InterPrivate II Acquisition Corp.
PROPOSED BUSINESS COMBINATION: Getaround
ENTERPRISE VALUE: $900 million
ANTICIPATED SYMBOL: GETR
InterPrivate II Acquisition Corp. proposes to combine with Getaround a leading global and digital carsharing marketplace.
Getaround’s mission is to change the paradigm of car ownership fundamentally. Getaround’s technology platform addresses the severe underutilization of vehicles throughout the world – 95% of a vehicle’s life is idle, resting in a parking space, rather than producing income for its owner and mobility solutions for the consumer. Through its proprietary technology, Getaround allows for an entirely digital and contactless carsharing experience, unlike its competitors. Getaround Connect® enables consumers to reserve instantly and retrieve within minutes a nearby vehicle, without the need to fill out paperwork, wait in line or physically exchange keys. Additionally, the digital ease of Getaround Connect empowers hosts to build profitable and sustainable businesses by allowing them to easily scale and manage large fleets of vehicles across wide market regions.
SUBSEQUENT EVENT – 12/1/22 – LINK
- InterPrivate II and Getaround have agreed to restructure the Bonus Share arrangement as applied to Public Stockholders such that an aggregate of 9.0 million Bonus Shares will be allocated to non-redeeming Public Stockholders regardless of the level of redemptions at Closing.
- Accordingly, the aggregate number of Bonus Shares apportioned to non-redeeming Public Stockholders will be fixed at 9.0 million shares and will not vary based on the redemption level.
- As revised, the number of Bonus Shares non-redeeming Public Stockholders will be entitled to receive for each outstanding share of Class A Stock held at the Closing has been increased from approximately 0.2867934 Bonus Shares to approximately 0.3478261 Bonus Shares in the no redemption scenario and from approximately 1.3063387 Bonus Shares to approximately 18.1013677 Bonus Shares in the contractual maximum redemption scenario, which assumes that 25,496,400 shares of Class A Stock are redeemed, which per share amount would significantly decrease after giving effect to the maximum exercise of any non-redemption agreements.
- In addition, the number of Bonus Shares apportioned to the Initial Stockholders, comprised of the Sponsor, EarlyBirdCapital’s designees and the current and former independent directors of InterPrivate II, will continue to be capped at the amount described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, which is the number of Bonus Shares they would have received in a no redemption scenario.
- The mechanism for allocating the Bonus Shares or other shares of Class A Stock of InterPrivate II to the Initial Stockholders is expected to be through an amendment to the number of Escrow Shares and/or through one or more agreements under which the Sponsor would forfeit all or a portion of the Bonus Shares to which it would otherwise be entitled to receive in exchange for an entitlement to an equivalent number of shares of InterPrivate II or securities of Getaround that would convert automatically into shares of Class A Stock of InterPrivate II at Closing.
- In no event will the manner of participation by the Initial Stockholders in the Bonus Shares reduce the 9.0 million Bonus Shares allocated to non-redeeming Public Stockholders or change the aggregate number of shares issuable by InterPrivate II in connection with the Business Combination.
