Alkuri Merger and PIPE Transaction
3.    Alkuri Merger and PIPE Transaction
On June 3, 2021, we entered into the Merger Agreement with Alkuri, Alkuri’s sponsor and the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Babylon. The Merger Agreement provided for the Merger, and Alkuri and Babylon entered into subscriptions agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain accredited investors (the “PIPE Investors”) providing for issuance and the sale, in private placements, of an aggregate of 896,000 Class A ordinary shares to the PIPE Investors at a price of $250.00 per share (the “PIPE Transaction”). The Merger and the PIPE Transaction closed on October 21, 2021 and were effectuated as follows:

The shareholders of Alkuri, including Alkuri’s sponsor, exchanged their equity interests for Class A ordinary shares of Babylon Holdings Limited. As Alkuri does not meet the definition of a business, the Merger was accounted for as a recapitalization in accordance with ASC 805 - Business Combinations with Babylon Holdings Limited being the accounting successor. At the closing of the Merger, Alkuri merged with and into Liberty USA Merger Sub, Inc., a new wholly owned subsidiary, with Alkuri continuing as the surviving company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Babylon Holdings Limited. Each Alkuri unit consisting of Alkuri common stock and warrants was automatically separated into its component securities without any action on the part of the holders of such units. Each share of Alkuri common stock was automatically converted into the right to receive one Class A
ordinary share of Babylon Holdings Limited. Each warrant to purchase shares of Alkuri’s common stock that was outstanding immediately prior to the Merger was assumed by the Company and automatically converted into a warrant to purchase Class A ordinary shares in the Company.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company issued 438,956 Class A ordinary shares to the shareholders of Alkuri (excluding the Sponsor Earnout Shares discussed below) and assumed warrants previously issued by Alkuri, consisting of 237,333 private placement warrants and 345,000 public warrants, which were converted into warrants to purchase 582,333 Class A ordinary shares (“Alkuri Warrants”). The warrants to purchase 582,333 Class A ordinary shares give the holder the right to purchase such shares at a fixed amount for a period of five years subject to the terms and conditions of the warrant agreement. The issuance of shares to shareholders and investors in Alkuri as part of the Merger resulted in a $122.8 million increase in Additional-paid-in-capital. The impact to each Class A ordinary shares and Class ordinary shares was not material.
As part of the Merger, Babylon issued 1,552,000 Class B ordinary shares to its Founder and Chief Executive Officer (“Stockholder Earnout”) and 51,750 Class A ordinary shares to Alkuri’s sponsor (“Sponsor Earnout Shares”), subject to transfer restrictions if and until milestones based on the trading price of the Class A ordinary shares on the New York Stock Exchange following the closing of the Merger are achieved (collectively “Earnout Shares”). The restrictions on the Earnout Shares are to be released in four equal portions subject to achieving milestones on the trading price of our Class A ordinary shares on the New York Stock Exchange of $312.50, $375.00, $437.50 and $500.00 within and for specified time periods. In the event that such milestones are not met within and for the required time periods, all of the Earnout Shares for which the applicable milestone has not been met will be automatically converted into deferred shares that are redeemable shares of Babylon which then shall be redeemed by the Company for $1.00 in aggregate for all such shares being redeemed or such higher amount as may be specified in an agreement with the holders of Earnout Shares. As it was concluded that the Earnout Shares were not compensatory in nature and therefore will be classified as a liability as the Company may be required to repurchase such shares in cash.
In exchange for the Class A ordinary shares and warrants issued to Alkuri, and the issuance of the Stockholder Earnout Shares and the Sponsor Earnout Shares, the Company received the net assets held by Alkuri of $5.3 million, which was primarily composed of cash held in Alkuri’s trust account of $36.4 million and current liabilities of $31.1 million.
Concurrent with the Merger, the Company received proceeds of $224.0 million through the private placement of Class A ordinary shares to the PIPE Investors, which included existing investors, Alkuri’s sponsor, and other new investors in the PIPE Transaction. The PIPE Transaction has been treated as a capital contribution, which resulted in a $224.2 million increase in Additional-paid-in-capital. The impact to each Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares was not material.
Upon the closing of the Merger and PIPE Transaction, Babylon Holdings Limited became a publicly traded corporation, listing its Class A ordinary shares and its public warrants on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbols BBLN and BBLN.W, respectively. Babylon incurred incremental transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance of shares the shareholders of Alkuri pursuant to the Merger Agreement and to the PIPE Investors in the PIPE Transaction, which were reflected as a reduction in Additional-paid-in-capital.
