INTRODUCTORY NOTE

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed to report matters under items 1.01, 2.01, 3.02, 3.03, 4.01, 5.01, 5.02, 5.03, 5.05, 5.06, 7.01, and 9.01 of Form 8-K. On July 16, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), Celularity Inc. (“Celularity” or the “Company”) (f/k/a GX Acquisition Corp. (“GX”)) consummated the previously announced merger (the “Closing”) pursuant to that certain Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated January 8, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among GX, Alpha First Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of GX (“First Merger Sub”), Celularity LLC (f/k/a Alpha Second Merger Sub LLC), a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of GX (“Second Merger Sub”), and the entity formerly known as Celularity Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Celularity”).

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a business combination between GX and Legacy Celularity was effected through the (a) merger of First Merger Sub with and into Legacy Celularity with Legacy Celularity surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of GX (Legacy Celularity, in its capacity as the surviving corporation of the merger, the “Surviving Corporation”) (the “First Merger”) and (b) immediately following the First Merger and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, the merger of the Surviving Corporation with and into Second Merger Sub, with Second Merger Sub as the surviving entity of the Second Merger, which ultimately resulted in Legacy Celularity becoming a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of GX (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers” and, collectively with the other transactions described in the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”). On the Closing Date, the registrant changed its name from GX Acquisition Corp. to Celularity Inc.

 

Immediately prior to the effective time of the Mergers (the “Effective Time”), each share of preferred stock of Legacy Celularity (the “Legacy Celularity Preferred Stock”) that was issued and outstanding was automatically converted into a number of shares of common stock of Legacy Celularity, par value $0.001 per share (the “Legacy Celularity Common Stock”) at the then-effective conversion rate as calculated pursuant to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Legacy Celularity, dated March 16, 2020, as amended (the “Legacy Celularity Charter”), such that each converted share of Legacy Celularity Preferred Stock was no longer outstanding and ceased to exist, and each holder of Legacy Celularity Preferred Stock thereafter ceased to have any rights with respect to such securities (the “Legacy Celularity Preferred Stock Conversion”).

 

At the Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without any action on the part of GX, First Merger Sub, Legacy Celularity or the holders of any of the following securities:

 

a)each share of Legacy Celularity Common Stock (including shares of Legacy Celularity Common Stock resulting from the conversion of shares of Celularity Preferred Stock described above) that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled and converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Company Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Company Class A Common Stock”) equal to the Exchange Ratio (as defined below) (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”);

 

b)each share of Legacy Celularity Common Stock or Legacy Celularity Preferred Stock (together, “Legacy Celularity Capital Stock”) held in the treasury of Celularity was cancelled without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution was made with respect thereto;

 

c)each share of First Merger Sub common stock, par value $0.01 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation;

 

d)each Legacy Celularity Warrant (as to which no notice of exercise had been delivered to Legacy Celularity prior to the Closing) that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (and which would have otherwise been exercisable in accordance with its terms immediately following the Effective Time), became, to the extent consistent with the terms of such Legacy Celularity Warrant, the right to purchase shares of Company Class A Common Stock (and not Celularity Capital Stock) (each, a “Converted Warrant”) on the same terms and conditions (including exercisability terms) as were applicable to such Legacy Celularity Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that (A) each Converted Warrant became exercisable for that number of shares of Company Class A Common Stock equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (1) the number of shares of Legacy Celularity Common Stock that would have been issuable upon the exercise of a Legacy Celularity Warrant for cash and assuming the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock underlying such outstanding Legacy Celularity Warrant into Legacy Celularity Common Stock (the “Celularity Warrant Shares”) subject to the Legacy Celularity Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time and (2) the Exchange Ratio (as defined below); and (B) the per share exercise price for each share of Company Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Converted Warrant will be equal to the quotient (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) obtained by dividing (1) the per share exercise price for each share of Series B Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of such Celularity Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time by (2) the Exchange Ratio (as defined below); and

 

1

 

 

e)each option to purchase Legacy Celularity Common Stock, whether or not exercisable and whether or not vested, that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Legacy Celularity Option”) was assumed by GX and converted into an option to purchase shares of Company Class A Common Stock (each, a “Converted Option”).

 

The following terms shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them below:

 

Celularity Reference Share Value” means a dollar amount equal to (i) the sum of (a) $1,250,000,000 plus (b) the aggregate dollar amount payable to Legacy Celularity upon the exercise of all Legacy Celularity Options and Legacy Celularity Warrants (as to which no notice of exercise has been delivered to Celularity prior to the Closing) that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (and which would otherwise be exercisable in accordance with its terms immediately following the Effective Time), calculated by adding the sum of all exercise prices under such Celularity Options and Celularity Warrants (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) divided by (ii) the number of Fully Diluted Celularity Shares.

 

Exchange Ratio” means the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Celularity Reference Share Value, by (ii) a dollar amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the Closing Date, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to GX to pay its taxes by (b) the shares of Company Class A Common Stock issued and sold as part of GX Units (which consisted of one share of Company Class A Common Stock and one-half of one redeemable GX warrant) in the GX IPO initial public offering, consummated on May 23, 2019 (the “GX IPO”), contemplated by the prospectus that remain outstanding as of two business days prior to the Closing Date.

 

Fully Diluted Celularity Shares” means, as of the Effective Time, a number of shares of Legacy Celularity Common Stock determined as follows without duplication, and expressed in each case on a fully diluted and as-converted to Legacy Celularity Common Stock basis: (i) the number of shares of Legacy Celularity Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable in respect of all unexpired, issued and outstanding Celularity Options, (iii) the number of shares of Legacy Celularity Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Company Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 3.01(a) (including in respect of any Legacy Celularity Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of a Legacy Celularity Warrant prior to or in connection with the Closing) and (iv) the Legacy Celularity Warrant Shares to the extent the related Company Warrant remains outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (and which would otherwise be exercisable in accordance with its terms immediately following the Effective Time).

 

Legacy Celularity Outstanding Shares” means the total number of shares of Legacy Celularity Common Stock and Legacy Celularity Preferred Stock (on an “as-converted” to Legacy Celularity Common Stock basis) on a fully diluted basis as of the Closing Date using the treasury method of accounting, including, without duplication, the number of shares of Legacy Celularity Common Stock issued upon the Legacy Celularity Preferred Stock Conversion and the number of shares of Legacy Celularity Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of all Legacy Celularity Options and all Legacy Celularity Warrants.

 

Trust Account” means the trust account that holds a portion of the proceeds of GX’s IPO and the concurrent sale of the Warrants.

At the effective time of the Second Merger (the “Second Effective Time”), by virtue of the Second Merger and without any action on the part of GX, Surviving Corporation, Second Merger Sub or the holders of any securities of GX or the Surviving Corporation or the Second Merger Sub: (x) each share of the Surviving Corporation issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time was canceled and ceased to exist without any conversion thereof or payment therefor; and (y) each membership interest in Second Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time was converted into and became one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable membership interest in the Surviving Entity, which constitutes the only outstanding equity of the Surviving Entity. From and after the Second Effective Time, all certificates, if any, representing membership interests in Second Merger Sub have been deemed for all purposes to represent the number of membership interests of the Surviving Entity into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

Please note that the information provided below relates to the combined company after the closing of the Business Combination, unless otherwise specifically indicated or the context otherwise requires.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

each person known by the Company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of Class A Common Stock;
