RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO REJECT THE UNSOLICITED

MACKENZIE MINI-TENDER OFFER

 

If you are considering selling your shares of common stock or preferred stock of Mobile Infrastructure Corporation to affiliates of MacKenzie Capital Management, LP, please read this first.

 

May 1, 2023

 

Dear Stockholder:

 

On May 1, 2023, affiliates of MacKenzie Capital Management, LP (the “Bidder”) commenced an unsolicited tender offer to purchase up to 207,000 shares (the “Common Shares”) of the outstanding common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Mobile Infrastructure Corporation (the “Company” or “MIC”), at a price of $7.25 per Common Share in cash (without interest) (the “Common Stock Offer Price”) and up to 1,070 shares (the “Preferred Shares” and, together with the Common Shares, the “Shares”) of Series 1 Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series 1 Preferred Stock”), or Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock” and, together with the Series 1 Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”), at a price of $700 per Preferred Share in cash (without interest) (the “Preferred Stock Offer Price”).

 

We, the members of the Board of Directors of the Company, believe that each of the Common Stock Offer Price and the Preferred Stock Offer Price is substantially below the value of the Common Shares and Preferred Shares, respectively, and does not properly take into account the likelihood of a liquidity event in the near term for holders of Common Shares and therefore strongly recommend that stockholders DO NOT tender any of their Shares in the tender offer.

 

In arriving at our recommendation against tendering your Shares to the Bidder, we considered the following:

 

1.                We believe that the Common Stock Offer Price is significantly less than the current and potential value of the Common Shares. The most recently determined net asset value of the shares of Common Stock as approved by the Board of Directors on August 29, 2022 was $14.76 per share. Likewise, we believe that the Preferred Stock Offer Price is significantly discounted to the stated value of the Preferred Stock, which is $1,000 per share (plus amounts payable for accrued and unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock).

 

2.                Given the Common Stock Offer Price and the Preferred Stock Offer Price, we believe that the tender offer represents an opportunistic attempt by the Bidder to make a profit by purchasing the Shares at an unreasonably low price relative to their current estimated value, thereby depriving tendering stockholders of the potential opportunity to realize the full long-term value of their investment in the Company. This belief is supported by the Bidder’s own characterization of the tender offer. Specifically, the Board of Directors refers to the following statement of the Bidder: “The [Bidder is] making the Offer for investment purposes and with the intention of making a profit from the ownership of the Shares. In establishing the purchase price of $7.25 per Common Share and $700 per Series A [Preferred Stock] or [Series] 1 Preferred Share, the [Bidder is] motivated to establish the lowest price which might be acceptable to Shareholders consistent with the [Bidder’s] objectives.”

 

3.                The Company intends to undertake a series of transactions in order to facilitate a liquidity event in the near term, which, if successful, will result in the holders of Common Stock receiving shares of a publicly-traded company. On December 13, 2022, the Company announced the entry into an agreement and plan of merger (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”) with Fifth Wall Acquisition Corp. III, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“FWAC”), and Queen Merger Corp. I, a Maryland corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of FWAC (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, as a result of a series of transactions (the “Proposed Transactions”) among FWAC, Merger Sub and the Company, (i) holders of Common Stock will receive 1.5 shares of common stock of a new, publicly traded company (“PubCo”), subject to the receipt of cash in lieu of fractional shares, for each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding and (ii) holders of Preferred Stock will receive one share of Series 1 Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock of PubCo or one share of Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock of PubCo, as applicable, having terms materially the same as the applicable Series 1 Preferred Stock or Series A Preferred Stock for each share of Series 1 Preferred Stock or Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding, respectively. The closing of the Proposed Transactions is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of various conditions, including the approval of common stockholders of the Company and stockholders of FWAC of the Proposed Transactions. Each of the Company and FWAC expects to hold a special meeting of stockholders to approve the Proposed Transactions as soon as practicable.

 

4.                The tender offer is subject to certain conditions, some of which provide the Bidder with the “reasonable” discretion to determine whether the conditions have been met, such as the Bidder’s determination as to whether there has been any change or development that has occurred or been threatened with respect to the Company that would be materially adverse to the Company. There is no guarantee that the tender offer will be completed in the time frame that the tender offer implies. In addition, the tender offer can be amended for various reasons or can be terminated or extended with little notice to the stockholders.

 

 

 

5.                None of the Company’s directors, executive officers, subsidiaries or other affiliates who hold Shares intend to tender Shares to the Bidder.

 

In summary, we believe the tender offer represents an attempt by the Bidder to catch current stockholders of the Company off- guard and acquire the Shares at a low price prior to a liquidity event in order to make a profit and, as a result, deprive the stockholders tendering their Shares of the potential long-term value of the Shares. Accordingly, we recommend that you reject the tender offer and not tender any of your Shares to the Bidder. To decline the Bidder’s tender offer, simply ignore it. You do not need to respond to anything.

 

We acknowledge that each stockholder must evaluate whether to tender its Shares to the Bidder pursuant to the tender offer and that, because there is currently no trading market for the Shares, an individual stockholder may determine to tender based on, among other considerations, its individual liquidity needs. In addition, we believe that in making a decision as to whether to tender its Shares to the Bidder pursuant to the tender offer, each stockholder should keep in mind that none of the Company, the Board of Directors or their respective advisors makes any assurances with respect to (i) future distributions, if any, (ii) the timing of or ability to provide liquidity to the stockholders, (iii) the consummation of the Proposed Transactions or (iv) the future value of the Shares.

 

PLEASE CONSULT WITH YOUR TAX ADVISOR ABOUT THE IMPACT OF A SALE OF YOUR SHARES ON YOUR OWN PARTICULAR SITUATION.

 

Please be aware that the Bidder is in no way affiliated with the Company. Also, please note that the Bidder does not have a copy of our stockholder list. The Bidder’s mailing has been conducted by a third party, which has agreed to keep the list of our stockholders confidential.

 

We urge you to consult your financial advisor and exercise caution with respect to this and other mini-tender offers. Mini- tender offers are offers to purchase less than 5% of a company’s outstanding shares. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has cautioned investors about offers of this nature. Additional information about mini-tender offers is available on the SEC’s website at https://www.sec.gov/reportspubs/investor-publications/investorpubsminitendhtm.html

 

In order to avoid the costs of additional mailings, we may post any updates or changes to our response to this mini-tender offer and/or our response to future mini-tender offers at www.mobileit.com. If you have any questions related to the tender offer, please contact the Bidder at (925) 631-9100.

 

We thank you for your investment in the Company.
