Attached hereto as Appendix A, and incorporated herein by reference, is information concerning each director and executive officer of each Reporting Person (collectively, the “Related Persons”), which is required to be disclosed in response to Item 2 and General Instruction C to Schedule 13D.

 

(d)-(e) During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best of the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, any of the Related Persons, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and similar misdemeanors) or been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree, or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

Item 3 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

67,696,615 of the Class A Shares reported in the Original Schedule 13D as being beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons were issued to Tencent Mobility (Luxembourg) in connection with the exchange of interests in Lilium GmbH, a German limited liability company (“Lilium”),into shares of the Issuer (the “Exchange”) upon the completion of the business combination (the “Business Combination”) on September 15, 2021 (the “Closing Date”) as contemplated by that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated March 30, 2021, by and among Qell Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Qell”), Lilium, the Issuer, and Queen Cayman Merger LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco (“Merger Sub”) (as amended, the “Business Combination Agreement”). In addition, Tencent Mobility (Luxembourg) subscribed for and purchased an additional 8,500,000 Class A Shares for $85,000,000 under a Subscription Agreement entered into on March 30, 2021 (the “March 2021 Subscription Agreement”) in connection with a private placement that closed simultaneous with the Business Combination on the Closing Date (the “PIPE Financing”). The Reporting Persons provided the $85,000,000 purchase price for the private placement shares from working capital.

 

On November 2, 2022, in connection with a private placement (the “Second PIPE Financing”), Tencent Mobility(Luxembourg) entered into a securities purchase agreement with the Issuer, which was subsequently amended and restated on November 17, 2022 (as amended and restated, the “2022 Securities Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Tencent Mobility (Luxembourg) agreed to purchase, and the Issuer agreed to issue and sell, (A) 11,538,461 Class A Shares (the “Shares”) at a per share purchase price equal to $1.30 (the “Per Share Purchase Price”); and (B) a warrant to acquire 5,769,230 Class A Shares (subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms thereof) (such warrant, in substantially the form of Exhibit 7 hereto, the “2022 Warrant,” and such underlying Class A Shares, the “2022 Warrant Shares”) at a price per 2022 Warrant Share equal to the Per Share Purchase Price (subject to adjustments in accordance with the terms of the 2022 Warrant). The 2022 Warrant is exercisable on any business day prior to November 22, 2026.

 

On or around November 22, 2022, Tencent Mobility (Luxembourg) paid to the Issuer $14,999,999.30 in exchange for the Shares, and the Issuer issued to Tencent Mobility (Luxembourg) the 2022 Warrant.

 

On May 1, 2023, in connection with a capital raise for up to $250,000,000 by the Issuer (the “Capital Raise”), Aceville Pte. Limited, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Tencent (“Aceville”), entered into a securities purchase agreement with the Issuer (as amended, the “2023 Securities Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Aceville agreed to purchase, and the Issuer agreed to issue and sell, 184,210,526 warrants to acquire Class A Shares (subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms thereof) (such warrants, in substantially the form of Exhibit 10 hereto, the “2023 Warrants,” and such underlying Class A Shares, the “2023 Warrant Shares”), with each such whole 2023 Warrant initially entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Share at a price per 2023 Warrant Share equal to $1.00. (A) 130,000,000 of the 2023 Warrants are exercisable on any business day upon issuance prior to the 10 year anniversary of the date on which the 2023 Warrants were issued (the “Expiration Date”); and (B) 54,210,526 of the 2023 Warrants (the “Delayed Exercise Warrants”) will be exercisable on any business day from the date on which the Issuer shall have instructed Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation, as warrant agent, that the shareholders of the Issuer have authorized the issuance of the 2023 Warrant Shares to be issued in respect of the Delayed Exercise Warrants and prior to the Expiration Date.  On May 25, 2023, the Issuer instructed Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, that the shareholders of the Issuer have authorized the issuance of the 2023 Warrant Shares to be issued in respect of the Delayed Exercise Warrants.  The Expiration Date of the 2023 Warrants held by Aceville (and certain related parties) will, unless otherwise agreed by the Issuer and Aceville, automatically be extended by 5 years if the 2023 Warrants are not exercised prior to the 10 year anniversary.

 

At the closing of the transactions contemplated by the 2023 Securities Purchase Agreement on May 15, 2023, (A) Aceville pre-funded $100,000,000 of the total exercise price of the 2023 Warrants to the Issuer, following which the 2023 Warrants became exercisable at a price per 2023 Warrant Share equal to $0.4571; (B) Aceville is obligated to pre-fund an additional $75,000,000 towards the total exercise price of the 2023 Warrants to the Issuer, contingent upon the Issuer securing $75,000,000 in additional funding from third parties, following which the 2023 Warrants would be exercisable at a price per 2023 Warrant Share equal to $0.05; and (C) the Issuer issued to Aceville the 2023 Warrants. The 2023 Warrants will not be exercisable to the extent their exercise would result in Aceville (together with its affiliates or other similarly related persons) beneficially owning in excess of 19.8% of the outstanding voting power of the shares in the Issuer’s capital immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the 2023 Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the 2023 Warrants, unless certain governmental approvals are obtained or not required. In addition, the 2023 Warrants held by any holder will not be exercisable to the extent their exercise would result in such holder (together with its affiliates or similarly related parties) beneficially owning in excess of 19.99% of either the number of or the voting power of the ordinary shares of the Issuer immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the 2023 Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the 2023 Warrants or if certain government approvals would be required, in each case, unless certain approvals are obtained or not required (the beneficial ownership limitations described in the foregoing sentence and this sentence are referred to herein collectively as the “Beneficial Ownership Limitations”).  As a result of the Beneficial Ownership Limitations, the Reporting Persons would only be considered to be, for purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Act, beneficial owner of the 2023 Warrant Shares to the extent the 2023 Warrants are exercisable. As the Issuer issues additional class A ordinary shares or class B ordinary shares, portions of the 2023 Warrants may automatically become exercisable, up to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. As the 2023 Warrants become exercisable, the Reporting Persons will be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the 2023 Warrant Shares underlying such exercisable 2023 Warrants.  Because such 2023 Warrant Shares are treated as beneficially owned, the dilutive effect on the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership of issuances by the Issuer may be partially or fully mitigated, resulting in less or no change to the percentage of the class A ordinary shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.

The 2022 Warrant includes a provision to reduce the exercise price of the 2022 Warrant upon the Issuer’s sale of Class A Shares or securities linked to Class A Shares at an effective price below the exercise price of the 2022 Warrant. As a result, upon the issuance of the 2023 Warrants, the exercise price of the 2022 Warrant was reduced to $1.00 per 2022 Warrant Share.

 

As disclosed in the Form 6-K filed by the Issuer on July 18, 2023 (the  “July 18 6-K”), on July 13, 2023, the Issuer entered into an underwriting agreement with B. Riley Securities, Inc., which acted as the sole underwriter for the purchase and sale, in an underwritten public offering (the “Public Offering”), of the Issuer’s class A ordinary shares. Additionally, the Issuer agreed to issue to qualified investors, in a concurrent private placement (the “Private Placement” and, together with the Public Offering, the “July 2023 Capital Raise”) the Issuer’s class A ordinary shares and warrants to purchase such shares.  Also as disclosed in the July 18 6-K, on July 18, 2023, the closing of the Public Offering for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $75 million and the initial closing of the Private Placement for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $21 million occurred. On August 1, 2023, the final closing of the Private Placement for the remaining approximately $21 million occurred.

 

On July 28, 2023, Aceville pre-funded an additional $75,000,000 towards the total exercise price of the 2023 Warrants to the Issuer, as required under the 2023 Securities Purchase Agreement, following which the exercise price for the 2023 Warrants became $0.05 per 2023 Warrant Share, and exercised 20,114,455 of such 2023 Warrants (the “July 28 Exercise”). Aceville paid to the Issuer $1,005,722.75 for the July 28 Exercise. On August 2, 2023, following the final closing of the Private Placement, Aceville exercised an additional 3,893,152 of the 2023 Warrants (the “August 2 Exercise”), in compliance with the Beneficial Ownership Limitations. Aceville paid to the Issuer $194,657.60 for the August 2 Exercise.

 

Following the consummation of the aforementioned transactions (including the July 2023 Capital Raise and the exercise of the 2023 Warrants), the Reporting Persons will beneficially own 117,511,913 Class A Shares, including the 2022 Warrant Shares.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Business Combination Agreement, the March 2021 Subscription Agreement, the 2022 Securities Purchase Agreement, the 2022 Warrant, the 2023 Securities Purchase Agreement and the 2023 Warrants do not purport to be complete descriptions of the terms thereof and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Business Combination Agreement, the March 2021 Subscription Agreement, the 2022 Securities Purchase Agreement, the 2022 Warrant, the 2023 Securities Purchase Agreement and the 2023 Warrants, respectively. A copy of the March 2021 Subscription Agreement is filed as Exhibit 4 to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated by reference in this Item 3.

The second paragraph of Item 4 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

David Wallerstein is a member of the Board of Directors of the Issuer and is also Chief eXploration Officer and Senior Executive Vice President of Tencent. As disclosed in the Issuer’s Form 20-F filed on March 28, 2023, David Wallerstein is deemed to beneficially own 1,746,540 class A ordinary shares (including 1,515,771 class A ordinary shares and 230,769 Class A Shares underlying a warrant, acquired in the Second PIPE Financing).  On July 18, 2023, pursuant to a securities purchase agreement with the Issuer (the “PIPE SPA”) in the form filed as Exhibit 12 to this Schedule 13D, David Wallerstein acquired 384,615 class A ordinary shares and warrants, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 13, to purchase 96,154 class A ordinary shares in the Private Placement for an aggregate purchase price of $499,999.50 (on the same terms as other investors in the Private Placement).  In connection therewith, Mr. Wallerstein entered into a Director and Officer Lock-up Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 14.  Each of the Reporting Persons expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of any of the Class A Shares beneficially owned by David Wallerstein.

 

Item 5(a) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

(a)       See responses to Item 13 on the cover pages of this filing and the second paragraph of Item 4 of this Schedule 13D, which are incorporated herein by reference.

 

The Reporting Persons beneficially own, in the aggregate, 117,511,913 Class A Shares. The Reporting Persons’ aggregate beneficial ownership percentage is approximately 23.5% of the outstanding Class A Shares. Calculations of the percentage of the Class A Shares beneficially owned is based on the denominator being the sum of (i) 471,010,184 Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding as of August 1, 2023, as disclosed in the Report on Form 6-K filed by the Issuer on July 18, 2023, as a result of the July 2023 Capital Raise, (ii) 5,769,230 Class A Shares issuable to Tencent Mobility (Luxembourg) upon the exercise of warrants issued to Tencent Mobility (Luxembourg) in connection with the closing of the Second PIPE Financing, and (iii) 24,007,607 Class A Ordinary Shares held by Aceville and not part of the July 2023 Capital Raise.

 

As a result of the Beneficial Ownership Limitations, the Reporting Persons would only be considered to be, for purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Act, beneficial owner of the 2023 Warrant Shares to the extent the 2023 Warrants are exercisable. As the Issuer issues additional class A ordinary shares or class B ordinary shares, portions of the 2023 Warrants may automatically become exercisable, up to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. As the 2023 Warrants become exercisable, the Reporting Persons will be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the 2023 Warrant Shares underlying such exercisable 2023 Warrants.  Because such 2023 Warrant Shares are treated as beneficially owned, the dilutive effect on the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership of issuances by the Issuer may be partially or fully mitigated, resulting in less or no change to the percentage of the of the class A ordinary shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.

 

Item 5(c) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

(c)       The information provided in the second paragraph of Item 4 is hereby incorporated by reference herein.

The Reporting Persons are part of an affiliated group of entities under common control with Tencent and have an informal understanding that they will coordinate on the holding, voting and disposition of the class A ordinary shares held by the Reporting Persons.
