DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
General
The following description summarizes some of the terms of our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “certificate of incorporation”), our amended and restated bylaws (the “bylaws”), the Certificate of Designation of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of Owlet, Inc. filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on February 17, 2023 (the “Series A Preferred Certificate of Designation”), the Certificate of Designation of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of Owlet, Inc. filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on February 29, 2024 (the “Series B Preferred Certificate of Designation”) and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). This description is summarized from, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, our certificate of incorporation, bylaws, the Series A Preferred Certificate of Designation and the Series B Preferred Certificate of Designation, each of which has been publicly filed with the SEC, as well as the relevant provisions of the DGCL.
Our purpose is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the DGCL. Our authorized capital stock consists of 107,142,857 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), and 10,741,071 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. As of the date of this prospectus, we have 37,000 shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding, 27,750 shares of which are designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”) and 9,250 of which are designated as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Series B Preferred Stock”). Unless our board of directors (the “Board”) determines otherwise, we will issue all shares of our capital stock in uncertificated form.
Common Stock
Voting Rights
Holders of shares of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. The holders of Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. The holders of a majority of the voting power of the capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business except as otherwise required by law or provided by our certificate of incorporation. If, however, such quorum will not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the holders of a majority of the voting power present in person or represented by proxy, will have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum will be present or represented.
Dividend Rights
Declaration and payment of any dividend is subject to the discretion of the Board. The time and amount of dividends will be dependent upon, among other things, our business prospects, results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements and availability, debt repayment obligations, capital expenditure needs, contractual restrictions, covenants in the agreements governing current and future indebtedness, industry trends, the provisions of Delaware law affecting the payment of dividends and distributions to stockholders and any other factors or considerations the Board may regard as relevant.
Liquidation, Dissolution and Winding Up
Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs, whether voluntary or involuntary, after payment or provision for payment of our debts and any other payments required by law and amounts payable upon shares of preferred stock ranking senior to the shares of Common Stock upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up, if any, our remaining net assets will be distributed to the holders of shares of Common Stock upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up, pro rata on a per share basis.
Other Matters
Holders of our Common Stock do not have preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. There are no redemption provisions or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Common Stock. The rights, powers, preferences and privileges of holders of the Common Stock are subject to those of the holders of any shares of our preferred stock that the Board may authorize and issue in the future.
Preferred Stock
Under the terms of our certificate of incorporation, the Board has the authority to issue shares of preferred stock from time to time on terms it may determine, to divide shares of preferred stock into one or more series and to fix the designations, preferences, privileges, and restrictions of preferred stock, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preference and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of any series to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.
The purpose of authorizing the Board to issue preferred stock and determine its rights and preferences is to eliminate delays associated with a stockholder vote on specific issuances. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions, future financings and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or could discourage a third party from seeking to acquire, a majority of the outstanding voting stock. Additionally, the issuance of preferred stock may adversely affect the holders of Common Stock by restricting dividends on the Common Stock, diluting the voting power of the Common Stock or subordinating the liquidation rights of the Common Stock. As a result of these or other factors, the issuance of preferred stock could have an adverse impact on the market price of the Common Stock.
Series A Preferred Stock
On February 17, 2023 (the “Series A Closing Date”), we issued an aggregate of 30,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Shares”). The conversion rate is currently 145.7726 shares of Common Stock per Series A Preferred Share (the “Series A Conversion Rate”). Each Series A Preferred Share has the powers, designations, preferences and other rights as are set forth in the Series A Preferred Certificate of Designation.
Ranking and Dividends
The Series A Preferred Shares rank (i) equal to the Series B Preferred Shares and (ii) senior to the Common Stock with respect to dividend rights, rights of redemption and rights upon a liquidation event. The Series A Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $1,000.00 per share (the “Series A Liquidation Preference”). We have agreed not to declare, pay or set aside any dividends on shares of Common Stock unless the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares then outstanding first receive, or simultaneously receive, a dividend on each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock in an amount at least equal to the product of (i) the dividend payable on each share of Common Stock multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a share of Series A Preferred Share to Common Stock thereunder, in each case calculated on the record date for determination of holders entitled to receive such dividend.
Conversion and Redemption
The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock at the option of the holder at any time subsequent to the Series A Closing Date. The number of shares issuable upon conversion is determined by the number of Series A Preferred Shares so converted multiplied by the Series A Conversion Rate. Cash will be paid in lieu of any fractional shares based on the closing market price of the Common Stock on the conversion date. The Series A Conversion Rate is subject to adjustment for customary anti-dilution protections, including for stock dividends, splits, and combinations, rights offerings, spin-offs, distributions of cash or other property (to the extent not participating on an as-converted basis) and above market self-tender or exchange offers. At any time from and after the five-year anniversary of the Series A Closing Date, the holders of at least a majority of the then-outstanding Series A Preferred Shares may specify a date and time or the occurrence of an event by vote or written consent that all, and not less than all, outstanding Series A Preferred Shares will automatically be: (i) converted into shares of
Common Stock at the Series A Conversion Rate, (ii) subject to certain exceptions and limitations, redeemed for an amount per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the Series A Liquidation Preference plus all accrued or declared but unpaid dividends as of the redemption date and time or (iii) a combination of the foregoing. Subject to certain exceptions, upon the occurrence of a fundamental change, voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, we will be required to pay an amount per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the greater of (i) $1,000.00 per share or (ii) the consideration per share of Series A Preferred Stock as would have been payable had all Series A Preferred Shares been converted to Common Stock immediately prior to the liquidation event, plus, in each case, the aggregate amount of all declared but unpaid dividends thereon to the date of final distribution to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock.
Voting and Consent Rights
Pursuant to the Series A Preferred Certificate of Designation, holders of Series A Preferred Shares are entitled to vote on an as-converted basis with the Common Stock at any annual or special meeting of our stockholders, and not as a separate class, except as required by Delaware law. Additionally, for so long as any Series A Preferred Shares remain outstanding, we will be prohibited, without the consent of the holders of at least a majority of the Series A Preferred Shares, from taking various corporate actions, including:
•creating, authorizing or issuing any additional Series A Preferred Shares or shares which rank senior to or on parity with the Series A Preferred Shares;
•amending, waiving or repealing the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series A Preferred Shares;
•increasing or decreasing the authorized number of Series A Preferred Shares;
•exchanging, reclassifying or canceling the Series A Preferred Shares (except as contemplated by the Series A Preferred Certificate of Designation);
•declaring or paying any dividend on, or making any distribution to, or repurchasing any shares of Common Stock or other securities that rank junior to the Series A Preferred Shares, subject to certain exceptions;
•incurring any indebtedness other than Permitted Indebtedness (as defined in the Series A Preferred Certificate of Designation); and
•creating, adopting, amending, terminating or repealing any equity (or equity-linked) compensation or incentive plan or increase the amount or number of equity securities reserved for issuance thereunder if the New York Stock Exchange would require stockholder approval of such action; provided that our 2021 Incentive Award Plan (the “2021 Plan”) and any automatic annual increases pursuant to the 2021 Plan shall not require approval.
Series B Preferred Stock
On February 29, 2024 (the “Series B Closing Date”), we issued an aggregate of 9,250 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Shares”). The conversion rate is initially 129.6596 shares of Common Stock per Series B Preferred Share (the “Series B Conversion Rate”). Each Series B Preferred Share has the powers, designations, preferences and other rights as are set forth in the Series B Preferred Certificate of Designation.
Ranking and Dividends
The Series B Preferred Stock ranks, with respect to dividend rights, rights of redemption and rights upon a liquidation event, (i) equal to the Series A Preferred Shares and (ii) senior to the Common Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $1,000.00 per share (the “Series B Liquidation Preference”). We have agreed not to declare, pay or set aside any dividends on shares of Common Stock unless the holders of the Series B Preferred Shares then outstanding first receive, or simultaneously receive, a dividend on each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Share in an amount at least equal to the product of (i) the dividend payable on each share of Common Stock multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a share of
Series B Preferred Share to Common Stock thereunder, in each case calculated on the record date for determination of holders entitled to receive such dividend.
Conversion and Redemption
The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock at the option of the holder at any time subsequent to the Series B Closing Date. The number of shares issuable upon conversion is determined by the number of Series B Preferred Shares so converted multiplied by the Series B Conversion Rate. Cash will be paid in lieu of any fractional shares based on the closing market price of the Common Stock on the conversion date. The Series B Conversion Rate is subject to adjustment for customary anti-dilution protections, including for stock dividends, splits, and combinations, rights offerings, spin-offs, distributions of cash or other property (to the extent not participating on an as-converted basis) and above market self-tender or exchange offers. At any time from and after the five-year anniversary of the Series B Closing Date, the holders of at least a majority of the then-outstanding Series B Preferred Shares may specify a date and time or the occurrence of an event by vote or written consent that all, and not less than all, outstanding Series B Preferred Shares will automatically be: (i) converted into shares of Common Stock at the Series B Conversion Rate, (ii) subject to certain exceptions and limitations, redeemed for an amount per share of Series B Preferred Stock equal to the Series B Liquidation Preference plus all accrued or declared but unpaid dividends as of the redemption date and time or (iii) a combination of the foregoing. Subject to certain exceptions, upon the occurrence of a fundamental change, voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, we will be required to pay an amount per share of Series B Preferred Stock equal to the greater of (i) $1,000.00 per share or (ii) the consideration per share of Series B Preferred Stock as would have been payable had all Series B Preferred Shares been converted to Common Stock immediately prior to the liquidation event, plus, in each case, the aggregate amount of all declared but unpaid dividends thereon to the date of final distribution to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock.
The Series B Preferred Certificate of Designation includes certain provisions that prevent Eclipse (as defined below) from converting its Series B Preferred Shares to the extent such action would result in Eclipse beneficially owning in excess of 48.9% of our outstanding Common Stock or Total Voting Power (as defined in the Series B Preferred Certificate of Designation) (the “Individual Holder Share Cap”), provided that such Individual Holder Share Cap is subject to removal at Eclipse’s sole discretion upon written notice to us, provided that any increase or removal of such Individual Holder Share Cap will not be effective before the sixty-first (61st) day after such written notice.
Voting and Consent Rights
Pursuant to the Series B Preferred Certificate of Designation, holders of Series B Preferred Shares are entitled to vote on an as-converted basis with the Common Stock at any annual or special meeting of our stockholders, and not as a separate class, except as required by Delaware law. Additionally, for so long as any Series B Preferred Shares remain outstanding, we will be prohibited, without the consent of the holders of at least a majority of the Series B Preferred Shares, from taking various corporate actions, including:
•creating, authorizing or issuing any additional Series B Preferred Shares or shares which rank senior to or on parity with the Series B Preferred Shares;
•amending, waiving or repealing the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series B Preferred Shares;
•increasing or decreasing the authorized number of Series B Preferred Shares;
•exchanging, reclassifying or canceling the Series B Preferred Shares (except as contemplated by the Series B Preferred Certificate of Designation);
•declaring or paying any dividend on, or making any distribution to, or repurchasing any shares of Common Stock or other securities that rank junior to the Series B Preferred Shares, subject to certain exceptions;
•incurring any indebtedness other than Permitted Indebtedness (as defined in the Series B Preferred Certificate of Designation); and
•creating, adopting, amending, terminating or repealing any equity (or equity-linked) compensation or incentive plan or increase the amount or number of equity securities reserved for issuance thereunder if the New York Stock Exchange would require stockholder approval of such action; provided that the 2021 Plan and any automatic annual increases pursuant to the 2021 Plan shall not require approval.
Authorized but Unissued Capital Stock
Delaware law does not require stockholder approval for any issuance of authorized shares. However, the listing requirements of the NYSE, which would apply if and so long as our Common Stock remains listed on the NYSE, require stockholder approval of certain issuances equal to or exceeding 20% of the then outstanding voting power or then outstanding number of shares of Common Stock and certain other issuances specified in the rules of the NYSE. Additional shares that may be issued in the future may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings, to raise additional capital, or to facilitate acquisitions.
One of the effects of the existence of unissued and unreserved Common Stock may be to enable the Board to issue shares to persons friendly to current management, which issuance could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise and thereby protect the continuity of management and possibly deprive stockholders of opportunities to sell their shares of Common Stock at prices higher than prevailing market prices.
The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved Common Stock and preferred stock could make more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us.
Anti-takeover Effects of Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that may delay, defer or discourage another party from acquiring control of us. We expect that these provisions, which are summarized below, will discourage coercive takeover practices or inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with the Board, which we believe may result in an improvement of the terms of any such acquisition in favor of our stockholders. However, they also give the Board the power to discourage acquisitions that some stockholders may favor.
Classified Board of Directors
As indicated below, our certificate of incorporation provides that the Board is divided into three classes of directors, with each class of directors being elected by our stockholders every three years. The classification of directors will have the effect of making it more difficult for stockholders to change the composition of the Board.
Special Meeting, Action by Written Consent and Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals
Unless otherwise required by law, and subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of preferred stock, special meetings of our stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, may be called only by or at the direction of (i) a majority of the Board, (ii) the chairperson of the Board, (iii) the Chief Executive Officer or (iv) the President. Unless otherwise required by law, written notice of a special meeting of stockholders, stating the time, place and purpose or purposes thereof, shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting, not less than 10 or more than 60 days before the date fixed for the meeting. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders will be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.
In addition, our bylaws require advance notice procedures for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of the stockholders, including the nomination of directors. Stockholders at an annual meeting may only consider the proposals specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board, or by a stockholder of record on the record date for the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has delivered a timely written notice in proper form to our secretary, of the stockholder’s intention to bring such business before the meeting.
These provisions could have the effect of delaying until the next stockholder meeting any stockholder actions, even if such actions are favored by the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting securities.
Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
The DGCL provides generally that the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding stock entitled to vote on amendments to a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws is required to approve such amendment, unless a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, as the case may be, requires a greater percentage.
Our certificate of incorporation provides that the following provisions therein may be amended, altered, repealed or rescinded only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 and 2/3% in voting power of all the then outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote thereon as a class:
•the provisions regarding our preferred stock;
•the provisions regarding the size, classification, appointment, removal and authority of the Board;
•the provisions prohibiting stockholder actions without a meeting;
•the provisions regarding calling special meetings of stockholders;
•the provisions regarding the selection of certain forums for certain specified legal proceedings between us and our stockholders; and
•the provisions regarding the limited liability of our directors.
Our bylaws may be amended or repealed (A) by the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire Board then in office (subject to any bylaw requiring the affirmative vote of a larger percentage of the members of the Board) or (B) without the approval of the Board, by the affirmative vote of the holders of 66 and 2/3% of our outstanding voting stock entitled to vote generally in an election of directors, voting together as a single class.
Business Combinations
Section 203 of the DGCL provides that if a person acquires 15% or more of the voting stock of a Delaware corporation, such person becomes an “interested stockholder” and may not engage in certain “business combinations” with the corporation for a period of three years from the time such person acquired 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock, unless:
1.the board of directors approves the acquisition of stock or the merger transaction before the time that the person becomes an interested stockholder;
2.the interested stockholder owns at least 85% of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at the time the merger transaction commences (excluding voting stock owned by directors who are also officers and certain employee stock plans); or
3.the merger transaction is approved by the board of directors and at a meeting of stockholders, not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of 2/3 of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.
A Delaware corporation may elect in its certificate of incorporation or bylaws not to be governed by this particular Delaware law.
Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to certain exceptions, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with that person’s affiliates and associates, owns, or within the previous three years owned, 15% or more of our voting stock.
Since we have not opted out of Section 203 of the DGCL, it applies to us. As a result, this provision will make it more difficult for a person who would be an “interested stockholder” to effect various business combinations with us for a three-year period. This provision may encourage companies interested in acquiring us to negotiate in advance with the Board because the stockholder approval requirement would be avoided if the Board approves either the
business combination or the transaction which results in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder. These provisions also may have the effect of preventing changes in the Board and may make it more difficult to accomplish transactions which stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.
Election of Directors and Vacancies
The number of directors of the Board shall be fixed solely and exclusively by resolution duly adopted from time to time by the Board. The Board is divided into three classes, designated Class I, II and III, each class of directors will be elected by our stockholders every three years. The Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, dated as of February 17, 2023 (the “Stockholders Agreement”), by and among us, Eclipse Ventures Fund I, L.P., Eclipse Continuity Fund I, L.P. and Eclipse Early Growth Fund I (together, “Eclipse”) also provides that, (a) until such time as Eclipse beneficially owns less than 20.0% of the total voting power entitled to elect directors, Eclipse shall be entitled to nominate two individuals (the “Eclipse Directors” and each, an “Eclipse Director”) and (b) from such time that Eclipse beneficially owns less than 20.0% of the total voting power entitled to elect directors and until Eclipse beneficially owns less than 10.0% of the total voting power entitled to elect directors, Eclipse will be entitled to nominate one Eclipse Director and, we will include the nominee selected by Eclipse as a director nominee in our proxy statement for our annual meeting each time directors from the class to which such nominee is assigned are up for election.
Under the bylaws, at all meetings of stockholders that call for the election of directors, a plurality of the votes properly cast will be sufficient to elect such directors to the Board.
Except as the DGCL or the Stockholders Agreement may otherwise require and subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of preferred stock, in the interim between annual meetings of stockholders or special meetings of stockholders called for the election of directors and/or the removal of one or more directors and the filling of any vacancy in that connection, newly created directorships and any vacancies on the Board, including unfilled vacancies resulting from the removal of directors, may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. All directors will hold office until the expiration of their respective terms of office and until their successors will have been elected and qualified. A director elected or appointed to fill a vacancy resulting from the death, resignation or removal of a director or a newly created directorship will serve for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the new directorship was created or the vacancy occurred and until his or her successor will have been elected and qualified.
Subject to the Stockholders Agreement and the rights, if any, of any series of preferred stock, any director may be removed from office only with cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of our outstanding voting stock then entitled to vote at an election of directors. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Stockholders Agreement, in case the Board or any one or more directors should be so removed, new directors may be elected at the same time for the unexpired portion of the full term of the director or directors so removed.
In addition to the powers and authorities hereinbefore or by statute expressly conferred upon them, the directors are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by us, subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation and to any bylaws adopted and
in effect from time to time; provided, however, that no bylaws so adopted will invalidate any prior act of the directors which would have been valid if such bylaws had not been adopted.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, any director elected pursuant to the right, if any, of the holders of preferred stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances will serve for such term or terms and pursuant to such other provisions as specified in the relevant certificate of designations related to the preferred stock.
Exclusive Jurisdiction of Certain Actions
Our bylaws require, to the fullest extent permitted by law, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, that derivative actions brought on our behalf, actions against any of our directors, officers or stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty, actions asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or
our certificate of incorporation or bylaws, and actions asserting a claim against us governed by the internal affairs doctrine may be brought only in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and, if brought outside of Delaware, the stockholder bringing the suit will be deemed to have consented to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State of Delaware and service of process on such stockholder’s counsel. Although we believe this provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies, the provision may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors and officers.
Section 22 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Accordingly, both state and federal courts have jurisdiction to entertain such Securities Act claims. To prevent having to litigate claims in multiple jurisdictions and the threat of inconsistent or contrary rulings by different courts, among other considerations, our bylaws require that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving any action asserting a claim arising under the Securities Act and, if brought in a court other than the federal district courts of the United States of America, the stockholder bringing the suit will be deemed to have consented to the personal jurisdiction of the federal district courts of the United States of America and service of process on such stockholder’s counsel. However, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such provision, and investors cannot waive compliance with federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.
The foregoing provisions will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts of the United States have exclusive jurisdiction. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.
Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Our certificate of incorporation limits the liability of our directors to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, and our bylaws provide that we will indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by such law. We have entered into agreements to indemnify our directors, executive officers and other employees as determined by the Board. Under the terms of such indemnification agreements, we are required to indemnify each of our directors and officers, to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware, if the indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner the indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests. We must indemnify our officers and directors against all reasonable fees, expenses, charges and other costs of any type or nature whatsoever, including any and all expenses and obligations paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in, participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to defend, be a witness or participate in any completed, actual, pending or threatened action, suit, claim or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, or establishing or enforcing a right to indemnification under the indemnification agreement. The indemnification agreements also require us, if so requested, to advance within 30 days of such request all reasonable fees, expenses, charges and other costs that such director or officer incurred, provided that such person will return any such advance if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification by us. Any claims for indemnification by our directors and officers may reduce our available funds to satisfy successful third-party claims against us and may reduce the amount of money available to us.
Trading Symbol and Market
Our Common Stock is listed on NYSE under the symbol “OWLT.”

On July 15, 2021, we entered into the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement with certain of the Registered Holders, which governs certain registration rights of certain Registered Holders.
The following table and footnote disclosure following the table sets forth information concerning the shares of Common Stock that may be offered from time to time by each Registered Holder, the nature of any position, office or other material relationship, if any, that each Registered Holder has had within the past three years with us or with any of our predecessors or affiliates and the number of shares of our Common Stock beneficially owned by each Registered Holder before this offering. The number of shares beneficially owned by each Registered Holder is determined under rules issued by the SEC. Under these rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the Registered Holder has sole or shared voting power or investment power. Percentage ownership is based on 9,047,883 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 19, 2024. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a Registered Holder and their percentage ownership, shares of Common Stock subject to options, warrants or other rights held by such Registered Holder that are currently exercisable or will become exercisable within 60 days of April 19, 2024 are considered outstanding, although these shares are not considered outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other Registered Holder. For purposes of this table, we have assumed that the Registered Holders will have sold all of the securities covered by this prospectus upon the completion of the offering (including all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants). Each of the Registered Holders listed has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares beneficially owned by the Registered Holder unless noted otherwise.
The information in the following table has been provided to us by or on behalf of the Registered Holders and the Registered Holders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of all or a portion of their securities after
the date on which they provided us with information regarding their securities. A Registered Holder may sell all, some or none of its securities in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Registered Holders may from time to time offer some or all of the shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus. To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended and supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution. The Registered Holders will not pay any of the costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the shares covered by this prospectus, but they will pay any and all underwriting discounts, selling commissions and similar charges attributable to sales of the shares. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of Common Stock covered hereby. To the extent warrants are exercised for cash, we will receive the exercise price thereof. The Registered Holders may sell some or all of the shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus from time to time or may decide not to sell any of the shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus. The Registered Holders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. Such sales may be made on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at prices and under terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions. The Registered Holders may dispose of their shares by one or more of, or a combination of, the following methods:
•distributions to members, partners, stockholders or other equityholders of the Registered Holders;
•purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus;
•ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;
•block trades in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
•an over-the-counter distribution in accordance with the rules of the NYSE;
•through trading plans entered into by a Registered Holder pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, that are in place at the time of an offering pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement hereto that provide for periodic sales of their securities on the basis of parameters described in such trading plans;
•to or through underwriters or broker-dealers;
•in “at the market” offerings, as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, at negotiated prices, at prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, including sales made directly on a national securities exchange or sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or other similar offerings through sales agents;
•in privately negotiated transactions;
•in options transactions;
•through a combination of any of the above methods of sale; or
•any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
In addition, any shares that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, or Rule 144, may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus. A Registered Holder that is an entity may elect to make an in-kind distribution of Common Stock to its members, partners, stockholders or other equityholders pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part by delivering a prospectus. To the extent that such members, partners, stockholders or other equityholders are not affiliates of ours, such members, partners, stockholders or other equityholders would thereby receive freely tradable shares of Common Stock pursuant to a distribution pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution. In connection with distributions of the shares or otherwise, the Registered Holders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of shares of Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume with Registered Holders. The Registered Holders may also sell shares of Common Stock short and redeliver the shares to close out such short positions. The Registered Holders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions that require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). The Registered Holders may also pledge shares to a broker-dealer or other financial institution, and, upon a default, such broker-dealer or other financial institution, may effect sales of the pledged shares pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
A Registered Holder may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by any Registered Holder or borrowed from any Registered Holder or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from any Registered Holder in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). In addition, any Registered Holder may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities short using this prospectus. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.
In effecting sales, broker-dealers or agents engaged by the Registered Holders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from the Registered Holders in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale.
In offering the shares covered by this prospectus, the Registered Holders and any broker-dealers who execute sales for the Registered Holders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. Any profits realized by the Registered Holders and the compensation of any broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions.
In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the shares must be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.
We have advised the Registered Holders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the Registered Holders and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus available to the Registered Holders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Registered Holders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
At the time a particular offer of shares is made, if required, a prospectus supplement will be distributed that will set forth the number of shares being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name of any underwriter, dealer or agent, the purchase price paid by any underwriter, any discount, commission and other item constituting compensation, any discount, commission or concession allowed or reallowed or paid to any dealer, and the proposed selling price to the public.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 102 of the DGCL permits a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of directors of a corporation to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached his duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit. Our certificate of incorporation provides that no director of the Registrant shall be personally liable to it or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, notwithstanding any provision of law imposing such liability, except to the extent that the DGCL prohibits the elimination or limitation of liability of directors for breaches of fiduciary duty.
Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or a person serving at the request of the corporation for another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise in related capacities against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with an action, suit or proceeding to which he was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, ending or completed action, suit or proceeding by reason of such position, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, except that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or other adjudicating court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Our certificate of incorporation provides that we will indemnify each person who was or is a party or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of us) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at our request as a director, officer, partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (all such persons being referred to as an “Indemnitee”), or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if such Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he or she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Our certificate of incorporation provides that we will indemnify any Indemnitee who was or is a party to an action or suit by or in the right of us to procure a judgment in our favor by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at our request as a director, officer, partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted
in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) and, to the extent permitted by law, amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, and any appeal therefrom, if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests, except that no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to us, unless a court determines that, despite such adjudication but in view of all of the circumstances, he or she is entitled to indemnification of such expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any Indemnitee has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, he or she will be indemnified by us against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. Expenses must be advanced to an Indemnitee under certain circumstances.
We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers. These indemnification agreements may require us, among other things, to indemnify our directors and officers for some expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by a director or officer in any action or proceeding arising out of his or her service as one of our directors or officers, or any of our subsidiaries or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our request.
We maintain a general liability insurance policy that covers certain liabilities of directors and officers of our corporation arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.
In any underwriting agreement we enter into in connection with the sale of Common Stock being registered hereby, the underwriters may agree to indemnify, under certain conditions, us, Registered Holders, our directors, our officers and persons who control us within the meaning of the Securities Act against certain liabilities.

Item 17. Undertakings
(a)The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii)To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii), and (a)(1)(iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is a part of the registration statement.
(2)That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(5)That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(A)Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(B)Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference
into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
(6)That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i)Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii)Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii)The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(h)Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

As to certain factual matters, we have relied upon the Officer’s Certificate and have not sought to independently verify such matters.
Based solely upon our examination of and reliance upon the foregoing, and subject to the limitations, exceptions, qualifications, and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

We have also assumed that the execution, delivery and performance of each of the documents examined by us has been duly authorized by each of the parties thereto (exclusive of the Company), and has been duly executed and delivered by each of the parties thereto in the form submitted for our review.
