| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
On August 21, 2023, Accretion Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) issued (i) an unsecured promissory note (the “Extension Note”) to Accretion Acquisition Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”) in the principal amount of $80,000 in connection with the Extension (as defined below) and (ii) an unsecured promissory note (the “Working Capital Note” and together with the Extension Note, the “Notes”) to the Sponsor in the principal amount of $105,000 for working capital purposes.
The Notes bear no interest and are each due and payable upon the earlier of (a) the liquidation of the Company and (b) the closing date on which the Company consummates a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (an “Initial Business Combination”). If an Initial Business Combination is not consummated, the Notes will not be repaid and all amounts owed thereunder will be forgiven except to the extent that the Company has funds available to it outside of its trust account established in connection with its initial public offering. The issuance of the Notes was exempt pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The foregoing description of the Extension Note and the Working Capital Note is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Extension Note and the Working Capital Note, as applicable, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 hereto and are incorporated by reference herein.
