Description of the Transactions

 

On November 12, 2023, Tristar Acquisition I Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Tristar” or the “Purchaser”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Helport Limited, a business company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (the “Helport”, or the “Company”), Helport AI Limited, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability in the British Virgin Islands, (“Pubco”), Merger I Limited, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability in the British Virgin Islands and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“First Merger Sub”), and Merger II Limited, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Second Merger Sub”).

 

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, (a) on August 1, 2024, First Merger Sub merged with and into the Company (the “First Merger”), with the Company surviving the First Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco and the outstanding Company Securities being converted into the right to receive Pubco Securities; (b) on August 2, 2024, the Closing Date and immediately following the First Merger, and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, Second Merger Sub merged with and into the Purchaser (the “Second Merger”, and together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with the Purchaser surviving the Second Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco and the outstanding Purchaser Securities being converted into the right to receive Pubco Securities.

 

 

 

 

Under the Business Combination Agreement, as amended, the Aggregate Merger Consideration Amount paid to the shareholders of Helport was (a) Three Hundred and Thirty-Five Million U.S. Dollars ($335,000,000) minus (b) the amount, if any, by which the Target Net Working Capital Amount exceeds the Net Working Capital (but not less than zero) minus (c) if Closing Net Debt is a positive number, the amount of Closing Net Debt, plus (c) if Closing Net Debt is a negative number, the absolute value of the amount of Closing Net Debt, minus (d) the amount of any unpaid Transaction Expenses. The Aggregate Merger Consideration was calculated to be $336.42 million and was paid entirely in shares, comprised of newly issued ordinary shares of the PubCo.

 

As a result of the Mergers, (a) Each Company Ordinary Share that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time and after the Conversion was, as of the First Merger Effective Time, canceled by virtue of the First Merger and converted into the right to receive 100% of such number of Pubco Ordinary Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio; (b) On the Closing Date and immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time, each Company Preferred Share that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time was canceled in exchange for the right to receive a number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Company Ordinary Shares at the then effective conversion rate as calculated pursuant to the then effective amended and restated articles of associations of the Company; (c) Any Company Convertible Security, to the extent then outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time, was automatically, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, assumed by the Pubco and converted into a convertible security of Pubco, subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the corresponding former Company Convertible Securities immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time, taking into account any changes thereto by reason of the Agreement or the Transactions (the “Pubco Convertible Security”); (d) each ordinary share of the Purchaser that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive one PubCo Ordinary Share. Each of outstanding Purchaser Public Warrant and Purchaser Private Warrant was converted into one PubCo Public Warrant and one PubCo Private Warrant, respectively.

 

The following summarizes the unaudited pro forma the Ordinary Shares outstanding upon the Closing:

 

   Shares outstanding 
   Ownership in shares   Ownership % 
Tristar ordinary shareholders held by public shareholders1   128,103    0.34%
Tristar ordinary shareholders held by Founders   5,750,000    15.48%
Shares issued to PIPE Investors2   509,259    1.37%
Shares issued to Convertible Promissory Notes Holders3   464,838    1.25%
Shares issued to Helport shareholders in Business Combination   30,280,768    81.56%
Total Pubco Ordinary Shares outstanding   37,132,968    100.00%

 

 

1128,103 Tristar shares held by public shareholders were left after actual redemption of 10,480,699 shares in July 2024.
2On August 2, 2024, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, Pubco received aggregate gross proceeds of $5.5 million out of the $15 million PIPE Investment and issued an aggregate of 509,259 Pubco Ordinary Shares to the PIPE Investors for such subscription.
3On August 2, 2024, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, all the received funds of $4,889,074 from the issuance of Convertible Promissory Notes plus the accrued interests from issuance date to closing date of the Business Combination (“Conversion Amount”) were automatically converted into 464,838 Pubco Ordinary Shares Convertible Promissory Notes Holders.

 

Accounting for the Transactions

 

The Transactions will be accounted for as a reverse merger in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Tristar will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on Helport shareholders expecting to have a majority of the voting power of the combined company, Helport comprising the ongoing operations of the combined entity, Helport comprising a majority of the governing body of the combined company, and Helport’s senior management comprising the senior management of the combined company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Transactions will be treated as the equivalent of Helport issuing share for the net assets of Tristar, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Tristar will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Transactions will be those of Helport.

Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

 

The historical financial information has been adjusted to give pro forma effect to events that depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and present other transaction effects that have occurred or reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements were prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, SEC Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Business.” Management elected not to present any Management’s Adjustments.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information is for illustrative purposes only. The financial results may have been different had the companies always been combined. You should not rely on the unaudited pro forma combined financial information as being indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved had the companies always been combined or the future results that the combined company will experience. Tristar and Helport have not had any historical relationship prior to the Transactions. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

 

There is no historical activity with respect to Pubco, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub accordingly, no adjustments were required with respect to these entities in the pro forma combined financial statements.

 

Included in the shares outstanding and weighted average shares outstanding as presented in the pro forma combined financial statements are 30,280,768 Ordinary Shares of Pubco issued to the Sellers, such amount calculated using the Helport Merger Shares, times Helport Exchange Ratio. Helport Merger Shares means a number of Pubco Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient determined by dividing (i) the Aggregate Merger Consideration Amount by (ii) Per Share Price. Per Share Price means the Redemption Price, which shall be no less than the par value of Purchaser Ordinary Shares. Helport Exchange Ratio represents the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Company Merger Shares as of the First Merger Effective Time divided by (ii) the aggregate number of, without duplication, Company Ordinary Shares that are (i) issued and outstanding, and (ii) issuable directly or indirectly upon, or subject to, the conversion, exercise or settlement of any Company Preferred Shares and Company Convertible Securities.

 

Upon the completion of the Business Combination, after considering the actual redemption of 10,480,699 shares in July 2024 (prior to giving effect to any warrant exercises and assuming automatic conversion of rights into ordinary shares), Public Shareholders, the Sponsor and other Initial Shareholders, PIPE Investors, Convertible Promissory Notes Holders and the Sellers will own approximately 0.34%, 15.48%, 1.37%, 1.25% and 81.56% of the outstanding shares of PubCo, respectively, such percentages calculated assuming that the Sellers and their affiliates receive approximately 30,280,768 Ordinary Shares of PubCo, derived from the shares outstanding and weighted average shares outstanding as presented in the pro forma combined financial statements (after rounding adjustment).

Notes and adjustment to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed combined Statement of Operations

 

The notes and pro forma adjustments to the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statements of operations consist of the following:

 

 

(A)Derived from Tristar’s unaudited condensed statement of operations and comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and the statement of operations and comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2023.
(B)Derived from Helport’s unaudited condensed combined statement of operations and comprehensive income for the six months ended December 31, 2023.
(1)Represents an adjustment to eliminate interest income related to cash and investment held in Trust Account.
(2)The calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the initial public offering occurred as of the earliest period presented. In addition, as the Business Combination is being reflected as if it had occurred on this date, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the shares have been outstanding for the entire period presented. This calculation is retroactively adjusted to eliminate the number of shares redeemed in the Business Combinations for the entire period.

(2)The calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the initial public offering occurred as of the earliest period presented. In addition, as the Business Combination is being reflected as if it had occurred on this date, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the shares have been outstanding for the entire period presented. This calculation is retroactively adjusted to eliminate the number of shares redeemed in the Business Combinations for the entire period.
(3)Reflects $2,145,737 expensed transaction fees as if it incurred from the beginning of the year ended June 30, 2023, for the purpose of Business Combination. This is a non-recurring item.

Net Income Per Share

 

The weighted average shares outstanding and net income per share information give pro forma effect to Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement as if they had occurred on July 1, 2022.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined basic and diluted earnings per share calculations are based on the sum of the Tristar post-combination weighted average number of redeemable shares outstanding of 10,608,802 and non-redeemable shares outstanding of 5,750,000 under both scenarios for the year ended June 30, 2023 adjusted by (a) 30,280,768 merger consideration shares estimated, derived from the shares outstanding and weighted average shares outstanding as presented in the pro forma combined financial statements (after rounding adjustment), to be issued in connection with the Business Combination; (b) 509,259 shares issued to the PIPE investors; (c) 464,838 shares issued to the holders of Convertible Promissory Notes issued by Helport; (d) actual redemption of 10,480,699 shares.

 

No adjustment was made to the pro forma basic earnings per share amounts presented for the six months ended December 31, 2023 and for the year ended June 30, 2023, the effects of outstanding warrants were not considered in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, since the inclusion of such warrants and options would be anti-dilutive.
