On January 31, 2024, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “First Amendment”) with the Sponsor, Buyer and Sellers, that amended and modified the Securities Purchase Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, (i) the Sponsor agreed to sell, and the Buyer agreed to purchase, 4,125,000 shares of common stock and 657,675 private placement units of the Company, which represents 76% of the total company securities owned by the Sponsor (“Transferred Sponsor SPAC Securities”),  (ii) the Sellers shall deliver the termination of indemnity agreements of Shibasish Sarkar and Vishwas Joshi, and resignations of all of the officer and directors of the SPAC, other than the officer and director(s) as mutually agreed, whose resignations shall be effective on the 10th day following the mailing to stockholders of a Schedule 14F or proxy statement pursuant to the rules of the SEC advising stockholders of a Change in Control of the Board of Directors (the “Schedule 14F Change in Control Date”) (iii) in connection with the issuance of a $1,300,000 promissory note by the Buyer to the Company, the SPAC shall issue (i) 100,000 new units and 847,675 shares of common stock from the Company at the closing of a business combination, (iv) out of the $300,000 fee due to Chardan Capital Markets LLC (the “Chardan”), $50,000 shall be rebated via wire transfer from the Chardan to the Sponsor at the Closing, (v) the Sellers and the Buyer agree and acknowledge that the Company shall purchase directors and officers’ insurance for the officers or directors of the Company that is serving or has served as an officer or director of the SPAC prior to the signing of the SPA (“Initial Officers and Directors”) with coverage of $1 million for an one (1) year, covering the period from July 26, 2023 to July 26, 2024, and (vi) the Company will use best efforts to include a provision in the definitive business combination agreement, stipulating that the potential target will refrain from initiating any legal action against Initial Officers and Directors of the Company, except in the event of fraud, negligence or bad faith prior to their resignations.

Pursuant to the Note, the Buyer agreed to loan to the Company an aggregate amount of up to $1,300,000. The Note shall be payable promptly on demand and in any event, no later than the date on which the Company terminates or consummates an initial business combination. Such Note is convertible into units having the same terms and conditions as the private placement units as described in the prospectus dated April 7, 2021 (Registration NO. 333-255106) (the “Prospectus”), at the price of $10.00 per unit, at the option of the Buyer. The Note does not bear interest.

 

As additional consideration for the Buyer making the Note available to the Company, the Company shall issue to the Buyer (a) 100,000 new units at the closing of the Business Combination, which shall be identical in all respects to the private placement units issued at the Company’s initial public offering (the “New Units”), and (b) 847,675 shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Additional Securities”) of which (i) 250,000 of the Additional Securities shall be subject to no transfer restrictions or any other lock-up provisions, earn outs or other contingencies, and shall be registered for resale pursuant to the first registration statement filed by the Company or the surviving entity in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, or if no such registration statement is filed in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, the first registration statement filed subsequent to the closing of the Business Combination, which will be filed no later than 30 days after the closing of the Business Combination and declared effective no later than 60 days after the closing of the Business Combination; and (ii) 657,675 of the Additional Securities shall be subject to the same terms and conditions applied to the insider shares described in the Prospectus. The Additional Securities and New Units shall be issued to the Buyer in conjunction with the closing of a Business Combination.

 

The proceeds of the Note will be used by the Company to pay various expenses of the Company, including any payment to extend the period of time the Company has to consummate an initial business combination, and for working capital purposes. The foregoing description of the Note is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Note, a copy of which is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
