Purpose of the Transaction
|
The information contained in Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the information below.
On December 23, 2019, M&F Group entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”), with the Issuer, for M&F Group’s commitment to purchase, at the Issuer’s option, exercisable on demand during a one-year period after the
date of the Letter Agreement (the “Investment Period”), Class A Common Stock at a per share price of $1.60, which is equal to the closing price of the Class A Common Stock for the trading day preceding the date of the Letter Agreement. The
Letter Agreement also permits M&F Group to exercise an option to purchase Class A Common Stock at the same price up to three times during the Investment Period. The aggregate amount of Class A Common Stock that may be purchased by M&F
Group (whether at its or the Company’s option) pursuant to the Letter Agreement is limited to $10.0 million.
In consideration for the commitment of M&F Group under the Letter Agreement, M&F received a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 365,472 shares of Class A Common Stock, exercisable at a price of $1.84, which is 115% of the option
price under the Letter Agreement. The Warrant is exercisable until December 23, 2026.
The obligation of M&F Group to fund and the obligation of the Issuer to issue shares under the Letter Agreement is subject to the execution of mutually acceptable definitive documentation at the time of a request for funding.
The foregoing summaries of the Letter Agreement and the Warrant are not complete and are subject in their entirety to the Letter Agreement and the Warrant themselves, which are filed as Exhibits 1 and 2 hereto and are incorporated herein by
reference.

Gentlemen:
You have indicated an interest in an additional investment by MacAndrews & Forbes Group LLC or one of its affiliates (collectively, “MacAndrews”) in Class A common stock, par value $0.01 (“Common Stock”), of vTv
Therapeutics Inc. (the “Company”) in an amount of up to $10,000,000. I am pleased to present, for your board’s consideration, the terms on which we would agree to make such an additional investment.
As set forth in more detail in the term sheet attached to this letter (collectively, the term sheet and this letter are referred to as this “Letter”) we agree to invest up to $10,000,000 in the Company, with such
commitment remaining available to the Company, at its option, for a period of one year from the date of this Letter (the “Commitment Period”). In exchange, the definitive agreement will provide that the Company will issue to us on each funding
date (the “Company Option”) Common Stock at a per share purchase price equal to $1.60 (the “Per Share Price”), which is equal to the closing price of the Common Stock for the trading day prior to the date of this Letter.
In consideration for our binding commitment, upon the execution of this Letter, the Company will issue us warrants to acquire 365,472 shares of Common Stock, exercisable at an initial exercise price of $1.84 per
share of Common Stock, subject to customary proportional adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations and similar transactions. The warrants shall be exercisable for a period of seven years commencing on the date of this Letter. We
shall also have the option, during the Commitment Period, to invest in the Company by purchasing up to $10,000,000 of shares of Common Stock at the Per Share Price (the “MacAndrews Option”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Letter, the total value of Common Stock that may be purchased pursuant to the Company Option and the MacAndrews Option shall not exceed $10,000,000 in the aggregate. The Company Option may be exercised by you, and the MacAndrews Option may be
exercised by us, in each case, by the exercising party delivering a notice (a “Funding Notice”) to the other party, which notice shall specify the aggregate value and number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased by us. Funding Notices from
the Company shall be made in writing by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of the Company. MacAndrews shall be limited to three Funding Notices during the Commitment Period; the number of Funding Notices from the Company shall
not be limited.
The Company would use the proceeds of any such investment to fund research and development, to pursue growth opportunities and for general corporate purposes.
Our obligation to fund the purchase price and the Company’s obligation to issue shares of Common Stock on the terms set forth in this Letter with respect to each investment contemplated by this Letter are subject to
the negotiation and execution of a mutually acceptable securities purchase agreement with respect to each such investment.
This Letter shall, upon execution, be binding on the parties hereto. All obligations under this Letter shall remain in full force and effect until the one-year anniversary of this Letter. The completion of the
transactions contemplated by this Letter are subject, among other things, to the negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement acceptable to each of us. The parties hereto agree that, upon delivery of a Funding Notice in accordance with the
terms of this Letter by either party, the parties shall, as promptly as practicable, (i) enter into a securities purchase agreement with respect to the investment contemplated by the Funding Notice, (ii) take all actions and further steps as may
be reasonably necessary to complete such investment, and (iii) complete such investment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Letter, failure by either party to comply with the foregoing sentence shall constitute a material breach
under this Letter, entitling the non-breaching party to specific performance (it being understood that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any such breach).
Neither this Letter nor any of the provisions hereof may be amended, modified, changed or waived except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto. This Letter shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York. This Letter contains the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to the subject matters hereof and supersedes all prior understandings and agreements relating
to the matters set forth herein. This Letter may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to constitute an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
We continue to be excited about the Company and its prospects. We look forward to implementing a transaction that would be in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders, officers and other employees, and
customers.

2.1 Manner of Exercise.
(a) This Warrant is exercisable in whole or in part at any time and from time to time on any Business Day from and after the Issue Date and at any time until 5:00 P.M., New York time, on the Expiration
Date. Such exercise shall be effectuated by submitting to the Company (i) a completed and duly executed written notice of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant (a “Notice of Exercise”) (substantially in the form attached to this
Warrant as Annex A) indicating the number of Warrant Shares then being purchased pursuant to such exercise and the manner of payment of the Warrant Price, (ii) this Warrant and (iii) payment to the Company of the Warrant Price. The date
on which such delivery and payment shall have taken place being sometimes referred to as the “Exercise Date.”
(b) Upon receipt by the Company of such Notice of Exercise, surrender of this Warrant and payment of the Warrant Price (in accordance with Section 2.1(c) hereof), the Holder shall be entitled to receive as
promptly as practicable, and in any event within five Business Days thereafter, a certificate or certificates for Warrant Shares so purchased in such denomination or denominations as the exercising Holder shall reasonably request in the Notice of
Exercise, registered in the name of the Holder or, subject to Section 4 hereof, such other name as shall be designated in the Notice of Exercise, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share, as provided in Section 2.3 hereof. If this
Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares being issued, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to
purchase the remaining Warrant Shares underlying this Warrant. Such new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical to this Warrant. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such certificate or certificates of Warrant Shares
shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares for all purposes, as of the Exercise Date. It is understood that
where this Warrant requires the delivery of certificates for Warrant Shares, other customary means (including via book-entry through a securities depository or direct registration or account entries by a registrar or transfer agent) used by the
Company for delivery of shares of Common Stock may be used.
5
(c) Payment of the Warrant Price shall be made at the option of the Holder by one or more of the following methods: (i) by delivery of a certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the amount of such Warrant Price payable to the order of the Company, (ii) by instructing the Company to withhold a number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to such Warrant Price, (iii) by surrendering to the Company shares of Common Stock previously acquired by the Holder with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to such Warrant
Price, or (iv) any combination of the foregoing. In the event of any withholding of Warrant Shares or surrender of Common Stock pursuant to clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) above where the number of shares whose Fair Market Value is equal to the
Warrant Price is not a whole number, the number of shares withheld by or surrendered to the Company shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share and the Company shall make a cash payment to the Holder based on the incremental fraction of a
share being so withheld by or surrendered to the Company in an amount determined in accordance with Section 2.3 hereof.
2.2 Payment of Taxes. All Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, issued without violation of
any preemptive or similar rights of any stockholder of the Company and free and clear of all Liens. The Company shall pay all expenses in connection with, and all taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to, the
issue or delivery thereof. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax or governmental charge which may be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant payable in respect of any Transfer involved in the issue and delivery of Warrant
Shares in a name other than that of the holder of the Warrant to be exercised, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or has established to
the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
2.3 Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue a fractional share of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant. As to any fraction of a share that the Holder, the rights under
which are exercised in the same transaction, would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock
on the Exercise Date.
3. Reservation and Authorization of Common Stock. The Company shall at all times during the term of this Warrant reserve for issuance upon exercise of the then outstanding balance of this Warrant
such number of shares of its Common Stock as shall be required for issuance of the Warrant Shares. Before taking any action that would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the
Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction over such action. If any Warrant Shares required to be
reserved for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant require registration or qualification with any Governmental Entity (other than under the Securities Act or any state securities law) before such shares may be so issued, the Company will in good
faith and as expeditiously as possible and at its expense endeavor to cause such shares to be duly registered. Before taking any action that would cause an adjustment reducing the Exercise Price below the then par value (if any) of the shares of
Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of the Warrant or that would cause the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant to exceed (when taken together with all other Outstanding shares of
Common Stock) the number Warrant Shares that the Company is authorized to issue, the Company will take any corporate action that, in the opinion of its counsel, is necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue the full
number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant at such adjusted exercise price.
6
4. Transfer, Assignment, Division, Combination, Mutilation or Loss of Warrant.
4.1 Transfer or Assignment of Warrant. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7 hereof, upon (a) surrender of this Warrant to the Company accompanied by a Form of Assignment annexed hereto
as Annex B (each, a “Form of Assignment”) duly executed and funds sufficient to pay any applicable transfer tax, and (b) delivery of an opinion of counsel to the Holder reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that, in
the opinion of such counsel, the transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act (provided that no such opinion shall be required in the event of a Transfer to a Permitted Transferee), the Company shall, without
charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant registered in the name of the assignee named in the Form of Assignment at the address, and evidencing the right to purchase the shares of Common Stock, specified in the Form of Assignment, and the Warrant
represented by this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled.
4.2 Mutilation or Loss of Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or
destruction) receipt of reasonably satisfactory indemnification, and (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date and any such lost, stolen,
destroyed or mutilated Warrant shall thereupon become void.
4.3 Division and Combination. Subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of this Warrant, this Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof to the
Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of this Warrant as to any
transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice.
4.4 Expenses. The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own expense any new Warrant required to be issued hereunder.
7
4.5 Maintenance of Books. The Company agrees to maintain books for the registration and transfer of the Warrant.
5. Rights of the Holder. The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights of a stockholder in the Company, either at law or equity, and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in this Warrant and are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.
6. Protection Against Dilution and Other Adjustments.
6.1 Adjustment of Number of Warrant Shares. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price as provided in Sections 6.3 through 6.5 hereof, the Holders of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to
purchase upon the exercise hereof, at the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of Warrant Shares (calculated to the nearest 1/100th of a share) obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares issuable on the exercise hereof immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.
6.2 Adjustment Upon Spin Off. If, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, the Company shall spin off or otherwise divest itself of a part of its business or operations or dispose of
all or of a part of its assets in a transaction in which the Company does not receive compensation for such business, operations or assets, but causes securities of another entity that are held by the Company (the “Spin Off Securities”) to
be issued to security holders of the Company, then the Company shall cause (i) to be reserved a number of Spin Off Securities (the “Reserved Spin Off Securities”) equal to the number of Spin Off Securities that would have been issued to
the Holder had the Holder exercised this Warrant in full as of immediately prior to the record date for determining the stockholders of the Company entitled to receive such Spin Off Securities (the number of Warrant Shares as of such time being
referred to herein as the “Full Exercise Amount”), and (ii) to be issued to the Holder on the exercise of this Warrant, a number of Reserved Spin Off Securities equal to (x) the Reserved Spin Off Securities multiplied by (y) a fraction,
the numerator of which shall be the number of Warrant Shares being purchased by the Holder pursuant to such exercise, and the denominator of which shall be the Full Exercise Amount (which Full Exercise Amount shall be adjusted proportionally for
any adjustments to the number of Warrant Shares made pursuant to Section 6.1).
6.3 Upon Stock Dividends, Subdivisions or Splits. If, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, the number of shares of Common Stock Outstanding is increased by a stock dividend payable
in shares of Common Stock or by a subdivision or split-up of shares of Common Stock, then, following the record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such stock dividend, or to be affected by such subdivision
or split-up, the Exercise Price shall be appropriately decreased by multiplying the Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock Outstanding immediately prior to, and the denominator of which is the
number of shares of Common Stock Outstanding immediately after, such increase in shares of Common Stock Outstanding.
8
6.4 Upon Combinations or Reverse Stock Splits. If, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, the number of shares of Common Stock Outstanding is
decreased by a combination or reverse stock split of the Outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then, following the record date to determine shares affected by such combination or reverse stock split,
the Exercise Price shall be appropriately increased by multiplying the Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock Outstanding immediately prior to, and the
denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock Outstanding immediately after, such decrease in shares of Common Stock Outstanding.
6.5 Upon Reclassifications, Reorganizations, Consolidations or Mergers. If, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, there is any capital reorganization of the Company, any
reclassification of the stock of the Company (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares), or any
consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person (where the Company is not the surviving Person or where there is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock), this Warrant shall after such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, or merger be exercisable for the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company or of the successor Person resulting from such consolidation or surviving such merger, if any, to
which the holder of the Warrant Shares deliverable (immediately prior to the time of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger) upon exercise of such Warrant would have been entitled upon such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation or merger. The provisions of this clause shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, or mergers. The Company shall not effect any such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation or merger unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the successor Person (if other than the Company) resulting from such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, shall assume, by written instrument, the obligation
to deliver to the Holder of this Warrant such shares of stock, securities or assets, which, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion.
6.6 Deferral in Certain Circumstances. In any case in which the provisions of this Section 6 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date of an event, the
Company may defer until the occurrence of such event (a) issuing to the Holder of any Warrant exercised after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the shares of capital stock issuable upon such exercise by reason of the
adjustment required by such event and issuing to the Holder only the shares of capital stock issuable upon such exercise before giving effect to such adjustments, and (b) paying to the Holder any amount in cash in lieu of a fractional share of
capital stock pursuant to Section 2.3 above; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to the Holder an appropriate instrument or due bills evidencing the Holder’s right to receive such additional shares or such cash.
9
6.7 Appraisal Procedure. In any case in which the provisions of this Section 6 shall necessitate that the Appraisal Procedure be utilized for purposes of determining an adjustment to the Exercise
Price, the Company may defer until the completion of the Appraisal Procedure and the determination of the adjustment (a) issuing to the Holder if the Holder exercises this Warrant after the date of the event that requires the adjustment and
before completion of the Appraisal Procedure and the determination of the adjustment, the shares of capital stock issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event and issuing to the Holder only the shares of capital
stock issuable upon such exercise before giving effect to such adjustment and (b) paying to the Holder any amount in cash in lieu of a fractional share of capital stock pursuant to Section 2.3 above; provided, however, that the
Company shall deliver to the Holder an appropriate instrument or due bills evidencing the Holder’s right to receive such additional shares or such cash.

public pursuant to a public offering; (b) securities issued to employees or directors of the Company pursuant to an employee stock option plan or stock incentive plan approved by the Board of Directors; (c) shares of Common Stock issued in
exchange for shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company; (d) securities Outstanding as of the date hereof (provided that the terms of such securities will not be modified in any manner following the date hereof);
(e) shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to convertible securities, options or warrants existing on the date hereof (including pursuant to the Credit Agreement); or (f) shares of Common Stock that are issued pursuant to the Commitment Letter
or any definitive documentation in respect of investments made thereunder.

(i) the Company shall compute the adjusted Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant to this Warrant in accordance with this Section 6 and shall prepare a certificate signed by the
treasurer or chief financial officer of the Company setting forth the adjusted Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant to this Warrant and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based; and
(ii) a notice to the Holder stating that the Exercise Price has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Exercise Price shall forthwith be prepared by the Company.

applicable, any portion of a Warrant, that represents (x) the greater of (A) 10% of the Warrant Shares exercisable by such transferor on the date of such transfer and (B) 36,547 Warrant Shares (subject to adjustment as set forth herein) or (y) if
the transferor shall then hold Warrants representing less than 36,547 Warrant Shares (subject to adjustment as set forth herein), all of the Warrants held by such transferor, and any such transferee shall be deemed to be a Holder for all purposes
hereunder.
13
11.2 Limitation on Exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that the Company may issue pursuant to the Commitment Letter or any
other documentation contemplated under the Commitment Letter at an effective purchase price less than the greater of book or market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the Commitment Letter
equals 19.99% of the outstanding shares of both the Common Stock and the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share, taken together, immediately preceding the date of the Commitment Letter (the “Issuable Maximum”), unless
the Company obtains shareholder approval in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market. If, at the time any Holder requests an exercise of this Warrant, the Actual Minimum (excluding any shares issued or issuable at an
effective purchase price in excess of the greater of book or market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the Commitment Letter) exceeds the Issuable Maximum (and if the Company has not
previously obtained the required shareholder approval), then the Company shall issue to the Holder requesting such exercise a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Issuable Maximum. The Company shall not be obligated to seek stockholder
approval under the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market and shall not be in breach under this Warrant Agreement, the Commitment Letter or any other documentation contemplated under the Commitment Letter for failure to issue securities
as a result of its failure to obtain shareholder approval as described above. For purposes hereof, “Actual Minimum” shall mean, as of any date, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock then issued or potentially issuable in the
future pursuant to the Commitment Letter or any other documentation contemplated under the Commitment Letter, without giving effect to any limits on the number of shares of Common Stock that may be owned by a Holder at any one time.
11.3 Supplements and Amendments; Entire Agreement. This Warrant may be amended or supplemented only by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto. This
Warrant, the Commitment Letter (together with any purchase agreements or other definitive documentation executed in connection therewith) and the Investor Rights Agreement contain the full understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the
subject matter hereof and thereof and there are no representations, warranties, agreements or understandings other than expressly contained herein and therein.
11.4 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver Of Jury Trial. The internal laws, and not the laws of conflicts (other than Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York), of New
York shall govern the enforceability and validity of this Warrant, the construction of its terms and the interpretation of the rights and duties of the Company. Any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any
matter arising out of or in connection with, this Warrant or the transactions contemplated hereby may be brought in any federal or state court located in the County and State of New York, and the Company hereby consents to the jurisdiction of
such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of
any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding which is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on the
company anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. The Company hereby irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or related to this Warrant or the
transactions contemplated hereby.
14
11.5 Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise its rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights provided under
this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and shall waive, in an action for specific performance, the defense
that a remedy at law would be adequate.
11.6 Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder to pay the Exercise Price
for any Warrant Shares other than pursuant to an exercise of this Warrant or any liability as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
11.7 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall
be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
11.8 Descriptive Headings. Descriptive headings of the several sections of this Warrant are inserted for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of the
provisions hereof.
