Item 1.01 Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.

Business Combination Agreement

On March 22, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), JAWS Spitfire Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“JAWS”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among JAWS, Spitfire Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), and Velo3D, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

The Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were unanimously approved by the board of directors of JAWS and the board of directors of the Company.

The Business Combination

The Business Combination Agreement provides for, among other things, the consummation of the following transactions on the closing date: (i) JAWS will become a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”) and, in connection with the Domestication, (A) JAWS’s name will be changed to “Velo3D, Inc.”, (B) each outstanding Class A ordinary share of JAWS and each outstanding Class B ordinary share of JAWS will become one share of common stock of JAWS (the “JAWS Common Stock”), and (C) each outstanding warrant of JAWS will become one warrant to purchase one share of JAWS Common Stock; and (ii) following the Domestication, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving company in the merger and, after giving effect to such merger, continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of JAWS (the “Merger”).

The Domestication, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the “Business Combination”.

Business Combination Consideration

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, (i) outstanding shares and options of the Company will be exchanged for shares of JAWS Common Stock or comparable options that are exercisable for shares of JAWS Common Stock, as applicable, based on an implied Company equity value of $1,500,000,000, (ii) outstanding warrants of the Company not terminated pursuant to their terms will be exchanged for comparable warrants that are exercisable for shares of JAWS Common Stock based on the number of shares of JAWS Common Stock such holder would have received if it had exercised such warrant immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger and (iii) outstanding convertible notes of the Company will remain outstanding and become convertible into shares of JAWS Common Stock in accordance with their terms.

In addition, pre-closing equityholders of the Company will be entitled to an earnout, pursuant to which they will receive (i) 5.0% of the total number of shares of JAWS Common Stock outstanding at the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”) if the shares of JAWS Common Stock trade at or above $12.50 for twenty or more trading days in any thirty trading day period, and (ii) an additional 5.0% of the total number of shares of JAWS Common Stock outstanding at the Closing if the shares of JAWS Common Stock trade at or above $15.00 for twenty or more trading days in any thirty trading day period. The earnout is subject to a five-year sunset and early trigger upon certain change of control events.

Registration Rights

At the Closing, JAWS will enter into an amended and restated registration rights agreement with Spitfire Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), certain key stockholders of the Company and certain other parties relating to, among other things, certain customary registration rights and lockup restrictions.

Representations and Warranties; Covenants

Under the Business Combination Agreement, the parties to the agreement made customary representations and warranties for transactions of this type regarding themselves. The representations and warranties made under the Business Combination Agreement generally will not survive the Closing. In addition, the parties to the Business Combination Agreement agreed to be bound by certain covenants as specified in the Business Combination Agreement. The covenants made under the Business Combination generally will not survive the Closing, subject to certain exceptions, including certain covenants and agreements that by their terms are to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing.

Conditions to Each Party’s Obligations

The consummation of the Business Combination is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions of the respective parties, including: (a) the approval and adoption by JAWS’s shareholders of the Business Combination Agreement and transactions contemplated thereby; (b) the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended; (c) since the Effective Date, no Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) shall have occurred that is continuing; and (d) cash proceeds from JAWS’s trust account established for the purpose of holding the net proceeds from JAWS’s initial public offering, net of any amounts paid to JAWS’s shareholders that exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination and net of unpaid transaction expenses, plus the aggregate proceeds of the PIPE Financing (defined below), equaling no less than $350,000,000 at the Closing.

Termination

The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances at any time prior to the Closing, including by written notice from JAWS or the Company to the other party or parties, if the Closing has not occurred by October 22, 2021, provided that such right to terminate is not available to JAWS or the Company if such party exercising the right is in material breach of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements under the Business Combination Agreement (including, with respect to Company, any breach by the Company). If the Business Combination Agreement is validly terminated, none of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement will have any liability or any further obligation under the Business Combination Agreement other than customary confidentiality obligations, except in the case of Willful Breach or Fraud (each, as defined in the Business Combination Agreement).
