage or propose to engage and/or other business activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, directly or indirectly, may engage or propose to engage, and (iii) members of the Board of Directors who are not employees of the Corporation and each of their respective Affiliates (the Persons identified in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), collectively, the “Identified Persons” and each, an “Identified Person”) may now engage and may continue to engage in the same or similar activities or related lines of business as those in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, may engage and/or other business activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, directly or indirectly, may engage or propose to engage, the provisions of this Article VII are set forth to regulate and define the conduct of certain affairs of the Corporation with respect to certain classes or categories of business opportunities as they may involve any of the Identified Persons and the powers, rights, duties and liabilities of the Corporation and its directors, officers and stockholders in connection therewith. In furtherance of the foregoing, no Identified Person shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (A) have any duty to refrain from directly or indirectly (i) engaging in the same or similar business activities or lines of business in which the Corporation or any of its Affiliates now engages or proposes to engage or (ii) otherwise competing with the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no Identified Person shall be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders or to any Affiliate of the Corporation for breach of any fiduciary duty solely by reason of the fact that such Identified Person engages in any such activities; and (B) the Corporation hereby renounces any interest or expectancy in, or right to be offered an opportunity to participate in, any business opportunity that may be a corporate opportunity for an Identified Person and the Corporation or any of its Affiliates.

C. In addition to and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article VII, a potential corporate opportunity shall not be deemed to be a corporate opportunity for the Corporation if it is a business opportunity that (i) the Corporation is neither financially or legally able, nor contractually permitted to undertake, (ii) from its nature, is not in the line of the Corporation’s business or is of no practical advantage to the Corporation or (iii) is one in which the Corporation has no interest or reasonable expectancy.

Annex A-1-82

D. For purposes of this Article VII, “Affiliate” means (i) in respect of any Forum Party, any Person that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by a Forum Party, controls a Forum Party or is under common control with a Forum Party and includes any principal, member, director, partner, stockholder, officer, employee or other representative of any of the foregoing (other than the Corporation and any entity that is controlled by the Corporation), (ii) in respect of any other Identified Person, any Person that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by such Identified Person (other than the Corporation and any entity that is controlled by the Corporation) and (iii) in respect of the Corporation, any Person that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by the Corporation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a presumption of control shall not apply where such Person holds voting stock, in good faith and not for the purpose of circumventing this Section, as an agent, bank, broker, nominee, custodian or trustee for one or more owners who do not individually or as a group have control of such entity.

Section 1. Registered Office. The registered office of the corporation in the State of Delaware shall be located at 251 Little Falls Drive, in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, Delaware 19808. The name of its registered agent at such address is Corporation Service Company. The registered office and/or registered agent of the corporation may be changed from time to time by action of the board of directors.

Section 2. Other Offices. The corporation may also have offices at such other places, both within and without the State of Delaware, as the board of directors may from time to time determine or the business of the corporation may require.

ARTICLE II
MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

Section 1. Meetings Generally. At least one meeting of the stockholders shall be held each year for the purpose of electing directors and conducting any proper business as may come before the meeting. The date, time and place of such meeting shall be determined by the highest ranking officer then in office (the “Ranking Officer”); provided, however, that if the Ranking Officer does not act, the board of directors shall determine the date, time and place, if any, and/or the means of remote communication, of such meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no annual meeting of stockholders need be held if not required by the corporation’s certificate of incorporation or by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Section 2. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders may be called for any purpose and may be held at such time and place, within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be stated in a written notice of meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice thereof. Except as otherwise provided in the corporation’s certificate of incorporation, such meetings may be called at any time by the board of directors or the Ranking Officer and shall be called by the Ranking Officer upon the written request of holders of shares entitled to cast not less than a majority of the votes at the meeting. Such written request shall state the purpose or purposes of the meeting and shall be delivered to the Ranking Officer. Upon such written request, the Ranking Officer shall fix a date, time and place, if any, and/or remote communication, for such meeting within two days of the date requested for such meeting; provided, however, that if the Ranking Officer does not act, the board of directors shall fix a date, time and place, if any, and/or remote communication for such meeting.

Section 3. Place of Meetings. The board of directors may designate any place, either within or without the State of Delaware, and/or by means of remote communication, as the place of meeting for any regular meeting or for any special meeting called by the board of directors. If no designation is made, or if a special meeting be otherwise called, the place of meeting shall be the principal executive office of the corporation.

Section 4. Notice. Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take action at a meeting, written or printed notice stating the place, if any, date, time, means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and, in the case of special meetings, the purpose or purposes, of such meeting, shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting. All such notices shall be delivered, either personally, by mail, by facsimile or by electronic mail, by or at the direction of the board of directors, the president or the secretary, and such notice shall be deemed to be delivered (i) upon confirmation of receipt if sent by facsimile, electronic mail or personal delivery or (ii) three (3) days after being deposited in the United States mail, postage

Annex A-1-86

prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at his, her or its address as the same appears on the records of the corporation. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

Section 5Stockholders List. The officer having charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of the stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting arranged in alphabetical order, showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, and/or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the corporation. If the corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting.

Section 6. Quorum. The holders of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote thereon, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders, except as otherwise provided by statute or by the corporation’s certificate of incorporation. If a quorum is not present, the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting, and entitled to vote at the meeting, may adjourn the meeting to another time and/or place. When a quorum is once present to commence a meeting of stockholders, it is not broken by the subsequent withdrawal of any stockholders or their proxies.

Section 7. Adjourned Meetings. When a meeting is adjourned to another time and place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

Section 8. Vote Required. When a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders, unless the question is one upon which by express provisions of an applicable law or of the corporation’s certificate of incorporation a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.

Section 9. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise provided by the Delaware General Corporation Law or by the corporation’s certificate of incorporation or any amendments thereto and subject to Section 3 of Article VI hereof, every stockholder shall at every meeting of the stockholders be entitled to one (1) vote in person or by proxy for each share of common stock held (or deemed held) by such stockholder (it being understood that certain other classes or series of capital stock may, pursuant to the corporation’s certificate of incorporation, be entitled to vote on as as-if converted to common stock basis).

Section 10. Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of the stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A proxy may be made irrevocable regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in the stock itself or an interest in the corporation generally. Any proxy is suspended when the person executing the proxy is present at a meeting of the stockholders and elects to vote, except that, when such proxy is coupled with an interest and the fact of the interest appears on the face of the proxy, the agent named in the proxy shall have all voting and other rights referred

Annex A-1-87

to in the proxy, notwithstanding the presence of the person executing the proxy. At each meeting of the stockholders, and before any voting commences, all proxies filed at or before the meeting shall be submitted to and examined by the secretary or a person designated by the secretary and no shares may be represented or voted under a proxy that has been found to be invalid or irregular.

Section 11. Action by Written Consent. Unless otherwise provided in the corporation’s certificate of incorporation, any action required to be taken at any regular or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation, or any action which may be taken at any regular or special meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken and bearing the dates of signature of the stockholders who signed the consent or consents, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the state of Delaware, or the corporation’s principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book or books in which proceedings of meetings of the stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the corporation’s registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, by reputable overnight courier service, or by facsimile or electronic mail, with confirmation of receipt. All consents properly delivered in accordance with this section shall be deemed to be recorded when so delivered. No written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within sixty (60) days of the earliest dated consent delivered to the corporation as required by this section, written consents signed by the holders of a sufficient number of shares to take such corporate action are so recorded. Any action taken pursuant to such written consent or consents of the stockholders shall have the same force and effect as if taken by the stockholders at a meeting thereof.

Any copy, facsimile or other reliable reproduction of a consent in writing may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing for any and all purposes for which the original writing could be used; provided that such copy, facsimile or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing.

ARTICLE III
DIRECTORS

Section 1. General Power. The business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the board of directors.

Section 2. Number, Election and Term of Office. The number of directors which shall constitute the first board shall be two (2). The number of directors shall be subject to change by the vote of holders of a majority of the stock then entitled to vote at an election of directors. The directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the stock present in person or represented by proxy at a meeting of the stockholders and entitled to vote in the election of directors. The directors shall be elected in this manner at any meeting of the stockholders, except as provided in Section 4 of this Article III. Each director elected shall hold office until a successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal as hereinafter provided.

Section 3. Removal and Resignation. Any director or the entire board of directors may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors. Whenever the holders of any class or series are entitled to elect one or more directors by the provisions of the corporation’s certificate of incorporation, the provisions of this section shall apply, in respect to the removal without cause of a director or directors so elected, to the vote of the holders of the outstanding shares of that class or series and not to the vote of the outstanding shares as a whole. Any director may resign at any time upon notice given in writing or by electronic transmission to the corporation.

Section 4. Vacancies. Except as otherwise provided in the corporation’s certificate of incorporation, board vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors shall be filled in the same manner in which directors are elected pursuant to Section 2 of this Article III. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such vacancy shall automatically reduce the number of directors pro tanto, until such time as the holders of the class of common stock which was entitled to elect the director whose office is vacant shall have exercised their right to elect a director to fill such vacancy, whereupon the number of directors shall be automatically increased pro tanto. Each director so chosen shall hold office until a successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal as herein provided.

Annex A-1-88

Section 5. Meetings and Notice. Regular meetings of the board of directors may be held without notice at such time and at such place as shall from time to time be determined by resolution of the board or directors and promptly communicated to all directors then in the office. Special meetings of the board of directors may be called by or at the request of any director or the Ranking Officer on at least forty-eight (48) hours’ notice to each director, either personally, by telephone, by mail, or by facsimile or electronic mail.

Section 6. Quorum, Required Vote and Adjournment. Each director shall be entitled to one vote except as otherwise provided in the corporation’s certificate of incorporation. Directors then in office (and specifically excluding any vacancies) and holding a majority of the votes of all directors (or such greater number required by applicable law) shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The vote of directors holding a majority of votes present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the board of directors. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the board of directors, the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present.

Section 7. Committees. The board of directors may, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole board, designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the corporation, which to the extent provided in such resolution or these Amended and Restated Bylaws shall have and may exercise the powers of the board of directors in the management and affairs of the corporation except as otherwise limited by law. The board of directors may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. Such committee or committees shall have such name or names as may be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the board of directors. Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its meetings and report the same to the board of directors when required.

Section 8. Committee Rules. Each committee of the board of directors may fix its own rules of procedure and shall hold its meetings as provided by such rules, except as may otherwise be provided by a resolution of the board of directors designating such committee. Unless otherwise provided in such a resolution, the presence of at least a majority of the members of the committee shall be necessary to constitute a quorum. If a member and that member’s alternate, if alternates are designated by the board of directors as provided in Section 7 of this Article III, of such committee is or are absent or disqualified, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such member or members constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the board of directors to act at the meeting in place of any such absent or disqualified member.

Section 9. Communications Equipment. Members of the board of directors or any committee thereof may participate in and act at any meeting of such board or committee through the use of a conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in the meeting pursuant to this Section shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.

Section 10. Waiver of Notice and Presumption of Consent. Any member of the board of directors or any committee thereof who is present at a meeting shall be conclusively presumed to have waived notice of such meeting except, when such member attends for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Such member shall be conclusively presumed to have consented to any action taken unless his or her dissent shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless his or her written dissent to such action shall be filed with the person acting as the secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or shall be forwarded by registered mail to the secretary of the corporation immediately after the adjournment of the meeting. Such right to dissent shall not apply to any member who voted in favor of such action.

Section 11. Action by Written Consent. Unless otherwise restricted by the corporation’s certificate of incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the board of directors, or of any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if all members of the board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission, and the writing or writings or electronic transmission or transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the board or committee. Such filing shall be in paper form if the minutes are maintained in paper form and shall be in electronic form if the minutes are maintained in electronic form.

ARTICLE V
INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND OTHERS

Section 1. Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved (including involvement as a witness) in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the corporation or, while a director or officer of the corporation, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, manager, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director or officer or in any other capacity while serving as a director or officer, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may

Annex A-1-91

hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than permitted prior thereto), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, excise exercise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, manager, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 2 of this Article V with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the board of directors of the corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Section 1 of this Article V shall be a contract right and shall include the obligation of the corporation to pay the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition (an “advance of expenses”); provided, however, that, if and to the extent that the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, an advance of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director, manager or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the corporation of an undertaking (an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (a “final adjudication”) that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section 1 of this Article V or otherwise. The corporation may, by action of its board of directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the corporation with the same or lesser scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers. The corporation hereby acknowledges that certain directors and officers affiliated with institutional investors may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by such institutional investors or certain of their affiliates (collectively, the “Institutional Indemnitors”). The corporation hereby agrees (i) that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to the indemnitee are primary and any obligation of the Institutional Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by the indemnitee are secondary), (ii) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by the indemnitee in accordance with this Article V without regard to any rights the indemnitee may have against the Institutional Indemnitors and (iii) that it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Institutional Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Institutional Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The corporation further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Institutional Indemnitors on behalf of the indemnitee with respect to any claim for which the indemnitee has sought indemnification from the corporation shall affect the foregoing and the Institutional Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of the indemnitee against the corporation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the corporation shall not be required to provide any advance of expenses to a director or officer who is a party to an action, suit or proceeding brought by the corporation and approved by a majority of the board of directors that alleges willful misappropriation of corporate assets by such director or officer, disclosure of confidential information in violation of such director’s or officer’s fiduciary or contractual obligations to the corporation or any other willful and deliberate breach in bad faith of such director’s or officer’s duty to the corporation or its stockholders.

Section 2. Procedure for Indemnification. Any indemnification of a director or officer of the corporation or advance of expenses under Section 1 of this Article V shall be made promptly, and in any event within forty-five days (or, in the case of an advance of expenses, twenty days), upon the written request of the director or officer. If a determination by the corporation that the director or officer is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article V is required, and the corporation fails to respond within sixty days to a written request for indemnity, the corporation shall be deemed to have approved the request. If the corporation denies a written request for indemnification or advance of expenses, in whole or in part, or if payment in full pursuant to such request is not made within forty-five days (or, in the case of an advance of expenses, twenty days), the right to indemnification or advances as granted by this Article V shall be enforceable by the director or officer in any court of competent jurisdiction. Such person’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his or her right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be indemnified by the corporation. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for the advance of expenses where the undertaking required pursuant to Section 1 of this Article V, if any, has been tendered to the corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of such defense shall be on the corporation. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he

Annex A-1-92

or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. The procedure for indemnification of other employees and agents for whom indemnification is provided pursuant to Section 1 of this Article V shall be the same procedure set forth in this Section 2 of this Article V for directors or officers, unless otherwise set forth in the action of the board of directors providing indemnification for such employee or agent.

Section 3. Insurance. The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on its own behalf and on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, manager, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expenses, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Section 4. Subsidiaries. To the extent any indemnitee under Section 1 of this Article V is also entitled to indemnification from a subsidiary of the corporation, such indemnitee shall first look to such subsidiary for indemnification, and only after seeking indemnification from such subsidiary shall such indemnitee seek indemnification from the corporation.

Section 5. Reliance. Persons who, after the date of the adoption of this provision, become or remain directors or officers of the corporation or who, while a director or officer of the corporation, become or remain a director, manager, officer, employee or agent of a subsidiary, shall be conclusively presumed to have relied on the rights to indemnity, advance of expenses and other rights contained in this Article V in entering into or continuing such service. The rights to indemnification and to the advance of expenses conferred in this Article V shall apply to claims made against an indemnitee arising out of acts or omissions which occurred or occur both prior and subsequent to the adoption hereof.

Section 6. Non Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article V shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under the corporation’s certificate of incorporation or under any statute, by law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

Section 7. Merger or Consolidation. For purposes of this Article V, references to the “corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, manager, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this Article V with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he or she would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

ARTICLE VI
CERTIFICATES OF STOCK

Section 1. Form. Every holder of stock in the corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate, signed by the chief executive officer (or, in the absence of a chief executive officer, the president), the chief financial officer or a vice president and the secretary or an assistant secretary of the corporation, certifying the number of shares of a specific class or series owned by such holder in the corporation. If such a certificate is countersigned (1) by a transfer agent or an assistant transfer agent other than the corporation or its employee or (2) by a registrar, other than the corporation or its employee, the signature of any such chief executive officer (or, in the absence of a chief executive officer, the president), chief financial officer, vice president, secretary, or assistant secretary may be facsimiles. In case any officer or officers who have signed, or whose facsimile signature or signatures have been used on, any such certificate or certificates shall cease to be such officer or officers of the corporation whether because of death, resignation or otherwise before such certificate or certificates have been delivered by the corporation, such certificate or certificates may nevertheless be issued and delivered as though the person or persons who signed such certificate or certificates or whose facsimile signature or signatures have been used thereon had not ceased to be such officer or officers of

Annex A-1-93

the corporation. All certificates for shares shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified. The name of the person to whom the shares represented thereby are issued, with the number of shares and date of issue, shall be entered on the books of the corporation. Shares of stock of the corporation shall be transferred on the books of the corporation only by the holder of record thereof or by such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender to the corporation of the certificate or certificates for such shares endorsed by the appropriate person or persons, with such evidence of the authenticity of such endorsement, transfer, authorization, and other matters as the corporation may reasonably require, and accompanied by all necessary stock transfer stamps. In that event, it shall be the duty of the corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate or certificates, and record the transaction on its books. The board of directors may appoint a bank or trust company organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof to act as its transfer agent or registrar, or both in connection with the transfer of any class or series of securities of the corporation.

Section 2. Lost Certificates. The board of directors may direct a new certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates previously issued by the corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen, or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates, the board of directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his or her legal representative, to give the corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify the corporation against any claim that may be made against the corporation on account of the loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate.

Section 3. Fixing a Record Date for Stockholder Meetings. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the board of directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be the close of business on the next day preceding the day on which notice is given, or if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided that the board of directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

Section 4. Fixing a Record Date for Action by Written Consent. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors, and which date shall not be more than ten (10) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors. If no record date has been fixed by the board of directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the board of directors is required by statute, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the corporation’s registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested or by facsimile or electronic mail, with confirmation of receipt. If no record date has been fixed by the board of directors and prior action by the board of directors is required by statute, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

Section 5. Fixing a Record Date for Other Purposes. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment or any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purposes of any other lawful action, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

Annex A-1-94

Section 6. Registered Stockholders. Prior to the surrender to the corporation of the certificate or certificates for a share or shares of stock with a request to record the transfer of such share or shares, the corporation may treat the registered owner as the person entitled to receive dividends, to vote, to receive notifications, and otherwise to exercise all the rights and powers of an owner. The corporation shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof.

Section 7. Subscriptions for Stock. Unless otherwise provided for in the applicable subscription agreement, subscriptions for shares shall be paid in full at such time, or in such installments and at such times, as shall be determined by the board of directors. Any call made by the board of directors for payment on subscriptions shall be uniform as to all shares of the same class or as to all shares of the same series. In case of default in the payment of any installment or call when such payment is due, the corporation may proceed to collect the amount due in the same manner as any debt due the corporation.

ARTICLE VII
GENERAL PROVISIONS

Before payment of any dividend, there may be set aside out of any funds of the corporation available for dividends such sum or sums as the directors from time to time, in their absolute discretion, think proper as a reserve or reserves to meet contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for repairing or maintaining any property of the corporation, or any other purpose, and the directors may modify or abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created.

Section 2. Checks, Drafts or Orders. All checks, drafts, or other orders for the payment of money by or to the corporation and all notes and other evidences of indebtedness issued in the name of the corporation shall be signed by such officer(s) or agent(s) of the corporation, and in such manner, as shall be determined by resolution of the board of directors or a duly authorized committee thereof.

Section 3. Contracts.

The corporation may lend money to, or guarantee any obligation of, or otherwise assist any officer or other employee of the corporation or of its subsidiary, including any officer or employee who is a director of the corporation or its subsidiary, whenever, in the judgment of the directors, such loan, guaranty or assistance may reasonably be expected to benefit the corporation. The loan, guaranty or other assistance may be with or without interest, and may be unsecured, or secured in such manner as the board of directors shall approve, including, without limitation, a pledge of shares of stock of the corporation. Nothing in this section contained shall be deemed to deny, limit or restrict the powers of guaranty or warranty of the corporation at common law or under any statute.

Section 7. Voting Securities Owned By Corporation. Voting securities in any other corporation held by the corporation shall be voted by the president, any vice president, the chief financial officer or the secretary, unless the board of directors specifically confers authority to vote with respect thereto, which authority may be general or confined to specific instances, upon some other person or officer.

Annex A-1-95

records, and to make copies or extracts therefrom. A proper purpose shall mean any purpose reasonably related to such person’s interest as a stockholder. In every instance where an attorney or other agent shall be the person who seeks the right to inspection, the demand under oath shall be accompanied by a power of attorney or such other writing which authorizes the attorney or other agent to so act on behalf of the stockholder. The demand under oath shall be directed to the corporation at its registered office in the State of Delaware or at its principal place of business.

Section 9. Exclusive Jurisdiction. The Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum from (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director or officer of the corporation to the corporation arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or the corporation’s certificate of incorporation or Amended and Restated Bylaws or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the corporation governed by the internal affairs doctrine.

Section 10. Section Headings. Section headings in these Amended and Restated Bylaws are for convenience of reference only and shall not be given any substantive effect in limiting or otherwise construing any provision herein.

Section 11. Inconsistent Provisions.

The purpose of the Company is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which a corporation may be organized under the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”).

IV.

A. The Company is authorized to issue two classes of stock to be designated, respectively, “Common Stock” and “Preferred Stock.” The total number of shares which the Company is authorized to issue is 1,010,000,000 shares. 1,000,000,000 shares shall be Common Stock, each having a par value of one-hundredth of one cent ($0.0001). 10,000,000 shares shall be Preferred Stock, each having a par value of one-hundredth of one cent ($0.0001).

B. Effective immediately upon the filing and effectiveness of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Effective Time”), each share of the Company’s Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”), that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be reclassified, redesignated and changed into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”). Immediately following the conversion of such Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock, each share of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding shall, automatically and without further action by any stockholder, be reclassified, redesignated and changed into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock.

C. The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) is hereby expressly authorized to provide for the issue of all or any number of the shares of the Preferred Stock in one or more series, and to fix the number of shares and to determine or alter for each such series, such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designation, preferences, and relative, participating, optional, or other rights and such qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors providing for the issuance of such shares and as may be permitted by the DGCL.

In case the number of shares of any series shall be decreased in accordance with the foregoing sentence, the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status that they had prior to the

Annex A-1-98

adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series. The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the stock of the Company entitled to vote thereon, without a separate vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock, or of any series thereof, unless a vote of any such holders is required pursuant to the terms of any certificate of designation filed with respect to any series of Preferred Stock.

D. Each outstanding share of Common Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote on each matter properly submitted to the stockholders of the Company for their vote; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by law, holders of Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation filed with respect to any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together as a class with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon by law or pursuant to this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation filed with respect to any series of Preferred Stock).

For the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Company, and in further definition, limitation and regulation of the powers of the Company, of its directors and of its stockholders or any class thereof, as the case may be, it is further provided that the management of the business and the conduct of the affairs of the Company shall be vested in the Board of Directors. Subject to the applicable requirements of the Director Nomination Agreement, dated as of June 11, 2020 (as the same may be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Nomination Agreement”), the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be fixed exclusively by resolutions adopted by a majority of the authorized number of directors constituting the Board of Directors.

At the first annual meeting of stockholders following the initial classification of the Board of Directors, the term of office of the Class I directors shall expire and Class I directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At the second annual meeting of stockholders following such initial classification, the term of office of the Class II directors shall expire and Class II directors shall be elected for a full term of three years.

Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the director for which the vacancy was created or occurred and until such director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified.

B.

1. BYLAW AMENDMENTS. The Board of Directors is expressly empowered to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Company.

The stockholders shall also have power to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Company with, in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the Company required by law or by this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 85% of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class; provided, that, at any time when the Founder Parties beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than a majority of the total voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally at an election of directors, subject to any limitations imposed by applicable law, any such adoption, amendment or repeal may be undertaken by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 662/3% of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally at an election of directors.

2. BALLOTS. The directors of the Company need not be elected by written ballot unless the Bylaws so provide.

VI.

A. The liability of the directors for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

B. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company is authorized to provide indemnification of (and advancement of expenses to) directors, officers and agents of the Company (and any other persons to which applicable law permits the Company to provide indemnification) through Bylaw provisions, agreements with such agents or other persons, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise in excess of the indemnification and advancement otherwise permitted by such applicable law. If applicable law is amended after approval by the stockholders of this Article VI to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director to the Company shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as so amended.

C. Any repeal or modification of this Article VI shall only be prospective and shall not affect the rights or protections or increase the liability of any director under this Article VI in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of any act or omission to act giving rise to liability or indemnification.

Annex A-1-100

VII.

A. Unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company; (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders; (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any director or officer or other employee of the Company arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company; or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any director or officer or other employee of the Company governed by the internal affairs doctrine, except for, as to each of (i) through (iv) above, any claim (A) as to which the Court of Chancery determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten days following such determination), (B) which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery, or (C) for which the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under federal securities laws, including the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

B. If any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of Section A of this Article VII is filed in a court other than a court located within the State of Delaware (a “Foreign Action”) in the name of any stockholder, such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to (i) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within the State of Delaware in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce Section A of this Article VII (an “FSC Enforcement Action”) and (ii) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such FSC Enforcement Action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such stockholder.

C. If any provision or provisions of this Article VII is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any person or entity or circumstance for any reason whatsoever, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Article VII (including, without limitation, each portion of any sentence of this Article VII containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) and the application of such provision to other persons or entities and circumstances shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Company shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of this Article VII.

VIII.

A. The Company hereby expressly elects not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL.

B. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not engage in any Business Combination (as defined below), at any point in time at which the Common Stock is registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act with any Interested Stockholder (as defined below) for a period of three years following the time that such stockholder became an Interested Stockholder, unless:

1. prior to such time, the Board of Directors approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an Interested Stockholder, or

2. upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an Interested Stockholder, the Interested Stockholder owned at least 85% of the Voting Stock (as defined below) of the Company outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the Voting Stock outstanding (but not the outstanding Voting Stock owned by the Interested Stockholder) those shares owned (a) by persons who are directors and also officers and (b) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer, or

3. at or subsequent to such time, the Business Combination is approved by the Board of Directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 662/3% of the outstanding Voting Stock of the Company that is not owned by the Interested Stockholder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a presumption of control shall not apply where such Person holds voting stock, in good faith and not for the purpose of circumventing this Section D, as an agent, bank, broker, nominee, custodian or trustee for one or more owners who do not individually or as a group have control of such entity.

E.

Section 5.  Annual Meeting.

(a)  The annual meeting of the stockholders of the corporation, for the purpose of election of directors and for such other business as may properly come before it, shall be held on such date and at such time as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the corporation and the proposal of business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders: (i) as provided in the Director Nomination Agreement, dated as of June 11, 2020 (as the same may be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Nomination Agreement”) (with respect to nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors only), (ii) pursuant to the corporation’s notice of meeting of stockholders (with respect to business other than nominations); (iii) brought specifically by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or any authorized committee thereof; or (iv) by any stockholder of the corporation who was a stockholder of record at the time of giving the stockholder’s notice provided for in Section 5(b), who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complied with the notice procedures set forth in Section 5. For the avoidance of doubt, clauses (i) and (iv) above shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations and submit other business (other than matters properly included in the corporation’s notice of meeting of stockholders and proxy statement under Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “1934 Act”)) before an annual meeting of stockholders.

(b)  At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as is a proper matter for stockholder action under Delaware law and as shall have been properly brought before the meeting.

(1)  For nominations for the election to the Board of Directors to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (iv) of Section 5(a), the stockholder must deliver written notice to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation on a timely basis as set forth in Section 5(b)(3) and must update and supplement such written notice on a timely basis as set forth in Section 5(c).

The corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as an independent director of the corporation or that could be material to a reasonable stockholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such proposed nominee.

(2)  Other than proposals sought to be included in the corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to Rule 14(a)-8 under the 1934 Act, for business other than nominations for the election to the Board of Directors to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (iv) of Section 5(a), the stockholder must deliver written notice to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation on a timely basis as set forth in Section 5(b)(3), and must update and supplement such written notice on a timely basis as set forth in Section 5(c). Such stockholder’s notice shall set forth: (A) as to each matter such stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting, and any material interest (including any anticipated benefit of such business to any Proponent (as defined below) other than solely as a result of its ownership of the corporation’s capital stock, that is material to any Proponent individually, or to the Proponents in the aggregate) in such business of any Proponent; and (B) the information required by Section 5(b)(4).

(3)  To be timely, the written notice required by Section 5(b)(1) or Section 5(b)(2) must be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day nor earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that, subject to the last sentence of this Section 5(b)(3), if the date of the annual meeting is advanced more than thirty (30) days prior to or delayed by more than thirty (30) days after the anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. In no event shall an adjournment or a postponement of an annual meeting for which notice has been given, or the public announcement thereof has been made, commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

(4)  The written notice required by Section 5(b)(1) or Section 5(b)(2) shall also set forth, as of the date of the notice and as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (each, a “Proponent” and collectively, the “Proponents”): (A) the name and address of each Proponent, as they appear on the corporation’s books; (B) the class, series and number of shares of the corporation that are owned beneficially and of record by each Proponent; (C) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether oral or in writing) with respect to such nomination or proposal between or among any Proponent and any of its affiliates or associates, and any others (including their names) acting in concert, or otherwise under the agreement, arrangement or understanding, with any of the foregoing; (D) a representation that the Proponents are holders of record or beneficial owners, as the case may be, of shares of the corporation entitled to vote at the meeting and intend to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice (with respect to a notice under Section 5(b)(1)) or to propose the business that is specified in the notice (with respect to a notice under Section 5(b)(2)); (E) a representation as to whether the Proponents intend to deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of a sufficient number of holders of the corporation’s voting shares to elect such nominee or nominees (with respect to a notice under Section 5(b)(1)) or to carry such proposal (with respect to a notice under Section 5(b)(2)); (F) to the extent known by any Proponent, the name and address of any other stockholder supporting the proposal on the date of such stockholder’s notice; and (G) a description of all Derivative Transactions (as defined below) by each Proponent during the previous twelve (12) month period, including the date of the transactions and the class, series and number of securities involved in, and the material economic terms of, such Derivative Transactions.

Nothing in these Bylaws shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the 1934 Act; provided, however, that any references in these Bylaws to the 1934 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit the requirements applicable to nominations for the election to the Board of Directors to be considered pursuant to Section 6(c).

Section 7.  Notice of Meetings. Except as otherwise provided by law, notice, given in writing or by electronic transmission, of each meeting of stockholders shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting, such notice to specify the place, if any, date and hour, in the case of special meetings, the purpose or purposes of the meeting, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at any such meeting. If mailed, notice is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the

Annex A-1-112

stockholder at such stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the corporation. Notice of the time, place, if any, and purpose of any meeting of stockholders may be waived in writing, signed by the person entitled to notice thereof or by electronic transmission by such person, either before or after such meeting, and will be waived by any stockholder by his or her attendance thereat in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by proxy, except when the stockholder attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Any stockholder so waiving notice of such meeting shall be bound by the proceedings of any such meeting in all respects as if due notice thereof had been given.

Section 8.  Quorum. At all meetings of stockholders, except where otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation, or by these Bylaws, the presence, in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by proxy duly authorized, of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. In the absence of a quorum, any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned, from time to time, either by the chairperson of the meeting or by vote of the holders of a majority of voting power of the shares represented thereat, but no other business shall be transacted at such meeting. The stockholders present at a duly called or convened meeting, at which a quorum is present, may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. Except as otherwise provided by statute or by applicable stock exchange rules, or by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of the majority of the voting power of the shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy duly authorized at the meeting and entitled to vote generally on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders. Except as otherwise provided by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote generally on the election of directors. Where a separate vote by a class or classes or series is required, except where otherwise provided by statute, by applicable stock exchange rules or by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of such class or classes or series, present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy duly authorized, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter. Except where otherwise provided by statute, by applicable stock exchange rules or by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the affirmative vote of the majority (plurality, in the case of the election of directors) of shares of such class or classes or series present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the meeting shall be the act of such class or classes or series.

Section 9.  Adjournment and Notice of Adjourned Meetings. Any meeting of stockholders, whether annual or special, may be adjourned from time to time either by the chairperson of the meeting or by the vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the meeting. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, if any, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place, if any, thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

Section 10.  Voting Rights. For the purpose of determining those stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of the stockholders, except as otherwise provided by law, only persons in whose names shares stand on the stock records of the corporation on the record date, as provided in Section 12, shall be entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders. Every person entitled to vote shall have the right to do so either in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by an agent or agents authorized by a proxy granted in accordance with Delaware law. An agent so appointed need not be a stockholder. No proxy shall be voted after three (3) years from its date of creation unless the proxy provides for a longer period.

Section 11.  Joint Owners of Stock. If shares or other securities having voting power stand of record in the names of two (2) or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants in common, tenants by the entirety, or otherwise, or if two (2) or more persons have the same fiduciary relationship respecting the same shares, unless the Secretary is given written notice to the contrary and is furnished with a copy of the instrument or order appointing them or creating the relationship wherein it is so provided, their acts with respect to voting shall have the following effect: (a) if only one (1) votes, his or her act binds all; (b) if more than one (1) votes, the act of the

Annex A-1-113

majority so voting binds all; (c) if more than one (1) votes, but the vote is evenly split on any particular matter, each faction may vote the securities in question proportionally, or may apply to the Delaware Court of Chancery for relief as provided in the DGCL, Section 217(b). If the instrument filed with the Secretary shows that any such tenancy is held in unequal interests, a majority or even-split for the purpose of subsection (c) shall be a majority or even-split in interest.

Section 12.  List of Stockholders. The Secretary shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at said meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (b) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the corporation. If the corporation makes the list available on an electronic network, the corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the corporation. The list shall be open to examination of any stockholder during the time of the meeting as provided by law.

Section 13.  Action Without Meeting. No action shall be taken by the stockholders except at an annual or special meeting of stockholders called in accordance with these Bylaws. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, no action shall be taken by the stockholders by written consent or by electronic transmission.

(a)  At every meeting of stockholders, the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, or, if a Chairperson has not been appointed or is absent, the Chief Executive Officer, or, if the Chief Executive Officer is absent, the President, or, if the President is absent, a chairperson of the meeting chosen by a majority in interest of the stockholders entitled to vote, present in person or by proxy, shall act as chairperson. The Secretary, or, in his or her absence, an Assistant Secretary directed to do so by the Chief Executive Officer or the President, shall act as secretary of the meeting.

(b)  The Board of Directors shall be entitled to make such rules or regulations for the conduct of meetings of stockholders as it shall deem necessary, appropriate or convenient. Subject to such rules and regulations of the Board of Directors, if any, the chairperson of the meeting shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairperson, are necessary, appropriate or convenient for the proper conduct of the meeting, including, without limitation, establishing an agenda or order of business for the meeting, rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present, limitations on participation in such meeting to stockholders of record of the corporation and their duly authorized and constituted proxies and such other persons as the chairperson shall permit, restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof, limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants and regulation of the opening and closing of the polls for balloting on matters which are to be voted on by ballot.

Unless and to the extent determined by the Board of Directors or the chairperson of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with rules of parliamentary procedure.

(c)  If authorized by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, and subject to such guidelines and procedures as the Board of Directors may adopt, stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting and proxy holders not physically present at a meeting of stockholders may, by means of remote communication: (i) participate in a meeting of stockholders; and (ii) be deemed to be present in person and vote at a meeting of stockholders, whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication; provided, that (A) the corporation shall implement reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a stockholder or proxy holder, (B) the corporation shall implement reasonable measures to provide such stockholders and proxy holders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the stockholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with such proceedings, and (C) if any stockholder or proxy holder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communication, a record of such votes or other action shall be maintained by the corporation.

ARTICLE IV
DIRECTORS

Section 15.  Number and Term of Office. The authorized number of directors of the corporation shall be fixed in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation. Directors need not be stockholders unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation. If for any cause, the directors shall not have been elected at an annual meeting, they may be elected as soon thereafter as convenient at a special meeting of the stockholders called for that purpose in the manner provided in these Bylaws.

Section 16.  Powers. The business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors, except as may be otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation.

Section 17.  Classes of Directors. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, following the adoption of these Bylaws, the directors shall be divided into three classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, respectively. The Board of Directors is authorized to assign members of the Board of Directors already in office to such classes at the time the classification becomes effective. At the first annual meeting of stockholders following the adoption of these Bylaws, the term of office of the Class I directors shall expire and Class I directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At the second annual meeting of stockholders following the adoption of these Bylaws, the term of office of the Class II directors shall expire and Class II directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At the third annual meeting of stockholders following the adoption of these Bylaws, the term of office of the Class III directors shall expire and Class III directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders, directors shall be elected for a full term of three years to succeed the directors of the class whose terms expire at such annual meeting.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 17, each director shall serve until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

Section 18.  Vacancies. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, and subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock or as otherwise provided by applicable law or in the Nomination Agreement, any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other causes and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors shall be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, or by a sole remaining director, and not by the stockholders, provided, however, that whenever the holders of any class or classes of stock or series thereof are entitled to elect one or more directors by the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or the Nomination Agreement, vacancies and newly created directorships of such class or classes or series shall be filled by a majority of the directors elected by such class or classes or series thereof then in office, or by a sole remaining director so elected, and not by the stockholders. Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the director for which the vacancy was created or occurred and until such director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified. A vacancy in the Board of Directors shall be deemed to exist under this Bylaw in the case of the death, removal or resignation of any director.

Section 19.  Resignation. Any director may resign at any time by delivering his or her notice in writing or by electronic transmission to the Secretary, such resignation to specify whether it will be effective at a particular time. If no such specification is made, the Secretary, in his or her discretion, may either (a) require confirmation from the director prior to deeming the resignation effective, in which case the resignation will be deemed effective upon receipt of such confirmation, or (b) deem the resignation effective at the time of delivery of the resignation to the Secretary. When one or more directors shall resign from the Board of Directors, effective at a future date, a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, shall have power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become effective, and each director so chosen shall hold office for the unexpired portion of the term of the director whose place shall be vacated and until his successor shall have been duly elected and qualified.

Section 20.  Removal. Subject to any limitation imposed by applicable law and to the rights of holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, any individual director or directors may only be removed from office with cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least at least 85% of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote generally at an

Annex A-1-115

election of directors; provided, that at any time when the Founder Parties (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation) beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than a majority of the total voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote generally at an election of directors, subject to any limitations imposed by applicable law, any individual director or directors may be removed with cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 662/3% of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote generally at an election of directors.

Notice of any meeting may be waived in writing or by electronic transmission at any time before or after the meeting and will be waived by any director by attendance thereat, except when the director attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

(e)  Waiver of Notice.

The membership of a committee member shall terminate on the date of his death or voluntary resignation from the committee or from the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may at any time for any reason remove any individual committee member and the Board of Directors may fill any committee vacancy created by death, resignation, removal or increase in the number of members of the committee. The Board of Directors may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee, and, in addition, in the absence or disqualification of any member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not he or they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member.

(a)  In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall, subject to applicable law, not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

ARTICLE XI
INDEMNIFICATION

Section 44.  Indemnification of Directors, Officers, Employees and Other Agents.

(a)  Directors and Officers. The corporation shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by the DGCL or any other applicable law; provided, however, that the corporation may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with its directors and officers; and, provided, further, that the corporation shall not be required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless (i) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law, (ii) the proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the corporation, (iii) such indemnification is provided by the corporation, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the corporation under the DGCL or any other applicable law or (iv) such indemnification is required to be made under Section 44(d).

(b)  Employees and other Agents. The corporation shall have power to indemnify its employees and other agents as set forth in the DGCL or any other applicable law. The Board of Directors shall have the power to delegate the determination of whether indemnification shall be given to any such person as the Board of Directors shall determine.

(c)  Expenses. The corporation shall advance to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer, of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request therefor, all expenses incurred by any director or officer in connection with such proceeding provided, however, that if the DGCL requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a “final adjudication”) that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section 44 or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise determined pursuant to Section 44(e), no advance shall be made by the corporation to an officer of the corporation (except by reason of the fact that such officer is or was a director of the corporation in which event this sentence shall not apply) in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made (i) by a majority vote of directors who were not parties to the proceeding, even if not a quorum, or (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no such directors, or such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.

(d)  Enforcement. Without the necessity of entering into an express contract, all rights to indemnification and advances to directors and officers under this Section 44 shall be deemed to be contractual rights and be effective to the same extent and as if provided for in a contract between the corporation and the director or officer. Any right to indemnification or advances granted by this Section 44 to a director or officer shall be enforceable by or on behalf of the person holding such right in any court of competent jurisdiction if (i) the claim for indemnification or advances

Annex A-1-122

is denied, in whole or in part, or (ii) no disposition of such claim is made within ninety (90) days of request therefor. To the extent permitted by law, the claimant in such enforcement action, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting the claim. In connection with any claim for indemnification, the corporation shall be entitled to raise as a defense to any such action that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct that make it permissible under the DGCL or any other applicable law for the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed. In connection with any claim by an officer of the corporation (except in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such officer is or was a director of the corporation) for advances, the corporation shall be entitled to raise a defense as to any such action clear and convincing evidence that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or with respect to any criminal action or proceeding that such person acted without reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL or any other applicable law, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. In any suit brought by a director or officer to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, the burden of proving that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Section 44 or otherwise shall be on the corporation.

(e)  Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this Section 44 shall not be exclusive of any other right which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any applicable statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office. The corporation is specifically authorized to enter into individual contracts with any or all of its directors, officers, employees or agents respecting indemnification and advances, to the fullest extent not prohibited by the DGCL or any other applicable law.

(f)  Survival of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this Section 44 shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or other agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

(g)  Insurance. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL or any other applicable law, the corporation, upon approval by the Board of Directors, may purchase insurance on behalf of any person required or permitted to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 44.

(h)  Amendments. Any repeal or modification of this Section 44 shall only be prospective and shall not affect the rights under this Section 44 in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that is the cause of any proceeding against any agent of the corporation.

(i)  Saving Clause. If this Section 44 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each director and officer to the full extent not prohibited by any applicable portion of this Section 44 that shall not have been invalidated, or by any other applicable law. If this Section 44 is invalid due to the application of the indemnification provisions of another jurisdiction, then the corporation shall indemnify each director and executive officer to the full extent under any other applicable law.

(j)  Certain Definitions. For the purposes of this Section 44, the following definitions shall apply:

(1)  The term “proceeding” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, the investigation, preparation, prosecution, defense, settlement, arbitration and appeal of, and the giving of testimony in, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative.

(2)  The term “expenses” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, court costs, attorneys’ fees, witness fees, fines, amounts paid in settlement or judgment and any other costs and expenses of any nature or kind incurred in connection with any proceeding.

(3)  The term the “corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its

Annex A-1-123

separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Section 44 with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

(4)  References to a “director,” “executive officer,” “officer,” “employee,” or “agent” of the corporation shall include, without limitation, situations where such person is serving at the request of the corporation as, respectively, a director, executive officer, officer, employee, trustee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

(5)  References to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the corporation” as referred to in this section.

ARTICLE XII
NOTICES

Section 45.  Notices.

(a)  Notice to Stockholders. Written notice to stockholders of stockholder meetings shall be given as provided in Section 7. Without limiting the manner by which notice may otherwise be given effectively to stockholders under any agreement or contract with such stockholder, and except as otherwise required by law, written notice to stockholders for purposes other than stockholder meetings may be sent by United States mail or nationally recognized overnight courier, or by facsimile, telegraph or telex or by electronic mail or other electronic means.

(b)  Notice to Directors. Any notice required to be given to any director may be given by the method stated in Section 45(a) or as otherwise provided in these Bylaws. If such notice is not delivered personally, it shall be sent to such address as such director shall have filed in writing with the Secretary, or, in the absence of such filing, to the last known post office address of such director.

(c)  Affidavit of Mailing. An affidavit of mailing, executed by a duly authorized and competent employee of the corporation or its transfer agent appointed with respect to the class of stock affected or other agent, specifying the name and address or the names and addresses of the stockholder or stockholders, or director or directors, to whom any such notice or notices was or were given, and the time and method of giving the same, shall in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts therein contained.

(d)  Methods of Notice. It shall not be necessary that the same method of giving notice be employed in respect of all recipients of notice, but one permissible method may be employed in respect of any one or more, and any other permissible method or methods may be employed in respect of any other or others.

(e)  Notice to Person with Whom Communication is Unlawful. Whenever notice is required to be given, under any provision of law or of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the corporation, to any person with whom communication is unlawful, the giving of such notice to such person shall not be required and there shall be no duty to apply to any governmental authority or agency for a license or permit to give such notice to such person. Any action or meeting which shall be taken or held without notice to any such person with whom communication is unlawful shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. In the event that the action taken by the corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate under any provision of the DGCL, the certificate shall state, if such is the fact and if notice is required, that notice was given to all persons entitled to receive notice except such persons with whom communication is unlawful.

Annex A-1-124

(f)  Notice to Stockholders Sharing an Address. Except as otherwise prohibited under DGCL, any notice given under the provisions of DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws shall be effective if given by a single written notice to stockholders who share an address if consented to by the stockholders at that address to whom such notice is given. Such consent shall have been deemed to have been given if such stockholder fails to object in writing to the corporation within sixty (60) days of having been given notice by the corporation of its intention to send the single notice. Any consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the corporation.

ARTICLE XIII
AMENDMENTS

Section 46.  Amendments. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 44(h) or the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors is expressly empowered to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the corporation. The stockholders also shall have power to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the corporation; provided, however, that, in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the corporation required by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation, such action by stockholders shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 85% of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class; provided, that, at any time when the Founder Parties (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation) beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than a majority of the total voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote generally at an election of directors, subject to any limitations imposed by applicable law, any such adoption, amendment or repeal may be undertaken by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 662/3% of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote generally at an election of directors.

Registration Rights

2.1 Registration

(a) Registration Requirements. The Company shall, not later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Closing, prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement on Form S-1, or Form S-3 if such registration statement form is available to the Company, and take all such other actions as are necessary to ensure that there is an effective “shelf” registration statement containing a prospectus that remains current covering (and to qualify under required U.S. state securities laws, if any) the offer and sale of all Registrable Securities by the Holders on a continuous or delayed basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act (the registration statement, the “Resale Shelf Registration Statement”). The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Commission to declare the Resale Shelf Registration Statement effective as soon as possible thereafter but in any event within three (3) days after the Commission advises the Company that it has completed its review of such registration statement, and to remain effective and the prospectus contained therein current until all Holders cease to hold Registrable Securities. The Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall provide for any method or combination of methods of resale of Registrable Securities legally available to, and requested by, the Holders, and shall comply with the relevant provisions of the Securities Act and Exchange Act.

(b) Request for Underwritten Takedowns. The Holders that qualify as Initiating Holders will be entitled to Underwritten Takedowns with respect to their Registrable Securities in accordance with this Section 2.1. If the Company shall receive from any Initiating Holder a written request signed by such Initiating Holder that the Company effect any Underwritten Takedown with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities (such request shall state the number of shares of Registrable Securities proposed to be disposed of by such Initiating Holder), the Company will:

(i) promptly, and in any event, within five (5) days after receiving such request, give written notice of the proposed Underwritten Takedown to all other Qualified Holders; and

(ii) as soon as practicable, use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Commission to declare such Underwritten Takedown effective within sixty (60) days thereafter (including, without limitation, filing post-effective amendments, one or more prospectus supplements, appropriate qualifications under any applicable blue sky or other state securities laws, and appropriate compliance with the Securities Act) and to permit and facilitate the sale and distribution in an underwritten offering of all or such portion of such Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request received by the Company within ten (10) days after such written notice from the Company is mailed or delivered.

(c) Limitations on Underwritten Takedowns. The Company shall not be obligated to effect any Underwritten Takedown pursuant to this Section 2.1:

(i) If the Initiating Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such Underwritten Takedown, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any), the aggregate proceeds of which are anticipated to be less than $10,000,000;

(ii) In any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification, or compliance, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act;

(iii) If the Company has effected two (2) such Underwritten Takedowns in any given twelve (12) month period;

(iv) If the Initiating Holder proposes to dispose of shares of Registrable Securities that may be registered on Form S-3 pursuant to the request made pursuant to Section 2.2;

(v) If the Initiating Holder does not request that such offering be firmly underwritten by underwriters selected by the Initiating Holder (subject to the consent of the Company); or

(vi) If the Company and the Initiating Holder are unable to obtain the commitment of the underwriter described in clause (v) above to firmly underwrite the offer.

Annex A-1-133

(d) Other Shares. Any Underwritten Takedown may, subject to the provisions of Section 2.1(f), include Other Shares, and may include securities of the Company being sold for the account of the Company, provided that, any Other Shares or securities of the Company to be included in an Underwritten Takedown must be the subject of an effective shelf registration statement at the time the Company receives the request for an Underwritten Takedown from the Initiating Holder.

(e) Underwriting; Cutback. If the Company requests inclusion in any Underwritten Takedown of securities to be sold for its own account, or if other persons request inclusion of Other Shares in any Underwritten Takedown, the Initiating Holder shall, on behalf of all Holders, offer to include such securities in the underwriting and such offer shall be conditioned upon the participation of the Company or such other persons in such underwriting and the inclusion of the Company’s and such other person’s securities of the Company and their acceptance of the applicable provisions of this Section 2. The Company shall (together with all Holders and other persons proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company, which underwriters are reasonably acceptable to a majority-in-interest of Holders that qualify as Initiating Holders. No Holder (or its permitted transferee or assignee under Section 2.11) shall be required to make any representations or warranties to, or agreements with, the Company or the underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Holder’s (or such transferee’s or assignee’s) authority to enter into such underwriting agreement and to sell, and its ownership of, the securities being registered on its behalf, its intended method of distribution and any other representation required by law.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.1, if the underwriters, in good faith, advise the Initiating Holder in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of securities of the Company to be underwritten, the number of Registrable Securities and Other Shares that may be so included shall be allocated as follows: (i) first, among Initiating Holders requesting to include Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Takedown based on the pro rata percentage of Registrable Securities held by such Initiating Holders (determined based on the aggregate number of Registrable Securities held by each such Initiating Holder), provided that not less than 30% of the allocation in this clause (i) shall be for the Initial Investors; (ii) second, among all other Holders requesting to include Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Takedown based on the pro rata percentage of Registrable Securities held by such Holders (determined based on the aggregate number of Registrable Securities held by each such Holder); (iii) third, to the Company, which the Company may allocate, at its discretion, for its own account, or for the account of other Holders or employees of the Company, and (iv) fourth, to any Other Selling Stockholders requesting to include Other Shares in such Underwritten Takedown.

If a person who has requested inclusion in such Underwritten Takedown as provided above does not agree to the terms of any such underwriting, such person shall be excluded therefrom by written notice to the Company, the underwriter or the Initiating Holders, and the securities so excluded shall also be withdrawn from the Underwritten Takedown. If securities are so withdrawn from the Underwritten Takedown and if the number of shares to be included in such Underwritten Takedown was previously reduced as a result of marketing factors pursuant to this Section 2.1(e), then the Company shall offer to all Holders who have retained rights to include securities in the Underwritten Takedown the right to include additional Registrable Securities in the offering in an aggregate amount equal to the number of shares so withdrawn, with such shares to be allocated among such Holders requesting additional inclusion, as set forth above.

(f) Deferral; Suspension. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Company furnishes to the Holders a certificate (the “Suspension Notice”) signed by an executive officer of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors, effecting a registration (whether by the filing of a registration statement or by taking any other action) or the offering or disposition of Registrable Securities thereunder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, through an Underwritten Takedown) should be postponed or suspended because such registration, offering or disposal would (1) materially impede, delay or interfere with a pending material acquisition, corporate reorganization, or other similar transaction involving the Company; (2) require premature disclosure of material non-public information that the Company has a material bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (3) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, then by delivery of the Suspension Notice to the Holders, then (in addition to the limitations set forth in Section 2.1(c) of this Agreement) the Company may so postpone effecting a registration or require the Holders to refrain from offering or disposing of Registrable Securities for a period of not more than sixty (60) days, and, provided further, that the Company shall not suspend usage of a registration statement in this manner more than once in any twelve (12) month period.

Annex A-1-134

2.2 Company Registration

(a) Company Registration/Underwritten Offering. If the Company determines to (1) register any of its securities either for its own account or the account of Other Selling Stockholders (or a combination of the foregoing) during a period in which a Resale Shelf Registration Statement covering a Holder’s Registrable Securities is not then effective, other than: a registration pursuant to Section 2.1; a registration relating to the shares of Common Stock underlying the Public Warrants; a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans; a registration relating to the offer and sale of non-convertible debt securities; a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or other Rule 145 transaction; or a registration on any registration form that does not permit secondary sales, or (2) effect an underwritten public offering of securities, either for its own account or the account of Other Selling Stockholders (or a combination of the foregoing), the Company will:

(i) promptly give written notice (in any event not later than twenty (20) days prior to the filing of the registration statement or preliminary prospectus to which such offering relates) of the proposed registration or offering, as applicable, to all Holders; and

(ii) use its reasonable best efforts to include in such registration or offering, as applicable, and any related qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance, except as set forth in Section 2.2(b), and in any underwriting involved therein, all of such Registrable Securities as are specified in a written request or requests made by any Holder or Holders received by the Company within ten (10) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company. Such written request may specify all or a part of a Holder’s Registrable Securities; provided however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, only Qualified Holders shall be entitled to notice of and to participate in underwritten public offerings contemplated by clause (2) of this Section 2.2(a).

(b) Underwriting; Cutback. If the registration or offering of which the Company gives notice is for an underwritten public offering, the Company shall so advise the Qualified Holders who have elected to participate (and include the names of the proposed underwriters) as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(2)(i). All Qualified Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company and the Other Selling Stockholders with registration rights to participate therein) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company. No Qualified Holder (or its permitted transferee or assignee under Section 2.11) shall be required to make any representations or warranties to, or agreements with, the Company or the underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Qualified Holder’s (or such transferee’s or assignee’s) authority to enter into such underwriting agreement and to sell, and its ownership of, the securities being registered on its behalf, its intended method of distribution and any other representation required by law.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.2, if the underwriters in good faith advise the Company and the Qualified Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the offering in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, the underwriters may (subject to the limitations set forth below) limit the number of Registrable Securities to be included in the registration and underwriting. The Company shall so advise all holders of securities requesting registration, and the number of shares of securities that are entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated (1) if the underwritten offering is for the Company’s account, (m) first, to the Company; (n) second, to the Qualified Holders requesting to include Registrable Securities in such offering based on the pro rata percentage of Registrable Securities held by such Qualified Holders (determined based on the aggregate number of Registrable Securities held by each such Qualified Holder); and (o) third, to the Other Selling Stockholders, if any, requesting to include Other Shares in such underwritten offering pursuant to piggyback rights and (2) if the underwritten offering is for the account of Other Selling Stockholders, then (x) first, to the Other Selling Stockholders, (y) second, to the Qualified Holders requesting to include Registrable Securities in such offering based on the pro rata percentage of Registrable Securities held by such Qualified Holders (determined based on the aggregate number of Registrable Securities held by each such Qualified Holder); and (z) third, to the Company.

If a person who has requested inclusion in such registration as provided above does not agree to the terms of any such underwriting, such person shall be excluded therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter. Any Registrable Securities or Other Shares excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses prior to any such withdrawal.

Annex A-1-135

(c) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2.2 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration.

(d) Limitations. The Company shall not be obligated to effect any registrations pursuant to this Section 2.2:

(i) After the Company has initiated five (5) such Underwritten Takedowns pursuant to this Section 2.2 (counting for these purposes only (x) registrations in which Registrable Securities are not excluded or reduced pursuant to Section 2.2(b) and which have been declared or ordered effective and pursuant to which securities have been sold, and (y) withdrawn registrations);

(ii) If the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of shares of Registrable Securities that may be registered on Form S-3 pursuant to the request made pursuant to Section 2.1;

(iii) If the Initiating Holders do not request that such offering be firmly underwritten by underwriters selected by the Initiating Holders (subject to the consent of the Company); or

(iv) If the Company and the Initiating Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of the underwriter described in clause (iii) above to firmly underwrite the offer.

2.3 Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with registrations pursuant to this Section 2 shall be borne by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.2 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered or because a sufficient number of Holders shall have withdrawn so that the minimum offering conditions set forth in Sections 2.1 and 2.2 are no longer satisfied (in which case all participating Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata among each other based on the number of Registrable Securities requested to be so registered), unless the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities agree to forfeit their right to a demand registration pursuant to Section 2.1; provided, however, if a withdrawal by the Holders is based upon material adverse information relating to the Company that is different from the information known or available (upon request from the Company or otherwise) to the Holders requesting registration at the time of their request for registration under Section 2.1, such registration shall not be treated as a counted registration for purposes of Section 2.1, even though the Holders do not bear the Registration Expenses for such registration. All Selling Expenses relating to securities registered on behalf of the Holders and the holders of any Other Shares shall be borne by the Holders and any holders of any Other Shares included in such registration pro rata among each other on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities and Other Shares, respectively, registered on their behalf.

(g) Notify each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or incomplete in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, and following such notification promptly prepare and file a post-effective amendment to such registration statement or a supplement to the related prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document that would be incorporated by reference into such registration statement and prospectus, so that such registration statement does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that such prospectus does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and, in the case of a post-effective amendment to a registration statement, use reasonable best efforts to cause it to be declared effective as promptly as is reasonably practicable, and give to the Holders listed as selling security holders in such prospectus a written notice of such amendment or supplement, and, upon receipt of such notice, each such Holder agrees not to sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement until such Holder’s receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus or until it receives further written notice from the Company that such sales may re-commence;

This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Company may otherwise have. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Holder or any indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Holder.

Annex A-1-139

(b) To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder, severally and not jointly, will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities as to which such registration, qualification or compliance is being effected, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, officers, employees, partners, legal counsel and accountants and each underwriter, if any, of the Company’s securities covered by such a registration statement, each person or entity who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, each other such Holder, and each of their officers, directors and partners, and each person or entity controlling each other such Holder, and each of their respective Representatives, against all claims, judgments, penalties losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on: (i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any prospectus, offering circular or other document (including any related registration statement, notification, or the like) incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing by or on behalf of such selling Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration, (ii) any omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing by or on behalf of such selling Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration, or (iii) any violation (or alleged violation) by the Company of the Securities Act, any state securities laws or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to the Holder and relating to action or inaction required of the Holder in connection with any offering covered by such registration, qualification or compliance, and will reimburse the Company and such Holders, directors, officers, partners, legal counsel and accountants, persons, underwriters, or control persons for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission (i) is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use therein and (ii) has not been corrected in a subsequent writing prior to or concurrently with the sale of the Registrable Securities to the person asserting the claim; provided, however, that the obligations of such Holder hereunder shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claims, losses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and provided that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 2.7 exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder, except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such Holder.

(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 2.7 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall (i) give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought (provided, that any delay or failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that it is actually and materially prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure), and (ii) permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party’s expense unless (w) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees or expenses, (x) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense of such claim within a reasonable time after receipt of notice of such claim from the Indemnified Party hereunder and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, (y) the Indemnified Party has reasonably concluded (based upon advice of its counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party, or (z) in the reasonable judgment of any such person (based upon advice of its counsel) a conflict of interest may exist between such person and the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the person notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that such Person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such person). No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Each Indemnified Party shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

Annex A-1-140

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.7 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. No Holder will be required under this Section 2.7(d) to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder, except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such Holder. No person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 2.7 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration under this Section 2.7 and otherwise shall survive the termination of this Agreement until the expiration of the applicable period of the statute of limitations.

2.8 Information by Holder. Each Holder of Registrable Securities shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the distribution proposed by such Holder as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration, qualification, or compliance referred to in this Section 2.

2.9 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may permit the sale of the Restricted Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to:

(a) Make and keep adequate current public information with respect to the Company available in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act;

(b) File with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

(c) So long as a Holder owns any Restricted Securities, furnish to the Holder forthwith upon written request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, or that it qualifies as registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after the Company so qualifies), a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed as a Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing a Holder to sell any such securities without registration. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request to enable such Holder to sell from time to time shares of Common Stock held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144, including providing at the Company’s expense any legal opinions.

2.10 No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company has not entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities or otherwise conflict with the provisions hereof. Unless the Company receives the consent of each of (i) the Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities issued to the Initial Investors and (ii) the Holders holding a majority of the Merger Shares that are Registrable Securities, the Company shall not enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities or otherwise conflict with the provisions hereof.

2.11 Transfer or Assignment of Rights. This Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the Company hereunder may not be assigned or delegated by the Company in whole or in part. The rights granted to a Holder by the Company under this Section 2 may be transferred or assigned (but only with all related obligations) by a Holder only to a transferee of Registrable Securities that is a transferee or assignee of not less than 25,000 Registrable Securities

Annex A-1-141

2.12 Lock-up Period.

There are no claims for finder’s fees or brokerage commission or other like payments in connection with the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby payable by Pre-Closing Holder pursuant to arrangements made by such Pre-Closing Holder. Except for the Company Securities Holdings set forth on Schedule 1, Pre-Closing Holder is not a beneficial owner or record holder of any: (i) Equity Interests of the Company or (ii) securities of the Company having the right to vote on any matters on which the holders of Equity Interests of the Company may vote.

(b) Binding Agreement. Holder (i) if a natural person, is of legal age to execute this Letter of Transmittal and each of the Exhibits hereto, including without limitation the Registration Rights Agreement (if applicable) and

Annex A-1-152

If Pre-Closing Holder is not a natural person, the execution and delivery of the Transmittal Documents, the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby by Pre-Closing Holder has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or similar action on the part of Pre-Closing Holder. This Letter of Transmittal and each other Transmittal Document, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the other parties hereto and thereto, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Pre-Closing Holder, enforceable against Pre-Closing Holder in accordance with its terms (except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other similar Laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditor’s rights, and to general equitable principles).

(c) No Conflicts. No filing with, or notification to, any Governmental Authority, and no consent, approval, authorization or other Permit of any other Person is necessary for the execution of this Letter of Transmittal or any other Transmittal Document by Pre-Closing Holder, the performance of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. None of the execution and delivery of this Letter of Transmittal or any other Transmittal Document by Pre-Closing Holder, the performance of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby will (i) conflict with or result in any breach of the Organizational Documents of Pre-Closing Holder, if applicable, (ii) result in, or give rise to, a violation or breach of or a default under any of the terms of any Contract or obligation to which Pre-Closing Holder is a party or by which Pre-Closing Holder or any of the Company Interests or its other assets may be bound, or (iii) to the actual knowledge of Pre-Closing Holder, violate any applicable Law or Governmental Order, except for any of the foregoing in clauses (i) through (iii) as would not reasonably be expected to impair in any material respect Pre-Closing Holder’s ability to perform its obligations under this Letter of Transmittal or the other Transmittal Documents.

2. Disposition of Company Interests. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Pre-Closing Holder hereby surrenders, cancels and terminates Pre-Closing Holder’s Company Interests, if any, in exchange for Pre-Closing Holder’s applicable Pro Rata Share of the Merger Consideration, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement (including but not limited to Section 3.5 of the Merger Agreement). Holder hereby authorizes and instructs the Parent to make entries in its books and records to record and give effect to the issue and allotment of the portion of Merger Consideration due to Holder as a result of the Merger, if any, in the name of and deliver to the address indicated below (unless otherwise instructed in Schedule 1 hereto).

3. Appointment of Holder Representative to Act on Pre-Closing Holder’s Behalf. By the execution and delivery of this Letter of Transmittal, Pre-Closing Holder on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, hereby agrees to the provisions of Article IX of the Merger Agreement and irrevocably constitutes and appoints Salvatore Galletti, in its capacity as the Holder Representative as set forth in the Merger Agreement, as the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact of Pre-Closing Holder with full powers of substitution to act in the name, place and stead of thereof with respect to the performance on behalf of Pre-Closing Holder to the extent set forth in Article IX of the Merger Agreement.

4. Confidentiality. Pre-Closing Holder hereby agrees for a period of five (5) years from and after the date hereof to, and to cause its heirs, past, present or future directors, managers, employees, partners, equityholders, agents, attorneys, advisors, representatives, successors, assigns, including, without limitation, any receiver, any assignee for the benefit of creditors or any trustee under the United States Bankruptcy Code or similar Law, and Affiliates (collectively, “Representatives”) to: (i) treat and hold in strict confidence any Company Confidential Information, and not use for any purpose (except in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Letter of Transmittal, the Merger Agreement or any other Transaction Document, performing its obligations hereunder or thereunder or enforcing its rights hereunder or thereunder), nor directly or indirectly disclose, distribute, publish, disseminate or otherwise make available to any third party any of the Company Confidential Information without the Company’s and the Parent’s prior written consent (except for (A) for disclosures to Pre-Closing Holder’s Representatives, in each case with a bona fide need to know, provided that such persons and entities have agreed to the confidentiality restrictions contained herein or (B) if such Company Confidential Information has otherwise been made public other than as a result of a breach by Pre-Closing Holder of its confidentiality obligations under this Letter of Transmittal (including its

Annex A-1-153

obligations with respect to Pre-Closing Holder’s Representatives) or pursuant to a separate confidentiality obligation to the Company or Parent); and (ii) in the event that Pre-Closing Holder or any of Pre-Closing Holder’s Representatives becomes legally compelled to disclose any Company Confidential Information, (A) provide the Company and the Parent with prompt written notice of such requirement so that the Company and the Parent may seek a protective order or other remedy or waive compliance with this Section 4 and (B) in the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or the Company and the Parent waive compliance with this Section 4, furnish only that portion of such Company Confidential Information that is legally required to be provided as advised in writing by outside counsel and to exercise its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded such Company Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Pre-Closing Holder is already subject to confidentiality obligations to the Company which are in effect as of the Closing Date which provide that such confidentiality obligations are the sole confidentiality provisions with respect to the Company applicable to Pre-Closing Holder, then those confidentiality obligations will apply to Pre-Closing Holder in lieu of the provisions of this Section 4. “Company Confidential Information” means all confidential or proprietary documents and information concerning the Company and/or its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives, furnished in connection with the Merger Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the Transmittal Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby; provided, however, that Company Confidential Information shall not include any information (i) that is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a direct or indirect result of the disclosure of any of such information by Pre-Closing Holder or any of Pre-Closing Holder’s Representatives in violation of this Letter of Transmittal; (ii) that was in the Pre-Closing Holder’s or Pre-Closing Holder’s Representative’s possession prior to the time it was first made available to Pre-Closing Holder or any of Pre-Closing Holder’s Representatives by or on behalf of the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of its Representatives, provided that the source of such information was not known by Pre-Closing Holder or any of Pre-Closing Holder’s Representatives to be bound by any contractual or other obligation of confidentiality to the Company or any other Person with respect to any of such information; (iii) that is or becomes available to Pre-Closing Holder on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company or its Representatives, provided that such source is not known by Pre-Closing Holder to be bound by any contractual or other obligation of confidentiality to the Company or any other Person with respect to any of such information; or (iv) is or was independently developed by Pre-Closing Holder or Pre-Closing Holder’s Representatives with no reference to or use of information that otherwise constitutes Company Confidential Information.

5. Release of Claims. In consideration of the receipt of its applicable Pro Rata Share of the Merger Consideration (which may be increased to decreased pursuant to Section 3.5 of the Merger Agreement), Pre-Closing Holder, intending to be legally bound, effective as of the Effective Time, for himself, herself or itself and on behalf of all of his, her or its heirs, past, present or future directors, managers, employees, partners, equityholders, agents, attorneys, advisors, representatives, successors, assigns, including, without limitation, any receiver, any assignee for the benefit of creditors or any trustee under the United States Bankruptcy Code or similar Law, and Affiliates (collectively, “Releasors”) hereby releases and discharges the Company and its affiliates and their respective past, present and future directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, “Releasees”) fully, finally and forever, from all and any manner of claims, actions, rights, causes of actions, suits, obligations, liabilities, debts, due sums of money, agreements, promises, damages, judgments, executions, accounts, expenses, costs, attorneys’ fees and demands whatsoever, whether in law, contract or equity, whether known or unknown, matured or unmatured, foreseen or unforeseen, arising out of events existing or occurring contemporaneously with or prior to the Effective Time, in each case, in Pre-Closing Holder’s capacity as a stockholder of the Company (or its predecessors) (including whether or not the Merger Consideration Schedule did not accurately reflect the terms of the Company Certificate) or otherwise relating to Pre-Closing Holder’s acquisition, ownership, control or sale of Company Interests (including any rights to indemnities from the Company or any of its Affiliates pursuant to any Contract entered into by such Pre-Closing Holder in connection with such issuance); provided, that nothing contained herein shall operate to release any liabilities of a Releasee based upon, arising out of or relating to, without duplication, (i) this Letter of Transmittal and each of the Exhibits hereto, including the Registration Rights Agreement, and any other document required by this Letter of Transmittal, the Merger Agreement or any of the Transaction Agreements, (ii) the obligations of any insurer under any insurance policy (including any insurance policy obtained pursuant to Section 6.10 of the Merger Agreement), (iii) any rights to indemnification to the extent provided for in the Organizational Documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as of the date hereof, or (iv) any claims, actions, or causes of action that, as a matter of applicable Law, are not waivable.

Re: Sponsor Earnout Letter

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as it may be amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among (i) Forum Merger II Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”), (ii) Sprout Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Parent, (iii) Myjojo, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and (iv) Salvatore Galletti, in the capacity as the initial Holder Representative. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Merger Agreement.

In order to induce the Company to enter into the Merger Agreement, the Sponsor has agreed to enter into this letter agreement (this “Agreement”). Pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Sponsor agrees to place into escrow 2,500,000 shares of Parent Common Stock that were purchased by Sponsor in a private placement prior to the IPO (the “Sponsor Earnout Shares”).

For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Sponsor and each of the undersigned parties hereby agrees as follows:

1.      The Sponsor hereby agrees that, upon and subject to the Closing, the Sponsor will place the Sponsor Earnout Shares into escrow in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement. Sponsor acknowledges and agrees that such Sponsor Earnout Shares will thereafter be subject to the vesting terms set forth in the Merger Agreement and if such vesting conditions are not satisfied, such Sponsor Earnout Shares shall be subject to forfeiture. If all or any portion of the Sponsor Earnout Shares vest in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, any restrictive legends that have been placed on the Sponsor Earnout Shares, other than those, if any, required by applicable securities laws, shall be removed (and the undersigned parties agree to cooperate with the Sponsor in securing the removal of such restrictive legends, if any, that have been placed on the Sponsor Earnout Shares).

2.      The Sponsor hereby agrees that, from and after the Closing, the Sponsor shall not sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of, or hypothecate or otherwise grant any interest in or to, any of the Sponsor Earnout Shares, unless and until such shares have become vested in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

3.      This Agreement, together with the Merger Agreement to the extent referenced herein, constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be changed, amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed by all parties hereto.

Annex A-1-163

4.      No party hereto may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, and any purported assignment in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void ab initio. This Agreement shall be binding on the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

5.      This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in a manner consistent with the provisions of the Merger Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement, the terms of the Merger Agreement shall govern. The provisions set forth in Section 10.6, 10.7, 10.10 and 10.12 of the Merger Agreement, as in effect as of the date hereof, are hereby incorporated by reference into, and shall be deemed to apply to, this Agreement as if all references to the “Agreement” in such sections were instead references to this Agreement.

6.      Any notice, consent or request to be given in connection with any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent in the same manner as provided in the Merger Agreement, with notices to the Sponsor, the Parent, the Company and the Holder Representative being sent to the addresses set forth therein, in each case with all copies as required thereunder.

7.      This Agreement shall terminate at such time, if any, as the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, and upon such termination this Agreement shall be null and void and of no effect whatsoever, and the parties hereto shall have no obligations under this Agreement.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements made in this release are “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used in this release, the words “estimates,” “projected,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “forecasts,” “plans,” “intends,” “believes,” “seeks,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “future,” “propose” and variations of these words or similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, conditions or results, and involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside Forum’s or the Company’s control, that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Important factors, among others, that may affect actual results or outcomes include: the inability to complete the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement due to the failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of Forum or satisfy other conditions to the closing of the proposed business combination; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company or Forum following announcement of the proposed business combination and related transactions; the inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed business combination, which may be affected by, among other things, the amount of funds available in Forum’s trust account following any redemptions by Forum’s public stockholders, competition and the ability of the combined business to grow and manage growth profitably; the ability to meet Nasdaq’s listing requirements following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the proposed business combination; costs related to the proposed business combination; and other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the proxy statement to be filed by Forum with the SEC in connection with the proposed business combination, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and other factors identified in Forum’s prior and future filings with the SEC, available at www.sec.gov.

These documents can be obtained free of charge from the sources indicated above.

Non-Solicitation

This press release does not constitute a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the proposed transaction. This press release also does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor will there be any sale of securities in any states or jurisdictions in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offering of securities will be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an exemption therefrom.

Annex A-1-169

Non-GAAP Financial Measure and Related Information

This press release includes references to projected adjusted EBITDA, a financial measure that is not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the respective meanings given to them in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

WHEREAS, the Company and certain of its affiliates have consummated the business combination and the other transactions (collectively, the “Transactions”) contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 11, 2020, by and among the Company, Sprout Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Myjojo, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Salvatore Galletti, in his capacity as the initial Holder Representative thereunder;

WHEREAS, in its capacity as the sponsor of the special purpose acquisition company that was the predecessor to the Company, the Sponsor desires that, after giving effect to the Transactions, it will continue to have representation on the Board so as to continue to create value for its direct and indirect equityholders (collectively with the Sponsor, the “Forum Parties”) and for the other direct and indirect equityholders of the Company; and

WHEREAS, in furtherance of the foregoing, the Sponsor desires to have certain director nomination rights with respect to the Company, and the Company desires to provide the Sponsor, on behalf of the Forum Parties, with such rights, in each case, on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficient of which are hereby acknowledged, each of the parties to this Agreement agrees as follows:

ARTICLE I
NOMINATION RIGHT

Section 1.1 Board Nomination Right.

(a) From the Effective Time until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 2.1, at every meeting of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”), or a committee thereof, or action by written consent, at or by which directors of the Company are appointed by the Board or are nominated to stand for election and elected by stockholders of the Company, the Sponsor shall have the right to appoint or nominate for election to the Board, as applicable, three (3) individuals, to serve as directors of the Company (any individual appointed or nominated by the Sponsor for election to the Board pursuant to this Section 1.1(a), a “Nominee” and, collectively, the “Nominees”); provided, that no fewer than one (1) of such individuals must be a female. At the Effective Time, unless otherwise designated by the Sponsor, the Nominees shall be David Boris and such other Nominees as shall have been designated by the Sponsor in writing in compliance with the criteria set forth with respect to such Nominees in the immediately preceding sentence.

(b) The Company shall take all necessary actions within its control, including but not limited to calling a meeting of the Board or executing an action by unanimous written consent of the Board, such that, as of the Effective Time, the Nominees shall either be elected by the Company’s stockholders at the meeting held to approve the Transactions or appointed to the Board as of the Effective Time, in each case, as Class I directors (as defined in the Company’s Organizational Documents, each a “Class I Director”) with terms ending at the Company’s 2021 annual meeting.

(c) From and after the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary (including, without limitation, calling special meetings of the Board and the stockholders of the Company and recommending, supporting and soliciting proxies) to ensure that: (i) the applicable Nominees are included in the Board’s slate of nominees to the stockholders of the Company for each election of Class I Directors and recommended by the Board at any meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of electing Class I Directors; and (ii) each applicable Nominee up for election is included in the proxy statement prepared by management of the Company in connection with the Company’s solicitation of proxies or consents in favor of the foregoing for every meeting of the stockholders of the Company called with respect to the election of members of the Board, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every action or approval by written resolution of the stockholders of the Company or the Board with respect to the election of Class I Directors.

Annex A-1-172

(d) If any Nominee ceases to serve for any reason, the Sponsor shall, subject to the Sponsor then being entitled to nominate such individual for election or appointment as a director pursuant to Section 1.1(a), be entitled to designate and appoint or nominate such person’s successor in accordance with this Agreement and the Board shall promptly fill the vacancy with such successor Nominee.

(e) Notwithstanding any of this Section 1.1 to the contrary, the election or appointment of any Nominee to the Board shall be subject to the prior execution by such Nominee of an irrevocable resignation letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

(f) The Company shall indemnify the Nominees on the same basis as all other members of the Board and pursuant to indemnity agreements with terms that are no less favorable to the Nominees than the indemnity agreements entered into between the Company and its other non-employee directors.

(g) Nominees shall be entitled to compensation (including equity awards) that is consistent with the compensation received by other non-employee directors of the Company. In addition, the Company shall pay the reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each Nominee in connection with his or her services provided to or on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including attending Board and committee meetings or events attended on behalf of the Company or at the Company’s request.

(h) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1.1, the Sponsor shall not be entitled to designate a Person as a nominee to the Board upon a written determination by the [Nominating and Corporate Governance] Committee of the Company (which determination shall set forth in writing reasonable grounds for the determination) that the Person would not be qualified under any applicable law, rule or regulation to serve as a director of the Company. In such an event, the Sponsor shall be entitled to select a Person as a replacement Nominee and the Company shall use its best efforts to cause that Person to be nominated as a Nominee at the same meeting (or, if permitted, pursuant to the same action by written consent of the stockholders) as the initial Person was to be nominated.

ARTICLE II
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 2.1 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate automatically and become void and of no further force or effect, without any notice or other action by any Person, as of the fifteen (15)-month anniversary of the Effective Time.

Section 2.2 Notices. All notices, requests and other communications to either party hereunder shall be in writing (including electronic transmission) and shall be given in accordance with the provisions of the Merger Agreement.

Section 2.3 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 2.4 Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, directly or indirectly, including by operation of law, by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties, except notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Sponsor may, in connection with a transfer of shares of the Company’s common stock to one of its Affiliates, assign its rights and obligations hereunder to such Affiliate transferee, in which case the prior consent of the other parties shall not be required.

Section 2.5 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is exclusively for the benefit of the parties hereto, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and this Agreement shall not be deemed to confer upon or give to any other third party any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, cause of action or other right by virtue of any applicable law in any jurisdiction to enforce any of the terms to this Agreement.

Annex A-1-173

Section 2.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. Each party acknowledges and agrees that, in entering into this Agreement, such party has not relied on any promises or assurances, written or oral, that are not reflected in this Agreement.

Section 2.7 Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict of Laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of Laws of another jurisdiction.

Section 2.8 Jurisdiction; WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. Any Action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be brought in federal and state courts located in the State of Delaware, and each of the parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such Action, waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction, venue or to convenience of forum, agrees that all claims in respect of the Action shall be heard and determined only in any such court, and agrees not to bring any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any other court.

Each party further agrees that the only permitted objection that it may raise in response to any action for any such equitable relief is that it contests the existence of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement.

To assure accuracy of the instructions it receives, the Escrow Agent may record such call backs. If the Escrow Agent is unable to verify the instructions, or is not satisfied with the verification it receives, it will not execute the instruction until all such issues have been resolved. The persons and telephone numbers for call backs may be changed only in writing, executed by an authorized signer of applicable Party set forth on Exhibit A-1 or Exhibit A-2, actually received and acknowledged by the Escrow Agent.

6.      Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth herein, which shall be deemed purely ministerial in nature, and no other duties, including but not limited to any fiduciary duty, shall be implied. The Escrow Agent shall neither be responsible for, nor chargeable with, knowledge of, nor have any requirements to comply with, the terms and conditions of any other agreement, instrument or document between the Parties, in connection herewith, if any, including without limitation the Merger Agreement, nor shall the Escrow Agent be required to determine if any Person has complied with any such agreements, nor shall any additional obligations of the Escrow Agent be inferred from the terms of such agreements, even though reference thereto may be made in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the terms of any other agreement between the Parties, the terms and conditions of this Agreement will control the actions of the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent may rely upon and shall not be liable for acting or refraining from acting upon any Joint Release Instruction or Final Determination furnished to it hereunder and reasonably believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed and presented by an authorized signer of the proper Party or Parties. Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, the Parties shall deliver to the Escrow Agent authorized signers’ forms in the form of Exhibit A-1 and Exhibit A-2. The Escrow Agent shall be under no duty to inquire into or investigate the validity, accuracy or content of any such document, notice, instruction or request; provided, however, that the Escrow Agent may not act upon instruction by either the Parent or the Holder Representative alone where Joint Written Instruction is required as provided hereunder. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to solicit any payments which may be due it or the Escrow Property. In the event that the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions, claims or demands from either Party hereto which, in its opinion, conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, it shall be entitled to (a) refrain from taking any action and its sole obligation shall be to keep safely all property held in escrow until it shall be directed otherwise in a Joint Release Instruction or Final Determination or (b) interplead all of the assets held hereunder into, or may seek other judicial relief or orders from, a court of competent jurisdiction, and the Escrow Agent shall act in accordance with any such judicial relief or court order. The Escrow Agent may consult with legal counsel of its selection in the event of any dispute or question as to the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof or its duties hereunder. The Escrow Agent will not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith except to the extent that the Escrow Agent’s fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct was the direct cause of any loss to either Party. To the extent practicable, the Parties agree to pursue commercially reasonable redress or recourse in connection with any dispute without making the Escrow Agent a party to the same. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, except in the case of the Escrow Agent’s fraud, in no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable, for any special, indirect, punitive, incidental or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Escrow Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such losses or damages and regardless of the form of action.

7.      Resignation and Removal of Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent (a) may resign and be discharged from its duties or obligations hereunder by giving thirty (30) calendar days’ advance notice in writing of such resignation to the Parties specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect or (b) may be removed, with or without cause, by the Parent and the Holder Representative acting jointly at any time by providing written notice to the Escrow Agent. Any corporation or association into which the Escrow Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or association to which all or substantially all of the escrow business of the Escrow Agent’s line of business may be transferred, shall be the Escrow Agent under this Agreement without further act; provided, however, that the Escrow Agent shall give the Parties thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any such change. The Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility after such thirty (30) day notice period expires or after receipt of written notice of removal shall be to hold and safeguard the Escrow Property (without any obligation to reinvest the same) and to deliver the same (i) to a substitute or successor escrow agent pursuant to a joint written designation from the Parties, (ii) as set forth in a Joint Release Instruction or (iii) in accordance with the directions of a Final Determination, and, at the time of such delivery, the Escrow Agent’s obligations

Annex A-1-180

hereunder shall cease and terminate. In the event the Escrow Agent resigns, if the Parties have failed to appoint a successor escrow agent prior to the expiration of thirty (30) calendar days following receipt of the notice of resignation, the Escrow Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of such a successor escrow agent (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be a comparable nationally recognized financial institution), and any such resulting appointment shall be binding upon all of the parties hereto.

8.      Fees and Expenses. All fees and expenses, if any, of the Escrow Agent are described in Schedule 1 and shall be paid by the Parent. The fees agreed upon for the services to be rendered hereunder are intended as full compensation for the Escrow Agent services as contemplated by this Agreement.

9.      Indemnity. Each of the Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend , and hold harmless the Escrow Agent and its affiliates and their respective successors, assigns, directors, officers, agents and employees (the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, liabilities, penalties, judgments, settlements, actions, suits, proceedings, litigation, investigations, costs or expenses (including the documented and reasonable fees and expenses of one outside counsel and experts) (collectively “Escrow Agent Losses”) arising out of or in connection with (a) the Escrow Agent’s execution and performance of this Agreement, tax reporting or withholding, the enforcement of any rights or remedies under or in connection with this Agreement, or as may arise by reason of any act, omission or error of the Indemnitee, except to the extent that such Escrow Agent Losses, as adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction, have been caused by the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, or (b) the Escrow Agent is following any instructions or other directions from the Parent or the Holder Representative, except to the extent the Escrow Agent following any such instruction or direction is forbidden by the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parent and the Holder Representative agree, solely as between themselves, that any obligation for indemnification under this Section 9 (or for reasonable fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent described in Section 8) shall be borne by the Party or Parties determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be responsible for causing the loss, damage, liability, cost or expense against which the Escrow Agent is entitled to indemnification or, if no such determination is made, then one-half by the Parent and one-half by the Holder Representative. The Parties hereto acknowledge that the foregoing indemnities shall survive the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent or the termination of this Agreement.

10.    Tax Matters.

(a) The Holder Representative shall be responsible for and the taxpayer on all taxes due on the interest or income earned on the Escrow Property and for any dividends earned on the Escrow Shares for the calendar year in which such interest or income is earned, if any.

Prior to the date hereof, the Parties shall provide the Escrow Agent with certified tax identification numbers by furnishing appropriate form W-9 and such other forms and documents that the Escrow Agent may request.

(b) The Escrow Agent shall be responsible only for income reporting to the Internal Revenue Service with respect to income (if any) earned on the Escrow Funds.

The Escrow Agent shall withhold any taxes required to be withheld by applicable law, including but not limited to required withholding in the absence of proper tax documentation, and shall remit such taxes to the appropriate authorities.

(c) The Escrow Agent, its affiliates, and its employees are not in the business of providing tax or legal advice to any taxpayer outside of Citigroup, Inc. and its affiliates. This Agreement and any amendments or attachments hereto are not intended or written to be used, and may not be used or relied upon, by any such taxpayer or for the purpose of avoiding tax penalties. Any such taxpayer should seek advice based on the taxpayer’s particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.

11.    Covenant of Escrow Agent.

Annex A-1-182

Notwithstanding the above, in the case of communications delivered to the Escrow Agent pursuant to the foregoing clause (i) through (iv) of this Section 12, such communications shall be deemed to have been given on the date received by the Escrow Agent. If the Escrow Agent, in its sole discretion, determines that an emergency exists, the Escrow Agent may use such other means of communication as the Escrow Agent deems appropriate.

13.    Termination. This Agreement shall terminate on the first to occur of (a) the distribution of all of the amounts in the Escrow Property in accordance with this Agreement or (b) delivery to the Escrow Agent of a written notice of termination executed jointly by the Parent and the Holder Representative after which this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect except that the provisions of Section 9 shall survive termination.

14.    Miscellaneous. The provisions of this Agreement may be waived, altered, amended or supplemented, in whole or in part, only by a writing signed by all of the parties hereto. Neither this Agreement nor any right or interest hereunder may be assigned in whole or in part by any party, except as provided in Section 7 and Section 17, without the prior consent of the other parties. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware. Each party irrevocably waives any objection on the grounds of venue, forum non-conveniens or any similar grounds and irrevocably consents to service of process by mail or in any other manner permitted by applicable law and consents to the jurisdiction of the courts located in the State of Delaware. The parties hereby waive any right to a trial by jury with respect to any lawsuit or judicial proceeding arising or relating to this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. All signatures of the parties to this Agreement may be transmitted by facsimile or electronic transmission in portable document format (.pdf), and such facsimile or .pdf will, for all purposes, be deemed to be the original signature of such party whose signature it reproduces, and will be binding upon such party. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be prohibited or unenforceable by reason of any applicable law of a jurisdiction, then such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions thereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in such jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provisions in any other jurisdiction. The Parties represent, warrant and covenant that each document, notice, instruction or request provided by such Party to the Escrow Agent shall comply with applicable laws and regulations. Where, however, the conflicting provisions of any such applicable law may be waived, they are hereby irrevocably waived by the parties hereto to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the end that this Agreement shall be enforced as written. Except as expressly provided in Section 8 and Section 9, nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall be construed to give to any person or entity other than the Escrow Agent and the Parties any legal or equitable right, remedy, interest or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any funds escrowed hereunder.

15.    Compliance with Court Orders. If any Escrow Property shall be attached, garnished or levied upon by any court order, or the delivery thereof shall be stayed or enjoined by an order of a court, or any order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court order affecting the Escrow Property deposited under this Agreement, the Escrow Agent is hereby expressly authorized, in its sole discretion, to obey and comply with all writs, orders or decrees so entered or issued, which it is advised by legal counsel of its own choosing is binding upon it, whether with or without jurisdiction, and in the event that the Escrow Agent obeys or complies with any such writ, order or decree in good faith it shall not be liable to any of the Parties or to any other Person, by reason of such compliance notwithstanding such writ, order or decree be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.

16.    Further Assurances. Following the date hereof, each party shall deliver to the other parties such further information and documents and shall execute and deliver to the other parties such further instruments and agreements as any other party shall reasonably request to consummate or confirm the transactions provided for herein, to accomplish the purpose hereof or to assure to any other party the benefits hereof.

17.    Assignment. No assignment of the interest of any of the Parties shall be binding upon the Escrow Agent unless and until written notice of such assignment is filed with and consented to by the Escrow Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). Any transfer or assignment of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder in violation of the terms hereof shall be void and of no force or effect. To comply with federal law including USA Patriot Act requirements, assignees shall provide to the Escrow Agent the appropriate form W-9 or W-8 as applicable and such other forms and documentation that the Escrow Agent may request to verify identification and authorization to act. In no event shall the Escrow Agent be obligated hereunder to (x) make any payments

Annex A-1-183

from the Escrow Property directly to any assignee of either Party of any rights under this Agreement, or (y) obey any written instructions delivered pursuant hereto from any assignee of any rights under this Agreement, unless, in the case of clauses (x) and (y), such assignee has become a Party to this Agreement.

18.    Force Majeure. The Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability for not performing any act or fulfilling any obligation hereunder by reason of any occurrence beyond its control (including, but not limited to, any provision of any present or future law or regulation or any act of any governmental authority, any act of God or war or terrorism, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire services or any electronic communication facility), it being understood that the Escrow Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as reasonably practicable under the circumstances.

19.    Compliance with Federal Law. To help the U.S. Government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities and to comply with Federal law requiring financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information on the source of funds deposited to an account, the Parties shall provide the Escrow Agent with the name, address, taxpayer identification number, and remitting bank for all Parties depositing funds at Citibank pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. For a non-individual person such as a business entity, a charity, a trust or other legal entity, the Escrow Agent will ask for documentation to verify its formation and existence as a legal entity. The Escrow Agent may also ask to see licenses, identification and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the entity or other relevant documentation.

20.    SEC Shareholder Disclosure Rule 14b-2. SEC Rule 14b-2 directs the Escrow Agent to contact either Party to request authorization to provide such Party’s name, address and share position with respect to the referenced account to requesting companies whose stock such Party has voting authority over. Under the Rule, the Escrow Agent must make the disclosures for accounts opened after December 28, 1986, if requested, unless a Party specifically objects to disclosure. Hence, failure to respond will be deemed consent to disclosure. The Escrow Agent thanks the Parties for assisting the Escrow Agent in complying with this SEC rule.

ESCROW AGREEMENT

THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of [•], 2020, by and among Forum Investors II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (the “Sponsor”), Tattooed Chef, Inc. (f/k/a Forum Merger II Corporation), a Delaware corporation, (the “Parent” and, together with the “Sponsor”, sometimes referred to individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”), and Citibank, N. A., as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of June 11, 2020, by and among (i) the Parent, (ii) Sprout Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, (iii) Myjojo, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and (iv) Salvatore Galletti, in his capacity as the initial Holder Representative thereunder.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Merger Agreement provides that, at the Closing, Sponsor shall deposit Two Million Five Hundred Thousand (2,500,000) shares of Parent Common Stock (the “Sponsor Shares”) into an escrow account (the “Sponsor Account”) to be held in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and this Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.      Appointment. The Parties hereby appoint the Escrow Agent as their escrow agent for the purposes set forth herein, and the Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to act as escrow agent in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein.

2.      Escrow Property.

(a) Simultaneous with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Sponsor is depositing, or causing to be deposited, with the Escrow Agent the Sponsor Shares, in book-entry form, to be held at Parent’s transfer agent in the name of the Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Shares”) into the Sponsor Account (the “Escrow Account”). The Escrow Agent hereby acknowledges receipt of the Escrow Shares. The Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Shares, including all interest, dividends, gains and other income paid or earned with respect thereto (including pursuant to or as a part of any merger, acquisition, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, reorganization or liquidation involving Parent or any of its subsidiaries) (collectively, the “Escrow Earnings”), if any, minus any payments or distributions made therefrom in accordance with this Agreement (collectively, the “Escrow Funds”), subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Escrow Agent agrees to hold and distribute the Escrow Funds and the Escrow Shares (collectively, the “Escrow Property”) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) For greater certainty, all Escrow Earnings shall be retained by the Escrow Agent and reinvested in the Escrow Funds and shall become part of the Escrow Funds; and shall be disbursed as part of the Escrow Funds in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

3.      Investment of Escrow Funds.

(a) Unless otherwise instructed in writing jointly by the Parties, the Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Funds in a “noninterest-bearing deposit account” insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) to the applicable limits. The Escrow Funds shall at all times remain available for distribution in accordance with Section 4.

(b) The Escrow Agent shall send an account statement to each of the Parties on a monthly basis reflecting activity in the Escrow Account for the preceding month.

(c) The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility for any investment losses resulting from the investment, reinvestment or liquidation of the escrowed property, as applicable, provided that the Escrow Agent has made such investment, reinvestment or liquidation of the escrowed property in accordance with the terms, and subject to the conditions of this Agreement.

(ii) Upon receipt by the Escrow Agent of a copy of a Final Determination from any Party, the Escrow Agent shall, on the fifth (5th) Business Day following receipt by the Escrow Agent of the Final Determination, disburse as directed, part or all, as the case may be, of the Escrow Property in accordance with such Final Determination.

(iii) All payments of any part of the Escrow Funds shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds or check as set forth in the Joint Release Instruction or Final Determination, as applicable.

(iv) Any instructions setting forth, claiming, containing, objecting to, or in any way related to the transfer or distribution of any funds on deposit in any Escrow Account under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing, executed by the appropriate Party or Parties as evidenced by the signatures of the person or persons set forth on Exhibit A-1 and Exhibit A-2 and delivered to the Escrow Agent either (i) by confirmed facsimile only at the fax number set forth in Section 12 or (ii) attached to an e-mail received on a Business Day from an e-mail address set forth in Section 12. If a Joint Release Instruction or Final Determination is delivered to the Escrow Agent, whether in writing, by email or otherwise, the Escrow Agent is authorized to seek confirmation of such instruction by telephone call back to the person or persons designated in Exhibits A-1 and or A-2 annexed hereto (the “Call Back Authorized Individuals”), and the Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmations of anyone purporting to be a Call Back Authorized Individual. To assure accuracy of the instructions it receives, the Escrow Agent may record such call backs. If the Escrow Agent is unable to verify the instructions, or is not satisfied with the verification it receives, it will not execute the instruction until all such issues have been resolved. The persons and telephone numbers for call backs may be changed only in writing, executed by an authorized signer of applicable Party set forth on Exhibit A-1 or Exhibit A-2, actually received and acknowledged by the Escrow Agent.

(iii) “Joint Release Instruction” means the joint written instruction executed by an authorized signer of each of the Sponsor and the Parent directing the Escrow Agent to disburse all or a portion of the Escrow Property, as applicable.

(iv) “Parent Common Stock” means (i) prior to the Closing, 100,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (par value $0.0001 per share) and 10,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock (par value $0.0001 per share) and (ii) at and after the Closing, the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Parent.

6.      Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth herein, which shall be deemed purely ministerial in nature, and no other duties, including but not limited to any fiduciary duty, shall be implied. The Escrow Agent shall neither be responsible for, nor chargeable with, knowledge of, nor have any requirements to comply with, the terms and conditions of any other agreement, instrument or document between the Parties, in connection herewith, if any, including without limitation the Merger Agreement, nor shall the Escrow Agent be required to determine if any Person has complied with any such agreements, nor shall any additional obligations of the Escrow Agent be inferred from the terms of such agreements, even though reference thereto may be made in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the terms of any other agreement between the Parties, the terms and conditions of this Agreement will control the actions of the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent may rely upon and shall not be liable for acting or refraining from acting upon any Joint Release Instruction or Final Determination furnished to it hereunder and reasonably believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed and presented by an authorized signer of the proper Party or Parties. Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, the Parties shall deliver to the Escrow Agent authorized signers’ forms in the form of Exhibit A-1 and Exhibit A-2. The Escrow Agent shall be under no duty to inquire into or investigate the validity, accuracy or content of any such document, notice, instruction or request; provided, however, that the Escrow Agent may not act upon instruction by either the Sponsor or the Parent alone where Joint Written Instruction is required as provided hereunder. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to solicit any payments which may be due it or the Escrow Property. In the event that the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions, claims or demands from either Party hereto which, in its opinion, conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, it shall be entitled to (a) refrain from taking any action and its sole obligation shall be to keep safely all property held in escrow until it shall be directed otherwise in a Joint Release Instruction or Final Determination or (b) interplead all of the assets held hereunder into, or may seek other judicial relief or orders from, a court of competent jurisdiction, and the Escrow Agent shall act in accordance with any such judicial relief or court order. The Escrow Agent may consult with legal counsel of its selection in the event of any dispute or question as to the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof or its duties hereunder. The Escrow Agent will not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith except to the extent that the Escrow Agent’s fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct was the direct cause of any loss to either Party. To the extent practicable, the Parties agree to pursue commercially reasonable redress or recourse in connection with any dispute without making the Escrow Agent a party to the same. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, except in the case of the Escrow Agent’s fraud, in no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable, for any special, indirect, punitive, incidental or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Escrow Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such losses or damages and regardless of the form of action.

7.      Resignation and Removal of Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent (a) may resign and be discharged from its duties or obligations hereunder by giving thirty (30) calendar days’ advance notice in writing of such resignation to the Parties specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect or (b) may be removed, with or without cause, by the Sponsor and the Parent acting jointly at any time by providing written notice to the Escrow Agent. Any corporation or association into which the Escrow Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or association to which all or substantially all of the escrow business of the Escrow Agent’s line of business may be transferred, shall be the Escrow Agent under this Agreement without further act; provided, however, that the Escrow Agent shall give the Parties thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any such change. The Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility after such thirty (30) day notice period expires or after receipt of written notice of removal shall be to hold and safeguard the Escrow Property (without any obligation to reinvest the same) and to deliver the same (i) to a substitute or successor escrow agent pursuant to a joint written designation from the Parties, (ii) as set forth in a Joint Release Instruction or (iii) in accordance with the directions of a Final Determination, and, at the time of such delivery, the Escrow Agent’s obligations hereunder shall cease and terminate. In the event the Escrow Agent resigns, if the Parties have failed to appoint a successor escrow agent prior to the expiration of thirty (30) calendar days following receipt of the notice of resignation, the Escrow Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of such a successor escrow agent (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be a comparable nationally recognized financial institution), and any such resulting appointment shall be binding upon all of the parties hereto.

Annex A-1-194

8.      Fees and Expenses. All fees and expenses, if any, of the Escrow Agent are described in Schedule 1 and shall be paid by the Parent. The fees agreed upon for the services to be rendered hereunder are intended as full compensation for the Escrow Agent services as contemplated by this Agreement.

9.      Indemnity. Each of the Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend , and hold harmless the Escrow Agent and its affiliates and their respective successors, assigns, directors, officers, agents and employees (the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, liabilities, penalties, judgments, settlements, actions, suits, proceedings, litigation, investigations, costs or expenses (including the documented and reasonable fees and expenses of one outside counsel and experts) (collectively “Escrow Agent Losses”) arising out of or in connection with (a) the Escrow Agent’s execution and performance of this Agreement, tax reporting or withholding, the enforcement of any rights or remedies under or in connection with this Agreement, or as may arise by reason of any act, omission or error of the Indemnitee, except to the extent that such Escrow Agent Losses, as adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction, have been caused by the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, or (b) the Escrow Agent is following any instructions or other directions from the Sponsor or the Parent, except to the extent the Escrow Agent following any such instruction or direction is forbidden by the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Sponsor and the Parent agree, solely as between themselves, that any obligation for indemnification under this Section 9 (or for reasonable fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent described in Section 8) shall be borne by the Party or Parties determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be responsible for causing the loss, damage, liability, cost or expense against which the Escrow Agent is entitled to indemnification or, if no such determination is made, then one-half by the Sponsor and one-half by the Parent. The Parties hereto acknowledge that the foregoing indemnities shall survive the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent or the termination of this Agreement.

10.    Tax Matters.

(a) The Sponsor shall be responsible for and the taxpayer on all taxes due on the interest or income earned on the Escrow Property and for any dividends earned on the Escrow Shares for the calendar year in which such interest or income is earned, if any. The Escrow Agent shall report any interest or income earned on the Escrow Property to the IRS or other taxing authority on IRS Form 1099. Prior to the date hereof, the Parties shall provide the Escrow Agent with certified tax identification numbers by furnishing appropriate form W-9 and such other forms and documents that the Escrow Agent may request.

(b) The Escrow Agent shall be responsible only for income reporting to the Internal Revenue Service with respect to income (if any) earned on the Escrow Funds. The Escrow Agent shall timely prepare and timely file all appropriate tax or other information reporting with respect to the Escrow Property as is required by applicable law. The Escrow Agent shall withhold any taxes required to be withheld by applicable law, including but not limited to required withholding in the absence of proper tax documentation, and shall remit such taxes to the appropriate authorities.

(c) The Escrow Agent, its affiliates, and its employees are not in the business of providing tax or legal advice to any taxpayer outside of Citigroup, Inc. and its affiliates. This Agreement and any amendments or attachments hereto are not intended or written to be used, and may not be used or relied upon, by any such taxpayer or for the purpose of avoiding tax penalties. Any such taxpayer should seek advice based on the taxpayer’s particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.

11.    Covenant of Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent hereby agrees with and covenants to the Sponsor and the Parent that it shall perform all of its obligations under this Agreement and shall not deliver custody or possession of any of the Escrow Property to anyone except pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement or as otherwise required by law.

The Parties represent, warrant and covenant that each document, notice, instruction or request provided by such Party to the Escrow Agent shall comply with applicable laws and regulations. Where, however, the conflicting provisions of any such applicable law may be waived, they are hereby irrevocably waived by the parties hereto to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the end that this Agreement shall be enforced as written. Except as expressly provided in Section 8 and Section 9, nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall be construed to give to any person or entity other than the Escrow Agent and the Parties any legal or equitable right, remedy, interest or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any funds escrowed hereunder.

15.    Compliance with Court Orders. If any Escrow Property shall be attached, garnished or levied upon by any court order, or the delivery thereof shall be stayed or enjoined by an order of a court, or any order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court order affecting the Escrow Property deposited under this Agreement, the Escrow Agent is hereby expressly authorized, in its sole discretion, to obey and comply with all writs, orders or decrees so entered or issued, which it is advised by legal counsel of its own choosing is binding upon it, whether with or without jurisdiction, and in the event that the Escrow Agent obeys or complies with any such writ, order or decree in good faith it shall not be liable to any of the Parties or to any other Person, by reason of such compliance notwithstanding such writ, order or decree be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.

16.    Further Assurances.

17.    Assignment.

To comply with federal law including USA Patriot Act requirements, assignees shall provide to the Escrow Agent the appropriate form W-9 or W-8 as applicable and such other forms and documentation that the Escrow Agent may request to verify identification and authorization to act.

Annex A-1-197

from the Escrow Property directly to any assignee of either Party of any rights under this Agreement, or (y) obey any written instructions delivered pursuant hereto from any assignee of any rights under this Agreement, unless, in the case of clauses (x) and (y), such assignee has become a Party to this Agreement.

18.    Force Majeure. The Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability for not performing any act or fulfilling any obligation hereunder by reason of any occurrence beyond its control (including, but not limited to, any provision of any present or future law or regulation or any act of any governmental authority, any act of God or war or terrorism, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire services or any electronic communication facility), it being understood that the Escrow Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as reasonably practicable under the circumstances.

The Escrow Agent may also ask to see licenses, identification and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the entity or other relevant documentation.

20.    SEC Shareholder Disclosure Rule 14b-2. SEC Rule 14b-2 directs the Escrow Agent to contact either Party to request authorization to provide such Party’s name, address and share position with respect to the referenced account to requesting companies whose stock such Party has voting authority over. Under the Rule, the Escrow Agent must make the disclosures for accounts opened after December 28, 1986, if requested, unless a Party specifically objects to disclosure.

OF
FORUM MERGER II CORPORATION

The undersigned, being a duly authorized officer of Forum Merger II Corporation (the “Corporation”), a corporation existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, does hereby certify as follows:

1.      The name of the Corporation is “Forum Merger II Corporation”.

2.      The Corporation’s original certificate of incorporation was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on May 4, 2018 (the “Original Certificate”). An amended and restated certificate of incorporation was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on August 2, 2018. An amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate was filed with the State of Delaware on February 7, 2020 (as amended, the “Amended and Restated Certificate”).

3.      This Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate (this “Amendment”) amends the Amended and Restated Certificate.

4.      This Amendment was duly adopted by the affirmative vote of the holders of 65% of the stock entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders in accordance with the provisions of Section 242 the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

5.      This Amendment shall become effective on the date of filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

6.      The text of Section 9.1(b) of Article IX of the Amended and Restated Certificate is hereby amended and restated to read in full as follows:

“(b) Immediately after the Offering, a certain amount of the net offering proceeds received by the Corporation in the Offering (including the proceeds of any exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option) and certain other amounts specified in the Corporation’s registration statement on Form S-l, as initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 6, 2018, as amended (the “Registration Statement”), shall be deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), established for the benefit of the Public Stockholders (as defined below) pursuant to a trust agreement described in the Registration Statement. Except for the withdrawal of interest to pay franchise and income taxes, none of the funds held in the Trust Account (including the interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account) will be released from the Trust Account until the earliest to occur of (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of 100% of the Offering Shares (as defined below) if the Corporation is unable to complete its initial Business Combination by September 30, 2020 and (iii) the redemption of shares in connection with a vote seeking to amend any provisions of the Amended and Restated Certificate relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity (as described in Section 9.7). Holders of shares of Common Stock included as part of the units sold in the Offering (the “Offering Shares”) (whether such Offering Shares were purchased in the Offering or in the secondary market following the Offering and whether or not such holders are the Sponsor or officers or directors of the Corporation, or affiliates of any of the foregoing) are referred to herein as “Public Stockholders.

7.      The text of Section 9.2(d) of Section IX of the Amended and Restated Certificate is hereby amended and restated to read in full as follows:

“(d) In the event that the Corporation has not consummated an initial Business Combination by September 30, 2020, the Corporation shall (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the Offering Shares in consideration of a per-share price, payable

Annex B-1

in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to the Corporation to pay its franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), by (B) the total number of then outstanding Offering Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the Public Stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Board in accordance with applicable law, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Corporation’s obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law.”

8.      The text of Section 9.7 of Article IX of the Amended and Restated Certificate is hereby amended and restated to read in full as follows:

“Section 9.7. Additional Redemption Rights. If, in accordance with Section 9.1(a), any amendment is made to Section 9.2(d) to modify the substance or timing of the Corporation’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares if the Corporation has not consummated an initial Business Combination by September 30, 2020, the Public Stockholders shall be provided with the opportunity to redeem their Offering Shares upon the approval of any such amendment, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to the Corporation to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Offering Shares; provided, however, that any such amendment will be voided, and this Article IX will remain unchanged, if any stockholders who wish to redeem are unable to redeem due to the Redemption Limitation.”

III.

The purpose of the Company is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which a corporation may be organized under the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”).

IV.

A. The Company is authorized to issue two classes of stock to be designated, respectively, “Common Stock” and “Preferred Stock.” The total number of shares which the Company is authorized to issue is 1,010,000,000 shares. 1,000,000,000 shares shall be Common Stock, each having a par value of one-hundredth of one cent ($0.0001). 10,000,000 shares shall be Preferred Stock, each having a par value of one-hundredth of one cent ($0.0001).

B. Effective immediately upon the filing and effectiveness of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Effective Time”), each share of the Company’s Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”), that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be reclassified, redesignated and changed into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”).

C. The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series.

The Board of Directors is also expressly authorized to increase or decrease the number of shares of any series subsequent to the issuance of shares of that series, but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding. In case the number of shares of any series shall be decreased in accordance with the foregoing sentence, the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status that they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series. The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the

Annex C-1

affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the stock of the Company entitled to vote thereon, without a separate vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock, or of any series thereof, unless a vote of any such holders is required pursuant to the terms of any certificate of designation filed with respect to any series of Preferred Stock.

D. Each outstanding share of Common Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote on each matter properly submitted to the stockholders of the Company for their vote; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by law, holders of Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation filed with respect to any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together as a class with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon by law or pursuant to this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation filed with respect to any series of Preferred Stock).

V.

A.

1. DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS. For the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Company, and in further definition, limitation and regulation of the powers of the Company, of its directors and of its stockholders or any class thereof, as the case may be, it is further provided that the management of the business and the conduct of the affairs of the Company shall be vested in the Board of Directors. Subject to the applicable requirements of the Director Nomination Agreement, dated as of June 11, 2020 (as the same may be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Nomination Agreement”), the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be fixed exclusively by resolutions adopted by a majority of the authorized number of directors constituting the Board of Directors.

2. BOARD OF DIRECTORS. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, the directors shall be divided into three classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, respectively. The Board of Directors is authorized to assign members of the Board of Directors already in office to such classes at the time the classification becomes effective. At the first annual meeting of stockholders following the initial classification of the Board of Directors, the term of office of the Class I directors shall expire and Class I directors shall be elected for a full term of three years.

Section 5. Annual Meeting.

(a) The annual meeting of the stockholders of the corporation, for the purpose of election of directors and for such other business as may properly come before it, shall be held on such date and at such time as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the corporation and the proposal of business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders: (i) as provided in the Director Nomination Agreement, dated as of June 11, 2020 (as the same may be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Nomination Agreement”) (with respect to nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors only), (ii) pursuant to the corporation’s notice of meeting of stockholders (with respect to business other than nominations); (iii) brought specifically by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or any authorized committee thereof; or (iv) by any stockholder of the corporation who was a stockholder of record at the time of giving the stockholder’s notice provided for in Section 5(b), who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complied with the notice procedures set forth in Section 5. For the avoidance of doubt, clauses (i) and (iv) above shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations and submit other business (other than matters properly included in the corporation’s notice of meeting of stockholders and proxy statement under Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “1934 Act”)) before an annual meeting of stockholders.

(b) At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as is a proper matter for stockholder action under Delaware law and as shall have been properly brought before the meeting.

(1) For nominations for the election to the Board of Directors to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (iv) of Section 5(a), the stockholder must deliver written notice to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation on a timely basis as set forth in Section 5(b)(3) and

The corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as an independent director of the corporation or that could be material to a reasonable stockholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such proposed nominee.

(2) Other than proposals sought to be included in the corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to Rule 14(a)-8 under the 1934 Act, for business other than nominations for the election to the Board of Directors to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (iv) of Section 5(a), the stockholder must deliver written notice to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation on a timely basis as set forth in Section 5(b)(3), and must update and supplement such written notice on a timely basis as set forth in Section 5(c). Such stockholder’s notice shall set forth: (A) as to each matter such stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting, and any material interest (including any anticipated benefit of such business to any Proponent (as defined below) other than solely as a result of its ownership of the corporation’s capital stock, that is material to any Proponent individually, or to the Proponents in the aggregate) in such business of any Proponent; and (B) the information required by Section 5(b)(4).

In no event shall an adjournment or a postponement of an annual meeting for which notice has been given, or the public announcement thereof has been made, commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

(4) The written notice required by Section 5(b)(1) or Section 5(b)(2) shall also set forth, as of the date of the notice and as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (each, a “Proponent” and collectively, the “Proponents”): (A) the name and address of each Proponent, as they appear on the corporation’s books; (B) the class, series and number of shares of the corporation that are owned beneficially and of record by each Proponent; (C) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether oral or in writing) with respect to such nomination or proposal between or among any Proponent and any of its affiliates or associates, and any others (including their names) acting in concert, or otherwise under the agreement, arrangement or understanding, with any of the foregoing; (D) a representation that the Proponents are holders of record or beneficial owners, as the case may be, of shares of the corporation entitled to vote at the meeting and intend to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice (with respect to a notice under Section 5(b)(1)) or to propose the business that is specified in the notice (with respect to a notice under Section 5(b)(2)); (E) a representation as to whether the Proponents intend to deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of a sufficient number of holders of the corporation’s voting shares to elect such nominee or nominees (with respect to a notice under Section 5(b)(1)) or to carry such proposal (with respect to a notice under Section 5(b)(2)); (F) to the extent known by any Proponent, the name and address of any other stockholder supporting the proposal on the date

In the case of an update and supplement pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 5(c), such update and supplement shall be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than five (5) business days after the record date for the meeting. In the case of an update and supplement pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 5(c), such update and supplement shall be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than two (2) business days prior to the date for the meeting, and, in the event of any adjournment or postponement thereof, two (2) business days prior to such adjourned or postponed meeting.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in Section 5(b)(3) to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors in an Expiring Class is increased and there is no public announcement of the appointment of a director to such class, or, if no appointment was made, of the vacancy in such class, made by the corporation at least ten (10) days before the last day a stockholder may deliver a notice of nomination in accordance with Section 5(b)(3), a stockholder’s notice required by this Section 5 and which complies with the requirements in Section 5(b)(1), other than the timing requirements in Section 5(b)(3), shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions in such Expiring Class created by such increase, if it is received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the corporation. For purposes of this section, an “Expiring Class” means a class of directors whose term shall expire at the next annual meeting of stockholders.

(e) A person shall not be eligible for election or re-election as a director unless the person is nominated either in accordance with clause (iii) of Section 5(a), or in accordance with clause (iv) of Section 5(a). Except as otherwise required by law, the chairperson of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made, or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in these Bylaws and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with these Bylaws, or the Proponent does not act in accordance with the representations in clauses (D) and (E) of Section 5(b)(4), to declare that such proposal or nomination shall not be presented for stockholder action at the meeting and shall be disregarded, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such nominations or such business may have been solicited or received.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5, in order to include information with respect to a stockholder proposal in the proxy statement and form of proxy for a stockholders’ meeting, a stockholder must also comply with all applicable requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. Nothing in these Bylaws shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the 1934 Act; provided, however, that any references in these Bylaws to the 1934 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit the requirements applicable to proposals and/or nominations to be considered pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 5(a).

(g) For purposes of Section 5 and Section 6,

Section 6. Special Meetings.

(a) Special meetings of the stockholders of the corporation may be called only in the manner provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, as the same may be amended from time to time.

(b) The Board of Directors shall determine the time and place, if any, of such special meeting. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that special meetings of the stockholders shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication as described in Section 14(c). Upon determination of the time and place, if any, of the meeting, the Secretary shall cause a notice of meeting to be given to the stockholders entitled to vote, in accordance with the provisions of Section 7. No business may be transacted at such special meeting otherwise than specified in the notice of meeting. The Board of Directors may postpone, reschedule or cancel any special meeting of the stockholders previously scheduled by the Chairperson of the Board of Directors or by the Board of Directors.

(c) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected (i) as provided in the Nomination Agreement, (ii) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (iii) provided that the Board of Directors has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any stockholder of the corporation who is a stockholder of record at the time of giving notice provided for in this paragraph, who shall be entitled to vote at the meeting and who delivers written notice to the Secretary of the corporation setting forth the information required by Section 5(b)(1). If the corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board of Directors, any such stockholder of record may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be), for election to such position(s) as specified in the corporation’s notice of meeting, if written notice setting forth the information required by Section 5(b)(1) shall be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting. The stockholder shall also update and supplement such information as required under Section 5(c). In no event shall an adjournment or a postponement of a special meeting for which notice has been given, or the public announcement thereof has been made, commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6, a stockholder must also comply with all applicable requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to matters set forth in this Section 6. Nothing in these Bylaws shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the 1934 Act; provided, however, that any references in these Bylaws to the 1934 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit the requirements applicable to nominations for the election to the Board of Directors to be considered pursuant to Section 6(c).

Section 7. Notice of Meetings. Except as otherwise provided by law, notice, given in writing or by electronic transmission, of each meeting of stockholders shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting, such notice to specify the place, if

Annex D-4

any, date and hour, in the case of special meetings, the purpose or purposes of the meeting, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at any such meeting. If mailed, notice is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at such stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the corporation. Notice of the time, place, if any, and purpose of any meeting of stockholders may be waived in writing, signed by the person entitled to notice thereof or by electronic transmission by such person, either before or after such meeting, and will be waived by any stockholder by his or her attendance thereat in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by proxy, except when the stockholder attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Any stockholder so waiving notice of such meeting shall be bound by the proceedings of any such meeting in all respects as if due notice thereof had been given.

Section 8. Quorum. At all meetings of stockholders, except where otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation, or by these Bylaws, the presence, in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by proxy duly authorized, of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. In the absence of a quorum, any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned, from time to time, either by the chairperson of the meeting or by vote of the holders of a majority of voting power of the shares represented thereat, but no other business shall be transacted at such meeting. The stockholders present at a duly called or convened meeting, at which a quorum is present, may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. Except as otherwise provided by statute or by applicable stock exchange rules, or by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of the majority of the voting power of the shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy duly authorized at the meeting and entitled to vote generally on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders. Except as otherwise provided by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote generally on the election of directors. Where a separate vote by a class or classes or series is required, except where otherwise provided by statute, by applicable stock exchange rules or by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of such class or classes or series, present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy duly authorized, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter. Except where otherwise provided by statute, by applicable stock exchange rules or by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the affirmative vote of the majority (plurality, in the case of the election of directors) of shares of such class or classes or series present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the meeting shall be the act of such class or classes or series.

Section 9. Adjournment and Notice of Adjourned Meetings. Any meeting of stockholders, whether annual or special, may be adjourned from time to time either by the chairperson of the meeting or by the vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the meeting. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, if any, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place, if any, thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

Section 10. Voting Rights. For the purpose of determining those stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of the stockholders, except as otherwise provided by law, only persons in whose names shares stand on the stock records of the corporation on the record date, as provided in Section 12, shall be entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders. Every person entitled to vote shall have the right to do so either in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by an agent or agents authorized by a proxy granted in accordance with Delaware law. An agent so appointed need not be a stockholder. No proxy shall be voted after three (3) years from its date of creation unless the proxy provides for a longer period.

Section 11. Joint Owners of Stock. If shares or other securities having voting power stand of record in the names of two (2) or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants in common, tenants by the entirety, or otherwise, or if two (2) or more persons have the same fiduciary relationship respecting the

Annex D-5

same shares, unless the Secretary is given written notice to the contrary and is furnished with a copy of the instrument or order appointing them or creating the relationship wherein it is so provided, their acts with respect to voting shall have the following effect: (a) if only one (1) votes, his or her act binds all; (b) if more than one (1) votes, the act of the majority so voting binds all; (c) if more than one (1) votes, but the vote is evenly split on any particular matter, each faction may vote the securities in question proportionally, or may apply to the Delaware Court of Chancery for relief as provided in the DGCL, Section 217(b). If the instrument filed with the Secretary shows that any such tenancy is held in unequal interests, a majority or even-split for the purpose of subsection (c) shall be a majority or even-split in interest.

Section 12. List of Stockholders. The Secretary shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at said meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (b) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the corporation. If the corporation makes the list available on an electronic network, the corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the corporation. The list shall be open to examination of any stockholder during the time of the meeting as provided by law.

Section 13. Action Without Meeting. No action shall be taken by the stockholders except at an annual or special meeting of stockholders called in accordance with these Bylaws. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, no action shall be taken by the stockholders by written consent or by electronic transmission.

Section 14. Organization.

(a) At every meeting of stockholders, the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, or, if a Chairperson has not been appointed or is absent, the Chief Executive Officer, or, if the Chief Executive Officer is absent, the President, or, if the President is absent, a chairperson of the meeting chosen by a majority in interest of the stockholders entitled to vote, present in person or by proxy, shall act as chairperson. The Secretary, or, in his or her absence, an Assistant Secretary directed to do so by the Chief Executive Officer or the President, shall act as secretary of the meeting.

(b) The Board of Directors shall be entitled to make such rules or regulations for the conduct of meetings of stockholders as it shall deem necessary, appropriate or convenient. Subject to such rules and regulations of the Board of Directors, if any, the chairperson of the meeting shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairperson, are necessary, appropriate or convenient for the proper conduct of the meeting, including, without limitation, establishing an agenda or order of business for the meeting, rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present, limitations on participation in such meeting to stockholders of record of the corporation and their duly authorized and constituted proxies and such other persons as the chairperson shall permit, restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof, limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants and regulation of the opening and closing of the polls for balloting on matters which are to be voted on by ballot. The date and time of the opening and closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at the meeting shall be announced at the meeting. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board of Directors or the chairperson of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with rules of parliamentary procedure.

(c) If authorized by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, and subject to such guidelines and procedures as the Board of Directors may adopt, stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting and proxy holders not physically present at a meeting of stockholders may, by means of remote communication: (i) participate in a meeting of stockholders; and (ii) be deemed to be present in person and vote at a meeting of stockholders, whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication; provided, that (A) the corporation shall implement reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a stockholder or proxy holder, (B) the corporation shall implement reasonable measures to provide such stockholders and proxy holders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the stockholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with such proceedings, and (C) if any stockholder or proxy holder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communication, a record of such votes or other action shall be maintained by the corporation.

Annex D-6

ARTICLE IV
DIRECTORS

Section 15. Number and Term of Office. The authorized number of directors of the corporation shall be fixed in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation. Directors need not be stockholders unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation. If for any cause, the directors shall not have been elected at an annual meeting, they may be elected as soon thereafter as convenient at a special meeting of the stockholders called for that purpose in the manner provided in these Bylaws.

Section 16. Powers. The business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors, except as may be otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation.

Section 17. Classes of Directors. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, following the adoption of these Bylaws, the directors shall be divided into three classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, respectively. The Board of Directors is authorized to assign members of the Board of Directors already in office to such classes at the time the classification becomes effective. At the first annual meeting of stockholders following the adoption of these Bylaws, the term of office of the Class I directors shall expire and Class I directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At the second annual meeting of stockholders following the adoption of these Bylaws, the term of office of the Class II directors shall expire and Class II directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At the third annual meeting of stockholders following the adoption of these Bylaws, the term of office of the Class III directors shall expire and Class III directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders, directors shall be elected for a full term of three years to succeed the directors of the class whose terms expire at such annual meeting.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 17, each director shall serve until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

Section 18. Vacancies. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, and subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock or as otherwise provided by applicable law or in the Nomination Agreement, any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other causes and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors shall be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, or by a sole remaining director, and not by the stockholders, provided, however, that whenever the holders of any class or classes of stock or series thereof are entitled to elect one or more directors by the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or the Nomination Agreement, vacancies and newly created directorships of such class or classes or series shall be filled by a majority of the directors elected by such class or classes or series thereof then in office, or by a sole remaining director so elected, and not by the stockholders. Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the director for which the vacancy was created or occurred and until such director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified. A vacancy in the Board of Directors shall be deemed to exist under this Bylaw in the case of the death, removal or resignation of any director.

Section 19. Resignation. Any director may resign at any time by delivering his or her notice in writing or by electronic transmission to the Secretary, such resignation to specify whether it will be effective at a particular time. If no such specification is made, the Secretary, in his or her discretion, may either (a) require confirmation from the director prior to deeming the resignation effective, in which case the resignation will be deemed effective upon receipt of such confirmation, or (b) deem the resignation effective at the time of delivery of the resignation to the Secretary. When one or more directors shall resign from the Board of Directors, effective at a future date, a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, shall have power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become effective, and each director so chosen shall hold office for the unexpired portion of the term of the director whose place shall be vacated and until his successor shall have been duly elected and qualified.

Section 20. Removal. Subject to any limitation imposed by applicable law and to the rights of holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, any individual director or directors may only be removed from office with cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least at least 85% of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote generally at an election of directors; provided, that at any time when the Founder Parties (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation)

Annex D-7

beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than a majority of the total voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote generally at an election of directors, subject to any limitations imposed by applicable law, any individual director or directors may be removed with cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote generally at an election of directors. Directors shall not be removed without cause pursuant to this Section 20.

If notice is sent by US mail, it shall be sent by first class mail, postage prepaid at least three (3) days before the date of the meeting. Notice of any meeting may be waived in writing or by electronic transmission at any time before or after the meeting and will be waived by any director by attendance thereat, except when the director attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

(e) Waiver of Notice. The transaction of all business at any meeting of the Board of Directors, or any committee thereof, however called or noticed, or wherever held, shall be as valid as though it had been transacted at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum be present and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the directors not present who did not receive notice shall sign a written waiver of notice or shall waive notice by electronic transmission. All such waivers shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting.

(b) At each meeting of the Board of Directors at which a quorum is present, all questions and business shall be determined by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present, unless a different vote be required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws.

Section 23. Action Without Meeting. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting, if all members of the Board of Directors or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission, and such writing or writings or transmission or transmissions

Annex D-8

are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or committee. Such filing shall be in paper form if the minutes are maintained in paper form and shall be in electronic form if the minutes are maintained in electronic form.

Section 24. Fees and Compensation. Directors shall be entitled to such compensation for their services as may be approved by the Board of Directors, including, if so approved, by resolution of the Board of Directors, a fixed sum and expenses of attendance, if any, for attendance at each regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors and at any meeting of a committee of the Board of Directors. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to preclude any director from serving the corporation in any other capacity as an officer, agent, employee, or otherwise and receiving compensation therefor.

Section 25. Committees.

The Board of Directors, subject to any requirements of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock and the provisions of Section 25(a) or Section 25(b) may at any time increase or decrease the number of members of a committee or terminate the existence of a committee. The membership of a committee member shall terminate on the date of his death or voluntary resignation from the committee or from the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may at any time for any reason remove any individual committee member and the Board of Directors may fill any committee vacancy created by death, resignation, removal or increase in the number of members of the committee.

ARTICLE XI
INDEMNIFICATION

Section 44. Indemnification of Directors, Officers, Employees and Other Agents.

(a) Directors and Officers. The corporation shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by the DGCL or any other applicable law; provided, however, that the corporation may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with its directors and officers; and, provided, further, that the corporation shall not be required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless (i) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law, (ii) the proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the corporation, (iii) such indemnification is provided by the corporation, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the corporation under the DGCL or any other applicable law or (iv) such indemnification is required to be made under Section 44(d).

(b) Employees and other Agents. The corporation shall have power to indemnify its employees and other agents as set forth in the DGCL or any other applicable law. The Board of Directors shall have the power to delegate the determination of whether indemnification shall be given to any such person as the Board of Directors shall determine.

(c) Expenses. The corporation shall advance to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer, of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request therefor, all expenses incurred by any director or officer in connection with such proceeding provided, however, that if the DGCL requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a “final adjudication”) that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section 44 or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise determined pursuant to Section 44(e), no advance shall be made by the corporation to an officer of the corporation (except by reason of the fact that such officer is or was a director of the corporation in which event this sentence shall not apply) in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made (i) by a majority vote of directors who were not parties to the proceeding, even if not a quorum, or (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no such directors, or such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.

(d) Enforcement. Without the necessity of entering into an express contract, all rights to indemnification and advances to directors and officers under this Section 44 shall be deemed to be contractual rights and be effective to the same extent and as if provided for in a contract between the corporation and the director or officer. Any right to indemnification or advances granted by this Section 44 to a director or officer shall be enforceable by or on behalf of the person holding such right in any court of competent jurisdiction if (i) the claim for indemnification or advances is denied, in whole or in part, or (ii) no disposition of such claim is made within ninety (90) days of request therefor. To the extent permitted by law, the claimant in such enforcement action, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting the claim. In connection with any claim for indemnification, the corporation shall be entitled to raise as a defense to any such action that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct that make it permissible under the DGCL or any other applicable law for the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed. In connection with any claim by an officer of the corporation (except in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such officer

Annex D-14

is or was a director of the corporation) for advances, the corporation shall be entitled to raise a defense as to any such action clear and convincing evidence that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or with respect to any criminal action or proceeding that such person acted without reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL or any other applicable law, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. In any suit brought by a director or officer to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, the burden of proving that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Section 44 or otherwise shall be on the corporation.

(e) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this Section 44 shall not be exclusive of any other right which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any applicable statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office. The corporation is specifically authorized to enter into individual contracts with any or all of its directors, officers, employees or agents respecting indemnification and advances, to the fullest extent not prohibited by the DGCL or any other applicable law.

(f) Survival of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this Section 44 shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or other agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

(g) Insurance. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL or any other applicable law, the corporation, upon approval by the Board of Directors, may purchase insurance on behalf of any person required or permitted to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 44.

(h) Amendments. Any repeal or modification of this Section 44 shall only be prospective and shall not affect the rights under this Section 44 in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that is the cause of any proceeding against any agent of the corporation.

(i) Saving Clause. If this Section 44 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each director and officer to the full extent not prohibited by any applicable portion of this Section 44 that shall not have been invalidated, or by any other applicable law. If this Section 44 is invalid due to the application of the indemnification provisions of another jurisdiction, then the corporation shall indemnify each director and executive officer to the full extent under any other applicable law.

(j) Certain Definitions. For the purposes of this Section 44, the following definitions shall apply:

(1) The term “proceeding” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, the investigation, preparation, prosecution, defense, settlement, arbitration and appeal of, and the giving of testimony in, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative.

(2) The term “expenses” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, court costs, attorneys’ fees, witness fees, fines, amounts paid in settlement or judgment and any other costs and expenses of any nature or kind incurred in connection with any proceeding.

(3) The term the “corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Section 44 with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

Annex D-15

(4) References to a “director,” “executive officer,” “officer,” “employee,” or “agent” of the corporation shall include, without limitation, situations where such person is serving at the request of the corporation as, respectively, a director, executive officer, officer, employee, trustee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

(5) References to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the corporation” as referred to in this section.

Any action or meeting which shall be taken or held without notice to any such person with whom communication is unlawful shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. In the event that the action taken by the corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate under any provision of the DGCL, the certificate shall state, if such is the fact and if notice is required, that notice was given to all persons entitled to receive notice except such persons with whom communication is unlawful.

However, the fact that a Committee member fails to qualify as an Eligible Director shall not invalidate any Award granted by the Committee that is otherwise validly granted under the Plan.

(c)     The Committee may delegate to one or more officers of the Company or any Affiliate the authority to act on behalf of the Committee with respect to any matter, right, obligation, or election that is the responsibility of or that is allocated to the Committee herein, and that may be so delegated as a matter of law, except for grants of Awards to persons subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

(d)    Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, all designations, determinations, interpretations, and other decisions under or with respect to the Plan or any Award or any documents evidencing Awards granted pursuant to the Plan shall be within the sole discretion of the Committee, may be made at any time and shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all persons or entities, including, without limitation, the Company, any Affiliate, any Participant, any holder or beneficiary of any Award, and any shareholder of the Company.

(e)     No member of the Board, the Committee, delegate of the Committee or any employee or agent of the Company (each such person, an “Indemnifiable Person”) shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken or any determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award hereunder. Each Indemnifiable Person shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from any loss, cost, liability, or expense (including attorneys’ fees) that may be imposed upon or incurred by the Indemnifiable Person in connection with or resulting

Annex E-5

from any action, suit or proceeding to which the Indemnifiable Person may be a party or in which the Indemnifiable Person may be involved by reason of any action taken or omitted to be taken under the Plan or any Award Agreement and against and from any and all amounts paid by the Indemnifiable Person with the Company’s approval, in settlement thereof, or paid by the Indemnifiable Person in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding against the Indemnifiable Person, provided that the Company shall have the right, at its own expense, to assume and defend any such action, suit or proceeding and once the Company gives notice of its intent to assume the defense, the Company shall have sole control over the defense with counsel of the Company’s choice. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be available to an Indemnifiable Person to the extent that a final judgment or other final adjudication (in either case not subject to further appeal) binding upon the Indemnifiable Person determines that the acts or omissions of the Indemnifiable Person giving rise to the indemnification claim resulted from the Indemnifiable Person’s bad faith, fraud or willful criminal act or omission or that the right of indemnification is otherwise prohibited by law or by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which the Indemnifiable Persons may be entitled under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any other power that the Company may have to indemnify the Indemnifiable Persons or hold them harmless.

(f)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, the Board may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, grant Awards and administer the Plan with respect to those Awards.

(a)     The Committee may, from time to time, grant Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Other Stock-Based Awards, Other Cash-Based Awards, and/or Dividend Equivalents to one or more Eligible Persons.

(b)    Subject to Section 12, Awards granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following limitations: (i) the Committee is authorized to deliver under the Plan an aggregate of 5,200,000 Common Shares; and (ii) the maximum number of Common Shares that may be granted under the Plan during any single fiscal year to any Participant who is a non-employee director, when taken together with any cash fees paid to the non-employee director during that year in respect of his or her service as a non-employee director (including service as a member or chair of any committee of the Board), shall not exceed $100,000 in total value (calculating the value of any such Awards based on the grant date fair value of the Awards for financial reporting purposes); provided that the non-employee directors who are considered independent (under the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market or other securities exchange on which the Common Shares are traded) may make exceptions to this limit for a non-executive chair of the Board, if any, in which case the non-employee Director receiving the additional compensation may not participate in the decision to award the compensation. Notwithstanding the automatic annual increase set forth in (i) above, the Board may act prior to January 1st of a given year to provide that there will be no increase in the share reserve for that year or that the increase in the share reserve for that year will be a lesser number of Common Shares than would otherwise occur pursuant to the stipulated percentage.

(c)     If (i) any Option or other Award granted hereunder is exercised through the tendering of Common Shares (either actually or by attestation) or by the withholding of Common Shares by the Company, or (ii) tax or deduction liabilities arising from the Option or other Award are satisfied by the tendering of Common Shares (either actually or by attestation) or by the withholding of Common Shares by the Company, then in each case the Common Shares so tendered or withheld shall be added to the Common Shares available for grant under the Plan on a one-for-one basis. Shares underlying Awards under this Plan that are forfeited, cancelled, expire unexercised, or are settled in cash are available again for Awards under the Plan.

(d)    Common Shares delivered by the Company in settlement of Awards may be authorized and unissued shares, shares held in the treasury of the Company, shares purchased on the open market or by private purchase, or a combination of the foregoing.

(e)     Awards may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, be granted under the Plan in assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by an entity acquired by the Company or with which the Company combines (“Substitute Awards”). The number of Common Shares underlying any Substitute Awards shall not be counted against the aggregate number of Common Shares available for Awards under the Plan.

Annex E-6

6.      Eligibility. Participation shall be limited to Eligible Persons who have entered into an Award Agreement or who have received written notification from the Committee, or from a person designated by the Committee, that they have been selected to participate in the Plan.

7.      Options.

(a)     Generally. Each Option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement (whether in paper or electronic medium (including email or the posting on a web site maintained by the Company or a third party under contract with the Company)). Each Option so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 7, and to any other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan reflected in the applicable Award Agreement. All Options granted under the Plan shall be Nonqualified Stock Options unless the applicable Award Agreement expressly states that the Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option. The maximum aggregate number of Common Shares that may be issued through the exercise of Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan is 5,200,000 Common Shares. Incentive Stock Options shall be granted only to Eligible Persons who are employees of the Company and its Affiliates, and no Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to any Eligible Person who is ineligible to receive an Incentive Stock Option under the Code. No Option shall be treated as an Incentive Stock Option unless the Plan has been approved by the stockholders of the Company in a manner intended to comply with the stockholder approval requirements of Code Section 422(b)(1); provided that any Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option shall not fail to be effective solely on account of a failure to obtain approval, but rather the Option shall be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option unless and until approval is obtained. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the terms and conditions of the grant shall be subject to and comply with any rules prescribed by Code Section 422. If for any reason an Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option (or any portion thereof) does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, then, to the extent of the nonqualification, the Option or portion thereof shall be regarded as a Nonqualified Stock Option appropriately granted under the Plan.

(b)    Exercise Price. Except with respect to Substitute Awards, the exercise price (“Exercise Price”) per Common Share for each Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of that share determined as of the Date of Grant; provided, however, that in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an employee who, at the time of the grant of the Option, owns shares representing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares of the Company or any related corporation (as determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.422-2(f)), the Exercise Price per share shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per share on the Date of Grant and provided further, that, notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Exercise Price shall not be less than the par value per Common Share.

(c)     Vesting and Expiration. Options shall vest and become exercisable in the manner (including any terms and conditions) and on the date or dates determined by the Committee (including, if applicable, the attainment of any performance goals, as determined by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement) and shall expire after that period, not to exceed ten years, as may be determined by the Committee (the “Option Period”); provided, however, that the Option Period shall not exceed five years from the Date of Grant in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who on the Date of Grant owns shares representing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares of the Company or any related corporation (as determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.422- 2(f)); provided, further, that notwithstanding any vesting dates set by the Committee, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the exercisability of any Option, which acceleration shall not affect the terms and conditions of the Option other than with respect to exercisability. In the event of any termination of employment or service with the Company and its Affiliates thereof of a Participant who has been granted one or more Options, the Options shall be exercisable at the time or times and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Award Agreement. If the Option would expire at a time when the exercise of the Option would violate applicable securities laws, the expiration date applicable to the Option will be automatically extended to a date that is 30 calendar days following the date the exercise would no longer violate applicable securities laws (so long as the extension does not violate Code Section 409A); provided, that in no event shall the expiration date be extended beyond the expiration of the Option Period.

(d)    Method of Exercise and Form of Payment. No Common Shares shall be delivered pursuant to any exercise of an Option until payment in full of the Exercise Price therefor is received by the Company and the Participant has paid to the Company an amount equal to any taxes required to be withheld or paid. Options that have become exercisable may be exercised by delivery of written or electronic notice of exercise to the Company in accordance with the terms of the applicable Award Agreement and accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price. The Exercise

Annex E-7

Price shall be payable (i) in cash, check, cash equivalent and/or Common Shares valued at the Fair Market Value at the time the Option is exercised (including, pursuant to procedures approved by the Committee, by means of attestation of ownership of a sufficient number of Common Shares in lieu of actual delivery of the shares to the Company); provided that the Common Shares are not subject to any pledge or other security interest and are Mature Shares and; (ii) by any other method the Committee permits in accordance with Applicable Laws, in its sole discretion, including without limitation: (A) in other property having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the Exercise Price or (B) if there is a public market for the Common Shares at that time, by means of a broker-assisted “cashless exercise” pursuant to which the Company is delivered a copy of irrevocable instructions to a stockbroker to sell the Common Shares otherwise deliverable upon the exercise of the Option and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount equal to the Exercise Price or (C) by a “net exercise” method whereby the Company withholds from the delivery of the Common Shares for which the Option was exercised that number of Common Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the Common Shares for which the Option was exercised. No fractional Common Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine whether cash, other securities or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Common Shares, or whether the fractional Common Shares or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated or otherwise eliminated.

(e)     Notification upon Disqualifying Disposition of an Incentive Stock Option. Each Participant awarded an Incentive Stock Option under the Plan shall notify the Company in writing immediately after the date he or she makes a disqualifying disposition of any Common Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Incentive Stock Option. A disqualifying disposition is any disposition (including, without limitation, any sale) of the Common Shares before the later of (A) two years after the Date of Grant of the Incentive Stock Option or (B) one year after the date of exercise of the Incentive Stock Option. The Company may, if determined by the Committee and in accordance with procedures established by the Committee, retain possession of any Common Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option as agent for the applicable Participant until the end of the period described in the preceding sentence.

(f)     Compliance With Laws, etc. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Participant be permitted to exercise an Option in a manner that the Committee determines would violate the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, if applicable, or any other Applicable Laws or the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or the applicable rules and regulations of any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the securities of the Company are listed or traded.

8.      Stock Appreciation Rights.

(a)     Generally. Each SAR granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement (whether in paper or electronic medium (including email or the posting on a web site maintained by the Company or a third party under contract with the Company)). Each SAR so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 8, and to any other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan reflected in the applicable Award Agreement. Any Option granted under the Plan may include tandem SARs. The Committee also may award SARs to Eligible Persons independent of any Option.

(b)    Strike Price. The Strike Price per Common Share for each SAR shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the share determined as of the Date of Grant.

(c)     Vesting and Expiration. A SAR granted in connection with an Option shall become exercisable and shall expire according to the same vesting schedule and expiration provisions as the corresponding Option (including the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Award Agreement). A SAR granted independent of an Option shall vest and become exercisable and shall expire in the manner (including any terms and conditions) and on the date or dates determined by the Committee (including, if applicable, the attainment of any performance goals, as shall be determined by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement) and shall expire after that period, not to exceed ten years, as may be determined by the Committee (the “SAR Period”); provided, however, that notwithstanding any vesting dates set by the Committee, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the exercisability of any SAR, which acceleration shall not affect the terms and conditions of the SAR other than with respect to exercisability. In the event of any termination of employment or service with the Company and its Affiliates thereof of a Participant who has been granted one or more SAR, the SARs shall be exercisable at the time or times and subject to the terms and conditions as set forth in the Award Agreement (or in the underlying Option Award Agreement, as may be applicable). If the SAR would expire at a time when the exercise of the SAR would violate applicable securities laws, the expiration date

Annex E-8

applicable to the SAR will be automatically extended to a date that is 30 calendar days following the date the exercise would no longer violate applicable securities laws (so long as the extension shall not violate Code Section 409A); provided, that in no event shall the expiration date be extended beyond the expiration of the SAR Period.

(d)    Method of Exercise. SARs that have become exercisable may be exercised by delivery of written or electronic notice of exercise to the Company in accordance with the terms of the applicable Award Agreement, specifying the number of SARs to be exercised and the date on which the SARs were awarded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the last day of the Option Period (or in the case of a SAR independent of an option, the SAR Period), the Fair Market Value exceeds the Strike Price, the Participant has not exercised the SAR or the corresponding Option (if applicable), and neither the SAR nor the corresponding Option (if applicable) has expired, the SAR shall be deemed to have been exercised by the Participant on the last day of the Option Period and the Company shall make the appropriate payment therefor.

(e)     Payment. Upon the exercise of a SAR, the Company shall pay to the Participant an amount equal to the number of shares subject to the SAR that are being exercised multiplied by the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of one Common Share on the exercise date over the Strike Price, less an amount equal to any taxes required to be withheld or paid. The Company shall pay this amount in cash, in Common Shares valued at Fair Market Value, or any combination thereof, as determined by the Committee. No fractional Common Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine whether cash, other securities or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Common Shares, or whether the fractional Common Shares or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated or otherwise eliminated.

9.      Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units.

(a)     Generally. Each grant of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement (whether in paper or electronic medium (including email or the posting on a web site maintained by the Company or a third party under contract with the Company)). Each grant shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 9, and to any other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan reflected by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement (including the performance goals, if any, upon whose attainment the Restricted Period shall lapse in part or full).

(b)    Restricted Accounts; Escrow or Similar Arrangement. Upon the grant of Restricted Stock, a book entry in a restricted account shall be established in the Participant’s name at the Company’s transfer agent and, if the Committee determines that the Restricted Stock shall be held by the Company or in escrow rather than held in the restricted account pending the release of the applicable restrictions, the Committee may require the Participant to additionally execute and deliver to the Company (i) an escrow agreement satisfactory to the Committee, if applicable, and (ii) the appropriate share power (endorsed in blank) with respect to the Restricted Stock covered by the agreement. If a Participant shall fail to execute an agreement evidencing an Award of Restricted Stock and, if applicable, an escrow agreement and blank share power within the amount of time specified by the Committee, the Award shall be null and void. Subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 9 and the applicable Award Agreement, the Participant generally shall have the rights and privileges of a stockholder as to the Restricted Stock, including without limitation the right to vote the Restricted Stock and the right to receive dividends, if applicable. To the extent shares of Restricted Stock are forfeited, any share certificates issued to the Participant evidencing the shares shall be returned to the Company, and all rights of the Participant to the shares and as a stockholder with respect thereto shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company.

(c)     Vesting. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in an Award Agreement, the unvested portion of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall terminate and be forfeited upon termination of employment or service of the Participant granted the applicable Award.

(d)    Delivery of Restricted Stock and Settlement of Restricted Stock Units.

(i)          Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any shares of Restricted Stock, the restrictions set forth in the applicable Award Agreement shall be of no further force or effect with respect to those shares, except as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. If an escrow arrangement is used, upon expiration, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, or his or her beneficiary, without charge, the share certificate evidencing the shares of Restricted Stock that have not then been forfeited and with respect to which the Restricted Period has expired (rounded down to the nearest full share). Dividends, if any, that

Annex E-9

may have been withheld by the Committee and attributable to any particular share of Restricted Stock shall be distributed to the Committee and attributable to any particular share of Restricted Stock shall be distributed to the Participant in cash or, at the sole discretion of the Committee, in Common Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of the dividends, upon the release of restrictions on the share and, if the share is forfeited, the Participant shall have no right to the dividends (except as otherwise set forth by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement).

(ii)         Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in an Award Agreement, upon the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any outstanding Restricted Stock Units, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, or his or her beneficiary, without charge, one Common Share for each outstanding Restricted Stock Unit; provided, however, that the Committee may, in its sole discretion, elect to (i) pay cash or part cash and part Common Share in lieu of delivering only Common Shares in respect of the Restricted Stock Units or (ii) defer the delivery of Common Shares (or cash or part Common Shares and part cash, as the case may be) beyond the expiration of the Restricted Period if delivery would result in a violation of Applicable Laws until it is no longer the case. If a cash payment is made in lieu of delivering Common Shares, the amount of the payment shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares as of the date on which the Restricted Period lapsed with respect to the Restricted Stock Units, less an amount equal to any taxes required to be withheld or paid.

10.    Other Stock-Based Awards and Other Cash-Based Awards.

(a)     Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee may grant types of equity-based or equity-related Awards not otherwise described by the terms of the Plan (including the grant or offer for sale of unrestricted Common Shares), in amounts and subject to terms and conditions, determined by the Committee (including, if applicable, the attainment of any performance goals, as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement). Other Stock-Based Awards may involve the transfer of actual Common Shares to Participants, or payment in cash or otherwise of amounts based on the value of Common Shares. The terms and conditions of the Awards shall be consistent with the Plan and set forth in the Award Agreement and need not be uniform among all the Awards or all Participants receiving the Awards.

(b)    Other Cash-Based Awards. The Committee may grant a cash Award granted to a Participant not otherwise described by the terms of the Plan, including cash awarded as a bonus or upon the attainment of any performance goals or otherwise as permitted under the Plan.

(c)     Value of Awards. Each Other Stock-Based Award shall be expressed in terms of Common Shares or units based on Common Shares, as determined by the Committee, and each Other Cash-Based Award shall be shall be expressed in terms of cash, as determined by the Committee. The Committee may establish performance goals and/or criteria in its discretion, and any such performance goals and/or criteria shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. If the Committee exercises its discretion to establish performance goals and/or criteria, the number and/or value of Other Stock-Based Awards or Other Cash-Based Awards that will be paid out to the Participant will depend on the extent to which the performance goals and/or criteria are met.

(d)    Payment of Awards. Payment, if any, with respect to an Other Stock-Based Award or Other Cash-Based Award shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Award, as set forth in the Award Agreement, in cash, Common Shares or a combination of cash and Common Shares, as the Committee determines.

(e)     Vesting. The Committee shall determine the extent to which the Participant shall have the right to receive Other Stock-Based Awards or Other Cash-Based Awards following the Participant’s termination of employment or service (including by reason of the Participant’s death, disability (as determined by the Committee), or termination for or without Cause or for or without Good Reason). These provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee and these provisions may be included in the applicable Award Agreement, but need not be uniform among all Other Stock-Based Awards or Other Cash-Based Awards issued pursuant to the Plan, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for the termination of employment or service.

11.    Dividend Equivalents. No adjustment shall be made in the Common Shares issuable or taken into account under Awards on account of cash dividends that may be paid or other rights that may be issued to the holders of Common Shares prior to issuance of the Common Shares under the Award. The Committee may grant Dividend Equivalents based on the dividends declared on Common Shares that are subject to any Award (other than an Option or Stock Appreciation Right). Any Award of Dividend Equivalents may be credited as of the dividend payment dates,

Annex E-10

during the period between the Date of Grant of the Award and the date the Award becomes payable or terminates or expires, as determined by the Committee; however, Dividend Equivalents shall not be payable unless and until the Award becomes payable, and shall be subject to forfeiture to the same extent as the underlying Award. Dividend Equivalents may be subject to any additional limitations and/or restrictions determined by the Committee. Dividend Equivalents shall be payable in cash, Common Shares or converted to full-value Awards, calculated based on a formula determined by the Committee.

12.    Changes in Capital Structure and Similar Events. In the event of (i) any dividend (other than ordinary cash dividends) or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Shares, other securities or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, spin-off, split-up, split-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of Common Shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to acquire Common Shares or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event (including, without limitation, a Change in Control) that affects the Common Shares, or (ii) unusual or infrequently occurring events (including, without limitation, a Change in Control) affecting the Company, any Affiliate, or the financial statements of the Company or any Affiliate, or changes in applicable rules, rulings, regulations or other requirements of any governmental body or securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system, accounting principles or law, such that in either case an adjustment is determined by the Committee in its sole discretion to be necessary or appropriate, then the Committee shall make the adjustments it deems equitable, including without limitation any or all of the following:

(a)     adjusting any or all of (A) the number of Common Shares or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or other property) that may be delivered in respect of Awards or with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan (including, without limitation, adjusting any or all of the limitations under Section 5) and (B) the terms of any outstanding Award, including, without limitation, (1) the number of Common Shares or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or other property) subject to outstanding Awards or to which outstanding Awards relate, (2) the Exercise Price or Strike Price with respect to any Award or (3) any applicable performance measures (including, without limitation, any performance goals and/or criteria);

(b)    providing for a substitution or assumption of Awards in a manner that substantially preserves the applicable terms of the Awards;

(c)     accelerating the exercisability or vesting of, lapse of restrictions on, or termination of, Awards or providing for a period of time for exercise prior to the occurrence of the event;

(d)    modifying the terms of Awards to add events, conditions or circumstances (including termination of employment within a specified period after a Change in Control) upon which the exercisability or vesting of or lapse of restrictions thereon will accelerate;

(e)     deeming any performance measures (including, without limitation, any performance goals and/or criteria) satisfied at target, maximum or actual performance through closing or any other level determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, or providing for the performance measures to continue (as is or as adjusted by the Committee) after closing;

(f)     providing that for a period prior to the Change in Control determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, any Options or SARs that would not otherwise become exercisable prior to the Change in Control will be exercisable as to all Common Shares subject thereto (but the exercise will be contingent upon and subject to the occurrence of the Change in Control and if the Change in Control does not take place after giving the notice for any reason whatsoever, the exercise will be null and void) and that any Options or SARs not exercised prior to the consummation of the Change in Control will terminate and be of no further force and effect as of the consummation of the Change in Control; and

(g)    canceling any one or more outstanding Awards and causing to be paid to the holders thereof, in cash, Common Shares, other securities or other property, or any combination thereof, the value of the Awards, if any, as determined by the Committee (which if applicable may be based upon the price per Common Share received or to be received by other shareholders of the Company in that event), including without limitation, in the case of an outstanding Option or SAR, a cash payment in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value (as of a date specified by the Committee) of the Common Shares subject to the Option or SAR over the aggregate Exercise Price or Strike

Annex E-11

Price of the Option or SAR, respectively (it being understood that, in that event, any Option or SAR having a per share Exercise Price or Strike Price equal to, or in excess of, the Fair Market Value of a Common Share subject thereto may be canceled and terminated without any payment or consideration therefor); provided, however, that in the case of any “equity restructuring” (within the meaning of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718), the Committee shall make an equitable or proportionate adjustment to outstanding Awards to reflect the equity restructuring. The Company shall give each Participant notice of an adjustment hereunder and, upon notice, the adjustment shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes.

13.    Amendments and Termination.

(a)     Amendment and Termination of the Plan. The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time; provided that (i) no amendment to Section 13(b) (to the extent required by the proviso in Section 13(b)) shall be made without shareholder approval and (ii) no amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination shall be made without stockholder approval if the approval is necessary to comply with any tax or regulatory requirement applicable to the Plan (including, without limitation, as necessary to comply with any rules or requirements of any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the Common Shares may be listed or quoted); provided, further, that any amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance or termination that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any Participant or any holder or beneficiary of any Award theretofore granted shall not to that extent be effective as to the affected Participant, holder or beneficiary without the consent of the affected Participant, holder or beneficiary.

(b)    Amendment of Award Agreements. The Committee may, to the extent consistent with the terms of any applicable Award Agreement, waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate, any Award theretofore granted or the associated Award Agreement, prospectively or retroactively; provided that the waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any Participant or any holder or beneficiary of any Award with respect to any Award theretofore granted shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of the affected Participant, holder or beneficiary; provided, further, that without stockholder approval, except as otherwise permitted under Section 12, (i) no amendment or modification may reduce the Exercise Price of any Option or the Strike Price of any SAR, (ii) the Committee may not cancel any outstanding Option or SAR where the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares underlying the Option or SAR is less than its Exercise Price or Strike Price, as applicable, and replace it with a new Option or SAR, another Award or cash and (iii) the Committee may not take any other action that is considered a “repricing” for purposes of the stockholder approval rules of the applicable securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the Common Shares are listed or quoted.

14.    General.

(a)     Award Agreements. Each Award under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement, which shall be delivered to the Participant (whether in paper or electronic medium (including email or the posting on a web site maintained by the Company or a third party under contract with the Company)) and shall specify the terms and conditions of the Award and any rules applicable thereto, including without limitation, the effect on the Award of the death, disability or termination of employment or service of a Participant, or of any other events determined by the Committee. Except as the Plan otherwise provides, each Award may be made alone or in addition or in relation to any other Award. The terms of each Award to a Participant need not be identical, and the Committee need not treat Participants or Awards (or portions thereof) uniformly.

(b)    Nontransferability.

(i)          Each Award shall be exercisable only by a Participant during the Participant’s lifetime, or, if permissible under Applicable Laws, by the Participant’s legal guardian or representative. No Award may be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and the purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or an Affiliate; provided that the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance.

(ii)         Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit Awards (other than Incentive Stock Options) to be transferred by a Participant, without consideration, subject to any

Annex E-12

rules the Committee adopts consistent with any applicable Award Agreement to preserve the purposes of the Plan, to: (A) any person who is a “family member” of the Participant, as that term is used in the instructions to Form S-8 under the Securities Act (collectively, the “Immediate Family Members”); (B) a trust solely for the benefit of the Participant and his or her Immediate Family Members; (C) a partnership or limited liability company whose only partners or stockholders are the Participant and his or her Immediate Family Members; or (D) any other transferee as may be approved either (I) by the Board or the Committee in its sole discretion, or (II) as provided in the applicable Award Agreement. (each transferee described in clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D) above is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Transferee”); provided that the Participant gives the Committee advance written notice describing the terms and conditions of the proposed transfer and the Committee notifies the Participant in writing that the transfer would comply with the requirements of the Plan.

(iii)        The terms of any Award transferred in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall apply to the Permitted Transferee and any reference in the Plan, or in any applicable Award Agreement, to a Participant shall be deemed to refer to the Permitted Transferee, except that (A) Permitted Transferees shall not be entitled to transfer any Award, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution; (B) Permitted Transferees shall not be entitled to exercise any transferred Option unless there shall be in effect a registration statement on an appropriate form covering the Common Shares to be acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Option if the Committee determines, consistent with any applicable Award Agreement, that such a registration statement is necessary or appropriate; (C) the Committee or the Company shall not be required to provide any notice to a Permitted Transferee, whether or not the notice is or would otherwise have been required to be given to the Participant under the Plan or otherwise; and (D) the consequences of the termination of the Participant’s employment by, or services to, the Company or an Affiliate under the terms of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement shall continue to be applied with respect to the Participant, including, without limitation, that an Option shall be exercisable by the Permitted Transferee only to the extent, and for the periods, specified in the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement.

(c)     Tax Withholding and Deductions.

(i)          A Participant shall be required to pay to the Company or any Affiliate, and the Company or any Affiliate shall have the right and is hereby authorized to deduct and withhold, from any cash, Common Shares, other securities or other property deliverable under any Award or from any compensation or other amounts owing to a Participant, the amount (in cash, Common Shares, other securities or other property) of any required taxes (up to the maximum statutory rate under Applicable Laws as in effect from time to time as determined by the Committee) and deduction in respect of an Award, its grant, vesting or exercise, or any payment or transfer under an Award or under the Plan and to take any other action necessary in the opinion of the Committee or the Company to satisfy all obligations for the payment of the taxes.

(ii)         Without limiting the generality of clause (i) above, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit a Participant to satisfy, in whole or in part, the foregoing tax and deduction liability by (A) the delivery of Common Shares (which are not subject to any pledge or other security interest and are Mature Shares, except as otherwise determined by the Committee) owned by the Participant having a Fair Market Value equal to the liability or (B) having the Company withhold from the number of Common Shares otherwise issuable or deliverable pursuant to the exercise or settlement of the Award a number of shares with a Fair Market Value equal to the liability.

(d)    No Claim to Awards; No Rights to Continued Employment; Waiver. No employee of the Company or an Affiliate, or other person, shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award under the Plan or, having been selected for the grant of an Award, to be selected for a grant of any other Award. There is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants or holders or beneficiaries of Awards. The terms and conditions of Awards and the Committee’s determinations and interpretations with respect thereto need not be the same with respect to each Participant and may be made selectively among Participants, whether or not the Participants are similarly situated. Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any Participant any right to be retained in the employ or service of the Company or an Affiliate, nor shall it be construed as giving any Participant any rights to continued service on the Board. The Company or any of its Affiliates may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment or discontinue any consulting relationship, free from any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or any Award Agreement. By accepting an Award under the Plan, a Participant shall thereby be deemed to

Annex E-13

have waived any claim to continued exercise or vesting of an Award or to damages or severance entitlement related to non-continuation of the Award beyond the period provided under the Plan or any Award Agreement, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any written employment contract or other agreement between the Company and its Affiliates and the Participant, whether any such agreement is executed before, on or after the Date of Grant.

(e)     International Participants. With respect to Participants who reside or work outside of the United States of America, the Committee may in its sole discretion amend the terms of the Plan or outstanding Awards with respect to those Participants in order to conform the terms with the requirements of local law or to obtain more favorable tax or other treatment for a Participant, the Company or its Affiliates.

(f)     Designation and Change of Beneficiary. Each Participant may file with the Committee a written designation of one or more persons as the beneficiary(ies) who shall be entitled to receive the amounts payable with respect to an Award, if any, due under the Plan upon his or her death. A Participant may, from time to time, revoke or change his or her beneficiary designation without the consent of any prior beneficiary by filing a new designation with the Committee. The last designation received by the Committee shall be controlling; provided, however, that no designation, or change or revocation thereof, shall be effective unless received by the Committee prior to the Participant’s death, and in no event shall it be effective as of a date prior to receipt. If no beneficiary designation is filed by a Participant, the beneficiary shall be deemed to be his or her spouse or, if the Participant is unmarried at the time of death, his or her estate.

(g)    Termination of Employment/Service. Unless determined otherwise by the Committee at any point following the event: (i) neither a temporary absence from employment or service due to illness, vacation or leave of absence nor a transfer from employment or service with the Company to employment or service with an Affiliate (or vice-versa) shall be considered a termination of employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate; and (ii) if a Participant’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates terminates, but the Participant continues to provide services to the Company and its Affiliates in a non-employee capacity (or vice-versa), the change in status shall not be considered a termination of employment with the Company or an Affiliate.

(h)    No Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan or any Award Agreement, no person shall be entitled to the privileges of ownership in respect of Common Shares or other securities that are subject to Awards hereunder until the shares have been issued or delivered to that person.

(i)     Government and Other Regulations.

(i)          The obligation of the Company to settle Awards in Common Shares or other consideration shall be subject to all Applicable Laws, rules, and regulations, and to any approvals required by governmental agencies. Notwithstanding any terms or conditions of any Award to the contrary, the Company shall be under no obligation to offer to sell or to sell, and shall be prohibited from offering to sell or selling, any Common Shares or other securities pursuant to an Award unless the shares have been properly registered for sale pursuant to the Securities Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission or unless the Company has received an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Company, that the shares may be offered or sold without registration pursuant to an available exemption therefrom and the terms and conditions of the exemption have been fully complied with. The Company shall be under no obligation to register for sale under the Securities Act any of the Common Shares or other securities to be offered or sold under the Plan. The Committee shall have the authority to provide that all certificates for Common Shares or other securities of the Company or any Affiliate delivered under the Plan shall be subject to any stop transfer orders and other restrictions the Committee deems advisable under the Plan, the applicable Award Agreement, the federal securities laws, or the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system upon which the shares or other securities are then listed or quoted and any other applicable federal, state, local or non-U.S. laws, and, without limiting the generality of Section 9, the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on the certificates and Award Agreements to make appropriate reference to the restrictions. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the Committee reserves the right to add any additional terms or provisions to any Award granted under the Plan that it in its sole discretion deems necessary or advisable in order that the Award complies with the legal requirements of any governmental entity to whose jurisdiction the Award is subject.

(ii)         The Committee may cancel an Award or any portion thereof if it determines, in its sole discretion, that legal or contractual restrictions and/or blockage and/or other market considerations would

Annex E-14

make the Company’s acquisition of Common Shares from the public markets, the Company’s issuance of Common Shares or other securities to the Participant, the Participant’s acquisition of Common Shares or other securities from the Company and/or the Participant’s sale of Common Shares to the public markets, illegal, impracticable or inadvisable. If the Committee determines to cancel all or any portion of an Award denominated in Common Shares in accordance with the foregoing, the Company shall pay to the Participant an amount equal to the excess of (A) the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Common Shares subject to the Award or portion thereof canceled (determined as of the applicable exercise date, or the date that the shares would have been vested or delivered, as applicable), over (B) the aggregate Exercise Price or Strike Price (in the case of an Option or SAR, respectively) or any amount payable as a condition of delivery of Common Shares (in the case of any other Award). This amount shall be delivered to the Participant as soon as practicable following the cancellation of the Award or portion thereof.

(j)     Payments to Persons Other Than Participants. If the Committee shall find that any person to whom any amount is payable under the Plan is unable to care for his or her affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor, or has died, then any payment due to that person or his or her estate (unless a prior claim therefor has been made by a duly appointed legal representative) may, if the Committee so directs the Company, be paid to his or her spouse, child, relative, an institution maintaining or having custody of that person, or any other person deemed by the Committee to be a proper recipient on behalf of that person otherwise entitled to payment. Any such payment shall be a complete discharge of the liability of the Committee and the Company therefor.

(k)    Nonexclusivity of the Plan. Neither the adoption of this Plan by the Board nor the submission of this Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt any other incentive arrangements it deems desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of stock options or other equity-based awards otherwise than under this Plan, and these arrangements may be either applicable generally or only in specific cases.

(l)     No Trust or Fund Created. The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any Affiliate, on the one hand, and a Participant or other person or entity, on the other hand. No provision of the Plan or any Award shall require the Company, for the purpose of satisfying any obligations under the Plan, to purchase assets or place any assets in a trust or other entity to which contributions are made or otherwise to segregate any assets, nor shall the Company maintain separate bank accounts, books, records or other evidence of the existence of a segregated or separately maintained or administered fund for those purposes. Participants shall have no rights under the Plan other than as unsecured general creditors of the Company, except that insofar as they may have become entitled to payment of additional compensation by performance of services, they shall have the same rights as other employees under general law.

(m)   Reliance on Reports. Each member of the Committee and each member of the Board shall be fully justified in acting or failing to act, as the case may be, and shall not be liable for having so acted or failed to act in good faith, in reliance upon any report made by the independent public accountant of the Company and its Affiliates and/or any other information furnished in connection with the Plan by any agent of the Company or the Committee or the Board, other than himself.

(n)    Relationship to Other Benefits. No payment under the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, profit sharing, group insurance or other benefit plan of the Company or any Affiliate except as otherwise specifically provided in the other plan or an agreement thereunder.

(o)    Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and performed wholly within the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of laws provisions thereof.

(p)    Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any Award or Award Agreement is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any person or entity or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, the provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the Applicable Laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, the provision shall be construed or deemed stricken as to that jurisdiction, person or entity or Award and the remainder of the Plan and the Award shall remain in full force and effect.

Annex E-15

(q)    Obligations Binding on Successors. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be binding upon any successor corporation or organization resulting from the merger, amalgamation, consolidation or other reorganization of the Company, or upon any successor corporation or organization succeeding to substantially all of the assets and business of the Company.

(r)     Code Section 409A.

(i)          Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, all Awards made under this Plan are intended to be exempt from or, in the alternative, comply with Code Section 409A and the interpretive guidance thereunder, including the exceptions for stock rights and short-term deferrals. The Plan shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with that intent. Each payment under an Award shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Code Section 409A.

(ii)         If a Participant is a “specified employee” (as that term is defined for purposes of Code Section 409A) at the time of his or her termination of service, no amount that is nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A and that becomes payable by reason of the termination of service shall be paid to the Participant (or in the event of the Participant’s death, the Participant’s representative or estate) before the earlier of (x) the first business day after the date that is six months following the date of the Participant’s termination of service, and (y) within 30 days following the date of the Participant’s death. For purposes of Code Section 409A, a termination of service shall be deemed to occur only if it is a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, and references in the Plan and any Award Agreement to “termination of service” or similar terms shall mean a “separation from service.” If any Award is or becomes subject to Code Section 409A, unless the applicable Award Agreement provides otherwise, the Award shall be payable upon the Participant’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A. If any Award is or becomes subject to Code Section 409A and if payment of the Award would be accelerated or otherwise triggered under a Change in Control, then the definition of Change in Control shall be deemed modified, only to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of an excise tax under Code Section 409A, to mean a “change in control event” as that term is defined for purposes of Code Section 409A.

(iii)        Any adjustments made pursuant to Section 12 to Awards that are subject to Code Section 409A shall be made in compliance with the requirements of Code Section 409A, and any adjustments made pursuant to Section 12 to Awards that are not subject to Code Section 409A shall be made in such a manner as to ensure that after the adjustment, the Awards either (x) continue not to be subject to Code Section 409A or (y) comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A.

(s)     Notification of Election Under Code Section 83(b). If any Participant, in connection with the acquisition of Common Shares under an Award, makes the election permitted under Code Section 83(b), the Participant shall notify the Company of the election within ten days of filing notice of the election with the Internal Revenue Service.

(t)     Expenses; Gender; Titles and Headings; Interpretation. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company and its Affiliates. Masculine pronouns and other words of masculine gender shall refer to both men and women. The titles and headings of the sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than those titles or headings shall control. Unless the context of the Plan otherwise requires, words using the singular or plural number also include the plural or singular number, respectively; derivative forms of defined terms will have correlative meanings; the terms “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Plan; the term “Section” refers to the specified Section of this Plan and references to “paragraphs” or “clauses” shall be to separate paragraphs or clauses of the Section or subsection in which the reference occurs; the words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”; and the word “or” shall be disjunctive but not exclusive.

(u)    Other Agreements. Notwithstanding the above, the Committee may require, as a condition to the grant of and/or the receipt of Common Shares or other securities under an Award, that the Participant execute lock-up, shareholder or other agreements, as it may determine in its sole and absolute discretion.

(v)    Payments. Participants shall be required to pay, to the extent required by Applicable Laws, any amounts required to receive Common Shares or other securities under any Award made under the Plan.

Annex E-16

(w)    Clawback; Erroneously Awarded Compensation. All Awards (including on a retroactive basis) granted under the Plan are subject to the terms of any Company forfeiture, incentive compensation recoupment, clawback or similar policy as it may be in effect from time to time, as well as any similar provisions of Applicable Laws, as well as any other policy of the Company that may apply to the Awards, such as anti-hedging or pledging policies, as they may be in effect from time to time. In particular, these policies and/or provisions shall include, without limitation, (i) any Company policy established to comply with Applicable Laws (including, without limitation, Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act), and/or (ii) the rules and regulations of the applicable securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the Common Shares or other securities are listed or quoted, and these requirements shall be deemed incorporated by reference into all outstanding Award Agreements.

(x)    No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan. The Committee shall determine whether cash, other Awards, or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of fractional shares or whether fractional shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited, rounded, or otherwise eliminated.

(y)    Paperless Administration. If the Company establishes, for itself or using the services of a third party, an automated system for the documentation, granting or exercise of Awards, such as a system using an internet website or interactive voice response, then the paperless documentation, granting or exercise of Awards by a Participant may be permitted through the use of such an automated system.

(z)     Data Privacy. As a condition for receiving any Award, each Participant explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of personal data as described in this Section 14(z) by and among the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates exclusively for implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates may hold certain personal information about a Participant, including the Participant’s name, address and telephone number; birthdate; social security, insurance number or other identification number; salary; nationality; job title(s); any Common Shares held in the Company or its Subsidiaries and Affiliates; and Award details, to implement, manage and administer the Plan and Awards (the “Data”). The Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates may transfer the Data amongst themselves as necessary to implement, administer and manage a Participant’s participation in the Plan, and the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates may transfer the Data to third parties assisting the Company with Plan implementation, administration and management. These recipients may be located in the Participant’s country, or elsewhere, and the Participant’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the recipients’ country. By accepting an Award, each Participant authorizes the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan, including any required Data transfer to a broker or other third party with whom the Company or the Participant may elect to deposit any Common Shares. The Data related to a Participant will be held only as long as necessary to implement, administer, and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan. A Participant may, at any time, view the Data that the Company holds regarding the Participant, request additional information about the storage and processing of the Data regarding the Participant, recommend any necessary corrections to the Data regarding the Participant or refuse or withdraw the consents in this Section 14(z) in writing, without cost, by contacting the local human resources representative. The Company may cancel Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan and, in the Committee’s discretion, the Participant may forfeit any outstanding Awards if the Participant refuses or withdraws the consents in this Section 14(z).

(aa)   Broker-Assisted Sales. In the event of a broker-assisted sale of Common Shares in connection with the payment of amounts owed by a Participant under or with respect to the Plan or Awards: (a) any Common Shares to be sold through the broker-assisted sale will be sold on the day the payment first becomes due, or as soon thereafter as practicable; (b) the Common Shares may be sold as part of a block trade with other Participants in the Plan in which all participants receive an average price; (c) the applicable Participant will be responsible for all broker’s fees and other costs of sale, and by accepting an Award, each Participant agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any losses, costs, damages, or expenses relating to any such sale; (d) to the extent the Company or its designee receives proceeds of the sale that exceed the amount owed, the Company will pay the excess in cash to the applicable Participant as soon as reasonably practicable; (e) the Company and its designees are under no obligation to arrange for the sale at any particular price; and (f) if the proceeds of the sale are insufficient to satisfy the Participant’s applicable obligation, the Participant may be required to pay immediately upon demand to the Company or its designee an amount in cash sufficient to satisfy any remaining portion of the Participant’s obligation.

Registration Rights

2.1 Registration

(a) Registration Requirements. The Company shall, not later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Closing, prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement on Form S-1, or Form S-3 if such registration statement form is available to the Company, and take all such other actions as are necessary to ensure that there is an effective “shelf” registration statement containing a prospectus that remains current covering (and to qualify under required U.S. state securities laws, if any) the offer and sale of all Registrable Securities by the Holders on a continuous or delayed basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act (the registration statement, the “Resale Shelf Registration Statement”). The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Commission to declare the Resale Shelf Registration Statement effective as soon as possible thereafter but in any event within three (3) days after the Commission advises the Company that it has completed its review of such registration statement, and to remain effective and the prospectus contained therein current until all Holders cease to hold Registrable Securities. The Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall provide for any method or combination of methods of resale of Registrable Securities legally available to, and requested by, the Holders, and shall comply with the relevant provisions of the Securities Act and Exchange Act.

(b) Request for Underwritten Takedowns. The Holders that qualify as Initiating Holders will be entitled to Underwritten Takedowns with respect to their Registrable Securities in accordance with this Section 2.1. If the Company shall receive from any Initiating Holder a written request signed by such Initiating Holder that the Company effect any Underwritten Takedown with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities (such request shall state the number of shares of Registrable Securities proposed to be disposed of by such Initiating Holder), the Company will:

(i) promptly, and in any event, within five (5) days after receiving such request, give written notice of the proposed Underwritten Takedown to all other Qualified Holders; and

(ii) as soon as practicable, use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Commission to declare such Underwritten Takedown effective within sixty (60) days thereafter (including, without limitation, filing post-effective amendments, one or more prospectus supplements, appropriate qualifications under any applicable blue sky or other state securities laws, and appropriate compliance with the Securities Act) and to permit and facilitate the sale and distribution in an underwritten offering of all or such portion of such Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request received by the Company within ten (10) days after such written notice from the Company is mailed or delivered.

(c) Limitations on Underwritten Takedowns. The Company shall not be obligated to effect any Underwritten Takedown pursuant to this Section 2.1:

(i) If the Initiating Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such Underwritten Takedown, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any), the aggregate proceeds of which are anticipated to be less than $10,000,000;

(ii) In any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification, or compliance, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act;

(iii) If the Company has effected two (2) such Underwritten Takedowns in any given twelve (12) month period;

Annex F-5

(iv) If the Initiating Holder proposes to dispose of shares of Registrable Securities that may be registered on Form S-3 pursuant to the request made pursuant to Section 2.2;

(v) If the Initiating Holder does not request that such offering be firmly underwritten by underwriters selected by the Initiating Holder (subject to the consent of the Company); or

(vi) If the Company and the Initiating Holder are unable to obtain the commitment of the underwriter described in clause (v) above to firmly underwrite the offer.

(d) Other Shares. Any Underwritten Takedown may, subject to the provisions of Section 2.1(f), include Other Shares, and may include securities of the Company being sold for the account of the Company, provided that, any Other Shares or securities of the Company to be included in an Underwritten Takedown must be the subject of an effective shelf registration statement at the time the Company receives the request for an Underwritten Takedown from the Initiating Holder.

(e) Underwriting; Cutback. If the Company requests inclusion in any Underwritten Takedown of securities to be sold for its own account, or if other persons request inclusion of Other Shares in any Underwritten Takedown, the Initiating Holder shall, on behalf of all Holders, offer to include such securities in the underwriting and such offer shall be conditioned upon the participation of the Company or such other persons in such underwriting and the inclusion of the Company’s and such other person’s securities of the Company and their acceptance of the applicable provisions of this Section 2. The Company shall (together with all Holders and other persons proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company, which underwriters are reasonably acceptable to a majority-in-interest of Holders that qualify as Initiating Holders. No Holder (or its permitted transferee or assignee under Section 2.11) shall be required to make any representations or warranties to, or agreements with, the Company or the underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Holder’s (or such transferee’s or assignee’s) authority to enter into such underwriting agreement and to sell, and its ownership of, the securities being registered on its behalf, its intended method of distribution and any other representation required by law.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.1, if the underwriters, in good faith, advise the Initiating Holder in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of securities of the Company to be underwritten, the number of Registrable Securities and Other Shares that may be so included shall be allocated as follows: (i) first, among Initiating Holders requesting to include Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Takedown based on the pro rata percentage of Registrable Securities held by such Initiating Holders (determined based on the aggregate number of Registrable Securities held by each such Initiating Holder), provided that not less than 30% of the allocation in this clause (i) shall be for the Initial Investors; (ii) second, among all other Holders requesting to include Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Takedown based on the pro rata percentage of Registrable Securities held by such Holders (determined based on the aggregate number of Registrable Securities held by each such Holder); (iii) third, to the Company, which the Company may allocate, at its discretion, for its own account, or for the account of other Holders or employees of the Company, and (iv) fourth, to any Other Selling Stockholders requesting to include Other Shares in such Underwritten Takedown.

If a person who has requested inclusion in such Underwritten Takedown as provided above does not agree to the terms of any such underwriting, such person shall be excluded therefrom by written notice to the Company, the underwriter or the Initiating Holders, and the securities so excluded shall also be withdrawn from the Underwritten Takedown. If securities are so withdrawn from the Underwritten Takedown and if the number of shares to be included in such Underwritten Takedown was previously reduced as a result of marketing factors pursuant to this Section 2.1(e), then the Company shall offer to all Holders who have retained rights to include securities in the Underwritten Takedown the right to include additional Registrable Securities in the offering in an aggregate amount equal to the number of shares so withdrawn, with such shares to be allocated among such Holders requesting additional inclusion, as set forth above.

(f) Deferral; Suspension. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Company furnishes to the Holders a certificate (the “Suspension Notice”) signed by an executive officer of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors, effecting a registration (whether by the filing of a registration statement or by taking any other action) or the offering or disposition of Registrable Securities thereunder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, through an Underwritten Takedown) should be postponed

Annex F-6

or suspended because such registration, offering or disposal would (1) materially impede, delay or interfere with a pending material acquisition, corporate reorganization, or other similar transaction involving the Company; (2) require premature disclosure of material non-public information that the Company has a material bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (3) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, then by delivery of the Suspension Notice to the Holders, then (in addition to the limitations set forth in Section 2.1(c) of this Agreement) the Company may so postpone effecting a registration or require the Holders to refrain from offering or disposing of Registrable Securities for a period of not more than sixty (60) days, and, provided further, that the Company shall not suspend usage of a registration statement in this manner more than once in any twelve (12) month period.

2.2 Company Registration

(a) Company Registration/Underwritten Offering. If the Company determines to (1) register any of its securities either for its own account or the account of Other Selling Stockholders (or a combination of the foregoing) during a period in which a Resale Shelf Registration Statement covering a Holder’s Registrable Securities is not then effective, other than: a registration pursuant to Section 2.1; a registration relating to the shares of Common Stock underlying the Public Warrants; a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans; a registration relating to the offer and sale of non-convertible debt securities; a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or other Rule 145 transaction; or a registration on any registration form that does not permit secondary sales, or (2) effect an underwritten public offering of securities, either for its own account or the account of Other Selling Stockholders (or a combination of the foregoing), the Company will:

(i) promptly give written notice (in any event not later than twenty (20) days prior to the filing of the registration statement or preliminary prospectus to which such offering relates) of the proposed registration or offering, as applicable, to all Holders; and

(ii) use its reasonable best efforts to include in such registration or offering, as applicable, and any related qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance, except as set forth in Section 2.2(b), and in any underwriting involved therein, all of such Registrable Securities as are specified in a written request or requests made by any Holder or Holders received by the Company within ten (10) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company. Such written request may specify all or a part of a Holder’s Registrable Securities; provided however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, only Qualified Holders shall be entitled to notice of and to participate in underwritten public offerings contemplated by clause (2) of this Section 2.2(a).

(b) Underwriting; Cutback. If the registration or offering of which the Company gives notice is for an underwritten public offering, the Company shall so advise the Qualified Holders who have elected to participate (and include the names of the proposed underwriters) as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(2)(i). All Qualified Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company and the Other Selling Stockholders with registration rights to participate therein) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company. No Qualified Holder (or its permitted transferee or assignee under Section 2.11) shall be required to make any representations or warranties to, or agreements with, the Company or the underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Qualified Holder’s (or such transferee’s or assignee’s) authority to enter into such underwriting agreement and to sell, and its ownership of, the securities being registered on its behalf, its intended method of distribution and any other representation required by law.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.2, if the underwriters in good faith advise the Company and the Qualified Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the offering in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, the underwriters may (subject to the limitations set forth below) limit the number of Registrable Securities to be included in the registration and underwriting. The Company shall so advise all holders of securities requesting registration, and the number of shares of securities that are entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated (1) if the underwritten offering is for the Company’s account, (m) first, to the Company; (n) second, to the Qualified Holders requesting to include Registrable Securities in such offering based on the pro rata percentage of Registrable Securities held by such Qualified Holders (determined based on the aggregate number of Registrable Securities held by each such Qualified Holder); and (o) third, to the Other Selling Stockholders, if any, requesting to include Other Shares in such underwritten offering pursuant to piggyback rights and (2) if the underwritten offering is for the account of Other Selling Stockholders, then (x) first, to the Other Selling Stockholders, (y) second, to the Qualified Holders requesting to include Registrable Securities in such offering

Annex F-7

based on the pro rata percentage of Registrable Securities held by such Qualified Holders (determined based on the aggregate number of Registrable Securities held by each such Qualified Holder); and (z) third, to the Company.

If a person who has requested inclusion in such registration as provided above does not agree to the terms of any such underwriting, such person shall be excluded therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter. Any Registrable Securities or Other Shares excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses prior to any such withdrawal.

(c) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2.2 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration.

(d) Limitations. The Company shall not be obligated to effect any registrations pursuant to this Section 2.2:

(i) After the Company has initiated five (5) such Underwritten Takedowns pursuant to this Section 2.2 (counting for these purposes only (x) registrations in which Registrable Securities are not excluded or reduced pursuant to Section 2.2(b) and which have been declared or ordered effective and pursuant to which securities have been sold, and (y) withdrawn registrations);

(ii) If the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of shares of Registrable Securities that may be registered on Form S-3 pursuant to the request made pursuant to Section 2.1;

(iii) If the Initiating Holders do not request that such offering be firmly underwritten by underwriters selected by the Initiating Holders (subject to the consent of the Company); or

(iv) If the Company and the Initiating Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of the underwriter described in clause (iii) above to firmly underwrite the offer.

2.3 Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with registrations pursuant to this Section 2 shall be borne by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.2 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered or because a sufficient number of Holders shall have withdrawn so that the minimum offering conditions set forth in Sections 2.1 and 2.2 are no longer satisfied (in which case all participating Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata among each other based on the number of Registrable Securities requested to be so registered), unless the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities agree to forfeit their right to a demand registration pursuant to Section 2.1; provided, however, if a withdrawal by the Holders is based upon material adverse information relating to the Company that is different from the information known or available (upon request from the Company or otherwise) to the Holders requesting registration at the time of their request for registration under Section 2.1, such registration shall not be treated as a counted registration for purposes of Section 2.1, even though the Holders do not bear the Registration Expenses for such registration. All Selling Expenses relating to securities registered on behalf of the Holders and the holders of any Other Shares shall be borne by the Holders and any holders of any Other Shares included in such registration pro rata among each other on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities and Other Shares, respectively, registered on their behalf.

2.4 Registration Procedures. In the case of each registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2, the Company will keep each Holder advised in writing as to the initiation of each registration and as to the completion thereof. At its sole expense, the Company will:

(a) Prepare each registration statement, including all exhibits and financial statements required under the Securities Act to be filed therewith, and before filing such registration statement, any prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, furnish to the Holders of the Registrable Securities copies of all documents prepared to be filed, which documents shall be subject to the review of such Holders and their respective counsel;

Annex F-8

(c) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, post-effective amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be requested by the Holders or any underwriter of Registrable Securities or as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement;

(d) Notify the participating Holders of Registrable Securities, and confirm such notice in writing and provide copies of the relevant documents, as soon as reasonably practicable after notice thereof is received by the Company (a) when the applicable registration statement or any amendment thereto has been filed or becomes effective, and when the applicable prospectus or any amendment or supplement to such prospectus has been filed, (b) of any written comments by the Commission or any request by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to such registration statement, prospectus or for additional information (whether before or after the effective date of the registration statement), (c) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or any order by the Commission or any other regulatory authority preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary or final prospectus or the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for such purposes, and (d) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of any Registrable Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose;

(e) Furnish such number of prospectuses, including any preliminary prospectuses, and other documents incident thereto, including any amendment of or supplement to the prospectus, as a Holder (or its counsel) from time to time may reasonably request;

(f) Register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders; provided, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions where it would not otherwise be required to qualify or when it is not then otherwise subject to service of process;

(g) Notify each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or incomplete in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, and following such notification promptly prepare and file a post-effective amendment to such registration statement or a supplement to the related prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document that would be incorporated by reference into such registration statement and prospectus, so that such registration statement does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that such prospectus does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and, in the case of a post-effective amendment to a registration statement, use reasonable best efforts to cause it to be declared effective as promptly as is reasonably practicable, and give to the Holders listed as selling security holders in such prospectus a written notice of such amendment or supplement, and, upon receipt of such notice, each such Holder agrees not to sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement until such Holder’s receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus or until it receives further written notice from the Company that such sales may re-commence;

(h) Use its reasonable best efforts to prevent, or obtain the withdrawal of, any order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement (and promptly notify in writing each Holder covered by such registration statement of the withdrawal of any such order);

(i) Provide a transfer agent or warrant agent, as applicable, and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant to such registration statement and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration;

to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends, including without limitation, procuring and delivering any opinions of counsel, certificates, or agreements as may be necessary to cause such Registrable Securities to be so delivered;

(k) Cause all such Registrable Securities registered hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

(l) In connection with any underwritten offering pursuant to a registration statement filed pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.2, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement in form reasonably necessary to effect the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities subject to such underwriting, provided, that such underwriting agreement contains reasonable and customary provisions;

(m) Furnish to each Holder of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement a signed counterpart, addressed to such Holder, of (1) any opinion of counsel to the Company delivered to any underwriter dated the effective date of the registration statement or, in the event of an underwritten offering, the date of the closing under the applicable underwriting agreement, in customary form, scope, and substance, at a minimum to the effect that the registration statement has been declared effective and that no stop order is in effect, which counsel and opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Holders and their respective counsel and (2) any comfort letter from the Company’s independent public accountants delivered to any underwriter in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by comfort letters as the managing underwriter or underwriters reasonably request. If no legal opinion is delivered to any underwriter, the Company shall furnish to each Holder of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement, at any time that such Holder elects to use a prospectus, an opinion of counsel to the Company to the effect that the registration statement containing such prospectus has been declared effective and that no stop order is in effect and any other matters as the Holders or underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included;

(n) Promptly identify to the selling Holders any underwriter(s) participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney or accountant or other agent retained by any such underwriter or selected by the selling Holders, make available for inspection by the selling Holders all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents, and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees, and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant, or agent, in each case, as necessary or advisable to verify the accuracy of the information in such registration statement and to conduct appropriate due diligence in connection therewith;

(o) Reasonably cooperate, and cause each of its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, and all other officers and members of the management to fully cooperate in any offering of Registrable Securities hereunder, which cooperation shall include, without limitation, assisting with the preparation of any registration statement or amendment thereto with respect to such offering and all other offering materials and related documents, and participation in meetings with underwriters, attorneys, accountants and potential stockholders;

(p) Otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and make available to its stockholders an earnings statement (in a form that satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto) no later than thirty (30) days after the end of the 12-month period beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full fiscal quarter after the effective date of such registration statement, which earnings statement shall cover said 12-month period, and which requirement will be deemed to be satisfied if the Company timely files complete and accurate information on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K under the Exchange Act and otherwise complies with Rule 158 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto;

(q) Reasonably cooperate with each Holder and each underwriter or agent, if any, participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.

(r) In the event of any underwritten public offering of Registrable Securities, cause senior executive officers of the Company to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested by the managing underwriter in any such underwritten offering and otherwise to facilitate, cooperate with, and participate in each proposed offering contemplated herein and customary selling efforts related thereto;

Annex F-10

(s) Take all reasonable action to ensure that any “free writing prospectus” (as defined in the Securities Act) utilized in connection with any registration of Registrable Securities complies in all material respects with the Securities Act, is filed in accordance with the Securities Act to the extent required thereby, is retained in accordance with the Securities Act to the extent required thereby and, when taken together with the related prospectus, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and

(t) Take all such other reasonable actions as are necessary or advisable in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.

2.5 Price and Underwriting Discounts. In the case of an underwritten offering requested by Holders pursuant to Section 2.1, the price, underwriting discount and other financial terms of the related underwriting agreement for the Registrable Securities shall be determined by the participating Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities. In the case of any underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2.2, such price, discount and other terms shall be determined by the Company, subject to the right of the Holders to withdraw their request to participate in the registration pursuant to Section 2.2 after being advised of such price, discount and other terms.

2.6 “Market Stand-Off” Agreement. The Holders shall not sell, transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale with respect to, any Common Stock (or other securities of the Company) held by the Holders (other than those included in the registration) for a period specified by the representatives of the managing underwriter or underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities of the Company convertible into Common Stock) not to exceed five (5) days prior and ninety (90) days following any Underwritten Takedown. Each of the Holders that is a director or officer of the Company or that owns more than five percent (5%) of the Company’s Common Stock also shall execute and deliver any “lock-up” agreement reasonably requested by the managing underwriter of such Underwritten Takedown, but only to the extent as is required generally of any executive officers, directors or five percent (5%) or greater stockholder by such managing underwriter.

2.7 Indemnification.

(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, and each shareholder, member, limited or general partner thereof, each shareholder, member, limited or general partner of each such shareholder, member, limited or general partner, each of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, advisors, and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act) such Persons and each of their respective Representatives, and each underwriter, if any, and each person or entity who controls within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act any underwriter, against all expenses, claims, judgments, suits, costs, penalties, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions, proceedings or settlements in respect thereof) arising out of or based on: (i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any prospectus, offering circular or other document (including any related registration statement, notification or the like) incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance, (ii) any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation (or alleged violation) by the Company of the Securities Act, Exchange Act, any state securities laws or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any offering covered by such registration, qualification or compliance, and the Company will reimburse each Holder, and each shareholder, member, limited or general partner thereof, each shareholder, member, limited or general partner of each such shareholder, member, limited or general partner, each of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, advisors, and agents and each Person who controls such persons and each of their respective Representatives, and each underwriter, if any, and each person or entity who controls any underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such claim, judgment, suit, penalty, loss, damage, liability or action; provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, judgment, suit, penalty loss, damage, liability, or action arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission based upon written information furnished to the Company by such Holder, any of such Holder’s Representatives, any person or entity controlling such Holder, such underwriter or any person or entity who controls any such underwriter, and stated to be specifically for use therein; provided, further that, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.7(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). This indemnity shall

Annex F-11

be in addition to any liability the Company may otherwise have. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Holder or any indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Holder.

(b) To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder, severally and not jointly, will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities as to which such registration, qualification or compliance is being effected, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, officers, employees, partners, legal counsel and accountants and each underwriter, if any, of the Company’s securities covered by such a registration statement, each person or entity who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, each other such Holder, and each of their officers, directors and partners, and each person or entity controlling each other such Holder, and each of their respective Representatives, against all claims, judgments, penalties losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on: (i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any prospectus, offering circular or other document (including any related registration statement, notification, or the like) incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing by or on behalf of such selling Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration, (ii) any omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing by or on behalf of such selling Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration, or (iii) any violation (or alleged violation) by the Company of the Securities Act, any state securities laws or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to the Holder and relating to action or inaction required of the Holder in connection with any offering covered by such registration, qualification or compliance, and will reimburse the Company and such Holders, directors, officers, partners, legal counsel and accountants, persons, underwriters, or control persons for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission (i) is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use therein and (ii) has not been corrected in a subsequent writing prior to or concurrently with the sale of the Registrable Securities to the person asserting the claim; provided, however, that the obligations of such Holder hereunder shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claims, losses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and provided that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 2.7 exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder, except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such Holder.

(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 2.7 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall (i) give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought (provided, that any delay or failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that it is actually and materially prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure), and (ii) permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party’s expense unless (w) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees or expenses, (x) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense of such claim within a reasonable time after receipt of notice of such claim from the Indemnified Party hereunder and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, (y) the Indemnified Party has reasonably concluded (based upon advice of its counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party, or (z) in the reasonable judgment of any such person (based upon advice of its counsel) a conflict of interest may exist between such person and the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the person notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that such Person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such person). No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Each Indemnified Party shall

Annex F-12

furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.7 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. No Holder will be required under this Section 2.7(d) to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder, except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such Holder. No person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 2.7 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration under this Section 2.7 and otherwise shall survive the termination of this Agreement until the expiration of the applicable period of the statute of limitations.

2.8 Information by Holder. Each Holder of Registrable Securities shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the distribution proposed by such Holder as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration, qualification, or compliance referred to in this Section 2.

2.9 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may permit the sale of the Restricted Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to:

(a) Make and keep adequate current public information with respect to the Company available in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act;

(b) File with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

(c) So long as a Holder owns any Restricted Securities, furnish to the Holder forthwith upon written request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, or that it qualifies as registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after the Company so qualifies), a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed as a Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing a Holder to sell any such securities without registration. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request to enable such Holder to sell from time to time shares of Common Stock held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144, including providing at the Company’s expense any legal opinions.

2.10 No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company has not entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities or otherwise conflict with the provisions hereof. Unless the Company receives the consent of each of (i) the Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities issued to the Initial Investors and (ii) the Holders holding a majority of the Merger Shares that are Registrable Securities, the Company shall not enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities or otherwise conflict with the provisions hereof.

In addition, the assignment of Inventions and Work herein and the Executive’s agreements in connection therewith shall not apply to any Invention or Work which qualify for exclusion under the terms of applicable state law, including, Section 2870 of the California Labor Code, set forth below:

“(a) Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that an employee shall assign, or offer to assign, any of his or her rights in an invention to his or her employer shall not apply to an invention that the employee developed entirely on his or her own time without using the employer’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information except for those inventions that either:

(1) Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the employer’s business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the employer; or

(2) Result from any work performed by the employee for the employer.

Annex G-6

(b) To the extent a provision in an employment agreement purports to require an employee to assign an invention otherwise excluded from being required to be assigned under subdivision (a), the provision is against the public policy of this state and is unenforceable.”

The Executive shall, during the course of the Executive’s employment and at all times subsequent to the Executive’s employment, hold in strictest and total confidence all Confidential Information. The Executive will at no time, without prior written authorization by the Company (or except pursuant to a confidentiality agreement entered into by the Company in its ordinary course of business), disclose, assign, transfer, convey, communicate, or use for the benefit of any person or entity other than the Company any Confidential Information, nor shall the Executive permit any other person or entity to use Confidential Information in competition with the Company.

The Executive assigns to the Company Group the entire right, title, and interest in and to any and all Work, including, by way of example and not limitation, all designs, drawings, conceptions, and improvements, including any copyrights in all original works of authorship fixed in any tangible medium of expression heretofore or hereafter created for the Company Group by the Executive, or furnished to the Company Group, whether such works are created by the Executive solely or jointly with others. For all such original Work, the Executive agrees to provide documentation satisfactory to the Company Group to assure the originality of all such Work and conveyance of all such right, title and interest, including any patents, trademarks, and copyrights in the Work to the Company Group.

9. Non-Compete, Non-Solicitation.

(a) In further consideration of the compensation to be paid to the Executive hereunder, the Executive acknowledges that during the course of his employment with the Company he shall become familiar with the Company Group’s trade secrets and with other Confidential Information concerning the Company Group and that his services shall be of special, unique and extraordinary value to the Company Group, and therefore, the Executive agrees that, during the Employment Period and for a period of twelve (12) months following the Termination Date (the “Noncompete Period”), the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, individually or on behalf of any person, company, enterprise or entity, or as a sole proprietor, partner, stockholder, director, officer, principal, agent or executive, or in any other capacity or relationship, engage in any Competitive Activities within any jurisdiction in which any member of the Company Group had offices and/or conducted business, derived a material portion of its revenues or had demonstrable plan to commence business activities, or participated in or made any investment in any investment or venture which has been consummated or is being pursued or contemplated by the Company Group as of the date of execution of this Agreement and the date of termination of the Executive’s employment. “Competitive Activities” shall mean (A) engaging in, controlling, advising, managing, serving as a director, officer or employee of, acting as a consultant to or contractor or other agent for, receiving any economic benefit from any Competitive Business or (B) investing in or owning any interest publicly or privately in any Person engaged in any Competitive Business.

The Executive acknowledges that the Company Group conducts business in, and has expended considerable sums to develop and maintain markets in, the foregoing areas and agrees that the scope and duration of the covenant contained herein is reasonable both in time and geographical area and is necessary to protect the Company Group’s legitimate business interests, especially considering the Executive’s position with the Company and other relevant factors.

(b) During the Employment Period and thereafter for the Noncompete Period, the Executive shall not individually or collectively, as a participant in a partnership, sole proprietorship, corporation, limited liability company, or other entity, or as an operator, investor, shareholder, partner, director, employee, consultant, manager, or advisor

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive may hire those employees responding to a general solicitation not directly targeted at such employees, or those employees actively recruited by the Executive and hired by any member of the Company Group following the execution of this Agreement.

(c) If, at the time of enforcement of this Section 9, a court shall hold that the duration, scope, or area restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the maximum duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration, scope or area, and that the court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and area permitted by law. The Executive acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 8 are reasonable and that he has reviewed the provisions of this Agreement with his legal counsel.

(d) In the event of the breach or a threatened breach by the Executive of any of the provisions of this Section 9, the Company would suffer irreparable harm, and in addition and supplementary to other rights and remedies existing in its favor, the Company shall be entitled to specific performance and/or injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other security).

(e) The Executive has carefully read and considered the provisions of Sections 6, 7, 8 and 9 and, having done so, acknowledges and recognizes the highly competitive nature of Company’s business, that access to Confidential Information, including Trade Secrets, renders the Executive special and unique within the Company Group and the Company’s industry, and that the Executive will have the opportunity to develop substantial relationships with existing and prospective clients, accounts, customers, consultants, contractors, investors, and strategic partners of the Company Group during the course of and as a result of the Executive’s employment with Company. In light of the foregoing, the Executive recognizes and acknowledges that the restrictions set forth herein are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required for the protection of the legitimate business interests, Confidential Information, including Trade Secrets, of the Company Group, and are reasonable and valid in geographical and temporal scope.

16. Section 280G of the Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the amount to be paid by the Company to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement shall be limited such that the total “parachute payments” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Code) made to the Executive by the Company pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise does not exceed the product of 2.99 times the “base amount” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) for the Executive.

Annex G-9

17. Section 409A of the Code.

(a) It is intended that any amounts payable under this Agreement shall be exempt from and avoid the imputation of any tax, penalty or interest under Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law; provided, that if any such amount is or becomes subject to the requirements of Section 409A, it is intended that those amounts shall comply with such requirements. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted consistent with that intent. In furtherance of that intent, if payment or provision of any amount or benefit hereunder that is subject to Section 409A at the time specified herein would subject such amount or benefit to any additional tax under Section 409A, the payment or provision of such amount or benefit shall be postponed to the earliest commencement date on which the payment or provision of such amount or benefit could be made without incurring such additional tax. In no event, however, shall the Company be liable for any tax, interest or penalty imposed on the Executive under Section 409A or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A.

(b) If the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i) as of the Termination Date, the Executive shall not be entitled to any payment or benefit pursuant to Section 4(b) until the earlier of (A) the date which is six (6) months after his separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A) for any reason other than death, or (B) the date of the Executive’s death; provided, that this paragraph shall only apply if, and to the extent, required to avoid the imputation of any tax, penalty or interest pursuant to Section 409A. Any amounts otherwise payable to the Executive upon or in the six (6) month period following the Executive’s separation from service that are not so paid by reason of this Section 16(b) shall be paid (without interest) as soon as practicable (and in any event within thirty (30) days) after the date that is six (6) months after the Executive’s separation from service (provided that in the event of the Executive’s death after such separation from service but prior to payment, then such payment shall be made as soon as practicable, and in all events within thirty (30) days, after the date of the Executive’s death).

(c) Any reimbursement payment or in-kind benefit due to the Executive pursuant to Section 3(c), to the extent that such reimbursements or in-kind benefits are taxable to him, shall be paid on or before the last day of the Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the related expense was incurred. The Executive agrees to provide prompt notice to the Company of any such expenses (and any other documentation that the Company may reasonably require to substantiate such expenses) in order to facilitate the Company’s timely reimbursement of the same. Reimbursements and in-kind benefits pursuant to Section 3(c) are not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit and the amount of such benefits that the Executive receives in one taxable year shall not affect the amount of such reimbursements or benefits that the Executive receives in any other taxable year.

(d) For purposes of Section 409A, the Executive’s right to receive any installment payments hereunder shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments. Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days (e.g., payment shall be made within thirty (30) days following the date of termination), the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Company.

18. Complete Agreement. This Agreement and those documents expressly referred to herein, including the exhibits to this Agreement embody the complete agreement and understanding among the parties and supersede and preempt any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way, provided, however, that any non-competition, non-solicitation and other restrictive covenant agreements between the Executive and the Company Group, including, without limitation, the Confidentiality, Invention and Non-Interference Agreement between Ittella International, LLC, UMB Capital Corporation, and the Executive, dated as of April 15, 2019, shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or changed (in whole or in part), except by written agreement executed by both of the parties hereto.

19. Effectiveness. The effectiveness of this Agreement is conditioned upon the closing of the Merger. Accordingly, this Agreement shall be void and of no further force or effect if the Merger Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the closing of the Merger.

20. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which is deemed to be an original and all of which taken together constitute one and the same agreement.

Annex G-10

21. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive, the Company and their respective heirs, successors and assigns; provided, that the services provided by the Executive under this Agreement are of a personal nature and rights and obligations of the Executive under this Agreement shall not be assignable.

22. Choice of Law. All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement and the exhibits hereto shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or of another State) and the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware. The Executive represents that the Executive has had the opportunity to seek, and has in fact been individually represented by, legal counsel in negotiating the terms of this Agreement, including with respect to the choice of Delaware law as the governing law of this Agreement and Delaware courts as the jurisdiction for any judicial proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

Exhibit A

FORM OF AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE

THIS AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE (the “Agreement and General Release”) is made and entered into on _____________, 2020 by and between [______] (“Executive”) and Tattooed Chef, Inc. (“Employer”).

WHEREAS, Executive has been employed by Employer and the parties wish to resolve all outstanding claims and disputes between them relating to such employment;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement and General Release, the sufficiency of which the parties acknowledge, it is agreed as follows:

1.      In consideration for Executive’s promises, covenants and agreements in this Agreement and General Release, Employer agrees to make the payments to and on behalf of Executive provided under Section 4(b) of the employment agreement between Executive and Employer dated June 11, 2020 (the “Employment Agreement”), in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of such Employment Agreement. Executive would not otherwise be entitled to such payments but for his18 promises, covenants and agreements in this Agreement and General Release. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the confidentiality, intellectual property assignment, non-competition, non-solicitation and other restrictive covenants contained in the Employment Agreement (the “Restrictive Covenants”) shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms, and Executive hereby reaffirms Executive’s agreement to comply with such Restrictive Covenants.

2.      The parties agree that the payments described in Section 1 of this Agreement and General Release are in full, final and complete settlement of all claims Executive may have against Employer, its subsidiaries, their respective past and present affiliates, and the respective officers, directors, owners, members, employees, agents, advisors, consultants, insurers, attorneys, successors and/or assigns of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Releasees”). For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement and General Release provides for the sole and exclusive benefits for which Executive is eligible as a result of his termination of employment, and Executive shall not be eligible for any benefits under Employer’s severance plan, if any, or any other agreement or arrangement providing for benefits upon a separation from service other than the Employment Agreement.

3.      Nothing in this Agreement and General Release shall be construed as an admission of liability by Employer or any other Releasee, and Employer specifically disclaims liability to or wrongful treatment of Executive on the part of itself and all other Releasees.

4.      To the extent permitted by applicable law, Executive agrees that he will not encourage or assist any person to litigate claims or file administrative charges against Employer or any other Releasee, unless required to provide testimony or documents pursuant to a lawful subpoena or other compulsory legal process, in which case he agrees to notify Employer immediately of his receipt of such subpoena so that Employer has the opportunity to contest the same. If any court has or assumes jurisdiction of any action against Employer or any of its affiliates on behalf of Executive, Executive will request that court to withdraw from or dismiss the matter with prejudice. Executive further represents that he has reported to Employer in writing any and all work-related injuries that he has suffered or sustained during his employment with Employer or its affiliates.

5.      Executive represents that he has not filed any complaints or charges against Employer or any of its affiliates with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or with any other federal, state or local agency or court.

6.      Executive fully and forever releases and discharges Employer and all other Releasees from any and all legally waivable claims, liabilities, damages, demands, and causes of action or liabilities of any nature or kind, whether now known or unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with Executive’s employment with Employer or any of its affiliates or the termination of such employment; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement and General Release shall either waive any rights or claims of Executive (i) that arise after Executive signs this Agreement and General Release; (ii) to enforce the terms of this Agreement and General Release; (iii) for the provision of accrued benefits conferred to Executive or his beneficiaries

Annex G-13

under the terms of Employer’s medical, dental, life insurance or defined contribution retirement benefit plans or any equity plan to which Executive participated in connection with his employment with Employer; (iv) for fees, expenses and costs, including on behalf of Executive’s attorney; (v) based on Executive’s existing rights to indemnification, if any, by the Employer or its affiliates pursuant to the Employer’s or affiliate’s governing documents or other written arrangements for acts committed during the course of Executive’s employment or existing rights to coverage under any; and (vi) based on Executive’s existing coverage under any directors and officers insurance policy in accordance with the terms of such policy. This release includes but is not limited to claims arising under federal, state or local laws concerning employment discrimination, termination, retaliation and equal opportunity, including but not limited to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988, as amended, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA) (including but not limited to fiduciary claims), claims for attorneys’ fees or costs, any and all statutory or common law provisions relating to or affecting Executive’s employment by Employer or its affiliates, and any and all claims in contract, tort, or premised on any other legal theory. Executive acknowledges that he is releasing claims based on age, race, color, sex, sexual orientation or preference, marital status, religion, national origin, citizenship, veteran status, disability and other legally protected categories. This provision is intended to constitute a general release of all of Executive’s presently existing covered claims against the Releasees, to the maximum extent permitted by law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement and General Release does not purport to waive any claim for worker’s compensation or unemployment benefits, and does not purport to waive or affect any claim that cannot be released by an agreement voluntarily entered into between private parties.

7.      Executive specifically acknowledges that Executive is aware of and familiar with the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides as follows:

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.”

Executive, being aware of this section, hereby expressly waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits Executive may have under California Civil Code Section 1542, as well as any other statutes or common law principles of similar effect.

8.      Nothing in this Agreement and General Release shall be construed to prevent Executive from filing a charge or complaint, including a challenge to the validity of this Agreement, with any governmental agency or from participating in or cooperating with any investigation conducted by any governmental agency. Nevertheless, Executive agrees and understands that this Agreement and General Release waives all claims and rights to monetary or other recovery for any legal claims to the fullest extent permitted by law; and any claims based upon any other theory, whether legal or equitable, arising from or related to any matter or fact arising out the events giving rise to this Agreement and General Release.

9.      Executive acknowledges that all confidential information regarding Employer’s or any of its affiliates’ business compiled, created or obtained by, or furnished to, Executive during the course of or in connection with his employment with Employer or any of its affiliates is the exclusive property of Employer or such affiliate. Upon or before execution of this Agreement and General Release, Executive will return to Employer all originals and copies of any material containing confidential information, and Executive further agrees that he will not, directly or indirectly, use or disclose such information. Executive will also return to Employer upon or before execution of this Agreement and General Release any other items in his possession, custody or control that are the property of Employer, including, but not limited to, his files, credit cards, identification card, data storage devices, passwords and office keys.

10.    Executive acknowledges that (i) he has been given at least twenty-one (21) calendar days to consider this Agreement and General Release and that modifications hereof which are mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto, whether material or immaterial, do not restart the twenty-one day period; (ii) he has seven (7) calendar days from the date he executes this Agreement and General Release in which to revoke it; and (iii) this

Annex G-14

Agreement and General Release will not be effective or enforceable nor the amounts set forth in Section 1 paid unless the seven-day revocation period ends without revocation by Executive. Revocation can be made by delivery and receipt of a written notice of revocation to [INSERT NAME/TITLE AND ADDRESS], by midnight on or before the seventh calendar day after Executive signs the Agreement and General Release.

11.    Executive acknowledges that he has been advised to consult with an attorney of his choice with regard to this Agreement and General Release. Executive hereby acknowledges that he understands the significance of this Agreement and General Release, and represents that the terms of this Agreement and General Release are fully understood and voluntarily accepted by him.

12.    Executive agrees that he will treat the existence and terms of this Agreement and General Release as confidential and will not discuss the Agreement and General Release, its terms or the circumstances surrounding his separation from service with Employer or its affiliate with anyone other than: (i) his counsel or tax advisor as necessary to secure their professional advice, (ii) his spouse or (iii) as may be required by law.

13.    Any non-disclosure provision in this Agreement and General Release does not prohibit or restrict Executive (or Executive’s attorney) from responding to any inquiry about this Agreement and General Release or its underlying facts and circumstances by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), any other self-regulatory organization or governmental entity, or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation. Executive understands and acknowledges that he does not need the prior authorization of the Employer to make any such reports or disclosures and that he is not required to notify the Employer that he has made such reports or disclosures.

14.    Executive shall not make any oral or written statements, either directly or through other persons or entities, which are (i) disparaging to the Employer or any of the Employer’s affiliates, or the management, officers, directors, services, products or operations thereof, or (ii) likely to adversely affect the business relationship of the Employer or its affiliates with the public generally or with any of their respective customers, vendors, suppliers, licensors, lessors, joint venturers, associates, consultants, agents, partners, contractors or employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall not be a violation of this provision for Executive to make truthful statements when required by compulsory legal process or as otherwise may be required by law.

15.    In the event of any lawsuit against Employer or any of its affiliates that relates to alleged acts or omissions by Executive during his employment with Employer or its affiliate, Executive agrees to cooperate with Employer or its affiliate by voluntarily providing truthful and full information as reasonably necessary for Employer or its affiliate to defend against such lawsuit, provided that the Employer shall reimburse Executive’s reasonable expenses incurred in providing such assistance subject to Executive’s delivery of written notice to the Employer prior to the time such expenses are incurred.

RESTRICTIVE COVENANT AGREEMENT

This Restrictive Covenant Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of [__], 2020 by and between Forum Merger II Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and [__] (the “Restricted Party”, and together with Parent, the “Parties”, and each a “Party”). References to the “Company” in this Agreement shall refer to Parent after giving effect to the consummation of the Merger (as defined below) and each of Parent’s direct or indirect Subsidiaries (including Ittella) and any of their respective successors-in-interest or joint ventures (if any).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, this Agreement is being entered into in connection with that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 11, 2020 (the “Signing Date”) (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance therewith, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Parent, Sprout Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), Myjojo, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its subsidiaries, “Ittella”) and the Holder Representative. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.

WHEREAS, Parent (i) is a publicly listed special purpose acquisition vehicle, which has been established for the purpose of effecting an initial business combination, and (ii) has no material operating assets (other than those of a kind customarily held by a special purpose acquisition vehicle).

WHEREAS, pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions contained in, the Merger Agreement, Parent, Merger Sub, Ittella and the Holder Representative will enter into a business combination transaction pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with Ittella continuing as the Surviving Subsidiary.

WHEREAS, as a result of the Merger, (i) the stockholders of Ittella that existed a moment in time prior to the Merger, will have their equity interests in Ittella cancelled and converted into the right to receive the consideration set forth in the Merger Agreement, and (ii) Ittella (as the Surviving Subsidiary) will be a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent.

WHEREAS, the Restricted Party acknowledges and agrees that (i) this Agreement is being entered into as part of the Merger Agreement and the Merger, (ii) the covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement are a material inducement to, and a condition precedent of, Parent’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement and consummate the Merger, (iii) the Restricted Party shall receive substantial direct and indirect benefits by the consummation of the Merger (including the Restricted Party’s portion of the consideration received by such Restricted Party in connection with the Merger), and (iv) Parent and its Affiliates would not obtain the benefit of the bargain set forth in the Merger Agreement as specifically negotiated by the parties thereto if the Restricted Party breached the provisions of this Agreement.

WHEREAS, as a condition to the consummation of the Merger, the Restricted Party has agreed to enter into this Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the mutual promises and covenants of the Parties set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Restricted Party and Parent, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

1.      Covenants of the Restricted Party.

1.1.   Restrictive Covenants.

1.1.1. Non-Competition. During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date, the Restricted Party shall not, and shall cause each of his, her or its controlled Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, own any interest in, control, manage, operate, participate in, develop products for, advise or consult with or render services for (as a director, officer, employee, agent, broker, partner or

Annex H-1

contractor), or engage in activities or businesses, or establish any new businesses, within North America or Europe (the “Territory”) any business that is competitive with the business operated by the Company as of the Signing Date or as of immediately prior to the Closing, including any activities or business (i) engaged in the production, marketing or distribution of (a) plant-based meals or dishes, (b) value-added fruit and vegetables, (c) plant- and/or dairy-based pizza toppings, or (d) plant-based novelty food products, or (ii) that offers any product or service in the same line of business or product or service category as any product or service offered by the Company or in development by the Company (collectively, the “Business”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 1.1.1 shall be deemed not breached solely as a result of the ownership by the Restricted Party or any of his, her or its Affiliates of less than an aggregate of 1% of any class of stock that is subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is listed on a national securities exchange. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement shall not restrict the Restricted Party from performing his or her duties as an officer, director or employee of Parent, its successors-in-interest or their respective Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Restricted Party shall in no way be restricted or prohibited from continuing to hold his passive investment in Good Karma Foods (provided, that, while he may take action to maintain his percentage ownership of Good Karma Foods as of the date hereof, he may not take any action the effect of which would result in an increase in his percentage ownership of Good Karma Foods as of the date hereof unless previously approved by the Monitoring Committee of the Company, which the Company agrees will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed). For the sake of clarity, any increase in Restricted Party’s percentage ownership of Good Karma Foods through the actions of others (such as redemptions, stock splits, or the like) shall not be governed by this restriction.

1.1.2. Non-Solicitation of Business Relations. During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date, the Restricted Party shall not, and shall cause each of his, her or its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, (i) interfere with the relationship between the Company and any Material Business Relationship, (ii) solicit, contact, induce or attempt to induce (or assist any other Person in soliciting, contacting, inducing or attempting to induce), any Material Business Relationship to terminate its relationship with the Company, cease doing business with the Company or terminate or otherwise adversely modify its relationship with the Company, or (iii) acquire or attempt to acquire an interest in any Person or business in which, prior to the Closing, Ittella had either (a) entertained discussions, (b) requested or received information relating to the acquisition of such Person or business, (c) identified to Parent that such Person or business was a potential acquisition target of Ittella, or (d) otherwise contemplated the acquisition of such Person or business. “Material Business Relationship” means any (x) customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, franchisee of the Company as of the Closing or at any time in the twelve (12) month period prior to the Closing, or (y) any other Person with whom the Company, as of the Closing or at any time in the twelve (12) month period prior to the Closing, had a business relation (provided, that any such Person contemplated by this sub-clause (y)) is, was or was likely to become, material to the Company)

1.1.3. Non-Solicitation of Personnel; No Hire. During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date, the Restricted Party shall not, and shall cause each of his, her or its Affiliates not to, and shall not assist any other Person to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, recruit or hire any employee, independent contractor or consultant of the Company (“Company Employee”), or any Person who was an employee, independent contractor or consultant of the Company at any time during the 12-month period before the Closing, and (ii) solicit or encourage any Company Employee to leave the employment of Parent; provided, however, that, without limiting the restrictions against hiring, the provisions of this Section 1.1.3 shall not prevent the Restricted Party or any of his, her or its Affiliates (not including the Company) from making a general solicitation for employment that are not specifically targeted at the Company Employees or other employees of Parent.

1.1.4. Non-Disparagement. From and after the date hereof, the Restricted Party shall not, and shall cause each of his, her or its Affiliates not to, make any negative, derogatory or disparaging statements or communications, either orally or in writing, regarding the Business, the Company and its Affiliates, or any director, manager, officer, agent, representative or direct or indirect equity holder of the Company or its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 1.1.4 shall prevent the Restricted Party from (i) performing his or her duties as an officer, director or employee of Parent, its successors-in-interest or their respective Subsidiaries, or (ii) making any truthful statement to the extent, but only to the extent, (a) necessary with respect to any Action involving this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the enforcement of this Agreement, in the forum in which such Action properly takes place, or (b) required by Law or Governmental Authority.

Annex H-2

1.2    Remedies.

1.2.1 During the duration of any breach of Section 1.1 by the Restricted Party, the restricted period set forth herein shall be tolled.

1.2.2 The Restricted Party acknowledges and agrees that (i) the covenants and agreements contained in Section 1.1 (collectively the “Non-Competition and Related Covenants”) relate to matters that are of a special, unique and extraordinary value; (ii) the Company has one or more legitimate business interest justifying enforcement in full of the Non-Competition and Related Covenants, including for the protection of the goodwill of the business acquired by Parent pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and the Non-Competition and Related Covenants are reasonable and narrowly tailored to protect the compelling interests of Parent, the Company and the Business; (iii) a breach by the Restricted Party of any of the Non-Competition and Related Covenants will result in irreparable harm and damages that cannot be adequately compensated by a monetary award and, accordingly, the Company will be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent or redress any such breach (without posting a bond or other security); (iv) pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Restricted Party will receive valuable consideration (including, as applicable, significant benefits, equity in Parent, cash payments and other valuable consideration), both directly or indirectly, from Parent in connection with the Merger; and (v) the Non-Competition and Related Covenants are intended to comply with the Laws of all jurisdictions that might be deemed to be applicable hereto and which restrict or otherwise limit the enforceability of a Contract that restrains a Person from engaging in a lawful profession, trade or business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the restrictions contained in Section 1.1 shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of their extending for too great a period of time or over too great a geographical area of by reason of their being too extensive in any other respect, Section 1.1 shall be modified to be effective for the maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable and over the maximum geographical area as to which it may be enforceable and to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which it may be enforceable. Parent and the Restricted Party hereby consent and agree to any such reformation of the restrictions to the maximum of enforceability as determined by any court of competent jurisdiction.

2.      Miscellaneous.

2.1.     Severability. Subject to and without limiting the application of Section 1.2, in the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other instrument referred to in this Agreement, shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, then to the maximum extent permitted by Law, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement or any other such instrument. Subject to and without limiting the application of Section 1.2, upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

2.2.     Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of Laws of another jurisdiction.

2.3.     Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

2.3.1. Any Action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be brought in the Delaware Chancery Court (or, if the Delaware Chancery Court shall be unavailable, any other court of the State of Delaware or, in the case of claims to which the federal courts have subject matter jurisdiction, any federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware), and, in each case, appellate courts therefrom, and each of the Parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such Action, waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction, venue or to convenience of forum, agrees that all claims in respect of such Action shall be heard and determined only in any such court, and agrees not to bring any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any other court. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to affect the right of any Party to serve process in any manner permitted by Law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any other party in any other jurisdiction, in each case, to enforce judgments obtained in any Action brought pursuant to this Section 2.3.1.

Annex H-3

2.3.2. Each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any Action arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any Party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such Party would not, in the event of any Action, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver, and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other Party hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waiver and certifications in this Section 2.3.2.

2.4. Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may be modified only by a written instrument duly executed by each Party. No breach of any covenant or agreement shall be deemed waived unless expressly waived in writing by the Party who might assert such breach. No waiver of any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any other right or of the same or a similar right on another occasion.

Re: Sponsor Earnout Letter

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as it may be amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among (i) Forum Merger II Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”), (ii) Sprout Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Parent, (iii) Myjojo, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and (iv) Salvatore Galletti, in the capacity as the initial Holder Representative. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Merger Agreement.

In order to induce the Company to enter into the Merger Agreement, the Sponsor has agreed to enter into this letter agreement (this “Agreement”). Pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Sponsor agrees to place into escrow 2,500,000 shares of Parent Common Stock that were purchased by Sponsor in a private placement prior to the IPO (the “Sponsor Earnout Shares”).

For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Sponsor and each of the undersigned parties hereby agrees as follows:

1.      The Sponsor hereby agrees that, upon and subject to the Closing, the Sponsor will place the Sponsor Earnout Shares into escrow in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement. Sponsor acknowledges and agrees that such Sponsor Earnout Shares will thereafter be subject to the vesting terms set forth in the Merger Agreement and if such vesting conditions are not satisfied, such Sponsor Earnout Shares shall be subject to forfeiture. If all or any portion of the Sponsor Earnout Shares vest in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, any restrictive legends that have been placed on the Sponsor Earnout Shares, other than those, if any, required by applicable securities laws, shall be removed (and the undersigned parties agree to cooperate with the Sponsor in securing the removal of such restrictive legends, if any, that have been placed on the Sponsor Earnout Shares).

2.      The Sponsor hereby agrees that, from and after the Closing, the Sponsor shall not sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of, or hypothecate or otherwise grant any interest in or to, any of the Sponsor Earnout Shares, unless and until such shares have become vested in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

3.      This Agreement, together with the Merger Agreement to the extent referenced herein, constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be changed, amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed by all parties hereto.

Annex I-1

4.      No party hereto may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, and any purported assignment in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void ab initio. This Agreement shall be binding on the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

5.      This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in a manner consistent with the provisions of the Merger Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement, the terms of the Merger Agreement shall govern. The provisions set forth in Section 10.6, 10.7, 10.10 and 10.12 of the Merger Agreement, as in effect as of the date hereof, are hereby incorporated by reference into, and shall be deemed to apply to, this Agreement as if all references to the “Agreement” in such sections were instead references to this Agreement.

6.      Any notice, consent or request to be given in connection with any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent in the same manner as provided in the Merger Agreement, with notices to the Sponsor, the Parent, the Company and the Holder Representative being sent to the addresses set forth therein, in each case with all copies as required thereunder.

7.      This Agreement shall terminate at such time, if any, as the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, and upon such termination this Agreement shall be null and void and of no effect whatsoever, and the parties hereto shall have no obligations under this Agreement.

To assure accuracy of the instructions it receives, the Escrow Agent may record such call backs.

6.      Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth herein, which shall be deemed purely ministerial in nature, and no other duties, including but not limited to any fiduciary duty, shall be implied. The Escrow Agent shall neither be responsible for, nor chargeable with, knowledge of, nor have any requirements to comply with, the terms and conditions of any other agreement, instrument or document between the Parties, in connection herewith, if any, including without limitation the Merger Agreement, nor shall the Escrow Agent be required to determine if any Person has complied with any such agreements, nor shall any additional obligations of the Escrow Agent be inferred from the terms of such agreements, even though reference thereto may be made in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the terms of any other agreement between the Parties, the terms and conditions of this Agreement will control the actions of the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent may rely upon and shall not be liable for acting or refraining from acting upon any Joint Release Instruction or Final Determination furnished to it hereunder and reasonably believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed and presented by an authorized signer of the proper Party or Parties. Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, the Parties shall deliver to the Escrow Agent authorized signers’ forms in the form of Exhibit A-1 and Exhibit A-2. The Escrow Agent shall be under no duty to inquire into or investigate the validity, accuracy or content of any such document, notice, instruction or request; provided, however, that the Escrow Agent may not act upon instruction by either the Parent or the Holder Representative alone where Joint Written Instruction is required as provided hereunder. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to solicit any payments which may be due it or the Escrow Property. In the event that the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions, claims or demands from either Party hereto which, in its opinion, conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, it shall be entitled to (a) refrain from taking any action and its sole obligation shall be to keep safely all property held in escrow until it shall be directed otherwise in a Joint Release Instruction or Final Determination or (b) interplead all of the assets held hereunder into, or may seek other judicial relief or orders from, a court of competent jurisdiction, and the Escrow Agent shall act in accordance with any such judicial relief or court order. The Escrow Agent may consult with legal counsel of its selection in the event of any dispute or question as to the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof or its duties hereunder. The Escrow Agent will not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith except to the extent that the Escrow Agent’s fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct was the direct cause of any loss to either Party. To the extent practicable, the Parties agree to pursue commercially reasonable redress or recourse in connection with any dispute without making the Escrow Agent a party to the same. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, except in the case of the Escrow Agent’s fraud, in no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable, for any special, indirect, punitive, incidental or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Escrow Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such losses or damages and regardless of the form of action.

7.      Resignation and Removal of Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent (a) may resign and be discharged from its duties or obligations hereunder by giving thirty (30) calendar days’ advance notice in writing of such resignation to the Parties specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect or (b) may be removed, with or without cause, by the Parent and the Holder Representative acting jointly at any time by providing written notice to the Escrow Agent. Any corporation or association into which the Escrow Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or association to which all or substantially all of the escrow business of the Escrow Agent’s line of business may be transferred, shall be the Escrow Agent under this Agreement without further act; provided, however, that the Escrow Agent shall give the Parties thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any such change. The Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility after such thirty (30) day notice period expires

Annex J-3

or after receipt of written notice of removal shall be to hold and safeguard the Escrow Property (without any obligation to reinvest the same) and to deliver the same (i) to a substitute or successor escrow agent pursuant to a joint written designation from the Parties, (ii) as set forth in a Joint Release Instruction or (iii) in accordance with the directions of a Final Determination, and, at the time of such delivery, the Escrow Agent’s obligations hereunder shall cease and terminate. In the event the Escrow Agent resigns, if the Parties have failed to appoint a successor escrow agent prior to the expiration of thirty (30) calendar days following receipt of the notice of resignation, the Escrow Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of such a successor escrow agent (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be a comparable nationally recognized financial institution), and any such resulting appointment shall be binding upon all of the parties hereto.

8.      Fees and Expenses. All fees and expenses, if any, of the Escrow Agent are described in Schedule 1 and shall be paid by the Parent. The fees agreed upon for the services to be rendered hereunder are intended as full compensation for the Escrow Agent services as contemplated by this Agreement.

9.      Indemnity. Each of the Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend , and hold harmless the Escrow Agent and its affiliates and their respective successors, assigns, directors, officers, agents and employees (the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, liabilities, penalties, judgments, settlements, actions, suits, proceedings, litigation, investigations, costs or expenses (including the documented and reasonable fees and expenses of one outside counsel and experts) (collectively “Escrow Agent Losses”) arising out of or in connection with (a) the Escrow Agent’s execution and performance of this Agreement, tax reporting or withholding, the enforcement of any rights or remedies under or in connection with this Agreement, or as may arise by reason of any act, omission or error of the Indemnitee, except to the extent that such Escrow Agent Losses, as adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction, have been caused by the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, or (b) the Escrow Agent is following any instructions or other directions from the Parent or the Holder Representative, except to the extent the Escrow Agent following any such instruction or direction is forbidden by the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parent and the Holder Representative agree, solely as between themselves, that any obligation for indemnification under this Section 9 (or for reasonable fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent described in Section 8) shall be borne by the Party or Parties determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be responsible for causing the loss, damage, liability, cost or expense against which the Escrow Agent is entitled to indemnification or, if no such determination is made, then one-half by the Parent and one-half by the Holder Representative. The Parties hereto acknowledge that the foregoing indemnities shall survive the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent or the termination of this Agreement.

10.    Tax Matters.

(a)     The Holder Representative shall be responsible for and the taxpayer on all taxes due on the interest or income earned on the Escrow Property and for any dividends earned on the Escrow Shares for the calendar year in which such interest or income is earned, if any. The Escrow Agent shall report any interest or income earned on the Escrow Property to the IRS or other taxing authority on IRS Form 1099. Prior to the date hereof, the Parties shall provide the Escrow Agent with certified tax identification numbers by furnishing appropriate form W-9 and such other forms and documents that the Escrow Agent may request.

(b)     The Escrow Agent shall be responsible only for income reporting to the Internal Revenue Service with respect to income (if any) earned on the Escrow Funds.

The Escrow Agent shall withhold any taxes required to be withheld by applicable law, including but not limited to required withholding in the absence of proper tax documentation, and shall remit such taxes to the appropriate authorities.

(c)     The Escrow Agent, its affiliates, and its employees are not in the business of providing tax or legal advice to any taxpayer outside of Citigroup, Inc. and its affiliates. This Agreement and any amendments or attachments hereto are not intended or written to be used, and may not be used or relied upon, by any such taxpayer or for the purpose of avoiding tax penalties. Any such taxpayer should seek advice based on the taxpayer’s particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.

11.    Covenant of Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent hereby agrees with and covenants to the Parent and the Holder Representative that it shall perform all of its obligations under this Agreement and shall not deliver custody or possession of any of the Escrow Property to anyone except pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement or as otherwise required by law.

The Escrow Agent may also ask to see licenses, identification and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the entity or other relevant documentation.

20.    SEC Shareholder Disclosure Rule 14b-2. SEC Rule 14b-2 directs the Escrow Agent to contact either Party to request authorization to provide such Party’s name, address and share position with respect to the referenced account to requesting companies whose stock such Party has voting authority over. Under the Rule, the Escrow Agent must make the disclosures for accounts opened after December 28, 1986, if requested, unless a Party specifically objects to disclosure.

To assure accuracy of the instructions it receives, the Escrow Agent may record such call backs.

The persons and telephone numbers for call backs may be changed only in writing, executed by an authorized signer of applicable Party set forth on Exhibit A-1 or Exhibit A-2, actually received and acknowledged by the Escrow Agent.

6.      Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth herein, which shall be deemed purely ministerial in nature, and no other duties, including but not limited to any fiduciary duty, shall be implied. The Escrow Agent shall neither be responsible for, nor chargeable with, knowledge of, nor have any requirements to comply with, the terms and conditions of any other agreement, instrument or document between the Parties, in connection herewith, if any, including without limitation the Merger Agreement, nor shall the Escrow Agent be required to determine if any Person has complied with any such agreements, nor shall any additional obligations of the Escrow Agent be inferred from the terms of such agreements, even though reference thereto may be made in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the terms of any other agreement between the Parties, the terms and conditions of this Agreement will control the actions of the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent may rely upon and shall not be liable for acting or refraining from acting upon any Joint Release Instruction or Final Determination furnished to it hereunder and reasonably believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed and presented by an authorized signer of the proper Party or Parties. Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, the Parties shall deliver to the Escrow Agent authorized signers’ forms in the form of Exhibit A-1 and Exhibit A-2. The Escrow Agent shall be under no duty to inquire into or investigate the validity, accuracy or content of any such document, notice, instruction or request; provided, however, that the Escrow Agent may not act upon instruction by either the Sponsor or the Parent alone where Joint Written Instruction is required as provided hereunder. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to solicit any payments which may be due it or the Escrow Property. In the event that the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions, claims or demands from either Party hereto which, in its opinion, conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, it shall be entitled to (a) refrain from taking any action and its sole obligation shall be to keep safely all property held in escrow until it shall be directed otherwise in a Joint Release Instruction or Final Determination or (b) interplead all of the assets held hereunder into, or may seek other judicial relief or orders from, a court of competent jurisdiction, and the Escrow Agent shall act in accordance with any such judicial relief or court order. The Escrow Agent may consult with legal counsel of its selection in the event of any dispute or question as to the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof or its duties hereunder. The Escrow Agent will not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith except to the extent that the Escrow Agent’s fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct was the direct cause of any loss to either Party. To the extent practicable, the Parties agree to pursue commercially reasonable redress or recourse in connection with any dispute without making the Escrow Agent a party to the same. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, except in the case of the Escrow Agent’s fraud, in no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable, for any special, indirect, punitive, incidental or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Escrow Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such losses or damages and regardless of the form of action.

7.      Resignation and Removal of Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent (a) may resign and be discharged from its duties or obligations hereunder by giving thirty (30) calendar days’ advance notice in writing of such resignation to the Parties specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect or (b) may be removed, with or without cause, by the Sponsor and the Parent acting jointly at any time by providing written notice to the Escrow Agent. Any corporation or association into which the Escrow Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or association to which all or substantially all of the escrow business of the Escrow Agent’s line of business may be transferred, shall be the Escrow Agent under this Agreement without further act; provided, however, that the Escrow Agent shall give the Parties thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any such change. The Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility after such thirty (30) day notice period expires or after receipt of written notice of removal shall be to hold and safeguard the Escrow Property (without any obligation to reinvest the same) and to deliver the same (i) to a substitute or successor escrow agent pursuant to a joint written designation from the Parties, (ii) as set forth in a Joint Release Instruction or (iii) in accordance with the directions of a Final Determination, and, at the time of such delivery, the Escrow Agent’s obligations hereunder shall cease and terminate. In the event the Escrow Agent resigns, if the Parties have failed to appoint a successor escrow agent prior to the expiration of thirty (30) calendar days following receipt of the notice of resignation, the Escrow Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of such a successor escrow agent (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be a comparable nationally recognized financial institution), and any such resulting appointment shall be binding upon all of the parties hereto.

Annex K-3

8.      Fees and Expenses. All fees and expenses, if any, of the Escrow Agent are described in Schedule 1 and shall be paid by the Parent. The fees agreed upon for the services to be rendered hereunder are intended as full compensation for the Escrow Agent services as contemplated by this Agreement.

9.      Indemnity. Each of the Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend , and hold harmless the Escrow Agent and its affiliates and their respective successors, assigns, directors, officers, agents and employees (the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, liabilities, penalties, judgments, settlements, actions, suits, proceedings, litigation, investigations, costs or expenses (including the documented and reasonable fees and expenses of one outside counsel and experts) (collectively “Escrow Agent Losses”) arising out of or in connection with (a) the Escrow Agent’s execution and performance of this Agreement, tax reporting or withholding, the enforcement of any rights or remedies under or in connection with this Agreement, or as may arise by reason of any act, omission or error of the Indemnitee, except to the extent that such Escrow Agent Losses, as adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction, have been caused by the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, or (b) the Escrow Agent is following any instructions or other directions from the Sponsor or the Parent, except to the extent the Escrow Agent following any such instruction or direction is forbidden by the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Sponsor and the Parent agree, solely as between themselves, that any obligation for indemnification under this Section 9 (or for reasonable fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent described in Section 8) shall be borne by the Party or Parties determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be responsible for causing the loss, damage, liability, cost or expense against which the Escrow Agent is entitled to indemnification or, if no such determination is made, then one-half by the Sponsor and one-half by the Parent. The Parties hereto acknowledge that the foregoing indemnities shall survive the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent or the termination of this Agreement.

10.    Tax Matters.

(a)     The Sponsor shall be responsible for and the taxpayer on all taxes due on the interest or income earned on the Escrow Property and for any dividends earned on the Escrow Shares for the calendar year in which such interest or income is earned, if any.

Prior to the date hereof, the Parties shall provide the Escrow Agent with certified tax identification numbers by furnishing appropriate form W-9 and such other forms and documents that the Escrow Agent may request.

The Escrow Agent shall withhold any taxes required to be withheld by applicable law, including but not limited to required withholding in the absence of proper tax documentation, and shall remit such taxes to the appropriate authorities.

(c)     The Escrow Agent, its affiliates, and its employees are not in the business of providing tax or legal advice to any taxpayer outside of Citigroup, Inc. and its affiliates. This Agreement and any amendments or attachments hereto are not intended or written to be used, and may not be used or relied upon, by any such taxpayer or for the purpose of avoiding tax penalties. Any such taxpayer should seek advice based on the taxpayer’s particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.

11.    Covenant of Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent hereby agrees with and covenants to the Sponsor and the Parent that it shall perform all of its obligations under this Agreement and shall not deliver custody or possession of any of the Escrow Property to anyone except pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement or as otherwise required by law.

The Escrow Agent may also ask to see licenses, identification and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the entity or other relevant documentation.

Under the Rule, the Escrow Agent must make the disclosures for accounts opened after December 28, 1986, if requested, unless a Party specifically objects to disclosure.

In addition, the Company shall pay the reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each Nominee in connection with his or her services provided to or on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including attending Board and committee meetings or events attended on behalf of the Company or at the Company’s request.
