I. Introduction and Purpose
This Supplemental Due Diligence Request List (this "Supplemental Request List") is delivered by Calderwood & Harkness LLP ("Calderwood & Harkness") to Skybridge Fintech Ltd. (the "Company" or "Skybridge") as a supplement to the initial Due Diligence Request List dated November 13, 2023 (the "Initial Request List"), which was previously delivered to the Company in connection with the proposed $60,000,000 convertible promissory note bridge financing (the "Transaction") led by Ridgeline Ventures Fund IV, L.P. ("Ridgeline" or the "Lead Investor").
This Supplemental Request List identifies additional items and categories of information that have arisen from the Calderwood & Harkness team's preliminary review and analysis of the materials produced by the Company in response to the Initial Request List. The requests set forth herein are intended to address areas where additional documentation, clarification, or supplemental information is required to complete the legal due diligence review and to facilitate preparation of the transaction documentation.
It is anticipated that initial drafts of the Note Purchase Agreement and related transaction documents will be circulated on or about December 11, 2023. Completion of the diligence review reflected in this Supplemental Request List is necessary in order to finalize the Company Disclosure Schedule, representations and warranties, and closing deliverables to be included in the definitive transaction documents. Accordingly, the Company is requested to treat the production of the materials described herein with appropriate urgency.
The Company is requested to provide all responsive materials via the Thackeray Solutions virtual data room previously established for this Transaction (the "VDR"), organized in accordance with the numbered request categories set forth below. Alternatively, materials may be delivered directly to Leonard Ashford or Nina Reyes at Calderwood & Harkness LLP, 600 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10022. The Company should contact Priya Ramanathan, General Counsel, or any member of the Calderwood & Harkness team identified below with any questions regarding the scope, interpretation, or applicability of any specific request contained herein.
All materials produced in response to this Supplemental Request List, together with all materials previously produced in response to the Initial Request List, remain subject to and protected by the attorney-client privilege, the work product doctrine, and any other applicable evidentiary privileges and protections. Production of materials pursuant to this Supplemental Request List shall not be deemed a waiver of any such privilege or protection.
II. General Instructions
The following general instructions apply to all requests set forth in this Supplemental Request List and should be read in conjunction with the general instructions contained in the Initial Request List:
1. Organization. All responsive materials should be organized by numbered request category, corresponding to the section and subsection numbers used in this Supplemental Request List (e.g., materials responsive to Request III.A should be uploaded to a VDR folder labeled "III.A — Money Transmission Licenses and Permits"). Where a single document is responsive to multiple requests, the document should be uploaded once and cross-referenced in each applicable folder.
2. Non-Existence or Inapplicability. If any requested item does not exist or is not applicable to the Company, the Company is requested to provide written confirmation to that effect, specifically identifying the request number and providing a brief explanation. A blanket statement of inapplicability will not be sufficient; each such determination should be made on a request-by-request basis.
3. Amendments and Restatements. Where any requested document has been amended, supplemented, restated, or otherwise modified since its original execution, the Company should provide all versions of such document, including the current effective version and all prior amendments, supplements, restatements, or modifications, in chronological order.
4. Status Updates. For any ongoing or pending matters (including, without limitation, pending regulatory applications, ongoing litigation, pending negotiations, and unresolved disputes), the Company should provide status updates reflecting the most current information available as of the most recent practicable date prior to production.
5. Cross-References to Initial Request List. Where a request in this Supplemental Request List supplements, updates, or expands upon a request contained in the Initial Request List, a cross-reference to the corresponding Initial Request List item number has been provided where practicable. In instances where additional materials are being requested to supplement a prior production, the Company should identify the new materials and distinguish them from materials previously produced.
6. Privilege Log. To the extent the Company withholds any responsive document or portion of a document on the basis of attorney-client privilege, work product protection, or any other applicable privilege, the Company should maintain a privilege log identifying each such document by date, author, recipient(s), subject matter, and the basis for the privilege assertion.
