Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
As previously announced, on February 22, 2021, Waldencast Long-Term Capital LLC (the “Sponsor”) and Dynamo Master Fund (a member of the Sponsor) entered into a forward purchase agreement (the “Sponsor Forward Purchase Agreement”), with Waldencast Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) that provided for the purchase of up to an aggregate of 13,000,000 units, with each unit consisting of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one redeemable warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $130,000,000, or $10.00 per unit, in a private placement to close substantially concurrently with the closing of the Company’s initial business combination (the “Forward Purchase Securities”). The Sponsor Forward Purchase Agreement provided that the applicable forward purchase investors may, in their sole discretion, increase the amount of capital committed under the Sponsor Forward Purchase Agreement up to an amount not to exceed $160,000,000. On October 20, 2021, the Company received an allocation notice from the Sponsor and Dynamo Master Fund committing to purchase an aggregate of 16,000,000 units, with each unit consisting of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one redeemable warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $160,000,000, or $10.00 per unit. On December 20, 2021, the Sponsor and Burwell Mountain Trust (a member of the Sponsor) entered into an assignment and assumption agreement (the “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”). The Assignment and Assumption Agreement provides for the assignment by the Sponsor and assumption by Burwell Mountain Trust of all of the Sponsor’s rights and benefits as purchaser under the Sponsor Forward Purchase Agreement, including the right to purchase the Forward Purchase Securities subscribed for by the Sponsor.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On December 16, 2021, the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company appointed Aaron Chatterley as a director of the Company. The Board determined that Mr. Chatterley qualified as an independent director under Nasdaq rules.

Mr. Chatterley, 55, founded the web development company SP New Media in 1996, where he served as Chief Executive Officer until selling the company in 2000. In 2005, Mr. Chatterley co-founded the online beauty retailer, feelunique, where he served as Chief Executive Officer until April 2014.  Mr. Chatterley led the partial sale of feelunique to Palamon Capital Partners in December 2012, as well as the sale of feelunique to LVMH/Sephora in September 2021. In addition, since 2016, Mr. Chatterley has served as a Non-Executive Director of Digital Jersey, an economic development agency, and currently serves as an audit and risk committee member. Mr. Chatterley also serves as an Ambassador for The Prince’s Trust Women Supporting Women, a youth charity organization.  We believe he is well qualified to serve on our Board because of his extensive experience in the beauty industry.

In connection with Mr. Chatterley’s services, he is expected to receive 20,000 fully vested shares of Waldencast plc subject to the closing of the Company’s initial business combination. There are no family relationships between Mr. Chatterley and any director, executive officer, or person nominated or chosen by the Company to become an executive officer of the Company. There are no transactions between the Company and Mr. Chatterley that are otherwise subject to disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
