Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 18, 2021, the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-252594) (the “Registration Statement”) relating to the initial public offering (the “IPO”) of Longview Acquisition Corp. II (the “Company”) was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. A related Registration Statement on Form S-1MEF (File No. 333-254478), filed with the SEC on March 18, 2021, pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, became effective upon filing. On March 23, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 69,000,000 units (the “Units”), which includes 9,000,000 Units issued pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional Units to cover over-allotments. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Class A Common Stock”), and one-fifth of one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrants”), each whole Public Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $690,000,000 (before underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses). Further, in connection with the IPO, the Company entered into the following agreements, forms of which were previously filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement:

a Warrant Agreement, dated March 18, 2021, between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agreement”), which sets forth the expiration and exercise price of and procedure for exercising the Warrants; certain adjustment features of the terms of exercise; provisions relating to redemption and cashless exercise of the Warrants; certain registration rights of the holders of Warrants; provision for amendments to the Warrant Agreement; and indemnification of the warrant agent by the Company under the agreement;
     
 
an Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated March 18, 2021, between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee, which establishes the trust account that will hold the net proceeds of the IPO and certain of the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, and sets forth the responsibilities of the trustee; the procedures for withdrawal and direction of funds from the trust account; and indemnification of the trustee by the Company under the agreement;
     
 
a Registration Rights Agreement, dated March 18, 2021, between the Company, the Sponsor and certain other security holders, which provides for customary demand and piggy-back registration rights for the Sponsor and the other security holders party thereto;

Indemnity Agreements, each dated March 18, 2021, between the Company and each of the officers and directors of the Company, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to indemnify each officer and director of the Company against certain claims that may arise in their roles as officers and directors of the Company;

 
a Forward Purchase Agreement, dated March 18, 2021, among the Company and Glenview Capital Partners L.P., Glenview Institutional Partners, L.P., Glenview Capital Master Fund, LTD., Glenview Capital Opportunity Fund, L.P. and Glenview Offshore Opportunity Master Fund, LTD. (the “Glenview Funds”), and Glenview Capital Management, LLC pursuant to which the Glenview Funds have agreed to purchase, in a private placement transaction to close concurrently with the closing of the initial business combination, an aggregate of up to 10,000,000 units (the “Forward Purchase Units”) for an aggregate purchase price of up to $100,000,000, or $10.00 per Forward Purchase Unit. The Glenview Funds will determine in their sole discretion the specific number of Forward Purchase Units they will purchase, if any, pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement; and

The above descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the applicable agreement, each of which is incorporated by reference herein and attached hereto as Exhibits 1.1, 10.1, 4.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5,10.6, 10.7 and 10.8 respectively.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The disclosure set forth above in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K with respect to the Loan Agreement is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO and the issuance and sale of the Units, the Company consummated the private placement of 9,800,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of $14,700,000 (the “Private Placement”). The Private Placement Warrants, which were purchased by the Sponsor, are substantially similar to the Public Warrants, except that if held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, they (i) may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, (ii) are not subject to being called for redemption under certain redemption scenarios (except in certain redemption scenarios when the price per share of Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $10.00 (as adjusted)), (iii) subject to certain limited exceptions, will be subject to transfer restrictions until 30 days following the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination and (iv) will be entitled to registration rights. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company under all redemption scenarios and exercisable by holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants. The Private Placement Warrants have been issued pursuant to, and are governed, by the Warrant Agreement.

The disclosure set forth above in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K with respect to the Loan Agreement is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On March 18, 2021, in connection with the IPO, Westley Moore, Shalinee Sharma and Brian Zied (the “New Directors” and, collectively with Larry Robbins and John Rodin, the “Directors”) were appointed to the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”). Effective March 18, 2021, each of Messrs. Moore and Zied and Ms. Sharma was also appointed to the Board’s Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, with Mr. Zied serving as chair of the Audit Committee, Ms. Sharma serving as chair of the Compensation Committee and Mr. Moore serving as chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

In January 2021, the Sponsor transferred 25,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock to each of Messrs. Moore and Zied and Ms. Sharma. The Company will reimburse the Directors for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with fulfilling their roles as directors.

Other than the foregoing, none of the Directors are party to any arrangement or understanding with any person pursuant to which they were appointed as directors, nor are they party to any transactions required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K involving the Company.

Item 5.03 Amendments to Certificate of Incorporation.

On March 18, 2021, the Company adopted its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is attached as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

A total of $690,000,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement (which includes $22,225,000 of the underwriters’ deferred discount) was placed in a U.S. based trust account with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee.
