Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously disclosed, on June 1, 2022, Americas Technology Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (together with its successors, including following continuation out of the Cayman Islands and into the State of Delaware so as to domesticate as a Delaware corporation, “ATAC”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) with Rally Communitas Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Rally” or the “Company”), Americas Technology Acquisition Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ATAC (“Pubco”), Americas Technology Purchaser Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (the “Purchaser Merger Sub”), Americas Technology Company Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (the “Company Merger Sub” and together with Purchaser Merger Sub, the “Merger Subs”), Jorge E. Marcos, in the capacity as the representative from and after the effective time of the Merger (as defined below) (the “Effective Time”) of the stockholders of Pubco (other than the Rally Security Holders and their successors and assignees) (the “Purchaser Representative”), and Numaan Akram, in the capacity as the representative of the Rally Security Holders from and after the Effective Time (the “Seller Representative”), pursuant to which, as of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Closing”), ATAC and Rally will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of Pubco and Pubco will become a publicly traded company.
On July 26, 2022, ATAC, Rally, Pubco, the Seller Representative and the Purchaser Representative entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Merger Agreement.
The Amendment clarifies and revises certain provisions of the Merger Agreement relating to (i) the securities for which the investors (the “Support Investors”) that enter into Support Subscription Agreements to purchase securities of Pubco immediately prior to the Closing as a condition to the consummation of ATAC’s initial business combination (the “Business Combination”) under the Merger Agreement will subscribe pursuant to such agreements, (ii) the contingent value rights to be issued by Pubco at the Closing to non-redeeming ATAC shareholders and the Support Investors and (iii) the expected composition of the board of directors of Pubco (the “Pubco Board”) immediately following consummation of the Business Combination, subject to approval of the proposal related to the election of directors to the Pubco Board that will be contained in a registration statement on Form S-4 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”) that Pubco intends to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Business Combination.
Other than as expressly modified pursuant to the Amendment, the Merger Agreement, which was previously filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by ATAC with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 7, 2022, remains in full force and effect as originally executed on June 1, 2022. The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amendment attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated herein by reference.
