EXPLANATORY NOTE

On July 1, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), Immatics N.V. (f/k/a Immatics B.V.), a Netherlands public limited liability company (the “Company”), consummated the previously announced business combination pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of March 17, 2020, as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated June 7, 2020 (as amended, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among the Company, ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“ARYA”), Immatics Biotechnologies GmbH, a German limited liability company (“Immatics”), Immatics Merger Sub 1, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“ARYA Merger Sub”), and Immatics Merger Sub 2, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“IB Merger Sub”).

On the Closing Date, the following transactions occurred pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement (collectively, the “Business Combination”):

 

   

Shareholders of Immatics exchanged (the “Exchange”) their equity interests in Immatics for an aggregate number of ordinary shares, nominal value €0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Ordinary Shares”) equal to (i) $350,000,000, divided by (ii) $10.00 (including (A) holders of vested Immatics stock appreciation rights that received cash proceeds in exchange for the cancellation of such stock appreciation rights and subsequently invested portions of such cash proceeds in the Company in exchange for Ordinary Shares, and (B) holders of unvested Immatics stock appreciation rights that received options to purchase Ordinary Shares in exchange for the cancellation of such rights).

 

   

Immediately after the Exchange, the legal form of the Company was changed from a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) to a public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap).

 

   

ARYA Merger Sub merged with and into ARYA (the “First Merger”), with ARYA as the surviving company (the “First Surviving Company”), and, after giving effect to the First Merger, becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

   

In connection with the First Merger, each issued and outstanding ordinary share of ARYA was converted into one ordinary share of the First Surviving Company and, immediately thereafter, each of the resulting ordinary shares of the First Surviving Company was automatically exchanged for one Ordinary Share.

 

   

Each outstanding warrant to purchase a Class A ordinary share of ARYA was, by its terms, converted into a warrant to purchase one Ordinary Share (the “Public Warrants”), other than the warrants held by ARYA Sciences Holdings, a Cayman Islands exempted company and an affiliate of ARYA (the “ARYA Sponsor”), which were forfeited. The Public Warrants entitle the holder to purchase one Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share and will become exercisable 30 days after the Closing Date. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the Closing Date or earlier upon redemption or liquidation in accordance with their terms.

 

   

The First Surviving Company merged with and into IB Merger Sub, with IB Merger Sub as the surviving company in the merger, and each issued and outstanding First Surviving Company share was automatically converted into one ordinary share of IB Merger Sub.

Prior to the Business Combination, the Company did not conduct any material activities other than those incident to its formation and the matters contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, such as the making of certain required securities law filings, and the establishment of ARYA Merger Sub and IB Merger Sub. Upon the closing of the Business Combination, the Company became the direct parent of Immatics, a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of T cell receptor-based immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer.

On March 17, 2020, concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company and ARYA entered into Subscription Agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which the PIPE Investors agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and the Company agreed to issue and sell to such PIPE Investors, an aggregate of 10,415,000 Ordinary Shares at $10.00 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $104.2 million (the “PIPE Financing”) on the Closing Date, $25.0 million of which was funded by an affiliate of the ARYA Sponsor. The PIPE Financing closed concurrently with the Business Combination.

E. Share Ownership

Information regarding the ownership of Ordinary Shares by our directors and executive officers is set forth in Item 7.A of this Report.

 

ITEM 7.

MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

A. Major Shareholders

The following table sets forth information relating to the beneficial ownership of our Ordinary Shares as of the Closing Date by:

 

   

each person, or group of affiliated persons, known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of outstanding Ordinary Shares;

 

   

each of our directors;

 

   

each of our named executive officers; and

 

   

all of our directors and executive officers as a group.

The SEC has defined “beneficial ownership” of a security to mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of voting power and/or investment power over such security. A shareholder is also deemed to be, as of any date, the beneficial owner of all securities that such shareholder has the right to acquire within 60 days after that date through (i) the exercise of any option, warrant or right, (ii) the conversion of a security, (iii) the power to revoke a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement, or (iv) the automatic termination of a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, ordinary shares subject to options or other rights (as set forth above) held by that person that are currently exercisable, or will become exercisable within 60 days thereafter, are deemed outstanding, while such shares are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing percentage ownership of any other person. Each person named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to all of the ordinary shares shown as beneficially owned by such person, except as otherwise indicated in the table or footnotes below.

The percentage of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned is computed on the basis of 62,908,617 Ordinary Shares outstanding on the Closing Date, after giving effect to the Business Combination and the PIPE Financing, and does not include 7,187,500 Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Public Warrants that will remain outstanding following the Business Combination.

Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by them. To our knowledge, no Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by any executive officer, director or director nominee have been pledged as security.

THE OFFER AND LISTING

A. Offer and Listing Details

Nasdaq Listing of Ordinary Shares and Public Warrants

The Ordinary Shares and Public Warrants are listed on Nasdaq under the symbols IMTX and IMTXW, respectively. Holders of Ordinary Shares and Public Warrants should obtain current market quotations for their securities. There can be no assurance that the Ordinary Shares and/or Public Warrants will remain listed on Nasdaq. If the Company fails to comply with the Nasdaq listing requirements, the Ordinary Shares and/or Public Warrants could be delisted from Nasdaq. In particular, Nasdaq requires us to have at least 300 round lot holders of Ordinary Shares and 100 round lot holders of Public Warrants. A delisting of the Ordinary Shares will likely affect the liquidity of the Ordinary Shares and could inhibit or restrict the ability of the Company to raise additional financing.

Lock-up Agreements

Information regarding the lock-up restrictions applicable to the Ordinary Shares is included in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus under the section titled “The Business Combination Agreement and Ancillary Documents—Investor Rights Agreement” and is incorporated herein by reference.

Public Warrants

Upon the completion of the Business Combination, there were 7,187,500 Public Warrants outstanding. The Public Warrants, which entitle the holder to purchase one Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation in accordance with their terms.

(Sanctiewet 1977), national emergency legislation, or other legislation, applicable anti-boycott regulations and similar rules. Pursuant to the Dutch Foreign Financial Relations Act 1994 (Wet financiële betrekkingen buitenland 1994) entities could be obliged to provide certain financial information to the Dutch Central Bank for statistical purposes only. The European Directive Mandatory Disclosure Rules (2011/16/EU) in relation to cross-border tax arrangements can provide for future notification requirements.

Under German law, there are no exchange controls restricting the transfer of funds between Germany and other countries or individuals subject to applicable restrictions concerning import or export control or sanctions and measures against certain persons, entities and countries subject to embargoes in accordance with German law and applicable resolutions adopted by the United Nations and the European Union.

Under German foreign trade regulation, with certain exceptions, every corporation or individual residing in Germany must report to the German Central Bank on any payment received from or made to a non-resident corporation or individual if the payment exceeds € 12,500 (or the equivalent in a foreign currency). Additionally, corporations and individuals residing in Germany must report to the German Central Bank on any claims of a resident against, or liabilities payable to, a non-resident corporation or individual exceeding an aggregate of € 5 million (or the equivalent in a foreign currency) at the end of any calendar month. Resident corporations and individuals are also required to report annually to the German Central Bank on any stakes of 10% or more they hold in the equity of non-resident corporations with total assets of more than € 3 million. Corporations residing in Germany with assets in excess of € 3 million must report annually to the German Central Bank on any stake of 10% or more in the company held by an individual or a corporation located outside Germany.

E. Taxation

Information regarding certain U.S. tax consequences of owning and disposing of Ordinary Shares and Public Warrants is included in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus under the section titled “Material Tax Considerations” and is incorporated herein by reference.

F. Dividends and Paying Agents

The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends and has no plan to declare or pay any dividends on Ordinary Shares in the foreseeable future. The Company currently intends to retain any earnings for future operations and expansion.

The Company will have power to make distributions to shareholders only to the extent that its equity exceeds the aggregate amount of the issued share capital and the reserves which must be maintained pursuant to Dutch law or by the articles of association of the Company. The management board of the Company or, after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the management board and the supervisory board of the Company, determine whether and how much of the profit shown in the adopted annual accounts it will reserve and the manner and date of any dividend. All calculations to determine the amounts available for dividends will be based on the company-only annual accounts, which may be different from the consolidated financial statements of the Company. In addition, the management board is permitted, subject to the approval of the supervisory board and certain requirements, to declare interim dividends without shareholder approval. The Company may reclaim any distributions, whether interim or not interim, made in contravention of certain restrictions of Dutch law from shareholders that knew or should have known that such distribution was not permissible. In addition, on the basis of Dutch case law, if after a distribution the Company is not able to pay its due and collectable debts, then its shareholders or directors who at the time of the distribution knew or reasonably should have foreseen that result may be liable to the creditors of the Company.

Since the Company is a holding company, its ability to pay dividends will be dependent upon the financial condition, liquidity and results of operations of, and the receipt of dividends, loans or other funds from, its subsidiaries. The subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligation to make funds available to the Company. In addition, there are various statutory, regulatory and contractual limitations and business considerations on the extent, if any, to which the subsidiaries of the Company may pay dividends, make loans or otherwise provide funds to the Company.
