There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up. In the event of a liquidation, holders of our founder shares, including our Sponsor, will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of their ownership of the founder shares.
If the Extension Amendment Proposal is Approved
Upon approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal by the requisite number of votes, the amendments to our Articles that are set forth in Annex A hereto will become effective. We will remain a reporting company under the Exchange Act, and our units, public shares and warrants will remain publicly traded.
If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved and the Extension is implemented, the removal of the Withdrawal Amount from the Trust Account in connection with the Election will reduce the amount held in the Trust Account following the Election. We cannot predict the amount that will remain in the Trust Account if the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved and the amount remaining in the Trust Account may be only a small fraction of the approximately $254,115,791 that was in the Trust Account as of September 30, 2020. In such event, we may need to obtain additional funds to complete the WM business combination, including in order to satisfy a condition under the Merger Agreement to WMH’s obligations to consummate the WM business combination that Silver Spike’s Available Cash (as defined in the Merger Agreement) is greater than or equal to $300,000,000, and there can be no assurance that such funds will be available on terms acceptable or at all.
If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved but we do not consummate a business combination by the Extended Date, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses, and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board, liquidate and dissolve, subject to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law.
We cannot assure you that the per share distribution from the Trust Account, if we liquidate, will not be less than $10.00 due to unforeseen claims of creditors. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up. In the event of a liquidation, our Sponsor, the sole holder of our founder shares, will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of its ownership of the founder shares.
Redemption Rights
If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved and the Extension is implemented, each of our public shareholders may submit an election that, if the Extension is implemented, such public shareholder elects to redeem all or a portion of his public shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned (net of taxes payable, if any), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. You will also be able to redeem your public shares in connection with any business combination, or if we have not consummated a business combination by the Extended Date.
