Exhibit 99.6

 

[__], 2021

 

Dear Coliseum Acquisition Sponsor LLC,

 

This letter agreement sets forth the terms of the agreement between Coliseum Acquisition Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), and certain investment funds and/or managed accounts managed by or affiliated with [__] (collectively, “Subscriber”). The Company is the sponsor of Coliseum Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “SPAC”), which is a blank check company formed for the purpose of acquiring one or more businesses or entities (a “Business Combination”), which intends to register its securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in connection with its initial public offering (“IPO”).

 

Sponsor Investment and Indication of Interest

 

Subscriber (i) commits to purchase limited liability company interests (the “Interests”) of the Company for a purchase price of $[__] and (ii) hereby expresses an interest to purchase a number of units of the SPAC, each unit consisting of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one redeemable warrant (with each whole warrant exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share of the SPAC), that are sold to the public in the IPO equal to [__]% of the number of such units sold in the IPO (calculated based on the number of shares outstanding if the underwriter exercises its overallotment option in full) (the “Purchased Public Units”). In conjunction with such purchase of Interests, the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of the Company (the “Operating Agreement”) will reflect the allocation to Subscriber of (a) [__] Class B ordinary shares of the SPAC (“Founder Shares”) and (b) [__] private placement warrants (“Private Placement Warrants”), in each case, held by the Company and to be purchased by the Company at the time of the IPO. Notwithstanding the foregoing, other than solely as a result of the underwriters in the IPO allocating to Subscriber less than [__]% of the units sold in the IPO, in the event Subscriber purchases a number of Purchased Public Units less than [__]% of the units sold in the IPO (in each case calculated based on the number of shares outstanding if the underwriter exercises its overallotment option in full) then the (i) the Subscriber shall forfeit a pro rata portion of its Interests in the Company (such that if Subscriber fails to purchase any Purchased Public Units, it shall forfeit all of its Interests), (ii) a pro rata portion of the allocation of Founder Shares [and Private Placement Warrants] to Subscriber set forth in the preceding sentence shall also be forfeited (such that each allocation shall be reduced to zero (0) if Subscriber fails to purchase any Purchased Public Units) and (iii) the Company shall promptly refund a pro rata portion of any purchase price for the Interests previously funded by Subscriber to the Company (such that the entire purchase price shall be refunded to Subscriber if Subscriber fails to purchase any Purchased Public Units).

 

Subscriber will fund the purchase price of the Interests to the Company at least one business day prior to the date the SPAC is expected to price its securities for sale to the public (provided that the Company provides Subscriber with reasonable advanced notice of such expected pricing date). The Founder Shares do not participate in the trust fund (“Trust Fund”) established by the SPAC for the benefit of its public shareholders as described in the registration statement filed in connection with the IPO (“Registration Statement”), and in the event the SPAC does not consummate an initial Business Combination, the Founder Shares [and the Private Placement Warrants] will expire worthless. The Company will retain voting and dispositive power over Subscriber’s Founder Shares [and Private Placement Warrants] until the consummation of the Business Combination, following which time the Company will distribute such Founder Shares [and Private Placement Warrants] to Subscriber (subject to applicable lock-up restrictions, as described below or that are agreed to by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination). If the SPAC does not consummate the IPO, any portion of the aggregate purchase price for the Interests already funded will be returned to Subscriber, without interest.

 

 

 

 

Subscriber agrees that, in consideration of the subscription for Interests as contemplated hereby, it does not have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies of the Trust Fund (“Claim”) and hereby waives any Claim it may have in the future against the Company and the SPAC and will not seek recourse against the Trust Fund for any reason whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subscriber may participate in liquidation distributions with respect to any units or ordinary shares of the SPAC purchased directly by Subscriber in the IPO or in the open market.

 

The Founder Shares [and Private Placement Warrants] allocated to the Interests will be identical to the Class A ordinary shares [and warrants] included in the units to be sold to the public by the SPAC in the IPO, except that:

 

·the Company has agreed to vote the Founder Shares in favor of any proposed Business Combination;

 

·

all Founder Shares [and Private Placement Warrants (and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants)] will be subject to the lock-up periods set forth in the Registration Statement, which lock-up periods may extend beyond the distribution by the Company to Subscriber of its Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants following the consummation of the Business Combination;

 

·

the Founder Shares [and Private Placement Warrants (and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants)] will be subject to customary registration rights, as described in the Registration Statement;

 

·Subscriber will not participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to the Founder Shares (but will participate in liquidation distributions with respect to any units or Class A ordinary shares of the SPAC purchased directly by Subscriber in the IPO or in the open market) if the SPAC fails to consummate a Business Combination; and

 

·the Founder Shares [and Private Placement Warrants] will include any additional terms or restrictions as are customary in other similarly structured blank check company offerings or as may be reasonably required by the underwriters in the IPO in order to consummate the IPO, each of which will be set forth in the Registration Statement.

 

Subscriber agrees and acknowledges that its allocation[s] of Founder Shares [is // and Private Placement Warrants are] subject to the terms of the Operating Agreement; however, the number of Founder Shares [and Private Placement Warrants] allocated to Subscriber shall (i) not be reduced in connection with a Business Combination, (ii) with respect to any earn outs or deferrals of Founder Shares [or Private Placement Warrants] agreed to in connection with a Business Combination, not exceed a $12.00 per share threshold for release or issuance, as applicable, and such terms shall not apply to more than [__] Founder Shares allocated to Subscriber, and (iii) be pari passu with the Company in respect of all other material terms related to the Business Combination.
