Merger Agreement

This section describes the material provisions of the Merger Agreement (as defined below), but does not purport to describe all of the terms thereof. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1. Shareholders of Galileo Acquisition Corp. and other interested parties are urged to read the Merger Agreement in its entirety. Unless otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used below have the meanings given to them in the Merger Agreement.

General Terms and Effects; Merger Consideration

On April 28, 2021, Galileo Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Galileo”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Shapeways, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Shapeways”), Galileo Acquisition Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Galileo (“Merger Sub”), Galileo Founders Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Sponsor”), in the capacity as the representative of the stockholders of Galileo (other than the Shapeways security holders) from and after the closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction”) (in such capacity, the “Purchaser Representative”), and Fortis Advisors LLC, in the capacity as the representative of the Shapeways security holders from and after the Closing of the Transaction (in such capacity, the “Seller Representative”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, (i) prior to the Closing, Galileo will continue out of the Cayman Islands and into the State of Delaware to re-domicile and become a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”) and (ii) at the Closing of the Transaction, and following the Domestication and the PIPE Investment (defined below), Merger Sub will merge with and into Shapeways (the “Merger”), with Shapeways continuing as the surviving entity and wholly-owned subsidiary of Galileo, and with each Shapeways stockholder receiving shares of Galileo common stock at the Closing (as further described below). Simultaneously with entering into the Merger Agreement, Galileo entered into Subscription Agreements (as defined below) with investors (“PIPE Investors”) to purchase a total of 7.5 million shares of Galileo common stock in a private equity investment (“PIPE”) in Galileo at $10.00 per share with aggregate gross proceeds to Galileo of $75,000,000. The PIPE Investors include certain existing Shapeways stockholders and a strategic investor that has entered into a commercial relationship with Shapeways.

The total consideration received by Shapeways security holders from Galileo at the Closing will have an aggregate value equal to $406,000,000 (the “Merger Consideration”), payable, in the case of Shapeways stockholders, solely in new shares of Galileo common stock and, in the case of other Shapeways security holders, in new shares of Galileo common stock and/or securities convertible into or exercisable for new shares of Galileo common stock. The Merger Consideration deliverable to Shapeways stockholders will be allocated pro rata after giving effect to the required conversion of all of the outstanding shares of Shapeways preferred stock into shares of Shapeways common stock immediately prior to, and contingent upon, the Closing.

After the Closing, shares of Galileo common stock representing 10% of the Merger Consideration will be subject to vesting and forfeiture conditions based upon the VWAP trading price of Galileo common stock reaching targets of $14.00 and $16.00, respectively (with 50% released at each target) for a period of 30 consecutive trading days during the three-year period after the Closing (the “Earnout Terms”), with the portion of such shares that would otherwise be deliverable to Shapeways stockholders at the Closing being withheld from payment and deposited into escrow pursuant to a mutually agreeable escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”). A pro rata portion of the 10% Merger Consideration earnout will also be allocated to Shapeways options and warrants that are exchanged for options and warrants (as applicable) for shares of Galileo at the Closing (as described below).

Shapeways options issued pursuant to Shapeways’ 2010 Stock Plan that are not exercised prior to the Closing will be assumed by Galileo and converted, subject to adjustments, into options exercisable for shares of Galileo common stock and, in the case of in-the-money Shapeways options, a right to receive an award of restricted stock units denominated in shares of Galileo common stock that are subject to the Earnout Terms and to service-based vesting and forfeiture restrictions. Shapeways warrants that are not exercised prior to the Closing will be assumed by Galileo and converted into warrants exercisable for shares of Galileo common stock and, in the case of in-the-money Shapeways warrants, warrants exercisable for shares of Galileo common stock that are subject to the vesting and forfeiture restrictions included in the Earnout Terms. Prior to the Closing, outstanding Shapeways convertible notes will be converted into shares of Shapeways preferred stock, which will then be converted into shares of Shapeways common stock prior to the Closing.

Representations and Warranties

The Merger Agreement contains a number of representations and warranties made by each of Galileo and Shapeways as of the date of the Merger Agreement or other specified dates. Certain of the representations and warranties are qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect (as hereinafter defined), as well as information provided in the disclosure schedules to the Merger Agreement. As used in the Merger Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means, with respect to any specified person or entity, any fact, event, occurrence, change or effect that has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect upon (i) the business, assets, Liabilities, results of operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of such person or entity and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (ii) the ability of such person or entity or any of its subsidiaries on a timely basis to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the ancillary documents relating to the Merger Agreement to which such person or entity is a party or bound or to perform the obligations of such person or entity thereunder, in each case, subject to certain customary exceptions.

No Survival

The representations and warranties of the parties contained in the Merger Agreement terminate as of, and do not survive, the Closing, and there are no indemnification rights for another party’s breach. The covenants and agreements of the parties contained in the Merger Agreement do not survive the Closing, except those covenants and agreements to be performed after the Closing, which covenants and agreements will survive until fully performed.

Covenants of the Parties

Each party agreed in the Merger Agreement to use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the Closing. The Merger Agreement also contains certain customary covenants by each of the parties during the period between the signing of the Merger Agreement and the earlier of the Closing or the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms (the “Interim Period”), including those relating to: (i) the provision of access to their properties, books and personnel; (ii) the operation of their respective businesses in the ordinary course of business; (iii) the provision of financial statements by Shapeways to Galileo; (iv) Galileo’s public filings; (v) no insider trading; (vi) notifications of certain breaches, consent requirements or other matters; (vii) efforts to consummate the Closing; (viii) tax matters; (ix) further assurances; (x) public announcements; and (xi) confidentiality. Each party also agreed during the Interim Period not to solicit or enter into any inquiry, proposal or offer, or any indication of interest in making an offer or proposal for an alternative competing transactions, to notify the others as promptly as practicable in writing of the receipt of any inquiries, proposals or offers, requests for information or requests relating to an alternative competing transaction or any requests for non-public information relating to such transaction, and to keep the other party informed of the status of any such inquiries, proposals, offers or requests for information. During the Interim Period, Galileo will use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy the conditions of the Subscription Agreements with PIPE Investors and Galileo may, but is not obligated to, enter into additional subscription agreements with PIPE Investors, subject to Shapeways’ prior written consent, in the event that any such additional subscription agreements contain terms materially less favorable to Galileo or to Shapeways than the terms of the Subscription Agreements with existing PIPE Investors. The Merger Agreement also contains certain customary post-Closing covenants regarding (a) maintenance of books and records; (b) indemnification of directors and officers and the purchase of tail directors’ and officers’ liability insurance; and (c) use of trust account proceeds.

In addition, Shapeways agreed to obtain its required stockholder approvals in the manner required under its organizational documents and applicable law for, among other things, the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement, Ancillary Documents and the Transaction, and agreed to enforce the Voting Agreements (as defined and described below) in connection therewith.

The parties made customary covenants regarding the registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed by Galileo (the “Registration Statement”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to register the common stock of Galileo upon Domestication and the shares of Galileo common stock to be issued as Merger Consideration under the Merger Agreement. The Registration Statement also will contain the Galileo proxy statement to solicit proxies from Galileo’s shareholders to approve, among other things, (i) the Merger Agreement and the Transaction, including the Merger (including, to the extent required, the issuance of shares of Galileo common stock to the PIPE Investors); (ii) the Domestication; (iii) changing the name of Galileo and adopting new Galileo organizational documents; (iv) the adoption of a new equity incentive plan and issuing certain Galileo restricted securities thereunder; (v) the adoption of a new employee stock purchase plan; (vi) the appointment of the post-Closing board of directors; and (vii) the amendment of the Share Escrow Agreement to reduce the lock-up thereunder to match the period in the Lock-Up Agreement that was signed by certain Shapeways security holders at the time of the Merger Agreement as described below.

The parties agreed that the post-Closing board of directors will consist of seven directors, consisting of four directors designated prior to the Closing by Shapeways, all but one of whom will be considered independent under the requirements of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), two directors designated prior to the Closing by Galileo, both of whom will be considered independent under the requirements of NYSE, and one additional independent director (under NYSE requirements) mutually agreed by Shapeways and Galileo; provided, however, that the composition of the post-Closing board of directors will consist of three classes, with each director serving a three year term after its initial staggered post-Closing term, with the directors designated by Galileo serving in the second class. The parties further agreed to take commercially reasonable actions so that the individuals serving as the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of Shapeways immediately after the Closing will be the same individuals (in the same office) as that of Shapeways immediately prior to the Closing (unless, at its sole discretion, Shapeways desires to appoint another qualified person to either such role, in which case, such other person identified by Shapeways will serve in such role).

Prior to the Closing, (i) Shapeways and certain mutually agreeable persons will enter into employment agreements (the “Key Employee Employment Agreements”), in each case effective as of the Closing, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Shapeways and Galileo, (ii) Galileo and certain Shapeways stockholders who will be affiliates of Galileo after the Closing will enter into a mutually agreeable form of registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), (iii) Shapeways will allocate certain restricted stock unit awards denominated in shares of Galileo common stock, not to exceed 410,000 shares, to be granted after the Closing to certain Shapeways employees and (iv) Galileo, the Sponsor, and the underwriter of Galileo’s initial public offering will amend their existing registration rights agreement (the “Founder Registration Rights Agreement”) to make the registration rights thereunder generally pari passu with the registration rights of the Shapeways stockholders who are party to the Registration Rights Agreement.

In addition, unless waived by Shapeways, the obligations of Shapeways to consummate the Transaction are subject to the satisfaction of the following additional Closing conditions, in addition to the delivery by Galileo of customary certificates and other Closing deliverables: (i) the representations and warranties of Galileo being true and correct as of the date of the Closing, except to the extent made as of a particular date (subject to certain materiality qualifiers); (ii) Galileo having performed in all material respects its obligations and complied in all material respects with its covenants and agreements under the Merger Agreement required to be performed or complied with by it on or prior to the date of the Closing; (iii) the absence of any Material Adverse Effect with respect to Galileo since the date of the Merger Agreement which is continuing and uncured; (iv) Galileo having, at the Closing, at least $100,000,000 in cash and cash equivalents, including funds remaining in the trust account (after giving effect to the completion and payment of any redemptions) and the proceeds of any PIPE Investment, prior to paying any of Galileo’s expenses and liabilities due at the Closing; (v) execution of the Escrow Agreement; (vi) execution of the Registration Rights Agreement, (vii) the Founder Registration Rights Agreement having been amended and (viii) the Sponsor having forfeited the shares set forth in the Sponsor Forfeiture Letter in accordance with its terms.

Shapeways and Merger Sub each agreed that they and their affiliates will not have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in Galileo’s trust account held for its public stockholders, and agreed not to, and waived any right to, make any claim against the trust account (including any distributions therefrom) other than in connection with the Closing.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains, and certain oral statements made by representatives of Galileo and Shapeways and their respective affiliates, from time to time may contain, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Galileo’s and Shapeways’ actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “might” and “continues,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, Galileo’s and Shapeways’ expectations with respect to future performance of Shapeways, anticipated financial impacts of the Transaction, the anticipated addressable market for Shapeways, the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the Transaction, the pre-money valuation of Shapeways (which is subject to certain inputs that may change prior to the closing of the Transaction and is subject to adjustment after the closing of the Transaction), and the timing of the closing of the Transaction. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results. Most of these factors are outside the control of Galileo and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; (2) a default by one or more of the investors in the PIPE on its commitment, and Galileo's failure to retain sufficient cash in its trust account or find replacement financing in order to meet the $100,000,000 minimum cash condition in the Merger Agreement; (3) the inability to consummate the Transaction, including due to failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of Galileo or other conditions to the closing in the Merger Agreement; (4) delays in obtaining or the inability to obtain any necessary regulatory approvals required to complete the Transaction; (5) the inability to obtain or maintain the listing of Galileo’s securities on NYSE following the Transaction; (6) the risk that the Transaction disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Transaction; (7) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Transaction, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of Shapeways to grow and manage growth economically and hire and retain key employees; (8) costs related to the Transaction; (9) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (10) the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on Galileo or Shapeways and their ability to consummate the Transaction; (11) the possibility that Galileo or Shapeways may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; and (12) other risks and uncertainties to be identified in the registration/proxy statement (when available) relating to the Transaction, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and in other filings with the SEC made by Galileo or Shapeways. Galileo and Shapeways caution that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive, and caution readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. None of Galileo or Shapeways undertakes or accepts any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based, subject to applicable law.

Readers are referred to the most recent reports filed with the SEC by Galileo. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and Galileo undertakes no obligation to update or revise the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
