November 16, 2022
To Brokers, Dealers, Commercial Banks,
Trust Companies and Other Nominees:
Enclosed are the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange dated November 16, 2022 (the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange), and the related Letter of Transmittal and Consent (the Letter of Transmittal and Consent), which together set forth the offer of Spire Global, Inc. (the Company), a Delaware corporation, to each holder of its warrants to purchase one share of our Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the Class A Common Stock) for a purchase price of $11.50 (the Warrants) to receive 0.2 shares of Class A Common Stock in exchange for each Warrant tendered by the holder and exchanged pursuant to the offer (the Offer). The Offer is made solely upon the terms and conditions in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange and in the Letter of Transmittal and Consent. The Offer will be open until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 14, 2022, or such later time and date to which the Company may extend. The period during which the Offer is open, giving effect to any withdrawal or extension, is referred to as the Offer Period. The date and time at which the Offer Period ends is referred to as the Expiration Date. Defined terms used but not defined in this letter shall have the meanings given to them in the accompanying Prospectus/Offer to Exchange.
Each Warrant holder whose Warrants are exchanged pursuant to the Offer will receive 0.2 shares of Class A Common Stock for each Warrant tendered by such holder and exchanged. Any Warrant holder that participates in the Offer may tender less than all of its Warrants for exchange.
Concurrently with the Offer, we are also soliciting consents (the Consent Solicitation) from holders of the Public Warrants to amend (the Warrant Amendment) the Warrant Agreement, dated as of September 9, 2020, by and between us and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (the Warrant Agreement) that governs all of the Warrants to permit the Company to require that each outstanding Warrant be exchanged into 0.18 shares of Class A Common Stock, which is a ratio 10% less than the ratio applicable to the Offer.
No fractional shares of Class A Common Stock will be issued pursuant to the Offer. In lieu of issuing fractional shares, any holder of Warrants who would otherwise have been entitled to receive fractional shares pursuant to the Offer will, after aggregating all such fractional shares of such holder, be paid cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional part of a share multiplied by the last sale price of the Class A Common Stock on the NYSE on the last trading day of the Offer Period. Our obligation to complete the offer is not conditioned on the receipt of a minimum number of tendered warrants.
Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the consent of holders of at least 65% of the outstanding Public Warrants is required to approve the Warrant Amendment. Therefore, one of the conditions to the adoption of the Warrant Amendment is the receipt of the consent of holders of at least 65% of the then outstanding Public Warrants. Holders may not consent to the Warrant Amendment without tendering their Warrants in the Offer and holders may not tender their Warrants without consenting to the Warrant Amendment. The consent to the Warrant Amendment is a part of the Letter of Transmittal and Consent relating to the Warrants, and therefore by tendering warrants for exchange, holders will deliver their consent. Holders may revoke their consent at any time prior to the Expiration Date by withdrawing the Warrants they have tendered.
If at least 65% of the holders of the outstanding Public Warrants do not provide consent to the Warrant Amendment, Warrants not exchanged for Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Offer will remain outstanding subject to their current terms, including any such terms permitting the Company to redeem such Warrants prior to their expiration. The Company reserves the right to redeem any of the Warrants, as applicable, pursuant to their current terms at any time.
THE OFFER AND CONSENT SOLICITATION IS NOT MADE TO THOSE HOLDERS WHO RESIDE IN STATES OR OTHER JURISDICTIONS WHERE AN OFFER, SOLICITATION OR SALE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL. WE ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY U.S. STATE WHERE THE MAKING OF THE OFFER AND THE CONSENT SOLICITATION IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW. IF WE BECOME AWARE OF ANY U.S. STATE WHERE THE MAKING OF THE OFFER AND THE CONSENT SOLICITATION OR THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE WARRANTS PURSUANT TO THE OFFER IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW, WE WILL MAKE A GOOD FAITH EFFORT TO COMPLY WITH THE APPLICABLE LAW. IF, AFTER SUCH GOOD FAITH EFFORT, WE CANNOT COMPLY WITH THE APPLICABLE LAW, THE OFFER AND THE CONSENT SOLICITATION WILL NOT BE MADE TO (NOR WILL TENDERS BE ACCEPTED FROM OR ON BEHALF OF) WARRANT HOLDERS WHO RESIDE IN STATES OR OTHER JURISDICTIONS WHERE AN OFFER, SOLICITATION OR SALE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL.
