SUPPLEMENT TO THE PROXY STATEMENT
FOR THE SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS OF MATTERPORT, INC.
TO BE HELD ON FRIDAY, JULY 26, 2024
This supplement, dated July 17, 2024 (which we refer to as this supplement), supplements the notice of special meeting of stockholders and definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A, dated June 10, 2024 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, and which we refer to, collectively, as the proxy statement), filed by Matterport, Inc., a Delaware corporation (which we refer to as Matterport, we, our, us and similar words). Terms used in this amendment that are not defined have the meaning given to them in the proxy statement. The proxy statement relates to the solicitation of proxies by Matterports Board of Directors (which we refer to as the Matterport Board) in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (as it may be amended from time to time, and which we refer to as the Merger Agreement), dated April 21, 2024, by and among Matterport, CoStar Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (CoStar Group), Matrix Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of CoStar Group (Merger Sub I), and Matrix Merger Sub II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of CoStar Group (Merger Sub II), pursuant to which, among other things, subject to its terms, (i) Merger Sub I will merge with and into Matterport (the First Merger), with Matterport surviving the First Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of CoStar Group (the Surviving Corporation) and (ii) in the event that the Threshold Percentage (as defined in the Merger Agreement) is at least 40%, immediately following the First Merger and as part of a single integrated transaction, the Surviving Corporation will merge with and into Merger Sub II (the Second Merger and together with the First Merger, the Mergers), with Merger Sub II surviving the Second Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of CoStar Group.
As of the date of this supplement, Matterport is aware of four complaints (the Complaints) that have been filed by purported stockholders of Matterport against Matterport and members of the Matterport Board seeking to enjoin the Mergers and to obtain other relief. The first complaint is captioned Andrew Rose v. Matterport, Inc., et al., Case No. 5:24-cv-3313 (N.D. Cal.) filed on June 3, 2024 in the U. S. District Court for the Northern District of California. On July 9, 2024, an additional complaint was filed in the New York Supreme Court, captioned Hamilton v. Matterport, Inc., et al., Case No. 240709-34. On July 11, 2024, an additional complaint was filed in the New York Supreme Court, captioned Scott v. Matterport, Inc., et al., Case No. 240711-901. Finally, the plaintiffs in an already-pending action in the Delaware Court of Chancery, captioned Hanna, et al. v. Pittman, et al., C.A. No. 2024-0088-LWW have filed an amended complaint (the four complaints together referred to herein as the Complaints). The Complaints assert claims against the defendants under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act for issuing the proxy statement with allegedly false and misleading statements of material fact and alleged omissions of material fact, against the individual defendants under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act for alleged control person liability with respect to such allegedly false and misleading statements of material fact and alleged omissions of material fact, against the individual defendants for breach of fiduciary duty, and against defendants for negligent misrepresentation and negligence. The allegations in the Complaints include that the proxy statement omitted material information regarding Matterports financial projections and the analyses performed by Qatalyst Partners. The Complaints seek, among other relief, to enjoin Matterport from proceeding with the Mergers unless and until Matterport cures certain alleged disclosure deficiencies in the proxy statement and an award of attorneys fees and costs.
In addition to the Complaints, as of July 17, 2024, Matterport has received over 10 demand letters (which are referred to collectively as the demand letters) from purported stockholders of Matterport with respect to the Mergers. The allegations in the demand letters regarding the proxy statement are substantially similar to the allegations in the Complaints regarding the proxy statement.
The purpose of this supplement is to supplement the proxy statement with additional information (the Supplemental Disclosures) concerning the Mergers. Except as described in the Supplemental Disclosures, the information provided in the proxy statement is not amended, supplemented or otherwise modified. If information in the Supplemental Disclosures differs from or updates information contained in the proxy statement, then the information in the Supplemental Disclosures is more current and supersedes the different information contained in the proxy statement.
2/9
THE SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PROXY STATEMENT AND THE PROXY STATEMENT SHOULD BE READ IN ITS ENTIRETY.
Matterport does not believe the Supplemental Disclosures are required or necessary under any applicable laws. However, solely to minimize expense and distraction and to avoid the uncertainty of any litigation, Matterport is electing to make the Supplemental Disclosures set forth below in response to the Complaints and the demand letters. Matterport denies the allegations in the Complaints and the demand letters, and denies that any violation of law has occurred. Matterport believes that the proxy statement disclosed all material information required to be disclosed and denies that any of the Supplemental Disclosures are material or are otherwise required to be disclosed. Nothing in the Supplemental Disclosures should be deemed an admission of the legal necessity or materiality of any Supplemental Disclosures under any applicable laws.
Supplemental Disclosures
All paragraph headings and page references refer to the headings and pages in the proxy statement before any additions or deletions resulting
from the Supplemental Disclosures or any other amendments. The Supplemental Disclosures are identified below by bold, underlined text. Stricken-through text shows text being deleted from a referenced
disclosure in the proxy statement.
The following bolded and underlined language is added to pages 31 and 32 of the proxy statement in the section with the heading Risk Factors.
Litigation challenging the Mergers may increase costs and prevent the Mergers from being completed within the expected timeframe, or from being completed at all.
CoStar Group, Matterport and members of their respective boards of directors may in the future be parties to various claims and litigation related to the Merger Agreement or the Mergers. One of the conditions to completion of the Mergers is the absence of any injunction, order or award restraining or enjoining, or otherwise prohibiting, the consummation of the Mergers. Accordingly, if any complaint that has been or is subsequently filed challenging the Mergers and a plaintiff is successful in obtaining an order enjoining completion of the Mergers, then such order may prevent the Mergers from being completed, or from being completed within the expected time frame.
For example, on June 3, 2024, a purported Matterport stockholder filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, captioned Andrew Rose v. Matterport, Inc., et al., Case No. 5:24-cv-3313 (the Rose Action), naming Matterport and each member of the Matterport Board as defendants. The complaint alleges that CoStar Groups Form S-4 Registration Statement filed with the SEC on May 21, 2024 is materially misleading and omits certain purportedly material information relating to the sales process, financial projections of Matterport and CoStar Group, the valuation analyses performed by Qatalyst Partners, and negotiations over the terms of post-transaction employment of certain Matterport employees. The complaint asserts violations of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder against all defendants, and violations of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against the Companys Board. The complaint seeks, among other things, an injunction enjoining consummation of the Mergers, an order directing the individual defendants to issue a new Registration Statement, and an award of plaintiffs costs of the action, including plaintiffs reasonable attorneys and experts fees. Additionally, on July 9 and July 11, 2024, purported Matterport stockholders filed complaints in the New York Supreme Court, captioned Hamilton v. Matterport, Inc., et al., Case No. 240709-34 (the Hamilton Action) and Scott v. Matterport, Inc., et al., Case No. 240711-901 (the Scott Action), respectively. These complaints name Matterport and each member of the Matterport Board as defendants and allege, inter alia, that the proxy statement misrepresents or omits certain purportedly material information relating to financial projections for Matterport, the valuation analyses performed by Qatalyst Partners, and potential conflicts of interest faced by Matterport insiders. The complaints assert claims for common law negligent misrepresentation and common law negligence. The complaint seeks, among other things, an injunction enjoining consummation of the Mergers, damages, and an award of plaintiffs costs of the action, including plaintiffs reasonable attorneys and experts fees. Additionally, the plaintiffs in an already-pending action in the Delaware Court of Chancery, captioned Hanna, et al. v. Pittman, et al., Case No. C.A. No. 2024-0088-LWW (the Hanna Action) have filed an amended complaint, which alleges, inter alia, that the members of the Matterport Board breached their fiduciary duties by issuing a proxy statement which failed to disclose certain information concerning Matterports prior issuance of certain earn-out shares previously issued and the subsequent impact on the amount of the Merger Consideration that would have been received by the plaintiffs and other stockholders if those earn-out shares had not been issued. The amended complaint seeks, among other things, an injunction enjoining the currently-scheduled shareholder vote relating to the Merger, damages, and an award of plaintiffs costs of the action, including reasonable attorneys and experts fees. The Plaintiffs in the Hanna Action have also filed a motion for a preliminary injunction seeking to enjoin the shareholder vote and a motion for expedited proceedings regarding the motion for a preliminary injunction. On July 11, 2024, the court denied Plaintiffs motion to expedite. Additionally, certain purported Matterport shareholders have delivered demand letters (the Demands) and a draft complaint alleging similar deficiencies or omissions regarding the disclosures made in the Registration Statement, and requesting relevant books and records. Matterport notes that: (i) the Rose Action, the Hanna Action, the Hamilton Action, or the Scott Action may be amended; (ii) additional, similar complaints may be filed; or (iii) additional demand letters may be delivered. These events could prevent or delay
3/9
completion of the Mergers and result in additional costs to Matterport. Matterport believes that the Rose Action, the Hanna Action, the Hamilton Action, the Scott Action, and the demand letters are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them. Litigation could be time consuming and expensive, could divert the attention of CoStar Groups and Matterports management away from their regular businesses, and, if adversely resolved against either CoStar Group or Matterport or their respective directors, could have a material adverse effect on CoStar Groups and Matterports respective financial condition.
The following bolded and underlined language is added to page 47 of the proxy statement in the section with the heading Background of the Mergers.
On April 1, 2024, representatives of Foley and Latham held a call to discuss (i) the 13% symmetrical collar, (ii) Matterports proposed language that CoStar Group refrain from undertaking any other acquisitions that would imperil regulatory review of the current transaction with Matterport and (iii) the definition of Good Reason in Matterports pre-existing executive severance plan applicable to senior Matterport executives. CoStar Groups representatives requested assurances that the affected executives would not claim a termination for Good Reason by virtue of becoming a division of CoStar Group in order to trigger a severance payment under the plan and leave the combined company in the period after the Closing. On the evening of April 3, 2024, Latham sent to Foley a revised Merger Agreement, with revisions that addressed CoStar Groups issues raised in the April 1 call between Foley and Latham. In Lathams revised draft of the Merger Agreement, CoStar Group countered Matterports proposal of a 13% symmetrical collar with a narrower 10% symmetrical collar.
The following bolded and underlined language is added to page 48 of the proxy statement in the section with the heading Background of the Mergers.
1On April 17, 2024, the management teams of Matterport and CoStar Group, together with its respective financial advisors, met to discuss the companies preliminary quarterly financial results. In addition, members of Matterports management team who had been aware of the transaction agreed to sign the Good Reason waiver on the condition that it be amended to extend the coverage of the Matterport executive severance plan for two years following consummation of the transaction. In addition, Messrs. Pittman and Dave Gausebeck, Chief Scientific Officer of Matterport, agreed to enter into a five-year restrictive covenant agreement. Apart from Costar Groups request to modify the definition of Good Reason in those severance plans, CoStar Group did not include in its proposals, and Matterport did not request in them, any provisions regarding the retention of Matterport management in the surviving company or their purchase of, or participation in, the equity of the combined company following the completion of the proposed transaction.
The following bolded and underlined language is added to page 92 of the proxy statement in the section with the heading Litigation Relating to the Mergers.
On June 3, 2024, a purported Matterport stockholder filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, captioned Andrew Rose v. Matterport, Inc., et al., Case No. 5:24-cv-3313, naming Matterport and each member of the Matterport Board as defendants (the Rose Complaint). The complaint alleges that CoStar Groups Form S-4 Registration Statement filed with the SEC on May 21, 2024 is materially misleading and omits certain purportedly material information relating to the sales process, financial projections of Matterport and CoStar Group, the valuation analyses performed by Qatalyst Partners, and negotiations over the terms of post-transaction employment of certain Matterport employees. The complaint asserts violations of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder against all defendants, and violations of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against the Companys Board. The complaint seeks, among other things, an injunction enjoining consummation of the Merger, an order directing the individual defendants to issue a new Registration Statement, and an award of plaintiffs costs of the action, including plaintiffs reasonable attorneys and experts fees. Additionally, on July 9, and July 11, 2024, purported Matterport stockholders filed complaints in the New York Supreme Court, captioned Hamilton v. Matterport, Inc., et al., Case No. 240709-34 (the Hamilton Action) and Scott v. Matterport, Inc., et al., Case No. 240711-901 (the Scott Action), respectively. These complaints name Matterport and each member of the Matterport Board as defendants and allege, inter alia, that the proxy statement misrepresents or omits certain purportedly material information relating to financial projections for Matterport, the valuation analyses performed by Qatalyst Partners, and potential conflicts of interest faced by Matterport insiders. The complaints assert claims for common law negligent misrepresentation and common law negligence. The complaint seeks, among other things, an injunction enjoining consummation of the Mergers, damages, and an award of plaintiffs costs of the action, including plaintiffs reasonable attorneys and experts fees. Additionally, the plaintiffs in an already-pending action in the Delaware Court of Chancery, captioned Hanna, et al. v. Pittman, et al., Case No. C.A. No. 2024-0088-LWW (the Hanna Action) have filed an amended complaint, which alleges, inter alia, that the members of the Matterport Board breached their fiduciary duties by issuing a proxy statement which failed to disclose certain information concerning Matterports prior issuance of certain earn-out shares previously issued and the subsequent impact on the amount of the Merger Consideration that would have been
4/9
received by the plaintiffs and other stockholders if those earn-out shares had not been issued. The amended complaint seeks, among other things, an
injunction enjoining the currently-scheduled shareholder vote relating to the Merger, damages, and an award of plaintiffs costs of the action, including reasonable attorneys and experts fees. The Plaintiffs in the
Hanna Action have also filed a motion for a preliminary injunction seeking to enjoin the shareholder vote and a motion for expedited proceedings regarding the motion for a preliminary injunction. On
July 11, 2024, the court denied Plaintiffs motion to expedite. Additionally, as of July 17, 2024, Matterport has received over ten demand letters (which are referred to
collectively as the demand letters) from purported stockholders of Matterport with respect to the Mergers. The allegations in the demand letters regarding the proxy statement are substantially similar to the allegations in the Rose
Complaint regarding the proxy statement. Additionally, certain purported Matterport shareholders have delivered demand letters alleging similar deficiencies or omissions regarding the disclosures made in the Registration Statement,
and requesting relevant books and records. These demand letters, if not resolved, could lead to post-or pre-Mergers lawsuits against Matterport, seeking an
injunction to enjoin the consummation of the Mergers. Matterport believes the lawsuits are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them. Additional lawsuits and demand letters arising out of or relating to the Merger Agreement or the
Mergers may be filed or made in the future, which could prevent or delay completion of the Mergers and result in additional costs to Matterport.
The following bolded and underlined language is added to page 55 of the proxy statement in the section with the heading Opinion of Matterports Financial Advisor Discounted Cash Flow Analysis.
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis
Qatalyst Partners performed an illustrative discounted cash flow analysis, which is designed to imply a range of potential per-share present values for Matterport Common Stock as of December 31, 2023 (which, at the time of such analysis, was the end of Matterports most recent publicly reported fiscal quarter and most recent publicly reported balance sheet) with respect to the Management Projections by
adding:
(a) | the implied net present value of the estimated future unlevered free cash flows (the UFCF) of Matterport, based on the Management Projections for the calendar year 2024 through calendar year 2032 (which implied present value was calculated using a range of discount rates of 14.5% to 21.5%, based on an estimated weighted average cost of capital for Matterport); |
(b) | the implied net present value of a corresponding terminal value of Matterport, calculated by multiplying Matterports estimated UFCF in fiscal year 2033 of approximately $309 million, based on Management Projections, by a range of fully diluted enterprise value to next-twelve-months estimated UFCF multiples of 22.0x to 32.0x (which were chosen based on Qatalyst Partners professional judgment and experience), and discounted to present value using the same range of discount rates used in item (a) above; and |
(c) | the cash and cash equivalents of Matterport of approximately $423 million as of December 31, 2023, as based on Matterport financial statements filed with the SEC by Matterport on February 27, 2024. |
dividing the resulting amount by the number of fully diluted shares of Matterport Common Stock outstanding (calculated using the treasury stock method, taking into account the Matterport Equity Awards as of April 17, 2024), as provided by management of Matterport, with each of the above-referenced estimated future UFCFs and terminal value having also been adjusted for the degree of estimated dilution to current stockholders through the applicable period (approximately 33% cumulative dilution through the applicable period) due to the estimated net effects of equity issuances and cancellations related to future equity compensation, based on estimates of future dilution provided by management of Matterport. The number of fully diluted shares of common stock outstanding may be calculated by adding: i) the Matterport Common Stock outstanding; ii) the outstanding restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units; iii) in-the-money stock options, calculated using the treasury stock method; and iv) in-the-money Private Warrants, calculated using the treasury stock method.
Based on the calculations set forth above, this analysis implied a range of values for Matterport Common Stock of approximately $4.13 to $8.01 per share.
