Dear King Dreams Investor,

 

We recently shared the very exciting news that Wheels Up has taken a significant step towards becoming a public company by entering into a merger agreement with Aspirational Consumer Lifestyle Corp. (“Aspirational”) (NYSE: ASPL). Following this announcement, you are likely wondering what this transaction means for your investment in King Dreams and what impact the transaction will have assuming it goes forward as we expect it to.

 

We wanted to share the following Frequently Asked Questions to help address some of these questions.

 

Q:What will happen to King Dreams in connection with the planned merger?

 

A:            Kings Dreams is expected to be liquidated at the time of the closing of the planned merger. If everything goes forward as expected, each holder of King Dreams interests at the time of the merger will receive shares of ASPL Class A Common Stock based on their ownership interests in King Dreams.

 

Q:What will equity holders of King Dreams receive in the planned merger?

 

A:            Based on the current capitalization of Wheels Up and King Dreams, it is expected that, at the closing of the planned merger, each outstanding King Dreams Class C Interest would convert into the right to receive approximately 0.290 shares of ASPL Class A Common Stock.

 

Q:How are the conversion ratios calculated?

 

A:            The amount that holders of King Dreams interests are entitled to receive following the liquidation is based on (i) the current equity capitalization of King Dreams on an as-converted to Wheels Up interests basis, taking into account the relevant participation threshold in the case of the Class C Interests, and then (ii) converting those newly converted Wheels Up interests into shares of ASPL Class A stock. The currently calculated exchange ratio for each Wheels Up interest into shares of ASPL stock is 0.4604, which is calculated using a base purchase price for Wheels Up of $1,885,000,000 and a price per share of ASPL Class A Common Stock of $10.00. The exchange ratio will change if the number of existing Wheels Up interests changes or if the number of King Dreams interests changes prior to closing. A change in the exchange ratio would impact the number of shares of ASPL Class A Common Stock that each King Dreams interest has the right to receive following the liquidation and the merger. We do not currently expect a material adjustment one way or the other to the exchange ratios prior to closing.

 

Q:Am I entitled to receive any additional compensation as a result of this transaction?

 

A:            As a result of the planned merger, Wheels Up equity holders who hold interests at the time of the merger will also have the right to receive a pro rata share of up to 9,000,000 additional shares of ASPL Class A Common Stock. These additional shares, which are a form of earnout, would be issued if certain share price thresholds described in the merger agreement are met for specified periods of time. King Dreams equity holders are expected to be able to participate in the earnout on an as-converted to Wheels Up interests basis. Additional information about these earnout shares, and the applicable price thresholds, can be found in the Form 8-K/A filed by Aspirational on February 2, 2021.
