Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Business Combination Agreement

 

As previously disclosed, on May 17, 2022, PropTech Investment Corporation II, a Delaware corporation (“PTIC II”), entered into a business combination agreement (as amended by the first amendment, dated as of May 27, 2022, and second amendment, dated as of July 14, 2022, and as the same may be further amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”) with RW National Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Renters Warehouse”), and Lake Street Landlords, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, in its capacity as the representative of the certain Renters Warehouse unitholders (in such capacity, the “Sellers’ Representative”) pursuant to which Renters Warehouse and PTIC II proposed to enter into a business combination (the “Business Combination”).

 

On September 7, 2022, PTIC II, Renters Warehouse and the Sellers’ Representative entered into the third amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the Business Combination Agreement to, among other things, (i) categorize certain amounts that were and may be borrowed and outstanding pursuant to the Note (as defined below) as transaction expenses due and payable by PTIC II at the closing of the Business Combination on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement and (ii) provide for offsetting between such amounts borrowed and outstanding under the Note (as defined below) and certain other expenses of PTIC II.

 

Promissory Note

 

On September 8, 2022, PTIC II and HC PropTech Partners II LLC (the “Sponsor”), with the consent of Renters Warehouse, entered into that certain Promissory Note (the “Note”) pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan PTIC II up to $250,000, in the aggregate, to provide PTIC II with capital to fund certain ongoing working capital expenses of PTIC II and expenses related to the Business Combination. The Note is non-interest bearing and, at the time of consummation of the Business Combination, any amounts borrowed and outstanding under the Promissory Note will become due and payable in immediately available funds; provided that the Sponsor may elect to extend the repayment date for up to 90 days from the closing of the Business Combination, in its sole discretion. The amounts, if any, borrowed and outstanding under the Note at the time of consummation of the Business Combination will be a transaction expense due and payable by PTIC II. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the Note will not be repaid and any amounts owed under the Note will be forgiven except to the extent that PTIC II has funds available outside of its trust account to repay such amounts.

 

The foregoing description of each of the Third Amendment and the Note is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Third Amendment and the Note, copies of which are filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, and the terms of which are incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

 

The disclosure contained in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference in this Item 2.03.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K may be considered forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or PTIC II’s or Renters Warehouse’s future financial or operating performance, and other “forward-looking statements” (as such term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995), which include statements relating to the Business Combination. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “predict,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “future,” “outlook,” or the negatives of these terms or similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the inability of the parties to successfully or timely complete the Business Combination. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by PTIC II and its management, and/or Renters Warehouse and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against PTIC II, Renters Warehouse, the combined company following the Business Combination or others following the announcement of the transactions related to the Business Combination including the Business Combination Agreement; (3) the inability to complete the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement due to the failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of PTIC II, to obtain financing to complete the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, or to satisfy other conditions to closing; (4) the failure of any condition precedent to the committed equity facility in connection with the common stock purchase agreement by and between PTIC II and CF Principal Investments LLC, which could cause the termination of such facility; (5) changes to the proposed structure of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations or as a condition to obtaining regulatory approval of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement; (6) the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards at or following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement; (7) the risk that the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement disrupt current plans and operations of Renters Warehouse or PTIC II as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby; (8) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees; (9) costs related to the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement; (10) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (11) the possibility that Renters Warehouse or the combined company following the Business Combination may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (12) Renters Warehouse’s estimates of expenses and profitability; (13) the failure to realize anticipated pro forma results or projections and underlying assumptions, including with respect to estimated stockholder redemptions, purchase price, and other adjustments;(14) debt defaults, and the need for or failure to obtain additional capital; and (15) other risks and uncertainties set forth in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in PTIC II’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2022, and June 30, 2022, in the preliminary proxy statement relating to the Business Combination, and in subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including the definitive proxy statement relating to the Business Combination. There may be additional risks that neither PTIC II nor Renters Warehouse presently know or that PTIC II and Renters Warehouse currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements.

 

Nothing in this Current Report on Form 8-K should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Neither PTIC II nor Renters Warehouse undertakes any duty, and each of PTIC II and Renters Warehouse expressly disclaims any obligation, to update or alter this Current Report on Form 8-K or any projections or forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

Additional Information About the Proposed Business Combination and Where to Find It

 

In connection with the Business Combination, on July 14, 2022, PTIC II has filed with the SEC a preliminary proxy statement (as amended from time to time, the “preliminary proxy statement”) relating to the Business Combination. When available, PTIC II will mail a definitive proxy statement and other relevant documents to its stockholders as of a record date to be established for voting on the Business Combination. This Current Report on Form 8-K does not contain all the information that should be considered concerning the Business Combination and is not intended to form the basis of any investment decision or any other decision in respect of transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. PTIC II’s stockholders and other interested persons are advised to read the preliminary proxy statement and, when available, the amendments thereto and the definitive proxy statement and other documents filed in connection with the Business Combination, as these materials will contain important information about PTIC II, Renters Warehouse and the Business Combination.

Pines Way, Suite 204, Wilson, Wyoming 83014.

 

Before making any voting or investment decision, investors and security holders of PTIC II are urged to carefully read the entire preliminary proxy statement and, when available, the amendments thereto and the definitive proxy statement and other documents filed in connection with the Business Combination with the SEC, because they will contain important information about the proposed transaction.
