Item 1.01 Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 7, 2021, VPC Impact Acquisition Holdings III, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Parent, Bear Merger Company I Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“First Merger Sub”), Bear Merger Company II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Second Merger Sub” and together with First Merger Sub, the “Merger Subs”), and Dave Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to which, among other things: (a) First Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “First Merger”), with the Company being the surviving corporation of the First Merger (such company, in its capacity as the surviving corporation of the First Merger, the “Surviving Corporation”); and (b) immediately following the First Merger and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, the Surviving Corporation will merge with and into Second Merger Sub (the “Second Merger” and together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with Second Merger Sub being the surviving company of the Second Merger. The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Transactions”), including the Mergers, will constitute a “Business Combination” as contemplated by Parent’s existing amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Current Parent Charter”).

The Merger Agreement and the Transactions were unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of Parent (the “Board”) on June 1, 2021.

Recapitalization

Prior to the closing of the Mergers (the “Closing”), the Company will cause (collectively, the “Recapitalization”): (a) each share of the Company’s preferred stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger (the “Effective Time”) to automatically convert into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Company Common Stock”), at their respective conversion ratio; (b) a dual-class Company common stock structure to be implemented consisting of (x) Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Company Class A Common Stock”), with respect to which each holder thereof has one (1) vote per share on each matter subject to the vote of the Company Stockholders, and (y) Class V common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Company Class V Common Stock” and together with the Company Class A Common Stock (including any vested shares of restricted Company Common stock), the “Company Stock”), with respect to which each holder thereof has ten (10) votes per share on each matter subject to the vote of the Company Stockholders; (c) each authorized share of the Company Common Stock to automatically convert, effective as of the Recapitalization, into a share of Company Class A Common Stock; and (d) immediately thereafter, each share of Company Class A Common Stock held by Jason Wilk, the Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of the Company (“Mr. Wilk”), as of immediately prior to the consummation of the Recapitalization to be exchanged or converted into one (1) share of Company Class V Common Stock.

The Merger Agreement

Merger Consideration

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the stockholders of the Company, including holders of restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock (“Company Restricted Stock”) (such holders, collectively, the “Company Stockholders”) and holders of vested Company Options (as defined below), will receive aggregate merger consideration with an implied value of $3,500,000,000 (the “Equity Value”), consisting of a number of shares of Parent Common Stock (as defined and more fully described below), with each deemed to have a value of $10.00 per share, equal to the Equity Value divided by $10.00 (the “Aggregate Stock Consideration”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, (a) each share of Company Class A Common Stock held by the Company Stockholders will be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive a number of shares of newly issued Class A common stock of Parent, par value $0.0001 (“Parent Class A Common Stock”), equal to an exchange ratio (the “Per Share Company Stock Consideration”) determined by dividing the Aggregate Stock Consideration by the sum of (without duplication): (i) the aggregate number of shares of Company Stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and following the consummation of the Recapitalization (including all shares of Company Restricted Stock, whether vested or

unvested); (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Company Stock that are issuable upon the exercise or settlement of all Company Options and Company Non-Plan Options (in each case, as defined below) that are unexpired, issued, outstanding and vested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (assuming, for purposes of this calculation, that all such Company Options and Company Non-Plan Options are exercised on a net exercise basis based on the assumption, solely for purposes of this calculation, that the fair market value of each share underlying such Company Options or Company Non-Plan Options equals (x) the Per Share Company Stock Consideration multiplied by (y) ten dollars ($10.00)); and (iii) the aggregate number of shares of Company Stock that are issuable upon the exercise or settlement of all Company Warrants that are unexpired, issued, outstanding and vested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (assuming, for purposes of this calculation, that all such Company Warrants are vested and exercised on a net exercise basis based on the assumption, solely for purposes of this calculation, that the fair market value of each share underlying such Company Warrants equals the (x) Per Share Company Stock Consideration multiplied by (y) ten dollars ($10.00)) (the “Company Stock Adjusted Fully Diluted Shares”) and (b) each share of Company Class V Common Stock held by the Company Stockholders will be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive a number of shares of newly authorized and issued Class V common stock of Parent, par value $0.0001 (“Parent Class V Common Stock” and together with the Parent Class A Common Stock, “Parent Common Stock”), equal to the Per Share Company Stock Consideration.

Each option to purchase shares of capital stock of the Company (“Company Option”) that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether vested or unvested) (other than certain options to purchase shares of capital stock of the Company granted outside of the terms and conditions of the Company’s stock plans (“Company Non-Plan Options”)) will be automatically assumed by Parent and converted into an option to acquire an adjusted number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock (pursuant to a ratio based on the Per Share Company Stock Consideration) (each such resulting option, a “Rollover Option”) at an adjusted exercise price per share and will continue to be governed by substantially the same terms and conditions (including vesting and exercisability terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Company Option, except to the extent such terms or conditions are rendered inoperative by the Transactions or such other immaterial administrative or ministerial changes as the parties to the Merger Agreement may determine are appropriate to effectuate the administration of the Rollover Options. The shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Company Options that are outstanding, unexercised and unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time (such options, the “Unvested Company Options”) are not included in the calculation of the “Company Stock Adjusted Fully Diluted Shares” for purposes of the calculation of the Per Share Company Stock Consideration, and the shares of Parent Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Rollover Options representing at the Effective Time Unvested Company Options (such shares, “Unvested Rollover Option Shares”) are not considered a part of the Aggregate Stock Consideration. The Unvested Rollover Option Shares will reduce the shares of Parent Class A Common Stock initially available for issuance under the new equity incentive plan that Parent will adopt as of the Closing.

Each Company Non-Plan Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically cancelled for no consideration.

Each award of the Company Restricted Stock that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically assumed by Parent and converted into an award of restricted stock with respect to an adjusted number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock (pursuant to a ratio based on the Per Share Company Stock Consideration) (the “Rollover Restricted Stock”) and will continue to be governed by substantially the same terms and conditions (including vesting terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Company Restricted Stock, except to the extent such terms or conditions are rendered inoperative by the Transactions or such other immaterial administrative or ministerial changes as the parties to the Merger Agreement may determine are appropriate to effectuate the administration of the Rollover Restricted Stock.

Each warrant to purchase shares of capital stock of the Company (“Company Warrants”) that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically terminated in accordance with the terms of the applicable Company Warrant and be of no further force or effect as of the Effective Time.

High Vote Shares

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, immediately prior to the Closing, the Current Parent Charter will be further amended and restated (the “Parent A&R Charter”) to, among other things, (a) establish a dual-class Parent Common Stock structure consisting of Parent Class A Common Stock and Parent Class V Common Stock, and (b) provide that each share of Parent Class A Common Stock will be entitled to one (1) vote per share and each share of Parent Class V Common Stock will be entitled to ten (10) votes per share (the “High Vote”). In connection with the Transactions, the shares of Parent Common Stock received as consideration by Mr. Wilk will be shares of Parent Class V Common Stock, and will entitle Mr. Wilk to the High Vote until such time as such shares of Parent Class V Common Stock are exchanged pursuant to the terms of the Parent A&R Charter for an equal number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock (i) at the option of Mr. Wilk, (ii) upon a transfer to an unaffiliated third party, (iii) upon termination of Mr. Wilk’s employment with Parent, the Company or any of their subsidiaries for “Cause” (as defined in the Parent A&R Charter) or the resignation by Mr. Wilk other than for “Good Reason” (as defined in the Parent A&R Charter) and following such resignation Mr. Wilk no longer provides services in a capacity as an officer, employee or director of Parent, (iv) upon Mr. Wilk’s death or incapacity or (v) the date that the number of shares of capital stock of Parent, including any shares of capital stock of Parent underlying any securities (including restricted stock units, options, or other convertible instruments) convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable into shares of capital stock of Parent, held by Mr. Wilk and certain permitted transferees is less than 35% of the number of shares of Class V Common Stock held by Mr. Wilk and such permitted transferees at the Effective Time (whichever is earlier). Mr. Wilk’s shares of Parent Class V Common Stock will provide him with approximately 70% of the voting power of the Parent Common Stock outstanding immediately following the Effective Time (and prior to any repurchases of shares of Parent Class V Common Stock by Parent pursuant to the Repurchase (as defined and further discussed below)), assuming no redemptions by Parent’s Stockholders.

The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement, the Subscription Agreements, the Support Agreements, the Founder Holder Agreement, the Investor Rights Agreement, the Repurchase Agreement, the Parent A&R Charter and the Parent A&R Bylaws (collectively, the “Transaction Agreements”), and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Mergers, do not purport to be complete and are subject to and qualified in their entirety by reference to the Transaction Agreements, copies of which are filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the terms of which are incorporated by reference herein. The Transaction Agreements and the documents related thereto contain representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of such agreements or other specific dates.
