Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Merger Agreement

 

On August 20, 2024, Yotta Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Yotta”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Yotta, Yotta Merger Sub Inc., a Maryland corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Yotta (“Merger Sub”), and DRIVEiT Financial Auto Group, Inc, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”).

 

The Company is in the business of operating electronic vehicle superstores that supports customers’ entire electronic vehicle experience by providing comprehensive solutions for customers, including financing and all after sales needs of warranty, service, and parts.

 

The Merger

 

The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things and upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, the following transactions will occur (together with the other agreements and transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”), and in accordance with Maryland General Corporation Law:

 

Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease, and the Company will be the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Yotta (the “Merger”). Yotta will be renamed “DRIVEiT Financial Auto Group, Inc.” The Business Combination is expected to be consummated after obtaining the required approval by the stockholders of Yotta and the Company and the satisfaction of certain other customary closing conditions.

 

Merger Consideration

 

The total consideration to be paid at the closing (the “Closing”) of the Business Combination by Yotta to the Company security holders will be an amount equal to $100 Million (the “Merger Consideration”). The Merger Consideration will be payable in shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Yotta (“Yotta Common Stock”) valued at $10 per share. 

 

The board of directors of Yotta has unanimously (i) approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement, the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) resolved to recommend approval of the Merger Agreement and related matters by the stockholders of Yotta.

 

Treatment of Securities

 

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, and without any action on the part of Yotta, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any shares of capital stock of any party at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) the following will take place:

 

Cancellation of Securities. Each share of Company capital stock, if any, that is owned by Yotta or Merger Sub or the Company (as treasury stock or otherwise), will automatically be cancelled and retired without any conversion thereof and will cease to exist, and no consideration will be delivered in exchange therefor.

 

1

 

 

Company Common Stock. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Company Common Stock”) (other than any such shares of Company capital stock cancelled as described above and any dissenting shares) shall, in accordance with the Company’s articles of incorporation, be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Yotta Common Stock equal to the Conversion Ratio.

 

Merger Sub Securities. Each share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into and become one newly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Company.

 

Bridge Financing

 

Each outstanding convertible promissory note issued by the Company in connection with the Company’s bridge financing shall be converted into Yotta preferred stock and Yotta warrants in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Bridge Financing”).

 

Representations and Warranties

 

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties thereto with respect to, among other things, (a) corporate existence and power, (b) authorization to enter into the Merger Agreement and related transactions; subsidiaries; (c) governmental authorization, (d) non-contravention, (e) capitalization; (f) corporate records, (g) consents, (h) financial statements, (i) internal accounting controls, (j) absence of certain changes, (k) properties; title to assets; (l) litigation, (m) material contracts, (n) licenses and permits, (o) compliance with laws, (p) intellectual property, (q) employee matters and benefits, (r) tax matters, (s) real property; (t) environmental laws, (u) finders’ fees, (v) directors and officers, (w) anti-money laundering laws, (x) insurance, (y) related party transactions, and (z) certain representations related to securities law and activity.

Covenants

 

The Merger Agreement includes customary covenants of the parties with respect to operation of their respective businesses prior to consummation of the Merger and efforts to satisfy conditions to consummation of the Merger. The Merger Agreement also contains additional covenants of the parties, including, among others, finders’ fees, exclusivity, notices of certain events, access to information, cooperation in the preparation of the Form S-4 and Proxy Statement, as each such terms are defined in the Merger Agreement, required to be filed in connection with the Merger and to obtain all requisite approvals of each party’s respective stockholders. Yotta has agreed to include in the Proxy Statement the recommendation of its board that its stockholders approve all of the proposals to be presented at the special meeting.

 

Each party’s representations, warranties and pre-Closing covenants will not survive Closing. All rights to indemnification shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. For a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, Yotta shall cause its organizational documents, those of its subsidiaries, and the surviving corporation to contain provisions no less favorable with respect to exculpation and indemnification of and advancement of expenses than are set forth as of the date of the Merger Agreement.

Termination

 

The Merger Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Time as follows:

 

(i) by either Yotta or the Company if (A) the Merger and related transactions are not consummated on or before the 8 month anniversary of the date of the Merger Agreement (the “Outside Closing Date”), provided that, if the SEC has not declared the Form S-4 effective on or prior to the 8 month anniversary of the Merger Agreement, the Outside Closing Date shall be automatically extended by one month; and (B) the material breach or violation of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation under the Merger Agreement by the party seeking to terminate the Merger Agreement was not the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Outside Closing Date, without liability to the other party. Such right may be exercised by Yotta or the Company, as the case may be, by giving written notice to the other at any time after the Outside Closing Date;

 

(ii) by either Yotta or the Company if any Governmental Authority, as defined in the Merger Agreement, has issued any final decree, order, judgment, award, injunction, rule or consent or enacted any law, having the effect of permanently enjoining or prohibiting the consummation of the Merger, provided that, the party seeking to terminate cannot have breached its obligations under the Merger Agreement and such breach was a substantial cause of, or substantially resulted in, such action by the Governmental Authority.

 

(iii) by mutual written consent of Yotta and the Company duly authorized by each of their respective boards of directors; and

 

(iv) by either Yotta or the Company, if the other party has breached any of its covenants or representations and warranties such that closing conditions would not be satisfied by the earlier of (A) the Outside Date and (B) 30 days following receipt by the breaching party of a written notice of the breach.

 

(v) by Yotta if the Company has not obtained the Company Stockholder Approval within five (5) Business Days following the Effective Date of the S-4 Registration Statement (the “Company Stockholder Written Consent Deadline”), and upon the Company receiving the Company Stockholder Approval, Yotta shall no longer have any right to terminate the Merger Agreement under this provision.

 

The Merger Agreement and other agreements described below have been included to provide investors with information regarding their respective terms. They are not intended to provide any other factual information about Yotta and the Company or the other parties thereto. In particular, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement were made as of a specified date, are modified or qualified by information in one or more disclosure letters prepared in connection with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what might be viewed as material to investors, or may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties. Accordingly, the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement are not necessarily characterizations of the actual state of facts about Yotta, the Company or the other parties thereto at the time they were made or otherwise and should only be read in conjunction with the other information that Yotta makes publicly available in reports, statements and other documents filed with the SEC. Yotta and the Company investors and securityholders are not third-party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement.

 

A copy of the Merger Agreement is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.

Form of Lock-Up Agreement

 

In connection with the Closing, certain key Yotta stockholders will each agree, subject to certain customary exceptions, not to (i) offer, sell contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Lockup Shares (as defined below), (ii) enter into a transaction that would have the same effect, (iii) enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Lock-Up Shares or otherwise or engage in any short sales or other arrangement with respect to the Lock-Up Shares or (iv) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii) until the date that is six months after the Closing Date. The term “Lockup Shares” mean the Merger Consideration Shares, as defined in the Merger Agreement, if any, whether or not earned prior to the end of the Lock-up Period (as defined below), and including any securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, or representing the rights to receive common stock, and the term “Lock-Up Period” means the period from the Closing Date until six (6) months after the Closing Date, provided that if the closing price of the common stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period following the consummation of the Business Combination, the Lockup Shares shall be released from lock-up.

 

Forfeiture Agreement

Registration Rights Agreement

 

At the Closing, Yotta will enter into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with certain existing stockholders of Yotta and the Company with respect to their shares of Yotta acquired before or pursuant to the Merger, and including the shares issuable on conversion of the warrants issued to the Sponsor in connection with Yotta’s initial public offering and any shares issuable on conversion of preferred stock or loans. Subject to the Lock-Up Agreements described above, the holders of a majority of the shares held by the existing Yotta stockholders, and the holders of a majority of the shares held by the Company stockholders will each be entitled to make two demands that the Company register such securities for resale under the Securities Act, or two demands each if the surviving entity is eligible to use Form S-3 or a similar short-form registration statement. In addition, the holders will have certain “piggy-back” registration rights that require Yotta to include such securities in registration statements that Yotta otherwise files. The registration rights agreement does not contain liquidating damages or other cash settlement provisions resulting from delays in registering the Company’s securities. Yotta will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Forward Looking Statements

 

Certain statements included in this Current Report on Form 8-K are not historical facts but are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “future,” “outlook,” and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding estimates and forecasts of the closing of the Merger, achievement of the conditions necessary for the closing of the Merger, other performance metrics and projections of market opportunity. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this Current Report on Form 8-K and on the current expectations of Yotta’s and the Company’s respective management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of Yotta and the Company. Some important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in any forward-looking statements could include changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions.

 

These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the Merger, including the risk that any required regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the Company or the expected benefits of the Merger, if not obtained; the failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Merger; matters discovered by the parties as they complete their respective due diligence investigation of the other parties; the ability of Yotta prior to the Merger, and the Company following the Merger, to maintain the listing of the Company’s shares on NASDAQ; costs related to the Merger; the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Merger, including the approval of the Merger Agreement by the stockholders of Yotta, the satisfaction of the minimum cash requirements of the Merger Agreement following any redemptions by Yotta’s public stockholders; the risk that the Merger may not be completed by the stated deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the stated deadline; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Yotta or the Company related to the Merger, expiration of, or failure to extend, the period of time Yotta is afforded under its organizational documents and the final prospectus of Yotta to consummate the initial business combination with the Company; the attraction and retention of qualified directors, officers, employees and key personnel of Yotta and the Company prior to the Merger, and the Company following the Merger; the ability of the Company to compete effectively in a highly competitive market; the ability to protect and enhance the Company’s corporate reputation and brand; the impact from future regulatory, judicial, and legislative changes in the Company’s industry; and, the uncertain effects of the COVID-19 pandemic; future financial performance of the Company following the Merger; the ability of the Company to forecast and maintain an adequate rate of revenue growth and appropriately plan its expenses; the ability of the Company a to generate sufficient revenue from each of its revenue streams; the ability of the Company to protect its intellectual property from competitors; the Company’s ability to execute its business plans and strategy; and those factors set forth in documents of Yotta filed, or to be filed, with SEC. The foregoing list of risks is not exhaustive.

 

If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither Yotta nor the Company presently know, or that Yotta and the Company currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect Yotta and the Company’s current expectations, plans and forecasts of future events and views as of the date hereof. Nothing in this Current Report on Form 8-K and the attachments hereto should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K and the attachments hereto, which speak only as of the date they are made and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the cautionary statements herein and the risk factors of Yotta and the Company described above. Yotta and the Company anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause their assessments to change. However, while Yotta and the Company may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, they each specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, except as required by law. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Yotta or the Company’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
