On

and related matters under Items 1.01, 2.01, 3.02, 4.01, 5.01, 5.02, 5.06 and 9.01 of Form 8-K. Due to the large number of events
to be reported under the specified items of Form 8-K, this Amendment No. 1 to Form 8-K (this “Amendment No. 1”)
is being filed to amend the Original Report to include additional matters related to the Business Combination under Items 3.03,
5.03. 5.05 and 8.01 of Form 8-K.
Capitalized
terms used herein by not defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Original Report.
|
Item
3.03.
|
Material
Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
|
The
information set forth in Item 5.03 of this Amendment No. 1 is incorporated herein by reference.
|
Item
5.03.
|
Amendments
to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
|
At
the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders voted and approved, among other things, Proposal No. 2 – Number of
Authorized Shares Proposal (“Proposal No. 2”), Proposal No. 3 and Proposal No. 4 – Super Majority Voting
(“Proposal No. 3 & 4”) and Proposal No. 5 – Approval and Adoption of the Second Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (“Proposal No. 5”), each of which is described in greater detail
in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
The
Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Certificate of Incorporation”),
which became effective upon filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on December 21, 2020 includes the amendments
proposed by Proposal No. 2, Proposal No. 3 & 4 and Proposal No. 5. On December 21, 2020, the Board approved and adopted the
Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), which became effective as of the Effective Time.
Copies
of the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and Exhibit 3.2, respectively, and are incorporated
herein by reference.
The
description of the Certificate of Incorporation and the general effect of the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws upon
the rights of holders of the Company’s capital stock are included in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus
under the sections entitled “Description of Hennessy Capital’s Securities” and “Comparison
of Stockholders’ Rights” beginning on page 255 and page 266 of the Proxy Statement, respectively, which are incorporated
herein by reference.
|
Item
5.05.
|
Amendments
to the Registrant’s Code of Ethics, or Waiver of a Provision of the Code of Ethics.
|
In
connection with the Business Combination, on December 21, 2020, the Board approved and adopted a new Code of Conduct applicable
to all employees, officers and directors of the Company. A copy of the Code of Ethics can be found in the Investors section of
the Company’s website at www.canoo.com.
In
December 2020, Legacy Canoo repurchased 530,374 Legacy Canoo Ordinary Shares and 10,000 Legacy Canoo RSUs were returned to the
Canoo Holdings Ltd. 2018 Share Option and Grant Plan.
On
December 18, 2020, Legacy Canoo granted 1,072,562 Legacy Canoo RSUs and 809,908 performance stock units that had previously been
authorized but not yet granted to certain employees and consultants of Legacy Canoo.
On
December 18, 2020, the Company and Canoo Technologies, entered into a National Security Agreement (the “NSA”),
dated December 18, 2020, with DD Global Holdings Limited (together with its successors and assigns, “DD Global”)
and on behalf of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”), the U.S. Departments of
Defense, Justice, and the Treasury as the CFIUS Monitoring Agencies (“CMAs”). The NSA limits the control and
governance influence of DD Global, a significant existing stockholder of the Company.
The
NSA imposes certain conditions on the Company and DD Global and its affiliates. The Company has agreed to adopt certain data and
security measures, including adopting a comprehensive security plan, limiting access to certain data, appointment of a security
officer and the holding of an annual information meeting with the CMAs. The NSA prohibits DD Global and its affiliates from exercising
their voting rights to nominate or appoint members of the board of directors of the Company or Canoo Technologies or otherwise
influence the process of nominating or appointing such members. Furthermore, under the NSA, if DD Global and its affiliates own
shares equal to or greater than 30%, 25%, 15% or 10% as of September 15, 2021, November 30, 2021, January 1, 2022 or February
28, 2022, respectively, of the fully diluted shares of the Company (as calculated as set forth in the NSA, and as described below),
then DD Global and its affiliates must transfer all their shares to a voting trust, which will exercise all of the rights associated
with such shares of DD Global and its affiliates in the Company. Under the threshold calculation manner set forth in the NSA and
including all shares available under the currently proposed equity incentive and employee stock purchase plans (assuming an effective
registration statement on Form S-8 related thereto) and all shares issuable upon exercise of the Company’s outstanding warrants,
DD Global and its affiliates would hold approximately 26.4% of the fully diluted shares of the Company.
