Based on the results of the General Meeting, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain other closing conditions as described in the Proxy Statement, the transactions (the "Transactions") contemplated by that certain Business Combination Agreement (as amended, the "Business Combination Agreement"), dated as of March 22, 2021, by and among JAWS Spitfire, Spitfire Merger Sub, Inc. and Velo3D, Inc. (the "Company"), including the Domestication and the Merger (as such terms are defined in the Proxy Statement), are expected to be consummated on September 29, 2021. Following the consummation of the Transactions, the common stock and warrants of New Velo3D (as such term is defined in the Proxy Statement) are expected to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") under the symbols "VLD" and "VLD WS," respectively, on September 30, 2021.
Other Events A total of 18,215,868 Class A ordinary shares were presented for redemption in connection with the General Meeting (the "Redemptions"). As a result, there will be approximately $162.8 million remaining in the trust account following redemptions.
The Business Combination Agreement provides that the obligation of the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement is conditioned on, among other things, a requirement that the aggregate cash proceeds available in JAWS Spitfire's trust account (after giving effect to the Redemptions) and the aggregate cash proceeds actually received by JAWS Spitfire in respect of the PIPE Financing (as such term is defined in the Proxy Statement), after deducting (a) JAWS Spitfire's unpaid transaction expenses and (b) JAWS Spitfire's unpaid liabilities (the resulting amount, the "Available JAWS Spitfire Cash"), is equal to or greater than $350,000,000 (the "Aggregate Transaction Proceeds"). As a result of the Redemptions, there is approximately $295.6 million of Available JAWS Spitfire Cash, which is approximately $54.4 million less than the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds. The Company has agreed to waive the failure to satisfy this Minimum Aggregate Transaction Proceeds condition (the "Waiver").
