Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a business combination between A SPAC I and NewGenIvf will be effected in two steps: (i) A SPAC I will merge with and into Purchaser, with Purchaser remaining as the surviving publicly traded entity; and (ii) Merger Sub will be merged with and into NewGenIvf resulting in NewGenIvf being a wholly-owned subsidiary of Purchaser (collectively, the “Business Combination”). Defined terms not otherwise defined herein shall the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement.
On December 6, 2023, A SPAC I entered into the Second Amendment to Merger Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) with NewGenIvf, the Principal Shareholders, Purchaser and Merger Sub, that amended and modified the Merger Agreement to, among other things, (i) reduce the size of Purchaser’s board of directors following the consummation of the Business Combination to five (5) directors, two (2) of whom will be executive directors designated by NewGenIvf and three (3) of whom will be designated by NewGenIvf to serve as independent directors in accordance with Nasdaq requirements, (ii) provide for the conversion of the Company Shares issued by NewGenIvf following the original date of the Merger Agreement into Purchaser Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with the Acquisition Merger, and (iii) remove the condition that Parent shall have in excess of $5,000,000 in net tangible assets immediately after the Closing.
The foregoing description of the Second Amendment is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Amendment which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Important Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, both as amended. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about the pending transactions among Purchaser Parties and Company Group and the transactions contemplated thereby, and the parties’ perspectives and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the proposed transaction, including the anticipated initial enterprise value and post-closing equity value, the benefits of the proposed transaction, integration plans, expected synergies and revenue opportunities, anticipated future financial and operating performance and results, including estimates for growth, the expected management and governance of the combined company, and the expected timing of the transactions. The words “expect,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan” and similar expressions indicate forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to various risks and uncertainties, assumptions (including assumptions about general economic, market, industry and operational factors), known or unknown, which could cause the actual results to vary materially from those indicated or anticipated.
Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: (i) risks related to the expected timing and likelihood of completion of the pending transaction, including the risk that the transaction may not close due to one or more closing conditions to the transaction not being satisfied or waived, such as regulatory approvals not being obtained, on a timely basis or otherwise, or that a governmental entity prohibited, delayed or refused to grant approval for the consummation of the transaction or required certain conditions, limitations or restrictions in connection with such approvals; (ii) risks related to the ability of Parent, Purchaser and NewGenIvf to successfully integrate the businesses; (iii) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the applicable transaction agreements; (iv) the risk that there may be a material adverse change with respect to the financial position, performance, operations or prospects of NewGenIvf, Parent or Purchaser; (v) risks related to disruption of management time from ongoing business operations due to the proposed transaction; (vi) the risk that any announcements relating to the proposed transaction could have adverse effects on the market price of Parent’s securities; (vii) the risk that the proposed transaction and its announcement could have an adverse effect on the ability of NewGenIvf, Parent and Purchaser to retain customers and retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with their suppliers and customers and on their operating results and businesses generally; (viii) the risk that the combined company may be unable to achieve cost-cutting synergies or it may take longer than expected to achieve those synergies; and (ix) risks associated with the financing of the proposed transaction. A further list and description of risks and uncertainties can be found in Parent’s IPO prospectus filed with the SEC and in the Registration Statement on Form F-4 and proxy statement/prospectus that will be filed with the SEC by Purchaser in connection with the proposed transactions, and other documents that the parties may file or furnish with the SEC, which you are encouraged to read. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated or anticipated by such forward-looking statements. Accordingly, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements relate only to the date they were made, and the Purchaser Parties, NewGenIvf, and their subsidiaries undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made except as required by law or applicable regulation.
Additional Information and Where to Find It
In connection with the transaction described herein, Parent and Purchaser will file relevant materials with the SEC, including the Registration Statement on Form F-4 and a proxy statement/prospectus. The proxy statement/prospectus and a proxy card will be mailed to shareholders of Parent as of a record date to be established for voting at the shareholders’ meeting relating to the proposed transactions. Shareholders will also be able to obtain a copy of the Registration Statement on Form F-4 and proxy statement/prospectus without charge from Parent and Purchaser. The Registration Statement on Form F-4 and proxy statement/prospectus, once available, may also be obtained without charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or by writing to Parent at Level 39, Marina Bay Financial Centre, Tower 2, 10 Marina Boulevard, Singapore 018983.
