Note 16 — Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated its financial statements for subsequent events through May 12, 2021, the date the financial statements were issued. The Company is aware of the following subsequent events as discussed below:
On January 26, 2021, all prior outstanding shares of Series Seed Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series
C-1
Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock, Series
D-1
Preferred Stock and Series
D-2
Preferred Stock (the “Prior Preferred Stock”) were converted into common stock via a restated certificate of incorporation, which also authorized 191,560,656 shares of Preferred Stock of the Company and designated 37,500,000 shares as senior preferred stock (“Senior Preferred Stock”).
On the same date (and in continuing closings through April 20, 2021), the Company entered into a purchase agreement with certain investors (“Senior Preferred Stock Investors”) to allow such investors to purchase Senior Preferred Stock at $10.00 per share. In conjunction with the purchase, Senior Preferred Stock investors who purchased more than their assigned pro rata portion of existing investment in the Company (“Pro Rata Portion”) would be issued warrants (“Warrants”) exercisable for a number of Senior Preferred Stock purchased in excess of the Pro Rata Portion, scaling up from 0 to 100% on the delta between
pro-rata
and super
pro-rata
participation . To the extent those Senior Preferred Stock Investors purchased at least their Pro Rata Portion and also held Prior Preferred Stock, the Company entered into an exchange agreement (“Exchange Agreement”) that would allow such existing holders of Prior Preferred Stock to exchange the common shares received in conversion of Prior Preferred Stock back into an equal number of Preferred Stock in a mirroring class with the same rights (including liquidation preference) as the Preferred Stock such investors held prior to conversion (such exchange preferred stock, “Preferred Stock Prime”). Existing holders of Prior Preferred Stock who failed to purchase at least their Pro Rata Portion of Senior Preferred Stock did not exchange their shares for Preferred Stock Prime, and such former preferred shares remained converted to common. We believe the recapitalization of the Company would be considered a related party transaction.
On April 27, 2021, the Company’s wholly consolidated special purpose vehicle entity (“SPV”) entered into a credit facility with Apollo Investment Corporation and MidCap Financial Trust (each managed or advised by
Apollo Capital Management, L.P., or its affiliates) (“Apollo”) to allow the Company to borrow up to $40.0 million term of loans at LIBOR + 900 bps, subject to a 1.00% LIBOR floor. The borrowings under the credit facility will be secured by vehicles contributed by the Company into the SPV . The revenues generated by the vehicles in the SPV will be used to repay the corresponding loan collateralized by such vehicles. Vehicles in the SPV may be transferred out of the SPV upon repayment of the loan.
On April 27, 2021, the Company repaid the outstanding principal balance on the Term Loans of $31.2 million, including accrued and unpaid interest. The Company recognized a loss of $2.3 million upon extinguishment due to the
write-off
of the debt discount.
On May 11, 2021, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement with Switchback II Corporation (“Switchback”), a Special Purpose Acquisition Company. The contemplated merger with Switchback would provide all holders of common and preferred stockholder to receive common stock of the continuing public company, which will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Bird Holdings. The proposed transaction is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2021, subject to, among other things, the approval by Switchback’s shareholders, satisfaction of the conditions stated in the merger agreement and other customary closing conditions. There is no assurance that the transaction will be ultimately be completed.
