(“Aspirational” and, after the Domestication as described below, “Wheels Up Experience Inc.” or “Wheels Up”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, previously entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 1, 2021, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 6, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Aspirational, Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“WUP”), KittyHawk Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Aspirational (“Merger Sub”), Wheels Up Blocker Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Aspirational (“Blocker Sub”), the Blocker Merger Subs (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and the Blockers (as defined in the Merger Agreement). ​ On July 13, 2021, as contemplated by the Merger Agreement and described in the section titled “Domestication Proposal” beginning on page 145 of the final prospectus and definitive proxy statement, dated June 23, 2021 (the “proxy statement/prospectus”) and filed on June 23, 2021 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), Aspirational filed a notice of deregistration with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, together with the necessary accompanying documents, and filed a certificate of incorporation and a certificate of corporate domestication with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, under which Aspirational was domesticated and continues as a Delaware corporation, changing its name to “Wheels Up Experience Inc.” (the “Domestication”). As a result of and upon the effective time of the Domestication, among other things, (1) each of the then issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of Aspirational (the “Aspirational Class A ordinary shares”), automatically converted, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Wheels Up (the “Wheels Up Class A common stock”); (2) each of the then issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of Aspirational (“Aspirational Class B ordinary shares”), automatically converted, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of Wheels Up Class A common stock; (3) each of the then issued and outstanding redeemable warrants of Aspirational (the “Aspirational warrants”) automatically converted into a redeemable warrant to acquire one share of Wheels Up Class A common stock (the “Wheels Up warrants”); and (4) each of the then issued and outstanding units of Aspirational that had not been previously separated into the underlying Aspirational Class A ordinary shares and underlying Aspirational warrants upon the request of the holder thereof (the “Aspirational units”), were cancelled and entitled the holder thereof to one share of Wheels Up Class A common stock and one-third of one Wheels Up warrant. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Wheels Up warrants. On July 13, 2021, as contemplated by the Merger Agreement and described in the section titled “BCA Proposal” beginning on page 91 of the proxy statement/prospectus, Wheels Up consummated the merger transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, whereby (i) the Blockers simultaneously merged with and into the respective Blocker Merger Subs, with the Blockers surviving each merger as wholly owned subsidiaries of Aspirational (the “First Step Blocker Mergers”), (ii) thereafter, the surviving Blockers simultaneously merged with and into Blocker Sub, with Blocker Sub surviving each merger (the “Second Step Blocker Mergers”), and (iii) thereafter, Merger Sub merged with and into WUP, with WUP surviving the merger, with the Company as its managing member (the “Company Merger” and collectively with the First Step Blocker Mergers and the Second Step Blocker Mergers, the “Mergers” and, together with the Domestication, the “Business Combination”). As a result of and upon the closing of the Mergers (the “Closing”), among other things, (i) all issued and outstanding equity interests of each Blocker (other than any such interests held in treasury or owned by such Blocker) as of immediately prior to the effective time of the First Step Blocker Mergers (the “First Step Blocker Effective Time”) were cancelled and converted into the right to receive in the aggregate (A) a number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock that is equal to the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the proxy statement/prospectus) multiplied by the aggregate number of WUP preferred interests held by such Blocker as of immediately prior to the First Step Blocker Effective Time and (B) any Earnout Shares (as defined below) that may be due and issuable pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and (ii) each outstanding WUP common interest and preferred interest (other than any WUP common interests subject to the WUP awards discussed below and the WUP preferred interests held by Blocker Sub) immediately prior to the First Step Blocker Effective Time was cancelled in exchange for the right to receive (A) a number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock that is equal to the Exchange Ratio and (B) any Earnout Shares that may be due and issuable pursuant to the Merger Agreement, which, in the case of all shares described in clauses (i) and (ii), together with the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock reserved in respect of the awards described immediately below, in the aggregate equal an aggregate merger consideration of $1,885,000,000, in addition to a number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock that may be issued post-Closing if WUP Options (as defined below) were to be cash exercised and due to the conversion of any WUP Profits Interests (as defined below) for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock at a level above the intrinsic value of the profits interests immediately after Closing based on a reference price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock of $10.00, plus any Earnout Shares. In addition, as a result of the Closing, (i) each option to purchase WUP common interests (the “WUP Options”) that was outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Company Merger was converted into the right to receive (as adjusted, including with respect to the applicable exercise price, based on the Exchange Ratio) an option related to the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock, (ii) each award of WUP profits interests (the “WUP Profits Interests”) granted under any WUP incentive plan or granted directly in WUP that was outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Company Merger was converted into the right to receive (as adjusted based on the Exchange Ratio and to maintain the intrinsic value of such award) an award of profits interests of Wheels Up, which, upon vesting and, for members of senior management, subject to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), are exchangeable for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock, and (iii) each award of WUP restricted interests (the “WUP Restricted Interests”) granted under any WUP incentive plan was converted into the right to receive (as adjusted based on the Exchange Ratio) an award of restricted shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock, with substantially the same vesting and termination-related provisions as such WUP Restricted Interest. Further, as a result of the Closing, existing WUP equityholders have the right to receive, including profits interests holders and restricted interest holders, but excluding option holders, through the issuance of Wheels Up EO Units (as defined in the Merger Agreement) that upon vesting may become exchangeable for, up to an aggregate of 9,000,000 additional shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock in three equal tranches which are issuable upon the achievement of share price thresholds for Wheels Up Class A common stock of $12.50, $15.00 and $17.50, respectively (such shares, the “Earnout Shares”).
