(e)

each Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, will be converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of the applicable class of New Kensington Common Stock that the pre-conversion Company Option covers (such option, an “Exchanged Option”) equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (A) the exercise price per share of such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (B) Exchange Ratio.

(f)

each share of Company Restricted Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into restricted shares of the applicable class of New Kensington Common Stock that the pre-conversion Company Restricted Stock covers (such share of restricted Common Stock, an “Exchanged Restricted Common Stock”) equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (i) the number of shares of Company Restricted Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the Exchange Ratio.

(h)

each Company Warrant that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into a warrant to purchase a number of shares of the applicable class of New Kensington Common Stock that corresponded to the class for which the pre-conversion Company Warrant was exercisable (such warrant, an “Exchanged Warrant”) equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (A) the exercise price per share of such Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio. Except as specifically provided above, following the Effective Time, each Exchanged Warrant shall continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including vesting and exercisability terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time.

The foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Business Combination Agreement filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Business Combination Agreement is included to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms.

The Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement further provides for the securities of Kensington held by the Holders to be locked-up for a period of time following the Closing, as described below, subject to certain exceptions.

The closing of the sale of the PIPE Shares pursuant to the Subscription Agreement is contingent upon, among other customary closing conditions, the substantially concurrent consummation of the Proposed Transactions.

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, Kensington agreed, among other things, that, within 15 business days after the consummation of the Proposed Transactions (the “Filing Deadline”), Kensington will file with the SEC (at Kensington’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the PIPE Shares (the “Resale Registration Statement”), and Kensington will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Resale Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof.

These transfer restrictions are subject to earlier release if (a) Kensington completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction after the Closing that results in all of Kensington’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property; (b) VGA terminates for any reason the Amended and Restated Joint Venture Agreement, dated as of May 14, 2020, by and among the Company and VGA; (c) VGA issues a critical or negative statement regarding Kensington and its technology unless such statement is required to be made by VGA under applicable law and is truthful and accurate; or (d) VGA transfers certain Kensington securities in excess of the amounts set forth in the Senior Employee Lock-Up Agreements.

These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of Kensington and the Company. These forward looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including general economic, financial, legal, political and business conditions and changes in domestic and foreign markets; the outcome of judicial proceedings to which Kensington or the Company may become a party (including any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Kensington or the Company following announcement of the Proposed Transactions); the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the Proposed Transactions or to satisfy the other conditions to the closing of the Proposed Transactions, including the risk that any required regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company; the risk that the approval of the stockholders of Kensington for the Proposed Transactions is not obtained; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Transactions, including as a result of a delay in consummating the Proposed Transaction or difficulty in, or costs associated with, integrating the businesses of Kensington and the Company; the amount of redemption requests made by Kensington’s stockholders; the occurrence of events that may give rise to a right of one or both of Kensington and the Company to terminate the Business Combination Agreement; risks related to the rollout of the Company’s business, the development and performance of the Company’s products, and the timing of expected business milestones; the risk that the Proposed Transactions disrupt Kensington’s or the Company’s current plans and operations as a result of the announcement of the Proposed Transactions; the ability to grow and manage growth following the Proposed Transactions; the effects of competition on the Company’s future business; and those factors discussed in Kensington’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended, under the heading “Risk Factors,” and other documents of Kensington filed, or to be filed, with the SEC. If the risks materialize or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither Kensington nor the Company presently do not know or that Kensington and the Company currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect Kensington’s and the Company’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Kensington and the Company anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause their assessments to change. However, while Kensington and the Company may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Kensington and the Company specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Kensington’s or the Company’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
