Business Combination

On November 25, 2019, the Issuer announced the consummation of its business combination with Kaleyra S.p.A. (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 22, 2019, as amended, by and among GigCapital, Kaleyra S.p.A., the shareholders of Kaleyra S.p.A. (the “Sellers”) and the Shareholder Representative Services LLC, in its capacity as the Sellers’ representative (“Sellers’ Representative”) (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), following the approval at the special meeting of the stockholders of GigCapital held on November 22, 2019 (the “Special Meeting”). In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, the registrant changed its name from GigCapital, Inc. to Kaleyra, Inc. subsequent to the Special Meeting.

CUSIP No. 483379 103 13D Page 4 of 8 pages

Registration Rights Agreement

On December 7, 2017, GigCapital (now Kaleyra) entered into a registration rights agreement with certain of its stockholders (the “Registration Rights Holders”), pursuant to which such Registration Rights Holders were granted certain rights relating to the registration of shares of common stock held by them.

Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Kaleyra, the Sellers’ Representative and the Registration Rights Holders on November 25, 2019 entered into an amended and restated registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) which became effective as of closing of the Business Combination. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Registration Rights Holders hold registration rights that obligate Kaleyra to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), all or any portion of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) held by the Registration Rights Holders. Each or any of Cowen Investments II LLC (“Cowen”), Seller’s Representative or stockholders holding a majority-in-interest of the then-outstanding Registrable Securities will be entitled to make a written demand for registration under the Securities Act of all or part of the their Registrable Securities, subject to exceptions, including that such shares are not then restricted under the Lock-Up Agreement (as more completely described in the Proxy Statement) and the gross proceeds reasonably anticipated to be generated from the offering subject to such demand equals or exceeds $15.0 million. Subject to certain exceptions, if any time after the Closing, Kaleyra proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to its securities, under the Registration Rights Agreement, Kaleyra shall give notice to the Registration Rights Holders as to the proposed filing and offer such stockholders an opportunity to register the sale of such number of their Registrable Securities as they request in writing. In addition, subject to certain exceptions, the Registration Rights Holders will be entitled under the Registration Rights Agreement to request in writing that Kaleyra register the resale of any or all of their Registrable Securities on Form S-3 and any similar short-form registration statement that may be available at such time.

Under the Registration Rights Agreement, Kaleyra agreed to indemnify the Registration Rights Holders and certain persons or entities related to the Registration Rights Holders against any losses or damages resulting from any untrue statement or omission of a material fact in any registration statement or prospectus pursuant to which they sell Registrable Securities, unless such liability arose from their misstatement or omission, and such stockholders, including Registrable Securities in any registration statement or prospectus will agree to indemnify Kaleyra and certain persons or entities related to Kaleyra against all losses caused by their misstatements or omissions in those documents.

The foregoing descriptions of the Stock Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the full text of such agreements, each of which is attached as an exhibit to this Schedule 13D and incorporated herein by reference.

General

The Reporting Persons acquired the securities described in this Schedule 13D for investment purposes and intend to review their investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis.

Subject to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Reporting Persons may acquire additional securities of the Issuer, or retain or sell all or a portion of the securities then held, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.
