Item 1 Comment:
Explanatory Note.
The information set forth in response to each separate Item below shall be deemed to be a response to all Items where such information is relevant. The Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on September 2, 2021, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on October 5, 2022, Amendment No. 2 filed on November 10, 2022, Amendment No. 3 filed on May 23, 2023, Amendment No. 4 filed on September 1, 2023, Amendment No. 5 filed on January 22, 2025 and Amendment No. 6 filed on June 5, 2025 (collectively, the "Existing 13D"), is hereby amended in this Amendment No. 7 as set forth below (the "Amendment"). Except as set forth herein, the Existing 13D is unmodified and remains in full force and effect. Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Existing 13D.
The Amendment is being filed to report entry by an affiliate of the Reporting Persons into an amendment to an agreement, pursuant to which the Issuer will acquire Edge Autonomy Intermediate Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Edge Autonomy Holdings," and, together with its subsidiaries, "Edge Autonomy"), as more fully described in Item 4 of this Amendment. | ||
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction | |
On June 8, 2025, the Issuer entered into Amendment No. 2 (the "Amendment") to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated January 20, 2025, as amended February 3, 2025 (as amended, the "Amended Merger Agreement") with Edge Autonomy Ultimate Holdings, LP, a Delaware limited partnership ("Seller"), Edge Autonomy Holdings, Echelon Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer, and Echelon Purchaser, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer, pursuant to which the Issuer will, via the mergers set forth in the Amended Merger Agreement, acquire Edge Autonomy, a leading provider of field-proven uncrewed airborne system technology. As disclosed in the current report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuer on June 9, 2025, pursuant to the Amended Merger Agreement, an affiliate of the Reporting Persons, Seller, will acquire shares of Common Stock at the closing of the transactions (the "Closing") contemplated by the Amended Merger Agreement. | ||
Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer | |
On June 8, 2025, the Issuer entered into a registration rights coordination agreement (the "RRCA") with Bain, AE Fund II LP and AE Solutions I in order to resolve certain issues arising under the Registration Rights Agreement originally entered into by the parties on October 28, 2022 in connection with the sale of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The RRCA provides that Bain, AE II LP and AE Solutions I and their respective affiliates will each enter into 90-day lock-up agreements, subject to certain limitations, in the event that the Issuer effects any equity offering within 90 days after the Closing. In addition, the Issuer agreed to file a resale registration statement relating to the sale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statment to be declared effective not later than 90 days after the Closing. The Voting Agreement entered into by AE Industrial Partners, LP and its affiliates with the Issuer in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement remains in full force and effect following the execution of the Amended Merger Agreement and the other transactions described herein. | ||
