Lionheart Acquisition Corporation II (Nasdaq: LCAPU, LCAP and
LCAPW) (“Company”) announces a clarification on the issuance of New
Warrants, as previously announced in connection with its business
combination with MSP Recovery, LLC (the “Business
Combination”).
Following the closing of the Business Combination (the
“Closing”), which is now expected to occur on May 23, 2022, the
Company’s Class A Common Stock will cease trading on the Nasdaq
Capital Market (“Nasdaq CM”) under the symbol “LCAP” (CUSIP
53625R104), and begin trading on Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq GM”)
under the symbol “MSPR” (CUSIP 553745100) and the Company’s
warrants, each to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at
$11.50 per share (the “Existing Warrants”), will cease trading on
the Nasdaq CM under the symbol “LCAPW” and begin trading on Nasdaq
GM under the symbol “MSPRZ” rather than continuing to trade under
“LCAPW” as previously planned.
Upon this conversion, for each share of Class A Common Stock
traded under “LCAP” immediately prior to the Closing that did not
elect to be redeemed (the “Continuing Shares”) in connection with
the Business Combination, holders will receive one share of Class A
Common Stock traded under “MSPR” and the right to receive New
Warrants in an amount equal to the product of (a) the number of
Continuing Shares held multiplied by (b) 118.109463483458 (the “New
Warrant Ratio”), to be issued as soon as practicable following the
Closing, which is currently estimated to be 10 days following the
Closing. Additionally, the Units of the Company trading on Nasdaq
CM under the symbol “LCAPU,” each comprised of one share of Class A
Common Stock and one-half of one Existing Warrant, will be split
into their component parts and for each Unit, holders will receive
one share of Class A Common Stock trading under the ticker symbol
“MSPR” and one-half of one Existing Warrant (with any fractional
warrant rounded down) in addition to the right to receive New
Warrants in an amount equal to the product of (a) the number of
Units held multiplied by (b) the Warrant Ratio.
The Warrant Ratio was calculated based on the previously
disclosed intent to issue approximately 1,029,000,000 New Warrants
pro rata (or on as nearly a pro rata basis as is practicable) to
the holders of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, on the close of
business on the closing date, based on their proportionate
ownership of the then-outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock,
in each case after giving effect to any redemptions by the holders
of Class A Common Stock, the conversion of the Company’s Class B
Common Stock to Class A Common Stock, and the separation of Units
into their component parts, which resulted in an expected 8,712,257
shares of Class A Common Stock.
The New Warrants are each exercisable for one share of Class A
Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share and will be
subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments and become exercisable
30 days following the Closing, expiring five years from the date of
Closing. The issuance of the New Warrants, and the shares
underlying the New Warrants, was registered on the Form S-4 filed
by the Company in connection with the Business Combination (the
“Registration Statement”), which was declared effective by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 2, 2022. The
Company intends for the New Warrants to be listed, subject to
Nasdaq approval, on the Nasdaq GM under the trading symbol “MSPRW”
upon issuance. The Company will issue the New Warrants pursuant to
a warrant agreement, substantially in the form attached as Annex M
to the Registration Statement. A copy of the Registration Statement
relating to the issuance of the New Warrants and the shares of
Class A Common Stock underlying the New Warrants may be obtained
for free, on the SEC website at www.sec.gov.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
This communication includes forward looking statements within
the meaning of the safe harbor from civil liability provided for
such statements by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995 (set forth in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) and Section 27A of the Securities
Act), which include information relating to future events, future
financial performance, strategies, expectations, competitive
environment, regulation and availability of resources and involve
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may
cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be
materially different from any future results, performances or
achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking
statements. These statements are often accompanied with or by words
such as “expects,” “plans,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “estimates,”
“intends,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “seeks,” “targets,”
“continues,” “believes,” “opinion,” “will,” “could,” “future,”
“growth,” or “may” (or the negatives thereof) or other similar
expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or
that are not statements of historical matters. These forward
looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements
regarding MSP’s plans, goals and objectives, forecasts, budgets or
projections and any related assumptions, statements and projections
regarding projected MSP claims by paid amounts, projected recovery
percentages, forecasts relating to key revenue drivers, earnings
growth, gross and cumulative recoveries and the implied enterprise
value and LCAP’s and MSP’s expectations with respect to future
performance and anticipated financial impacts of the Business
Combination, the satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions
to the Business Combination, and the timing of the completion of
the Business Combination. There is no guarantee that prospects or
results or the timing of events included or referred to in this
communication will be achieved or that MSP will be able to
implement successfully its investment strategy or achieve its
investment objectives or return targets. Accordingly, we caution
you against relying on forward-looking statements. Forward looking
statements also are subject to a number of significant risks and
uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ
materially, and potentially adversely, from those express or
implied in the forward-looking statements. These statements are
based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this
communication, and on the current expectations of management and
are not predictions of actual performance. Actual events and
circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and may differ
from assumptions, and such differences may be material. Many actual
events and circumstances are inherently subject to significant
business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies,
and are beyond the control of MSP and LCAP and are difficult to
predict. These forward-looking statements are provided for
illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and
must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an
assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or
probability. Factors that may cause such differences include, but
are not limited to, the occurrence of any event, change, or other
circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the MIPA;
the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against
LCAP or MSP or affiliated companies following the announcement of
the Business Combination; the inability to complete the Business
Combination on the expected time frame or at all, including due to
failure to obtain approval of LCAP’s stockholders, certain
regulatory approvals, or the satisfaction of other conditions to
closing in the MIPA; the occurrence of any event, change, or other
circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the MIPA or
could otherwise cause the Business Combination to fail to close;
the inability to obtain or maintain the common stock listing on the
Nasdaq Stock Market following the Business Combination; a delay or
failure to realize the expected benefits of the Business
Combination; the risk that the Business Combination disrupts
current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and
consummation of the Business Combination; the ability to recognize
the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be
affected by, among other things: future economic, financial,
lending, competitive and market conditions, including healthcare
spending fluctuations; future costs of and returns on capital;
leverage and lending costs and terms; operating costs and future
business, investment, holding and sale decisions and costs; the
risks associated with MSP’s business, including, among others,
MSP’s ability to capitalize on its assignment agreements and
recover monies that were paid by the assignors; litigation results;
the validity of the assignments of claims to MSP; a determination
that MSP’s claims are not reasonable, related or necessary; the
failure of MSP’s clients to renew their agreements with MSP (or
terminate those agreements early); MSP’s claims being within
applicable statutes of limitations; the inability to successfully
expand the scope of MSP’s claims or obtain new data and claims from
MSP’s existing assignor base or otherwise; the limited number of
MSP’s assignors and the associated concentration of MSP’s current
and future potential revenue; internal improvements to claims and
retail billing processes by MSP’s clients that reduce the need for
and revenue generated by MSP’s products and services; healthcare
spending fluctuations; programmatic changes to the scope of
benefits and limitations to payment integrity initiatives that
reduce the need for MSP’s services; delays in implementing MSP’s
services to its claims; system interruptions or failures;
cyber-security breaches and other disruptions that could compromise
MSP’s data; MSP’s failure to maintain or upgrade its operational
platforms; MSP’s failure to innovate and develop new solutions, or
the failure of those solutions to be adopted by MSP’s existing and
potential assignors; MSP’s failure to comply with applicable
privacy, security and data laws, regulations and standards,
including with respect to third party providers; changes in
legislation related to healthcare programs and policies; changes in
the healthcare market; negative publicity concerning healthcare
data analytics and payment accuracy; competition; successfully
protecting MSP’s intellectual property rights; the risk that third
parties may allege infringement of their intellectual property;
changes in the healthcare regulatory environment and the failure to
comply with applicable laws and regulations or the increased costs
associated with any such compliance; failure to manage MSP’s
growth; the inability to attract and retain key personnel; MSP’s
reliance on its senior management team and key employees and the
loss it could sustain if any of those employees separated from the
business; the failure of vendors and providers to deliver or
perform as expected, or the loss of such vendors or providers;
MSP’s geographic concentration; MSP’s relatively limited operating
history, which makes it difficult to evaluate its current or future
business prospects; the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic;
and the risk that MSP may not be able to develop and maintain
effective internal controls. The foregoing list of factors is not
exhaustive. If any of these risks materialize or MSP’s assumptions
prove incorrect, actual results may differ materiality from the
results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be
additional risks that we do not presently know or currently believe
are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from
those contained in the forward-looking statements. The foregoing
list of factors is not exclusive. Additional information concerning
certain of these and other risk factors is contained in LCAP’s most
recent filings with the SEC and in the Registration Statement and
the definitive proxy statement/prospectus, filed with the SEC in
connection with the Business Combination. This communication speaks
only as of the date indicated, and the statements, expressions,
information and data included therein may change and may become
stale, out-of-date or no longer applicable. We do not have, and do
not undertake, any obligation to update, amend or revise this
communication (or to provide new, amended or revised materials),
including with respect to any forward-looking statements, whether
as a result of new information, future events, changed plans or
circumstances or any other reason, except as required by law. The
communication should not be relied upon as representing our
assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this
communication. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed
upon the communication, including the forward-looking
statements.
