Between March 2018 and March 2021, the RETV Funds invested an aggregate of $26.0 million in multiple series of preferred stock of SmartRent.com, Inc., a privately held Delaware corporation (“Legacy SmartRent”).

Merger Sub was merged with and into Legacy SmartRent, with Legacy SmartRent surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Business Combination” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”).

 

As a result of the Business Combination, each share of Legacy SmartRent preferred stock was automatically converted into common stock of Legacy SmartRent and such shares of Legacy SmartRent common stock (including the shares owned by the RETV Funds) were converted into the right to receive approximately 4.8846 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock.

As a result, a Legacy SmartRent warrant held by RET SPV I was converted into a warrant to purchase an aggregate of 1,874,036 shares of Class A Common Stock, which warrant was at such time exercisable as to 50% of the subject shares.

 

 12 

 

 

The funds used by the RETV Funds to acquire the securities of Legacy SmartRent that were exchanged for shares of Class A Common Stock in the Business Combination were obtained from capital contributions by their respective partners.

1.5Sale, Merger, Consolidation or Liquidation of the Company.

 

(a)            “Liquidation Event”. For the purpose of this Warrant, “Liquidation Event” means (i) a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in effect on the date hereof and as amended from time to time hereafter), or (ii) the closing of the transfer (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to a person or group of affiliated persons (other than an underwriter of the Company’s securities), of the Company’s securities if, after such closing, such person or group of affiliated persons would hold 75% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the Company (or the surviving or acquiring entity), other than for the purpose of redomesticating the Company or effecting a similar transaction, and, for purposes of clarity, shall not include one or more financings for the principal purpose of raising capital.

 

(b)            Termination of Warrant. This warrant will, automatically and without further action by the Company or Holder, terminate on the earlier of (i) immediately prior to the closing of any Liquidation Event or (ii) upon the IPO, provided, that such IPO is at least three years following the Issue Date. The Company shall give Holder at least ten (10) days advance written notice of any Liquidation Event or IPO, or such shorter period of time as may be consented to in writing by Holder of the Warrant (the “Company Notice”). During such notice period, Holder may exercise or convert this Warrant in accordance with its terms, and may elect to make such exercise or conversion contingent upon the happening of such event. Subject to prior exercise or conversion as provided in the preceding sentences of this section, (i) in the case of a Liquidation Event, this Warrant will terminate immediately prior to the date such event is expected to occur as set forth in the Company Notice and (ii) in the case of the IPO, this Warrant will terminate upon the IPO.

 

2.ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES.

 

2.1            Share Splits, Etc. If the Company subdivides or combines the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock subsequent to the Issue Date, then upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, Holder shall receive, without cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the subdivision or combination occurred.

 

2.2            Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. Upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of the shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (other than a Liquidation Event described in Section 1.5 above or a share split, etc. described in Section 2.1 above) that occurs subsequent to the Issue Date, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for the Shares if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution or other event. The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a new Warrant for such new securities or other property. The new Warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 2 including, without limitation, appropriate adjustments to the Exercise Price and to the number of securities or property issuable upon exercise or conversion of the new Warrant.

 

 5 

 

 

2.3            Adjustments of Exercise Price. If, subsequent to the Issue Date, the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock of the Company, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased. If the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company are divided, by reclassification or otherwise, into a greater number of shares of Common Stock of the Company, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased.

 

2.4            Adjustment is Cumulative. The provisions of this Section 2 shall similarly apply to successive, stock splits or combinations, reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other events.

 

2.5            No Impairment. The Company shall not through a reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue, or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, intentionally avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed under this Warrant by the Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 2 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect Holder’s rights under this Section against such impairment.

 

2.6            Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional share interest arises upon any exercise or conversion of the Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional Share interest by paying Holder the amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by the fair market value of a full Share, provided, that in the event that such amount is less than $100, the Company shall not be required to make any such payment.

 

2.7            Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment, and furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request, furnish Holder a certificate setting forth the Exercise Price in effect upon the date thereof, and the number of Shares and the amount, if any, of other securities, cash or property receivable upon exercise or conversion hereof, and the series of adjustments leading to such Exercise Price and the number of Shares and the amount, if any, of other securities, cash or property receivable upon exercise or conversion hereof.

4.REPRESENTATIONS OF HOLDER; TRANSFER.

 

4.1            Representations. Holder hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows. Holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). Holder is a sophisticated investor having such knowledge and experience in business and investment matters that Holder is capable of protecting Holder’s own interests in connection with the acquisition, exercise or disposition of this Warrant. Holder is fully aware of: (i) the highly speculative nature of an investment in the Warrant (and the Shares issuable hereunder); (ii) the potential financial hazards involved; and (iii) the lack of liquidity of the Warrant (and the Shares issuable hereunder) and the restrictions on transferability of the Warrant (and the Shares issuable hereunder). Holder is aware that this Warrant and the Shares are being, or will be, issued to Holder in reliance upon Holder’s representation in this Section 4 and that such securities are restricted securities that cannot be publicly sold except in certain prescribed situations. Holder is acquiring the Warrant for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for the resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof for purposes of the 1933 Act in violation of securities laws. Holder has no present intention of selling or otherwise disposing of all or any portion of the Warrant or the Shares issuable hereunder. Holder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act and of the conditions under which sales may be made thereunder. Holder has received such information about the Company as Holder deems reasonable, has had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company with respect to its business, assets, prospects and financial condition and has verified any answers Holder has received from the Company with independent third parties to the extent Holder deems necessary. The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges this Warrant and the Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof or conversion thereof are being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, and for investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof or conversion thereof except under circumstances that will not result in a violation of the 1933 Act or any state securities laws. Neither the Company nor any of its managers, members, or officers have made any representations to Holder regarding the advisability of the transaction described herein.

 

4.2            Legends. The Shares, if certificated, shall be imprinted with legends in substantially the following form, as well as any other legends required by applicable state securities laws or by any agreement under which the Company is obligated:

 

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR QUALIFIED UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT AND QUALIFICATION UNDER SUCH LAWS, OR PURSUANT TO RULE 144 AND ANY STATE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION AND ITS COUNSEL THAT SUCH REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

 

 7 

 

 

4.3            Transfer Restrictions. This Warrant and the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may not be transferred or assigned in whole or in part without compliance with the restrictions contained herein and with applicable federal and state securities laws by the transferor and the transferee (including, without limitation, the delivery of investment representation letters and legal opinions reasonably satisfactory to the Company, as reasonably requested by the Company). The Company shall not require Holder to provide an opinion of counsel if (i) the transfer is to the stockholders, members or partners of Holder by way of distribution to all of the same or (ii) there is no material question as to the availability of current information as referenced in Rule 144(c), Holder represents that it has complied with Rule 144(d) and (e) in reasonable detail, the selling broker represents that it has complied with Rule 144(f), and the Company is provided with a copy of Holder’s notice of proposed sale and/or transfer. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Warrant is not transferable without the prior written consent of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that the Company’s election to withhold its consent to the transfer of this Warrant to any direct or indirect competitor of the Company shall not be deemed unreasonable, and provided, further, that the Holder shall be permitted to transfer this Warrant to any of its affiliates without the Company’s prior written consent by complying with the transfer procedures set forth in Section 4.4.

 

4.4            Transfer Procedure. Holder may not transfer all or part of this Warrant or the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant without the prior written consent of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and provided, further, that Holder shall be permitted to transfer this Warrant to any of its affiliates without the Company’s prior written consent by giving the Company a written notice of the portion of the Warrant being transferred, such notice setting forth the name, address and taxpayer identification number of the transferee, and surrendering this Warrant to the Company for reissuance to the transferee(s).

 

4.5            Stockholder Agreements. Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that any Shares issued hereunder will be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Company’s Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement, Amended and Restated Voting Agreement and Amended and Restated Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement that are applicable to “Investors” thereunder. By executing this Warrant, Holder hereby agrees to be bound by the terms of such agreements as contemplated in this Section 4.5.

 

5.            Market Standoff. Holder hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the Company’s IPO and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed one hundred eighty (l80) days), or such other period as may be requested by the Company or an underwriter to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (1) the publication or other distribution of research reports; and (2) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in FINRA Rule 2711(f)(4) or NYSE Rule 472(f)(4), or any successor provisions or amendments thereto), (a) lend, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any securities of the Company held immediately prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement for the IPO; or (b) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Company’s securities. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5 shall not apply to the sale of any securities to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement. The underwriters in connection with the IPO are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 5 and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. Holder further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters in the IPO that are consistent with this Section 5 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto.
