This Amendment to the Securities Purchase Agreement and Return Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of December 16, 2020, among other things, amends that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 28, 2020, by and between Prospector Capital Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), and Prospector Sponsor LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Transferor”) (as the same may be further amended, modified, supplemented or waived from time to time, the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Transferor acquired 10,050,000 Private Placement Warrants and 10,062,500 Class B Shares (the “Initial Securities”) from the Company;

 

WHEREAS, the Transferor desires to return to the Company, and the Company desires to have returned from the Transferor, 2,300,000 Private Placement Warrants and 2,875,000 Class B Shares (together, the “Returned Securities”);

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 8(i) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement may be amended by an instrument in writing and signed by the Company and the Transferor; and

 

WHEREAS, the Parties wish to amend the Securities Purchase Agreement on the terms set forth herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, which shall constitute a part of this Agreement, and the mutual promises contained in this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound thereby, the Company and the Transferor agree as follows:

 

Section 1. Return of Securities.

 

1.1

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) the Transferor hereby returns, assigns, transfers and delivers to the Company the Returned Securities and (ii) the Company hereby accepts the assignment, transfer and delivery of such Returned Securities from the Transferor.

 

1.2

The closing of the return of the Returned Securities shall take place on the date hereof simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Amendment by electronic delivery of documents (by pdf, email or other form of electronic communication). Each of the Transferor and the Company hereby agrees and acknowledges that effective immediately, the Transferor ceases to own any of the Returned Securities.

 

1.3

In full consideration for the return by the Transferor of the Returned Securities, on the date hereof, the Company shall repay $2,300,000 by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Transferor.

 

1.4

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, for all U.S. federal (and applicable state, local, and foreign) income tax purposes, (a) the return of the Returned Securities was integral to the terms of the Securities and (b) except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a "determination" (as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law) or a change in applicable law, (i) for valid business reasons, such return is intended to restore the Transferor’s position with respect to the ownership of the Private Placement Warrants and Class B Shares of the Company to the intended status as if the Initial Securities did not include the Returned Securities, and, accordingly, the purchase and sale of the Initial Securities, to the extent that such Initial Securities constitute the Returned Securities, shall be disregarded, (ii) the parties hereto shall treat such return as an adjustment to the number of, and the purchase price paid for, the Initial Securities under the Securities Purchase Agreement and not as a separate sale or exchange of the Returned Securities, and (iii) such return shall not constitute or give rise to any actual, constructive or deemed distribution under Section 311 or any other provision of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law). The parties hereto shall file all tax returns and otherwise report for tax purposes consistently with the preceding sentence except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a "determination" (as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law) or a change in applicable law.
