EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

On October 28, 2022, PropTech Investment Corporation II (the “PTIC II”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) for the Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held on November 18, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time, via a virtual meeting. PTIC II desires to file these definitive additional proxy materials on November 8, 2022, to clarify certain information in the Proxy Statement. No other information in the Proxy Statement has been revised, supplemented, updated or amended.

 

SUPPLEMENT TO THE PROXY STATEMENT

 

The following disclosures should be read in conjunction with the disclosures contained in the Proxy Statement, which should be read in its entirety. To the extent the information set forth herein differs from or updates information contained in the Proxy Statement, the information set forth herein shall supersede or supplement the information in the Proxy Statement. The terms used below, unless otherwise defined, have the meanings set forth in the Proxy Statement. Underlined text shows text being added to and strikethrough text shows text being removed from a referenced disclosure in the Proxy Statement.

 

The second bullet on page 135 of the Proxy Statement is amended and restated as follows:

 

gaining access to capital via the Business Combination, CEF Purchase Agreement or other sources sufficient (after payment of transaction fees and expenses and indebtedness and redemptions paid to existing PTIC II Stockholders from the Trust Account, with no specific assumption regarding the amount of such redemptions) to fund growth, including investment in customer acquisition of $14.3 million in fiscal year 2023 to achieve the projected Marketplace transactions, properties under management, and revenue. The Prospective Financial Information assumes the availability of such funds through a combination of non-redeeming PTIC II Class A Stockholders, the CEF Purchase Agreement or other sources of capital at the Closing or shortly thereafter, though the Prospective Financial Information does not assume that growth is funded through any single source. For instance, if PTIC II Class A Stockholders elect to redeem a significant number of shares of PTIC II Class A Common Stock (including at levels of redemptions experienced by other special purpose acquisition companies prior to and since the entry into the Business Combination Agreement), the amount of cash available to the Combined Company on a post-Closing basis from the PTIC II Trust Account would be materially diminished; however, even if this were to occur, the company anticipates that there would be other sources of capital available, including from the CEF Purchase Agreement or other sources (including cash flow generated from operations) to fund its growth during the period covered by the Prospective Financial Information. If a combination of such sources are not available in amounts sufficient to fund the company’s growth plans due to high redemption rates or other factors, the company’s financial performance would be materially different than set forth in the Prospective Financial Information;

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements in these definitive additional proxy materials 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 necessary 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, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2022, and June 30, 2022, the Proxy Statement relating to the Business Combination filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 28, 2022, and in any subsequent filings with the SEC. 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 these definitive additional proxy materials 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 these definitive additional proxy materials or any projections or forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
