ITEM 4.

PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

 This Statement on Schedule 13D is being filed solely due to the redemption of 23,046,578 Shares by Issuer stockholders on December 12, 2022, after which the Reporting Persons' aggregate beneficial ownership of the Shares was above 50%.

On November 11, 2022, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with MTAC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (“Merger Sub”), and TriSalus Life Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“TriSalus”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into TriSalus (the “Merger”), with TriSalus surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer, and with TriSalus’s equity holders receiving shares of the Issuer’s common stock (the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the related ancillary agreements, the “Business Combination”).

In connection with the Merger Agreement, the Issuer, TriSalus and Magnetar Capital LLC (the “Investor”) entered into a non-binding term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) providing for the sale and issuance of up to $50,000,000 of 8.0% senior secured convertible notes (the “Convertible Notes”) by the Issuer concurrent with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”). The Term Sheet, which grants the Investor the exclusive right to negotiate the foregoing proposed debt financing, provides for the Issuer to issue $25,000,000 or $50,000,000 of such Convertible Notes at the Closing, and grants the Investor the option to purchase the same principal amount of purchased Convertible Notes during the two-year period following the Closing (resulting in the potential issuance of up to $100,000,000 of such Convertible Notes). The Convertible Notes would have a three-year maturity, and would be convertible into shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $10.00 per share, with conversion price resets and certain anti-dilution rights, with the conversion feature subject to certain ownership limitations. Other than exclusivity and certain expense reimbursement and indemnity obligations of the Issuer and TriSalus, the term sheet is non-binding on each of the parties thereto, and the parties’ obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated therein are subject in all respects to the completion of the Investor’s due diligence process, the negotiation and execution of definitive transaction documents to the Investor’s satisfaction, and the satisfaction of certain other conditions.

The foregoing description of the Term Sheet does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Term Sheet, which is included as Exhibit 2 to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Reporting Persons acquired the Shares for investment purposes, and such purchases have been made in the Reporting Persons' ordinary course of business. The Reporting Persons expect to review from time to time their investment in the Issuer and may, depending on the market and other conditions, formulate a plan or proposal which may relate to or result in: (i) the purchase of additional Shares, options or related derivatives of the Issuer in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise; (ii) the sale of all or a portion of the Shares, options or related derivatives of the Issuer now beneficially owned or hereafter acquired by them; (iii) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (iv) a sale or transfer of a material amount of the assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (v) a change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; (vi) a material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (vii) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure; (viii) a change in the Issuer’s charter or bylaws or other instrument corresponding thereto or other action which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (ix) causing a class of the Issuer’s securities to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (x) causing a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act; or (xi) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.
