Item 4 Purpose of Transaction

 

Sponsor Handover

 

On April 19, 2024, the Issuer’s prior sponsor CEMAC Sponsor LP, a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (the “Prior Sponsor”) and Vikasati Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “New Sponsor”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, New Sponsor agreed to purchase (i) one Class B ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Share”) of the Issuer, (ii) 3,925,000 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Shares”) of the Issuer, which were converted from Class B Shares on a one-for-one basis on May 23, 2023, and (iii) 7,605,000 private placement warrants of the Issuer issued at the time of the Issuer’s initial public offering (the “IPO”). On April 25, 2024, the parties closed (the “Closing”) the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Closing and the Management Change (as defined below) are referred to as the “Sponsor Handover.”

 

In connection with the Sponsor Handover, the Issuer, its officers and directors, the Prior Sponsor and the New Sponsor entered into additional agreements whereby the New Sponsor and its designees signed a joinder agreement (the “Joinder Agreement”) to become a party to that certain letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) and that certain registration rights agreement (“Registration Rights Agreement”), both dated November 30, 2021 and entered into in connection with the IPO, among the Issuer, the Prior Sponsor and certain equityholders of the Issuer. In addition, at the Closing, the Issuer’s IPO underwriter waived its entitlement to the payment of any deferred underwriting fees to be paid under the underwriting agreement dated November 30, 2021.

 

As part of the Sponsor Handover, the Issuer introduced a change in management (the “Management Change”) and the Board as follows: (i) effective as of the Closing, Suresh Guduru replaced Roberta Bzerzinksi as Chief Executive Officer and Brian Coad replaced Herman G. Kotzé as Chief Financial Officer; (ii) effective as of the Closing, Roberta Brzezinski, Whitney Baker, Michael Faber, Neil Harper and Darius James Roth tendered their resignations as directors. The Issuer designated each of Suresh Guduru, Brian Coad, John Levy, Suresh Singamsetty and Kishore Kondragunta to fill the vacancies left by departing Messrs. Faber, Harper and Roth and Mses. Baker and Brzezinski, which changes took effective as of Closing. The Issuer designated Suresh Guduru as chairman of the board of directors.

 

Plans or Proposals

 

The Reporting Persons do not have any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon or in connection with completion of, or following, any of the actions discussed herein.

 

 

 

 

The Reporting Persons have acquired the shares reported herein for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position and investment strategy, the price levels of the Issuer’s ordinary shares, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons and their representatives may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate. Among other things, a Reporting Person may introduce the Issuer to potential candidates for a business combination, or propose one or more business combinations with potential candidates, which may include candidates that are affiliates of such Reporting Person or in which the Reporting Person otherwise has an equity or other interest.

 

In addition, as the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of board of directors of the Issuer, Mr. Guduru will be involved in negotiations in connection with any prospective business combination of the Issuer, the decisions of the board of directors related to any such business combination, and any matters to be presented to the Issuer’s shareholders in connection therewith. Mr. Guduru is expected to be involved in reviewing possible transactions involving the Issuer and identifying candidates to serve on the board of directors. As such, the Reporting Person may be involved in transactions of the sort described in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

 

Subject to applicable rules and regulations, Reporting Persons may purchase ordinary shares of the Issuer and/or warrants in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to, in connection with or following the completion of the Issuer’s initial business combination. The purpose of any such purchases of shares could be to vote such shares in favor of the business combination and thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining shareholder approval of the business combination or to satisfy a closing condition in an agreement with a target that requires the Issuer to have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash at the closing of the Issuer’s initial business combination, where it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met. The purpose of any such purchases of warrants could be to reduce the number of warrants outstanding or to vote such warrants on any matters submitted to the warrantholders for approval in connection with the Issuer’s initial business combination. Any such purchases of the Issuer’s securities may result in the completion of the initial business combination that may not otherwise have been possible.

(c) Except for the transactions described in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons have not engaged in any transaction during the past 60 days involving the ordinary shares of the Issuer.

 

(d) Not applicable.

 

(e) Not applicable.
