MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Lionheart Acquisition Corporation II (Nasdaq: LCAPU, LCAP and LCAPW) (“Company”) announces a clarification on the issuance of New Warrants, as previously announced in connection with its business combination with MSP Recovery, LLC (the “Business Combination”).

Following the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), which is now expected to occur on May 23, 2022, the Company’s Class A Common Stock will cease trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq CM”) under the symbol “LCAP” (CUSIP 53625R104), and begin trading on Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq GM”) under the symbol “MSPR” (CUSIP 553745100) and the Company’s warrants, each to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at $11.50 per share (the “Existing Warrants”), will cease trading on the Nasdaq CM under the symbol “LCAPW” and begin trading on Nasdaq GM under the symbol “MSPRZ” rather than continuing to trade under “LCAPW” as previously planned.

Upon this conversion, for each share of Class A Common Stock traded under “LCAP” immediately prior to the Closing that did not elect to be redeemed (the “Continuing Shares”) in connection with the Business Combination, holders will receive one share of Class A Common Stock traded under “MSPR” and the right to receive New Warrants in an amount equal to the product of (a) the number of Continuing Shares held multiplied by (b) 118.109463483458 (the “New Warrant Ratio”), to be issued as soon as practicable following the Closing, which is currently estimated to be 10 days following the Closing. Additionally, the Units of the Company trading on Nasdaq CM under the symbol “LCAPU,” each comprised of one share of Class A Common Stock and one-half of one Existing Warrant, will be split into their component parts and for each Unit, holders will receive one share of Class A Common Stock trading under the ticker symbol “MSPR” and one-half of one Existing Warrant (with any fractional warrant rounded down) in addition to the right to receive New Warrants in an amount equal to the product of (a) the number of Units held multiplied by (b) the Warrant Ratio.

The Warrant Ratio was calculated based on the previously disclosed intent to issue approximately 1,029,000,000 New Warrants pro rata (or on as nearly a pro rata basis as is practicable) to the holders of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, on the close of business on the closing date, based on their proportionate ownership of the then-outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, in each case after giving effect to any redemptions by the holders of Class A Common Stock, the conversion of the Company’s Class B Common Stock to Class A Common Stock, and the separation of Units into their component parts, which resulted in an expected 8,712,257 shares of Class A Common Stock.

The New Warrants are each exercisable for one share of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share and will be subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments and become exercisable 30 days following the Closing, expiring five years from the date of Closing. The issuance of the New Warrants, and the shares underlying the New Warrants, was registered on the Form S-4 filed by the Company in connection with the Business Combination (the “Registration Statement”), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 2, 2022. The Company intends for the New Warrants to be listed, subject to Nasdaq approval, on the Nasdaq GM under the trading symbol “MSPRW” upon issuance. The Company will issue the New Warrants pursuant to a warrant agreement, substantially in the form attached as Annex M to the Registration Statement. A copy of the Registration Statement relating to the issuance of the New Warrants and the shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the New Warrants may be obtained for free, on the SEC website at www.sec.gov.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

This communication includes forward looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor from civil liability provided for such statements by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) and Section 27A of the Securities Act), which include information relating to future events, future financial performance, strategies, expectations, competitive environment, regulation and availability of resources and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These statements are often accompanied with or by words such as “expects,” “plans,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “estimates,” “intends,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “seeks,” “targets,” “continues,” “believes,” “opinion,” “will,” “could,” “future,” “growth,” or “may” (or the negatives thereof) or other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding MSP’s plans, goals and objectives, forecasts, budgets or projections and any related assumptions, statements and projections regarding projected MSP claims by paid amounts, projected recovery percentages, forecasts relating to key revenue drivers, earnings growth, gross and cumulative recoveries and the implied enterprise value and LCAP’s and MSP’s expectations with respect to future performance and anticipated financial impacts of the Business Combination, the satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions to the Business Combination, and the timing of the completion of the Business Combination. There is no guarantee that prospects or results or the timing of events included or referred to in this communication will be achieved or that MSP will be able to implement successfully its investment strategy or achieve its investment objectives or return targets. Accordingly, we caution you against relying on forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements also are subject to a number of significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially, and potentially adversely, from those express or implied in the forward-looking statements. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this communication, and on the current expectations of management and are not predictions of actual performance. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and may differ from assumptions, and such differences may be material. Many actual events and circumstances are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, and are beyond the control of MSP and LCAP and are difficult to predict. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to, the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the MIPA; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against LCAP or MSP or affiliated companies following the announcement of the Business Combination; the inability to complete the Business Combination on the expected time frame or at all, including due to failure to obtain approval of LCAP’s stockholders, certain regulatory approvals, or the satisfaction of other conditions to closing in the MIPA; the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the MIPA or could otherwise cause the Business Combination to fail to close; the inability to obtain or maintain the common stock listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market following the Business Combination; a delay or failure to realize the expected benefits of the Business Combination; the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things: future economic, financial, lending, competitive and market conditions, including healthcare spending fluctuations; future costs of and returns on capital; leverage and lending costs and terms; operating costs and future business, investment, holding and sale decisions and costs; the risks associated with MSP’s business, including, among others, MSP’s ability to capitalize on its assignment agreements and recover monies that were paid by the assignors; litigation results; the validity of the assignments of claims to MSP; a determination that MSP’s claims are not reasonable, related or necessary; the failure of MSP’s clients to renew their agreements with MSP (or terminate those agreements early); MSP’s claims being within applicable statutes of limitations; the inability to successfully expand the scope of MSP’s claims or obtain new data and claims from MSP’s existing assignor base or otherwise; the limited number of MSP’s assignors and the associated concentration of MSP’s current and future potential revenue; internal improvements to claims and retail billing processes by MSP’s clients that reduce the need for and revenue generated by MSP’s products and services; healthcare spending fluctuations; programmatic changes to the scope of benefits and limitations to payment integrity initiatives that reduce the need for MSP’s services; delays in implementing MSP’s services to its claims; system interruptions or failures; cyber-security breaches and other disruptions that could compromise MSP’s data; MSP’s failure to maintain or upgrade its operational platforms; MSP’s failure to innovate and develop new solutions, or the failure of those solutions to be adopted by MSP’s existing and potential assignors; MSP’s failure to comply with applicable privacy, security and data laws, regulations and standards, including with respect to third party providers; changes in legislation related to healthcare programs and policies; changes in the healthcare market; negative publicity concerning healthcare data analytics and payment accuracy; competition; successfully protecting MSP’s intellectual property rights; the risk that third parties may allege infringement of their intellectual property; changes in the healthcare regulatory environment and the failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations or the increased costs associated with any such compliance; failure to manage MSP’s growth; the inability to attract and retain key personnel; MSP’s reliance on its senior management team and key employees and the loss it could sustain if any of those employees separated from the business; the failure of vendors and providers to deliver or perform as expected, or the loss of such vendors or providers; MSP’s geographic concentration; MSP’s relatively limited operating history, which makes it difficult to evaluate its current or future business prospects; the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic; and the risk that MSP may not be able to develop and maintain effective internal controls. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. If any of these risks materialize or MSP’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ materiality from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that we do not presently know or currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Additional information concerning certain of these and other risk factors is contained in LCAP’s most recent filings with the SEC and in the Registration Statement and the definitive proxy statement/prospectus, filed with the SEC in connection with the Business Combination. This communication speaks only as of the date indicated, and the statements, expressions, information and data included therein may change and may become stale, out-of-date or no longer applicable. We do not have, and do not undertake, any obligation to update, amend or revise this communication (or to provide new, amended or revised materials), including with respect to any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed plans or circumstances or any other reason, except as required by law. The communication should not be relied upon as representing our assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this communication. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the communication, including the forward-looking statements.
