OF
SOFTWARE ACQUISITION GROUP INC. II

13,825,000 WARRANTS,
AND 13,825,000 ORDINARY SHARES UNDERLYING WARRANTS
OF
OTONOMO TECHNOLOGIES LTD.
The board of directors of Software Acquisition Group Inc. II, a Delaware corporation (“SWAG”), has unanimously approved the business combination agreement (“Business Combination Agreement”), dated as of January 31, 2021, by and among SWAG, Otonomo Technologies Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (the “Company” or “Otonomo”) and Butterbur Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into SWAG, with SWAG surviving the merger (the “Business Combination”). As a result of the Business Combination, and upon consummation of the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Transactions”), SWAG will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, with the securityholders of SWAG becoming securityholders of the Company.
Prior to the effective time of the Business Combination (the “Effective Time”), Otonomo intends to effect a stock split to cause the value of the outstanding Otonomo ordinary shares immediately prior to the Effective Time to equal $10.00 per share (the “Stock Split”). The consideration to be issued to securityholders of SWAG will be adjusted if the Stock Split is not effected or if the Stock Split results in a price per Otonomo ordinary share other than $10.00.
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement and assuming the Stock Split has occurred, at the Effective Time, (a) each share of Class A Common Stock of SWAG, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Stock”), outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be exchanged for one Otonomo ordinary share, (b) each share of Class B Common Stock of SWAG, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Stock” and, together with the Class A Stock, the “SWAG Common Stock”), outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be exchanged for one Otonomo ordinary share, (c) each warrant of SWAG entitling the holder to purchase one share of Class A Stock per warrant at a price of $11.50 per share (each, a “SWAG warrant”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be assumed by Otonomo and will become one warrant of Otonomo (“Otonomo warrant”), with the number of Otonomo ordinary shares underlying the Otonomo warrants and the exercise price of such Otonomo warrants subject to adjustment in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement in the event of a stock split, share dividend or distribution, or any change in Otonomo’s share capital by reason of any split-up reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification, exchange of shares and (d) each outstanding Otonomo preferred share will be converted into one Otonomo ordinary share.
Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Otonomo and certain accredited investors (the “PIPE Investors”) entered into a series of subscription agreements (“Subscription Agreements”), providing for the purchase by the PIPE Investors at the Effective Time of an aggregate of 14,250,000 Otonomo ordinary shares (“PIPE Shares”) at a price per share of $10.00 (assuming the Stock Split has been effected), for gross proceeds to Otonomo of $142,500,000 (collectively, the “PIPE Investment”). The closing of the PIPE Investment is conditioned upon the consummation of the Transactions.
In addition, concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Otonomo, certain Otonomo shareholders (the “Selling Shareholders”) and certain accredited investors (the “Secondary PIPE Investors”) entered into a share purchase agreement (“Share Purchase Agreement”), providing for the purchase by the Secondary PIPE Investors at the Effective Time of an aggregate of 3,000,000 Otonomo ordinary shares (“Secondary PIPE Shares”) from the Selling Shareholders at a price per share of $10.00 (assuming the Stock Split has been effected), for gross proceeds to the Selling Shareholders of $30,000,000 (collectively, the “Secondary PIPE”). The closing of the Secondary PIPE is conditioned upon the consummation of the Transactions.
This proxy statement/prospectus covers the Otonomo ordinary shares and Otonomo warrants issuable to the securityholders of SWAG as described above. Accordingly, we are registering up to an aggregate of 21,572,500 Otonomo ordinary shares, 13,825,000 Otonomo warrants, and 13,825,000 Otonomo ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants. We are not registering the Otonomo ordinary shares issuable to the Otonomo securityholders or the PIPE Investors or the Otonomo ordinary shares that will be sold to the Secondary PIPE Investors.
Proposals to approve the Business Combination Agreement and the other matters discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus will be presented at the special meeting of SWAG stockholders scheduled to be held on August 12, 2021 in virtual format.
Although Otonomo is not currently a public reporting company, following the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part and the closing of the Business Combination, Otonomo will become subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Otonomo intends to apply for listing of the Otonomo ordinary shares and Otonomo warrants on Nasdaq under the proposed symbols “OTMO” and “OTMOW”, respectively, to be effective at the consummation of the Business Combination. It is a condition of the consummation of the Transactions that the Otonomo ordinary shares are approved for listing on Nasdaq (subject only to official notice of issuance thereof and round lot holder requirements). While trading on Nasdaq is expected to begin on the first business day following the date of completion of the Business Combination, there can be no assurance that Otonomo’s securities will be listed on Nasdaq or that a viable and active trading market will develop. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 13 for more information.
Otonomo will be an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, and is therefore eligible to take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements otherwise applicable to other public companies.
Otonomo will also be a “foreign private issuer” as defined in the Exchange Act and will be exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act that impose certain disclosure obligations and procedural requirements for proxy solicitations under Section 14 of the Exchange Act. In addition, Otonomo’s officers, directors and principal shareholders will be exempt from the reporting and “short-swing” profit recovery provisions under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Moreover, Otonomo will not be required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act.
The accompanying proxy statement/prospectus provides SWAG stockholders with detailed information about the Business Combination and other matters to be considered at the special meeting of SWAG. We encourage you to read the entire accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and other documents referred to therein, carefully and in their entirety. You should also carefully consider the risk factors described in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 13 of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the securities to be issued in connection with the Business Combination, or determined if this proxy statement/prospectus is accurate or adequate. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
This proxy statement/prospectus is dated July 21, 2021, and is first being mailed to SWAG stockholders on or about July 21, 2021.
