Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclsoure
On June 7, 2021, Ajax I, a Cayman Islands
exempted company (“AJAX”), and Cazoo Holdings Limited, a private limited company
formed under the laws of England and Wales (“Cazoo”), issued a press release announcing their participation
in upcoming investor conferences on June 10, 2021 and June 18, 2021. The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated
by reference herein.
The information in this current report on Form 8-K and the exhibit
attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by
reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language
in such filing.
Additional information
This Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”)
relates to a proposed business combination among AJAX, Listco and Cazoo. In connection with the proposed business combination, Listco
filed a registration statement on Form F-4 on May 14, 2021 that includes a proxy statement of AJAX in connection with AJAX’s solicitation
of proxies for the vote by AJAX’s shareholders relating to the proposed business combination with Cazoo (the “Business
Combination”) and a prospectus of Listco. The definitive proxy statement/prospectus will be sent to all AJAX shareholders, and
Listco and AJAX will also file other documents regarding the proposed Business Combination with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”). This Report does not contain all the information that should be considered concerning the proposed Business
Combination and is not intended to form the basis of any investment decision or any other decision in respect of the Business Combination.
Before making any voting or investment decision, investors and security holders are urged to read the registration statement, the proxy
statement/prospectus and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed Business
Combination as they become available because they will contain important information about the proposed transactions.
Investors and security holders will be able to
obtain free copies of the registration statement, proxy statement/prospectus and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed
with the SEC by Listco and AJAX through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov. In addition, the documents filed by AJAX may
be obtained free of charge from AJAX’s website at www.ajaxcap.com or by written request to AJAX at info@ajaxcap.com.
Participants in Solicitation
AJAX, Listco, Cazoo and their respective directors
and executive officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from AJAX’s shareholders with respect to
the proposed Business Combination. You can find information about AJAX’s directors and executive officers and their ownership of
AJAX’s securities in AJAX’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and is available free of
charge at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov. Additional information regarding the participants in the solicitation of proxies from
AJAX’s shareholders and their direct and indirect interests are included in the proxy statement/prospectus for the proposed Business
Combination. Shareholders, potential investors and other interested persons should read the proxy statement/prospectus carefully before
making any voting or investment decisions. You may obtain free copies of these documents from the sources indicated above.
No Offer or Solicitation
This Report
on Form 8-K is not a proxy statement or solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect
of the potential transaction and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities of AJAX,
the combined company or Cazoo, nor shall there be any sale of any such securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation,
or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction. No offer of
securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Report
includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The expectations, estimates, and projections of the businesses of AJAX, Listco and Cazoo may differ from
their actual results and consequently, you should not rely on these forward looking statements as predictions of future events. These
forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,”
“estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “plan,”
“may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,”
“will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements
about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Many
factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this Report, including but not limited
to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the proposed business combination;
(2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against AJAX, Cazoo, Listco or others following the announcement of the
proposed business combination and any definitive agreements with respect thereto; (3) the inability to complete the proposed business
combination due to the failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of AJAX, to obtain financing to complete the proposed business combination
or to satisfy other conditions to closing; (4) changes to the proposed structure of the proposed business combination that may be required
or appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations or as a condition to obtaining regulatory approval of the proposed business
combination; (5) the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards following the consummation of proposed business combination; (6)
the risk that the proposed business combination disrupts current plans and operations of AJAX or Cazoo as a result of the announcement
and consummation of the proposed business combination; (7) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed business
combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth
profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees; (8) costs related to the
proposed business combination; (9) changes in applicable laws or regulations and delays in obtaining, adverse conditions contained in,
or the inability to obtain regulatory approvals required to complete the proposed business combination; (10) the possibility that AJAX,
Cazoo or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (11) the impact of COVID-19
on Cazoo’s business and/or the ability of the parties to complete the proposed business combination; (12) Cazoo’s estimates
of expenses and profitability and underlying assumptions with respect to shareholder redemptions and purchase price and other adjustments;
and (13) other risks and uncertainties set forth in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements” in in AJAX’s final prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated October 27, 2020.
The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties
described in the “Risk Factors” section of AJAX’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and other
documents filed by AJAX from time to time with the SEC and the registration statement on Form F-4 that includes the proxy statement/prospectus
discussed above. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results
to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they
are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and Cazoo, AJAX and Listco assume no obligation
and do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
None of Cazoo, AJAX or Listco gives any assurance that any of Cazoo, AJAX or Listco will achieve its expectations.
Nothing in this Report should be regarded as a
representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results
of such forward-looking statements will be achieved.
Any financial and capitalization information or
projections in this Report are forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties
and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of AJAX, Listco and Cazoo. While such information and projections are necessarily
speculative, AJAX, Listco and Cazoo believe that the preparation of prospective financial information involves increasingly higher levels
of uncertainty the further out the projection extends from the date of preparation. The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected
results are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the projections. The inclusion of financial information or
projections in this Report should not be regarded as an indication that AJAX, Listco or Cazoo, or their respective representatives and
advisors, considered or consider the information or projections to be a reliable prediction of future events.
