NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Risks and Uncertainties

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Registration and Shareholder Rights

Pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement entered into on March 9, 2021, the holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans) will be entitled to registration rights. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination. However, the registration and shareholder rights agreement provide that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lockup period. The registration rights agreement does not contain liquidating damages or other cash settlement provisions resulting from delays in registering the Company’s securities. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $12,075,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Agreement and Plan of Merger

On October 28, 2021, the Company (here in after referred to as Tailwind Two in this Note 6) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Tailwind Two, Titan Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), and Terran Orbital Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Terran Orbital”).

The Business Combination

The Merger Agreement provides for, among other things, the following transactions on the closing date (collectively, the Terran Orbital Business Combination”): (i) Tailwind Two will become a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”) and, in connection with the Domestication, (A) each outstanding Class A ordinary share of Tailwind Two will become one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Tailwind Two (the “New Terran Orbital Common Stock”), (B) each outstanding Class B ordinary share of Tailwind Two will become one share of New Terran Orbital Common Stock, and (C) each outstanding warrant of Tailwind Two will become one warrant to purchase one share of New Terran Orbital Common Stock (D) the certificate of incorporation of Tailwind Two and the bylaws of Tailwind Two will be amended and restated; and (ii) following the Domestication, Merger Sub will merge with and into Terran Orbital, with Terran Orbital as the surviving company in the merger and, after giving effect to such merger, continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tailwind Two (the “Merger”) and Tailwind Two’s name will be changed to Terran Orbital Corporation.

Merger Consideration

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, issued and outstanding (i) shares of Terran Orbital (including any warrants of Terran Orbital which are exercised immediately prior to the Merger for shares of Terran Orbital in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement) will be converted into New Terran Orbital Common Stock, (ii) options to purchase shares of Terran Orbital (whether vested or unvested) will be cancelled in exchange for comparable options to purchase New Terran Orbital Common Stock, pursuant to the new incentive equity plan, and (iii) outstanding and unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units of Terran Orbital (including Employee Retention Share RSUs and Employee Retention Share Restricted Stock) will be cancelled in exchange for comparable restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards to be settled in New Terran Orbital Common Stock pursuant to the new incentive equity plan.

PIPE Financing (Private Placement)

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Tailwind Two entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (the “PIPE Investors”) and an affiliate of Mr. Daniel Staton, a director and shareholder of Terran Orbital (the “Insider PIPE Investor”, and together with the PIPE Investors, the “Investors”). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the Investors agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and Tailwind Two agreed to issue and sell to such Investors, immediately prior to the closing of the Terran Orbital Business Combination, an aggregate of 5,080,409 shares of New Terran Orbital Common Stock for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $50.8 million (the “PIPE Financing”). The closing of the PIPE Financing is contingent upon, among other things, the substantially concurrent consummation of the Terran Orbital Business Combination. The Subscription Agreements provide that Tailwind Two will grant the investors in the PIPE Financing certain customary registration rights. Tailwind Two will, within 45 days after the consummation of the Terran Orbital Business Combination, file with the SEC a registration statement registering the resale of such shares of New Terran Orbital Common Stock and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof.

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the parties thereto and the closing is subject to certain conditions as further described in the Merger Agreement.
