Cellebrite DI Ltd. (Nasdaq: CLBT) (“
Cellebrite,”
the “
Company” or “
we”), a global
leader in premier Digital Investigative solutions for the public
and private sectors, announced today that it will redeem all of its
warrants (the “
Warrants”) to purchase ordinary
shares of the Company (the “
Ordinary Shares”) that
remain outstanding at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on September 16,
2024 (the “
Redemption Date”) for a redemption
price of $0.10 per Warrant.
The Warrants include (i) the outstanding public
warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares (the “Public
Warrants”) issued pursuant to that certain Assignment,
Assumption and Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement, dated on
August 30, 2021 (the “Warrant Agreement”), between
the Company and Equiniti Trust Company, LLC (as successor to
American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC)
(“Equiniti”), which were originally issued by TWC
Tech Holdings II Corp. (“TWC”) in connection with
its initial public offering and subsequently assumed by the Company
and converted into warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares of the
Company as a result of the Company’s business combination with TWC
which was consummated on August 30, 2021 (the “Business
Combination”), for a redemption price of $0.10 per Public
Warrant (the “Redemption Price”) and (ii) the
outstanding private placement warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares
(the “Private Placement Warrants” and, together
with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”)
originally issued by TWC in a private placement transaction under
the Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreement, dated as of
September 10, 2020, by and between TWC and TWC Tech Holdings II,
LLC, and converted into warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares of the
Company as a result of the Business Combination, on the same terms
as the outstanding Public Warrants.
Equiniti serves as warrant agent (the
“Warrant Agent”) with respect to the Warrants.
The Warrant Agreement provides that the Company
is entitled to redeem all of the outstanding Public Warrants at the
Redemption Price of $0.10 per Public Warrant where: (i) the last
reported sales price of the Ordinary Shares for any twenty trading
days within the thirty trading-day period ending on the third
trading day prior to the date on which notice of the redemption is
given (the “Reference Value”) equals or exceeds
$10.00 per share, and (ii) if the Reference Value is less than
$18.00 per share, the Private Placement Warrants are also
concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the
outstanding Public Warrants. The Reference Value currently equals
or exceeds $10.00 per share and is less than $18.00 per share, such
that the Company is entitled to call the Warrants for redemption.
At the direction of the Company, the Warrant Agent has delivered
today a notice of redemption (the “Notice of
Redemption”) to each of the registered holders of the
outstanding Warrants.
At any time after the Notice of Redemption has
been delivered and prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the
Redemption Date, Warrantholders may elect to: (1) exercise their
Warrants for cash, at an exercise price of $11.50 per Ordinary
Share, or (2) surrender their Warrants on a “cashless basis” (a
“Make-Whole Exercise”), in which case the
surrendering holder will receive a number of Ordinary Shares
determined in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement
and based on the Redemption Date and the volume-weighted average
price (the “Redemption Fair Market Value”) of the
Ordinary Shares during the ten trading days immediately following
the date on which the Notice of Redemption is sent to registered
holders of Warrants.
The Company has obtained a ruling (the
“Ruling”) from the Israeli Tax Authorities, as
further described in the Notice of Redemption, that exempts the
Company from the potential obligation to withhold tax upon the
issuance of Ordinary Shares to holders (“Qualified
Holders”) of the Public Warrants who effect a Make-Whole
Exercise and meet the requirements of the Ruling. Warrantholders
who exercise for cash and Warrantholders who are not Qualified
Holders will be subject to Israeli withholding tax requirements,
unless certain requirements described in the Notice of Redemption
are satisfied.
The Company expects to provide holders notice of
the Redemption Fair Market Value on August 30, 2024. In no event
will the number of Ordinary Shares issued in connection with a
surrender of Warrants on a cashless basis, as described above,
exceed 0.361 Ordinary Shares per Warrant.
Any Warrants that remain unexercised at
5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date will be void
and no longer exercisable, and the holders of those Warrants will
be entitled to receive only the Redemption Price, net of any
applicable tax withholding, or as otherwise described in the Notice
of Redemption.
Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrants and
issuable pursuant to a Make-Whole Exercise will be issued in
reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section
3(a)(9) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”). Ordinary Shares underlying the
Warrants and issued pursuant to an exercise for cash have been
registered by the Company under the Securities Act and are covered
by a registration statement on Form F-3 filed with, and declared
effective by, the Securities and Exchange Commission (Registration
No. 333-259826). The SEC maintains an Internet website that
contains a copy of the prospectus included in the registration
statement at www.sec.gov. Alternatively, you can obtain a copy of
this prospectus on the Investor Relations section of the Company’s
website, at https://investors.cellebrite.com.
The Ordinary Shares and the Public Warrants are
listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market
(“Nasdaq”) under the symbols “CLBT” and “CLBTW,”
respectively. We understand from Nasdaq that September 13, 2024,
the trading day prior to the Redemption Date, will be the last day
on which the Public Warrants will be traded on Nasdaq.
None of the Company, its board of directors or
employees has made or is making any representation or
recommendation to any holder of the Warrants as to whether to
exercise or refrain from exercising any Warrants.
This press release does not and will not
constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to
buy, the Warrants, the Ordinary Shares, or any other securities,
nor will there be any sale of the Warrants, the Ordinary Shares or
any such other securities, in any state or other jurisdiction in
which such offer, sale or solicitation would be unlawful.
Additional information regarding this
announcement may be found in a Form 6-K that will be filed with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Any questions you may have about redemption and
exercising your Warrants may be directed to the Company’s
Information Agent at.
