Domestication and Mergers

 

As previously announced, ITHAX Acquisition Corp. (“ITHAX” and, after the Domestication as described below, “New Mondee” or the “Company”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, previously entered into that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of December 20, 2021 (as may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among ITHAX, Ithax Merger Sub I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of ITHAX (“First Merger Sub”), Ithax Merger Sub II, LLC a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of ITHAX (“Second Merger Sub”) and Mondee Holdings II, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Mondee”).

 

On July 18, 2022, the parties to the Business Combination Agreement entered into a waiver, pursuant to which they agreed to waive the following closing conditions under the Business Combination Agreement: (i) that the Ithax Class A Ordinary Shares shall continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market as of the Closing Date; and (ii) ITHAX is required to maintain a minimum cash balance of $150.0 million at Closing (the “Minimum Cash Condition”).

 

On July 18, 2022, as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and described in the section titled “Domestication Proposal” beginning on page 183 of the final prospectus and definitive proxy statement, dated June 27, 2022 (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and following approval by ITHAX’s shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders held on July 15, 2022 (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”), ITHAX filed a notice of deregistration with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, together with the necessary accompanying documents, and filed a certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and a certificate of corporate domestication with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, under which ITHAX was domesticated and continues as a Delaware corporation, changing its name to “Mondee Holdings, Inc.” (the “Domestication”).

 

As a result of and upon the effective time of the Domestication, among other things: (i) immediately prior to the PIPE Financing (as defined below), each issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share, par value $0.001 per share, of ITHAX (the “Class A ordinary shares”), converted into one share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New Mondee (the “New Mondee Common Stock”); (ii) upon the First Effective Time (as defined below), each issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share, par value $0.001 per share, of ITHAX (the “Class B ordinary shares”) converted into one share of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New Mondee (the “New Mondee B Common Stock”); (iii) pursuant to the Domestication, each issued and outstanding whole warrant representing the right to purchase Class A ordinary shares of ITHAX automatically converted into the right to purchase one share of New Mondee Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share on substantially the same terms and conditions set forth in the Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”) and New Mondee, dated July 18, 2022 (the “Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.3; (iv) pursuant to the Domestication, the governing documents of ITHAX were replaced with the Certificate of Incorporation of New Mondee (the “Interim Charter”), and upon the First Effective Time (as defined below), the Interim Charter was replaced with the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of New Mondee (f/k/a ITHAX Acquisition Corp.) (the “New Mondee Certificate of Incorporation”) and the bylaws of New Mondee (the “New Mondee Bylaws”) as described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus; and (v) pursuant to the First Effective Time, New Mondee’s name changed to “Mondee Holdings, Inc.” In connection with clauses (i) through (iii) of this paragraph, each issued and outstanding unit of ITHAX that had not been previously separated into the underlying Class A ordinary shares of ITHAX and the underlying warrants of ITHAX prior to the Domestication were cancelled and the holder thereof was entitled to receive one share of New Mondee Common Stock and one-half of one warrant, with each whole warrant representing the right to purchase one share of New Mondee Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement.

On July 18, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), following the Domestication, First Merger Sub merged with and into Mondee, with Mondee surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Mondee (the “First Merger”, and the time at which the First Merger became effective, the “First Effective Time”), and immediately following the First Merger, Mondee merged with and into Second Merger Sub, with Second Merger Sub surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Mondee (the “Second Merger”, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”, and the time that the Second Merger became effective being referred to as the “Second Effective Time”).

 

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, at the First Effective Time, (i) all shares of common stock of Mondee outstanding as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time were cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive an aggregate of 60,800,000 shares of New Mondee Common Stock (the “Merger Consideration”), (ii) all shares of common stock of Mondee held in treasury of Mondee and all shares of Mondee common stock owned by any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Mondee immediately prior to the First Effective Time were cancelled without any conversion thereof, (iii) each issued and outstanding unit of First Merger Sub immediately prior to the First Effective Time were converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the first surviving company (the “First Surviving Company Common Stock”), (iv) pursuant to the New Mondee Certificate of Incorporation, each share of New Mondee Class B Common Stock was converted into one share (subject to adjustment) of New Mondee Common Stock and New Mondee will change its name to “Mondee Holdings, Inc.”, and (v) New Mondee and Continental will enter into the Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement.

 

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, at the Second Effective Time, (a) each issued and outstanding share of First Surviving Company Common Stock was automatically cancelled and ceased to exist as of the Second Effective Time; and (b) each issued and outstanding unit of Second Merger Sub immediately prior to the Second Effective Time was automatically converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable interest of the second surviving company.

 

As a result of the First Merger, among other things, (i) all outstanding Class A ordinary shares of ITHAX as of immediately prior to the Closing were exchanged at an exchange ratio of 1:1 (the “Exchange Ratio”) for an aggregate of 6,247,218 shares of New Mondee Common Stock, (ii) each warrant to purchase Class A ordinary shares of ITHAX converted into a warrant to purchase shares of New Mondee Common Stock (the “New Mondee Assumed Warrant”) for an aggregate of 12,412,500 New Mondee Assumed Warrants, with each New Mondee Assumed Warrant subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the original ITHAX warrant and having an exercise price and number of shares of New Mondee Common Stock purchasable based on the Exchange Ratio and other terms contained in the Business Combination Agreement, (iii) each option to purchase Class A ordinary shares of ITHAX converted into an option to purchase shares of New Mondee Common Stock (the “New Mondee Assumed Option”), with each New Mondee Assumed Option subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the original ITHAX option and with an exercise price and number of shares of New Mondee Common Stock purchasable based on the Exchange Ratio and other terms contained in the Business Combination Agreement and (iv) each unit of ITHAX converted into an option to purchase New Mondee Common Stock.

 

The foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1, which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

PIPE Investment

 

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, ITHAX entered into Subscription Agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) and accredited investors (together, the “Initial PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which the Initial PIPE Investors have agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and ITHAX has agreed to issue and sell to the Initial PIPE Investors, an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of New Mondee Common Stock at a price of $10.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $50,000,000 (the “Initial PIPE Investment”). Subsequently, on April 21, 2022, ITHAX entered into a Subscription Agreement with an additional investor (the “Additional PIPE Investor” together with the Initial PIPE Investors the “PIPE Investors”) pursuant to which the Additional PIPE Investor agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and ITHAX has agreed to issue and sell to the Additional PIPE Investor, 2,000,000 shares of New Mondee Common Stock at a price of $10.00 per share, for gross proceeds of $20,000,000 (the “Additional PIPE Investment”). The aggregate gross proceeds to New Mondee from the Initial PIPE Investment and the Additional PIPE Investment of 7,000,000 shares (the “PIPE Shares”) are expected to equal $70,000,000 (the “PIPE Financing”). The offer and sale of the shares of New Mondee Common Stock issued in the PIPE Financing pursuant to the Subscription Agreements have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. ITHAX granted the PIPE Investors certain registration rights in connection with the PIPE Financing. The PIPE Financing was consummated immediately prior to the First Effective Time.

The seventh amendment further provides that Mondee Holdings LLC will issue up to 3,000,000 Class G units to TCW instead of the 3,600,000 Class G units agreed to under the fourth amendment, the exact amount of which will be dependent on the aggregate amount of loans outstanding following prepayment of such loans out of proceeds of the Transactions.

Prior to the Business Combination, ITHAX’s units, Class A ordinary shares and ITHAX Public Warrants were historically quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “ITHXU,” “ITHX” and “ITHXW,” respectively.

As a result of the Domestication, all of ITHAX’s Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares automatically converted into shares of New Mondee Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. The ITHAX Public Warrants and the private warrants held by ITHAX Acquisition Sponsor LLC became warrants for New Mondee Common Stock.

Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

(a) Dismissal of independent registered public accounting firm.

 

On July 18, 2022, the audit committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”) approved the dismissal of Marcum LLP (“Marcum”), ITHAX’s independent registered public accounting firm prior to the Business Combination, which dismissal will become effective following its completion of its review of the Company’s financial statements for the second quarter of 2022, which consist only of the accounts of the pre-Business Combination special purpose acquisition company, ITHAX.

 

The report of Marcum on ITHAX’s, the Company’s legal predecessor, consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and for the year ended December 31, 2021, and for the period from October 2, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainties, audit scope or accounting principles.

 

During the period from October 2, 2020 (ITHAX’s inception) to December 31, 2021 and subsequent interim periods, there were no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) between ITHAX and Marcum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Marcum, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports on ITHAX’s financial statements for such period.

 

During the period from October 2, 2020 (ITHAX’s inception) to December 31, 2021 and subsequent interim period through July 18, 2022, there were no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act), except that for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, based upon an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of ITHAX concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective, due solely to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the Company’s accounting for complex financial instruments as a result of the change in classification of all of ITHAX’s redeemable Class A ordinary shares as temporary equity and the classification of ITHAX’s warrants as liabilities. Based on the foregoing, it was determined that ITHAX had a material weakness relating to its internal controls over financial reporting, and such material weakness had not yet been remediated as of June 30, 2021.

 

The Company provided Marcum with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and requested that Marcum furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company set forth above. A copy of Marcum’s letter, dated July 18, 2022, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Report.

 

(b) Disclosures regarding the new independent auditor.

 

On July 18, 2022, the Board approved the engagement of KNAV P.A. (“KNAV”) and appointed KNAV as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2022. KNAV served as independent registered public accounting firm of Mondee Holdings II, Inc. and its subsidiaries prior to the Business Combination. During the period from October 2, 2020 (ITHAX’s inception) to December 31, 2021 and subsequent interim period through July 18, 2022, neither the Company nor anyone on the Company’s behalf consulted with KNAV with respect to (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to us that KNAV concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any other matter that was the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event (each as defined above).
