Item 1.01. | Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement. |
On October 15, 2022, Blockchain Moon Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“BMAC”), announced that it executed a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), dated as of October 14, 2022, with Malibu Parent Inc., a Delaware corporation (“New BMAC”), Hermosa Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub”), and DLTx ASA, a Norwegian public limited liability company (“DLTx”) (the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”). This Current Report on Form 8-K (or this “report”), provides a summary of the Business Combination Agreement and the other agreements entered into (and certain agreements to be entered into) in connection with the Business Combination. The descriptions of these agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the terms and conditions of such agreements or the forms thereof, as applicable, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 2.1, 10.1 and 10.2 hereto and are incorporated by reference herein.
Business Combination Agreement
The following description of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the actual agreement, a copy of which is filed with this report as Exhibit 2.1, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein will have the meanings given to them in the Business Combination Agreement. The Business Combination Agreement has been attached to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about BMAC, New BMAC, Merger Sub or DLTx. In particular, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement were made as of a specified date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what might be viewed as material to investors, may be qualified by the schedules thereto, or may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties. Accordingly, the representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement are not necessarily characterizations of the actual state of facts about BMAC, New BMAC, Merger Sub or DLTx at the time they were made or otherwise and should only be read in conjunction with the other information that BMAC makes publicly available in reports, statements and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
The Business Combination Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of the Business Combination, which includes, among other things, the consummation of the following transactions: (a) prior to the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), DLTx will assign, contribute or otherwise convey certain assets to its subsidiaries such that, by the closing date, the subsidiaries of DLTx will hold all assets of the DLTx company group other than specific, enumerated assets and associated liabilities (the “Conveyances”), in accordance with a plan to be provided by DLTx to BMAC (the “Conveyance Plan”); (b) prior to the Closing, on the closing date, BMAC will merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving (the “Merger”, and the effective time of the Merger, the “Effective Time”) as a direct subsidiary of New BMAC, and New BMAC will continue as the public company with (i) each outstanding share of common stock, $0.0001 par value, of BMAC (each, a “BMAC Common Share”), being automatically converted into the right of the holder thereof to receive one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 of New BMAC (each, a “New BMAC Common Share”), (ii) each outstanding right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of a BMAC Common Share upon the consummation of an initial business combination (“BMAC Right”) of BMAC being automatically exchanged for 1/10th of a share of a New BMAC Common Share upon the Closing without any further action by the holders of the BMAC Rights and (iii) each outstanding warrant of BMAC (“BMAC Warrant”) automatically ceasing to represent a right to acquire BMAC Common Shares and instead representing a right to acquire New BMAC Common Shares; (c) following the Effective Time, (i) New BMAC will amend and restate the pre-Closing certificate of incorporation of New BMAC in a form to be agreed by BMAC and DLTx, until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable law and (ii) the board of directors of New BMAC will adopt the New BMAC bylaws in a form to be agreed by BMAC and DLTx; (d) following the Effective Time, at the Closing, New BMAC will acquire all of the subsidiaries of DLTx (the “Acquisition”) in exchange for New BMAC Common Shares, as described in more detail below; and (e) promptly following the Required Company Distribution Transaction Approval (as defined below), DLTx shall distribute to the Company Shareholders as of a record date to be on our about three business days following Closing their respective portion of the Adjusted Transaction Share Consideration (as defined below) (the “Distribution”). In connection with the Closing, New BMAC will change its name to DLTx Inc., which will continue as the public company following the consummation of the Business Combination.
Consideration
Under the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, the aggregate consideration to be paid to DLTx in connection with the Acquisition will be in the form of New BMAC Common Shares and will equal the Adjusted Transaction Share Consideration. “Adjusted Transaction Share Consideration” means an aggregate number of New BMAC Common Shares equal to (a) (i) $106,610,000 (less any Leakage since June 30, 2022, if any) (the “Equity Value”), divided by (ii) $10.00, minus (b) (i) the Earn Out Adjustment Share Amount (as defined below), if any, multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio (as defined below).
The “Earn Out Adjustment Share Amount” means 6,000,000 or such lesser amount (which may be zero) to the extent the DLTx has complied in full with its obligation to issue an aggregate of 6,000,000 Company Shares prior to the Closing Date to certain individuals entitled thereto in accordance with Section 6.30 of the Business Combination Agreement.
The “Exchange Ratio” means a fraction equal to (a) the aggregate number of Equity Securities of DLTx outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing on an as-converted-to-common-stock basis, divided by (b) the aggregate number of New BMAC Common Shares equal to the Adjusted Transaction Share Consideration.
The Closing
The Closing will occur as promptly as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than the third Business Day, following the satisfaction or, if permissible, waiver of the conditions to the Closing set forth in the Business Combination Agreement.
Stock Exchange Listing
Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, BMAC shall use its reasonable best efforts to (a) cause the New BMAC Common Shares to be issued in connection with the Business Combination to be approved for listing on the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”), subject to official notice of issuance thereof and (b) satisfy any applicable initial listing requirements of Nasdaq, in each case, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of the Business Combination Agreement, and in any event prior to the Effective Time.

Covenants
The Business Combination Agreement includes customary covenants of the parties with respect to the operation of their respective businesses prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and efforts to satisfy the conditions to consummation of the Business Combination. The Business Combination Agreement also contains additional covenants of the parties, including, among others, covenants providing for BMAC and DLTx to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain all permits, consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications and orders of Governmental Entities and parties to contracts with DLTx and its subsidiaries as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement necessary for the consummation of the Business Combination and to fulfill the conditions to the Business Combination, for the preparation and filing of a registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC relating to the Business Combination, containing a prospectus and proxy statement of BMAC, for DLTx to convene extraordinary general meetings of its Company Shareholders in order to approve the Acquisition and, subsequently, the Distribution, for the parties to negotiate the final forms of certain ancillary documents for the Business Combination in good faith, and for the designation of the members of New BMAC’s classified board upon the Closing.

BMAC Exclusivity Restrictions

Due Diligence Investigation and Renegotiation or Reconsideration Period
Following the signing of the Business Combination Agreement, BMAC will have a period ending on the later of (x) 30 days following the signing of the Business Combination Agreement and (y) five days following DLTx’s delivery of certain required PCAOB-compliant audited financial statements to complete its due diligence review of the DLTx business (the “Diligence Period”). Any any time prior to the expiration of the Diligence Period, BMAC may notify DLTx in writing (a “Diligence Deficiency Notice”) that it intends to terminate the Business Combination Agreement as a result of its due diligence investigation (including as a result of the Conveyance Plan and/or any updates to the disclosure schedules delivered by DLTx). BMAC may, in its sole discretion, propose a revised Equity Value, or such other amended or additional terms, on which BMAC would be willing to consummate the Business Combination.
No later than three Business Days after its receipt of a Diligence Deficiency Notice (if any), DLTx may, in its sole discretion, negotiate with BMAC with respect to any such amended or additional terms and/or make a counterproposal to BMAC (a “Company Counterproposal”).

Neither party will be required to accept any proposal by the other party, and the BMAC Board is not required to recommend the adoption and approval of any such proposal to BMAC’s stockholders. To the extent that DLTx does not deliver a Company Counterproposal, BMAC will have 15 days following the delivery of the Diligence Deficiency Notice (a “Reconsideration Period”) in order to consider, together with its legal and financial advisors, whether to exercise its rights to terminate the Business Combination Agreement as a result of its due diligence investigation of DLTx.

Important Information and Where to Find It
On October 4, 2022, BMAC filed a definitive proxy statement (the “Extension Proxy Statement”) for a special meeting of its stockholders to be held on October 19, 2022 to consider and act upon a proposal to extend the date (the “Termination Date”) by which BMAC must complete an initial business combination to January 21, 2023 (the “Charter Extension Date”) and to allow BMAC, without the need for another stockholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date to consummate a business combination on a monthly basis, up to six times, by an additional one month each time, after the Charter Extension Date, by resolution of the BMAC Board, if requested by the Sponsor. The Extension Proxy Statement was mailed to BMAC stockholders of record as of September 27, 2022. Stockholders may obtain a copy of the Extension Proxy Statement at the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov).
New BMAC intends to file a registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC, which will include a prospectus with respect to New BMAC’s securities to be issued in connection with the proposed Business Combination and proxy statement with respect to BMAC’s stockholder meeting to vote on the proposed transaction (the “Business Combination Proxy Statement”).

All forward-looking statements are based upon estimates, forecasts and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by BMAC and its management, and DLTx and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain and many factors may cause the actual results to differ materially from current expectations which 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 Business Combination Agreement with respect to the proposed Business Combination; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against DLTx, BMAC, the combined company or others following the announcement of the proposed Business Combination and any definitive agreements with respect thereto; (3) the inability to complete the proposed Business Combination on due to the failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of BMAC or the stockholders of DLTx, or to satisfy other closing conditions of the proposed Business Combination; (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 proposed Business Combination; (5) the ability to meet Nasdaq’s listing standards following the consummation of the Business Combination; (6) the risk that the announcement and consummation of the proposed Business Combination disrupts the current plans and operations of DLTx; (7) the inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed 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 and suppliers and retain its management and key employees; (8) costs related to the proposed Business Combination; (9) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (10) the possibility that DLTx or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business and/or competitive factors; (11) the inability to obtain PIPE financing; (12) the risk that the proposed Business Combination may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of BMAC’s securities; (13) the risk that the proposed transaction may not be completed by BMAC’s business combination deadline and the failure to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline if sought by BMAC; (14) the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including any mutations or variants thereof, and its effect on business and financial conditions; (15) volatility in the markets caused by geopolitical and economic factors; and (16) other risks and uncertainties set forth in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in BMAC’s Form S-1 (File No. 333-259770), its most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and registration statement on Form S-4 that New BMAC intends to file with the SEC, which will include a prospectus and proxy statement of BMAC, referred to as a proxy statement/prospectus, and other documents filed by BMAC from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Nothing in this report 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 BMAC nor DLTx gives any assurance that either BMAC or DLTx or the combined company will achieve the expected results set forth in any forward-looking statements.
