Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure
As previously disclosed in its definitive proxy statement dated as of July 10, 2023 and proxy supplemented dated as of July 20, 2023 (together, the “Definitive Proxy Statement”), A SPAC II Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) will hold an extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders on August 1, 2023 (the “Special Meeting”) to consider and vote upon the Extension Amendment Proposal, the NTA Requirement Amendment Proposal, and the Founder Share Amendment Proposal (as defined in the Definitive Proxy Statement) and, if necessary, the Adjournment Proposal (as defined in the Definitive Proxy Statement).
The Company has identified a potential business combination target company in the medical technology sector (the “Partner”) for an initial business combination (the “Potential Business Combination”) that it believes may have cutting edge technology and the potential for significant growth. The Company is in preliminary talks to enter into a letter of intent with Partner. Such letter of intent, if executed, will have no legal binding effect on either the Company or Partner.
Based in Taiwan, Partner specializes in microsphere technologies for ultrasound contrast agents that facilitate ultrasound imaging and ultrasound-mediated targeted delivery. The Partner is believed to have developed a patented microbubble based contrast agent for the usage of early cancer screening and drug delivery in ultrasonic imaging. According to the Partner, its first product is designed with a smaller particle size than its competitors’, which makes it easier to enter low blood flow areas with improved circulation stability, resulting in useful imaging time up to 1.5 to 3 times longer compared to other approved products. This technology allegedly works with Ultrasound-Mediated Targeted Delivery, a controlled drug release technique that emphasizes rapid, effective drug delivery. The technique utilizes microbubbles that burst under ultrasound, releasing the drug into the body. Partner believes that by using this approach, doctors can achieve more precise drug delivery and improve treatment outcomes for diseases like cancer and heart disease.
According to the Partner, its first product has passed the review process to enter into its Phase 3 trial application which is regulated by the USFDA. If true, this could mark a significant milestone in the Partner’s development of its technology. According to the Partner, it has other products in the pipeline, including an ultrasound drug delivery system for cancer treatment.
The execution of any definitive business combination agreement will be subject to certain customary conditions, including the satisfactory completion of due diligence and negotiation and preparation of documentation. There is no guarantee that the Company will enter into a definitive business combination agreement with Partner or any other companies.
Additional Information and Where to Find It
The Company has filed the definitive proxy statement dated as of July 10, 2023 (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”) to seek shareholder approval to, among other things, extend the time the Company has to consummate an initial business combination. The Company has mailed the Definitive Proxy Statement to its shareholders of record as of July 6, 2023 on or about July 10, 2023. The Company has filed a Proxy Supplement to the Definitive Proxy Statement on July 20, 2023, and mailed it to holders of record as of July 6, 2023 on or about July 21, 2023. Investors and security holders of the Company are advised to read the Definitive Proxy Statement and the Proxy Supplement and any amendments or supplements thereto, because these documents contain or will contain important information about the Extension and the Company. Shareholders will also be able to obtain copies of the Definitive Proxy Statement and the Proxy Supplement, without charge, at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Participants in the Solicitation
The Company and its directors and executive officers may be considered participants in the solicitation of proxies with respect to the Extension under the rules of the SEC. Information about the directors and executive officers of the Company and a description of their interests in the Company and the Extension are set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which was filed with the SEC on March 13, 2023 (the “Annual Report”), the Definitive Proxy Statement which was filed with the SEC on July 10, 2023, and the Proxy Supplement which was filed with the SEC on July 20, 2023. These documents can be obtained free of charge from the sources indicated above.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements made in this Current Report are “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used in this Current Report, the words “estimates,” “projected,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “forecasts,” “plans,” “intends,” “believes,” “seeks,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “future,” “propose” and variations of these words or similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, conditions or results, and involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside the Company’s control, that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Important factors, among others, that may affect actual results or outcomes include: the risk that approval of the Company’s shareholders for the Extension is not obtained; the inability of the Company to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to an initial business combination within the time provided in the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association; the level of redemptions made by the Company’s shareholders in connection with the Extension and its impact on the amount of funds available in the Company’s trust account to complete an initial business combination; and those factors discussed in the Annual Report under the heading “Risk Factors,” and other documents of the Company filed, or to be filed, with the SEC. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
