Business Combination Agreement

On July 21, 2023, Chenghe Acquisition Co., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “SPAC”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with SEMILUX INTERNATIONAL LTD., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“CayCo”), SEMILUX LTD., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of CayCo (“Merger Sub”), and Taiwan Color Optics, Inc. (the “Company” and together with CayCo and Merger Sub, the “Company Parties”), a company incorporated and in existence under the laws of Taiwan with uniform commercial number of 25052644, pursuant to which, among other transactions, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into SPAC with SPAC being the surviving company and as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of CayCo (the “Merger”), and SPAC will change its name to “SEMILUX LTD.” (the “Business Combination”). The closing of the Business Combination will be conditional upon, among other things, the closing of the TCO Restructuring (the “TCO Restructuring Closing”) (as discussed further below).

The time of the closing of the Business Combination is referred to herein as the “Closing.” The date of the Closing of the Business Combination is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.” Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Business Combination Agreement.

The Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were approved by the board of directors of SPAC. The closing of the Business Combination is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2023, subject to the terms and condition of the Business Combination Agreement.

TCO Restructuring

As of the date of the Business Combination Agreement, CayCo has entered into the Phase I Restructuring Documents with certain shareholders of the Company, pursuant to which CayCo acquired 60% of the Aggregate Fully Diluted Company Shares of the Company. The Company shall use its best efforts to sign the Phase II Restructuring Documents with all of the remaining Company Shareholders within twenty (20) Business Days after the Company has received the Company Shareholder Approval. The Company Parties shall each use their respective best efforts to procure that sufficient Company Shareholders will execute the Company Restructuring Documents such that the Company Acquisition Percentage shall be at least 90.1%. The purchase and acquisition of the Company Shares by CayCo in accordance with the Company Restructuring Documents at the TCO Restructuring Closing shall be referred to as the “Company Acquisition”.

The Company Parties agree that the Company Restructuring Documents shall provide that at the TCO Restructuring Closing, CayCo shall issue and allot to each Company Shareholder who has agreed to so subscribe (“Company Shareholders Subscription” and together with Company Acquisition, the “TCO Restructuring”) in respective of each Company Share owned by such person, a number of CayCo Ordinary Shares that is no more than the Subscription Factor.

The TCO Restructuring Closing shall take place at least one (1) Business Day before the Closing Date or such other time and place as SPAC and the Company may mutually agree.

As soon as practicable and to the extent legally feasible under applicable Laws after the Closing, the Company shall enter into and consummate a share exchange transaction with CayCo pursuant to the Merger and Acquisition Act of Taiwan for CayCo to acquire the Company Shares owned by the Remaining Company Shareholders with cash consideration at a price per share no greater the per share equity value implied by the Base Equity Value.

The “Subscription Factor” is a number resulting from dividing (x) the result of the quantity of the Base Equity Value divided by US$10.00, by (y) the Aggregate Fully Diluted Company Shares as at the time of calculation. The “Aggregate Fully Diluted Company Shares” means, without duplication, the aggregate number of Company Shares that are (i) issued and outstanding or (ii) issuable upon, or subject to the consummation of any PIPE Investment, if any. The “Base Equity Value” means US$380,000,000. The “Company Acquisition Percentage” means a number, expressed as a percentage, calculated by dividing (x) the number of Aggregate Fully Diluted Company Shares owned by CayCo immediately after the TCO Restructuring Closing by (y) the Aggregate Fully Diluted Company Shares at such time.

Caution About Forward-Looking Statements

This current report may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) that are based on beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to CHEA and TCO. These forward-looking statements are based on CHEA’s and TCO’s expectations and beliefs concerning future events and involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the following words: “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “continue,” “ongoing,” “target,” “seek” or the negative or plural of these words, or other similar expressions that are predictions or indicate future events or prospects, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. Any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including projections of market opportunity and market share, the capability of TCO’s business plans including its plans to expand, the sources and uses of cash from the proposed transaction, the anticipated enterprise value of the combined company following the consummation of the proposed business combination, anticipated benefits of the proposed business combination and expectations related to the terms and timing of the proposed business combination, are also forward-looking statements.

Although each of CHEA and TCO believes that it has a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this current report, each of CHEA and TCO 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. These factors are difficult to predict accurately and may be beyond CHEA’s and TCO’s control. In addition, there will be risks and uncertainties described in the proxy statement/prospectus on Form F-4 relating to the proposed business combination, which is expected to be filed by TCO with the SEC and other documents filed by CHEA or TCO 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 expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements.

There may be additional risks that neither CHEA or TCO presently know or that CHEA and TCO 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, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by CHEA or TCO, their respective directors, officers or employees or any other person that CHEA and TCO will achieve their objectives and plans in any specified time frame, or at all. Forward-looking statements in this current report or elsewhere speak only as of the date made. New uncertainties and risks arise from time to time, and it is impossible for CHEA or TCO to predict these events or how they may affect CHEA or TCO. Except as required by law, neither CHEA nor TCO has any duty to, and does not intend to, update or revise the forward-looking statements in this current report or elsewhere after the date this current report is issued. In light of these risks and uncertainties, investors should keep in mind that results, events or developments discussed in any forward-looking statement made in this current report may not occur. Uncertainties and risk factors that could affect CHEA’s and TCO’s future performance and cause results to differ from the forward-looking statements in this release include, but are not limited to: the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the business combination; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against CHEA or TCO, the combined company or others following the announcement of the business combination; the inability to complete the business combination due to the failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of CHEA or to satisfy other conditions to closing; changes to the proposed structure of the business combination that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations; the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards following the consummation of the business combination; the risk that the business combination disrupts current plans and operations of CHEA or TCO as a result of the announcement and consummation of the business combination; the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the business combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and retain its management and key employees; costs related to the business combination; changes in applicable laws or regulations; CHEA’s estimates of expenditures and profitability and underlying assumptions with respect to shareholder redemptions and purchase price and other adjustments; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; changes in laws and regulations that impact TCO; ability to enforce, protect and maintain intellectual property rights; and other risks and uncertainties set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in CHEA’s final prospectus dated April 27, 2022 relating to its initial public offering and in subsequent filings with the SEC, including the registration statement on Form F-4 relating to the business combination expected to be filed by TCO.
