Purchase and Sponsor Handover Agreement
On February 2, 2024, EVe Mobility Acquisition Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“EVe”), entered into a Purchase and Sponsor Handover Agreement (the “Purchase and Sponsor Handover Agreement”) with Blufire Capital Limited, an Abu Dhabi private company limited by shares, and EVe Mobility Sponsor LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), pursuant to which, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, (i) the Sponsor agreed to transfer and assign 6,320,667 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of EVe (“Class A Ordinary Shares”) in exchange for the New Sponsor assuming certain liabilities of EVe and the Sponsor, including costs and expenses incurred by EVe and the Sponsor in the ordinary course of business or in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase and Sponsor Handover Agreement, and (ii) the New Sponsor agreed to become the sponsor of EVe (together, the “Sponsor Handover”). New Sponsor also agreed to convert approximately $425,000 of working capital notes owed by EVe to the Sponsor into Class A Ordinary Shares at the closing of an initial business combination of EVe at a rate of one Class A Ordinary Share for every $10.00 principal amount of such working capital notes.
As a condition to consummation of the Sponsor Handover, new members of EVe’s board of directors (the “Board”) and a new management team for EVe must be appointed by the existing Board and the existing Board members and the existing management team (other than EVe’s Chief Operating Officer, Jesvin Kaur) must resign (the “Director and Management Handover”), which must be effective upon consummation of the Sponsor Handover. Each of the parties agreed to use its best efforts to, as soon as reasonably practicable following the signing of the Purchase and Sponsor Handover Agreement, prepare and coordinate the filing of an information statement to EVe’s shareholders in accordance with the requirements of Section 14(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 14f-1 thereunder with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase and Sponsor Handover Agreement, the New Sponsor also agreed, among other things, to (i) indemnify and hold harmless the Sponsor on terms that are the same as each of the Indemnity Agreements (the “Indemnity Agreements”), dated December 14, 2021 and October 13, 2023, entered into between EVe and each of the current and former directors and officers of EVe (the “Indemnitees”) in connection with EVe’s initial public offering, and, if requested by the Sponsor or any other Indemnitee, EVe and the New Sponsor shall assume the defense of any relevant claims or proceedings, (ii) on or prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase and Sponsor Handover Agreement, at its own cost and expense to (a) extend the term of the existing directors and officers liability insurance policy until December 17, 2024 and (b) obtain commercially reasonable run-off or “tail” directors and officers liability insurance policy coverage, and (iii) with effect from the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase and Sponsor Handover Agreement, join as a party to the Letter Agreement, dated December 14, 2021, by and among the Sponsor, the officers and directors of EVe and EVe (the “Letter Agreement”).
The Purchase and Sponsor Handover Agreement provides that consummation of the Sponsor Handover is conditional on, among other things, (i) each of the underwriters of EVe’s initial public offering (the “Underwriters”) waiving in writing (a) its right to receive the deferred underwriting fee and any other amounts or rights it may have pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, dated December 14, 2021, by and among the Underwriters and EVe, and (b) all rights and fees they may have under the Business Combination Marketing Agreement, dated December 14, 2021, by and among the Underwriters and EVe, (ii) the New Sponsor joining as a party to the Letter Agreement, (iii) the Director and Management Handover, and (iv) the New Sponsor, at its own cost and expense, having extended the term of the existing directors and officers liability insurance policy until December 17, 2024.
In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase and Sponsor Handover Agreement, (i) each of the parties thereto agreed, among other things, that the provisions of the Indemnity Agreements shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any resignation of the directors and officers of EVe, and (ii) EVe and the New Sponsor agreed to release the directors and officers of EVe (as of the date of the Purchase and Sponsor Handover Agreement) and the Sponsor from any and all claims relating to EVe that accrued or may have accrued prior to consummation of the Sponsor Handover. The New Sponsor also agreed to (i) use its best efforts to, upon filing any definitive proxy statement of EVe for an extraordinary meeting of shareholders with the SEC, (a) include a proposal to change the name of EVe to a name selected by the New Sponsor, (b) obtain approval of the proposals set forth in such definitive proxy statement, and (c) following receipt of such approval, change the name of EVe and change the “tickers” under which each of EVe’s securities trades on the NYSE American LLC to different “tickers” to be selected by the New Sponsor, and (ii) procure that, in connection with an initial business combination entered into by EVe, the Sponsor and the independent directors of EVe (as of the date of the Purchase and Sponsor Handover Agreement) shall have the benefit of demand, piggyback and shelf registration rights with respect to any securities of EVe (or any successor company following an initial business combination) that are owned by the Sponsor or such independent directors on terms that are at least equal to those granted to the New Sponsor in connection with such initial business combination.
There can be no assurance that the conditions to the consummation of the Sponsor Handover will be satisfied or that the Sponsor Handover will be consummated.
The Purchase and Sponsor Handover Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties, including, among others, with respect to corporate authority. The representations and warranties of each party set forth in the Purchase and Sponsor Handover Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the other parties to the Purchase and Sponsor Handover Agreement, and shareholders of EVe are not third-party beneficiaries of the Purchase and Sponsor Handover.
