| Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
Liberty Investment
As previously disclosed, CF Acquisition Corp. V, a Delaware corporation (“CF V”), Nettar Group Inc. (d/b/a Satellogic), a business company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (the “Company” or “Satellogic”), Satellogic Inc., a business company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“PubCo”), and the other parties thereto, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated July 5, 2021, pursuant to which the Company and CF V will complete a business combination (the “Business Combination”).
Liberty Investment
On January 18, 2022, the Company and CF V entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “Liberty Subscription Agreement”) with Liberty Strategic Capital (SATL) Holdings, LLC (the “Liberty Investor”), a Cayman Islands limited liability company and investment vehicle managed by Liberty 77 Capital L.P. (the “Liberty Manager” and together with the Liberty Investor, “Liberty”) pursuant to which the Liberty Investor agreed to purchase, and the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Liberty Investor, following satisfaction or waiver of the conditions in the Liberty Subscription Agreement (the closing date of the Liberty Investment (as defined below), the “Liberty Closing”), (i) 20,000,000 Class A ordinary shares of the Company par value $0.0001 per share (any Class A ordinary shares, “Class A Ordinary Shares” and such shares, the “Liberty Shares”), (ii) 5,000,000 warrants, each warrant providing the holder thereof the right to purchase one (1) Class A Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $10.00 per share (the “$10.00 Liberty Warrants”), and (iii) 15,000,000 warrants, each warrant providing the holder thereof the right to purchase one (1) Class A Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $15.00 per share (the “$15.00 Liberty Warrants” and together with the $10.00 Liberty Warrants, the “Liberty Warrants”), in a private placement (the “Liberty Investment”) for an aggregate purchase price of $150.0 million. The Liberty Warrants will be issued at the Liberty Closing, will expire on the fifth anniversary thereof and will, except as described below, otherwise generally have the same terms and conditions as the CF V warrants held by CF V’s sponsor, CFAC Holdings V, LLC. For so long as Liberty or its permitted transferees hold Liberty Warrants, such held warrants will not be redeemable by the Company.
Closing of the Liberty Investment is subject to customary closing conditions, including the consummation of the Business Combination and expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act relating to such investment, and is therefore expected to close in the first half of February 2022. Consequently, the closing of the Business Combination is expected to occur prior to the closing of the Liberty Investment.
In connection with the issuance of the Liberty Shares and the Liberty Warrants, (i) the Company has agreed to provide the Liberty Investor with the same registration rights with respect to the Liberty Securities (as defined below) as the Company provided to the PIPE subscribers in the PIPE subscription agreements, and (ii) the Liberty Investor has agreed to subject the Liberty Securities to transfer restrictions for a period of one year following the Closing of the Business Combination. The “Liberty Securities” means the Liberty Shares, the Liberty Warrants, and the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Liberty Warrants and the Advisory Fee Warrants (as defined below).
Contemporaneously with the execution of the Liberty Subscription Agreement, the Company, Liberty and Sponsor entered into that certain letter agreement (the “Liberty Letter Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed that, for so long as the Liberty Investor (or affiliates managed by the Liberty Manager or its affiliates) hold, in the aggregate, at least 6,666,666 Company Class A Ordinary Shares, (i) the Liberty Investor will have the right to nominate two directors for election to the Company Board by the Company shareholders, which director nominees must be reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Liberty Directors”), (ii) the Liberty Investor will have the right to nominate one Liberty Director to serve on each committee of the Company Board, (iii) so long as Company Class B ordinary shares of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Ordinary Shares”) are outstanding, the Company will be required to obtain the consent of the Liberty Investor if the Company were to issue in a transaction, or series of transactions, a number of shares that equals or exceeds 20% of the outstanding Company Ordinary Shares on a fully diluted basis, subject to exceptions for issuances by the Company in connection with (a) any acquisition by the Company of equity interests, assets, properties or business of any person, (b) any merger, consolidation or other business combination involving the Company, (c) any transaction or series of related
transactions involving a change of control of the Company or (d) any equity split, payment of distributions or any similar recapitalization, and (iii) the Company will pay the Liberty Manager an advisory fee for advisory services to be provided by the Liberty Investor and the Liberty Directors to the Company of (x) warrants to purchase 2,500,000 Class A Ordinary Shares, at an exercise price of $10.00 per Class A Ordinary Share (the “Advisory Fee Warrants”) to be issued at the Liberty Closing, will be exercisable beginning at the Liberty Closing and will expire five years from the date thereof and (y) $1.25 million to be paid on each of the six quarterly anniversaries beginning on the 18 month anniversary of the Liberty Closing (the “Advisory Fee Cash Payments”). In exchange for the Advisory Fee, the Liberty Investor has agreed to be reasonably available and to make the Liberty Directors reasonably available from time to time to advise the Company until the occurrence of a Cessation Event (defined below). In the event that the Liberty Investor (or affiliates of the Liberty Investor managed by the Liberty Manager or its affiliates) no longer holds, in the aggregate, at least 6,666,666 Company Class A Ordinary Shares (a “Cessation Event”), (i) the Liberty Investor’s right to nominate two directors will cease immediately and the terms of any then-serving Liberty Directors will expire at the next election of directors and (ii) the Liberty Manager will no longer be entitled to receive any additional Advisory Fee Cash Payments. In addition, so long as a Cessation Event has not occurred, Mr. Kargieman agreed to vote the Company Ordinary Shares held by him in favor of the election of the Liberty Director nominees. Mr. Kargieman will also cause any transferee of his Class B Ordinary Shares to agree to such obligations (other than in the case of a transfer of Class B Ordinary Shares to a transferee that would result in automatic conversion of such Class B Ordinary Shares into Class A Ordinary Shares in accordance with the Company’s memorandum and articles of association.
The parties to the Liberty Letter Agreement have agreed that the Liberty Directors will initially be Secretary Steven Terner Mnuchin, who will serve as the Company’s Non-Executive Chairman, and an individual to be designated by Liberty prior to the Liberty Closing who is reasonably acceptable to the Company. In addition, the parties agreed that (i) for so long as Emiliano Kargieman and his affiliates own beneficially at least one-third of the number of shares of the Company owned on the Closing Date (subject to customary adjustments for corporate events), Mr. Kargieman will have the right to designate two directors for election to the Company Board by the Company shareholders, one of whom will be Mr. Kargieman and the other shall be reasonably acceptable to Liberty and Sponsor, who will initially be Marcos Galperin, (ii) for so long as Sponsor and its affiliates own beneficially at least one-third of the number of shares of the Company owned on the Closing Date (subject to customary adjustments for corporate events), Howard Lutnick will be designated for election to the Company Board by the Company shareholders and (iii) three individuals will be designated by the Company’s nominating committee, which individuals will initially be Ted Wang, Brad Halverson and an individual designated by Mr. Kargieman who is reasonably acceptable to Liberty and whose appointment shall be in compliance with NASDAQ listing requirements, each of whom will be appointed prior to Closing.
A proxy statement/prospectus supplement which supplements the proxy statement/prospectus dated November 12, 2021 relating to (x) the special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) of CF V at which CF V’s stockholders (the “CF V Stockholders”) will consider and vote upon the “Business Combination Proposal,” to adopt the Merger Agreement and (y) the issuance of Company Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by, an 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 CFV and Satellogic. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this press release, including but not limited to: (i) the risk that the transaction may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of CFV’s securities, (ii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the transaction, including the adoption of the merger agreement by CFV’s stockholders, the satisfaction of the minimum trust account amount following any redemptions by CFV’s public stockholders and the receipt of certain governmental and regulatory approvals, (iii) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement, (iv) the inability to complete the PIPE offering or the Liberty investment, (v) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the transaction on Satellogic’s business relationships, operating results and business generally, (vi) risks that the transaction disrupts current plans and operations of Satellogic, (vii) changes in the competitive and highly regulated industries in which Satellogic operates, variations in operating performance across competitors and changes in laws and regulations affecting Satellogic’s business, (viii) the ability to implement business plans, forecasts and other expectations after the completion of the transaction, and identify and realize additional opportunities, (ix) the risk of downturns in the commercial launch services, satellite and spacecraft industry, (x) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Satellogic or CFV related to the merger agreement or the transaction, (xi) volatility in the price of CFV’s or any successor entity’s securities due to a variety of factors, including changes in the competitive and highly regulated industries in which Satellogic operates or plans to operate, variations in performance across competitors, changes in laws and regulations affecting Satellogic’s business and changes in the combined capital structure, (xii) costs related to the transaction and the failure to realize anticipated benefits of the transaction or to realize estimated pro forma results and underlying assumptions, including with respect to estimated stockholder redemptions, (xiii) the risk that Satellogic and its current and future collaborators are unable to successfully develop and commercialize Satellogic’s products or services, or experience significant delays in doing so, (xiv) the risk that Satellogic may never achieve or sustain profitability, (xv) the risk that Satellogic may need to raise additional capital to execute its business plan, which many not be available on acceptable terms or at all, (xvi) the risk that the post-combination company experiences difficulties in managing its growth and expanding operations, (xvii) the risk that third-party suppliers and manufacturers are not able to fully and timely meet their obligations, (xviii) the risk of product liability or regulatory lawsuits or proceedings relating to Satellogic’s products and services, (xix) the risk that Satellogic is unable to secure or protect its intellectual property and (xx) the risk that the post-combination company’s securities will not be approved for listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC or another stock exchange or if approved, maintain the listing.
