On October 28, 2021, Mr. Palihapitiya sent a draft
non-binding
letter of intent to Dr. Martucci. The draft letter of intent included, subject to further due diligence, an initial
pre-transaction
equity value for Akili of $850 million. SCS management had conducted financial analyses that, in the exercise of their professional judgment, supported a pre-transaction equity value for Akili of at least $850 million, using conservative assumptions regarding, among others, the potential total addressable ADHD market for Akili’s products, potential market penetration rates, patient information and third-party payer coverage of Akili’s products, which analyses were also supported by consulting as a reference the enterprise values and cash balances of certain comparable public therapeutic and biotechnology companies that were selected by members of SCS management due to, among other reasons, the companies’ focus on the central nervous system and the stage of the development of their respective products, all of the companies being either mid- to late-stage pre-commercial or peri-commercial companies. The public therapeutic and biotechnology companies selected consist of Biohaven Pharmaceutical Holding Company Ltd., Intra-Cellular Therapies, Inc., Cerevel Therapeutics Holdings, Inc., Sage Therapeutics, Inc., Axsome Therapeutics, Inc., ATAI Life Sciences N.V., Zogenix, Inc., Praxis Precision Medicines, Inc., Compass Pathways Plc, Pear Therapeutics, Inc., Relmada Therapeutics, Inc., Marinus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Ovid Therapeutics Inc and Aptinyx Inc. The assumptions underlying these financial analyses and the selection of the aforementioned companies were based on the exercise of professional judgment and the significant industry expertise and experience of members of SCS management, independent of Akili’s analysis of the potential revenue opportunity for ADHD in the United States or the assumptions underlying Akili’s analysis. The initial draft
non-binding
letter of intent also contemplated a private placement
co-investment
of at least $150 million, including $50 million from affiliates of the Sponsor, as well as a $150 million minimum cash closing condition and a
45-day
exclusive negotiation period applicable to Akili. The $850 million valuation in the initial draft
non-binding
letter of intent included all outstanding shares of Akili common and preferred stock, as well as all outstanding Akili warrants and equity awards, whether vested or unvested. The $850 million valuation was informed by SCS management’s evaluation of Akili, including the potential market opportunity for Akili’s existing and future products, other financial and market materials provided by Akili’s management, and analysis of other companies in the therapeutics and digital therapeutics market. The newly issued common stock of the combined company, valued at the
pre-transaction
equity value of $850 million, would be divided by $10.00 per share to determine the post-closing shares owned by
pre-transaction
Akili stockholders, consistent with SCS’s initial public offering price of $10.00 per share. The initial draft
non-binding
letter of intent also contemplated that up to an additional 4% of the post-Closing outstanding capital stock would be available to grant to the Chief Executive Officer of Akili, subject to vesting requirements in four equal tranches, and an additional 2% of the post-Closing outstanding capital stock would be available to grant to other members of the management team of Akili. The draft letter of intent also provided that, subject to compliance with Nasdaq rules, the board of directors of Akili would remain in its current form and Sponsor would have the right to designate one additional member, subject to Akili’s prior approval (which would not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld), who would be independent under Nasdaq rules and be qualified to serve on the audit committee of the board as an audit committee financial expert. The board of directors of the combined company would also be divided into three classes of directors with “staggered” terms with the members of each class to be mutually determined by SCS and Akili; provided that the member to be designated by the Sponsor would be appointed to the third class of directors.
