Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented by adding the following (which shall be deemed to replace the sub-section that was inserted pursuant to Amendment No. 1):

 

Purchase and Sponsor Handover Agreement

 

On February 2, 2024, the Issuer 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 (the “New Sponsor”), and 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 in exchange for the New Sponsor assuming certain liabilities of the Issuer and the Sponsor, including costs and expenses incurred by the Issuer 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 the Issuer (together, the “Sponsor Handover”). New Sponsor also agreed to convert approximately $425,000 of working capital notes owed by the Issuer to the Sponsor into Class A Ordinary Shares at the closing of an initial business combination of the Issuer 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 the Issuer’s board of directors (the “Board”) and a new management team for the Issuer were appointed by the existing Board and the existing Board members and the existing management team (other than the Issuer’s Chief Operating Officer, Jesvin Kaur) resigned (the “Director and Management Handover”), effective upon consummation of the Sponsor Handover. Following the signing of the Purchase and Sponsor Handover Agreement, the parties prepared and filed an information statement to the Issuer’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 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 the Issuer and each of the former directors and officers of the Issuer (the “Indemnitees”) in connection with the Issuer’s initial public offering, and, if requested by the Sponsor or any other Indemnitee, the Issuer 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 Issuer, the Sponsor and the officers and directors of the Issuer (the “Letter Agreement”).

 

Pursuant to the Purchase and Sponsor Handover Agreement, consummation of the Sponsor Handover was conditional on, among other things, (i) each of the underwriters of the Issuer’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 the Issuer, 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 the Issuer, (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 the Issuer, and (ii) the Issuer and the New Sponsor agreed to release the directors and officers of the Issuer (as of the date of the Purchase and Sponsor Handover Agreement) and the Sponsor from any and all claims relating to the Issuer 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 the Issuer for an extraordinary meeting of shareholders with the SEC, (a) include a proposal to change the name of the Issuer 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 the Issuer and change the “tickers” under which each of the Issuer’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 the Issuer, the Sponsor and the independent directors of the Issuer (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 the Issuer (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.

 

On February 21, 2024, all of the conditions to the consummation of the Sponsor Handover were satisfied or waived and the Sponsor Handover was consummated. Therefore, as of the date hereof, the Sponsor holds 2,995,523 Class A Ordinary Shares.
