Item 1.01. Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.

Merger Agreement

On May 15, 2021, SCVX Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“SCVX”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Bloom Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of SCVX (“Merger Sub”), and Bright Machines, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Bright Machines”).

The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were approved by the boards of directors of each of SCVX and Bright Machines.

The Business Combination

The Merger Agreement provides for, among other things, the following transactions: (i) at least one day prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), SCVX will become a Delaware corporation (the “Redomicile”), (ii) immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding share of preferred stock of Bright Machines will automatically convert into a share of common stock of Bright Machines, par value $0.0001 per share (“Bright Machines Common Stock”), at the then-effective conversion rate as calculated pursuant to the terms of the governing documents of Bright Machines (the “Preferred Stock Conversion”), (iii) at the Effective Time, Merger Sub will merge with and into Bright Machines, with Bright Machines as the surviving company in the merger and, after giving effect to such merger, continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of SCVX (the “Merger”), with Bright Machines having the option to elect to cause the parties to restructure the transactions to add a second merger to take place immediately after the Effective Time whereby Bright Machines, as the surviving company in the Merger, would merge with and into SCVX or a new limited liability company that is a wholly owned subsidiary of SCVX and (iv) at the Effective Time, SCVX’s name will be changed to “Bright Machines, Inc.” The Redomicile, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the “Business Combination”.

The Business Combination is expected to close in the second half of 2021, following the receipt of the required approval by SCVX’s stockholders and the fulfillment of other customary closing conditions. SCVX will apply to list the securities of the combined company on Nasdaq effective as of no later than the effective time of the Merger.

Business Combination Consideration

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, each share of Bright Machines Common Stock, following the Preferred Stock Conversion and other than any Cancelled Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and Dissenting Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement) shall be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of SCVX (“SCVX Common Stock”) at an exchange ratio determined in accordance with the Merger Agreement based on a pre-money enterprise value of Bright Machines of $1.1 billion and $10.00 price per share of SCVX Common Stock. In addition, in the event that the closing sale price of SCVX Common Stock exceeds certain price thresholds for 20 out of any 30 consecutive trading days during the first five years following the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), up to an additional 23,000,000 shares of SCVX Common Stock may be issued to the parties that were holders of Bright Machines Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Business Combination.

Governance

SCVX has agreed to take all action within its power as may be necessary or appropriate such that, effective immediately after the closing of the Business Combination, the SCVX board of directors shall consist of eight directors, which shall be divided into three classes. Following the completion of the transaction, Amar Hanspal will continue to lead Bright Machines as Chief Executive Officer.

Representations and Warranties; Covenants

The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants of each of the parties thereto that are customary for transactions of this type, including with respect to the operations of SCVX and Bright Machines and that each of the parties have undertaken to procure approval under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”). In addition, SCVX has agreed to adopt an equity incentive plan and employee stock purchase plan, as described in the Merger Agreement.

In addition, the obligation of SCVX to consummate the Business Combination is subject to the fulfillment of other closing conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) the representations and warranties of Bright Machines being true and correct to the standards applicable to such representations and warranties and each of the covenants of Bright Machines having been performed or complied with in all material respects and (ii) no Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement) shall have occurred.

The obligation of Bright Machines to consummate the Business Combination is also subject to the fulfillment of other closing conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) the representations and warranties of SCVX and Merger Sub being true and correct to the standards applicable to such representations and warranties and each of the covenants of SCVX having been performed or complied with in all material respects, (ii) the aggregate cash proceeds from SCVX’s trust account, together with the PIPE Financing (as defined below) plus any amount raised pursuant to permitted equity financings prior to Closing (“Permitted Equity Financing”), equaling no less than $375,000,000 (after deducting any amounts paid to SCVX shareholders that exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination and net of unpaid transaction expenses incurred or subject to reimbursement by SCVX), (iii) the approval by Nasdaq of SCVX’s listing application in connection with the Business Combination and (iv) the consummation of the Redomicile.

Termination

The Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances prior to the closing of the Business Combination, including, but not limited to, (i) by mutual written consent of SCVX and Bright Machines, (ii) by SCVX if the representations and warranties of Bright Machines are not true and correct to the standards applicable to such representations and warranties or if Bright Machines fails to perform any covenant or agreement set forth in the Merger Agreement such that certain conditions to closing cannot be satisfied and the breach or breaches of such representations or warranties or the failure to perform such covenant or agreement, as applicable, are not cured or cannot be cured within certain specified time periods, (iii) by Bright Machines if the representations and warranties of SCVX are not true and correct to the standards applicable to such representations and warranties or if SCVX fails to perform any covenant or agreement set forth in the Merger Agreement such that certain conditions to closing cannot be satisfied and the breach or breaches of such representations or warranties or the failure to perform such covenant or agreement, as applicable, are not cured or cannot be cured within certain specified time periods, (iv) subject to certain limited exceptions, by either SCVX or Bright Machines if the Business Combination is not consummated by January 14, 2022, (v) by either SCVX or Bright Machines if certain required approvals are not obtained by SCVX shareholders after the conclusion of a meeting of SCVX’s stockholders held for such purpose at which such shareholders voted on such approvals, (vi) by SCVX if Bright Machines’ shareholders do not deliver to SCVX a written consent approving the Business Combination by 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the first business day following the date of the Merger Agreement (which has been delivered) and (vii) by SCVX if Bright Machines has not delivered the requisite financial statements for inclusion in the Registration Statement on or before August 15, 2021.

If the Merger Agreement is validly terminated, none of the parties to the Merger Agreement will have any liability or any further obligation under the Merger Agreement other than customary confidentiality obligations, except in the case of Willful Breach (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

A copy of the Merger Agreement is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto. 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 such agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement are also modified in important part by the underlying disclosure 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. SCVX does not believe that these schedules contain information that is material to an investment decision.

PIPE Financing (Private Placement)

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, SCVX entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (the “PIPE Investors”). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the PIPE Investors agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and SCVX agreed to issue and sell to such investors, an aggregate of 20,500,000 shares of SCVX Common Stock for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $205,000,000 (the “PIPE Financing”).

The closing of the PIPE Financing is contingent upon, among other things, the substantially concurrent consummation of the Business Combination. The Subscription Agreements provide that SCVX will grant the investors in the PIPE Financing certain customary registration rights.

The foregoing description of the Subscription Agreements and the PIPE Financing is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Subscription Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Sponsor Support Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, SCVX USA LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), other holders of Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Ordinary Shares” and such holders, the “Insiders”), of SCVX, and XN LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“XN”), entered into a Sponsor Support Agreement (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”) with SCVX and Bright Machines, pursuant to which the Sponsor and the Insiders agreed, among other things, (i) to vote at any meeting of the shareholders of SCVX all of their ordinary shares held of record or thereafter acquired in favor of the Proposals (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (ii) to be bound by certain other covenants and agreements related to the Business Combination, (iii) to be bound by certain transfer restrictions with respect to such securities, prior to the closing of the Business Combination, and (iv) subject to certain customary exceptions, not to, and to cause their respective affiliates and permitted transferees not to, transfer any SCVX Common Stock until the earlier of (a) the date which is one year after the Closing Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and (b) (x) the first date which is at least 180 days after the Closing, if the last reported sale price of SCVX Common Stock on Nasdaq equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any consecutive 30 trading day period commencing at least 150 days following the Closing Date or (y) the date following the Closing Date on which SCVX completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of SCVX’s shareholders having the right to exchange their SCVX Common Stock for cash, securities or other property without SCVX’s prior written consent, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Sponsor Support Agreement. The parties further agreed to discuss in good faith and make certain revisions to the terms of SCVX’s warrants issued in private placements subject to, and on the terms described in, the Sponsor Support Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Sponsor Support Agreement is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Sponsor Support Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.2 hereto, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

At the closing of the Business Combination, the Sponsor and the other Insiders have agreed to transfer 50% of their Class B Ordinary Shares and private placement warrants to XN.

Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement

At the closing of the Business Combination, Bright Machines, the Sponsor, XN and certain other stockholders of Bright Machines will enter into an amended and restated registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, the parties thereto will be granted certain customary registration rights with respect to shares of the post-Business Combination company.

The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit C to Exhibit 2.1 hereto, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.
