Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

The Business Combination Agreement

On July 8, 2021, Far Peak Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“FPAC”) entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “BCA”), by and among (i) FPAC, (ii) Bullish, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Pubco”), (iii) BMC 1, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Merger Sub 1), (iv) BMC 2, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Merger Sub 2”, and together with Merger Sub 1 the “Merger Subs) and (v) Bullish Global, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Bullish Global”).

The BCA and the transaction contemplated thereby were unanimously approved by the board of directors of each of FPAC and Bullish Global.

Pursuant to the BCA, on the closing date FPAC will merge with and into Merger Sub 1, with Merger Sub 1 as the surviving entity in the merger, and, after giving effect to such merger, continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (the “Initial Merger”). Following the Initial Merger, Merger Sub 2 will merge with and into Bullish Global, with Bullish Global as the surviving entity in the merger, and, after giving effect to such merger, continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (the “Acquisition Merger”). The Initial Merger, the Acquisition Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the BCA are hereinafter referred to as the “Business Combination.”

The Business Combination

Subject to, and in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the BCA, in connection with the Initial Merger, (i) every issued and outstanding Class A and Class B ordinary share of FPAC will convert automatically into one Pubco Class A ordinary share and (ii) each issued and outstanding warrant of FPAC will convert automatically into a warrant to purchase one Pubco Class A ordinary share on the same terms (the “Warrants”).

Subject to, and in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the BCA, in connection with the Acquisition Merger, (i) (a) each outstanding Bullish Global Class B preference share will automatically convert into one Bullish Global Class C common share and (b) thereafter each issued and outstanding Bullish Global Class C common share will convert automatically into such number of Pubco Class A ordinary shares that is equal to the Exchange Ratio (as described below and more fully defined in the BCA), (ii) each issued and outstanding Bullish Global Class A common share will convert automatically into such number of Pubco Class B ordinary shares that is equal to the Exchange Ratio, (iii) each Bullish Global restricted stock unit will cease to represent the right to acquire Bullish Global Class C common shares and will be cancelled in exchange for a right to acquire a number of Pubco Class A ordinary shares under the Pubco Equity Plan (as defined in the BCA) equal to the product of (a) the number of Bullish Global Class C common shares subject to such Bullish Global restricted stock unit and (b) the Exchange Ratio, and (iv) each Bullish Global option will cease to represent the right to purchase Bullish Global Class C common shares and will be cancelled in exchange for an option to purchase a number of Pubco Class A ordinary shares under the Pubco Equity Plan equal to the product of (a) the number of Bullish Global Class C common shares subject to such Bullish Global option, and (b) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share equal to (x) the exercise price per share of such Bullish Global option, divided by (y) the Exchange Ratio. The Pubco Class A ordinary shares will have voting rights of one vote per share and the Pubco Class B ordinary shares will have voting rights of ten votes per share.

The “Exchange Ratio” is a number determined by (i) dividing the Acquisition Merger Consideration (as described below and more fully defined in the BCA) by $10 and (ii) divided by the number of Bullish Global shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Acquisition Merger. “Acquisition Merger Consideration” is defined in the BCA as the amount equal to the aggregate market value equivalent of the cryptocurrencies held by Bullish Global at the closing (the “Digital Asset Market Value”), plus the amount of cash Bullish Global has at the closing, plus $2,500,000,000, minus, if applicable, any FPAC transaction expenses that exceed thresholds set forth in the BCA. The Digital Asset Market Value is calculated based on the average daily price of the relevant cryptocurrency, as determined by using a specified data source, in the twenty-calendar day period ending on the date of the delivery of the closing statement by Bullish Global, which is to be delivered three business days prior to the closing of the Initial Merger. To the extent a price is unavailable on a particular day, the first immediately prior day with a price will be used for that day.

Contribution Agreement and Master Services Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the BCA, Bullish Global, Block.one and certain of their respective affiliates have entered into a Contribution Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) and a Master Services Agreement (the “Master Services Agreement”). Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement Block.one and certain of its affiliates will agree to contribute certain assets and personnel to Bullish Global and certain of its affiliates. Pursuant to the Master Services Agreement Block.one and certain of its affiliates will agree to provide certain services to Bullish Global and certain of its affiliates until the Contribution Agreement terminates.

Termination

The BCA may be terminated at any time prior to the consummation of the Business Combination by written consent of the FPAC and Bullish Global and in certain other circumstances, including, but not limited to: (i) if the transactions have not been consummated by March 8, 2022 and the delay in closing beyond such date is not due to the breach of the BCA by the party seeking to terminate, (ii) a government entity of competent jurisdiction has issued an order or any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Business Combination, (iii) the Business Combination and other related proposals are not approved by FPAC’s shareholders at the duly convened meeting of FPAC’s shareholders, (iv) if the PCAOB Audited Financial Statements have not been delivered to FPAC on or prior to October 8, 2021 and (v) FPAC’s board of directors has made a Change in Recommendation.
