Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant
Pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of TMT Acquisition Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“TMTC” or the “SPAC”) and the Investment Management Trust Agreement by and between TMTC and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, dated as of March 27, 2023, the SPAC had until March 31, 2024 to consummate its business combination, provided however that the SPAC was able to subsequently extend the period of time to consummate a business combination up to three (3) times for an additional three (3) months each time from March 31, 2024 to December 31, 2024, if requested by 2TM Holding LP, a Delaware limited partnership, the sponsor of the SPAC (the “Sponsor”), subject to the Sponsor or its designee, depositing $600,000 ($0.10 per share), on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline, for each three (3) month extension (or up to an aggregate of $1,800,000, or $0.30 per share, if they extend for the full nine (9) months).
As previously disclosed, TMTC entered into definitive agreement to effect a business combination (the “Business Combination”) with eLong Power Holding Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“eLong Power”), via an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 1, 2023, as amended on February 29, 2024.
Additionally, and also as previously disclosed, the first (1st) of the possible three (3) extensions was effected on April 1, 2024. On that date, a combined amount of $600,000, consisting of $300,000 from eLong Power and $300,000 from Ms. Xiaozhen Li, a limited partner of the Sponsor, was transferred from the working capital account into the trust account of the SPAC to extend the timeline to complete a business combination for an additional three (3)-month period from March 31, 2024 to June 30, 2024.
Further to the above, on July 2, 2024, eLong Power and Ms. Li made deposits into the working capital account of SPAC of $200,000 and $100,000 respectively, which was then transferred to the trust account. Additionally, on July 26 and July 29, 2024 respectively, Ms. Li made deposits into the trust account of the SPAC, in the amount of $200,000 and $100,000, totaling an amount of $300,000. An aggregate of $600,000, (the “Second Contribution”) was thus deposited into the trust account to extend the timeline to complete a business combination for an additional three (3)-month period from June 30, 2024 to September 30, 2024.
On May 20, 2024, Ms. Li directly transferred $100,000 to a service provider in partial satisfaction of payment for services rendered to the SPAC.
Such deposit of the Second Contribution and, in the case of Ms. Li, the service provider payment, is evidenced by the two convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) issued by the SPAC in the principal amounts of $200,000 to eLong Power on July 1 and $500,000 to Ms. Li on August 2, respectively. The Notes bear no interest and are repayable in full upon consummation of the Business Combination. Each Note payee may, at its election, convert its Note, in whole or in part, into TMT units, provided that written notice of such intention is given to TMT at least two (2) business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. The number of TMT units to be received by the Note payee in connection with such conversion shall be an amount determined by dividing (x) the sum of the outstanding principal amount payable to such payee by (y) $10.00. Each TMT unit consists of one (1) TMT ordinary share and one (1) right to receive two-tenths (2/10) of one (1) TMT ordinary share.
A copy of the Notes are attached as Exhibit 10.2 and Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The disclosures set forth in this Item 2.03 are intended to be summaries only and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Note.
