Item 1.01. Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Merger Agreement

 

On June 21, 2023, TLGY Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“TLGY”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among TLGY, Virgo Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of TLGY (“Merger Sub”), Verde Bioresins, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Verde”), and, solely for Sections 3.07, 3.10, 7.13 and Article XI thereof, TLGY Sponsors LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (“Sponsor”). Capitalized terms used in this Current Report on Form 8-K but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Merger Agreement.

 

The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were approved by the boards of directors of each of TLGY and Verde.

 

The transactions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including the Merger (as defined below), will constitute a “business combination” as contemplated by TLGY’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

 

The Business Combination

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, after the satisfaction or waiver of the applicable closing conditions (including the required shareholder approvals), the closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Acquiror Share Redemption Payment, the Redomicile and the Merger (collectively, the “Business Combination”) will begin. The date on which the Closing actually begins is hereinafter referred to as the “First Closing Date.”

 

On the First Closing Date, (i) TLGY will redeem the Class A ordinary shares that the holders thereof have elected to redeem in connection with the Merger; (ii) TLGY will file a certificate of domestication (“Certificate of Domestication”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in connection with the Redomicile (as defined below), which shall specify that the Redomicile shall become effective on the next business day after the Certificate of Domestication has been filed or at such later time as the parties may mutually agree to (the date on which the Redomicile becomes effective, the “Second Closing Date”); and (iii) Verde will file a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which will specify that the Merger (as defined below) shall become effective on the second Business Day after the Certificate of Merger has been filed or at such later time as the parties may mutually agree to (the “Effective Time” and the date on which the Merger becomes effective, the “Third Closing Date”).

 

On the Second Closing Date, through, among other things, the effectiveness of the Certificate of Domestication, TLGY will change its jurisdiction of incorporation by deregistering as a Cayman Islands exempted company and continuing and domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Redomicile”), pursuant to which, among other things, (a) TLGY will adopt the certificate of incorporation in the form set forth as Exhibit D to the Merger Agreement and (b) each Class B ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of TLGY (the “Class B Ordinary Shares”) shall convert into a share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the redomiciled TLGY (“Acquiror Common Stock”) and each Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of TLGY shall convert into a share of Acquiror Common Stock, and, as a result of which and pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, each Existing Acquiror Private Placement Warrant shall automatically convert, on a one-for-one basis, into one Domesticated Acquiror Private Placement Warrant and each Existing Acquiror Private Placement Warrant shall automatically convert, on a one-for-one basis, into one Domesticated Acquiror Public Warrant. In connection with the Redomicile, TLGY will change its name to “Verde Bioresins, Corp.”, or such other name mutually agreed to by TLGY and Verde (“New Verde”).

 

On the Third Closing Day, through, among other things, the effectiveness of the Certificate of Merger, Merger Sub will merge with and into Verde (the “Merger”), with Verde surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Verde. In the Merger, the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Verde will be converted into the right to receive the Closing Merger Consideration (as defined below). Additionally, on the Third Closing Date, Acquiror shall have been approved to trade publicly on the NASDAQ under the new ticker symbol “VRDE”.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Verde be responsible for reimbursing TLGY or the Sponsor for any costs and expenses in the event of a failure to consummate the Business Combination for reasons primarily attributable to TLGY or the Sponsor, including, without limitation, as a result of (i) TLGY or the Sponsor breaching the binding provisions of the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, (ii) Fraud or Willful Breach on the part of TLGY or the Sponsor, or (iii) the termination of the Merger Agreement (1) by mutual written consent of Verde and TLGY, (2) by Verde, subject to certain exceptions, if any of the representations and warranties made by TLGY are not true and correct or if TLGY fails to perform any of its covenants or agreements set forth in the Merger Agreement such that the condition to the obligations of Verde cannot be satisfied and the breach (or breaches) of such representations or warranties or failure (or failures) to perform such covenants or agreements, as applicable, are not cured or cannot be cured within certain specified time periods, (3) by Verde, if there has been any Acquiror Change in Recommendation, (4) by Verde, prior to TLGY obtaining the Acquiror Shareholder Approvals, if the TLGY board of directors changes its recommendation that TLGY shareholders approve the proposals included in the proxy statement/prospectus or fails to include such recommendation in the proxy statement/prospectus, and (5) by Verde, if the Acquiror Shareholder Approvals are not obtained at the Extraordinary General Meeting (subject to any adjournment or recess of the meeting in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Merger Agreement).

 

If Verde is obligated to reimburse TLGY and/or the Sponsor, Verde shall make such payment to TLGY and/or the Sponsor within ten (10) Business Days after receiving written notice of TLGY and/or the Sponsor requesting such reimbursement (the last day of such ten (10)-Business Day period, the “Due Date”). If Verde fails to pay any amount payable by it by the Due Date, interest shall accrue on the overdue amount from the Due Date up to the date of actual payment at a rate of 10% per annum, compounded monthly.

 

If the Closing occurs, TLGY shall pay, or cause to be paid, (a) the Transaction Expenses, and (b) if applicable, any Stockholder Extension Advances (as defined below), Working Capital Loans and Sponsor Extension Loans outstanding on the thirtieth (30th) day after the Third Closing Date (together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon), in each case, upon consummation of the Merger and release of proceeds from the Trust Account in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

 

A copy of the Merger Agreement is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto. The Merger Agreement is included to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms and is not intended to provide any other factual information about TLGY, Verde or the other parties thereto. The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of the Merger Agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating such agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement are also modified in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules, which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to shareholders and were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. TLGY does not believe that these schedules contain information that is material to an investment decision. Accordingly, investors and security holders should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement as characterizations of the actual state of facts about TLGY, Verde and the other parties thereto.

The other terms of the Stockholder Extension Advances shall be substantially the same as the Stockholder Notes, and Verde will issue to Humanitario a convertible promissory note for each Stockholder Extension Advance.

 

Humanitario shall have the right to direct Verde to convert all or any portion of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Company Extension Loans (together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon) into New Verde Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Any New Verde Common Stock issued in respect of the Company Extension Loans so converted shall be transferred by Verde to Humanitario in exchange for the cancellation (in whole or in part) of the corresponding Stockholder Extension Advances.

Pursuant to the Voting Trust Agreement, Humanitario will transfer and assign to the Voting Trustee all of the Closing Merger Consideration and the Earnout Shares received or to be received by Humanitario pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, effective as of the Effective Time .

 

If the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, promptly upon such termination, Verde will reimburse Humanitario for all Humanitario Transaction Expenses.

Notwithstanding the above, the Sponsor may forfeit and surrender, rather than Grant, up to 281,487 Sponsor Warrants so reserved as Incentive Warrants, if the Sponsor determines, acting in good faith, that the Incentive Grantees have not used reasonable efforts to facilitate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (including cooperating with the Sponsor and TLGY to raise Net Proceeds). The Sponsor Warrants that are so forfeited and surrendered shall no longer constitute Incentive Warrants and shall be Surrendered Warrants.

 

Except for Grants to Incentive Grantees, the Sponsor may not transfer the Incentive Warrants to any other Person. All Incentive Warrants shall either be Granted to Incentive Grantees or surrendered and forfeited pursuant to the terms of the Sponsor Share Restriction Agreement.
