Explanatory Note

This Amendment amends the Current Report on Form 8-K of Denali Capital Acquisition Corp. (“Denali”), a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 26, 2023, in which Denali reported, among other events, the execution of the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

Item 1.01

Entry Into a Material Agreement

On January 25, 2023, Denali entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Denali, Longevity Biomedical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Company”), Denali SPAC Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Denali (“New PubCo”), Denali SPAC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of New PubCo (“Denali Merger Sub”), Longevity Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of New PubCo (“Longevity Merger Sub”), and Bradford A. Zakes, solely in the capacity as seller representative.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the parties thereto will enter into a business combination transaction (the “Business Combination” and together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”), pursuant to which, among other things, immediately following the consummation of the Target Acquisitions (as defined below), (i) Denali Merger Sub will merge with and into Denali (the “Denali Merger”), with Denali as the surviving entity of the Denali Merger, and (ii) Longevity Merger Sub will merge with and into Company (the “Longevity Merger” and together with the Denali Merger, the “Mergers”), with Company as the surviving company of the Longevity Merger. Following the Mergers, each of Company and Denali will be a subsidiary of New PubCo, and New PubCo will become a publicly traded company. At the closing of the Transactions (“Closing”), New PubCo will change its name to Longevity Biomedical, Inc., and its common stock is expected to list on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the ticker symbol “LBIO.”

The Business Combination is expected to be consummated after the required approval by the shareholders of Denali and the satisfaction of certain other conditions summarized below.

Merger Agreement

Consideration Paid to the Company - Company Transaction Consideration

The aggregate consideration (“Merger Consideration”) to be paid to the holders of Company common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Company Common Stock”), at the Closing will consist of a number of shares of common stock of New PubCo (“New PubCo Common Stock”) equal to (i) (A) $128,000,000 minus (B) the value of each outstanding option (whether vested or unvested) and warrant to purchase Company Common Stock that is converted into a New PubCo option or warrant, as applicable, in accordance with the Merger Agreement, divided by (ii) $10.00.

Effect of the Longevity Merger

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Longevity Merger (the “Longevity Effective Time”), by virtue of the Longevity Merger, (a) each share of Company Common Stock (including shares issued in connection with the Target Acquisitions and the conversion of certain Company indebtedness) outstanding immediately prior to the Longevity Effective Time (other than dissenting shares) will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of New PubCo Common Stock equal to: (i) the aggregate Merger Consideration divided by (ii) the number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock; and (b) each outstanding Company option or warrant to purchase Company Common Stock shall be converted into a New PubCo option or warrant, as applicable, to acquire the number of shares of New PubCo Common Stock calculated in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

Effect of the Denali Merger

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Denali Merger (the “Denali Effective Time” and together with the Longevity Effective Time, the “Effective Time”), by virtue of the Denali Merger:

(i) each ordinary share of Denali (“Denali Ordinary Share”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Denali Effective Time (other than Purchaser Excluded Shares (as defined below)) will be automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive one share of New PubCo Common Stock;

(ii) each Denali Ordinary Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Denali Effective Time with respect to which a Denali shareholder has validly exercised its redemption rights (collectively, the “Redemption Shares”) will not be converted into and become a share of New PubCo Common Stock, and instead will at the Denali Effective Time be converted into the right to receive from Denali, in cash, an amount per share calculated in accordance with such shareholder’s redemption rights; and

(iii) at the Denali Effective Time, by virtue of the assumption of the warrant agreement, dated as of April 6, 2022, between Denali and VStock Transfer, LLC, a California limited liability company (“the “Warrant Agreement”), by New PubCo, each warrant of Denali that (a) was included as part of each unit issued by Denali in a private placement to Denali Capital Global Investments LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), at the time of the consummation of the initial public offering (the “IPO”) of Purchaser Public Units (as defined in the Merger Agreement) entitling its holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share of Denali at a price of $11.50 per share (“Denali Private Warrants”); and (b) was included in as part of each unit issued in the IPO entitling its holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a purchase price of $11.50 per share (“Denali Public Warrants” and collectively with the Denali Private Warrant, the “Denali Warrants”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Denali Effective Time will automatically and irrevocably be modified to provide that such Denali Warrants will no longer entitle the holder thereof to purchase the number of Denali Ordinary Shares set forth therein and in substitution thereof such Denali Warrants will entitle the holder thereof to acquire such number of shares of New PubCo Common Stock per Denali Warrant that such holder was entitled to acquire pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Warrant Agreement.

“Purchaser Excluded Shares” means, without duplication, (i) the Redemption Shares, (ii) Denali Ordinary Shares (if any), that, at the Denali Effective Time, are held in the treasury of Denali, and (iii) Denali Ordinary Shares (if any), that are owned by the Company and its subsidiaries.

Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements included in this Current Report are not historical facts but are forward-looking statements, including for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “predict,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “future,” “outlook,” “target,” 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, expectations related to the terms, satisfaction of conditions precedent and timing of the Business Combination. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this Current Report, and on the current expectations of Denali’s and Company’s 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 Company. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including: changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the Business Combination, including the risk that any required stockholder or regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the Business Combination; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination; risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to Company; risks and costs relating to the regulatory approvals and compliance applicable to Company’s products; Company’s ability to obtain sufficient working capital; Company’s level of indebtedness; Company’s ability to successfully and timely acquire, develop, sell and expand its technology and products, and otherwise implement its growth strategy; risks relating to Company’s operations and business, including information technology and cybersecurity risks; risks related to the loss of requisite licenses; risks relating to potential disruption of current plans, operations and infrastructure of Company as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; risks that Company is unable to secure or protect its intellectual property; risks that the combined company experiences difficulties managing its growth and expanding operations; the ability to compete with existing or new companies that could slow the development of Company’s products or cause downward pressure on prices, fewer customer orders, reduced margins, the inability to take advantage of new business opportunities, and the loss of market share; the amount of redemption requests made by Denali’s shareholders; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; the ability to successfully select, execute or integrate future acquisitions into the business, which could result in material adverse effects to operations and financial conditions; and those factors discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in Denali’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, and in those documents that Denali or New PubCo has filed, or will file, with the SEC. 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. The risks and uncertainties above are not exhaustive, and there may be additional risks that neither Denali nor Company presently know or that Denali and 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 Denali’s and Company’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Current Report. Denali and Company anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause Denali’s and Company’s assessments to change. However, while Denali and Company may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Denali and Company specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Denali’s and Company’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Current Report. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.

Important Information for Investors and Stockholders

The Business Combination will be submitted to shareholders of Denali for their consideration and approval at a special meeting of shareholders. Denali and Company will prepare the Registration Statement to be filed with the SEC by New PubCo, which will include preliminary and definitive proxy statements to be distributed to Denali’s shareholders in connection with Denali’s solicitation for proxies for the vote by Denali’s shareholders in connection with the Business Combination and other matters as described in the Registration Statement, as well as the prospectus relating to the offer of the securities to be issued to Denali’s shareholders and certain of Company’s equity holders in connection with the completion of the Business Combination. After the Registration Statement has been filed and declared effective, Denali will mail a definitive proxy statement and other relevant documents to its shareholders as of the record date established for voting on the Business Combination. Denali’s shareholders and other interested persons are advised to read, once available, the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus and any amendments thereto and, once available, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus, in connection with Denali’s solicitation of proxies for its special meeting of shareholders to be held to approve, among other things, the Business Combination, because these documents will contain important information about Denali, Company and the Business Combination. Shareholders may also obtain a copy of the preliminary or definitive proxy statement, once available, as well as other documents filed with the SEC regarding the Business Combination and other documents filed with the SEC by Denali, without charge, at the SEC’s website located at www.sec.gov.
