SEC Form 8-K Summary
Registrant: Fifth Wall Acquisition Corp. III (FWAC), in connection with its proposed business combination with Mobile Infrastructure Corporation (MIC).
Reporting date: June 15, 2023; filed June 16, 2023. The filing concerns transaction financing and amendments to the proposed merger rather than operating-period financial results.
Business Context and Transaction
FWAC is pursuing a domestication from the Cayman Islands to Maryland and a two-step merger with MIC. Following the transaction, FWAC is expected to become the surviving public company and MIC is expected to become its operating business, subject to required approvals and closing conditions.
Key Financial and Capitalization Matters
- FWAC entered into new PIPE subscription agreements for 46,000 shares of Series 2 Convertible Preferred Stock at $1,000 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $46.0 million, subject to closing conditions.
- The Series 2 Preferred Stock will accrue cumulative dividends at 10.0% annually, paid in kind, subject to the terms described in the proposed charter.
- Each preferred share is generally convertible at $3.67 per Surviving Pubco common share, subject to adjustments. Conversion is expected after the applicable Nasdaq, NYSE or NYSE American listing period, but not before December 31, 2023, or upon a change of control.
- The preferred stock ranks senior to Surviving Pubco common stock and specified existing preferred stock in dividends and liquidation rights. It generally has no voting rights and is not automatically redeemable by the company or holders.
- The filing does not provide operating revenue, net income, cash flow, margins, debt balances or liquidity balances for FWAC or MIC.
Material Changes Versus Prior Disclosures
- The Second Amended and Restated Sponsor Agreement requires cancellation of 4,775,000 Founder Shares for no consideration.
- One million Founder Shares will vest if the Surviving Pubco share price reaches a volume-weighted average price of $13.00 for any five-consecutive-trading-day period, subject to cancellation if not vested by December 31, 2026.
- A separate one million Founder Shares tranche will vest at a $16.00 five-day volume-weighted average price threshold, subject to cancellation if not vested by December 31, 2028.
- The two performance-based Founder Share tranches may vest earlier following certain liquidation, merger, reorganization or similar transactions.
- The prior $10.0 million Initial PIPE Subscription Agreement with entities controlled by a MIC director was terminated by mutual consent and is no longer effective.
- New PIPE investors will generally receive registration rights and a one-year lock-up on the preferred shares and common shares issued upon conversion.
Outlook, Risks and Unusual Items
No financial guidance or operating forecast is provided. Completion of the proposed merger and financing remains subject to conditions including regulatory and securityholder approvals, listing requirements, financing completion and potential shareholder redemptions.
Key disclosed risks include failure or delay in completing the transaction, failure to realize anticipated benefits, MIC’s ability to execute its investment and acquisition strategy, competition, growth and cost management, economic conditions, transaction expenses, legal proceedings, changes in law, and the ability to obtain additional equity or equity-linked financing.
The preferred securities are being offered without registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation D. The securities have senior liquidation rights, accrued paid-in-kind dividends, conversion features and transfer restrictions that may create dilution and increase the capital claims senior to common stock.
