Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Business Combination Agreement
On June 21, 2021, Thimble Point Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (THMA), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the Business Combination Agreement) with Oz Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of THMA (Merger Sub), and Pear Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Pear), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Pear, with Pear surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of THMA (the Merger).
Merger Consideration
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the Effective Time):
(i) | Each share of Pears common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the Pear Common Shares), issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding shares owned by Pear as treasury stock or dissenting shares) will be cancelled and converted into (x) the right to receive the Per Share Upfront Consideration (as defined below) and (y) the contingent right to receive Earn Out Shares described under Earn Out Consideration below (with respect to each Pear Common Share, collectively, the Per Share Consideration and with respect to all Pear Common Shares and Pear Preferred Shares (as defined below), in the aggregate, the Merger Consideration). The Per Share Upfront Consideration is equal to such number of THMAs Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the THMA Class A Shares) equal to (i) $1,200,000,000 divided by $10.00 divided by (ii) the total number of Pear Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, expressed on an as-exercised and as-converted to Pear Common Shares basis (including any Pear Common Shares underlying Pear Vested In-the-Money Options (on a net exercise basis) or Pear Preferred Shares) (the Pear Outstanding Shares). |
(ii) | Each share of Pears preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the Pear Preferred Shares), issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive Per Share Consideration in respect of such number of Pear Common Shares as set forth on the Consideration Schedule (as defined below). |
(iii) | Each Pear Option that is unexercised and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and that has a per share exercise price less than the Per Share Upfront Consideration multiplied by $10.00 (a Pear In-the-Money Option) will be cancelled in exchange for an option to purchase a number of THMA Class A Shares as set forth on the Consideration Schedule at an exercise price as set forth on such Consideration Schedule. |
(iv) | Each warrant to purchase Pear Common Shares (Pear Warrant) will be converted into a warrant to acquire a number of THMA Class A Shares in an amount and at an exercise price and subject to such terms and conditions, in each case, as set forth on the Consideration Schedule. Subject to certain exceptions, such terms and conditions will be the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the Pear Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time. |
The Consideration Schedule sets forth (a) the portion of the Merger Consideration to which a holder of Pear Common Shares or Pear Preferred Shares, as applicable, would be entitled to receive on a proportionate, as-converted basis under Pears certificate of incorporation and bylaws, each as amended or supplemented as of the Effective Time, and (b) with respect to the conversion of Pear In-the-Money Options to options to purchase THMA Class A Shares, such equitable adjustments to the number of shares and the exercise price to reflect the Merger and the price per THMA Class A Share.
Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, THMA is required to cause the THMA Class A Shares to be issued in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the Transactions) to be listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market (Nasdaq) prior to the closing of the Merger (the Closing and the date on which the Closing occurs, the Closing Date).
Earn Out Consideration
Subject to certain exceptions, during the period between the date that is 90 days following the Closing and the fifth anniversary of the Closing (the Earn Out Period), THMA will issue to eligible Pear stockholders up to 12,395,625 additional THMA Class A Shares in the aggregate (the Earn Out Shares) in three equal tranches of 4,131,875 Earn Out Shares, respectively, upon THMA achieving $12.50, $15.00 or $17.50, respectively, as its volume weighted average price per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 consecutive trading day period (as adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combination, exchange of shares or the like).

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements, estimates, targets and projections in this Current Report on Form 8-K may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws with respect to the proposed transaction between THMA and Pear. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events involving, or future performance of, THMA or Pear. For example, projections of future EBITDA, statements regarding anticipated growth in the industry in which Pear operates and anticipated growth in demand for Pears products, projections of Pears future financial results and other metrics, the satisfaction of closing conditions to the Merger and the timing of the completion of the Merger are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as pro forma, may, should, could, might, plan, possible, project, strive, budget, forecast, expect, intend, will, estimate, anticipate, believe, predict, potential or continue, or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by THMA and its management, and Pear and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: (i) the risk that the Merger, including the contemporaneous private placement of equity securities (the PIPE investment), may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of THMAs securities; (ii) the risk that the Merger may not be completed by THMAs business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline if sought by THMA; (iii) the lack of a third party valuation in determining whether or not to pursue the Merger; (iv) the amount of the costs, fees, expenses and other charges related to the Merger and PIPE investment; (v) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against THMA, Pear, the combined company or others following the announcement of the Business Combination Agreement, the ancillary agreements contemplated thereby and the transactions contemplated thereby (including the Merger); (vi) the inability to complete the Merger due to the failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of THMA, or Pear to obtain financing to complete the Merger or to satisfy other conditions to closing; (vii) changes to the proposed structure of the Merger that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations or as a condition to obtaining regulatory approval of the Merger; (viii) the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards following the consummation of the Merger; (ix) the risk that the Merger disrupts current plans and operations of Pear or diverts managements attention from Pears ongoing business operations and potential difficulties in Pear employee retention as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Merger; (x) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Merger, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees; (xi) costs related to the Merger; (xii) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (xiii) the possibility that Pear or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, regulatory, and/or competitive factors; (xiv) Pears estimates of expenses and profitability; (xv) the evolution of the markets in which Pear competes; (xvi) the ability of Pear to implement its strategic initiatives and continue to innovate its existing products; (xvii) the ability of Pear to defend its intellectual property and satisfy regulatory requirements; (xviii) the ability of THMA to issue equity or equity-linked securities in connection with the Merger or in the future; (xix) the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Pears business; and (xx) other risks and uncertainties set forth in the section entitled Risk Factors and Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements in THMAs final prospectus dated February 1, 2021 relating to its initial public offering and other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the definitive proxy statement to be delivered to THMAs stockholders and related registration statement on Form S-4, including those set forth under Risk Factors therein, and other documents filed or to be filed with the SEC by THMA. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements.

Neither THMA nor Pear gives any assurance that either THMA or Pear will achieve its expectations.
