Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies

 

Registration Rights

 

The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Units (including the underlying securities), and securities that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, if any, will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed upon consummation of the IPO. These holders will be entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until the termination of the applicable lock-up period for the securities to be registered. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

 

Underwriting Agreement

 

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the final prospectus relating to the IPO to purchase up to 4,500,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the IPO price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On November 5, 2021, the underwriters elected to fully exercise the over-allotment option purchasing 4,500,000 Units.

 

The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or $6,000,000 in the aggregate at the closing of the IPO. The underwriters have agreed to defer the cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per share related to the over-allotment to be paid at Business Combination ($900,000 in the aggregate). In addition, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred underwriting commissions of $0.40 per unit, or $13,800,000 from the closing of the IPO. The total deferred fee is $14,700,000 (the “Original Deferred Fee”) consisting of the $13,800,000 deferred portion and the $900,000 cash discount agreed to be deferred until Business Combination. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely if the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

 

On June 28, 2023, the Company and Cantor entered into a fee reduction agreement (the “Fee Reduction Agreement”), pursuant to which Cantor has agreed to forfeit $9,700,000 of the deferred underwriting fees payable, resulting in a remainder of $5,000,000 of deferred underwriting fees payable (the “Reduced Deferred Fee”) by the Company to Cantor upon the closing of the contemplated Transaction (as defined below) with Tevogen Bio Inc. The Reduced Deferred Fee shall be payable to Cantor in the form of 500,000 shares of the common equity securities of the entity that survives the Transaction. The Fee Reduction Agreement only applies to the consummation of the Transaction with Tevogen Bio Inc and no other potential Business Combinations that may be contemplated or consummated by the Company. In the event that the Company does not complete the Transaction with Tevogen Bio, Inc, the Original Deferred fee shall become due and payable by the Company to Cantor as originally set forth in the Underwriting Agreement, upon the consummation of a Business Combination.

 

Subscription Agreement

 

As noted in Note 5, on May 3, 2023, the Company entered into a subscription agreement (“Subscription Agreement”) with the Investor and the Original Sponsor. Pursuant to the May 4, 2023 Purchase Agreement, the Sponsor assumed the obligations of the Original Sponsor under the Subscription Agreement. Subject to, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Subscription Agreement, the parties agreed that:

 

  The Investor shall make a cash contribution of $151,000 to the Sponsor (the “Initial Capital Contribution”) on or prior to May 3, 2023, or on such date as the parties may agree in writing.
     
  The Initial Capital Contribution will in turn be loaned by the Sponsor to the Company to cover working capital expenses (the “SPAC Loan”).
     
  In consideration for the Initial Capital Contribution, the Company will issue 151,000 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company to the Investor at the closing of the initial business combination (the “De-SPAC Closing”), which shares shall be subject to no transfer restrictions or any other lock-up provisions, earn outs, or other contingencies and shall be registered as part of any registration statement to be filed in connection with the De-SPAC Closing or, if no such registration statement is filed in connection with the De-SPAC Closing, pursuant to the first registration statement to be filed by the Company or the surviving entity following the De-SPAC Closing.
     
  The SPAC Loan shall not accrue interest and shall be repaid by the Company upon the De-SPAC Closing. The Original Sponsor will pay to the Investor all repayments of the SPAC Loan the Sponsor has received within five business days of the De-SPAC Closing. The Investor may elect at the De-SPAC Closing to receive such payments in cash or Class A ordinary shares at a rate of one Class A ordinary share for each $10 of the Initial Capital Contribution. If the Company liquidates without consummating the initial business combination, any amounts remaining in the Original Sponsor or Company’s cash accounts, not including the Company’s trust account, will be paid to the Investor within five days of the liquidation.
     
  On the De-SPAC Closing, the Original Sponsor will pay the Investor an amount equal to the reasonable attorney fees incurred by the Investor in connection with the Subscription Agreement not to exceed $5,000.

 

 

On June 20, 2023, the Company entered into a second subscription agreement (the “Second Subscription Agreement”) with the Investor and SSVK Associates, LLC (the “Sponsor”). Subject to, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Second Subscription Agreement, the parties agreed that:

 

  The Investor shall make a cash contribution of up to $750,000 to the Sponsor (the “Initial Capital Contribution”) on or prior to June 21, 2023, or on such date as the parties may agree in writing.
     
  The Initial Capital Contribution will in turn be loaned by the Sponsor to the Company in cash on the later of the Sponsor’s request and the first filing of the S-4 for the SPAC’s business combination
     
  In consideration for the Additional Capital Commitment, SPAC will issue a further 1 share of Class A Common Stock for each dollar of the Additional Capital Commitment funded to the Investor at the close of the business combination (“Subscription Shares”). The Subscription Shares shall be subject to no transfer restrictions or any other lock-up provisions, earn outs, or other contingencies. The Subscription Shares (i) shall be registered as part of any registration statement issuing shares before or in connection with the De- SPAC Closing or (ii) if no such registration statement is filed in connection with the de-SPAC Closing, shall promptly be registered pursuant to the first registration statement filed by the SPAC or the surviving entity following the De-SPAC Closing, which shall be filed no later than 30 days after the De-SPAC Closing and declared effective no later than 90 days after the De-SPAC Closing.
     
  The SPAC Loan shall not accrue interest and shall be repaid by the Company upon the De-SPAC Closing. The Sponsor will pay to the Investor all repayments of the SPAC Loan the Sponsor has received within five business days of the De-SPAC Closing. The Investor may elect at the De-SPAC Closing to receive such payments in cash or Class A ordinary shares at a rate of one Class A ordinary share for each $10 of the Initial Capital Contribution. If the Company liquidates without consummating the initial business combination, any amounts remaining in the Sponsor or Company’s cash accounts, not including the Company’s trust account, will be paid to the Investor within five days of the liquidation.
     
  On the De-SPAC Closing, the Sponsor will pay the Investor an amount equal to the reasonable attorney fees incurred by the Investor in connection with the Subscription Agreement not to exceed $5,000.
