Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
The Business Combination Agreement
On November 16, 2021, Alpha Capital Acquisition Company (“SPAC”) entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) by and among Alpha Capital Holdco Company, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands (“New PubCo”), Alpha Merger Sub I Company, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of New PubCo (“First Merger Sub”), Alpha Merger Sub II Company, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of New PubCo (“Second Merger Sub” and, together with First Merger Sub, the “SPAC Merger Subs”), Alpha Merger Sub III Company, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of New PubCo (“Third Merger Sub” and, together with SPAC Merger Subs, the “Merger Subs”), Semantix Tecnologia em Sistema de Informação S.A., a sociedade anônima organized under the laws of Brazil (the “Company”), and SPAC, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands. Each of New PubCo, the Merger Subs, the Company and SPAC will individually be referred to herein as a “Party” and, collectively, as the “Parties.”
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Parties have agreed that, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, (i) prior to the Closing (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), the Company shareholders will contribute their shares of the Company into a newly incorporated entity in the Cayman Islands (“Newco”) in exchange for ordinary shares of Newco (“Newco Ordinary Shares”) and (ii) on the Closing Date (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), substantially concurrently with and immediately after the closing of the PIPE Investment (as defined below), (A) First Merger Sub shall be merged with and into SPAC (the “First Merger”), with SPAC surviving as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of New PubCo, (B) immediately following the First Merger, SPAC, as successor in the First Merger, shall be merged with and into Second Merger Sub (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “SPAC Mergers”), with Second Merger Sub surviving as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of New PubCo, and (C) as soon as practicable following the Second Merger, Third Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Newco (the “Newco Merger” and, together with the SPAC Merger, the “Mergers”) with Newco surviving as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of New PubCo.
As a result of the Newco Merger, among other things, (i) each outstanding Newco Ordinary Share will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration Value (as defined below), (ii) each Vested Company Option (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) will be automatically deemed to have been exercised in full immediately prior to the Newco Merger for New Pubco Ordinary Shares (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) as determined by the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), and (iii) each Unvested Company Option (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) will become a Converted Option (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) to acquire an amount of New Pubco Ordinary Shares as determined by the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) on substantially the same terms and conditions applicable to such Unvested Company Option prior to the closing of the Newco Merger.
The Per Share Merger Consideration Value shall be delivered in newly issued New Pubco Ordinary Shares based on a $10.00 per share price, based on the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement). In addition, certain of the Company’s existing stockholders (the “Earn-Out Participants”) will be issued up to an additional 2,500,000 newly issued New PubCo Ordinary Shares (the “Earn-Out Shares”), (i) if at any time during the 5 year period following the Closing Date (the end of such period, the “First Release Date”) the closing share price of the New PubCo Ordinary Shares is greater than or equal to $12.50 over any 20 Trading Days (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) within any consecutive 30 Trading Day period, 50% of the Earn-Out Shares shall be issued; and (ii) if at any time during the 5 year period following the Closing Date (the end of such period, the “Second Release Date”) the closing share price of the New PubCo Ordinary Shares is greater than or equal to $15.00 over any 20 Trading Days within any consecutive 30 Trading Day period, the remaining 50% of the Earn-Out Shares shall be issued. The “Per Share Merger Consideration Value” has the meaning ascribed to it in the Business Combination Agreement.
