(“ABI”), a significant investor in Legacy Abpro’s Series E and F convertible preferred stock, pursuant to the terms of a subscription agreement dated August 22, 2024 with ABI (the “Abpro Bio Subscription Agreement”) for an aggregate purchase price of $6,225, of which $4,225 was used to repay the balance due by Legacy Abpro to ABI under the promissory note agreement (see Note 11) and the remainder of $2,000 in cash. In addition, pursuant to the Abpro Bio Subscription Agreement, ABI received an aggregate of 41,498 shares of New Abpro common stock reserved for use in the PIPE Financing or to obtain capital for ACAB or the surviving company, as defined in the Merger Agreement (the “Incentive Shares”). The Company also issued 16,667 shares of common stock of New Abpro to Celltrion, Inc., a company organized and existing under the laws of South Korea (“Celltrion”), pursuant to the terms of a subscription agreement dated August 22, 2024 with Celltrion (“Celltrion”) (the “Celltrion Subscription Agreement”, together with the “Abpro Bio Subscription Agreement”, collectively the “PIPE Subscription Agreements”) for an aggregate purchase price of $5,000. In addition, Celltrion received an aggregate of 33,333 Incentive Shares. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the Closing Date, ACAB’s sponsor, Atlantic Coastal Management II LLC (the “Sponsor”) received 20,020 shares of New Abpro common stock in lieu of repayment of $2,000 of Unpaid SPAC Expenses (as defined in the Merger Agreement) owed to the Sponsor as a result of advances made by the Sponsor to ACAB. This settlement was related to the ACAB liabilities incurred prior to the Merger and had no financial impact on the Company’s December 31, 2024 consolidated financial statements. At the Closing, and in accordance with the Sponsor Letter Agreement entered into on December 11, 2023, as amended, the Sponsor transferred 32,778 common shares to Legacy Abpro and 32,778 shares to ABI, and 32,215 shares were forfeited. The shares transferred to Legacy Abpro were deemed to be repurchased by the Company for no consideration and included in treasury stock as of the Closing Date and June 30, 2025. The shares transferred to ABI for no consideration were accounted for as a recapitalization with no impact on the December 31, 2024 consolidated financial statements. The Sponsor also transferred 6,667 shares to one of ACAB’s financial advisors for the services provided prior to the Closing Date. In addition, at the Closing, the Company issued 36,095 shares of common stock to various service providers, of which 1,095 shares were issued to an investment advisor in the PIPE Financing and the remaining 35,000 shares of common stock were issued in settlement of ACAB’s liabilities for the services provided by various legal and investment advisors prior to the Closing Date. The issuance of these shares, which related to the services provided to ACAB prior to the Merger which were expensed on the books of ACAB, had no financial impact on the Company’s December 31, 2024 consolidated financial statements. The number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Merger was:
|  | Shares |
Common stock of ACAB, net of redemptions |  |  | 7,033 |
ACAB Founder Shares, less of forfeitures and transfers |  |  | 126,076 |
New Abpro shares issued to PIPE investors |  |  | 112,247 |
New Abpro shares issued to service providers |  |  | 42,762 |
New Abpro shares issued in Merger to Legacy Abpro stockholders |  |  | 1,304,107 |
New Abpro shares transferred to investors |  |  | 72,285 |
New Abpro shares issued to settle the promissory note with executive |  |  | 20,000 |
Total shares of common stock outstanding immediately after Merger |  |  | 1,684,510 |
The Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, ACAB is treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes and Legacy Abpro is treated as the acquirer. This determination is primarily based on the fact that subsequent to the Merger, the Legacy Abpro stockholders hold a majority of the voting rights of the combined company, Legacy Abpro comprises all of the ongoing operations of the combined company, Legacy Abpro comprises a majority of the carryover governing body of the combined company, and Legacy Abpro’s senior management comprises all of the senior management of the combined company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Merger was treated as the equivalent of Legacy Abpro issuing shares for the net assets of ACAB, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of ACAB were stated at historical costs. No goodwill or other intangible assets were recorded. Operations prior to the Merger are those of Legacy Abpro. The Company received $5,700 in proceeds from the Merger and related PIPE Financing, net of ACAB transaction costs settled at the Closing. The Company incurred $2,100 in transaction costs and $900 in issuance costs related to the PIPE Financing, consisting of banking, legal, investment advisory and other professional fees, of which were recorded as a reduction of proceeds to additional paid-in capital. At the Closing Date, Legacy Abpro assumed $6,600 of net liabilities, including tax liabilities and legal fees, of ACAB. As of June 30, 2025, the ACAB liabilities were $5,725, of which $900 was included in accrued expenses, $4,400 in excise tax payable and $425 in income tax payable. As of December 31, 2024, the ACAB liabilities were $5,800, of which $1,000 was included in accrued expenses, $4,400 in excise tax payable and $400 in income tax payable. In February 2025, the Company issued 5,000 shares of common stock to Roth Capital Partners (“Roth”) as an additional payment for the services provided under the engagement letter dated July 17, 2024 between Roth and ACAB, which provided for an adjustment to their fees in shares based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock. The issuance had no impact on the June 30, 2025 condensed consolidated financial statements as the fees to Roth were deemed to be related to the Merger and were recorded as a both an increase and reduction to additional paid-in capital. |
