Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 1, 2023, Jupiter Wellness Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”), Chijet Motor Company, Inc. (“Pubco”) and Chijet Holdings Limited (the “Subject Seller”) entered into non-redemption agreements (each, a “Non-Redemption Agreement”) with certain holders of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Shares”), of the Company, some of which are members of the Company’s sponsor, Jupiter Wellness Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), including Jupiter Wellness Investment Corp. (each, a “Holder,” and collectively, the “Holders”), where each Holder agreed to (i) not transfer their Class A Shares prior to the consummation (the “Closing”) of the Company’s initial business combination (the “Business Combination”) with Pubco and Chijet Inc., (ii) not request redemption with respect to their Class A Shares at the special meeting of shareholders of the Company (the “Special Meeting”) to seek shareholder approval for, among other things, the Business Combination, and (ii) reverse any previously submitted redemption demand in connection with the Business Combination with respect to the Class A Shares. The Non-Redemption Agreements are for approximately 0.53 million Class A Shares (the “Subject Shares”) (of which approximately 0.34 million Class A Shares are held by members of the Sponsor) and should result in an additional approximately $5.6 million in funds staying in the Company’s trust account at the Closing (of which approximately $3.6 million in funds is attributable to members of the Sponsor).
In consideration for agreeing not to redeem their Class A Shares, the Subject Seller, through Pubco, agreed to provide down-side protection to each Holder, whereby, in the event that within 90 days after the Closing, the daily volume-weighted average price of the Pubco ordinary shares for each trading day during any 10 consecutive trading day period is less than: (i) $10.00, the Subject Seller will transfer and surrender to Pubco for cancellation in the aggregate a number of Pubco ordinary shares equal to the number of Subject Shares that such Holder owns and has not transferred as of the end of such 10 consecutive trading day period, and Pubco will cancel such shares and issue to such Holder a number of new Pubco ordinary shares equal in the aggregate to the number of such Pubco ordinary shares that are surrendered; and (ii) $5.00, in addition to the shares forfeited at such $10.00 threshold, the Subject Seller will transfer and surrender to Pubco for cancellation in the aggregate an additional number of Pubco ordinary shares equal to the number of Subject Shares that such Holder owns and has not transferred as of the end of such 10 consecutive trading day period, and Pubco will cancel such shares and issue to such Holder a number of new Pubco ordinary shares equal in the aggregate to the number of such shares that are surrendered (together with such shares issued by Pubco under clause (i), the “Downside Protection Shares”).
In addition, Pubco agreed to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (at Pubco’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of any Downside Protection Shares and any Subject Shares as necessary, and Pubco agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof.
In the Non-Redemption Agreements, the Holders also agreed to a customary waiver against the Company’s trust account. The Non-Redemption Agreements are not expected to increase the likelihood that the business combination is approved by shareholders but will increase the amount of funds that remain in the Company’s trust account following the Special Meeting.
The foregoing description of the Non-Redemption Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the form of Non-Redemption Agreement filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
