SCHEDULE 13D

 

This Schedule 13D is filed on behalf of MedTech Acquisition Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Christopher C. Dewey, and David J. Matlin (each, a “Reporting Person” and collectively, the “Reporting Persons”).

 

Item 1. Security and Issuer.

 

This statement on Schedule 13D relates to the Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Class A Shares”), of MedTech Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), whose principal executive offices are located at 48 Maple Avenue, Greenwich, CT 06830.

 

Item 2. Identity and Background

 

The Schedule 13D is being filed by the following Reporting Persons:

 

·MedTech Acquisition Sponsor LLC (“Sponsor”);

 

·Christopher C. Dewey; and

 

·David J. Matlin.

 

Sponsor is organized under the laws of Delaware. Each of Mr. Christopher C. Dewey and David J. Matlin is a citizen of the United States. The address for Sponsor is 600 Fifth Avenue, 22nd Floor, New York, NY 10022 , and for each of Mr. Christopher C. Dewey and David J. Matlin is C/O MedTech Acquisition Corporation, 48 Maple Avenue, Greenwich, CT 06830.

CUSIP No. 58507N105 13D Page 6 of 12 pages

  

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

 

Founder Shares

 

In September 2020, Sponsor purchased 5,750,000 founder shares, classified as Class B Shares (the “Founder Shares”) (up to an aggregate of 750,000 shares of which were subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised), for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. In December 2020, the Issuer effected a stock dividend for 0.1 shares for each share of Class B Shares outstanding, resulting in Sponsor holding an aggregate of 6,325,000 Founder Shares (up to an aggregate of 825,000 shares of which were subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised). As a result of the underwriters’ partial exercise of its over-allotment option, Sponsor forfeited 75,000 Founder Shares, resulting in ownership of 6,250,000 Founder Shares. The Founder Shares will automatically convert into Class A Shares at the time of the Issuer’s initial business combination (the “Business Combination”) or at any time prior to the closing of the Business Combination at the option of the holder of Founder Shares, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment pursuant to certain anti-dilution rights, and are also convertible, at any time prior to a Business Combination, at the option of the holder.

 

On June 26, 2023, Sponsor elected to convert on a one-for-one basis 6,249,999 Class B Shares into 6,249,999 Class A Shares (the “Founder Conversion”), resulting in Sponsor continuing to own one (1) Class B Share following the Founder Conversion. The 6,249,999 Class A Shares issued to Sponsor in connection with the Founder Conversion together with the one (1) Class B Share continued to be owned by Sponsor are, for purposes of this Schedule 13D, are considered “Founder Shares” and such Founder Shares are subject to the same registration rights and restrictions as the Class B Shares before the Founder Conversion, including, among others, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of a Business Combination as described in the prospectus for the Issuer’s initial public offering (“IPO”).

 

Private Placement Warrants

 

In December, 2020, simultaneously with the closing of the Issuer’s IPO, Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 4,933,333 private placement warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) for a purchase price of $1.50 per warrant pursuant to a Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreement dated December 17, 2020 (the “Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreement”). Sponsor’s interest in such transaction was valued at $7,400,000. Each Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of the Issuer’s Class A Shares at a price of $11.50 per share. The Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A Shares issuable upon exercise thereof) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holder until 30 days after the completion of the Issuer’s Business Combination.

 

The foregoing description of the Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the agreement, which is attached as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Letter Agreement

 

Sponsor and the Issuer entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) pursuant to which Sponsor agreed (i) to waive its redemption rights with respect to its Founder Shares and Class A Shares in connection with the completion of the Business Combination, (ii) to waive its redemption rights with respect to its Founder Shares and Class A Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Issuer’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to (A) modify the substance or timing of the Issuer’s obligation to provide for the redemption of the Issuer’s public shares in connection with a Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Issuer’s public shares if the Issuer does not complete the Business Combination within the required timeframe or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-Business Combination activity, and (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Issuer’s trust account with respect to its Founder Shares if the Issuer fails to complete the Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO, although it will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Issuer’s trust account with respect to any public shares it holds if the Issuer fails to complete the Business Combination within the prescribed time frame.

 

 

 

CUSIP No. 58507N105 13D Page 7 of 12 pages

 

Voting Agreement

 

Further pursuant to the Letter Agreement, Sponsor has agreed to vote any Founder Shares held by it and any public shares purchased during or after the Issuer’s IPO (including in open market and privately-negotiated transactions) in favor of the Issuer’s Business Combination. If the Issuer submits the Business Combination to its public stockholders for a vote, the Issuer will complete the Business Combination only if a majority of the Issuer’s outstanding common stock voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.

 

Lock-up Agreement

 

Further pursuant to the Letter Agreement, Sponsor agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any Class A Shares issued upon conversion or exercise thereof pursuant to the lock-up provision in the Letter Agreement. Those lock-up provisions provide that such securities are not transferable or salable (i) in the case of the Founder Shares, until the earlier of  (A) one year after the completion of the Issuer’s Business Combination or (B) subsequent to the Issuer’s Business Combination, (x) if the reported closing price of the Class A Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Issuer’s Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Issuer completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of its stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the Issuer’s initial stockholders with respect to any Founder Shares, and (ii) in the case of the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A Shares underlying such warrants, until 30 days after the completion of the Issuer’s Business Combination, except in each case (a) to the Issuer’s officers or directors, any affiliates or family members of any of the Issuer’s officers or directors, any members of Sponsor, or any affiliates of Sponsor, (b) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of one of the members of the individual’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of one of the individual’s immediate family, an affiliate of such person or to a charitable organization; (c) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual; (d) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (e) by private sales or transfers made in connection with any forward purchase agreement or similar arrangement or in connection with the consummation of an Business Combination at prices no greater than the price at which the shares or warrants were originally purchased; (f) in the event of the Issuer’s liquidation prior to the completion of the Issuer’s Business Combination; or (g) by virtue of the laws of Delaware or the organizational documents of our sponsor upon dissolution of Sponsor; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (a) through (e) or (g), the permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement agreeing to be bound by the transfer restrictions and the other restrictions contained in the Letter Agreement and by the same agreements entered into by Sponsor with respect to such securities.

The foregoing description of the Letter Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the agreement, which is attached as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Registration Rights Agreement

 

In connection with the closing of the IPO, the Issuer entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Sponsor in December 2020, pursuant to which Sponsor is entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Issuer registers Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants, any warrants that may be issued upon the exercise of the working capital loans, any Class A Shares issuable upon the exercise of Private Placement Warrants, any Class A Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Founder Shares. In addition, Sponsor has certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed by the Issuer to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act.

 

The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the agreement, which is attached as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Sponsor Loan

 

On May 24, 2022, the Issuer issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of up to $1,500,000 to Sponsor. This convertible promissory note is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) the date of the Business Combination or (ii) the winding up of the Issuer. At any time prior to payment in full of the principal balance of this convertible promissory note, Sponsor may elect to convert all or any portion of the unpaid principal balance into that number of warrants, each exercisable for one share of Class A Shares, equal to (x) the portion of the principal amount of this note being converted, divided by (y) $1.50, rounded up to the nearest whole number of warrants.
