Proposed Business Combination

Business Combination Agreement

On July 29, 2022, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) by and among the Company, Galata Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Marti Technologies Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Marti”).

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the parties thereto will enter into a business combination transaction by which, among other things, (i) Merger Sub will merge with and into Marti (the “Merger” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Transactions”), with Marti surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and (ii) as of the end of the day immediately preceding the closing, the Company will, for U.S. tax purposes, become a U.S. corporation by reason of Section 7874(b) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), in a transaction that qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, pursuant to United States Treasury Regulations issued pursuant to the Code. The parties expect the Transactions to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2022, subject to, among other things, the approval of the Transactions by the Company’s shareholders, satisfaction of the conditions stated in the Business Combination Agreement and other customary closing conditions.

Company Stockholder Support Agreement

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, Marti delivered to the Company a stockholder support agreement (the “Support Agreement”), pursuant to which certain stockholders of Marti with ownership interests sufficient to approve the Transactions on behalf of Marti (the “Written Consent Parties”), agreed to, among other things, support the approval and adoption of the Transactions, including agreeing to execute and deliver a written consent approving the Transactions, within 3 business days of the registration statement on Form F-4 becoming effective. The Support Agreement will terminate upon the earliest to occur of (a) the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), (b) the date of the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms and (c) the effective date of a written agreement of the Company, Marti and the Written Consent Parties terminating the Support Agreement.

Investor Rights Agreement

In connection with the closing of the Merger, the Company, the Sponsor, Alper Oktem and Cankut Durgun (the “Founders”), and the other parties named therein (the “Holders”) will execute and deliver an Investor Rights Agreement (the “Investor Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, each of Callaway Capital Management, LLC (“Callaway”) (on behalf of the Sponsor) and the Founders, severally and not jointly, agrees with the Company and the Holders to take all necessary action to cause (x) the board of directors of the Company to initially be composed of seven directors, (a) six of whom have been or will be nominated by Marti and (b) one of whom has been or will be nominated by Callaway (on behalf of the Sponsor). Each of Callaway and the Founders, severally and not jointly, agrees with the Company and the Holders to take all necessary action to cause the foregoing directors to be divided into three classes of directors, with each class serving for staggered three-year terms.

Founders Stock Letter

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor and Gala Investments LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with Sponsor, the “Founder Shareholders”), entered into a letter agreement (the “Founders Stock Letter”) with the Company and Marti pursuant to which, among other things, the Founder Shareholders agreed to (a) effective upon the closing of the Merger, waive the anti-dilution rights set forth in the Company’s organizational documents, (b) vote all Founder Shares held by them in favor of the adoption and approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the Transactions and (c) not to redeem, elect to redeem or tender or submit any of their Company Class A ordinary shares for redemption in connection with the Business Combination Agreement or the Transactions.

Subscription Agreements

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company entered into convertible note subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (“PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to issue and sell to the PIPE Investors, and the PIPE Investors have agreed to subscribe for and purchase from the Company, convertible notes (the “Convertible Notes”) which are convertible into Company Class A ordinary shares, in an aggregate principal amount of $47,500,000 (the “Subscription”) and having the terms set forth in the indenture in respect of the Convertible Notes (the “Indenture”). Pursuant to the Indenture, the Convertible Notes bear an interest at a rate of 12.00% per annum, payable semi-annually (a) at a rate per annum equal to 8% with respect to interest paid in cash and (b) a rate per annum equal to 4% with respect to payment-in-kind interest, plus any additional interest or special interest that may accrue pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. The Convertible Notes are convertible into Company Class A ordinary shares at an initial conversion rate equal to approximately 87 Company Class A ordinary shares per $1,000 of principal amount of the Convertible Notes (subject to customary adjustment provisions set forth in the Indenture), and shall mature on the fifth year anniversary of the date of issuance.

The closing of the Subscription (the “Subscription Closing”) is conditioned on all conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement having been satisfied or waived, a $150,000,000 minimum cash condition which includes (i) the post-redemption Trust Account balance and (ii) Convertible Note proceeds, and other customary closing conditions. If the conditions are met, the Transactions will be consummated immediately following the Subscription Closing. The Subscription Agreements will terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, (ii) the mutual written agreement of the parties thereto, and (iii) 5:00 p.m. New York City time on April 29, 2023, if the Subscription Closing has not occurred by such date other than as a breach of such PIPE Investor’s obligations.

At the Effective Time, the Company shall adopt and file a Seconded Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Articles of Association”) with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands. The Articles of Association will govern the Company following the closing and, among other things, prohibit (a) any holder of equity securities of Marti immediately prior to the Merger and (b) any holder of Founder Shares or the Private Placement Warrants, in each case, immediately prior to the Merger, from transferring any (i) Company Class A ordinary shares issued to pre-closing shareholders of Marti as consideration pursuant to the Merger; (ii) Company Class A ordinary shares converted from Founders Shares in connection with the Merger; (iii) the Private Placement Warrants; (iv) Company Class A ordinary shares underlying such Private Placement Warrants; (v) options to purchase Company Class A ordinary shares (“Company Options”) or other equity awards in respect of Company Class A ordinary shares; or (vi) Company Class A ordinary shares underlying any Company Options or other equity awards in respect of Company Class A ordinary shares, in each case, during the period commencing on the closing and ending on the earlier of (x) 13 months following the closing and (y) the date on which the last reported sale price of the shares surpasses a certain threshold to be agreed upon by the parties prior to the closing.
