Subject to the consummation of the Transactions, each Parent Support Party waives (for itself and for its successors, heirs and assigns), to the fullest extent permitted by law and the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Parent (as may be amended from time to time, the “Articles”), all anti-dilution rights that would otherwise result in Parent Class B Ordinary Shares held by such Parent Support Party converting into Holdco Common Shares on a greater than one-for-one basis in connection with the Transactions. The waiver specified in this Section 1.9 shall be applicable only in connection with the Transactions and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any Holdco Common Shares or equity-linked securities issued in connection with the Transactions and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 1.10 Sponsor Surrendered Securities.

(a) to the extent the aggregate amount of any Additional Financing (which may be debt or equity financing) plus any funds from Trust Account available for distribution to the Holdco or the Company at Closing (the “Additional Funds”) equals or exceeds $50,000,000 (the “Target Amount”) before taking into account financing fees and transaction expenses, none of the At Risk Sponsor Shares shall be forfeited;

 

(b) to the extent the Additional Funds are less than the Target Amount, the Sponsor shall forfeit such number of the At Risk Sponsor Shares as shall be equal to the product of 1,880,000 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Target Amount less the actual amount of Additional Funds and the denominator of which shall be the Target Amount. For illustration only, if the Additional Funds are equal to $20,000,000, the Sponsor shall forfeit 1,128,000 At Risk Sponsor Shares, calculated by multiplying 1,880,000 shares times (($50,000,000 minus $20,000,000) divided by $50,000,0000); and

 

(c) notwithstanding the foregoing subparts (a) and (b), to the extent the Sponsor shall not forfeit any of the At Risk Sponsor Shares as specified above, Sponsor shall not Transfer any shares of Holdco Common Stock received by Sponsor in exchange for such retained At Risk Sponsor Shares pursuant to the LCW Merger (the “At Risk Holdco Shares”) until the VWAP of the shares of Holdco Common Stock shall have exceeded $11.50 per share for at least twenty days in any immediately preceding thirty day period (the “VWAP Completion Event”); provided, that if the VWAP Completion Event has not occurred prior to the date that is seven (7) years following the Closing, all of such At Risk Holdco Shares shall automatically be deemed to be forfeited and Holdco shall, and shall cause its transfer agent to, cancel such shares on the books and records of Holdco.

(i)         There is a Change of Control; or

 

(ii)        The occurrence of the VWAP Completion Event.

 

(d)          For the avoidance of doubt, the achievement of Milestone One, Milestone Two and Milestone Three, respectively, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, shall be deemed an achievement of such Milestones for purposes of this Section 1.11.
