Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 18, 2024, IX Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) amended and restated the convertible promissory note, dated as of August 21, 2023, previously issued to IX Acquisition Sponsor LLC, the Company’s sponsor (the “Sponsor”), to increase the aggregate principal amount to up to $3,500,000 (as amended and restated, the “Note”). The Note was issued in connection with advances the Sponsor may make, in its discretion, to the Company for working capital expenses. The Note bears no interest and is due and payable upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which the Company consummates its initial business combination and (ii) the date of the liquidation of the Company.
At the election of the Sponsor, up to a maximum amount of $1,500,000 of the unpaid principal balance under the Notes may be converted into warrants of the Company (the “Conversion Warrants”) at the price of $1.00 per warrant. Such Conversion Warrants will have terms identical to the warrants issued to the Sponsor in a private placement that closed simultaneously with the Company’s initial public offering.
The issuance of the Note was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Note, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
