Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As previous announced, on October 26, 2023, Feutune Light Acquisition Corporation (“FLFV”, or “PubCo” upon and following the Merger, as defined in the Merger Agreement noted below) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as the same may be amended, restated or supplemented, the “Merger Agreement”) with Thunder Power Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“TPH”) and Feutune Light Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of FLFV (“Merger Sub”). The transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement shall be collectively referred in this Report as the “Business Combination”.

 

Pursuant to Section 7.5 of the Merger Agreement, in the case that FLFV seeks to extend the deadline by which it must consummate the Business Combination (the “Combination Deadline”) with such number of additional one-month period (“Existing Monthly Extension”) pursuant to its certificate of incorporation effectively at the time by the 21st of each month, TPH agreed to provide such number of extension loan, in the amount of $100,000 (each a “Existing Monthly Extension Payment”) for each Existing Monthly Extension and deposit such amount into the trust account (the “Trust Account”) of FLFV, created for the benefits of the public stockholders of FLFV. In exchange for each Existing Monthly Extension Payment, FLFV shall issue a promissory note in the amount of $100,000, which shall provide for repayment upon the Business Combination or the conversion into 10,000 private placement units of FLFV. Each such note shall also entitle TPH to have senior ranking on repayments of the Existing Monthly Extension Payments provided by the sponsor of FLFV or its other designees, in the event of liquidation of FLFV.

 

Section 7.5 further provides that in the event that the Business Combination has not been consummated by March 21, 2024, after FLFV sought and secured all nine Existing Monthly Extensions provided in the certificate of incorporation effectively at the time, TPH, in its sole discretion determines that the parties are acting in good faith to consummate the Business Combination and the Business Combination is reasonably expected to be consummated, may agree on the same or different terms and conditions to provide additional loans in support of further extension of the Combination Deadline.

 

On March 18, 2024, the stockholders of FLFV approved in the Special Meeting (as defined below) to amend the certificate of incorporation of FLFV effective at the time, to provide that FLFV has until March 21, 2024 to consummate an initial business combination and may elect to extend the Combination Deadline for up to nine times, each by an additional New Monthly Extension (as defined below), for a total of up to nine months to December 21, 2024, if FLFV seeks to extend the Combination Deadline by the 21st of each month and that a New Monthly Extension Payment (as defined below) of $60,000 is deposited into the Trust Account.

 

On March 19, 2024, FLFV consulted and agreed with TPH to amend (the “Merger Agreement Amendment”) the Merger Agreement to provide that TPH shall continue to provide such number of additional New Monthly Extension Payments for each New Monthly Extension FLFV seeks to consummate the Business Combination, up to June 21, 2024. In exchange for each New Monthly Extension Payment, FLFV shall issue a New Monthly Extension Note (as defined below) in the amount of $60,000, which shall provide for repayment upon the Business Combination or the conversion into 6,000 private placement units of FLFV. Each such New Monthly Extension Note shall also continue to entitle TPH to have senior ranking on repayments of the Existing Monthly Extension Payments provided by the sponsor of FLFV or its other designees, in the event of liquidation of FLFV.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

 

On March 18, 2024, FLFV held a special meeting of the stockholders (the “Special Meeting”), where the stockholders of FLFV approved the proposal to amend FLFV’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) to allow FLFV until March 21, 2024 to consummate an initial business combination and may elect to extend the Combination Deadline up to nine times, each by an additional one-month period (each, a “New Monthly Extension”), for a total of up to nine months to December 21, 2024, by depositing to Trust Account the lesser (the “New Monthly Extension Payment”) of (i) $60,000 for all public shares and (ii) $0.035 for each public share for each one-month extension. On March 18, 2024, a certificate of amendment to the Charter (the “Charter Amendment”) was filed with the State of Delaware, effective on the same date.

 

On March 19, 2024, $60,000 (the “March New Monthly Extension Payment”) was deposited into the Trust Account for the public stockholders, which enables FLFV to extend the period of time it has to consummate its initial business combination by one month from March 21, 2024 to April 21, 2024 (the “March New Monthly Extension”). The March New Monthly Extension is the first of the up to nine New Monthly Extensions permitted under the amended Charter.

 

In connection with the March New Monthly Extension Payment, FLFV issued an unsecured promissory note of $60,000 (the “New Monthly Extension Note”) to TPH, to evidence the payments made by TPH for the March New Monthly Extension Payment, pursuant to the Merger Agreement Amendment.

 

The New Monthly Extension Note bears no interest and is payable in full upon the earlier to occur of (i) the consummation of the Business Combination or (ii) the date of expiry of the term of FLFV (the “Maturity Date”). The following shall constitute an event of default: (i) a failure to pay the principal within five business days of the Maturity Date; (ii) the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy action, (iii) the breach of FLFV’s obligations thereunder; (iv) any cross defaults; (v) an enforcement proceedings against FLFV; and (vi) any unlawfulness and invalidity in connection with the performance of the obligations thereunder, in which case the Note may be accelerated. The New Monthly Extension Note also provide that the New Monthly Extension Note is more senior in ranking on repayments of the Existing Monthly Extension Payments provided by the sponsor of FLFV or its other designees, in the event of liquidation of FLFV.

 

The payees of the New Monthly Extension Note, TPH, has the right, but not the obligation, to convert the New Monthly Extension Note, in whole or in part, respectively, into private placement units (the “Units”) of FLFV, that are identical to public units of FLFV, subject to certain exceptions, as described in the final prospectus of FLFV filed with the SEC on June 17, 2022 (File Number: 333-264221), by providing FLFV with written notice of the intention to convert at least two business days prior to the closing of the Business Combination. The number of Units to be received by TPH in connection with such conversion shall be an amount determined by dividing (x) the sum of the outstanding principal amount payable to TPH by (y) $10.00.

 

The issuance of the Note was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.]

 

A copy of the New Monthly Extension Note is attached as Exhibit 10.1 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 New Monthly Extension Note.

The Notice is only a notification of deficiency, not of imminent delisting, and has no current effect on the listing or trading of the FLFV’s securities on the Nasdaq Global Market.

 

The Notice states that FLFV has 45 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Minimum Holders Rule. FLFV intends to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Minimum Holders Rule within the required timeframe. If Nasdaq accepts FLFV’s plan, Nasdaq may grant FLFV an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice to evidence compliance with the Minimum Holders Rule. If Nasdaq does not accept FLFV’s plan, FLFV will have the opportunity to appeal the decision in front of a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.
