IMPORTANT NOTICES
Important Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, both as amended. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about the pending transactions among Orisun Acquisition Corp. (“Orisun”), Ucommune International Ltd (“Purchaser”), Everstone International Ltd (“Merger Sub”), and Ucommune Group Holdings Limited (“Ucommune”) and the transactions contemplated thereby, and the parties’ perspectives and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the proposed transaction, including the anticipated initial enterprise value and post-closing equity value, the benefits of the proposed transaction, integration plans, expected synergies and revenue opportunities, anticipated future financial and operating performance and results, including estimates for growth, the expected management and governance of the combined company, and the expected timing of the transactions. The words “expect,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan” and similar expressions indicate forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to various risks and uncertainties, assumptions (including assumptions about general economic, market, industry and operational factors), known or unknown, which could cause the actual results to vary materially from those indicated or anticipated.
Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: (i) risks related to the expected timing and likelihood of completion of the pending transaction, including the risk that the transaction may not close due to one or more closing conditions to the transaction not being satisfied or waived, such as regulatory approvals not being obtained, on a timely basis or otherwise, or that a governmental entity prohibited, delayed or refused to grant approval for the consummation of the transaction or required certain conditions, limitations or restrictions in connection with such approvals; (ii) risks related to the ability of Orisun and Ucommune to successfully integrate the businesses; (iii) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the applicable transaction agreements; (iv) the risk that there may be a material adverse change with respect to the financial position, performance, operations or prospects of Ucommune or Orisun; (v) risks related to disruption of management time from ongoing business operations due to the proposed transaction; (vi) the risk that any announcements relating to the proposed transaction could have adverse effects on the market price of Orisun’s securities; (vii) the risk that the proposed transaction and its announcement could have an adverse effect on the ability of Ucommune and Orisun to retain customers and retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with their suppliers and customers and on their operating results and businesses generally; (viii) the risk that the combined company may be unable to achieve cost-cutting synergies or it may take longer than expected to achieve those synergies; and (ix) risks associated with the financing of the proposed transaction. A further list and description of risks and uncertainties can be found in Orisun’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC, in Orisun’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC subsequent thereto and in the Registration Statement on Form F-4 and proxy statement that will be filed with the SEC by the Purchaser in connection with the proposed transactions, and other documents that the parties may file or furnish with the SEC, which you are encouraged to read. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated or anticipated by such forward-looking statements. Accordingly, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements relate only to the date they were made, and Orisun, Purchaser, Merger Sub, Ucommune, and their subsidiaries undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made except as required by law or applicable regulation.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material definitive Agreement.
As previously announced, on August 18, 2020, Orisun Acquisition Corp. (“Orisun” or the “Company”), Ucommune International Ltd (“PubCo”) and Ucommune Group Holding Limited (“Ucommune”) entered into backstop agreements (each, a “Backstop Agreement”) with 14 investors, pursuant to which the investors agreed to invest no less than $53 million by (i) acquiring Orisun’s common stock in the open market or in private transactions prior to the closing of the Business Combination at the then prevailing market price of the shares, or (ii) acquiring newly issued PubCo class A ordinary shares concurrently with the closing of the business combination at a price of $10.10 per share (the “PIPE Shares”).
On October 30, Orisun, PubCo and Ucommune entered into additional Backstop Agreements with four additional investors, and terminated one Backstop Agreement in an amount of $100,000 with one of the initial 14 investors. As of November 4, 2020, 17 investors had entered into Backstop Agreements and agreed to invest an aggregate of $66 million by either acquiring PIPE Shares or Orisun’s common stock in the open market.
Pursuant to the Backstop Agreements, PubCo agreed that, after the closing of the business combination and subject to certain conditions set forth in the Backstop Agreements, PubCo will file with the SEC a registration statement registering the resale of the PIPE Shares (the “Resale Registration Statement”), and PubCo will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Resale Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof. In addition, subject to certain exceptions, if any time after the closing of the business combination, PubCo proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to its securities, under the Backstop Agreement, PubCo will give notice to holders of PIPE Shares as to the proposed filing and offer such stockholders an opportunity to register the sale of such number of their registrable securities as they request in writing.
In addition, on November 2, 2020, Orisun issued an unsecured promissory note in an amount of $444,002 to Ucommune (“Note”), in exchange for Ucommune depositing such amount into the Orisun’s trust account in order to extend the amount of time it has available to complete a business combination.

The disclosure of Orisun’s issuing Note to Ucommune set forth under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein. The Note does not bear interest and matures upon closing of a business combination by the Company. In addition, the Note may be converted by the holder into units of the Company identical to the units issued in the Company’s initial public offering at a price of $10.00 per unit.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
The Backstop Agreement disclosure set forth under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein.
