Item 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 16, 2023, EVe Mobility Acquisition Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), filed a definitive proxy statement (the “Extension Proxy”) for its extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Extension Meeting”), scheduled to be held on June 14, 2023, at which the Company’s shareholders will vote on, among other things, a proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate an initial business combination (the “Extension Proposal”) from June 17, 2023 to December 17, 2023 (the “Extended Date” and, such extension, the “Initial Extension”), and to allow the Company, without another shareholder vote, by resolution of the Company’s board of directors, to elect to further extend the Extended Date in one-month increments up to six additional times, or up to a total of twelve months, up to June 17, 2024 (each, an “Additional Monthly Extension”). As disclosed in the Extension Proxy, assuming certain of the proposals presented to shareholders are approved, EVe Mobility Sponsor LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), has informed the Company that it may convert a portion of the Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company held by the Sponsor (the “Founder Shares”) into Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Class A Ordinary Shares”) prior to any redemptions of Class A Ordinary Shares described in the Extension Proxy.
On June 5, 2023, the Company and the Sponsor entered into non-redemption agreements (the “Non-Redemption Agreements”) with unaffiliated third party investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Investors have, in connection with the Extension Meeting, agreed not to redeem, or to reverse and revoke any prior redemption election with respect to certain of their Class A Ordinary Shares (the “Non-Redeemed Shares”). The Company intends to enter into Non-Redemption Agreements with respect to up to 4 million Class A Ordinary Shares. Pursuant to the Non-Redemption Agreements, the Sponsor has agreed to transfer to the Investors (i) for the Initial Extension, a number of Founder Shares equal to 21% of the number of Non-Redeemed Shares, and (ii) for each Additional Monthly Extension, a number of Founder Shares equal to 3.5% of the number of Non-Redeemed Shares.
Pursuant to the terms of the Non-Redemption Agreements, the Company and the Sponsor may enter into additional non-redemption agreements from time to time with other parties, subject to the terms set forth in the Non-Redemption Agreements.
Pursuant to the terms of the Non-Redemption Agreements, the Company has agreed that it will continue to invest the funds held in its trust account (the “Trust Account”) in U.S. government securities or in money market funds which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations until the earlier of the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination and 24 months after the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial public offering and thereafter will invest the funds held in the Trust Account in interest-bearing demand deposit accounts or certificates of deposit until the earlier of the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination or the liquidation of the Trust Account. The Company has also agreed that it will not utilize any funds held in the Trust Account to pay excise taxes that may become due pursuant to the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 upon a redemption of the Class A Ordinary Shares, to the extent applicable to the Company. Based upon the amount held in the Trust Account as of June 5, 2023, which was $263,591,639.21 (including interest not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes), the Company estimates that the per-share price at which public shares may be redeemed from cash held in the Trust Account will be approximately $10.54 at the time of the Extension Meeting.
The foregoing summary of the Non-Redemption Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Non-Redemption Agreements that is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Important Information and Where to Find It
The Company has filed the Extension Proxy with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissions (the “SEC”). The Company has mailed the Extension Proxy to its shareholders of record as of May 8, 2023 in connection with the Extension Proposal. Investors and shareholders are advised to read the Extension Proxy and any amendments thereto, because these documents will contain important information about the Extension Proposal and The Company. Shareholders will also be able to obtain copies of the Extension Proxy, without charge, at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to: EVe Mobility Acquisition Corp, 4001 Kennett Pike, Suite 302, Wilmington DE 19807.
