Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
General
On April 6, 2021, CA Healthcare Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“CAH”), LumiraDx Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“LumiraDx”) and LumiraDx Merger Sub, Inc., a newly formed Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of LumiraDx (“Merger Sub”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) that, among other things, provides for Merger Sub to be merged with and into CAH with CAH being the surviving corporation in the merger (the “Merger”). As a result of and upon consummation of the Merger, CAH will become a wholly owned subsidiary of LumiraDx, with security holders of CAH becoming security holders of LumiraDx. The terms of the Merger Agreement, which contains customary representations and warranties, covenants, closing conditions, termination provisions and other terms relating to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby, are summarized below.
Pre-Merger Transactions
Immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”),
| · | LumiraDx will effect certain capital restructuring transactions, including: (i) the conversion of each series A preferred share of LumiraDx into A ordinary shares of LumiraDx; (ii) the conversion of each series B preferred share of LumiraDx into common shares of LumiraDx; (iii) the conversion of each convertible loan note of LumiraDx into common shares of LumiraDx; and (iv) effecting a subdivision of each A ordinary share of LumiraDx and each common share of LumiraDx into a number of A ordinary shares of LumiraDx and common shares of LumiraDx (as applicable) calculated in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement (the “subdivision”), such that the equity value per share (either A ordinary share or common share) on a fully diluted basis is $10 per share, based on a valuation of LumiraDx of $5 billion (which such valuation may be increased for shares issued for cash in equity financing transactions prior to the Effective Time); |
| · | each issued and outstanding share of Class B common stock of CAH will be automatically converted into one share of Class A common stock of CAH in accordance with the terms of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of CAH; and |
| · | each one share of common stock of CAH and one half of a public warrant comprising each issued and outstanding CAH unit immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically separated. |
The Merger
On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), on the closing date, Merger Sub will merge with and into CAH. Following the Effective Time, the separate existence of Merger Sub will cease and CAH will continue as the surviving entity of the Merger and will succeed to and assume all the rights and obligations of Merger Sub in accordance with the DGCL. The closing of Merger (the “Closing”) will occur as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than three business days, after the satisfaction or, if permissible, waiver of the conditions to the completion of the Merger set forth in the Merger Agreement.
Conversion of Securities in the Merger
At the Effective Time, each share of common stock of CAH issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically canceled and extinguished and reissued to LumiraDx as one share of common stock of the surviving corporation, in consideration for the right to receive one common share of LumiraDx. After the Effective Time, the outstanding warrants of CAH shall, by their terms, automatically entitle the holders to purchase LumiraDx common shares.
Representations, Warranties and Covenants
The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties made by LumiraDx and Merger Sub to CAH relating to a number of matters, including the following: organization and qualification; subsidiaries; organizational documents; capitalization; authority relative to the Merger Agreement; no conflict; required filings and consents; permits; compliance; financial statements and records; absence of certain changes or events; inventory; health care matters; other regulatory compliance; export control laws; absence of litigation; products liability; employee benefit plans; labor and employment matters; real property; title to assets; intellectual property; manufacturing, marketing and development rights; proprietary information agreements; data privacy and security; taxes; environmental matters; material contracts; customers and suppliers; insurance; board approval; vote required; certain business practices; international trade laws; interested party transactions; and no brokers.
The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties made by CAH to LumiraDx and Merger Sub relating to a number of matters, including the following: corporate organization; governing documents; capitalization; authority relative to the Merger Agreement; no conflict; required filings and consents; compliance; Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings; financial statements; Sarbanes-Oxley; absence of certain changes or events; absence of litigation; board approval; vote required; brokers; CAH trust fund; employees; taxes; brokers; registration and listing; business activities; affiliate transactions; status under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012; and due diligence investigations.
Conduct of Business Pending the Merger
LumiraDx and CAH have agreed to customary covenants of the parties with respect to business operations prior to consummation of the Merger and efforts to satisfy conditions to the consummation of the Merger. The Merger Agreement also contains additional covenants of the parties, including, among others, covenants providing for CAH and LumiraDx to cooperate in the preparation of the Registration Statement on Form F-4 of LumiraDx and proxy statement of CAH required to be prepared in connection with the Merger (the “Registration Statement”).
Conditions to Closing
Consummation of the Merger is subject to customary conditions of the respective parties, and conditions customary to special purpose acquisition companies, including (a) receipt of shareholder approval from the shareholders of CAH and receipt of shareholder, convertible loan note holder and warrantholder approval from each of the shareholders of LumiraDx, the holders of convertible loan notes of LumiraDx and the holders of certain warrants of LumiraDx (as applicable), in each case for the consummation of the Merger, (b) the absence of any law or governmental order preventing the consummation of the Merger, (c) the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, (d) the approval for listing of the common shares and warrants of LumiraDx to be issued in connection with the Closing on Nasdaq, subject only to official notice of issuance, and (e) CAH will have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following the exercise of redemption rights in accordance with CAH’s organizational documents. In addition, LumiraDx also has the right to not consummate the Merger in the event that, as of the Effective Time, after giving effect to the exercise of redemption rights by any CAH stockholders, funds in the CAH trust account do not equal at least $65,000,000 prior to payment of any unpaid or contingent liabilities, deferred underwriting fees or transaction costs of any of the parties.
Termination
The Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances at any time prior to the Closing, including by mutual written consent or if the Merger has not been consummated on or prior to September 30, 2021.
A copy of the Merger Agreement is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the Merger is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, reference to the actual agreement. The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of the Merger Agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating such agreement. In particular, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement were made as of a specified date, are modified or qualified by information in one or more confidential disclosure letters prepared in connection with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what might be viewed as material to investors, or may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties. Accordingly, the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement are not necessarily characterizations of the actual state of facts about CAH, LumiraDx or the other parties at the time they were made or otherwise and should only be read in conjunction with the other information that CAH makes publicly available in reports, statements and other documents filed with the SEC.
Exclusivity
LumiraDx and CAH have agreed to exclusivity covenants until the earlier of Closing or termination of the Merger Agreement. LumiraDx agrees not to undergo an initial public offering and not to negotiate, solicit or provide any information to any special purpose acquisition company other than CAH. CAH agrees not to directly or indirectly enter into any proposal or commitment related to an alternative business combination that is anticipated to be announced on or prior to the earlier of Closing or termination of the Merger Agreement.
Related Agreements

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K may be considered “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or CAH’s or LumiraDx’s future financial or operating performance. For example, projections of future sales and other metrics are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “will,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “predict” or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by CAH and its management, and LumiraDx and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: 1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; 2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against CAH, the combined company or others following the announcement of the business combination and any definitive agreements with respect thereto; 3) the inability to complete the business combination due to the failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of CAH or to satisfy other conditions to closing; 4) changes to the proposed structure of the business combination that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations or as a condition to obtaining regulatory approval of the business combination; 5) the ability to meet the Nasdaq’s listing standards following the consummation of the business combination; 6) the risk that the business combination disrupts current plans and operations of LumiraDx as a result of the announcement and consummation of the business combination; 7) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the business combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers, manufacturers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees; 8) costs related to the business combination; 9) changes in applicable laws or regulations; 10) the possibility that LumiraDx or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business and/or competitive factors; 11) LumiraDx’s estimates of its financial performance; and 12) other risks and uncertainties set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in CAH’s Registration Statement on form S-1 filed with the SEC on January 8, 2021 and the proxy statement/prospectus discussed above. Nothing in this Current Report on Form 8-K should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward looking statements will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Neither CAH nor LumiraDx undertakes any duty to update these forward-looking statements, except as otherwise required by law.
