Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Merger Agreement
On September 3, 2024, Keen Vision Acquisition Corporation, a British Virgin Islands business company limited by shares (“KVAC” or “Parent”), entered into a merger agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), with Medera Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Medera” or “Company”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, KVAC will incorporate a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Acquirer”) to be a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of KVAC for the purpose of the merger of KVAC with and into the Acquirer (the “Reincorporation Merger”), in which Acquirer will be the surviving entity. Acquirer upon its incorporation will form a Cayman Islands exempted company to be a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Acquirer (“Merger Sub”, together with KVAC and Acquirer, the “Parent Parties” and each a “Parent Party”) for the purpose of effectuating the Acquisition Merger (as defined below).
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, (a) KVAC will reincorporate by merging with and into the Acquirer, in which the Acquirer will be the surviving company and KVAC will cease to exist, and (b) promptly after the Reincorporation Merger, the parties intend to effect a merger of Merger Sub with and into Medera, in which Medera will be the surviving entity (the “Acquisition Merger”, together with the Reincorporation Merger, the “Mergers” and together with the other transactions related thereto, the “Proposed Business Combination”).
Merger Consideration
Conversion of Medera Ordinary Shares
At the effective time of the Acquisition Merger, each outstanding Medera Ordinary Share (excluding treasury shares and dissenting shares) will be canceled and converted into the right to receive a number of Acquirer Ordinary Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio, as outlined in the Merger Agreement. The number of Acquirer Ordinary Shares to be delivered by Acquirer to shareholders of Medera at the Closing is based on a net value of $622,560,00 for 100% of Medera’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares, with each Acquirer Ordinary Share valued at $10.00. The number of Acquirer Ordinary Shares to be delivered at Closing is subject to certain adjustments as further set forth in the Merger Agreement. Upon Closing, shareholders of Medera will no longer hold any rights in the Medera Ordinary Shares they held prior to the Closing except the right to receive their portion of the Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger Agreement.
Treatment of Medera RSUs
Prior to the Closing, all outstanding restricted stock units of Medera, including those issued to Medera’s employees or service providers under the Company Equity Incentive Plan (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (whether vested or unvested) (the “Medera RSUs”), will be adjusted to convert into restricted stock units of Acquirer, based on the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Merger Agreement), and will remain subject to the same terms and conditions as the original Medera RSUs. The Acquirer will assume all obligations under the Company Equity Incentive Plan and the agreements related to the Converted RSU (as defined in the Merger Agreement).
Issuance of Merger Consideration
In connection with the Mergers, fractional shares of the Acquirer Ordinary Shares that would otherwise be issued to Medera’s shareholders will be rounded to the nearest whole share. Specifically, any fractional share amounting to 0.50 or greater will be rounded up to the nearest whole number, while those less than 0.50 will be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

In the Merger Agreement, the Company makes certain representations and warranties generally subject to customary materiality qualifers (with certain exceptions set forth in the disclosure schedules to the Merger Agreement) relating to, among other things: (1) corporate existence and power of the Company and its subsidiaries (together, the “Company Group”) and similar corporate matters; (2) authorization, execution, delivery and enforceability of the Merger Agreement and other transaction documents; (3) no need for governmental authorization for the execution, delivery or performance of the Merger Agreement and additional agreements thereto (“Ancillary Agreements”); (4) absence of conflicts; (5) capital structure of the Company; (6) accuracy of the list of each subsidiary of the Company; (7) accuracy of corporate records; (8) required consents and approvals; (9) financial statements; (10) internal accounting controls; (11) absence of certain changes or events; (12) title to assets and properties; (13) litigation threatened against or affecting the Company and its subsidiaries; (14) material contracts; (15) material licenses and permits; (16) compliance with laws; (17) intellectual property and privacy; (18) employees and employment matters; (19) withholding of obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries applicable to its employees; (20) employee benefits; (21) real property; (22) tax matters; (23) environmental laws; (24) finders’ fees; (25) accuracy of the list of directors and officers; (26) anti-money laundering laws; (27) insurance; (28) related party transactions; (29) that no trading or any short sale of Parent’s voting stock or securities; (30) that the Company is not an investment company; (31) regulatory permits and compliance with healthcare laws; and (32) that none of the information supplied by the Company in the filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 8-K contains, and certain oral statements made by representatives of KVAC and Medera and their respective affiliates, from time to time may contain, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. KVAC’s and Medera’s actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are also forward-looking statements. Words such as “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “seek,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “may,” “target,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” “preliminary,” or similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, KVAC’s, Medera’s, or their respective management teams’ expectations concerning the outlook for their or Medera’s business, productivity, plans, and goals for future operational improvements and capital investments, operational performance, future market conditions, or economic performance and developments in the capital and credit markets and expected future financial performance, including expected net proceeds, expected additional funding, the percentage of redemptions of KVAC’s public shareholders, growth prospects and outlook of Medera’s operations, individually or in the aggregate, including the achievement of project milestones, commencement and completion of commercial operations of certain of Medera’s projects, as well as any information concerning possible or assumed future results of operations of Medera. Forward-looking statements also include statements regarding the expected benefits of the Proposed Business Combination. The forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations of the respective management teams of Medera and KVAC, as applicable, and are inherently subject to uncertainties and changes in circumstance and their potential effects. There can be no assurance that future developments will be those that have been anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: (i) the risk that the Proposed Business Combination may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of KVAC’s securities; (ii) the risk that the Proposed Business Combination may not be completed by KVAC’s business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline if sought by KVAC; (iii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination, including the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the shareholders of KVAC and the receipt of certain regulatory approvals; (iv) market risks; (v) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; (vi) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Proposed Business Combination on Medera’s business relationships, performance, and business generally; (vii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Medera or KVAC related to the Merger Agreement or the Proposed Business Combination; (viii) failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Business Combination; (ix) the inability to maintain the listing of KVAC’s securities or to meet listing requirements and maintain the listing of Medera’s securities on Nasdaq; (x) the inability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the completion of the Proposed Business Combination, identify and realize additional opportunities, and manage its growth and expanding operations; (xi) risks related to Medera’s ability to develop, license or acquire new therapeutics; (xii) the risk that Medera will need to raise additional capital to execute its business plan, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all; (xiii) the risk of product liability or regulatory lawsuits or proceedings relating to Medera’s business; (xiv) uncertainties inherent in the execution, cost, and completion of preclinical studies and clinical trials; (xv) risks related to regulatory review, and approval and commercial development; (xvi) risks associated with intellectual property protection; (xvii) Medera’s limited operating history and risk that it may never successfully commercialise its products; (xviii) Medera expects to continue to incur significant losses and may never achieve or maintain profitability; and (xix) the risk that additional financing in connection with the Proposed Business Combination may not be raised on favorable terms. The foregoing list is not exhaustive, and there may be additional risks that neither KVAC nor Medera presently knows or that KVAC and Medera currently believe are immaterial. 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. There may be additional risks that neither KVAC nor Medera presently know, or that KVAC and Medera currently believe are immaterial, that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which reflect current beliefs and are based on information currently available as of the date a forward-looking statement is made. KVAC and Medera undertake no obligation to revise forward-looking statements to reflect future events, changes in circumstances, or changes in beliefs. In the event that any forward-looking statement is updated, no inference should be made that Medera or KVAC will make additional updates with respect to that statement, related matters, or any other forward-looking statements. Any corrections or revisions and other important assumptions and factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements, including discussions of significant risk factors, may appear, up to the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination, in KVAC’s public filings with the SEC, and which readers are advised to review carefully.
There may be additional risks that neither KVAC nor Medera presently know or that KVAC and Medera currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect KVAC’s and Medera’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Form 8-K. KVAC and Medera anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause KVAC’s and Medera’s assessments to change. However, while KVAC and Medera may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, KVAC and Medera specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing KVAC’s and Medera’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Form 8-K. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
