Item 1.01

Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.

 

First Amendment to the Business Combination Agreement

 

As previously disclosed, on May 31, 2023, Pegasus Digital Mobility Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company ("Pegasus"), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Business Combination Agreement"), by and among Pegasus, Gebr. SCHMID GmbH, a German limited liability company ("Schmid"), Pegasus Topco B.V., a Dutch private limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Pegasus ("TopCo") and Pegasus MergerSub Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of TopCo ("Merger Sub"). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning given to them in the Business Combination Agreement.

 

On September 26, 2023, Pegasus, Schmid, TopCo and Merger Sub entered into an amendment to the Business Combination Agreement (the "First Amendment to the Business Combination Agreement"), pursuant to which, among other things, the parties thereto have agreed to update certain aspects of the transaction structuring as outlined in further detail therein.

 

A copy of the First Amendment to the Business Combination Agreement is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated by reference, and the foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the First Amendment to the Business Combination Agreement.  

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

Additional Information

 

In connection with the proposed Business Combination, TopCo has filed with the SEC an F-4 Registration Statement, which includes a preliminary prospectus and preliminary proxy statement. Pegasus will mail a definitive proxy statement/final prospectus and other relevant documents to its shareholders. This communication is not a substitute for the F-4 Registration Statement, the definitive proxy statement/final prospectus or any other document that Pegasus will send to its shareholders in connection with the Business Combination. Investors and security holders of Pegasus are advised to read, when available, the definitive proxy statement/final prospectus in connection with Pegasus's solicitation of proxies for its extraordinary general meeting of shareholders to be held to approve the Business Combination (and related matters) because the proxy statement/prospectus contains important information about the Business Combination and the parties to the Business Combination. The definitive proxy statement/final prospectus will be mailed to shareholders of Pegasus as of a record date to be established for voting on the Business Combination. Shareholders will also be able to obtain copies of the definitive proxy statement/final prospectus, without charge, once available, at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Completion of the Business Combination is subject to approval by Pegasus shareholders, the F-4 Registration Statement being declared effective by the SEC and the satisfaction or waiver of other customary closing conditions identified in the Business Combination Agreement.

 

Participants in the Solicitation

 

Pegasus, Schmid, TopCo and Merger Sub and their respective directors, executive officers, other members of management, and employees, under SEC rules, may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies of Pegasus's shareholders in connection with the Business Combination. Investors and security holders may obtain more detailed information regarding the names and interests in the Business Combination of Pegasus's directors and officers in Pegasus's filings with the SEC, and such information and names of Schmid's directors and executive officers in the F-4 Registration Statement filed with the SEC by TopCo, which includes the proxy statement of Pegasus for the Business Combination.

 

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This communication includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Pegasus's and Schmid's actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates, and projections and, consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as "expect," "estimate," "project," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "proposed," "may," "will," "could," "should," "believes," "predicts," "potential," "continue," and similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, Pegasus's and Schmid's expectations with respect to future performance and anticipated financial impacts of the proposed Business Combination, the satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions to the proposed business combination, and the timing of the completion of the proposed Business Combination.

 

These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially, and potentially adversely, from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Most of these factors are outside Pegasus's and Schmid's control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (i) the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement; (ii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Pegasus, TopCo and/or Schmid following the announcement of the Business Combination Agreement and the Transactions; (iii) the inability to complete the proposed Business Combination, including due to failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of Pegasus, certain regulatory approvals, or the satisfaction of other conditions to closing in the Agreement; (iv) the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Agreement or could otherwise cause the transaction to fail to close; (v) the inability to obtain or maintain the listing of TopCo's securities on the NYSE following the proposed Business Combination; (vi) the risk that the proposed Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the proposed Business Combination; (vii) failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of Schmid to grow and manage growth profitably, and retain its key employees; (viii) costs related to the proposed Business Combination; (ix) changes in applicable laws or regulations; and (x) the possibility that Schmid, Pegasus or TopCo may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors. The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Additional information concerning certain of these and other risk factors is contained in Pegasus's most recent filings with the SEC and in the Form F-4 Registration Statement filed by TopCo in connection with the proposed Business Combination. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning Pegasus, Schmid, TopCo, the transactions described herein or other matters, and attributable to Pegasus, Schmid, TopCo or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Each of Pegasus, Schmid and TopCo expressly disclaims any obligations or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in their expectations with respect to events, conditions, or circumstances on which any statement is based, except as required by law.

 

No Offer or Solicitation

 

This communication is for informational purposes only and is neither an offer to purchase, sell or exchange nor a solicitation of an offer to sell, subscribe for or buy or exchange any securities or the solicitation of any vote in any jurisdiction pursuant to the proposed Business Combination or otherwise, nor will there be any sale, issuance or transfer or securities in any jurisdiction in contravention of applicable law. No offer of securities will be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act.

WHEREAS, the Parties desire that, prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), the Company Shareholders will purchase the sole share in the capital of TopCo from Pegasus against payment of the nominal value of the sole share, being an amount of EUR 0.01 (the "Purchase").

 

WHEREAS, the Parties desire that the Exchange (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) and the change in legal form of TopCo be effective after the Purchase and prior to the Effective Time (rather than after the Effective Time).

 

WHEREAS, each of the Parties hereto intends that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (A) the transfer of property by the Company Shareholders to TopCo in consideration for the issuance of TopCo Ordinary Shares, taken together with the Merger, will be treated as part of an integrated transaction that qualifies as a contribution pursuant to Section 351 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations, and (B) TopCo will generally be treated as a corporation under Section 367(a) of the Code with respect to each transfer of property thereto in connection with such transactions.

 

WHEREAS, the Parties further desire that Pegasus will be designated the Surviving Company (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) rather than Merger Sub. As such, the Parties agree to amend the Plan of Merger (Exhibit H) to the Business Combination Agreement as described herein.

 

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements and understandings herein contained, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Amendment, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

(n)

New Clause 13 is added to the end of the Business Combination Agreement as follows (specific amended language is included in underlined and bolded text below solely for presentation purposes):

 

"13. INTENDED TAX TREATMENT

 

The Parties intend that for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (a) the Exchange, taken together with the Merger, will be treated as part of an integrated transaction that qualifies as a contribution pursuant to Section 351 of the Code, and (b) TopCo will be treated as a corporation under Section 367(a) of the Code with respect to each transfer of property thereto in connection with such transactions (other than a transfer by a shareholder that is a "United States person" that owns directly or by attribution five percent or more of TopCo, by vote or by value as determined under Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-3(b)(1)(i) and that does not enter into a five-year gain recognition agreement in the form provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-8). Each Party shall report the transactions hereunder consistently with the foregoing intended tax treatment unless otherwise required pursuant to a "determination" within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code. The Parties further acknowledge that the Merger may also independently qualify as a "reorganization" under Section 368(a) of the Code, and in such event, this Agreement shall constitute a "plan of reorganization" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a)."

 

 

(o)

Exhibit H to the Business Combination Agreement (the Plan of Merger), shall be replaced in its entirety by the amended Plan of Merger attached as Exhibit 1 hereto.

 

(p)

For the avoidance of doubt, as the context may require, for purposes of descriptions of the Surviving Company in the Business Combination Agreement and exhibits thereto, relevant references to Merger Sub shall be replaced with references to Pegasus, in accordance with the intentions outlined in this Amendment. Additionally, any further descriptions relating to steps to effect the Merger, Business Combination and Closing shall be construed in accordance with this Amendment and Exhibit 1 hereto.

 

2.

Miscellaneous. The terms, conditions and provisions of the Business Combination Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, remain in full force and effect. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Party under the Business Combination Agreement, nor constitute a waiver or amendment of any provision of the Business Combination Agreement.

 

The Parties further agree that should the risk of a material adverse tax consequence develop or become known as a result of the currently envisioned transaction structure to one or more of the Parties, they will in good faith negotiate any further amendments to the Business Combination Agreement that may be needed in order to mitigate such consequence.

 

This Amendment shall be governed by, and otherwise construed in accordance with, the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, as though the other provisions of this Amendment were set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any proceeding or Actions arising out of or relating to this Amendment shall be heard and determined exclusively in any state or federal court located in New York, New York (or in any appellate court therefrom) and each of the parties irrevocably (a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such proceeding or Action, (b) waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction, venue or to convenience of forum, (c) agrees that all claims in respect of the proceeding or Action shall be heard and determined only in any such court and (d) agrees not to bring any proceeding or Action arising out of or relating to this Amendment or the transactions contemplated hereby in any other court.

 

This Amendment may be executed in counterparts (including by means of facsimile or scanned and emailed signature pages), any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one Party, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
