The Merger Agreement

 

On February 12, 2024, 99 Acquisition Group Inc. (the “Registrant” or “NNAG”) entered into a Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Nava Health MD, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company” or “Nava”), the Registrant, and NNAG Merger Sub, Inc., a Maryland corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”) with the Company as the surviving corporation of the Merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of NNAG. In connection with the Merger, NNAG will change its name to “Nava Health MD, Inc.” or such other name designated by the Company by notice to NNAG, which is referred to herein as the “Combined Company.” The board of directors of NNAG (the “NNAG Board”) has unanimously (i) approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby (collectively, the “Transactions”) and (ii) resolved to recommend approval of the Merger Agreement and related matters by the stockholders of the Registrant.

Nava and its directors and executive officers may also be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from NNAG’s securityholders in connection with the proposed transaction. A list of the names of such directors and executive officers and information regarding their interests in the proposed transaction will be included in the Registration Statement for the proposed transaction.

 

Non-Solicitation

 

This Form 8-K is not a proxy statement or solicitation of a proxy, consent, or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the proposed transaction. This Form 8-K shall also not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any states or jurisdictions in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an exemption therefrom.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements made in this Form 8-K are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements about the parties' ability to close the proposed transaction, the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction, and the financial condition, results of operations, earnings outlook and prospects of NNAG and/or the proposed transaction and may include statements for the period following the consummation of the proposed transaction. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “plan,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “outlook,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “continue,” “could,” “may,” “might,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “should,” “would” and other similar words and expressions, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

 

The forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations of the management of NNAG and Nava, as applicable, and are inherently subject to uncertainties and changes in circumstances and their potential effects and speak only as of the date of such statement. There can be no assurance that future developments will be those that have been anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including: risks related to Nava's businesses and strategies; the ability to complete the proposed transaction due to the failure to obtain approval from the shareholders of NNAG and/or Nava or satisfy other closing conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement; the amount of any redemptions by existing holders of NNAG's common stock; the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction; other risks and uncertainties included under the header “Risk Factors” in the Registration Statement to be filed by NNAG, Nava and/or a successor entity of the proposed transaction, in the final prospectus of NNAG for its initial public offering dated August 21, 2023; and in NNAG's other filings with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and Nava and NNAG assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Neither Nava nor NNAG gives any assurance that Nava, NNAG or the combined company will achieve its expectations.
