On October 26, 2022, Jupiter Wellness Acquisition Corp., a blank check, special purpose acquisition company incorporated as a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), issued a press release (the “Press Release”) announcing that the Company has entered into a definitive Business Combination Agreement (the “BCA”) on October 25, 2022, with Chijet Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (together with its subsidiaries, “Chijet”), each of the referenced holders of Chijet’s outstanding capital shares (collectively, the “Sellers”) and certain other parties formed in connection with the transactions contemplated by the BCA (the “Business Combination”), including Chijet Motor Company, Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Chijet (“Pubco”). Chijet indirectly holds controlling interests in Shandong Baoya New Energy Vehicle Co., Ltd., a Chinese company (“Baoya”), which is a producer and manufacturer of electric vehicles and FAW Jilin Automobile Co., Ltd., a Chinese company (“FAW Jilin”), which manufactures and sells traditional fuel vehicles.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the BCA, Pubco will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Chijet from the Sellers (“Purchased Shares”) in exchange for ordinary shares of Pubco and Chijet shall surrender for no consideration its shares in Pubco, such that Chijet becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco and the Sellers become shareholders of Pubco (the “Share Exchange”). Immediately thereafter, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving entity, as a result of which, (i) the Company shall become a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco, and (ii) each issued and outstanding security of the Company immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled, in exchange for the right of the holder thereof to receive a substantially equivalent security of Pubco (and with the holders of the Company’s publicly traded shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Company Class A Common Stock”), that do not redeem their shares also receiving one (1) contingent value right (“CVR,” as defined in the BCA) for each share of Company Class A Common Stock held).

 

Pursuant to the BCA, at the closing, Pubco shall issue and deliver to the Sellers an aggregate number of Pubco ordinary shares (the “Exchange Shares”) with an aggregate value equal to One Billion Six Hundred Million U.S. Dollars ($1,600,000,000), with each Pubco ordinary share valued at the redemption price, and with each Seller receiving its pro rata share of the applicable Exchange Shares based on the number of Purchased Shares owned by such Seller, divided by the total number of purchased shares owned by all Sellers. However, the issuance to certain of the Sellers (the “Earnout Participants”) of Exchange Shares having a value of Six Hundred and Seventy Four Million U.S. Dollars ($674,000,000), with each of such shares being valued at the redemption price (such Pubco ordinary shares, subject to equitable adjustment for share splits, share dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and the like after the closing, including to account for any equity securities into which such shares are exchanged or converted, and together with the earnings thereof, the “Earnout Shares”), and each of the Earnout Participants shall have the contingent right to receive a pro rata portion of such Earnout Shares and earnings thereon (such pro rata allocation based on the number of Purchased Shares owned by such Earnout Participant, divided by the total number of Purchased Shares owned by all Earnout Participants) based on Pubco and its subsidiaries achieving certain financial performance metrics over for calendar years 2023, 2024 and 2025 or meeting certain stock price metrics from the closing until 30 trading days after the date on which Pubco files its annual report for the calendar year ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively with the SEC. To the extent that any such Earnout Shares are not earned, they (along with income thereon) will be redistributed pro rata to the holders of CVRs.

Exhibit 99.1

 

 

Chijet Motor Company, Inc. entered into a business combination agreement with Jupiter Wellness Acquisition Corp. to become a public company to advance its electric vehicle business and sales of gasoline vehicles in China and Southeast Asia

 

Business combination agreement with Jupiter Wellness Acquisition Corp. values Chijet’s operating companies at $1.6 billion, subject to downward revision of up to $674 million based on certain post-Closing financial performance or stock price metrics

 

  Achieving the public listing milestone would enable Chijet to accelerate its electric vehicle development, manufacturing and sales, while expanding sales and production of conventional gas-fueled hybrid vehicles, leveraging its relationships with more than 300 dealerships in China and Southeast Asia and current annual production capacity of 240,000 vehicles at its existing 13.85 million-square-foot production base in Jilin City, China.
     
  Expected proceeds will be approximately $140.2 million before payment of transaction expenses (assuming no redemptions by JWAC public shareholders) will enhance Chijet’s production capacity, new product research and development, working capital and expansion in Southeast Asia.
     
  Mr. Hongwei Mu, Chairman of Chijet, and the existing leadership team will lead the combined company.

 

NEW YORK, NY – October 26, 2022 – Jupiter Wellness Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: JWAC) (“JWAC”), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company, today announced the signing of a definitive business combination agreement, dated October 25, 2022, with Chijet Motor Company, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Chijet”), is developing next-generation electric vehicles and expanding its manufacturing capabilities. Chijet expects to use the transaction proceeds to fund the development and production of its planned next-generation electric vehicle, with sales expected to increase as new models are launched and two production facilities, occupying a total area of 8.47 million square feet with annual production capacity of 200,000 vehicles currently under construction in Xiangyang and Yantai, China, are completed.

 

“We are focused on our vision to develop and produce electric vehicles with the latest energy-saving technologies, which has never been more important than today given the soaring cost of oil,” said Chijet Chairman Mu Hongwei. “Our management team is committed to delivering on our plans to expand our electric vehicle business and leverage our existing dealer network, our manufacturing permits and licenses, and supply chain and production capabilities.”

 

Brian John, CEO of JWAC, noted: “We are delighted to have entered into a definitive agreement with Chijet. Chijet designs, manufactures, markets and services a full line of cars, mini-trucks, sport utility vehicles and electric vehicles. As a major player in this field, and with its relationship with one of China’s leading automakers FAW Group, we believe Chijet will continue to expand its market position as the electric vehicle industry expands. JWAC and our investors thought it was important for JWAC to merge with a rapidly growing Company with the potential for big revenue and earnings growth during these down market times, and we believe we will accomplish that with the Chijet merger.

 

 

 

 

Chijet is currently focusing on expanding the business of electric vehicles while manufacturing, selling and servicing traditional fuel vehicles. Currently, the Company plans to sell vehicles to more than 300 dealerships in China and the rest of Southeast Asia, and produces a variety of models through its Chinese subsidiary FAW Jilin Automobile Co., Ltd. (“FAW Jilin”), including 3 SUV models sold under the Senya brand and 4 light truck models sold under the Jiabao brand. Chijet partners with FAW Group (“FAW”), one of the ‘Big Four’ auto manufacturers in China. With over three million cars produced and over $100 billion in annual revenue in 2021, FAW ranked 66th on the Fortune 500 Global list in 2021. In 2019, Chijet indirectly purchased a 60.05% interest in FAW Jilin from FAW. In addition, Chijet is building a 5.15 million-square-foot factory in Yantai, China, dedicated to electric vehicle production and a new planned headquarters. Chijet has a management team of industry veterans with decades of experience in engineering and design, management, financing, industrial production and financial management. The FAW Jilin production subsidiary has passed IATF16949 quality management system certification, ISO45001 occupational health and safety management system certification, ISO14001 environmental management system certification and ISO50001 energy management system certification. These certification registrations cover the design and manufacture of the sedan and minicar range.

 

Compared with its competitors, Chijet believes it has superior advantages in its production and supply chain. Its executive team has extensive experience in production technology and a management style modeled on Toyota Motor Corporation. The completion of construction of the two new production facilities and corporate new offices is expected to strengthen and optimize Chijet’s production capacity of electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles and gasoline vehicles. In addition, Chijet believes that it has established strong relationships with top institutions and suppliers from all over the world.

 

Transaction Overview

 

The business combination attributes an implied enterprise value to Chijet of an aggregate of $1.6 billion, including Chijet’s controlling interests in Shandong Baoya New Energy Vehicle Co., Ltd., the Chinese company that is developing new EV models, and FAW Jilin, the Chinese company producing and selling traditional fuel vehicles. Of the aggregate $1.6 billion, $674 million is subject to potential surrender and cancellation after the closing of the transaction for Chijet failing to achieve certain financial performance or stock price metrics. Upon completion of the transaction, Chijet currently expects proceeds will be approximately $140.2 million before payment of transaction expenses (assuming no redemptions by JWAC public shareholders). The cash proceeds raised in the transaction are currently anticipated to be used for the construction of Chijet’s Yantai electric vehicle manufacturing base and to fund company operations, support its growth and for general company operating purposes. Following completion of the proposed transaction, Chijet plans to raise additional capital to further its planned expansion of production capacity and product offering to include new models of electric vehicles.

 

In the proposed transaction, both Chijet and JWAC will be acquired by a newly-formed holding company named Chijet Motor Company, Inc. (“Pubco”), which is expected to be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”).

 

 

 

 

The boards of directors of JWAC and Chijet have unanimously approved the proposed transaction. Its closing is subject to approval by JWAC stockholders and is subject to other customary closing conditions, including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) declaring Pubco’s registration statement effective and the expiration of the applicable HSR Act waiting period. It is currently expected that the transaction will close by the end of the first quarter of 2023, assuming such closing conditions are met.
