Item 1.01          Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Business Combination Agreement

 

On March 15, 2021, Therapeutics Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation d/b/a Research Alliance Corp. I (“RACA”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among RACA, Bodhi Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of RACA, and POINT Biopharma Inc., a Delaware corporation (“POINT”).

 

The Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were approved by the boards of directors of each of RACA and POINT.

 

The Business Combination

 

The Business Combination Agreement provides for, among other things, that Merger Sub will merge with and into POINT, with POINT as the surviving company in the merger and, after giving effect to such merger, POINT shall be a wholly-owned subsidiary of RACA (the “Merger”). In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, at the effective time, (i) each share and vested equity award of POINT outstanding as of immediately prior to the effective time will be exchanged for shares of RACA common stock or comparable vested equity awards that are settled or are exercisable for shares of RACA common stock, as applicable, based on an implied POINT vested equity value of $585,000,000; (ii) all unvested equity awards of POINT will be exchanged for comparable unvested equity awards that are settled or exercisable for shares of RACA common stock, as applicable, determined based on the same implied POINT vested equity value described in clause (i); and (iii) each share of RACA Class A common stock and each share of RACA Class B common stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become one share of the common stock of RACA following the consummation of the Business Combination, par value $0.0001 per share. In addition, RACA will be renamed POINT Biopharma Global Inc. (“New POINT”). The Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the “Business Combination”. Other capitalized terms used, but not defined herein, shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Business Combination Agreement.

 

 

 

 

The Business Combination is expected to close in mid-year 2021, following the receipt of the required approval by RACA’s stockholders and the fulfillment of other customary closing conditions.

 

Representations and Warranties; Covenants

 

The parties to the Business Combination Agreement have agreed to customary representations and warranties for transactions of this type. In addition, the parties to the Business Combination Agreement agreed to be bound by certain customary covenants for transactions of this type, including, among others, covenants with respect to the conduct of POINT and its subsidiaries during the period between execution of the Business Combination Agreement and the Closing. Each of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to cause all actions and things necessary to consummate and expeditiously implement the Business Combination.

 

Conditions to Each Party’s Obligations

 

Under the Business Combination Agreement, the obligations of the parties to consummate the Merger are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions of the respective parties, including, without limitation: (i) the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder relating to the Business Combination having been expired or been terminated; (ii) no order or law issued by any court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental entity or other legal restraint or prohibition preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination being in effect; (iii) the registration statement/proxy statement to be filed by RACA relating to the Business Combination Agreement and the Merger becoming effective in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), no stop order being issued by Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and remaining in effect with respect to the registration statement/proxy statement to be filed by RACA relating to the Business Combination Agreement and the Merger, and no proceeding seeking such a stop order being threatened or initiated by the SEC and remaining pending; (iv) the approval and adoption of the Business Combination Agreement and transactions contemplated thereby by requisite vote of RACA’s stockholders (the “Required RACA Stockholder Vote”); (v) the absence of a Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) since the date of the Business Combination Agreement that is continuing; (vi) RACA has not redeemed Class A common stock in an amount that would cause RACA to have net tangible assets in its trust account of less than $5,000,001 (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) immediately after the Effective Time of the Business Combination; and (vii) the New POINT Board consisting of the number of directors, and comprising the individuals, determined pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement.

 

 

 

 

Termination

 

The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances at any time prior to the Closing, including, without limitation (i) by the mutual written consent of RACA and POINT; (ii) by RACA, subject to certain exceptions, if any of the representations or warranties made by POINT are not true and correct or if POINT fails to perform any of its respective covenants or agreements under the Business Combination Agreement (including an obligation to consummate the Closing) such that certain conditions to the obligations of RACA, could not be satisfied and the breach (or breaches) of such representations or warranties or failure (or failures) to perform such covenants or agreements is (or are) not cured or cannot be cured within the earlier of (A) thirty (30) days after written notice thereof, and (B) September 15, 2021 (the “Termination Date”); (iii) by POINT, subject to certain exceptions, if any of the representations or warranties made by the RACA Parties are not true and correct or if any RACA Party fails to perform any of its covenants or agreements under the Business Combination Agreement (including an obligation to consummate the Closing) such that the condition to the obligations of POINT, as could not be satisfied and the breach (or breaches) of such representations or warranties or failure (or failures) to perform such covenants or agreements is (or are) not cured or cannot be cured within the earlier of (A) thirty (30) days after written notice thereof, and (B) the Termination Date; (iv) by either RACA or POINT, if the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are not consummated on or prior to the Termination Date, unless the breach of any covenants or obligations under the Business Combination Agreement by the party seeking to terminate proximately caused the failure to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement; (v) by either RACA or POINT, if (A) any governmental entity shall have issued an order or taken any other action permanently enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and such order or other action shall have become final and nonappealable; or (B) if the Required RACA Stockholder Vote is not obtained; and (vi) by RACA, if POINT does not deliver, or cause to be delivered to RACA, the POINT stockholder written consent or the POINT Stockholder Transaction Support Agreements when required under the Business Combination Agreement.

 

If the Business Combination Agreement is validly terminated, none of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement will have any liability or any further obligation under the Business Combination Agreement other than customary confidentiality obligations, except in the case of a Willful Breach of any covenant or agreement under the Business Combination Agreement or Fraud.

 

A copy of the Business Combination Agreement will be filed as an Amendment on Form 8-K/A to this Current Report within four (4) business days of the date hereof as Exhibit 2.1 (the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference) and the foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto. The Business Combination Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of the Business Combination Agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating such agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Business Combination Agreement are also modified in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to stockholders and were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. RACA does not believe that these schedules contain information that is material to an investment decision.

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Therapeutics Acquisition Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), certain affiliates of the Sponsor and POINT entered into the Sponsor Letter Agreement (the “Sponsor Letter Agreement”), pursuant to which such affiliates of the Sponsor have agreed to, among other things, (i) vote in favor of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (including the Business Combination), (ii) waive any adjustment to the conversion ratio set forth in the governing documents of RACA or any other anti-dilution or similar protection with respect to the shares of Class B common stock (whether resulting from the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements (as defined below) or otherwise), (iii) be bound by certain other covenants and agreements related to the Business Combination and (iv) be bound by certain transfer restrictions with respect to his, her or its shares in RACA prior to the closing of the Business Combination, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Sponsor Letter Agreement.

These statements are based on the current expectations of RACA’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on, by any investor as a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of RACA and POINT. These statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties regarding RACA’s businesses and the Business Combination, and actual results may differ materially. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, general economic, political and business conditions; the inability of the parties to consummate the Business Combination or the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the parties following the announcement of the Business Combination; the receipt of an unsolicited offer from another party for an alternative business transaction that could interfere with the Business Combination; the risk that the approval of the stockholders of RACA or POINT for the potential transaction is not obtained; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, including as a result of a delay in consummating the potential transaction or difficulty in integrating the businesses of RACA and POINT; the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably and retain its key employees; the amount of redemption requests made by RACA’s stockholders; the inability to obtain or maintain the listing of the post-acquisition company’s securities on Nasdaq following the Business Combination; costs related to the Business Combination; and those factors discussed in RACA’s final prospectus relating to its initial public offering, dated July 7, 2020, and filed with the SEC on July 9, 2020, and other filings with the SEC. There may be additional risks that RACA presently does not know or that RACA currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements provide RACA’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this communication. RACA anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause RACA’s assessments to change. However, while RACA may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, RACA specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing RACA’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this communication. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
