Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

Business Combination Agreement

 

On January 2, 2024, Israel Acquisitions Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company” or “IAC”) and Pomvom Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (the “Pomvom”) entered into a business combination agreement (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, and subject to the terms and conditions contained therein (i) Pomvom will cause a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel and wholly owned by a trustee (the “NewPubco”) to be formed, (ii) Pomvom will cause a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly owned, direct subsidiary of NewPubco (“Merger Sub”) to be formed, (iii) Pomvom will cause NewPubco and Merger Sub to become a party to the Agreement by delivering a joinder to the Agreement, (iv) Pomvom will effect the Share Split, (v) NewPubco, the shareholders of Pomvom and the holders of equity awards of Pomvom will effect the Equity Exchange, and (vi) Merger Sub will merge with and into IAC, with IAC surviving the merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of NewPubCo (the “Merger”). The collective transactions referenced in (i)-(vi) are hereinafter referred to as the “Transactions”. The terms of the Agreement, which contain customary representations and warranties, covenants, closing conditions, termination provisions, and other terms relating to the Merger, are summarized below. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Agreement.

 

Share Split and Equity Exchange

 

Prior to the closing of the Transactions (the “Closing”), Pomvom will effect a share split under which each ordinary share of Pomvom issued and outstanding will be split into a number of ordinary shares determined by multiplying each such ordinary share of Pomvom by the Split Factor (the “Share Split”).

 

Under the Agreement, holders of Pomvom equity interests are expected to receive approximately $125,000,000 (the “Pomvom Equity Value”) in aggregate consideration in the form of NewPubco Ordinary Shares, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the Pomvom Equity Value by (b) the fully diluted number of Pomvom ordinary shares (including ordinary shares issuable upon exercise, vesting and settlement of Pomvom options and Pomvom restricted stock units).

 

Immediately after the Share Split, and prior to the effective time of the Merger, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Agreement, NewPubco, the Pomvom’s shareholders and the holders of Pomvom’s equity awards will effect an equity exchange (the “Equity Exchange”) pursuant to which, (a) each ordinary share of Pomvom issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Equity Exchange will automatically be exchanged for a number of NewPubco Ordinary Shares equal to the Company Exchange Ratio, (b) each option of Pomvom that is issued and outstanding prior to the Equity Exchange Effective Time will automatically be exchanged for an option granted by NewPubco to acquire such number of NewPubco Ordinary Shares equal to the number of ordinary shares of Pomvom subject to such option, multiplied by the Company Exchange Ratio, with an exercise price per share equal to the exercise price per share of such option in effect immediately prior to the Equity Exchange Effective Time, divided by the Company Exchange Ratio, (c) each unit or award pursuant to which the holder is or may become entitled to acquire one or more ordinary shares of Pomvom (or the cash equivalent thereof) will automatically be exchanged for a restricted stock unit award granted by NewPubco to receive such number of NewPubco Ordinary Shares equal to the number of ordinary shares of Pomvom subject thereof immediately prior to the Equity Exchange Effective Time, multiplied by the Company Exchange Ratio, and (d) each dormant share (menayah redumah) of Pomvom under Israeli Law will not be exchanges and will continue to be a dormant share.

 

 

 

 

Merger and Merger Consideration

 

Under the Agreement, at the Merger Effective Time, (a) each IAC unit will be automatically detached and the holder will be deemed to hold one IAC Class A Share and one IAC Warrant, (b) each IAC Class B Share will automatically be converted into one IAC Class A Share and each IAC Class B Share will no longer be outstanding and will be automatically cancelled, (c) each IAC Class A Share issued and outstanding prior the Merger Effective Time will automatically be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive one NewPubco Ordinary Share for each IAC Class A Share, (d) each IAC Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time will cease to represent an IAC Warrant in respect of IAC Shares and will be assumed by NewPubco and automatically converted into a warrant to acquire NewPubco Ordinary Shares, (e) any IAC Share owned by IAC as treasury shares or by a subsidiary of IAC immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time will be automatically cancelled and will cease to exist without any conversion or payment therefor, (f) each IAC share subject to redemption rights issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time will be automatically cancelled and cease to exist and will thereafter represent only the right to be paid a pro rata share of the redemption amount in accordance with IAC Articles of Association, (g) each IAC share issued and outstanding prior to the Merger Effective Time for which any IAC shareholder had validly exercised their dissenters’ rights will not be exchanged for one NewPubco Ordinary Share and will be automatically cancelled and will thereafter represent only the right to be paid the fair value of such shares and any other rights granted by the Cayman Companies Law, and (h) each ordinary share of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time will be converted into one ordinary share of the Surviving Company.
