Additional Information
In connection with the proposed Business Combination, Nebula intends to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 that will include a proxy statement for the stockholders and warrantholders of Nebula that also constitutes a prospectus of ParentCo. Nebula urges investors, stockholders and other interested persons to read, when available, the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus as well as other documents filed with the SEC because these documents will contain important information about Nebula, the Company and the proposed Business Combination (including the proposed Warrant Amendment). After the registration statement is declared effective, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus to be included in the registration statement will be mailed to stockholders and warrantholders of Nebula as of a record date to be established for voting on the proposed Business Combination and proposed Warrant Amendment. Stockholders and warrantholders will also be able to obtain a copy of the proxy statement/prospectus, without charge by directing a request to: Nebula Acquisition Corporation, Four Embarcadero Center, Suite 2100, San Francisco, CA 94111. The preliminary and definitive proxy statement/prospectus to be included in the registration statement, once available, can also be obtained, without charge, at the SECs website (www.sec.gov).
Participants in the Solicitation
Nebula, the Company and their respective directors and executive officers may be considered participants in the solicitation of proxies with respect to the proposed Business Combination under the rules of the SEC. Information about the directors and executive officers of Nebula is set forth in Nebulas Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, which was filed with the SEC on February 14, 2020. Information regarding the persons who may, under the rules of the SEC, be deemed participants in the solicitation of the stockholders in connection with the potential Business Combination will be set forth in the proxy statement/prospectus when it is filed with the SEC. These documents can be obtained free of charge from the sources indicated above.
Non-Solicitation
This Current Report on Form 8-K is not a proxy statement or solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the potential Business Combination and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities of Nebula, ParentCo or the Company, nor shall there be any sale of any such securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a definitive prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act.
Forward-looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K includes certain statements that are not historical facts but are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as believe, may, will, estimate, continue, anticipate, intend, expect, should, would, plan, predict, potential, seem, seek, future, outlook, and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, Nebulas ability to consummate the potential Business Combination with the Company. These statements are based on various assumptions and on the current expectations of Nebulas and the Companys management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of Nebula and the Company. These forward looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including general economic, political and business conditions, the continuing spread of COVID-19 (also known as novel coronavirus or coronavirus disease 2019), applicable taxes, inflation, interest rates and
3
the regulatory environment, the outcome of judicial proceedings to which the Company is, or may become a party, the inability of the parties to enter into definitive agreements or consummate the proposed Business Combination; the risk that the approval of the stockholders of Nebula for the potential Business Combination is not obtained; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the potential Business Combination, including as a result of a delay in consummating the potential Business Combination or difficulty in integrating the businesses of Nebula and the Company; the amount of redemption requests made by Nebulas stockholders; those factors discussed in Nebulas Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 under the heading Risk Factors, and other documents of Nebula filed, or to be filed, with the SEC. If the risks materialize or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither Nebula nor the Company presently do not know or that Nebula and the Company currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect Nebulas and the Companys expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Nebula and the Company anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause their assessments to change. However, while Nebula and the Company may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Nebula and the Company specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Nebulas or the Companys assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.

Section 1. Amendments the Agreement.
(A). | Section 2.03 of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following (and corresponding changes to the defined terms and section references set forth in Section 10.03(b) of the Agreement shall be deemed to be made): |
SECTION 2.03 Contingency Consideration.
(a) Following the Closing, in addition to the consideration to be received pursuant to Section 1.01(c) and 2.02 and as part of the overall Aggregate Consideration, the Blocker Holder and the Company Unitholders shall be issued Fifteen Million (15,000,000) ParentCo Common Shares, in the aggregate (the Contingency Consideration), if, at any time prior to or as of the second anniversary of the Closing, the VWAP is greater than or equal to Thirteen Dollars ($13.00) over any twenty (20) trading days within any thirty (30) trading day period (the Share Target).
(b) If the Share Target set forth in Section 2.03(a) shall have been achieved, within five (5) Business Days following the achievement of the Share Target, ParentCo shall issue the Contingency Consideration to the Blocker Holder and each Company Unitholder as specified on the Payment Spreadsheet.
(c) If a Change of Control of the ParentCo occurs prior to the second anniversary of the Closing and the Contingency Consideration that is issuable pursuant to Section 2.03(a) remains unissued as of immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control, the Contingency Consideration shall immediately vest and the Company Unitholders and the Blocker Holder shall be entitled to receive the Contingency Consideration prior to the consummation of such Change of Control (payable to the Company Unitholders and the Blocker Holder as specified on the Payment Spreadsheet). For the purposes of this Agreement, a Change of Control shall have been deemed to occur with respect to ParentCo upon:
(i) the sale, lease, license, distribution, dividend or transfer, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, of fifty percent (50%) or more of the assets of ParentCo, as applicable, and its subsidiaries taken as a whole;
(ii) a merger, consolidation or other business combination of ParentCo (or any subsidiary or subsidiaries that alone or together represent more than fifty percent (50%) of the consolidated business of ParentCo at that time) or any successor or other entity holding fifty percent (50%) or more all of the assets of ParentCo and its subsidiaries that results in the stockholders of ParentCo (or such subsidiary or subsidiaries) or any successor or other entity holding fifty percent (50%) or more of the assets of ParentCo and its subsidiaries or the surviving entity thereof, as applicable, immediately before the consummation of such transaction or series of related transactions holding, directly or indirectly, less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of ParentCo (or such subsidiary or subsidiaries) or any successor, other entity or surviving entity thereof, as applicable, immediately following the consummation of such transaction or series of related transactions; or
(iii) any person or group (within the meaning of Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act as in effect on the Closing Date) shall obtain beneficial ownership (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act) of the voting stock of ParentCo representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the capital stock of ParentCo entitled to vote for the election of directors of ParentCo.
(d) The Contingency Consideration and the Share Target shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into ParentCo Common Shares), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to ParentCo Common Shares, occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the time the Contingency Consideration is delivered to the Blocker Holder and Company Unitholders, if any.

Section 7.07 of the Agreement provides that, in connection with the Transactions, NAC shall commence the Tender Offer with respect to the publicly held NAC Warrants, including filing with the SEC the Schedule TO, Schedule 14D-9 and other Offer Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties to the Agreement have decided that, rather than commencing the Tender Offer, NAC shall instead seek to amend the NAC Warrant Instrument pursuant to the proposed amendment to the NAC Warrant Instrument attached hereto as Exhibit A (the Warrant Amendment). To that end, the parties have agreed that, rather than commencing the Tender Offer and filing the Offer Documents, NAC shall call a special meeting of the holders of public NAC Warrants (and include in the notice of such meeting in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus) pursuant to which NAC shall seek the consent of the holders of the public NAC Warrants to the Warrant Amendment. The parties hereby waive NACs obligation to perform NACs obligations under Sections 2.05 and Section 7.07 of the Agreement.

This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto, and nothing in this Amendment, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Amendment.
Section 4. Entire Agreement. This Amendment constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except as amended by this Amendment, the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
Section 5. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or portable document format (pdf) transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
