Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously disclosed, on February 9, 2023, Compute Health Acquisition Corp., a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a business combination agreement (the “Existing Business Combination Agreement”) with Compute Health Corp., a Delaware corporation and direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub I”), Compute Health LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub II” and, together with Merger Sub I, the “Merger Subs”), Allurion Technologies Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Allurion (as defined below) (“Pubco”), and Allurion Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Allurion” and, collectively with the Company, the Merger Subs and Pubco, the “Parties”). On May 2, 2023, the Company entered into that certain Amendment No. 1 to the Business Combination Agreement (the “BCA Amendment” and, the Existing Business Combination Agreement, as amended by the BCA Amendment, the “Business Combination Agreement”) with the Merger Subs, Pubco and Allurion, and the applicable Parties entered into certain related agreements, all as described further below.
Following the date of the execution of the Existing Business Combination Agreement and prior to the execution of the BCA Amendment, Allurion issued an aggregate principal amount of $16.75 million of convertible unsecured promissory notes (the “Bridge Notes”) to various investors pursuant to a convertible note purchase agreement, dated as of February 15, 2023, including a $13 million Bridge Note (the “HVL Bridge Note”) sold to Hunter Ventures Limited (“HVL”) on February 15, 2023. The Bridge Notes were offered in a private placement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Bridge Notes will mature on December 31, 2026, unless earlier repaid or converted in accordance with their terms, and will accrue interest at a rate of 7.00% per annum. Among other terms, if Allurion consummates the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement on or before August 31, 2023, the Bridge Notes shall be converted into the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Allurion (“Allurion Common Stock”) obtained by dividing the outstanding balance of the Bridge Notes by the quotient of (a) $217,291,008 and (b) the number of outstanding shares of Allurion Common Stock determined on a fully-diluted basis, immediately prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (such conversion price, the “Conversion Price”). Certain holders of Bridge Notes (the “Side Letter Holders”), including RTW Master Fund, Ltd., RTW Innovation Master Fund, Ltd. and RTW Venture Fund Limited (collectively, “RTW”), HVL and Jason Gulbinas, also entered into letter agreements with Allurion (collectively, the “Side Letters”), pursuant to which, in the event the Side Letter Holders’ Bridge Notes converted in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the conversion rate for such Bridge Notes would be adjusted after the closing date of the Business Combination Agreement to provide each of the Side Letter Holder with additional shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Pubco ( “Pubco Common Stock”), in the event that the trading price of the shares of Pubco Common Stock was lower than the Conversion Price, as adjusted for the Intermediate Merger Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement). We refer to the financing described in this paragraph as the “Initial Financing.”
Following the consummation of the Initial Financing, the Parties determined to refinance the Initial Financing, as set forth below.
Termination Agreements
Pursuant to termination letter agreements (each, a “Termination Agreement” and, collectively, the “Termination Agreements”), entered into by Allurion with each of the Side Letter Holders, the Side Letters were terminated, effective as of May 2, 2023. In addition, under the Termination Agreements, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, the Side Letter Holders also waived certain provisions and obligations set forth in their respective Bridge Notes with respect to proportionate repayment obligations that would otherwise apply to Allurion under the Bridge Notes. Other provisions of the Side Letter Holders’ Bridge Notes remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
HVL’s Termination Agreement also provides, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Allurion with the right to prepay, in one or more transactions, all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount, plus accrued interest, under the HVL Bridge Note, including by way of (a) a $2 million payment in cash by Allurion to HVL on May 2, 2023, $1.5 million of which is deemed a prepayment penalty (the “Prepayment”) and (b) immediately prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, an additional payment of at least $6 million, up to the then-outstanding principal amount, plus accrued interest, under the HVL Bridge Note (the “Additional Payment”) (the repayment contemplated by clauses (a) and (b), the “Repayment”) by way of (i) payment in cash by Allurion and/or (ii) the sale and transfer of all or any portion of the HVL Bridge Note, equivalent in value to the portion of the Additional Payment to be repaid pursuant to this clause (b)(ii), to any person or persons designated in writing by Allurion.
In addition, under HVL’s Termination Agreement, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Pubco has agreed to issue to HVL a number of shares of Pubco Common Stock equal to (a) (i) the Pubco Share Target (as defined below) minus (ii) the number of shares of Pubco Common Stock issued to HVL upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement in exchange for the shares of Allurion Common Stock issued upon conversion of the HVL Bridge Note pursuant to the terms thereof (and based on the outstanding principal and accrued interest under such notes as of such time) (the “Additional Hunter Shares”) plus (b) 300,000 shares of Pubco Common Stock (the “Hunter Closing Shares”). “Pubco Share Target” means a number of shares of Pubco Common Stock equal to (a) the outstanding principal and accrued interest under the HVL Bridge Note immediately prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (after giving effect to the payment of the Repayment) divided by (b) $5.00.
In connection with the Prepayment, on May 2, 2023, Allurion and HVL entered into a written consent to convertible unsecured promissory note prepayment (the “Prepayment Consent”), pursuant to which HVL consented to the Repayment and waived each of the prepayment restrictions included in the HVL Bridge Note, to the extent related to the Repayment.
Copies of each of the Termination Agreements are filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of the Termination Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.
A copy of the Prepayment Consent is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.4 and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of the Prepayment Consent and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.
Backstop Agreement
On May 2, 2023, CFIP2 ALLE LLC (“Fortress”) and RTW (together, the “Backstop Purchasers”) entered into a Backstop Agreement with Allurion, Pubco and HVL (the “Backstop Agreement”). Pursuant to the Backstop Agreement, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, each Backstop Purchaser agreed that, to the extent any portion of the HVL Bridge Note remains outstanding following the Determination Date (as defined below), such Backstop Purchaser will, at a closing to take place at the same time, on the same date and concurrently with but immediately prior to the closing of the merger of Merger Sub I with and into Allurion pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement (the “Intermediate Merger”) (the “Backstop Closing” and the date on which such closing occurs, the “Backstop Closing Date”), purchase up to $2 million aggregate principal amount (the “Maximum Purchase Amount”) of the HVL Bridge Note from HVL.
As soon as practicable, but in any event within one business day following the date of the special meeting of stockholders of the Company held for the purpose of obtaining the approval of the Company’s stockholders of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (such meeting, the “Special Meeting” and such date, the “Determination Date”), Allurion will notify HVL and the Backstop Purchasers of, among other things, the Backstop Closing Date, the amount of principal then outstanding under the HVL Bridge Note (the “Balance”) and, subject to the limitations set forth in the Backstop Agreement, the amount of the Balance, which may not exceed each Backstop Purchaser’s Maximum Purchase Amount, that Allurion requires each Backstop Purchaser to purchase from HVL (the “Backstop Purchase Amount”).
In connection with the purchase of the aggregate Backstop Purchase Amounts, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Backstop Agreement, Allurion will (a) cancel the existing HVL Bridge Note and issue a new convertible unsecured promissory note to HVL for any remaining Balance of the HVL Bridge Note expected to be outstanding after the Backstop Closing, together with all unpaid interest on the HVL Bridge Note accrued since the date of issuance thereof and (b) issue new convertible unsecured promissory notes (the “New Bridge Notes”) to each Backstop Purchaser with an issuance date of the Backstop Closing Date and an original principal amount equal to such Backstop Purchaser’s Backstop Purchase Amount, with such New Bridge Notes to be held in escrow until the Backstop Closing.
In addition, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Backstop Agreement, in consideration of each Backstop Purchaser’s commitment to purchase its Backstop Purchase Amount of the HVL Bridge Note, subject to the terms and conditions of the Backstop Agreement, Pubco will, no later than the Backstop Closing Date, issue to each Backstop Purchaser a number of shares of Pubco Common Stock (the “Backstop Shares”) as follows:
| a) | In the event that the Backstop Purchase Amount for each Backstop Purchaser is equal to its Maximum Purchase Amount, Pubco will issue to each Backstop Purchaser under the Backstop Agreement an aggregate amount of Pubco Common Stock equal to the greater of (i) 700,000 shares of Pubco Common Stock and (ii) the Conditional Additional Pubco Shares (as defined below) issuable (x) in the case of Fortress, to Fortress or its applicable affiliate pursuant to the Fortress Credit Agreement (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) and (y) in the case of RTW, to RTW pursuant to the Amended and Restated RTW Side Letter (as defined below); provided that, in the event that for any reason the aggregate number of shares issuable to Fortress pursuant to clause (ii) above is greater than the aggregate number of shares issuable to RTW pursuant to clause (ii), or vice versa, the Backstop Purchaser that would receive the lesser aggregate number of shares shall instead receive the higher number of aggregate shares so that, pursuant to such clause (ii), each of Fortress and RTW shall receive the same aggregate number of shares of Pubco Common Stock. |
| b) | In the event that the Backstop Purchase Amount for each Backstop Purchaser is less than its Maximum Purchase Amount, Pubco will issue to each Backstop Purchaser under the Backstop Agreement an aggregate amount of shares of Pubco Common Stock equal to (i) 700,000 multiplied by a fraction having (x) a numerator equal to such Backstop Purchaser’s Backstop Purchase Amount and (y) a denominator equal to 2,000,000. |
Under the Backstop Agreement, the “Conditional Additional Pubco Shares” means the following:
| a) | With respect to Fortress, a number of additional shares of Pubco Common Stock exceeding the 250,000 shares of Pubco Common Stock that, at the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, will be issued to Fortress or its applicable affiliate pursuant to the Fortress Credit Agreement, in a maximum amount not to exceed 750,000 shares of Pubco Common Stock, that may be issuable to Fortress or its applicable affiliate pursuant to the Fortress Credit Agreement. |
| b) | With respect to RTW, a number of additional shares of Pubco Common Stock exceeding the 250,000 shares of Pubco Common Stock that, at the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, will be issued to RTW pursuant to the Amended and Restated RTW Side Letter, in a maximum amount not to exceed 750,000 shares of Pubco Common Stock, that may be issuable to RTW pursuant to the Amended and Restated RTW Side Letter. |
A copy of the Backstop Agreement is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.5, and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of the Backstop Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.
Amended and Restated RTW Side Letter
As previously disclosed, on February 9, 2023, in connection with the execution of the Existing Business Combination Agreement, the Company, Pubco, Allurion and Merger Sub II entered into a side letter (the “Existing RTW Side Letter”) with RTW, pursuant to which, among other things, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Pubco agreed to issue up to an additional 1,000,000 shares of Pubco Common Stock to RTW, with (a) 250,000 of such shares to be issued at the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and not subject to any contingencies and (b) 750,000 of such shares to be issued based on the Net Closing Cash (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Intermediate Merger (to be determined linearly, based on no such shares being issuable if such Net Closing Cash is equal to or greater than $100 million and 750,000 such shares being issuable if such Net Closing Cash is equal to or less than $70 million).
On May 2, 2023, pursuant to the Backstop Agreement and contemporaneous with the execution of the Backstop Agreement, the Company, Pubco, Merger Sub II, Allurion and RTW entered into an amended and restated side letter (the “Amended and Restated RTW Side Letter”), which amends and restates the Existing RTW Side Letter in its entirety, in order to reflect that any Conditional Additional Pubco Shares issuable to RTW under the Amended and Restated RTW Side Letter, if any, would be calculated net of any Backstop Shares issuable to RTW under the Backstop Agreement. Additionally, pursuant to the Amended and Restated RTW Side Letter, the parties to the Amended and Restated RTW Side Letter have agreed that, if a third party subsequently provides Allurion with debt financing on more favorable terms than those provided to RTW under the Backstop Agreement, RTW will be offered the same or more favorable terms and conditions as Allurion provided to such third party.
A copy of the Amended and Restated RTW Side Letter is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.6, and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of the Amended and Restated RTW Side Letter and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.

On May 2, 2023, pursuant to the Backstop Agreement and contemporaneous with the execution of the Backstop Agreement, Fortress and Allurion entered into a letter agreement (the “Fortress Side Letter”), in order to reflect that any Conditional Additional Pubco Shares issuable to Fortress under the Fortress Credit Agreement, if any, would be calculated net of any Backstop Shares issuable to Fortress under the Backstop Agreement. Additionally, pursuant to the Fortress Side Letter, Fortress and Allurion have agreed that, if a third party subsequently provides Allurion with debt financing on more favorable terms than those provided to Fortress under the Backstop Agreement, Fortress will be offered the same or more favorable terms and conditions as Allurion provided to such third party.
Pursuant to the Fortress Side Letter, Fortress has also waived its condition to closing under the Fortress Bridging Agreement (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), which required that Allurion raise at least $15 million in incremental financing prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.
A copy of the Fortress Side Letter is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.7, and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of the Fortress Side Letter and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.

Additionally, the BCA Amendment replaced the form of Investor Rights Agreement attached as an exhibit to the Existing Business Combination Agreement with a revised form of Investor Rights Agreement (as described below).
