Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
Non-Redemption Agreements
As previously disclosed, Alpha Partners Technology Merger Corp. (the “Company”) has called an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”) to approve, among other things, an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the period of time by which the Company has to consummate an initial business combination to January 30, 2025 (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”).
The Company and Mercury Capital, LLC (“Mercury Capital”) intend to enter into non-redemption agreements (the “Non-Redemption Agreements”) with certain shareholders of the Company pursuant to which, if such shareholders do not redeem (or validly rescind any redemption requests on) their Class A ordinary shares (the “Non-Redeemed Shares”) in connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting, Mercury Capital will agree to transfer to such investors ordinary shares of the Company held by Mercury Capital immediately following the consummation of an initial business combination if they continue to hold such Non-Redeemed Shares through the Extraordinary General Meeting.
In addition, Mercury Capital and Alpha Partners Technology Merger Sponsor LLC intend to convert up to an aggregate of approximately 3,500,000 of their Class B ordinary shares of the Company into Class A ordinary shares. Upon conversion from Class B ordinary shares to Class A ordinary shares, such Class A ordinary shares will not be entitled to receive funds from the Company’s trust account through redemptions or otherwise, and will remain subject to existing transfer restrictions.
The Non-Redemption Agreements are not expected to increase the likelihood that the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved by shareholders but is expected to increase the amount of funds that remain in the Company’s trust account following the Extraordinary General Meeting.
NO ASSURANCES ARE MADE THAT A NON-REDEMPTION INCENTIVE OF ANY KIND WILL BE OFFERED AND THE ACTUAL TERMS OF ANY NON-REDEMPTION INCENTIVE MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THE TERMS DESCRIBED HEREIN.
The foregoing description of the form of Non-Redemption Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Non-Redemption Agreement filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
