NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF
STOCKHOLDERS OF MONOCLE ACQUISITION CORPORATION

 

To be reconvened on December 21, 2020

 

To the Stockholders of Monocle Acquisition Corporation:

 

The previously announced special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) of Monocle Acquisition Corporation (“Monocle”) was originally convened on November 4, 2020 and adjourned, without conducting any business. Monocle previously sent a proxy statement and notice of Special Meeting to ask for your vote on important proposals related to Monocle’s previously announced proposed business combination (the “Business Combination”) with AerSale Corp., a Delaware corporation (“AerSale”).

 

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that Monocle will reconvene the Special Meeting on December 21, 2020, at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, at the offices of Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP, 200 Liberty Street, 39th Floor, New York, NY 10281. At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders will vote on the proposals described in the proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 16, 2020 (the “Proxy Statement”), including the proposal to approve and adopt the Amended and Restated Plan of Merger, dated as of September 8, 2020, by and among Monocle and AerSale, among other affiliated parties, and the Business Combination. Detailed information about the Special Meeting and the proposal can be found in the Proxy Statement previously mailed to stockholders. Stockholders will also be able to obtain copies of the Proxy Statement and other documents filed with the SEC that will be incorporated by reference therein, without charge, once available, at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov. We urge you to read carefully the Proxy Statement in its entirety, including the Annexes and accompanying financial statements of Monocle and AerSale.

 

The record date for the Special Meeting is December 1, 2020. Only stockholders of record at the close of business on that date may vote at the Special Meeting or any adjournment thereof. A proxy for voting your shares at the Meeting is enclosed. The shares represented by each valid proxy received in time will be voted at the meeting as specified.

 

Pursuant to the Monocle’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Monocle Charter”), we are providing our public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem, upon the consummation of the Business Combination, public shares then held by them for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account (the “Trust Account”) established in connection with our initial public offering (“IPO”), calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our franchise and income taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein. The per-share amount we will distribute to investors who properly redeem their public shares will not be reduced by the transaction expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination. For illustrative purposes, as of September 30, 2020, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.264. Public stockholders may elect to redeem their shares even if they vote “FOR” the Business Combination.

 

You will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:

 

(i) (a) hold public shares or (b) hold public shares through units and you elect to separate your units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares; and

 

(ii) prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 18, 2020, (a) submit a written request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Monocle’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), that Monocle redeem your public shares for cash and (b) deliver your public shares to the Transfer Agent, physically or electronically through Depository Trust Company.

 

 

 

 

Holders of units must elect to separate the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. Any demand for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests and thereafter, with our consent, until the Closing.

 

A public stockholder, together with any of his, her or its affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate his, her or its shares or, if part of such a group, the group’s shares, in excess of 15% of the shares of common stock included in the units sold in our IPO. We have no specified maximum redemption threshold under the Monocle Charter, other than the aforementioned 15% threshold, except that in no event will we redeem shares of our common stock in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. Each redemption of public shares by our public stockholders will reduce the amount in our Trust Account. Holders of our outstanding public warrants do not have redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination. Unless otherwise specified, the information in this proxy statement/prospectus assumes that none of our public stockholders exercise their redemption rights with respect to their public shares.

 

Our Initial Stockholders, officers and other directors have agreed to vote any shares of Monocle common stock held by them (the “Founder Shares”) and any public shares purchased during or after our IPO in favor of the Business Combination. Currently, our Initial Stockholders own approximately 82.2% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, including all of the Founder Shares. Additionally, our Initial Stockholders, current officers and other current directors have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any shares of our common stock they may hold in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, and the Founder Shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price.

 

The Business Combination is conditioned on the approval of certain proposals at the Special Meeting, as further described in the Proxy Statement. It is important for you to note that in the event that such proposals do not receive the requisite vote for approval, then Monocle will not consummate the Business Combination. In the event Monocle does not consummate the Business Combination and fails to complete an initial business combination by February 11, 2020, Monocle will be required to dissolve and liquidate the Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the public stockholders. Monocle’s board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” each of the proposals.
