Exhibit 4.2


 


DESCRIPTION OF THE REGISTRANT’S SECURITIES
REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12


OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED


 


As of December 31, 2020,
Recharge Acquisition Corp.(“we,” “our,” “us” or the “Company”) had the following three
classes of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”):
(i) its units, consisting of one share of Class A common stock (as defined below) and one-half of one redeemable warrant
(as defined below), with each whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A common stock (ii) its
Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Class A common stock”), and (iii) its public warrants,
with each whole warrant exercisable for one share of class A common stock for $11.50 per share (the “warrants”).


 


Pursuant to our amended and
restated certificate of incorporation, our authorized capital stock consists of 110,000,000 shares of common stock, including 100,000,000
shares of Class A common stock and 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, $0.0001 par value, and 1,000,000 shares of undesignated
preferred stock, $0.0001 par value. The following description summarizes the material terms of our capital stock and does not purport
to be complete. It is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation,
our bylaws, and our warrant agreement, each of which is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “Report”) of which this Exhibit 4.2 is a part.


 


Defined terms used herein
but not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Report.


 


Units


 


Each unit consists of one
whole share of Class A common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to
purchase one share of our Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrant holder
may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of Class A common stock.


 


Class A Common Stock


 


Common stockholders of record
are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. Holders of the Class A common stock and
holders of the Class B common stock vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders, except
as required by law. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the holders of more
than 50% of the shares voted for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. Our stockholders are entitled to receive ratable
dividends when, as and if declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefor.


 


We will provide our stockholders
with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of our initial business combination at a per-share price,
payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account as of two business days prior to the consummation
of our initial business combination including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us
to pay our taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described in the Report. Our sponsor,
officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights
with respect to any founder shares and any public shares held by them in connection with the completion of our initial business combination.


 


If we seek stockholder approval
of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to
the tender offer rules, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate
of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under
Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the
shares of common stock sold in our initial public offering, which we refer to as the Excess Shares. However, we would not be restricting
our stockholders’ ability to vote all of their shares (including Excess Shares) for or against our initial business combination.
Our stockholders’ inability to redeem the Excess Shares will reduce their influence over our ability to complete our initial business
combination, and such stockholders could suffer a material loss in their investment if they sell such Excess Shares on the open market.
Additionally, such stockholders will not receive redemption distributions with respect to the Excess Shares if we complete the initial
business combination. And, as a result, such stockholders will continue to hold that number of shares exceeding 15% and, in order to dispose
such shares would be required to sell their stock in open market transactions, potentially at a loss.


 


In the event of a liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the company after an initial business combination, our stockholders are entitled to share ratably in all
assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision is made for each class of stock,
if any, having preference over the common stock. Our stockholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights. There are no sinking
fund provisions applicable to the common stock, except that we will provide our stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their public
shares for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, upon the completion of our
initial business combination, subject to the limitations described in the Report.


 


Redeemable Warrants


 


Each whole warrant entitles
the registered holder to purchase one whole share of our Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment
as discussed below, at any time commencing on the later of 12 months from the closing of our initial public offering or 30 days after
the completion of our initial business combination. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only
for a whole number of shares of Class A common stock.


 


The warrants will expire
five years after the completion of our initial business combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption
or liquidation.


 






     


     


    

 


We will not be obligated
to deliver any shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant
exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Class A common stock underlying the
warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to our satisfying our obligations described below with
respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable, and we will not be obligated to issue shares of Class A common stock upon
exercise of a warrant unless Class A common stock issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to
be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants. In the event that the conditions
in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled
to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will we be required to net cash settle any
warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such
warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the share of Class A common stock underlying such unit.


 


We have agreed that as soon
as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of our initial business combination, we will use our best
efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants,
to cause such registration statement to become effective and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A
common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the
shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after
the closing of our initial business combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement
and during any period when we will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless
basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
a registration statement covering the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective within a specified
period following the consummation of our initial business combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration
statement and during any period when we shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless
basis pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act,
provided that such exemption is available. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise
their warrants on a cashless basis.


 


Once the warrants become
exercisable, we may call the warrants for redemption:


 


	 	•	in whole and not in part;


 


	 	•	at a price of $0.01 per warrant;


 


	 	•	upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”) to each warrant holder; and


 


	 	•	if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing once the warrants become exercisable and ending three business days before we send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.


 


If and when the warrants
become redeemable by us, we may not exercise our redemption right if the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants
is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or we are unable to effect such registration or
qualification. We will use our best efforts to register or qualify such shares of common stock under the blue sky laws of the state of
residence in those states in which the warrants were offered by us in our initial public offering.


 


If we call the warrants for
redemption as described above, our management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise its warrant to do so
on a “cashless basis.” In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis,”
our management will consider, among other factors, our cash position, the number of warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect
on our stockholders of issuing the maximum number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of our warrants. If
our management takes advantage of this option, all holders of warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for
that number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares
of Class A common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the
 “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the
average reported last sale price of the Class A common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the
date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. If our management takes advantage of this option, the notice
of redemption will contain the information necessary to calculate the number of shares of Class A common stock to be received upon
exercise of the warrants, including the “fair market value” in such case. Requiring a cashless exercise in this manner will
reduce the number of shares to be issued and thereby lessen the dilutive effect of a warrant redemption. We believe this feature is an
attractive option to us if we do not need the cash from the exercise of the warrants after our initial business combination. If we call
our warrants for redemption and our management does not take advantage of this option, our sponsor and its permitted transferees would
still be entitled to exercise their private placement warrants for cash or on a cashless basis using the same formula described above
that other warrant holders would have been required to use had all warrant holders been required to exercise their warrants on a cashless
basis, as described in more detail below.


 


A holder of a warrant may
notify us in writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will not have the right to exercise such warrant,
to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person’s affiliates), to the warrant agent’s
actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% or 9.8% (or such other amount as a holder may specify) of the shares of Class A
common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.


 


The warrants have certain
anti-dilution and adjustments rights upon certain events.


 






     


     


    




 


The warrants have been issued
in registered form under a warrant agreement between Continental, as warrant agent, and us. You should review a copy of the warrant agreement,
which was filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement we filed in connection with our initial public offering, for a complete description
of the terms and conditions applicable to the warrants. The warrant agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without
the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any mistake, including to conform the provisions of the warrant agreement to
the description of the terms of the warrants and the warrant agreement set forth in the prospectus for our initial public offering, or
to correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding public warrants
to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of public warrants.


 


The warrants may be exercised
upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form
on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price
(or on a cashless basis, if applicable), by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of warrants being exercised.
The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of Class A common stock and any voting rights until they exercise
their warrants and receive shares of Class A common stock. After the issuance of shares of Class A common stock upon exercise
of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one (1) vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.


 


In addition, if (x) we
issue additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with
the closing of our initial business combination at a Newly Issued Price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with
such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by our board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance
to our sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any founder shares held by our sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable,
prior to such issuance), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds,
and interest thereon, available for the funding of our initial business combination on the date of the consummation of our initial business
combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the Market Value is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted
(to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption
trigger price described above will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly
Issued Price. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. If, upon exercise of the warrants, a holder would be
entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number of shares of Class A
common stock to be issued to the warrant holder.
