UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Defined terms included below have the same meaning as terms defined and included elsewhere in this Form 8-K.

 

Introduction

 

As previously announced on April 27, 2023, Arrowroot, Merger Sub, and iLearningEngines entered into the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which Merger Sub was to be merged with and into iLearningEngines, whereupon the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub would ceased and iLearningEngines, renamed as iLearningEngines Holdings, Inc., would become the surviving company and continue in existence as a wholly owned subsidiary of Arrowroot, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein. The Business Combination closed on April 16, 2024.

 

Upon the closing of the Business Combination, Arrowroot has been renamed as “iLearningEngines, Inc.” (“New iLearningEngines”). New iLearningEngines is providing the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to aid in the analysis of the financial aspects of the Business Combination and other events contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.

 

iLearningEngines was incorporated in Delaware on November 17, 2010. The Company offers an AI Learning and Engagement platform focused on automation of learning and enabling organizations to drive mission critical outcomes at scale. The Company’s cloud-based platform is being deployed globally into some of the most demanding vertical markets including healthcare, education, insurance, retail, oil & gas/energy, manufacturing and the government.

 

Arrowroot was a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on November 5, 2020. 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. On March 4, 2021, the Company consummated its initial public offering of 28,750,000 Units, including 3,750,000 units as a result of the underwriter’s full exercise of their over-allotment option at an offering price of $10.00 per unit and a private placement with sponsor, Arrowroot Acquisition LLC, of 8,250,000 private placement warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The net proceeds from Units together with certain of the proceeds from the Private Placement, $287,500,000 in the aggregate, were placed in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders and the underwriter of the initial public offering with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee. On February 28, 2023, Arrowroot held a special meeting of its stockholders regarding the Extension, at which Arrowroot stockholders approved the Extension. Approximately 85% of the Public Shares in the Trust were redeemed in connection with the Extension leaving approximately $45 million in the Trust Account after the satisfaction of such redemptions.

 

On February 2, 2024, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Extension Special Meeting”) to approve an amendment to Arrowroot’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended (the “Charter Amendment”), to extend the Termination Date from February 4, 2024 to March 6, 2024 (the “Initial Subsequent Charter Extension Date”) and to allow the Company, without another stockholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date to consummate an initial business combination on a monthly basis up to five times by an additional one month each time after the Initial Subsequent Charter Extension Date (the Initial Subsequent Charter Extension Date, as further extended by the Company, the “Subsequent Extension Date”), by resolution of the Company’s board of directors, if requested by the Sponsor, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until August 6, 2024, unless the closing of an initial business combination shall have occurred prior thereto (the “Subsequent Extension Proposal”).

 

In connection with the vote to approve the Charter Amendment, the holders of 3,428,783 shares of Class A common stock properly exercised their right to redeem their shares (and did not withdraw their redemption) for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.59 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $36,309,429. After the satisfaction of such redemptions, the balance in the Company’s Trust Account was approximately $10.77 million.

 

 

Merger Sub was a newly formed, wholly owned, direct subsidiary of Arrowroot that was formed for the purposes of consummating the Business Combination on April 27, 2023. Merger Sub has no material assets and did not operate any businesses. Accordingly, no financial statements of Merger Sub have been included in this Form 8-K.

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 assumes that the Business Combination occurred on December 31, 2023. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 present pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had been completed on January 1, 2023.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been presented for illustrative purposes only and do not necessarily reflect what New iLearningEngines financial condition or results of operations would have been had the acquisition occurred on the dates indicated. Further, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of New iLearningEngines. 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 unaudited pro forma adjustments represent management’s estimates based on information available as of the date of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and analyses are performed.

The historical financial information of Arrowroot was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in Arrowroot’s Form 10-K incorporated into this Form 8-K by reference.

The price per share at which the Principal (as defined in the 2024 Convertible Note Purchase Agreement), together with accrued but unpaid interest, on each 2024 Convertible Note converts into Incentive Shares (as defined in the 2024 Convertible Note Purchase Agreement) is referred to as the “Conversion Price” herein.

 

In the event that the VWAP (as defined in the 2024 Convertible Note Purchase Agreement) of the New iLearningEngines Common Stock over the ten (10) trading days immediate preceding November 30, 2024 (the “Reference Date”) is below the Conversion Price, then the 2024 Convertible Note shall be converted into shares of New iLearningEngines Common Stock, together with a make-whole payment equal to a number of additional Incentive Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to (i) the Conversion Price, divided by the Reference Price (as defined below), minus (ii) one (1). “Reference Price” means the greater of (i) the VWAP of the New iLearningEngines Common Stock over the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the Reference Date and (ii) $1.00. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum number of shares issuable pursuant to the 2024 Convertible Notes shall not exceed 10,000,000 Incentive Shares.

On April 16, 2024, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination and as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, New iLearningEngines, Arrowroot Acquisition LLC (the “Sponsor”), the independent directors of Arrowroot, and certain former stockholders of Legacy iLearningEngines and certain of their respective affiliates entered into an amended and restated registration rights agreement (the “Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to file a registration statement to register for resale, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), certain New iLearningEngines securities that are held by the parties thereto (the “Registrable Securities”).

The Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement will terminate with respect to any party thereto, on the date that such party no longer holds any Registrable Securities. Each 2024 Convertible Note Investor signed a joinder to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement.

 

Forward Purchase Agreement

 

On April 26, 2023, Arrowroot and Polar entered into an agreement (“Forward Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Arrowroot agreed to purchase up to 2,500,000 shares of Arrowroot Class A Common Stock from Polar at the price equal to the redemption price of the Public Shares at the Closing, plus $0.60 (the “FPA Redemption Price”). In exchange for Arrowroot’s purchase of the shares, Polar agreed to waive redemption rights on the shares that Polar owns in connection with the Business Combination. The Forward Purchase Agreement provides that at Closing, Arrowroot would pre-pay to Polar for the forward purchase an amount equal to the Prepayment Amount (as defined in the Forward Purchase Agreement). The scheduled maturity date of the forward transaction is one year from the Closing of the Business Combination (the “Maturity Date”), except that the Maturity Date may be accelerated if the shares trade under $2.00 for 10 out of 30 days or the shares are delisted by Nasdaq. Polar has the right to early terminate the transaction (in whole or in part) before the Maturity Date by delivering notice to Arrowroot. If Polar terminates the Forward Purchase Agreement with respect to some or all of the shares prior to the Maturity Date, Polar will return to Arrowroot the terminated shares and Arrowroot will make a payment equal to the number of such terminated shares multiplied by the FPA Redemption Price. Arrowroot can terminate the Forward Purchase Agreement prior to the redemption deadline if Arrowroot pays Polar a $300,000 break-up fee. On the Maturity Date, if Polar has not terminated the Forward Purchase Agreement in full, then Arrowroot may be required to make a cash payment to Polar equal to the number of shares (less any shares terminated prior to the Maturity Date) multiplied by $0.60, minus the Prepayment Amount.

 

On February 2, 2024, the Company entered into a Non-Redemption Agreement (the “Non-Redemption Agreement”) with Polar to redeem its shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “Class A Common Stock”) at the special meeting of stockholders held on February 2, 2024 (the “Extension Special Meeting”). Pursuant to the Non-Redemption Agreement, Polar agreed not to request redemption of 410,456 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Non-Redeemed Shares”) in connection with the Extension Special Meeting. In consideration of Polar entering into the Non-Redemption Agreement, immediately following the closing of the Company’s initial business combination, Arrowroot agreed to forfeit 82,091 shares of Class B common stock (the “Class B Common Stock”), or 41,046 shares of Class B Common Stock in the event the initial business combination is consummated in February 2024 (“Forfeited Shares”). Pursuant to the terms of the Non-Redemption Agreement, the Company agreed to issue Polar and Polar agreed to acquire from the Company, a number of newly issued shares of common stock promptly following the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination.

 

Contingent on the closing of the Business Combination, Polar will purchase a number of shares up to 2,500,000 shares less the Public Shares (defined as number of shares owned by Polar on the day prior to the close of the Business Combination) from Arrowroot for the FPA Redemption Price per share (known as “Private Shares”). The purchase of the Private Shares will close promptly after the closing of the Business Combination. On April 9, 2024, Arrowroot and Polar entered into an agreement to modify the Forward Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which, Polar agreed not to purchase the Private Shares in exchange for $246,600. The agreement is contingent upon and effective immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination.

Deferred Underwriting Fee

 

On March 27, 2024, Arrowroot and Cantor entered into the Fee Reduction Agreement, pursuant to which Cantor has agreed to forfeit $4,062,500 of the deferred underwriting fees payable, resulting in a remainder of $6,000,000 of deferred underwriting fees payable (the “Reduced Deferred Fee”) by Arrowroot to Cantor subject to the closing of the Business Combination. The Reduced Deferred Fee shall be payable to Cantor in the form of shares of New iLearningEngines Common Stock in an amount of shares equal to the greater of (i) $6,000,000, divided by $10.00 and (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) $6,000,000 by (y) the VWAP (as defined in the Fee Reduction Agreement) of New iLearningEngines Common Stock over the seven (7) trading days immediately prior to the initial filing of the Resale Registration Statement (as defined in the Fee Reduction Agreement). Under the Fee Reduction Agreement, the combined company will be subject to, among others, certain obligations with respect to the filing of the resale registration statement and maintaining the continued effectiveness of the resale registration statement, and a failure of the combined company to discharge such obligations may result in the ability of Cantor to require the combined company to pay the Reduced Deferred Fee in cash. The Fee Reduction Agreement only applies to the consummation of the Business Combination with iLearningEngines and no other potential business combinations that may be contemplated or consummated by Arrowroot. In the event that Arrowroot does not consummate the Business Combination with iLearningEngines, the original deferred fee shall become due and payable by Arrowroot to Cantor as originally set forth in the Underwriting Agreement, upon the consummation of a business combination. The foregoing description of the Fee Reduction Agreement is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Fee Reduction Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.36 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

  

Mizuho Fee Agreement

If iLearningEngines elects to pay the Mizuho Fee in New iLearningEngines Shares, then prior to the issuance of such shares, iLearningEngines has agreed to register such shares on Form S-3 or Form S-1 or any similar long-form registration statement that may be available at such time and to list such shares on the principal national securities exchange on which the New iLearningEngines Shares are then listed and traded. The foregoing description of the Amended Mizuho Engagement Letter is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended Mizuho Engagement Letter, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.37 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Cooley Fee Agreement

 

On October 20, 2020, Cooley and Arrowroot entered into a letter agreement (the “Cooley Engagement Letter”) pursuant to which Arrowroot engaged Cooley as a law firm in connection with the Business Combination. On March 27, 2024, Cooley and Arrowroot amended the Cooley Engagement Letter (the “Cooley Amendment”), to provide that, Arrowroot will pay to Cooley $2,000,000 in law fees (the “Cooley Deferred Law Fee”) in the form of a certain number of shares (the “Cooley Fee Shares”).

Under the Cooley Amendment, the combined company will be subject to, among others, certain obligations with respect to the filing of the resale registration statement and maintaining the continued effectiveness of the resale registration statement.

 

Accounting Treatment of the Business Combination

 

The Business Combination is being accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP as iLearningEngines has been determined to be the accounting acquirer. Under this method of accounting, while Arrowroot is the legal acquirer, it is treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination is treated as the equivalent of iLearningEngines issuing stock for the net assets of Arrowroot, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Arrowroot are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination are those of iLearningEngines.

  

iLearningEngines has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:

 

  The acquirer usually is the combining entity whose owners as a group retain or receive the largest portion of the voting rights in the combined entity. iLearningEngines holds majority voting interest (i.e., 50% or more voting interest);

 

  The acquirer usually is the combining entity whose owners have the ability to elect or appoint or to remove a majority of the members of the governing body of the combined entity. iLearningEngines’ existing directors and individuals designated by, or representing, iLearningEngines’ existing stockholders will constitute at least three of the potential seven members of the initial New iLearningEngines Board following the consummation of the Business Combination, whereas one member will be designated by Arrowroot and the remainder to be mutually agreed by iLearningEngines and Arrowroot, indicating iLearningEngines’ existing directors and individuals will have more influence on the board of directors than Arrowroot;

 

  The acquirer usually is the combining entity whose former management dominates the management of the combined entity. The representatives of iLearningEngines in the board of directors dominates the management of the combined entity;

 

  The acquirer usually is the combining entity whose relative size (measured in, for example, assets, revenues, or earnings), is significantly larger than that of the other combining entity or entities. iLearningEngines is larger than Arrowroot based on balance sheet composition as of December 31, 2023, as well as revenues and operating income. Therefore, management determined that iLearningEngines’ relative size and scope of business is larger than Arrowroot; and

  New iLearningEngines will continue to operate under the iLearningEngines tradename and the headquarters of New iLearningEngines will be iLearningEngines’ existing headquarters and the business combination was initiated by iLearningEngines.

 

Other factors were considered, including the purpose and intent of the Business Combination, noting that the preponderance of evidence as described above is indicative that iLearningEngines is the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination.

 

The following summarizes the pro forma shares of common stock of the Post-Combination Company outstanding immediately after the Closing of the Business Combination:

   No. of Shares   % 
Former iLearningEngines equity holders   109,684,738    81.3%

(1)Excludes Convertible Notes held by affiliates of the Sponsor.
(2)Excludes 8,250,000 Private Warrants held by the Sponsor and includes 2,838,916 shares from conversion of Convertible Notes from Arrowroot Capital and 460,384 shares from conversion of Arrowroot Promissory Notes.

If the Company repays the Term Loans on or before (i) April 15, 2024, then 90% of the Loan Restructuring Shares will be cancelled, (ii) May 1, 2024, then 80% of the Loan Restructuring Shares will be cancelled, and (iii) July 1, 2024, then 50% of the Loan Restructuring Shares will be cancelled.

Amended Disclosure Regarding Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information 

 

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

 

The Business Combination is being accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP as iLearningEngines has been determined to be the accounting acquirer, primarily due to the fact that iLearningEngines will control New iLearningEngines. Under this method of accounting, while Arrowroot is the legal acquirer, it is treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination is treated as the equivalent of iLearningEngines issuing stock for the net assets of Arrowroot, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Arrowroot are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination are those of iLearningEngines.

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, assumes that the Business Combination occurred on December 31, 2023. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 present pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had been completed on January 1, 2023.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 and unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 have been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

 

  iLearningEngines’ audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 and the related notes as of December 31, 2023, included elsewhere in this Form 8-K.

 

  Arrowroot’s audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 and the related notes as of December 31, 2023, incorporated by reference elsewhere in this Form 8-K, refer to the Arrowroot’s 10-K filed on April 1, 2024.

 

  iLearningEngines’ audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 and the related notes, included elsewhere in this Form 8-K.

 

  Arrowroot’s audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 and the related notes, incorporated by reference elsewhere in this Form 8-K, refer to the Arrowroot’s 10-K filed on April 1, 2024.

 

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 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 pro forma adjustments, and it is possible the difference may be material. New iLearningEngines 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 pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

 

The pro forma above reflect the basis the minimum cash condition has been waived as of the Closing Date.

Note 2. Accounting Policies

 

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, management will perform a comprehensive review of the two entities’ accounting policies. As a result of the review, management may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two entities which, when conformed, could have a material impact on the financial statements of New iLearningEngines. Based on its initial analysis, management did not identify any differences that would have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. As a result, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not assume any differences in accounting policies.

Note 4. Pro Forma Loss per Share

 

Represents the net loss per share calculated using the historical weighted average shares outstanding, and the issuance of additional shares in connection with the Business Combination, assuming the shares were outstanding since January 1, 2023. As the Business Combination and related transactions are being reflected as if they had occurred as of January 1, 2023, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the shares issuable relating to the Business Combination have been outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2023.

  

(in thousands, except share and per share data)  Year ended
December 31,
2023
 
Pro forma net loss  $(78,071)
Weighted-average shares outstanding, basic and diluted (1)(2)   133,950,115
