Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

As previously announced, on May 3, 2021, Valor Latitude Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with BofA Securities, Inc. and Barclays Capital Inc. (the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell 20,000,000 units (the “Units”), with each Unit consisting of one Class A ordinary share, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), and one-third of one redeemable warrant (“Warrant”), each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, to the Underwriters in its initial public offering (“IPO”). On May 6, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company also granted the Underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the Underwriting Agreement to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any (the “Over-allotment Option”). On May 7, 2021, the Underwriters fully exercised the Over-allotment Option to purchase as additional 3,000,000 units (the “Option Units”). Each Option Unit consists of one Class A Ordinary Share and one-third of one Warrant. On May 11, 2021, the Company completed the sale of the Option Units to Underwriters for net proceeds of approximately $29,400,000 in the aggregate after deducting the underwriter discount (the “Option Unit Proceeds”).

 

Simultaneously with the issuance and sale of the Option Units, the Company consummated the private placement with Valor Latitude LLC (the “Sponsor”) and Phoenix SPAC Holdco (“Phoenix”) of an aggregate of 400,000 warrants to purchase Class A Ordinary Shares for $1.50 per warrant in a private placement with each whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Additional Private Placement Warrants”), generating total proceeds of $600,000 (the “Private Placement Proceeds” and, together with the Option Unit Proceeds, the “Proceeds”). The Additional Private Placement Warrants are identical to the warrants sold as part of the Units in the IPO except that, so long as they are held by the Sponsor, Phoenix or their respective permitted transferees: (1) they will not be redeemable by the Company; (2) they (including the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders until 30 days after the completion of the initial business combination; (3) they may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis; and (4) they (including the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants) are entitled to registration rights. The Additional Private Placement Warrants have been issued pursuant to that certain Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreement, dated May 3, 2021, between the Company and the Sponsor, that certain Subscription Agreement, dated March 26, 2021, between the Company and Phoenix, and the Additional Private Placement Warrants are governed by that certain Warrant Agreement, dated May 3, 2021, between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent.

 

The Proceeds were placed in a U.S.-based trust account at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds in the trust account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes, the funds held in the trust account will not be released from the trust account until the earliest of (i) the completion of the Company’s initial business combination, (ii) the redemption of all of the Company’s public shares if it is unable to complete its business combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO, subject to applicable law, or (iii) the redemption of the Company’s public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company's obligation to redeem 100% of its public shares if it does not complete an initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders' rights or pre-initial business combination activity.

 

An audited balance sheet as of May 6, 2021 reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the IPO and the Private Placement on May 6, 2021, but not the proceeds from the sale of the Option Units or the Additional Private Placement Warrants on May 11, 2021, has been issued by the Company and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
