Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
On March 26, 2024, the Issuer and ElectraMeccanica Vehicles Corp., a corporation previously existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (“ElectraMeccanica”), completed the previously announced transaction pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, dated as of January 11, 2024 (the “Original Arrangement Agreement”), by and between the Issuer and ElectraMeccanica, as amended by the Amendment Agreement, dated January 31, 2024 (the “Amendment Agreement” and, together with the Original Arrangement Agreement, the “Arrangement Agreement”), by and between the Issuer and ElectraMeccanica. Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, the Issuer acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of ElectraMeccanica (the “ElectraMeccanica Shares”) pursuant to a plan of arrangement (the “Plan of Arrangement”) under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “Arrangement”).
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement, on March 26, 2024, each ElectraMeccanica Share outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Arrangement was converted automatically into the right to receive 0.0143739 of a share of Common Stock. Upon closing of the Arrangement, the number of outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock increased by 1,766,388 shares and, accordingly, each Reporting Person’s percentage beneficial ownership decreased proportionately.
The foregoing summary description of the completion of the Arrangement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of (i) the Original Arrangement Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC on January 12, 2024, and is incorporated by reference into this Item 4, and (ii) the Amendment Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC on February 1, 2024, and is incorporated by reference into this Item 4.
On August 10, 2024, as previously disclosed on a Form 4 filed by Dakota Semler, the Issuer granted to Dakota Semler an award of 262,944 Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) under the Issuer’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. Approximately 33% of such RSU shall vest on April 10, 2025 (the "Initial Vesting Date"), and the remainder of the RSU Award shall vest in twenty-four (24) approximately equal installments on the 10th day of each calendar month thereafter; provided that Dakota Semler remains in continuous service to the Issuer at each such time.
Dakota Semler serves as a member of the board of directors of the Issuer and, in such capacity, may have influence over the corporate activities of the Issuer, including activities which may relate to items described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
Other than as described above, none of the Reporting Persons have any present plan or proposal that relates to or would result in any of the actions described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons reserve the right in the future, individually or with others, to formulate any such plans or proposals, and to take any actions with respect to their holdings in the Issuer, including any or all of the actions described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
The Reporting Persons may in the future acquire additional shares of Common Stock or dispose of some or all of the shares of Common Stock held by them in open-market transactions or privately negotiated transactions, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable, subject to applicable law.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a) – (b) The information relating to the beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock by each of the Reporting Persons set forth in Rows 7 through 11 and 13 of the cover pages hereto is incorporated herein by reference.
Collectively, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 1,949,033 shares of Common Stock, representing beneficial ownership of approximately 24.3% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
(c) The information set forth under Item 4 above is incorporated herein by reference.
(e) Each of Dakota Semler and GenFleet beneficially owns less than 5% of the Issuer’s outstanding shares of Common Stock. As a result, this Amendment No. 2 represents an exit filing for each of Dakota Semler and GenFleet.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
The information set forth under Item 4 above is incorporated herein by reference.
Pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Reporting Persons are parties to an agreement with respect to the joint filing of this Schedule 13D and any amendments hereto.
