Item 1.01 Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.
Business Combination Agreement
This section describes the material provisions of the Business Combination Agreement (as defined below) but does not purport to describe all of the terms thereof. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1. Shareholders and other interested parties are urged to read the Business Combination Agreement in its entirety. Unless otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used below are defined in the Business Combination Agreement.
General Terms and Effects
As previously disclosed by Integrated Wellness Acquisition Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability (“IWAC” or “Purchaser), in its Current Report on Form 8-K that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 5, 2024, on May 30, 2024, IWAC entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Original Business Combination Agreement”) with IWAC Georgia Merger Sub, Inc., a Georgia corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of IWAC, and Btab Ecommerce Group, Inc., a Georgia corporation (“Btab” or the “Company”).
On August 26, 2024, IWAC and Btab entered into an Amended and Restated Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with IWAC Holding Company Inc., a Delaware corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of IWAC (“Pubco”), IWAC Purchaser Merger Sub II Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Purchaser Merger Sub”), IWAC Company Merger Sub Inc., a Georgia corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Company Merger Sub”), and acknowledging and agreeing solely with respect to Section 2.1(a)(ii) thereof, Binson Lau. The Business Combination Agreement amended, restated and superseded the Original Business Combination Agreement.
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination will be effected in two steps. Subject to the approval and adoption of the Business Combination Agreement by the shareholders of IWAC and Btab, on the date of the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Closing Date”) and following the Domestication (as defined below): (a) Purchaser Merger Sub will merge with and into IWAC (the “Purchaser Merger”), with IWAC as the surviving company in the Purchaser Merger (the time at which the Purchaser Merger becomes effective is referred to herein as the “Purchaser Merger Effective Time”) and, as a result of the Purchaser Merger, IWAC will become a wholly owned Subsidiary of Pubco with the security holders of IWAC receiving securities of Pubco with terms substantially equivalent to the terms of their securities of IWAC, and (b) Company Merger Sub will merge with and into Btab (the “Company Merger” and together with the Purchaser Merger, the “Mergers”), with Btab as the surviving company in the Company Merger (the time at which the Company Merger becomes effective is referred to herein as the “Company Merger Effective Time”) and, as a result of the Company Merger, Btab will become a wholly owned Subsidiary of Pubco. Upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Transactions”), Pubco expects to be renamed “Btab Ecommerce Holdings, Inc.”
Pre-Closing Recapitalization and Domestication
At least one day prior to the consummation of the Transactions (the “Closing”), IWAC shall cause each IWAC Class B ordinary share to be converted into one IWAC Class A ordinary share, in accordance with IWAC’s governing documents.
In addition, prior to the Purchaser Merger Effective Time, in order to facilitate the consummation of the Transactions, IWAC shall transfer by way of continuation from the Cayman Islands to Delaware and domesticate as a Delaware corporation in accordance with Section 388 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and Part XII of the Cayman Islands Companies Act (as amended) (the “Domestication”). In connection with the Domestication, each IWAC Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 (each an “IWAC Class A Ordinary Share”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Domestication shall become one share of IWAC Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (each an “IWAC Class A Common Share”).
On the Closing Date, prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, Btab shall file an amendment to its articles of incorporation (the “Btab Charter Amendment”), which amendment shall, among other things, create a new class of voting common stock with 10,000 votes per share, par value $0.001 (“Btab Class V Shares”). After the effectiveness of the filing of the Btab Charter Amendment, but prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, Binson Lau, the Chief Executive Officer of the Btab, who is also the Chairman of the Board of IWAC, shall exchange (x) all of his shares of Btab preferred stock, $0.001 per share (the “Btab Preferred Shares”) plus (y) such number of shares of Btab common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Btab Common Shares”), as will result in the issuance to Binson Lau of 100,000 Btab Class V Shares. Upon such exchange, all of the Btab Preferred Shares shall be terminated, extinguished and cancelled in full (the transactions in this paragraph above, collectively, the “Btab Reorganization”).
Transaction Consideration
The Transaction consideration to be paid by Pubco to the shareholders of Btab as of immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time (the “Btab Shareholders”) for their Btab Common Shares and their Btab Class V Shares shall be an aggregate amount equal to $250,000,000 (the “IWAC Equity Value”). The Transaction consideration shall be paid solely by Pubco issuing an aggregate of 25,000,000 new shares of common stock to the Btab Shareholders, consisting of 24,900,000 Pubco Class A Common Shares (the “Aggregate Class A Share Consideration”) and 100,000 Pubco Class V Common Shares (the “Aggregate Class V Share Consideration”), with each Pubco Class A Common Share and each Pubco Class V Common Share valued at $10.00 per share.
At the Purchaser Merger Effective Time, (1) each issued and outstanding IWAC Class A Common Share shall be converted automatically into and thereafter represent the right to receive one Pubco Class A Common Share and (2) each issued and outstanding IWAC public warrant shall be converted into one Pubco public Warrant, and each outstanding IWAC private warrant shall be converted into one Pubco private warrant, and each of the Pubco public warrants and Pubco private warrants shall have and be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions set forth in the IWAC public warrants and IWAC private warrants, respectively.
At the Company Merger Effective Time, (1) each Btab Common Share (other than (x) the Btab Common Shares that are dissenting shares and (y) treasury shares) issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, shall be automatically canceled and extinguished and converted into the right to receive a number of Pubco Class A Common Shares equal to its pro rata share of the Aggregate Class A Share Consideration, and (2) the BtabClass V Shares (other than (x) the Btab Class V Shares that are dissenting shares and (y) treasury shares) issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, shall be automatically canceled and extinguished and converted into the right to receive the Aggregate Class V Share Consideration.
Effective upon the Purchaser Merger Effective Time, Pubco will amend and restate its (i) certificate of incorporation in a form reasonably acceptable to the Parties (the “Proposed Charter”) and (ii) bylaws. The Proposed Charter will reflect the change of the corporate name of Pubco to “BTAB Ecommerce Holdings, Inc.” In addition, the Proposed Charter shall include a new class of Pubco voting common stock with 1,000 votes per share, par value $0.0001 (the “Pubco Class V Common Shares”).

The Business Combination Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the parties made to each other as of the date of the Business Combination Agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the Business Combination Agreement. The Business Combination Agreement has been attached to provide investors with information regarding its terms and is not intended to provide any other factual information about IWAC, Btab or any other party to the Business Combination Agreement. In particular, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the Business Combination Agreement, which were made only for purposes of the Business Combination Agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties (including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Business Combination Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts) and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors and reports and documents filed with the SEC. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, or any descriptions thereof, as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of any party to the Business Combination Agreement. In addition, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements and other terms of the Business Combination Agreement may be subject to subsequent waiver or modification. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties and other terms may change after the date of the Business Combination Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in IWAC’s public disclosures.
Important Information About the Business Combination and Where to Find It
In connection with the Business Combination Agreement and the Transactions, Pubco intends to file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-4, which will include a prospectus for Pubco’s securities and a proxy statement for IWAC’s shareholders (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement has not been filed with or declared effective by the SEC. Promptly after the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, IWAC will mail the definitive proxy statement and a proxy card to its shareholders. Investors and securityholders of IWAC and other interested persons are advised to read, when available, the preliminary proxy statement to be filed with the SEC, and amendments thereto, and the definitive proxy statement in connection with IWAC’s solicitation of proxies for the special meeting to be held to approve the Business Combination Agreement and the Transactions, and other documents filed in connection with the proposed Transactions because these documents will contain important information about Btab, IWAC, the combined company following the consummation of the Transactions and the Business Combination Agreement. The definitive proxy statement will be mailed to IWAC’s shareholders as of a record date to be established in the future for voting on the Business Combination Agreement. The Registration Statement, including the definitive proxy statement, the preliminary proxy statement and other relevant materials in connection with the Transactions (when they become available), and any other documents filed by IWAC with the SEC, may be obtained free of charge at the SEC's website (www.sec.gov) or by writing to: Integrated Wellness Acquisition Corp, 148 N Main Street, Florida, NY 10921, Attention: Mr. Suren Ajjarapu.
Participants in the Solicitation
IWAC, Btab and their respective directors, executive officers, other members of management and employees may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies from IWAC’s shareholders with respect to the Transactions. Investors and securityholders may obtain more detailed information regarding the names and interests in the Transactions of IWAC’s directors and officers in Pubco and IWAC’s filings with the SEC, including, when filed with the SEC, the preliminary proxy statement and the amendments thereto, the definitive proxy statement, and other documents filed with the SEC, and such information with respect to Btab’s directors and executive officers will also be included in the proxy statement.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws with respect to the proposed Transactions between IWAC and Btab, including without limitation statements regarding the anticipated benefits of the Transactions, the anticipated timing of the Transactions, the implied enterprise value, future financial condition and performance of Btab and the combined company after the Closing and expected financial impacts of the Transactions, the satisfaction of closing conditions to the Transactions, the pre-money valuation of Btab (which is subject to certain inputs that may change prior to the Closing of the Transactions and is subject to adjustment after the Closing of the Transactions), the level of redemptions of IWAC’s public shareholders and the products and markets and expected future performance and market opportunities of Btab. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result” and similar expressions, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties.
Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including but not limited to: (i) the risk that the proposed Transactions may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of IWAC’s securities; (ii) the risk that the proposed Transactions may not be completed by IWAC’s initial business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline if sought by IWAC; (iii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Transactions, including the approval of the Business Combination Agreement by the shareholders of IWAC; (iv) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement; (v) the failure to achieve the minimum amount of cash available following any redemptions by IWAC’s shareholders; (vi) redemptions exceeding a maximum threshold or the failure to meet the New York Stock Exchange’s initial listing standards in connection with the consummation of the contemplated Transactions; (vii) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Transactions on Btab’s business relationships, operating results, and business generally; (viii) risks that the proposed Transactions disrupts current plans and operations of Btab; (ix) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Btab or against IWAC related to the Business Combination Agreement or the proposed Transactions; (x) changes in the markets in which Btab competes, including with respect to its competitive landscape, technology evolution or regulatory changes; (xi) changes in domestic and global general economic conditions; (xii) risk that Btab may not be able to execute its growth strategies; (xiii) risk that Btab may not be able to develop and maintain effective internal controls; (xiv) costs related to the Transactions and the failure to realize anticipated benefits of the Transactions or to realize estimated pro forma results and underlying assumptions, including with respect to estimated shareholder redemptions; (xv) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed Transactions and to achieve its commercialization and development plans, and identify and realize additional opportunities, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of Btab to grow and manage growth economically and hire and retain key employees; (xvi) Btab’s limited operating history, its limited financial resources, domestic or global economic conditions, activities of competitors, and the presence of new or additional competition, and conditions of equity markets; and (xvii) those factors discussed in IWAC’s filings with the SEC and that that will be contained in the proxy statement relating to the proposed Transactions.
The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties that will be described in the “Risk Factors” section of the preliminary proxy statement and the amendments thereto, the definitive proxy statement, and other documents to be filed by IWAC 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. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and while Btab and IWAC may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, they assume no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. Neither of Btab or IWAC gives any assurance that Btab or IWAC, or the combined company, will achieve its expectations.
No Offer or Solicitation
This Current Report on Form 8-K will not constitute a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the Transactions. This Current Report on Form 8-K will also not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor will there be any sale of securities in any states or jurisdictions in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
