SOCIAL CAPITAL SUVRETTA HOLDINGS CORP. IV
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on June 29, 2021, the holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and any Private Placement Shares that may be issued on conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the conversion of the Founder Shares) are entitled to registration rights requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to the Class A ordinary shares). The holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
The underwriters are entitled to a deferred underwriting commission of $7,700,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Restricted Stock Unit Award
In June 2022, pursuant to a Director Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, dated June 29, 2022, between the Company and Mr. Amin, the Company agreed to grant 30,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to Mr. Amin which grant is contingent on both the consummation of a Business Combination and a shareholder approved equity plan. The RSUs will vest upon the consummation of such Business Combination and represent 30,000 Class A ordinary shares (or, following a domestication by the Company as a Delaware corporation, shares of common stock) of the Company that will settle on a date determined in the sole discretion of the Company that shall occur between the vesting date and March 15 of the year following the year in which vesting occurs.
In September 2021, pursuant to a Director Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, dated September 24, 2021, between the Company and Steven Marc Solomon (a/k/a Steven Davidoff Solomon), the Company agreed to grant 30,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to Professor Solomon, which grant is contingent on both the consummation of a Business Combination and a shareholder approved equity plan. The RSUs will vest upon the consummation of such Business Combination and represent 30,000 Class A ordinary shares of the Company that will settle on a date determined in the sole discretion of the Company that shall occur between the vesting date and March 15 of the year following the year in which vesting occurs.
The RSUs
to be
granted by the Company are in the scope of ASC 718. Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date. The RSUs
to be
granted are subject to a performance condition (i.e., the occurrence of a Business Combination). Compensation expense related to the RSUs is recognized only when the performance condition is probable of occurrence under the applicable accounting literature in this circumstance. As of June 30, 2022, the Company did not have a shareholder approved equity plan and also determined that a Business Combination is not considered probable, and, therefore, no stock-based compensation expense has been recognized. Stock-based compensation would be recognized at the date a Business Combination is considered probable (i.e., upon consummation of a Business Combination)
and once a shareholder equity plan is approved
in an amount equal to the number of RSUs times the grant date fair value per share (unless subsequently modified).

The Company’s board of directors will be able to, without shareholder approval, issue preference shares with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the Company’s ordinary shares and could have anti-takeover effects. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.
— The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, with a par value of $0.0001 per share. At June30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 640,000 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding, excluding 25,000,000 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption which are presented as temporary equity.

Holders of record of Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by shareholders and vote together as a single class, except as required by law; provided that prior to a Business Combination, holders of Class B ordinary shares will have the right to appoint all of the Company’s directors and remove members of its board of directors for any reason, and holders of Class A ordinary shares will not be entitled to vote on the appointment of directors during such time.
The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of the Business Combination, or earlier at the option of the holder, on a
basis, subject to adjustment for share
sub-divisions,
share dividends, rights issuances, consolidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like. Additionally, in the event that additional (in excess of the amounts issued in the Initial Public Offering) Class A ordinary shares, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, the ratio at which the Class B ordinary shares will convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares agree to waive such anti-dilution adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B ordinary shares will equal, in the aggregate, 20% of the sum of the total number of Class A ordinary shares outstanding after such conversion (after giving effect to any redemptions of Class A ordinary shares by Public Shareholders, and excluding the Private Placement Shares), including any Class A ordinary shares issued or deemed issued, or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with the Business Combination, excluding any Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A ordinary shares issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the Business Combination and any private placement shares issued to the Sponsor or its affiliates upon conversion of Working Capital Loans; provided that such conversion of Class B ordinary shares will never occur on a less than
