On June 5, 2019, MTech entered into subscription agreements with certain Investors pursuant to which the Investors agreed to purchase, immediately prior to the closing (the “Closing”) of the business combination (the “Business Combination”) of MTech and MJ Freeway, a Colorado limited liability company (“MJF”), in the aggregate 685,599 shares of Class A common stock of MTech (“Class A Common Stock”) at a purchase price of $10.21 per share (for an aggregate of $7.0 million) on a private placement basis.
On June 7 and June 10, 2019, MTech entered into Subscription Agreements with certain Investors for the sale of an additional 215,475 shares of Class A Common Stock at a purchase price of $10.21 per share (for an aggregate of approximately $2.2 million). The subscription agreements entered into as part of the private placement are referred to collectively as the “Subscription Agreements” and the investors that have entered into the Subscription Agreements are collectively referred to herein as the “Investors.”
At the closing of the private placement, MTech expects to issue and sell an aggregate of 901,074 shares of Class A Common Stock for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $9.2 million. The Class A Common Stock issued by MTech in the private placement will be converted into shares of common stock of Pubco on a one-for-one basis. The closing of the private placement is conditioned on the Closing of the Business Combination immediately thereafter.
During the period from the execution of the Subscription Agreements and through 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the third business day prior to the Special Meeting, the Investors will have the right to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock in privately negotiated transactions with third parties (any shares so purchased, “Backstop Shares”), which if held and not redeemed in accordance with the requirements of the Subscription Agreement, will reduce the number of Private Placement Shares required to be purchased by such Investors. The Investors have agreed to (i) not transfer prior to the Closing any Backstop Shares that it owns or otherwise acquires, (ii) vote at the Special Meeting all of the Backstop Shares that it owns or acquires, or otherwise has proxy rights with respect to, in favor of the Business Combination, and each of the other proposals of MTech set forth in the proxy statement in connection with the Business Combination, and (iii) waive and not exercise any rights that it may have to redeem or convert any Backstop Shares that it owns or acquires in the redemption conducted by the Company in connection with the Business Combination.

In each Subscription Agreement, Pubco also granted to each Investor an option for a period of 60 days starting after the Closing to purchase, subject to certain conditions, additional shares of Pubco Class A common stock (“Option Shares”) at a price of $10.21 per share, up to a number of Option Shares equal to the number of Private Placement Shares and Backstop Shares purchased and held and not redeemed by such Investor under the Subscription Agreement. The Investor will have the registration rights described above with respect to any such purchased Option Shares.
Each Subscription Agreement will terminate with no further force and effect upon the earlier to occur of (i) such date and time as the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, (ii) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties to the Subscription Agreement to terminate such agreement or (iii) the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement are not consummated prior to July 31, 2019.
In connection with the execution of the Subscription Agreements, the Sponsor and MTech entered into an Agreement to Transfer Sponsor Shares (each, a “Sponsor Stock Transfer Agreement”) with each Investor, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to transfer to each Investor at the closing of the Private Placement one (1) share of Class B common stock of MTech for each nine (9) Private Placement Shares or Backstop Shares purchased and held and not redeemed by such Investor under the Subscription Agreement, which shares of Class B common stock of MTech will become Class A shares of Pubco upon the Closing (such shares, the “Transferred Sponsor Shares”). Each Investor agreed to accept its portion of the Transferred Sponsor Shares subject to (i) the escrow and related restrictions applying to such Transferred Sponsor Shares under that certain Stock Escrow Agreement, dated as of January 29, 2018 (the “Stock Escrow Agreement”), by and among the Company, the Sponsor, and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation, as escrow agent (“Escrow Agent”), as a “Founder” party thereto, with each Investor agreeing to also sign a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to MTech, Pubco, the Sponsor and the Escrow Agent to become subject to the Amendment to Stock Escrow Agreement in substantially the form attached to the Merger Agreement, which Amendment to Stock Escrow Agreement will be signed by MTech, Pubco, the Sponsor and the Escrow Agent in connection with the Closing, and (ii) the restrictions applying to “insiders” after the Closing under the Letter Agreement, dated as of January 29, 2018, by and among MTech, EarlyBirdCapital, Inc., as representative of the underwriters thereunder, the Sponsor and Steven Van Dyke.
