Support Agreement
Certain Old Securitize shareholders, including the Reporting Person (collectively, the "Support Parties"), entered into a shareholder support agreement with CEPT, the Issuer and Old Securitize (the "Shareholder Support Agreement"), pursuant to which the Support Parties agreed to vote all of their Old Securitize equity interests in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and to take certain other actions in support of the Business Combination.
Lock-up Agreement
Contemporaneously with the Closing, certain Old Securitize holders, including the Reporting Person (the "Lock-Up Parties"), entered into Lock-Up Agreements with Issuer, pursuant to which such parties agreed that the shares of the Issuer received by them in connection with the Business Combination and any other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock held by them immediately after the Closing (the "Restricted Securities"), will be locked-up and subject to transfer restrictions subject to certain exceptions. The Restricted Securities will be locked up until the date that is 180 days from the Closing Date, and provides that one-third of the Restricted Securities will be subject to early-release in the event the VWAP of the Common Stock exceeds $15.00, $17.50 and $20.00, in each case for at least 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days commencing 90 days after the Closing. The Lock-Up Agreements include customary exceptions to the transfer restrictions, including transfers to affiliates, family members, charitable organizations, and in connection with certain tax or estate planning transactions, provided that the transferee agrees to be bound by the same restrictions for the remainder of the lock-up period. On July 8, 2026, Issuer and Cantor EP Holdings II, LLC entered into an addendum to the Lock-Up Agreements to clarify that the restrictions do not apply to shares of Common Stock held by Lock-Up Parties as a result of them purchasing CEPT Class A Ordinary Shares in the open market or in the PIPE financing prior to the consummation of the Business Combination whereby such shares were exchanged for shares of Common Stock. The terms of the Lock-Up Agreements otherwise remain unchanged and continue to apply in full force and effect.
Restated Registration Rights Agreement
On the Closing Date, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination and as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Issuer and CEPT entered into the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the "Restated Registration Rights Agreement") with Cantor EP Holdings II, LLC and certain other shareholders, including the Reporting Person (collectively, the "RRA Parties"), pursuant to which the RRA Parties are entitled to registration rights in respect of certain shares of Common Stock and certain other equity securities of the Issuer that are held by the RRA Parties from time to time.
The Registration Rights Agreement provides that the Issuer will as soon as practicable but no later than 30 calendar days following the consummation of the Business Combination file with the SEC a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933 registering the resale of certain shares of Common Stock and certain other equity securities of the Issuer held by the RRA Parties and will use its commercially reasonably efforts to have such shelf registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (x) the 90th calendar day following the filing date if the SEC notifies the Issuer that it will "review" such shelf registration statement and (y) the 3rd business day after the date the Issuer is notified in writing by the SEC that such shelf registration statement will not be "reviewed" or will not be subject to further review.
The RRA Parties will be entitled to make demand registrations in connection with an underwritten shelf takedown offering, in each case subject to certain offering thresholds, applicable lock-up restrictions and certain other conditions. In addition, the RRA Parties have certain "piggy-back" registration rights. The Registration Rights Agreement includes customary indemnification and confidentiality provisions. The Issuer will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any registration statements filed pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.
The foregoing summaries of the Shareholder Support Agreement, the Lock-Up Agreements and Restated Registration Rights Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text or form of such agreements, each of which is filed as an exhibit to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference.
Loan Agreement
On December 13, 2025, the Reporting Person entered into a loan agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with James H. Finn Johnson (the "Lender") for $3.5 million. The Reported Person granted a first priority lien to the Lender of 150,000 shares of Securitize, Inc. (which converted into 666,591 shares of Common Stock in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination), as security for his obligations under the Loan Agreement. Upon the occurrence of certain events that are customary for this type of loan, the Lender may exercise its rights to require the Reporting Person to pre-pay the loan proceeds or post additional collateral, or foreclose on, and dispose of, the shares of Common Stock pledged to it in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement. |
