ITEM 3. | SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION |
The securities reported herein were received as consideration in connection with a Business Combination (as defined below).
Merger Transaction
One June 16, 2022, the Issuer consummated the Business Combination (the Closing), pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement), dated as of December 7, 2021, as amended and restated on March 31, 2022, by and among VGAC II, Treehouse Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned direct subsidiary of VGAC II (Merger Sub I), Treehouse Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned direct subsidiary of VGAC II (Merger Sub II) and Grove Collaborative, Inc., a Delaware public benefit corporation (Grove). The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are collectively referred to herein as the Business Combination.
On June 15, 2022, as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, VGAC II filed a notice of deregistration with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, together with the necessary accompanying documents, and filed a certificate of incorporation and a certificate of corporate domestication with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, under which VGAC II was domesticated and continued as a Delaware public benefit corporation, changing its name to Grove Collaborative Holdings, Inc. As a result of and upon the effective time of the Domestication, among other things, (i) each of the then issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of VGAC II, and Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of VGAC II, automatically converted, on a one-for-one basis, into shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New Grove (the Class A Common Stock).
Under the Merger Agreement, among other things, (i) each share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Grove (Grove Common Stock) and preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Grove (Grove Preferred Stock) (on an as-converted to common stock basis) (other than dissenting shares) was canceled and converted into the right to receive (a) a number of shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New Grove (the Class B Common Stock), as determined pursuant to an exchange ratio set forth in the Merger Agreement (the Exchange Ratio) and (b) a number of restricted shares of New Grove Class B Common Stock that will vest upon the achievement of certain earnout thresholds prior to the tenth anniversary of Closing (the Grove Earnout Shares).
The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement and the Amendment thereto, included with this Statement as Exhibits 1 and 2 and incorporated herein by reference.
PIPE Financing
In connection with the Merger Agreement, on December 7, 2021, VGAC II entered into subscription agreements (collectively, the Subscription Agreements), with certain investors including the Reporting Persons (collectively, the PIPE Investors) pursuant to which, and on the terms and subject to the conditions of which, the PIPE Investors collectively subscribed for 8,707,500 shares of New Grove Class A Common Stock at a price of $10.00 per share for aggregate proceeds of $87,075,000 (the PIPE Financing). The PIPE Financing was consummated substantially concurrently with the Closing.
ITEM 4. | PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION |
