On November 26, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 12, 2024 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and between Twin Vee PowerCats Co., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Twin Vee”), Twin Vee Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Twin Vee (“Merger Sub”), and Forza X1, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Forza”), Merger Sub was merged with and into Forza (the “Merger”), with Forza surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Twin Vee.

 

The Merger became effective on November 26, 2024, when the certificate of merger with respect to the Merger was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Effective Time”). At the Effective Time, (a) each outstanding share of common stock of Forza , par value $0.001 per share of Forza (the “Forza Common Stock”) (other than any shares held by Twin Vee) was converted into the right to receive 0.611666275 shares of Twin Vee common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Twin Vee Common Stock”), (b) each outstanding Forza stock option, whether vested or unvested, that had not previously been exercised prior to the Effective Time was converted into an option to purchase 0.611666275 shares of Twin Vee Common Stock for each share of Forza Common Stock covered by such option, (c) each outstanding warrant to purchase shares of Forza Common Stock was assumed by Twin Vee and converted into a warrant to purchase 0.611666275 shares of Twin Vee Common Stock for each share of Forza Common Stock for which such warrant was exercisable for prior to the Effective Time, and (d) the 7,000,000 shares of Forza Common Stock held by Twin Vee were cancelled.

 

The issuance of shares of Twin Vee Common Stock to the former shareholders of Forza was registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-281788), as amended, filed by Twin Vee with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and declared effective on October 10, 2024 (the “Registration Statement”). The joint proxy statement/prospectus included in the Registration Statement (the “Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) contains additional information about the Merger, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. The foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement, and transactions contemplated thereby, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is set forth as Annex A to the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and is incorporated by reference herein.

The information disclosed under Item 2.01 is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Appointment of New Director

 

At the Effective Time, in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, the size of Twin Vee’s board of directors (the “Board”) was set at five, Joseph Visconti, Preston Yarborough, Neil Ross and Kevin Schuyler remained as directors of Twin Vee and Marcia Kull was appointed as a director of Twin Vee.

 

Upon her appointment, Ms. Kull was appointed to serve on the Board’s Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Ms. Kull will participate in the non-employee director compensation arrangements described under the heading “Twin Vee Director Compensation” contained in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus and incorporated by reference herein.

 

Following the Merger, the composition of each class of the board is as follows: The Class I directors are Neil Ross and Marcia Kull, whose terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2025. The Class II director is Preston Yarborough, whose term will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2026. The Class III directors are Kevin Schuyler and Joseph Visconti, whose terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2027.

 

 

 

Departure of Directors

 

In connection with the Merger and effective as of the Effective Time, Bard Rockenbach and James Melvin resigned as directors of Twin Vee and any committees thereof. The decision to resign by each of Messrs.
