NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Registration Rights

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on December 17, 2020, the holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) will have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of the securities held by them pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. These holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company register such securities for sale under the Securities Act. In addition, these holders will have “piggy-back” registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed by the Company, subject to certain limitations. The registration rights agreement does not contain liquidated damages or other cash settlement provisions resulting from delays in registering the Company’s securities. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Raymond James Agreements

Raymond James & Associates, Inc. (“Raymond James”) was originally engaged by the Company to act as sole manager for the Initial Public Offering and would be entitled to a deferred underwriting fee of $8,750,000 upon the consummation of a Business Combination. In connection with the entry into the Merger Agreement with TriSalus, on November 11, 2022, the Company and Raymond James amended that certain Underwriting Agreement, dated December 17, 2020, pursuant to which, Raymond James agreed to waive the foregoing deferred underwriting fee in its entirety if the proposed Business Combination between the Company and TriSalus is consummated. Raymond James was separately engaged by the Company to act as its investment banking advisor in connection with a Business Combination, and will receive customary fees for its services in that role if the Business Combination with TriSalus is consummated. The Company also engaged Raymond James to act as sole placement agent for an institutional debt financing that resulted in the Company’s entry into the non-binding term sheet with Magnetar Capital LLC (“Magnetar”). In consideration for its services as the Company’s investment banking advisor and its services as placement agent, Raymond James will be entitled to receive an aggregate fee ranging between $3 million to $4.5 million from the Company at the closing of the Business Combination with TriSalus plus expense reimbursements, depending on the amount raised in the institutional debt financing with Magnetar and/or other institutional investors, excluding any incremental fee consideration for exercise of the greenshoe. If the Company is unable to consummate the Business Combination with TriSalus or is unable to obtain private financing in connection with the Business Combination with TriSalus, then Raymond James will not receive any compensation for its investment banking advisory or placement agent services, respectively.

Contingent Professional Fees

The Company incurred legal fees of $508,525 and investment advisory fees of $400,000, which were contingent upon the consummation of the Memic Business Combination. On March 12, 2022, the Memic Business Combination was terminated, as such, the incurred contingent legal and investment advisory fees are no longer due. These fees were not recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, therefore no reversal was required.

The company incurred legal fees of $479,262, which are contingent on the consummation of the Merger with TriSalus. These fees were not recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

Business Combination Agreement

On August 12, 2021, the Company entered into the Business Combination Agreement (the “Memic Business Combination Agreement”) with Memic Innovative Surgery Ltd., a private company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (“Memic”), and Maestro Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Memic (“Merger Sub”).

Termination of Business Combination Agreement

On March 10, 2022, the Company, Memic and Merger Sub entered into a Termination of Business Combination Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”), pursuant to which the parties agreed to mutually terminate the Business Combination Agreement. The termination of the Business Combination Agreement was effective as of March 9, 2022.

As a result of the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement, along with any Transaction Agreement (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) entered into in connection therewith, are void and there is no liability under either of the Business Combination Agreement or any Transaction Agreement on the part of any party thereto (including, without limitation, under the SPAC Sponsor Letter Agreement by and among Memic, the Sponsor, and the other parties signatory thereto dated August 12, 2021). Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, subject to certain exceptions, the Company, Memic and Merger Sub have also agreed, on behalf of themselves and their respective related parties, to a release of claims relating to the business combination.

Merger Agreement

On November 11, 2022, the Company (herein referred to as “MTAC” in this Note 6), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with MTAC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of MTAC (“Merger Sub”), and TriSalus Life Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“TriSalus”), pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into TriSalus (the “Merger”), with TriSalus surviving the Merger in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law as a wholly owned subsidiary of MTAC (the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the related ancillary agreements, the “TriSalus Business Combination”). The TriSalus Business Combination is subject to certain closing conditions. Upon consummation of the TriSalus Business Combination, MTAC will be renamed “TriSalus Life Sciences, Inc.”

Merger Consideration

The aggregate consideration payable to the stockholders of TriSalus at the closing of the TriSalus Business Combination (the “Closing”) is $220,000,000, payable solely in shares of MTAC common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), valued at $10.00 per share (the “Closing Merger Consideration”). Immediately prior to the Closing, the shares of Class A Common Stock of MTAC and the warrants to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock of MTAC issued to the public that comprise each issued and outstanding Unit will be automatically separated, if not already separated prior to such time, and the holder thereof shall be deemed to hold one share of Class A Common Stock of MTAC and one-third of one warrant to purchase Class A Common Stock; provided that any fractional warrants issuable to a holder upon the separation of the Units will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of warrants. Following the separation of the Units but prior to the Closing, the Class B Common Stock of MTAC will automatically convert into Class A Common Stock, and pursuant to the proposed amended and restated certificate of incorporation of MTAC to be effective immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, if approved by MTAC’s stockholders, Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock will be reclassified into a single class of Common Stock.

Immediately prior to the Closing, each share of TriSalus’ issued and outstanding preferred stock will automatically convert into shares of TriSalus common stock (the “Preferred Conversion”), and all in-the-money TriSalus warrants that would be exercised or otherwise exchanged in full in accordance with their terms by virtue of the occurrence of the TriSalus Business Combination will be exercised for shares of TriSalus common stock, such that the holders thereof will receive Closing Merger Consideration as holders of TriSalus common stock. TriSalus warrants that are out-of-the-money will be cancelled for no consideration immediately prior to the Closing. At the time of the TriSalus Business Combination, the outstanding options for shares of TriSalus common stock under TriSalus’ equity plan will be assumed by MTAC and converted into options to purchase Common Stock (the “Assumed Equity”).

Representations, Warranties and Covenants

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the parties thereto, including, among other things, covenants with respect to the conduct of MTAC and TriSalus during the period between execution of the Merger Agreement and

the Closing, including the parties’ agreement not to solicit or enter into any inquiry, proposal or offer, or any indication of interest in making an offer or proposal for an alternative competing transactions. The representations, warranties and covenants made under the Merger Agreement will not survive the Closing; provided, however, that any covenants that are to be performed at or after the Closing shall survive until such covenant has been performed or satisfied pursuant to their terms. Each of MTAC and TriSalus have agreed to use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the TriSalus Business Combination to be consummated as soon as practicable.

Termination

The Merger Agreement may be terminated prior to the Closing under certain circumstances, including, among others, (i) by written consent of TriSalus and MTAC, (ii) by written notice from either MTAC or TriSalus, if (A) the Closing has not occurred on or before December 22, 2022, as such date may be extended to match the extension of the last date for MTAC to consummate a Business Combination under its certificate of incorporation (currently June 22, 2023) obtained by MTAC stockholder approval (the “Outside Date”), unless the terminating party’s failure to comply in any material respect with its obligations under the Merger Agreement shall have contributed to the failure of the Closing to have occurred on or prior to the Outside Date, (B) the consummation of the TriSalus Business Combination is permanently enjoined, (C) MTAC does not obtain stockholder approval of the TriSalus Business Combination at the special meeting at which such approval shall be voted upon, or (D) by March 31, 2023, MTAC shall not have obtained commitments for private financing of at least $40,000,000 in support of the TriSalus Business Combination, (iii) by written notice from either MTAC or TriSalus, in the event that the other party breaches any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements under the Merger Agreement that would result in the failure of the conditions to MTAC’s or TriSalus’ obligation to consummate the TriSalus Business Combination and such breach has not been cured by the breaching party within 30 days after receiving notice of such breach, (iv) by TriSalus at any time prior to the approval of the TriSalus Business Combination by MTAC’s public stockholders, if the board of directors of MTAC has made a change in recommendation to its stockholders regarding the TriSalus Business Combination, and (v) by written notice to TriSalus from MTAC, if TriSalus does not obtain stockholder approval within 25 days after delivering an information statement regarding the TriSalus Business Combination to its stockholders.
