Business Combination Agreement
On August 15, 2024, Healtchare AI Acquisition Corp. (“HAIA” or SPAC”), a Cayman Islands exempted company entered into a Business Combination Agreement with Leading Partners Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability (“Holdco,” or the “Combined Company”) and Leading Group Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability (the “Company,” or “LEADING”)).
The Company is a provider of insurance products in the People’s Republic of China.
The board of directors of HAIA has unanimously approved and declared advisable the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination (as defined below) and resolved to recommend approval of the Business Combination Agreement and related matters by HAIA’s shareholders. The Mergers (as defined below)are expected to be consummated after obtaining the required approval by the shareholders of HAIA and the Company and the satisfaction of certain other customary closing conditions.
The following description of the Business Combination Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated herein by reference.
The Merger
The Business Combination Agreement provides that, among other things and upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, Holdco will form (a) Merger Sub I, a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco (“Merger Sub I”), and (b) Merger Sub II, a Cayman Islands exempted company as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco (“Merger Sub II” which, together with Holdco and Merger Sub I, each, individually, referred to as an “Acquisition Entity” and, collectively, the “Acquisition Entities”) whereby: (i) Merger Sub I will merge with and into the Company (the “Company Merger”), the separate existence of Merger Sub I will cease and the Company will be the surviving corporation of the Company Merger and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco (the Company is hereinafter referred to for the periods from and after the Company Merger Effective Time (as defined below) as the “Surviving Corporation”), and (ii) following confirmation of the effective filing of the Company Merger but on the same day, Merger Sub II will merge with and into HAIA (the “SPAC Merger” and together with the Company Merger, the “Mergers”), the separate existence of Merger Sub II will cease and HAIA will be the surviving corporation of the SPAC Merger and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco. Upon the Company Merger Effective Time, the holders of Company Shares (as defined below) will receive Class A ordinary shares of Holdco, par value $0.0001 per share (“Holdco Class A Ordinary Shares”) in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement, the Holdco Governing Documents and the Company Governing Documents (as such terms are defined in the Business Combination Agreement), and upon the SPAC Merger Effective Time (as defined below), the holders of HAIA Ordinary Shares (as defined below) will receive Holdco Class A Ordinary Shares.
The Company Merger will become effective (the “Company Merger Effective Time”) at the time specified in the certificate of merger issued by the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies after the plan of merger and other documents required under the Cayman Islands Companies Act shall be filed to the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands. The SPAC Merger will become effective (the “SPAC Merger Effective Time”) at the time specified in the certificate of merger issued by the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies after the plan of merger and other documents required under the Cayman Islands Companies Act shall be filed to the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands.
Consideration and Structure
Under the Business Combination Agreement, at the SPAC Merger Effective Time, each HAIA Unit that is outstanding immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time (each “HAIA Unit” being comprised of one Class A ordinary share of HAIA, par value $0.0001 per share, referred to as the “Class A Shares,” and one half of a warrant, each whole warrant enabling the holfer thereof to purchase one Class A Share at a price of $11.50 per share, such warrants being referred to as the “HAIA Public Warrants”) shall be automatically detached and the holder thereof shall be deemed to hold one HAIA Class A Share and one-half of a HAIA Public Warrant. The Class B ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Share”) of HAIA, shall automatically convert into one Class A share upon the consummation of the SPAC Merger (The Class B Share and the Class A Shares are together referred to as “HAIA Ordinary Shares”).
| 2 |
Each HAIA Ordinary Share that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist in exchange for the right to receive one newly issued Holdco Class A Ordinary Share, and without any action on the part of any holder of a HAIA Public Warrant, every HAIA Public Warrant issued and outstanding immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time shall, pursuant to the Warrant Agreement and the Assignment and Assumption Agreement (as such terms are defined in the Business Combination Agreement), automatically and irrevocably be modified to provide that such SPAC Public Warrant shall no longer entitle the holder thereof to purchase the number of HAIA Ordinary Shares set forth therein and in substitution thereof and rather that such HAIA Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to acquire such equal number of Holdco Class A Ordinary Shares (each, an “Assumed Warrant”). Each Assumed Warrant shall continue to have and be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such SPAC Public Warrant as of immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time, except that each Assumed Warrant shall be exercisable for shares of Holdco rather than for shares of HAIA Ordinary Shares. In addition, the 11,124,960 private placement warrants purchased by the initial sponsor at the time of HAIA’s initial public offering, will be cancelled in exchange for 500,000 Class A Shares which shares will be included in the HAIA Ordinary Shares being exchanged for Holdco Class A Ordinary Shares.
The Company equityholders that hold ordinary shares of the Company (the “Company Shares”) will receive an aggregate of 43,000,000 Holdco Class A Ordinary Shares derived by dividing (a) the purchase price $430,000,000, by (b) $10.00 (the “Aggregate Merger Consideration”) in exchange for all of the Company’s “Fully-Diluted Company Shares” which means the sum of the total number of outstanding Company Shares as of immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time (the “Closing”).
Sponsor Loans
Holdco shall repay the outstanding amount due under loans made by the sponsor or any of its affiliates to HAIA, or at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be converted into Holdco Class A Ordinary Shares at the price of $10.00 per Holdco Class A Ordinary Share.
The PIPE Investment
In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, Holdco, as well as HAIA and/or the Company, as applicable, will enter into subscription agreements, in the form and substance as reasonably agreed upon between HAIA and the Company (the “Subscription Agreements”), with certain investors providing for aggregate investments in Holdco Class A Ordinary Shares in a private placement to be consummated on or prior to the Closing in an amount not less than $50,000,000 (the “PIPE Investment”).

The parties to the Business Combination Agreement have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Business Combination Agreement, including, among others, covenants with respect to the conduct of the Company and HAIA and their respective subsidiaries, if any, prior to the Closing, including the Company’s covenant to deliver to HAIA its unaudited financial statements for the twelve month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and reviewed financial statements for the six (6) month period ended December 31, 2023 (the “Financial Statements”) for inclusion in the registration statement on Form F-4 to be filed by Holdco in connection with the Business Combination (the “Registration Statement”), and that such Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP applied on a consistent basis and in accordance with the requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board for public companies, and to deliver to HAIA the consolidated statement of financial position of the Company for the year ended June 30, 2024.

Important Information About the Business Combination and Where to Find It
The Business Combination will be submitted to shareholders of HAIA for their consideration.

After the Registration Statement is filed and declared effective, a definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus will be mailed to HAIA’s shareholders as of a record date to be established for voting on the Business Combination. HAIA may also file other relevant documents regarding the Business Combination with the SEC. HAIA’s shareholders and other interested persons are advised to read, once available, the preliminary Proxy Statement / Prospectus and any amendments thereto and, once available, the definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus, in connection with HAIA’s solicitation of proxies for its extraordinary meeting of shareholders to be held to approve, among other things, the Business Combination, because these documents will contain important information about HAIA, the Company and the Business Combination. Shareholders may also obtain a copy of the preliminary or definitive proxy statement, once available, as well as other documents filed with the SEC regarding the Business Combination and other documents filed with the SEC by HAIA, without charge, at the SEC’s website located at www.sec.gov.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbour” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “seek,” “target” or other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements also include, but are not limited to, statements regarding projections, estimates and forecasts of revenue and other financial and performance metrics, projections of market opportunity and expectations, the estimated implied enterprise value of the Combined Company, LEADING’s ability to scale and grow its business, the advantages and expected growth of the Combined Company, the Combined Company’s ability to source and retain talent, the cash position of the Combined Company following closing of the Business Combination, HAIA’s and LEADING’s ability to consummate the Business Combination, and expectations related to the terms and timing of the Business Combination, as applicable. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this press release, and on the current expectations of HAIA’s and LEADING’s management and are not predictions of actual performance.
| 6 |
These statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Although each of HAIA and LEADING believes that it has a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this press release, each of HAIA and LEADING cautions you that these statements are based on a combination of facts and factors currently known and projections of the future, which are inherently uncertain. In addition, there will be risks and uncertainties described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus included in the Registration Statement relating to the Business Combination, which is expected to be filed with the SEC, and other documents that may be filed by the Combined Company or HAIA from time to time with the SEC. These filings may identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Neither HAIA nor LEADING can assure you that the forward-looking statements in this press release will prove to be accurate. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, among others, the ability to complete the Business Combination due to the failure to obtain approval from HAIA’s shareholders or satisfy other closing conditions in the Business Combination Agreement, the occurrence of any event that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, the amount of redemption requests made by HAIA’s public shareholders, costs related to the Business Combination, the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination, the outcome of any potential litigation, government or regulatory proceedings, and other risks and uncertainties, including those to be included under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Registration Statement to be filed with the SEC and those included under the heading “Risk Factors” in HAIA’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and other filings with the SEC. There may be additional risks that neither HAIA nor LEADING presently know or that HAIA and LEADING currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, nothing in this press release should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. The forward-looking statements in this press release represent the views of HAIA and LEADING as of the date of this press release. Subsequent events and developments may cause those views to change. However, while HAIA and LEADING may update these forward-looking statements in the future, there is no current intention to do so, except to the extent required by applicable law. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing the views of HAIA or LEADING as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release. Except as may be required by law, neither HAIA nor LEADING undertakes any duty to update these forward-looking statements.
Participants in the Solicitation
HAIA, LEADING and their respective directors, executive officers and other members of management and employees may, under SEC rules, be deemed to be participants in the solicitations of proxies from HAIA’s shareholders in connection with the Business Combination. Information regarding the persons who may, under SEC rules, be deemed participants in the solicitation of HAIA’s shareholders in connection with the Business Combination will be set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus included in the Registration Statement to be filed with the SEC in connection with the Business Combination. Additional information regarding the participants in the proxy solicitation and a description of their direct and indirect interests will be included in the Proxy statement/Prospectus when it becomes available. Shareholders, potential investors and other interested persons should read the Proxy statement/Prospectus carefully when it becomes available before making any voting or investment decisions. You may obtain free copies of these documents from the sources indicated above.
No Offer or Solicitation
This press release is not a proxy statement or solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the Business Combination, and does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of HAIA, LEADING or the Combined Company, or a solicitation of any vote or approval, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
