Item 3.Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

July 28, 2021, the Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by the Issuer (File No. 333-257602) in connection with its initial public offering of 52,375,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “IPO”) was declared effective. The closing of the IPO took place on August 2, 2021 (the “Closing”).

 

Prior to the IPO, NEA 15 purchased from the Issuer in a series of private transactions, (i) 2,509,120 shares of common stock (the “NEA 15 Common Stock”), (ii) 55,055,000 shares of Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the “NEA 15 Series B Preferred Stock”), (iii) 5,804,240 shares of Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the “NEA 15 Series C Preferred Stock”), (iv) 492,853 shares of Series D Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the “NEA 15 Series D Preferred Stock”), (v) 1,521,305 shares of Series E Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the “NEA 15 Series E Preferred Stock”), (vi) a Tranche I Convertible Promissory Note (the “NEA 15 Note”) and (vii) a warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 211,466 shares of Common Stock, exercisable within 60 days (the “NEA 15 Warrant Stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of $116,320,374.84.  Immediately prior to the closing of the IPO, (A) the NEA 15 Series B Preferred Stock, NEA 15 Series C Preferred Stock, NEA 15 Series D Preferred Stock and NEA 15 Series E Preferred Stock automatically converted into an 62,873,398 shares of the Issuer’s common stock and then, following such conversion, each such share of common stock and the NEA 15 Common Stock was reclassified into one share of Common Stock and (B) the principal amount of the NEA 15 Note and accrued interest thereon automatically converted into 1,449,600 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer at a conversion price equal to $26.60 (the “Note Conversion Price”). NEA 15 Warrants have been added to the Issuer's total number of Common Stock outstanding, such that NEA 15 now holds a total of 67,043,584 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock and may be deemed to hold the NEA 15 Warrant Stock (collectively, the “NEA 15 Shares”).

 

Prior to the IPO, NEA 17 purchased from the Issuer in a series of private transactions, (i) 4,486,208 shares of Series E Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the “NEA 17 Series E Preferred Stock”), (ii) 1,600,000 shares of Series F Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the “NEA 17 Series F Preferred Stock”), (iii) a Tranche I Convertible Promissory Note (the “NEA 17 Note”) and (vii) a warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 211,466 shares of Common Stock, exercisable within 60 days (the “NEA 17 Warrant Stock” and, collectively with the NEA 15 Warrant Stock, the “Firm Warrant Stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of $114,757,787.07.  Immediately prior to the closing of the IPO, (A) the NEA 17 Series E Preferred Stock and NEA 17 Series F Preferred Stock automatically converted into an 6,086,208 shares of the Issuer’s common stock and then, following such conversion, each such share of common stock was reclassified into one share of Common Stock and (B) the principal amount of the NEA 17 Note and accrued interest thereon automatically converted into 1,449,600 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer at the Note Conversion Price. NEA 17 now holds a total of 7,747,274 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock and may be deemed to hold the NEA 17 Warrant Stock (collectively, the “NEA 17 Shares”).

 

Collectively, the Funds now hold a total of 74,790,858 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock and are deemed to hold the Firm Warrant Stock (collectively, the “Firm Shares”).

 

The working capital of NEA 15 was the source of the funds for the purchase of the NEA 15 Shares.
