(the “Issuer”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.
The information set forth in response to each separate Item below shall be deemed to be a response to all Items where such information is relevant. Items 4 and 6 to the Schedule 13D are supplementally amended as follows, and Item 5 to the Schedule 13D is amended and restated as follows. Information with respect to each Reporting Person is given solely by such Reporting Person and no Reporting Person assumes responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the information furnished by another Reporting Person, except as otherwise provided in Rule 13d-1(k).
| ITEM 4. | PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION |
Public Shares
As previously disclosed, pursuant to the merger agreement (“Merger Agreement”) dated as of June 27, 2023 between the Issuer, Airship AI Holdings, Inc. and the other parties thereto, the Issuer agreed to enter into non-redemption agreements with certain investors pursuant to which such investors will commit to hold or acquire, as applicable, and not to redeem an aggregate of $7 million of Class A Shares initially included as part of the units sold in the Issuer’s initial public offering (the “Public Shares”) in connection with the business combination contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Business Combination”).
On August 1, 2023, the Issuer and the Sponsor entered into a non-redemption agreement (“Non-Redemption Agreement”). Pursuant to the Non-Redemption Agreement, Sponsor agreed to acquire from shareholders of the Issuer $6 million in aggregate value of Public Shares, either in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, at a price no higher than the redemption price per share payable to public shareholders who exercise redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares, prior to the closing date of the Business Combination, to waive its redemption rights and hold the Public Shares through the closing date of the Business Combination, and to abstain from voting and not vote the Public Shares in favor of or against the Business Combination. As consideration for the Non-Redemption Agreement, the Issuer agreed to pay the Sponsor $0.033 per Public Share per month, which will begin accruing on the date that is three days after the date of the Non-Redemption Agreement and terminate on the earlier of the closing date of the Business Combination, the termination of the Merger Agreement, or the Outside Closing Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement).
On August 21, 2023, pursuant to its obligations under the Non-Redemption Agreement, the Sponsor acquired an aggregate of 500,000 Public Shares in privately negotiated transactions at a price per share of $10.565, for an aggregate purchase price of $5,282,500.
Conversion of Class B Shares; Issuance of Class B Share
Effective as of March 27, 2023, pursuant to the terms of the Issuer’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Sponsor elected to convert each outstanding Class B ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Shares”) of the Issuer then held by it on a one-for-one basis into Class A Shares.
On June 26, 2023, the Issuer issued one Class B Share to the Sponsor for no consideration for administrative purposes. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, immediately following shareholder approval of the Business Combination and related matters, Sponsor will surrender the Class B Share to the Issuer for no consideration.
