Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously disclosed by GigCapital4, Inc. (“GigCapital4”) under Item 8.01 of its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 4, 2021, GigCapital4 announced that it executed an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as June 4, 2021, with GigCapital4 Merger Sub Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of GigCapital4 (“Merger Sub”), BigBear.ai Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“BigBear.ai”), and BBAI Ultimate Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“BBAI Holdings”) . This Current Report on Form 8-K provides a summary of the Merger Agreement and the other agreements entered into (and certain agreements to be entered into) in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The descriptions of these agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the terms and conditions of such agreements or the forms thereof, as applicable, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 2.1, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 hereto and are incorporated by reference herein.
Merger Agreement
The below description of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the actual agreement, a copy of which is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein will have the meanings given to them in the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement has been attached to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about GigCapital4, Merger Sub, BigBear.ai or BBAI Holdings. In particular, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement were made as of a specified date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what might be viewed as material to investors, or may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties. Accordingly, the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement are not necessarily characterizations of the actual state of facts about GigCapital4, Merger Sub, BigBear.ai or BBAI Holdings at the time they were made or otherwise and should only be read in conjunction with the other information that GigCapital4 makes publicly available in reports, statements and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
The Mergers
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Transactions”), a business combination between GigCapital4 and BigBear.ai will be effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into BigBear.ai (the “First Merger”), with BigBear.ai being the surviving company of the First Merger (the “Initial Surviving Corporation”), and immediately following the First Merger and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, the Initial Surviving Company will merge with and into GigCapital4 (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with GigCapital4 being the surviving company of the Second Merger (the “Ultimate Surviving Corporation”).
Merger Consideration and Conversion of Securities
At the effective time of the First Merger (the “First Effective Time”), each unit of limited liability company interest of BigBear.ai issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (other than units held in BigBear.ai’s treasury or owned by GigCapital4, Merger Sub or BigBear.ai immediately prior to the First Effective Time) will be cancelled and automatically deemed for all purposes to represent the right to receive, in the aggregate (the “Aggregate Merger Consideration”), (i) in book entry, the Equity Merger Consideration, and (ii) $75,000,000, in each case without interest and otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. The Equity Merger Consideration means a number of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of GigCapital4 (“GigCapital4 Common Stock”) equal to the result of dividing (i) the difference of (A) $1,565,000,000, minus (B) $75,000,000, by (ii) 10.00. BBAI Holdings, as the sole member of BigBear.ai, shall be paid the Aggregate Merger Consideration.
At the effective time of the Second Merger (the “Second Effective Time”), each unit of limited liability company interest of the Initial Surviving Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist without any conversion thereof or payment therefor, and the capital stock of GigCapital4 outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall remain outstanding as the capital stock of the Ultimate Surviving Corporation, which, collectively with GigCapital4’s 6.00% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the “Notes”) to be issued at the Second Effective Time (as further described below) and the warrants entitling the holders to purchase one share of GigCapital4 Common Stock per warrant (“GigCapital4 Warrants”), shall constitute one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding equity securities (and securities convertible into equity securities) of the Ultimate Surviving Corporation immediately after the Second Effective Time.

In certain circumstances, GigCapital4 may force conversion of the Notes after the first anniversary of the initial issuance of the Notes, subject to a holder’s prior right to convert, if the last reported sale price of the Common Stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 trading day period ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter and the 30-day average daily trading volume ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to $3,000,000 for the first two years after the initial issuance of the Notes and $2,000,000 thereafter.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements included in this Current Report on Form 8-K and the exhibits hereto that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “predict,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “future,” “outlook,” and 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 GigCapital4’s and BigBear.ai’s respective industries, future events, the proposed transactions between GigCapital4, Merger Sub, BigBear.ai and the BBAI Holdings, the estimated or anticipated future results and benefits of the combined company following the proposed transactions, including the likelihood and ability of the parties to successfully consummate the proposed transactions, future opportunities for the combined company, and other statements that are not historical facts. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified herein, and on the current expectations of BigBear.ai’s and GigCapital4’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. 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. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of BigBear.ai and GigCapital4. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political, and legal conditions; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the proposed transactions, including the risk that any required regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the proposed transactions or that the approval of GigCapital4’s stockholders is not obtained; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transactions; risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to the BigBear.ai; risks related to the rollout of the BigBear.ai’s business and the timing of expected business milestones; the effects of competition on the BigBear.ai’s future business; the amount of redemption requests made by GigCapital4’s public stockholders; the ability of GigCapital4 or the combined company to issue equity or equity-linked securities in connection with the proposed transactions or in the future, and those factors discussed in GigCapital4’s final prospectus dated February 8, 2021 and Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, in each case, under the heading “Risk Factors,” and other documents of GigCapital4 filed, or to be filed, with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that none of GigCapital4 or BigBear.ai presently know or that GigCapital4 or BigBear.ai currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect GigCapital4’s and BigBear.ai’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. GigCapital4 and BigBear.ai anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause GigCapital4’s and BigBear.ai’s assessments to change. However, while GigCapital4 and BigBear.ai may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, GigCapital4 and BigBear.ai specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing GigCapital4’s and BigBear.ai’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements. Certain market data information in this Current Report on Form 8-K is based on the estimates of BigBear.ai and GigCapital4 management. BigBear.ai and GigCapital4 obtained the industry, market and competitive position data used throughout this Current Report on Form 8-K from internal estimates and research as well as from industry publications and research, surveys
7
and studies conducted by third parties. BigBear.ai and GigCapital4 believe their estimates to be accurate as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. However, this information may prove to be inaccurate because of the method by which the BigBear.ai or GigCapital4 obtained some of the data for its estimates or because this information cannot always be verified due to the limits on the availability and reliability of raw data, the voluntary nature of the data gathering process.
