NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

1.

Description of the Merger

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, on March 28, 2024 we completed our planned Merger with Zapata, pursuant to which Zapata became our wholly owned subsidiary. In connection with the Merger, we filed an application for deregistration with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies and filed a certificate of incorporation and a certificate of corporate domestication with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, under which we were domesticated and continue as a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”), and changed our name to “Zapata Computing Holdings Inc.” At the effective time of the Domestication, each outstanding share of SPAC Class A Common Stock automatically converted into one share of New Company Common Stock, each outstanding share of SPAC Class B Common Stock automatically converted into one share of New Company Common Stock and the SPAC Warrants automatically became exercisable for shares of New Company Common Stock. At the effective time of the Merger, existing shareholders of Zapata received shares of New Company Common Stock in exchange for the securities held prior to the consummation of the Merger. Upon the consummation of the Merger, certain holders of the outstanding Senior Secured Notes elected to convert their notes into shares of New Company Common Stock in accordance with their terms. In connection with the consummation of the Merger, the New Company Common Stock and the SPAC Warrants were listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbols “ZPTA” and “ZPTAW”, respectively. Transaction costs paid and accrued by Zapata related to the Merger were $7.2 million and will be treated as issuance costs and netted against additional paid-in capital in our pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet at the Closing of the Merger. Refer to Note 5(s) below.

The aggregate value of the consideration that the holders of Zapata Capital Stock and Zapata Options collectively received from the SPAC in connection with the Merger was approximately $200.0 million.

At the Effective Time:

 

   

each share of Zapata Common Stock was converted into the right to receive 0.9141 shares of New Company Common Stock (the “Per Share Common Stock Consideration”).

 

   

each holder of Zapata Preferred Stock was converted into the right to receive 0.9141 shares of New Company Common Stock. Zapata determined that the Merger constituted a deemed liquidation under its charter and, as such, the holders of Zapata Preferred Stock were entitled to receive an amount per share equal to the greater of i) the applicable original issue price of the applicable series of Zapata Preferred Stock, plus any dividends declared but unpaid thereon (the “preference”), or ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Zapata Preferred Stock been converted into Zapata Common Stock immediately prior to the Merger (the “as converted amount”). The Per Share Preferred Stock Consideration was equal to the Per Share Common Stock Consideration because the as converted amount was greater than the preference.

 

   

each Zapata Option was automatically converted into an option to purchase, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Zapata Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, including applicable vesting conditions, a number of shares of New Company Common Stock determined by multiplying the Zapata Common Stock subject to the Zapata Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Per Share Common Stock Consideration and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of New Company Common Stock, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) determined by dividing the per share exercise price for the shares of Zapata Common Stock subject to the Zapata Option, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by the Per Share Common Stock Consideration.

Related events that occurred in connection with the Merger are discussed in more details below:


I.

Issuance of Senior Notes and Senior Secured Notes

 

  A.

On June 13, 2023, Zapata entered into a senior note purchase agreement and senior promissory note agreement (collectively, the “Senior Note Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors. Under the Senior Note Purchase Agreement, Zapata was authorized to issue additional Senior Notes in an aggregate principal amount of all Senior Notes outstanding not exceeding $20.0 million. In addition, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, Zapata was permitted to negotiate and enter into a committed equity facility or subscriptions to shares of Zapata capital stock for cash, or issue additional Senior Notes, subject to the aggregate amount of equity financing of Zapata (including the issuance of Senior Notes) raised, committed or issued prior to the Closing not exceeding $25.0 million (inclusive of principal amount and interest). Interest on borrowings under the Senior Notes was payable at an annum interest rate of 20.0% on the maturity date. The Senior Notes were convertible in connection with a business combination between Zapata and a publicly-traded special purpose acquisition company, including the Merger, or in connection with an initial public offering, in each case on or prior to the maturity date, at a conversion price of $8.50 per share. The purpose of the issuance of the Senior Notes was to fund general corporate expenses of the Surviving Company. As of December 22, 2023, the aggregate principal amount of $5.6 million plus accrued and unpaid interest of $0.6 million of the Senior Notes was exchanged for $6.2 million of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes. Accrued and unpaid interest on the borrowings under the Senior Notes prior to the exchange was calculated at an interest rate of 20.0% based on the 365-day period from the issuance date to the amendment date. As of December 22, 2023, all Senior Notes were canceled in exchange for Senior Secured Notes with a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Senior Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest through the date immediately prior to the exchange.

 

  B.

In December 2023, Zapata agreed to issue and sell up to an aggregate principal amount of $14.375 million of Senior Secured Notes, exclusive of any Senior Secured Notes issued in exchange for existing Senior Notes. Through the Closing Date, Zapata issued Senior Secured Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $16.2 million. The Senior Secured Notes bear compounding interest at the rate of 15% per annum. The outstanding principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon will be due and payable on December 15, 2026 (the “maturity date”). On or after December 15, 2025 or at any time when the aggregate principal amount of all Senior Secured Notes outstanding is $3.0 million or less, the Senior Secured Notes, or a portion thereof, may be prepaid by Zapata in cash without penalty.

While any Senior Secured Notes are outstanding, Zapata cannot incur additional indebtedness for borrowed money, except additional Senior Secured Notes, substantially similar notes or other debt instruments that are pari passu with or subordinate to the Senior Secured Notes, subject to certain conditions, and other exceptions described in the Senior Secured Note Purchase Agreement with respect to indebtedness incurred in Zapata’s ordinary course of business.

The Senior Secured Notes are convertible at the option of the holder in connection with a business combination between Zapata and a publicly-traded special purpose acquisition company, including the Merger, or in connection with an initial public offering, in each case on or prior to the maturity date, at a conversion price (as may be adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) of (i) $4.50 per share at the closing of such business combination, including the Merger, or initial public offering, as applicable, or (ii) $8.50 per share at any time after the closing of such business combination, including the Merger, or initial public offering, as applicable. Zapata will notify the holders of the closing of any such business combination or initial public offering at least ten business days prior to the expected closing date of such transaction, and each holder must notify Zapata of its intention to exchange a portion or all of its Senior Secured Note at least five business days prior to such closing date.

If a holder elects to exchange his or its shares in connection with the Business Combination, Zapata will cause the SPAC to (i) enter into Exchange Agreements prior to the Closing, pursuant to which such Senior Secured Notes will be exchanged for shares of New Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms of such Exchange Agreement and as set forth in the Senior Secured Note Purchase Agreement and, (ii) at the Effective Time, issue shares of New Company Common Stock to the holders of Senior Secured Notes then outstanding in exchange for such Senior Secured Notes in accordance with the terms of the Senior Secured Notes and the Exchange Agreements.


Immediately prior to the Closing of the Merger, Zapata had $16.7 million in aggregate principal and accrued interest of Senior Secured Notes outstanding. This includes the $6.2 million in aggregate principal and accrued interest under the Senior Notes that was converted into the Senior Secured Notes, Senior Secured Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $8.9 million issued for cash through the Closing Date, $1.1 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes issued to third party advisors in lieu of cash payment for services related to the Merger, and $0.5 million of interest accrued on the Senior Secured Notes through the Closing Date.

Each then-outstanding share of Zapata Capital Stock was converted into the right to receive 0.9141 shares of New Company Common Stock, which is equal to the Per Share Common Stock Consideration of 0.9141.

 

  2.

Each then-outstanding Zapata Option to purchase shares of Zapata Common Stock, whether or not exercisable and whether or not vested was automatically converted into an option to purchase, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Zapata Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, including applicable vesting conditions, a number of shares of New Company Common Stock determined by multiplying the Zapata Common Stock subject to the Zapata Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Per Share Common Stock Consideration of 0.9141 and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of New Company Common Stock, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) determined by dividing the per share exercise price for the shares of Zapata Common Stock subject to the Zapata Option by the Per Share Common Stock Consideration of 0.9141.

 

  3.

An outstanding balance, inclusive of the principal and interest of $14.7 million, of the Senior Secured Notes were exchanged and converted into 3,257,876 shares of New Company Common Stock at $4.50 per share in accordance with the terms of the Senior Secured Notes and the Exchange Agreements.

Capital Markets Advisory, Marketing and Legal Agreements

 

  A.

On July 4, 2023, we entered into an engagement letter with a third party, pursuant to which, the third party will act as a capital markets advisor to us in connection with the Merger. We agreed to pay in the following amounts:

 

  i.

An advisor fee in the sum of:

(a) $500,000 in cash payable upon the Closing of the Merger,

(b) $1,000,000 in either cash or shares of New Company Common Stock, payable 180 calendar days after the Closing of the Merger, and

(c) $1,000,000 payable in either cash or shares of New Company Common Stock, payable 270 calendar days following the Closing of the Merger (notes (b) and (c) collectively, the “Deferred Shares Arrangement”), and

 

  ii.

A transaction fee in the sum of:

(a) 4% of the gross proceeds raised from investors identified by the third party and received by us or Zapata in connection with the Merger, and

(b) 3% of the proceeds released from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shareholders identified to us by the third party that:

x) entered into a non-redemption agreement or other similar agreement, or

y) did not redeem shares of SPAC Class A Common Stock.

Pursuant to above engagement letter, upon the Closing of the Merger, we owed the third party an advisor fee of $0.5 million payable in cash, $2.0 million payable in either cash or shares, and a transaction fee of $0.1 million for an aggregate amount owed of $2.6 million.

On March 25, 2024, we and the third party entered into an amendment to the engagement letter, which amendment replaced the fees to be paid pursuant to the original engagement letter with a cash transaction fee of $6.4 million and reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses of $11.0 thousand, which were paid out of the Trust Account upon the Closing of the Merger. In addition, we recognized a loss associated with amendments to capital markets advisory agreements of $3.8 million. Refer to Note 6(g).

 

  B.

On September 13, 2023, Zapata entered into a capital markets advisory agreement with an additional third party, pursuant to which Zapata agreed to pay (i) $1.3 million for capital markets advisory services provided related to the Merger, and (ii) a placement agent’s fee equal to 5% of the aggregate purchase price paid by each investor of Senior Notes introduced by the third party. In the event the gross cash raised through Merger was below $40.0 million, in lieu of making a cash payment of $1.3 million for capital markets advisory services at Closing, Zapata agreed to pay $0.8 million in cash at Closing and $0.5 million worth of shares of New Company Common Stock at the trailing 5-day volume-weighted average price (the “VWAP”) as of the date that is 30 calendar days after the Closing.

On March 20, 2024, the capital markets advisory agreement was amended, pursuant to which, Zapata agreed to pay six monthly installments in cash of $41.7 thousand per month commencing on May 15, 2024 and issue a Senior Secured Note of $1.0 million. The third party did not convert the Senior Secured Note into shares of New Company Common Stock upon the Closing. We recognized a loss associated with amendments to capital markets advisory agreements of $0.3 million. Refer to Note 5(s).


  C.

On February 9, 2024, we entered into a marketing services agreement with an additional third party to promote investor engagement, pursuant to which we agreed to pay $0.3 million worth of shares of New Company Common Stock at issuance price upon the Closing of the Merger. The number of shares to be issued was subject to a 30-day adjustment period following February 12, 2024. In the event that the average trading price of the Surviving Company within the 30-day period was below the issuance price, an adjustment to the number of shares to be paid to the third party would be made based on the lower of (i) the issuance price, or (ii) the average trading price of the Surviving Company within the 30-day period subsequent to February 12, 2024. In connection with the Closing of the Merger, Zapata issued 30,706 shares of New Company Common Stock to the third party.

 

  D.

On February 9, 2024, we and Zapata entered into a capital markets advisory agreement with an additional third party, pursuant to which we agreed to pay the third party i) $0.3 million for capital markets advisory services provided related to the Merger, and ii) $0.2 million for services provided related to the benefit of the holders of our and Zapata’s securities. In connection with the Merger, Zapata made a cash payment of $0.5 million prior to the Closing.

On March 27, 2024, we and Zapata agreed to issue to the third party a Senior Secured Note in the aggregate principal amount of $0.1 million immediately prior to the Closing for additional capital markets advisory services provided related to the Merger, which was converted into 33,333 shares of New Company Common Stock at the Closing.

 

  E.

On February 9, 2024, Zapata and the SPAC entered into an engagement letter with an additional third party, as amended on February 27, 2024, pursuant to which the third party will continue to act as a capital markets advisor to Zapata until the date that is eighteen months following the Closing of the Merger (the “Term”). Zapata and the SPAC agreed to pay the third party a cash fee of $1.8 million, payable by the Surviving Company in monthly payments over 18 months commencing on the earlier of May 31, 2024 or the effectiveness of the Registration Statement on Form S-1 to be filed pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (as defined below) with Lincoln Park (the “Lincoln Park Registration Statement”), with $0.3 million of such payment waivable if the Surviving Company voluntarily prepays $1.5 million to the third party prior to December 31, 2024. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Zapata will pay the full $1.8 million upon consummation of a financing transaction with proceeds of $15.0 million or more (not including sales under the Purchase Agreement or similar financing) during the Term.

 

  F.

In March 2024, Zapata entered into a placement agent agreement to retain an additional third party for the purpose of raising up to $10.0 million, for a term of 60 days from the execution of the placement agent agreement. Zapata agreed to pay a cash fee equal to 7.0% of the gross amount of cash proceeds (the “Financing Proceeds”) received by Zapata from investors introduced by the third party directly to Zapata. The cash fee is payable from Zapata within 7 business days following Zapata’s receipt of proceeds from any investors introduced by the third party. In addition, Zapata agreed to issue a number of shares of New Company Common Stock equal to 3.0% of the Financing Proceeds divided by $4.50 upon the Closing. In connection with the placement agent agreement, Zapata made a cash payment of $0.1 million and issued 11,666 shares of New Company Common Stock upon the Closing.

 

  G.

In connection with the Merger, we had incurred $4.0 million of deferred legal fees to be paid to our legal advisors upon consummation of the Merger, which were recorded as deferred legal fees in our historical audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023. On March 26, 2024, we entered into a fee letter for legal services rendered in connection with the Merger, pursuant to which the total fee was reduced to $3.7 million, of which $0.4 million was paid in cash upon the Closing of the Merger and the remaining balance will be paid in equal monthly installments of $0.3 million per month for each of the twelve months following the Closing of the Merger and the effective date of the Surviving Company’s Registration Statement (see Note 1.VI).

 

  H.

On February 16, 2021, we entered into a consulting agreement with an additional third party, pursuant to which the third party provided investor and media relations support in connection with the search for a potential business combination. As of the Closing of Merger, we incurred $0.2 million for services rendered under the consulting agreement. On March 25, 2024, we amended the consulting agreement, pursuant to which we agreed to pay a total of $0.2 million in equal monthly installments over a six-month term beginning on the earlier of (i) the sales of New Company Common Stock pursuant to the Equity Line of Credit Agreement (see Note 1.VI) or (ii) June 30, 2024.


VI.

Equity Line of Credit Agreement

On December 19, 2023, we and Zapata entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Lincoln Park, pursuant to which Lincoln Park has agreed to purchase from the Surviving Company, at the option of the Surviving Company, an aggregate of up to $75.0 million (the “Commitment”) of New Company Common Stock from time to time over a 36-month period following the Closing, subject to certain limitations contained in the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement including, but not limited to, the filing and effectiveness of the Lincoln Park Registration Statement. In accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the Surviving Company must pay Lincoln Park a commitment fee of $1.7 million (the “Commitment Fee”) as follows: (i) on the business day prior to the filing of the Lincoln Park Registration Statement, $0.6 million in shares of New Company Common Stock and (ii) the Surviving Company may elect to pay the remaining $1.1 million amount of the Commitment Fee in either cash or shares of New Company Common Stock, with any shares issuable on the business day prior to the filing of the Lincoln Park Registration Statement and any cash due within 90 days of the Closing Date.

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, we and Zapata also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Lincoln Park, pursuant to which the Surviving Company will file the Lincoln Park Registration Statement (including the Commitment Shares) with the SEC within 45 days following the Closing of the Merger.

 

VII.

Sponsor Founder Shares

In contemplation of the Business Combination Agreement, we, Zapata, the Sponsor, the Sponsor Co-Investor and certain directors entered into the Sponsor Support Agreement. The Sponsor, the Sponsor Co-Investor and directors own an aggregate of 5,750,000 shares of SPAC Class B Common Stock. Of the aggregate shares of SPAC Class B Common Stock outstanding, 1,005,000 shares of SPAC Class B Common Stock are not subject to any vesting or forfeiture provisions in accordance with the Sponsor Support Agreement. The remaining 4,745,000 Sponsor Shares (the Sponsor and the Sponsor Co-Investor holds 3,536,863 and 1,208,137 Sponsor Shares, respectively) are subject to the following vesting and forfeiture provisions:

 

  i.

In the event that the Closing Available Cash is an amount equal to $25.0 million or more, then all Sponsor Shares, or 4,745,000 shares, will be fully vested.

 

  ii.

In the event that the Closing Available Cash is an amount equal to $10.0 million or less, then 30% of the Sponsor Shares, or 1,423,500 shares, will be unvested and subject to forfeiture.

 

  iii.

In the event that the Closing Available Cash is more than $10.0 million but less than $25.0 million, then the number of Sponsor Shares that will be unvested and subject to forfeiture will be determined by straight line interpolation between zero and 30% of the number of Sponsor Shares.

All of the unvested Sponsor Founder Shares will become vested if, within three years of the Closing, the VWAP of New Company Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period, or if there is a change of control of the Surviving Company. If neither of these events occur within three years of the Closing, then the unvested Sponsor Founder Shares will be forfeited and shall be transferred by the Sponsor and the Sponsor Co-Investor to the Surviving Company, without any consideration for such transfer.

Upon the Closing of the Merger, the Closing Available Cash as defined by the Sponsor Support Agreement was $13.1 million, resulting in 1,129,630 shares that remain subject to vesting. The Sponsor Founder Shares that are subject to vesting and forfeiture have been accounted for as an equity transaction in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging as the arrangement is considered free-standing. The unvested Sponsor Founder Shares are indexed to the Surviving Company’s own stock and are therefore classified as equity in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet.


VIII.

Forward Purchase Agreement

On March 25, 2024, we and Zapata entered into a Confirmation of an OTC Equity Prepaid Forward Transaction (the “Forward Purchase Agreement”) with Sandia Investment Management LP, acting on behalf of certain funds (collectively, “Sandia”), pursuant to which Sandia purchased, from the open market, 1,000,000 shares of SPAC Class A Common Stock immediately preceding the Closing (the “Recycled Shares”) and the Surviving Company issued to Sandia 500,000 shares of New Company Common Stock at a purchase price of $10.99 per share (the “Additional Shares”), which represents the maximum number of shares subject to purchase under the Forward Purchase Agreement, subject to adjustment as described below (the “Maximum Number of Shares”). Zapata also issued Senior Secured Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $3.0 million to the parties to the Forward Purchase Agreement prior to the Closing of the Merger.

Pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement, at the Closing, the Surviving Company prepaid to Sandia (the “Prepayment Amount”), (i) with respect to the Recycled Shares, with proceeds from the Trust Account, a cash amount equal to the (x) product of the number Recycled Shares as noted in a pricing notice delivered by Sandia and (y) $10.99 per share and, (ii) with respect to the Additional Shares, a per share amount equal to $10.99 per share netted against the proceeds from the Additional Shares received from Sandia. In the case of the Recycled Shares, the Prepayment Amount was paid with proceeds from the Trust Account at the Closing of the Merger. The Prepayment Amount for Additional Shares was netted against the proceeds that Sandia was to pay for the purchase of such Additional Shares, with Sandia being able to reduce the purchase price for the Additional Shares by the Prepayment Amount.

To the extent Sandia does not early terminate shares purchased under the Forward Purchase Agreement, as described below, the parties will settle the then outstanding shares held by Sandia upon the Valuation Date, such date being two years from the Closing, subject to acceleration under certain circumstances, as described in the Forward Purchase Agreement. On the Cash Settlement Payment Date, which is the tenth business day following the last day of the valuation period commencing on the Valuation Date, as described in the Forward Purchase Agreement (the “Valuation Period”), Sandia will pay the Surviving Company a cash amount equal to (A) the number of shares subject to the Forward Purchase Agreement as of the Valuation Date less the number of unregistered shares, multiplied by (B) the volume-weighted average price over the Valuation Period (the “Settlement Amount”); provided, that if the amount of the Settlement Amount Adjustment (as defined below) payable by the Surviving Company to Sandia is less than the Settlement Amount, then the Settlement Amount Adjustment will be automatically netted from the Settlement Amount and any remaining amount paid in cash. The Surviving Company will pay to Sandia on the Cash Settlement Payment Date an amount (the “Settlement Amount Adjustment”) equal to (1) the Number of Shares as of the Valuation Date multiplied by $2.00 per share if the amount is to be paid in cash, or (2) if the Settlement Amount Adjustment exceeds the Settlement Amount, the Counterparty may at its election pay the Settlement Amount Adjustment to Sandia in shares of New Company Common Stock, in an amount equal to the product of the Number of Shares as of the Valuation Date multiplied by $2.25; provided that, in certain circumstances as described in the Forward Purchase Agreement, including if a Delisting Event (as defined in the Forward Purchase Agreement) occurs during the Valuation Period, such amount must be paid in cash.

In addition, during the term of the Forward Purchase Agreement, Sandia may elect to terminate the transaction in whole or in part by providing a written notice to the Surviving Company, which will specify the quantity by which the number of shares will be reduced (the “Terminated Shares”). The Surviving Company shall be entitled to an amount from Sandia, equal to the product of (x) the number of Terminated Shares and (y) the Reset Price, as defined hereafter, on the date of notice.

As of the Closing of the Merger, the reset price (the “Reset Price”) is $10.00 per share and will be subject to reset on a monthly basis (each a “Reset Date”), with the first such Reset Date occurring 180 days after the closing date of the Merger to be greater of (a) $4.50 and (b) the 30-day volume weighted average price of shares of New Company Common Stock immediately preceding such Reset Date. Except as described below, the Reset Price will be reduced immediately to any lower price at which the Counterparty closes any agreement to sell or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise disposes of or issues (or announces any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition of) any shares of New Company Common Stock or securities of the Surviving Company or any of its subsidiaries convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, shares of New Company Common Stock or other securities (a “Dilutive Offering and, such reset, a Dilutive Offering Reset”).

In the event of a Dilutive Offering Reset, the Maximum Number of Shares will be increased to an amount equal to the quotient of (i) 1,500,000 divided by (ii) the quotient of (a) the price of such Dilutive Offering divided by (b) $10.00. In such event, Sandia has the right to purchase more Additional Shares, up to the Maximum Number of Shares, for which the Surviving Company will be required to provide a cash prepayment to Sandia netted against the purchase price for such shares, and such Additional Shares will be subject to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement.


In addition, the Surviving Company reimbursed Sandia $0.1 million at Closing for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for costs incurred in connection with the transaction, and (b) $0.1 million in expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition of the Recycled Shares. The Surviving Company will also pay to Sandia a quarterly fee of $5.0 thousand payable at the Closing in consideration of certain legal and administrative obligations in connection with this transaction.

 

IX.

SPAC Convertible Notes – Related Party

Pursuant to a Deferred Payment Agreement dated as of March 25, 2024, the Surviving Company amended the terms of our Convertible Note – Related Party, pursuant to which $0.3 million of the accrued interest outstanding at the Closing of the Merger was paid from the funds available in the Trust Account at Closing. The aggregate principal balance of our Convertible Note—Related Party plus accrued interest through the Closing of the Merger of $2.5 million was deferred at Closing and is due in monthly installments (including interest accruing from the Closing of the Merger through the payment date) for twelve months thereafter beginning thirty days following the effectiveness of the Surviving Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 to be filed pursuant to the Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park (the “Registration Statement”). The Convertible Note – Related Party bears interest at a rate of 4.5% per annum.

 

2.

Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

The pro forma financial information was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of SEC Regulation S-X. The transaction accounting adjustments presented in the pro forma financial information are made to provide relevant information necessary for an understanding of the Surviving Company reflecting the accounting for the Merger.

Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the transaction accounting adjustments. The transaction accounting adjustments are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The transaction accounting adjustments, which are described in these notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the transaction accounting adjustments, and it is possible the difference may be material.

The pro forma financial information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings, or cost savings that may be associated with the Merger. Historically, one of our affiliates, Andretti Global, and Zapata entered into the Enterprise Solution Subscription Agreement, the Managed Services Agreement, and the Andretti Sponsorship Agreement, prior to the Merger. The Enterprise Solution Subscription Agreement and Andretti Sponsorship Agreement are coterminous and terminate on December 31, 2024. The Managed Services Agreement also terminates on December 31, 2024. Andretti Global agreed to pay Zapata $5.0 million through the duration of the Enterprise Solution Subscription Agreement. As of December 31, 2023, Zapata had an aggregate of $0.8 million in accounts receivable related to the Enterprise Solution Subscription Agreement and the Managed Services Agreement. For the year ended December 31, 2023, Zapata recorded an aggregate of $2.0 million in revenues associated with the Enterprise Solution Subscription Agreement and the Managed Services Agreement. The total commitment under the Andretti Sponsorship Agreement is $8.0 million and is due and payable over the period of February 2022 through July 2024. Through December 31, 2023, Zapata paid $3.5 million under the Andretti Sponsorship Agreement. As of December 31, 2023, Zapata had an aggregate of $1.5 million in accounts payable and $0.2 million in accrued and other current liabilities related to the Andretti Sponsorship Agreement. For the year ended December 31, 2023, Zapata recorded $2.8 million in sales and marketing expenses with respect to the Andretti Sponsorship Agreement. The pro forma financial information gives effect to the above related party transactions that go into effect upon the Closing of the Merger.


The following table summarizes the pro forma number of shares of New Company Common Stock outstanding following the consummation of the Merger, excluding the potential dilutive effect of the exercise or vesting of stock options or warrants and the unvested Sponsor Founder Shares.

The SPAC Public Warrants and SPAC Private Placement Warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the Merger and will expire five years after the completion of the Merger or earlier upon their redemption or liquidation. If we assume that all outstanding 11,500,000 SPAC Public Warrants and 13,550,000 SPAC Private Placement Warrants were exercisable and exercised following completion of the Merger, then the combined voting power of the SPAC and combined economic interest in the SPAC and Zapata will be as shown below:

See “Proposal No. 8 -The Equity Line of Credit Issuance Proposal” in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

 

3.

Accounting for the Merger

The Merger has been accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, although we have acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Zapata in the Merger, we are treated as the “acquired” company and Zapata is treated as the accounting acquirer for financial statement reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Merger has been treated as the equivalent of Zapata issuing stock for our net assets, accompanied by a recapitalization. Our net assets and Zapata’s net assets have been stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Subsequent to the completion of the Merger, the results of operations are those of Zapata.

Zapata has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:

 

   

Zapata’s existing stockholders have the greatest voting interest in the Surviving Company;

 

   

Zapata’s existing stockholders have the voting rights to control decisions regarding election and removal of a majority of the directors and officers of the Surviving Company;

 

   

Zapata comprises the ongoing operations of the Surviving Company; and

 

   

Zapata’s existing senior management is the senior management of the Surviving Company.

 

4.

New Company Common Stock Issued to Zapata Stockholders upon the Closing of the Merger

The New Company Common Stock issued at the Closing is determined based on the Per Share Common Stock Consideration of 0.9141, calculated as of the Closing of the Merger, as follows:

 

Zapata Common Stock outstanding prior to the Closing of the Merger

     5,136,453  

Zapata Preferred Stock outstanding prior to the Closing of the Merger

     14,222,580
