Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously disclosed by Blockchain Coinvestors Acquisition Corp. I (“BCSA”) in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 10, 2022, BCSA, BCSA Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), and Qenta Inc. (“Qenta”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “BCA”), pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub would merge with and into Qenta, with Qenta as the surviving company in the merger and, after giving effect to such merger, Qenta would be a wholly-owned subsidiary of BCSA.
In addition, as previously disclosed by BCSA in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 30, 2023, BCSA, Merger Sub, and Qenta entered into an amendment to the BCA on August 24, 2023 (the “BCA Amendment”), pursuant to which, among other things, Qenta agreed to deliver to BCSA specified financial statements and other financial information by specified deadlines (the “Financial Information Obligations”), and BCSA agreed not to exercise, but did not waive, BCSA’s Financial Statement Termination Right (as defined in the BCA Amendment) unless Qenta failed to comply with the Financial Information Obligations.
On November 8, 2023, BCSA delivered to Qenta written notice of its election to terminate the BCA pursuant to Section 7.1(h) thereof, and abandoned the business combination contemplated thereby, primarily based on Qenta’s failure to (i) deliver the Closing Company Financial Statements (as defined in the BCA) by the applicable deadline and (ii) comply with the Financial Information Obligations. The termination of the BCA shall have the effects set forth in Section 7.2 of the BCA.
In conjunction with the termination of the BCA, the Lock-up Agreements, Sponsor Letter Agreement, Transaction Support Agreements and Forward Purchase Agreement have also been terminated in accordance with their respective terms.
BCSA intends to continue evaluating other possible business combination targets though there can be no assurance these evaluations or efforts will result in a business combination transaction with BCSA.
