Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

As previously disclosed, on December 29, 2022, Prime Number Acquisition I Corp., a Delaware corporation (“we”, “us”, “our”, “PNAC” or the “Company”) entered into a Business Combination Agreement, dated December 29, 2022 (as may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), with Prime Number Holding Limited, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“PubCo”), Prime Number Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Merger Sub”), Prime Number New Sub Pte. Ltd., a Singapore private company limited by shares and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (“New SubCo”), NOCO-NOCO PTE. LTD., a Singapore private company limited by shares (“noco-noco”), and certain shareholders of noco-noco collectively holding a controlling interest (together with other shareholders of noco-noco subsequently joining the transactions, the “Sellers”), pursuant to which PNAC is proposing to enter into a business combination with noco-noco involving a merger and a share exchange, among which: (i) Merger Sub will merger with and into PNAC, with PNAC as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Merger”), (ii) New SubCo will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of noco-noco from the Sellers, and in exchange, PubCo will issue to the Sellers the ordinary shares of PubCo, with noco-noco becoming a subsidiary of New SubCo and an indirect subsidiary of PubCo (the “Share Exchange”, and together with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”). Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, each of PNAC and noco-noco would become a subsidiary of PubCo, and PNAC stockholders and the Sellers would receive ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of PubCo (“PubCo Ordinary Shares”) as consideration and become the shareholders of PubCo.

 

ELOC Purchase Agreement with Arena

 

On August 14, 2023, PubCo entered into a purchase agreement (the “ELOC Purchase Agreement”) with ARENA BUSINESS SOLUTIONS GLOBAL SPC II, LTD on behalf of and for the account of SEGREGATED PORTFOLIO #9 – SPC #9 (“Arena”), which provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, PubCo has the right to direct Arena to purchase up to an aggregate of $150,000,000 of PubCo Ordinary Shares over the 36-month term of the ELOC Purchase Agreement. Under the ELOC Purchase Agreement, after the satisfaction of certain commencement conditions, including, without limitation, the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (as defined in the ELOC Purchase Agreement), PubCo has the right to present Arena with an advance notice (each, an “Advance Notice”) directing Arena to purchase any amount of PubCo Shares (each, an “Advance”) up to the Maximum Advance Amount (as defined herein).

 

The “Maximum Advance Amount” is calculated as follows: (a) if the Advance Notice is received by 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time, the lower of: (i) an amount equal to forty percent (40%) of the average of the Daily Value Traded of the PubCo Ordinary Shares on the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding an Advance Notice, or (ii) $10 million, (b) if the Advance Notice is received after 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time but on or prior to 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time, the lower of (i) an amount equal to thirty percent (30%) of the average of the Daily Value Traded of Ordinary Shares on the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding an Advance Notice, or (ii) $6 million, and (c) if the Advance Notice is received after 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time but on or prior to 12:30 p.m. Eastern Time, the lower of: (i) an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the average of the Daily Value Traded of the Ordinary Shares on the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding an Advance Notice, or (ii) $3 million. For purposes hereof, “Daily Value Traded” is the product obtained by multiplying the daily trading volume of PubCo’s Ordinary Shares on the Principal Market (as defined in the ELOC Purchase Agreement) during regular trading hours as reported by Bloomberg L.P., by the VWAP for such trading day. For the avoidance of doubt, the daily trading volume will include all trades on the Principal Market during regular trading hours.

 

The number of shares that PubCo can issue to Arena from time to time under the ELOC Purchase Agreement will be subject to the Ownership Limitation (as defined in the ELOC Purchase Agreement), the Registration Limitation (as defined in the ELOC Purchase Agreement) and the Exchange Cap (as defined in the ELOC Purchase Agreement).

 

So long as the Market Price (as defined herein) is not below the floor price of $1.00 per Ordinary Share (adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, share split or other similar transaction), PubCo, at its sole and exclusive option, may issue and sell to Arena, and Arena will purchase PubCo Ordinary Shares on the terms set out in the ELOC Purchase Agreement. “Market Price” means the simple average of the daily VWAP (as defined in the ELOC Purchase Agreement) of the Ordinary Shares during the pricing period of one (1) trading day, as notified by PubCo to Arena in the applicable Advance Notice, commencing on the Advance Notice Date. An Advance Notice will be deemed delivered on the day it is received by Arena if such notice is received by email on or prior to 12:30 p.m. Eastern Time (or later if waived by Arena in its sole discretion).

 

PubCo will control the timing and amount of sales of PubCo Ordinary Shares to Arena. Arena has no right to require any sales by PubCo, and is obligated to make purchases from PubCo as directed solely by PubCo in accordance with the ELOC Purchase Agreement.

 

 

 

 

The ELOC Purchase Agreement provides that PubCo will not be required or permitted to issue, and Arena will not be required to purchase, any PubCo Ordinary Shares under the ELOC Purchase Agreement if after giving effect to such purchase and sale the aggregate number of PubCo Ordinary Shares issued under the ELOC Purchase Agreement would exceed 19.99% of the then outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares before such proposed purchase and sale (the “Exchange Cap”); provided further that, the Exchange Cap will not apply if PubCo’s shareholders have approved issuances in excess of the Exchange Cap in accordance with the rules of the Principal Market.

 

Arena has made the representation and warranty as of the date of the ELOC Purchase Agreement and as of each Advance Notice Date and each Advance Date that neither Arena nor its affiliates has any open short position in the PubCo Ordinary Shares, nor has Arena entered into any hedging transaction that establishes a net short position with respect to the PubCo Ordinary Shares, and Arena agrees that it will not, and that it will cause its affiliates not to, engage in any short sales or hedging transactions with respect to the PubCo Ordinary Shares.

 

Within twenty (20) business days after the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Filing Date”) or such later date as mutually agreed to in writing by Arena and PubCo prior to the Filing Date, PubCo will prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement for the resale by Arena of PubCo Ordinary Shares (the “Registration Statement”) and will file one or more additional registration statements for the resale by Arena of PubCo Ordinary Shares, if necessary. PubCo acknowledges and agrees that it will not have the ability to request any Advances until the effectiveness of a registration statement registering the applicable PubCo Ordinary Shares for resale by Arena.

 

In consideration for Arena’s execution and delivery of the ELOC Purchase Agreement, PubCo will, in its sole discretion, either pay in cash, or issue to Arena, as a commitment fee, that number of PubCo Ordinary Shares having an aggregate dollar value equal to $3,000,000 (the “Commitment Fee Shares”) within thirty (30) calendar days of the closing of the Business Combination in the case of a cash settlement, or promptly (but in no event later than one (1) trading day) after the effectiveness of the Registration Statement in the case of settlement in PubCo Ordinary Shares; provided however, that PubCo must elect in writing, within ten (10) business days of the closing of the Business Combination, to pay such commitment fee in PubCo Ordinary Shares.

 

If PubCo elects to issue PubCo Ordinary Shares, the Commitment Fee Shares will be subject to a true-up after the initial issuance pursuant to paragraph above whereby PubCo will deliver irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent to electronically transfer to Arena or its designee(s) that number of PubCo Ordinary Shares having an aggregate dollar value equal to $3,000,000 based on the lower of (A) the per PubCo Ordinary Share price, which price will be equal to the simple average of the daily VWAP of the PubCo Ordinary Shares during the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (the “Commitment Fee Share Price”) and (B) the lower of (i) the simple average of the three (3) lowest intraday trade prices over the twenty (20) trading days after (and not including) the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement and (ii) the closing price on the twentieth (20th) trading day after the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. PubCo will therefore promptly (but in no event later than one (1) trading day) issue to PubCo the Commitment Fee Shares based on the Commitment Fee Share Price upon effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and will, if applicable, issue additional Commitment Fee Shares to Arena promptly (but in no event later than one (1) trading day after the end of the pricing period described in the preceding clause (i)).

 

The ELOC Purchase Agreement may also be terminated by PubCo at any time upon five (5) trading days’ prior written notice to Arena; provided that (i) there are no outstanding Advance Notices, the PubCo Ordinary Shares under which have yet to be issued, and (ii) PubCo has paid all amounts owed to Arena pursuant to the ELOC Purchase Agreement.

 

The foregoing description of the ELOC Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text the ELOC Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K certain contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of section 27A of the Securities Act and section 21E of Exchange Act that are based on beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to PNAC, noco-noco or PubCo. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the following words: “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “continue,” “ongoing,” “target,” “seek” or the negative or plural of these words, or other similar expressions that are predictions or indicate future events or prospects, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. Any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including the proposed business combination, the benefits and synergies of the proposed business combination, the markets in which Noco-Noco operates as well as any information concerning possible or assumed future results of operations of the combined company after the consummation of the proposed business combination, are also forward-looking statements. These statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Although each of PNAC, noco-noco and PubCo believes that it has a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this communication, each of PNAC, noco-noco and PubCo caution you that these statements are based on a combination of facts and factors currently known and projections of the future, which are inherently uncertain. None of PNAC, noco-noco and PubCo can assure you that the forward-looking statements in this communication will prove to be accurate. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, among others, the ability to complete the business combination due to the failure to obtain approval from PNAC’s stockholders or satisfy other closing conditions in the business combination agreement, the occurrence of any event that could give rise to the termination of the business combination agreement, the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the business combination, the amount of redemption requests made by PNAC’s public stockholders, costs related to the Business Combination, the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination, the outcome of any potential litigation, government or regulatory proceedings and other risks and uncertainties. There may be additional risks that none of PNAC, noco-noco and PubCo presently know or that PNAC, noco-noco or PubCo currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by PNAC, noco-noco or PubCo, and their respective directors, officers or employees or any other person that PNAC, noco-noco or PubCo will achieve their objectives and plans in any specified time frame, or at all. The forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K represent the views of PNAC, noco-noco or PubCo as of the date of this communication. Subsequent events and developments may cause those views to change. However, while PNAC, noco-noco and PubCo may update these forward-looking statements in the future, there is no current intention to do so, except to the extent required by applicable law. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing the views of PNAC, noco-noco or PubCo as of any date subsequent to the date of this communication.
