The Subscription Agreements contain substantially the same terms, except that the Foreign Subscription Agreement the investors thereto agreed to subscribe for TopCo Ordinary Shares at a price that is net of a 3.5% placement fee with the expectation that such investors will assign their rights to purchase the TopCo Ordinary Shares to other investors prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, however, there is no guarantee or obligation that such investors will assign such TopCo Ordinary Shares.
The closing of the PIPE Financing is subject to customary conditions for a financing of this nature, including the substantially concurrent consummation of the Business Combination. The Subscription Agreements provide that TopCo will grant the investors in the PIPE Financing certain customary registration rights with respect to their TopCo Ordinary Shares following the closing of the Business Combination.
