EXPLANATORY NOTE
Following the completion of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, on February 12, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), Longview Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Longview” and after the Business Combination described herein, the “Company”), consummated a business combination (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of November 19, 2020 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among Longview, Clay Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), and Butterfly Network, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Butterfly”).
Immediately upon the consummation of the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (collectively, the “Transactions”, and such completion, the “Closing”), Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy Butterfly, with Legacy Butterfly surviving the business combination as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Longview (the “Merger”). In connection with the Transactions, Longview changed its name to “Butterfly Network, Inc.” and Legacy Butterfly changed its name to “BFLY Operations, Inc.”
As a consequence of the Business Combination, each share of Longview Class B common stock that was issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) was converted, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of the Company’s Class A common stock. The Business Combination had no effect on the Longview Class A common stock that was issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, which continues to remain outstanding.
As a consequence of the Merger, at the Effective Time, (i) each share of Legacy Butterfly capital stock (other than the Legacy Butterfly Series A preferred stock) that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was automatically canceled and converted into the right to receive 1.0383 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares; (ii) each share of Legacy Butterfly Series A preferred stock that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was automatically canceled and converted into the right to receive 1.0383 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares; (iii) each option to purchase shares of Legacy Butterfly common stock, whether vested or unvested, that was outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time was assumed by the Company and became an option (vested or unvested, as applicable) to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock equal to the number of shares of Legacy Butterfly common stock subject to such option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by 1.0383, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares, at an exercise price per share equal to the exercise price per share of such option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by 1.0383 and rounded up to the nearest whole cent; (iv) each Legacy Butterfly restricted stock unit outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was assumed by the Company and became a restricted stock unit with respect to a number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, rounded to the nearest whole share, equal to the number of shares of Legacy Butterfly common stock subject to such Legacy Butterfly restricted stock unit immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by 1.0383; and (v) the principal amount plus accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the Legacy Butterfly convertible notes outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time was automatically canceled and converted into the right to receive shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, with such shares of the Company’s Class A common stock calculated by dividing the outstanding principal plus accrued interest, if any, of each Legacy Butterfly convertible note by $10.00, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares.
In addition, on February 12, 2021, Longview filed the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Restated Certificate”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which became effective simultaneously with the Effective Time. As a consequence of filing the Restated Certificate, the Company adopted a dual class structure, comprised of the Company’s Class A common stock, which is entitled to one vote per share, and the Company’s Class B common stock, which is entitled to 20 votes per share. The Company’s Class B common stock has the same economic terms as the Company’s Class A common stock, but is subject to a “sunset” provision if Jonathan M. Rothberg, Ph.D., the founder of Legacy Butterfly and Chairman of the Company (“Dr. Rothberg”), and other permitted holders of the Company’s Class B common stock collectively cease to beneficially own at least twenty percent (20%) of the number of shares of the Company’s Class B common stock (as such number of shares is equitably adjusted in respect of any reclassification, stock dividend, subdivision, combination or recapitalization of the Company’s Class B common stock) collectively held by Dr. Rothberg and permitted transferees of the Company’s Class B common stock as of the Effective Time.
In addition, concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, on November 19, 2020, Longview entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain institutional investors (the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which the PIPE Investors purchased, immediately prior to the Closing, an aggregate of 17,500,000 shares of Longview Class A common stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “PIPE Financing”).
The total number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock outstanding immediately following the Closing was approximately 164,862,472, comprising (i) 95,633,661 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock issued to Legacy Butterfly stockholders (other than certain holders of Legacy Butterfly Series A preferred stock) and holders of Legacy Butterfly convertible notes in the Merger, (ii) 17,500,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock issued in connection with the Closing to the PIPE Investors pursuant to the PIPE Financing, (iii) 10,350,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock issued to holders of shares of Longview Class B common stock outstanding at the Effective Time and (iv) 41,378,811 shares of Longview Class A common stock outstanding at the Effective Time. The total number of shares of the Company’s Class B common stock issued at the Closing was approximately 26,426,937. Following the Closing, as of the Closing Date, Dr. Rothberg holds approximately 76.2% of the combined voting power of the Company. Accordingly, Dr. Rothberg and his permitted transferees control the Company and the Company is a controlled company within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”).
