Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Business Combination Agreement
On
Merger Consideration
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"):
(i) Each share of Pear's common stock, par value$0.0001 per share (the "Pear Common Shares"), issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding shares owned by Pear as treasury stock or dissenting shares) will be cancelled and converted into (x) the right to receive the Per Share Upfront Consideration (as defined below) and (y) the contingent right to receiveEarn Out Shares described under "Earn Out Consideration" below (with respect to each Pear Common Share, collectively, the "Per Share Consideration" and with respect to all Pear Common Shares and Pear Preferred Shares (as defined below), in the aggregate, the "Merger Consideration"). The "Per Share Upfront Consideration" is equal to such number of THMA's Class A common stock, par value$0.0001 per share (the "THMA Class A Shares") equal to (i)$1,200,000,000 divided by$10.00 divided by (ii) the total number of Pear Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, expressed on an as-exercised and as-converted to Pear Common Shares basis (including any Pear Common Shares underlying Pear Vested In-the-Money Options (on a net exercise basis) or Pear Preferred Shares) (the "Pear Outstanding Shares"). (ii) Each share of Pear's preferred stock, par value$0.0001 per share (the "Pear Preferred Shares"), issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive Per Share Consideration in respect of such number of Pear Common Shares as set forth on the Consideration Schedule (as defined below). (iii) Each Pear Option that is unexercised and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and that has a per share exercise price less than the Per Share Upfront Consideration multiplied by$10.00 (a "Pear In-the-Money Option") will be cancelled in exchange for an option to purchase a number of THMA Class A Shares as set forth on the Consideration Schedule at an exercise price as set forth on such Consideration Schedule. (iv) Each warrant to purchase Pear Common Shares ("Pear Warrant") will be converted into a warrant to acquire a number of THMA Class A Shares in an amount and at an exercise price and subject to such terms and conditions, in each case, as set forth on the Consideration Schedule. Subject to certain exceptions, such terms and conditions will be the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the Pear Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time.
The "Consideration Schedule" sets forth (a) the portion of the Merger Consideration to which a holder of Pear Common Shares or Pear Preferred Shares, as applicable, would be entitled to receive on a proportionate, as-converted basis under Pear's certificate of incorporation and bylaws, each as amended or supplemented as of the Effective Time, and (b) with respect to the conversion of Pear In-the-Money Options to options to purchase THMA Class A Shares, such equitable adjustments to the number of shares and the exercise price to reflect the Merger and the price per THMA Class A Share.
Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, THMA is required to cause the THMA Class A Shares to be issued in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the "Transactions") to be listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market ("Nasdaq") prior to the closing of the Merger (the "Closing" and the date on which the Closing occurs, the "Closing Date").

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements, estimates, targets and projections in this Current Report on Form 8-K may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws with respect to the proposed transaction between THMA and Pear. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events involving, or future performance of, THMA or Pear. For example, projections of future EBITDA, statements regarding anticipated growth in the industry in which Pear operates and anticipated growth in demand for Pear's products, projections of Pear's future financial results and other metrics, the satisfaction of closing conditions to the Merger and the timing of the completion of the Merger are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "pro forma", "may", "should", "could", "might", "plan", "possible", "project", "strive", "budget", "forecast", "expect", "intend", "will", "estimate", "anticipate", "believe", "predict", "potential" or "continue", or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that,
while considered reasonable by THMA and its management, and Pear and its
management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain. Factors that may cause
actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are
not limited to: (i) the risk that the Merger, including the contemporaneous
private placement of equity securities (the "PIPE investment"), may not be
completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of
THMA's securities; (ii) the risk that the Merger may not be completed by THMA's
business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension
of the business combination deadline if sought by THMA; (iii) the lack of a
third party valuation in determining whether or not to pursue the Merger;
(iv) the amount of the costs, fees, expenses and other charges related to the
Merger and PIPE investment; (v) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be
instituted against THMA, Pear, the combined company or others following the
announcement of the Business Combination Agreement, the ancillary agreements
contemplated thereby and the transactions contemplated thereby (including the
Merger); (vi) the inability to complete the Merger due to the failure to obtain
approval of the stockholders of THMA, or Pear to obtain financing to complete
the Merger or to satisfy other conditions to closing; (vii) changes to the
proposed structure of the Merger that may be required or appropriate as a result
of applicable laws or regulations or as a condition to obtaining regulatory
approval of the Merger; (viii) the ability to meet stock exchange listing
standards following the consummation of the Merger; (ix) the risk that the
Merger disrupts current plans and operations of Pear or diverts management's
attention from Pear's ongoing business operations and potential difficulties in
Pear employee retention as a result of the announcement and consummation of the
Merger; (x) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Merger,
which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the
combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships
with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees;
(xi) costs related to the Merger; (xii) changes in applicable laws or
regulations; (xiii) the possibility that Pear or the combined company may be
adversely affected by other economic, business, regulatory, and/or competitive
factors; (xiv) Pear's estimates of expenses and profitability; (xv) the
evolution of the markets in which Pear competes; (xvi) the ability of Pear to
implement its strategic initiatives and continue to innovate its existing
products; (xvii) the ability of Pear to defend its intellectual property and
satisfy regulatory requirements; (xviii) the ability of THMA to issue equity or
equity-linked securities in connection with the Merger or in the future;
(xix) the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Pear's business; and (xx) other
risks and uncertainties set forth in the section entitled "Risk Factors" and
"Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in THMA's final
prospectus dated
Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and THMA and Pear assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
