Introductory Note
On October 22, 2024, Sharecare, Inc. (“Sharecare” or the “Company”), Impact Acquiror Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Impact Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), completed the transactions contemplated by the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 21, 2024 (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Parent and Merger Sub. Parent and Merger Sub are affiliates of Altaris, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), Merger Sub merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a subsidiary of Parent.
| Item 2.01 | Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. |
The information set forth in the Introductory Note of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference in this Item 2.01.
At the Effective Time, in accordance with the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Company Common Stock”) (other than (a) shares of Company Common Stock that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, were held by the Company and not held on behalf of third parties, (b) shares of Company Common Stock that were owned by Parent or Merger Sub, in each case immediately prior to the Effective Time and (c) certain shares of Company Common Stock that were owned by Jeff Arnold, the Company’s Executive Chairman, and certain affiliates of Claritas Capital, LLC (“Claritas”), respectively, which shares were contributed, transferred and assigned to an affiliate of Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time in exchange for certain equity securities in such affiliate of Parent pursuant to the terms of rollover agreements entered into by Jeff Arnold and such affiliates of Claritas, respectively, on the one hand, and certain affiliates of Parent, on the other hand), was automatically converted into the right to receive $1.43 per share in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”). Each share of Series A convertible preferred stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Preferred Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time remained issued and outstanding following the Effective Time and was not converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration.
In addition, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, in accordance with the terms set forth therein and unless otherwise agreed in writing between Parent and the applicable holder, at the Effective Time:
| · | Each outstanding option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (a “Company Option”) that was vested or vested upon the Effective Time in accordance with its terms was cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash (without interest) equal to the product of multiplying (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by (B) the excess, if any of (x) the Merger Consideration over (y) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock of such Company Option (the “Option Consideration”). |
| · | Each outstanding Company Option that was unvested and held by a participant in the Company’s Change in Control Plan, effective January 25, 2023 (the “CIC Plan”, and each participant in the CIC Plan, a “CIC Plan Participant”), was cancelled and converted into a contingent right to receive (A) a cash payment, without interest (a “Contingent Cash Award”), equal to 70% of the Option Consideration and (B) a number of non-voting common units of Parent (or any parent company of Parent) (a “Contingent Unit Award”) having a capital value equal to 30% of the Option Consideration with respect to such Company Option, in each case generally subject to the same terms and conditions as applied to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time. |
| · | Each outstanding Company Option that was unvested and held by an individual who was not a CIC Plan Participant (a “Non-CIC Plan Participant”) was cancelled and converted into a Contingent Cash Award equal to the Option Consideration with respect to such Company Option, generally subject to the same terms and conditions as applied to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (except that the vesting of 70% of each such Contingent Cash Award would also be subject to certain performance-based goal(s)). |
| · | With respect to any outstanding Company Option the vesting of which was subject to stock price performance hurdles, (A) such stock price performance hurdles were deemed to have been satisfied to the extent the Merger Consideration exceeded the applicable performance hurdle and (B) any tranches of performance-vesting options whose performance hurdles exceeded the Merger Consideration were automatically forfeited at the Effective Time. |
| · | Each outstanding Company Option, whether vested or unvested and whether held by CIC Plan Participants or Non-CIC Plan Participants, for which the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock was equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration was automatically cancelled without consideration. |
| · | Each restricted stock unit award corresponding to shares of Company Common Stock (a “Company RSU Award”) that was held by a non-employee member of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), whether or not vested, was cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash (without interest) equal to the product of multiplying (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU Award by (B) the Merger Consideration. |
| · | Each Company RSU Award held by a CIC Plan Participant was cancelled and converted into (I) a Contingent Cash Award in an amount in cash equal to the product of multiplying (A) 70% of the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU Award by (B) the Merger Consideration, and (II) a Contingent Unit Award with a capital value equal to the product of multiplying (A) 30% of the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU Award by (B) the Merger Consideration, in each case generally subject to the same terms and conditions as applied to such Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time. With respect to any outstanding Company RSU Award the vesting of which was subject to performance-based objectives, the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU Award was deemed to be equal to (1) 125.3% for the 2023 measurement period, and (2) for incomplete measurement periods, the greater of (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock earned based on target performance and (y) the number of shares of Company Common Stock earned based on actual performance, extrapolated as of the Effective Time through the end of the applicable measurement period. |
| · | Each Company RSU Award held by a Non-CIC Plan Participant (excluding non-employee members of the Board) was cancelled and converted into a Contingent Cash Award, in an amount in cash equal to the product of multiplying (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU Award by (B) the Merger Consideration, generally subject to the same terms and conditions as applied to such Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time (except that the vesting of 70% of such Contingent Cash Award would also be subject to certain performance-based goal(s)). With respect to any outstanding Company RSU Award the vesting of which was subject to performance-based objectives, the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU Award was deemed to be equal to (I) 125.3% for the 2023 measurement period, and (II) for incomplete measurement periods, the number of shares of Company Common Stock earned based on target performance. |
| · | Each Company warrant (a “Company Warrant”) outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and issued under the Company’s Warrant Agreement, dated as of September 21, 2020, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Warrant Agreement”) was treated in accordance with Section 4.4 of the Warrant Agreement, pursuant to which each such Company Warrant, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof or any other person, ceased to represent a Company Warrant exercisable for shares of Company Common Stock and became a Company Warrant exercisable for the Merger Consideration that the holder of such Company Warrant would have received if such Company Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to the Effective Time. If a Registered Holder (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) of a Company Warrant validly exercises a Company Warrant within thirty days following the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Warrant Price (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) will be reduced to an amount equal to $1.42 per Company Warrant, which is equal to the Warrant Price as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Original Warrant Price”) less (i) the Original Warrant Price minus (ii)(A) the Merger Consideration minus (B) the Black-Scholes Warrant Value (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) with respect to such Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, which was approximately $0.01 per Company Warrant. |
As a result of the completion of the Merger, the Company became a subsidiary of Parent. Parent funded the aggregate Merger Consideration through equity financing.
The foregoing description of the Merger, the Merger Agreement and the other transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 21, 2024, which is incorporated by reference herein.

The information set forth in the Introductory Note and in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference in this Item 3.01.
On October 22, 2024, the Company notified the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that the Merger had been completed and requested that Nasdaq suspend trading of Company Common Stock and the Company Warrants on Nasdaq prior to the opening of trading on October 22, 2024. The Company also requested that Nasdaq file with the SEC a notification of removal from listing and registration on Form 25 to effect the delisting of all shares of Company Common Stock and all of the Company Warrants from Nasdaq and the deregistration of such shares and warrants under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). As a result, the shares of Company Common Stock and the Company Warrants will no longer be listed on Nasdaq.
In addition, following the effectiveness of the Form 25, the Company intends to file a certification on Form 15 with the SEC requesting the termination of registration of all shares of Company Common Stock and all of the Company Warrants under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and the suspension of the Company’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act with respect to all shares of Company Common Stock and the Company Warrants.
