EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) amends the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed by Mondee Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), on September 16, 2022, (the “Original Schedule TO”), as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to Schedule TO filed with the SEC on October 7, 2022 (“Amendment No. 1,” and together with the Original Schedule TO, the “Schedule TO”) relating to the tender offer by the Company (the “Offer”) to purchase for cash up to 12,397,485 of its outstanding warrants to purchase Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Class A common stock”), consisting of (a) 12,059,985 publicly traded warrants to purchase shares of our Class A common stock, which were publicly issued and sold as part of units of the Company, formerly known as ITHAX Acquisition Corp. (“ITHAX”), in connection with the initial public offering of ITHAX’s securities on February 1, 2021 (the “ITHAX IPO”), which entitle such warrant holders to purchase one share of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50, subject to adjustments (the “Public Warrants”), and (b) 337,500 warrants to purchase the Class A common stock which were privately issued and sold in connection with the ITHAX IPO based on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), which entitle such warrant holders to purchase one share of the Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50, subject to adjustments (the “Private Placement Warrants” and together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”), at a price of $0.65 per Warrant, without interest (the “Offer Purchase Price”), on the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation and the Letter of Transmittal and Consent filed by the Company as exhibits to the Schedule TO. The Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation and the Amended and Restated Letter of Transmittal and Consent collectively constitute the “Offer”.

 

Concurrently with the Offer, the Company also solicited consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) from holders of its outstanding Warrants to amend (the “Warrant Amendment”) the Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement, dated as of July 18, 2022, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Warrant Agreement”), which governs all of the warrants, to permit the Company to redeem each outstanding warrant for $0.01 in cash, without interest (the “Redemption Price”), which Redemption Price is 98% less than the Offer Purchase Price.

 

This Amendment No. 2 is being filed to (i) update Item 11 of the Schedule TO to report the results of the Offer and (ii) update Item 12 of the Schedule TO to include a press release issued by the Company on October 21, 2022, announcing the results of the Offer and Consent Solicitation and the Warrant Amendment.

 

 

Item 11. Additional Information.

 

Item 11 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraph:

 

“The Offer expired one minute after 11:59 PM, Eastern Time, at the end of the day on October 17, 2022 (the “Expiration Date”), in accordance with its terms. Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the depositary for the Offer, has indicated that (i) 10,741,390 outstanding Public Warrants, or approximately 89.1% of the outstanding Public Warrants were validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer, and (ii) none of the outstanding Private Placement Warrants had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer. The Company expects to accept all validly tendered Warrants for purchase and settlement on or before Friday, October 21, 2022. Pursuant to the terms of the Offer, the Company expects to pay an aggregate of approximately $6.98 million in cash to purchase the validly tendered Warrants.

 

In addition, pursuant to the Consent Solicitation, the Company received the approval of (i) approximately 89.1% of the outstanding Public Warrants to the Warrant Amendment, which exceeds the majority of the Public Warrants required to effect the Warrant Amendment with respect to the Public Warrants and (ii) none of the outstanding Private Placement Warrants, which is less than the majority of the outstanding Private Placement Warrants required to effect the Warrant Amendment with respect to the Private Placement Warrants. On October 18, 2022, the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company entered into the Warrant Amendment with respect to the Public Warrants and announced that it will exercise its right to redeem all remaining outstanding Public Warrants for cash in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Amendment, and has fixed October 27, 2022 as the redemption date.

 

On October 21, 2022, the Company issued a press release announcing the results of the Offer and Consent Solicitation as set forth above and also the Company’s entry into the Warrant Amendment. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit (a)(5)(iv) to the Schedule TO and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Only those items amended are reported in this Amendment No. 2. Except as amended hereby to the extent specifically provided herein, the information contained in the Schedule TO, the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation, the Letter of Transmittal and Consent and the other exhibits to the Schedule TO remains unchanged and are hereby expressly incorporated into this Amendment No. 2 by reference. This Amendment No. 2 should be read with the Schedule TO.
