Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

As previously disclosed, on July 31, 2020, PropTech Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“PTAC”), PTAC Merger Sub Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of PTAC (“Merger Sub”), and Porch.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Porch”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into Porch (the “Merger”), with Porch surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of PTAC.

 

On November 4, 2020, PTAC received a letter (the “Shareholder Letter”) from a purported shareholder of PTAC claiming certain allegedly material omissions in the registration statement on Form S-4 (No. 333-249468), originally filed on October 14, 2020 (the “Proxy Statement”). The registration statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 2, 2020, and PTAC commenced mailing the Proxy Statement on December 4, 2020.

 

While PTAC believes that the disclosures set forth in the Proxy Statement comply fully with applicable law, in order to resolve the plaintiff’s disclosure claims in the Shareholder Letter so as to avoid nuisance, cost and distraction, and to preclude any efforts to delay the closing of the Merger, PTAC has determined to voluntarily supplement the Proxy Statement with the supplemental disclosures set forth below (the “Supplemental Disclosures”). Nothing in the Supplemental Disclosures shall be deemed an admission of the legal necessity or materiality under applicable laws of any of the disclosures set forth herein. To the contrary, PTAC specifically denies all allegations in the Shareholder Letter that any additional disclosure was or is required. PTAC believes the Shareholder Letter is without merit.

 

The Supplemental Disclosures will not affect the merger consideration to be paid to PTAC’s stockholders in connection with the Merger or the timing of PTAC’s virtual special meeting of stockholders scheduled to be held online via live webcast on December 21, 2020 at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time, at https://www.cstproxy.com/proptechacquisition/sm2020 (the “Special Meeting”). The board of directors continues to recommend that you vote “FOR” the proposals being considered at the Special Meeting.

 

Supplemental Disclosures to Proxy Statement

 

The following information should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement. All page references in the information below are to pages in the Proxy Statement, and capitalized terms used in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall have the meanings set forth in the Proxy Statement, unless otherwise defined herein.

 

The following disclosure is added after the footnotes following the table on page 147 of the Proxy Statement under the heading “Unaudited Prospective Financial Information of Porch”.

 

The following table reconciles net loss to pro forma Adjusted EBITDA for 2020 and 2021:

The following disclosure is added to the end of the fourth paragraph on page 153 of the Proxy Statement under the heading “Background of the Merger”.

 

In connection with PTAC’s engagement of Northland Securities, Inc., PTAC agreed to pay Northland Securities, Inc. compensation in the amount of 5% of the underwriting discounts and commissions paid in connection with PTAC’s IPO, net of expenses.  Accordingly, PTAC paid Northland Securities, Inc. $172,500 at the closing of its IPO, and expects to pay Northland Securities, Inc. an additional $301,875 upon the successful consummation of a business combination (which would include the Proposed Transaction), in each case minus expenses. Northland Securities, Inc. has not performed any past services for any of the parties to the Merger Agreement or their affiliates.

 

The following disclosure is added to the end of the fourth paragraph on page 152 of the Proxy Statement under the heading “Background of the Merger”.

 

Such non-disclosure agreements contained customary terms for a special purpose acquisition company and a private company target, including confidentiality provisions and use restrictions for information provided by the target and exceptions to such provisions. Further, such non-disclosure agreements did not contain any standstill or “don’t ask, don’t waive” provisions.

 

Additional Information About the Proposed Business Combination and Where to Find It

 

The business combination will be submitted to stockholders of PTAC for their consideration. PTAC has filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC containing a preliminary proxy statement and a preliminary prospectus of PTAC and a preliminary consent solicitation statement of Porch. After the registration statement was declared effective, PTAC mailed a definitive proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus relating to the proposed business combination to its shareholders. This press release does not contain all the information that should be considered concerning the proposed business combination and is not intended to form the basis of any investment decision or any other decision in respect of the business combination. PTAC’s shareholders and other interested persons are advised to read the definitive proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus and, when available, the amendments thereto and other documents filed in connection with the proposed business combination, as these materials will contain important information about Porch, PTAC and the business combination. The definitive proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus and other relevant materials for the proposed business combination were mailed to shareholders of PTAC as of November 27, 2020, the record date for voting on the proposed business combination. Shareholders can also obtain copies of the preliminary proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, the definitive proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus and other documents filed with the SEC, without charge, at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, or a solicitation of any vote or approval, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

Participants in the Solicitation

 

PTAC and its directors and executive officers may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies from PTAC’s shareholders with respect to the proposed business combination. A list of the names of those directors and executive officers and a description of their interests in PTAC is contained in PTAC’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, which was filed with the SEC and is available free of charge at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov.
