Second Amendment to Business Combination Agreement

As previously disclosed by Investcorp Europe Acquisition Corp I, a Cayman Islands exempted company incorporated with limited liability (the “Company”), under Item 1.01 of its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 26, 2023, the Company entered into a business combination agreement, dated April 25, 2023 (the “Original Business Combination Agreement”), with OpSec Holdings, a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability (“Pubco”), Opal Merger Sub I, a Cayman Islands exempted company incorporated with limited liability and wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco, Opal Merger Sub II, a Cayman Islands exempted company incorporated with limited liability and wholly-owned Subsidiary of Pubco, Orca Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company incorporated with limited liability (“OpSec”), Orca Midco Limited, a private limited company incorporated under the Laws of England and Wales (“Orca Midco”), Orca Bidco Limited, a private limited company incorporated under the Laws of England and Wales and a subsidiary of OpSec (“Orca Bidco”), Investcorp Technology Secondary Fund 2018, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (“ITSF”), and Mill Reef Capital Fund ScS, a limited partnership (société en commandite simple) organized under the laws of Luxembourg (“Mill Reef”, and together with ITSF, the “OpSec Shareholders”), which Original Business Combination Agreement was amended by that certain First Amendment to the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of December 14, 2023 (the “First BCA Amendment”) with Pubco, OpSec and the OpSec Shareholders, which First BCA Amendment was previously disclosed by the Company under Item 1.01 of its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 14, 2023. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Business Combination Agreement.

On March 10, 2024, the Company entered into that certain Second Amendment to the Business Combination Agreement (the “Second BCA Amendment” and, the Original Business Combination Agreement, as amended by the First BCA Amendment and the Second BCA Amendment, the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Pubco, OpSec and the OpSec Shareholders. The Second BCA Amendment was unanimously approved by the Company’s board of directors (the “Company Board”) based upon the unanimous recommendation of a special committee of independent directors (the “Special Committee”).

The Second BCA Amendment is being entered into by the Company, Pubco, OpSec and the OpSec Shareholders in connection with, and concurrently with, the execution of a stock purchase agreement (the “Divestiture Agreement”) by Orca Midco and CA-MC Acquisition UK Ltd. (the “Divestiture Buyer”), pursuant to which, among other things, Orca Midco will sell, and the Divestiture Buyer will purchase, all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of Orca Bidco (the “Divestiture”). Prior to the execution of the Divestiture Agreement, OpSec effected a reorganization of its subsidiaries pursuant to which all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of Orca Holding Denmark APS (“Orca Denmark”), the parent entity of Zacco A/S (“Zacco”), became directly owned by Orca Midco (the “Reorganization”). As a result of the Reorganization, the Divestiture will effect a sale to the Divestiture Buyer of only the OpSec business which is conducted through Orca Bidco and its subsidiaries (the “Divested Companies”), with the Zacco business being retained by Orca Midco. The Company is currently evaluating whether it is in the best interests of its shareholders to continue to pursue the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Transactions”) after the consummation of the Divesture, as the consummation of the Transactions following the consummation of the Divestiture will result in the Company effecting a business combination with the Zacco business. In connection with the Divestiture Agreement and the Second BCA Amendment, the Company entered into a letter agreement, dated March 10, 2024 (the “Consent”), with Pubco, OpSec, the OpSec Shareholders, and, solely for the purpose of Sections 1, 3 and 4 through 10 of the Consent, Crane NXT, Co., a Delaware corporation (“NXT”), pursuant to which the Company consented to, among other things, OpSec effecting the Reorganization and Orca Midco entering into the Divesture Agreement and consummating the Divestiture. Pursuant to the Consent, the Company also releases, relinquishes and discharges any and all existing or potential claims, causes of action and damages (i) against NXT and its affiliates solely in respect of matters relating to the Divestiture arising or occurring prior to the execution of the Divestiture Agreement, and (ii) if the Divestiture is consummated, against the Divested Companies, solely in respect of matters related to the Reorganization, the Divestiture, the Letter Agreement (as defined in the Consent) and the Business Combination Agreement.

In connection with the Reorganization and the Divestiture, the Second BCA Amendment provides for, among other things, the following amendments to be made to the Business Combination Agreement.

Divestiture Proceeds

If the Divestiture is consummated prior to the Second Merger Closing, then concurrently with the consummation of the Divestiture, Orca Midco shall cause the net proceeds of the Divestiture (the “Divestiture Proceeds”) to be deposited into a third-party escrow account (the “Divestiture Proceeds Escrow Account”) with an escrow agent reasonably acceptable to the Company. Such Divestiture Proceeds shall be held in the Divestiture Proceeds Escrow Account pursuant to an escrow agreement to be entered into by and among Orca Midco, Pubco, the Company and the escrow agent, in form and substance acceptable to the Company (the “Divestiture Proceeds Escrow Agreement”), such escrow agent holding such funds as nominee of and for the benefit of Orca Midco, the Company or Pubco, as applicable, subject always to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and the Divestiture Proceeds Escrow Agreement. The Divestiture Proceeds shall, and the Divestiture Proceeds Escrow Agreement shall provide that the Divestiture

Proceeds shall, be released from escrow and payable to (a) Pubco upon the Second Merger Closing, (b) the Company upon certain termination events as described further in the section below entitled “Termination” or (c) Orca Midco (i) upon an amount becoming due and payable by Orca Midco in accordance with the terms of the Divestiture Agreement, with such amount being subject to the review and reasonable confirmation of the Company, or (ii) in connection with a Proceeds Advance (as defined below) as described further in the section below entitled “Proceeds Advance”. The Company is a third-party beneficiary of the provisions of the Divestiture Agreement that give effect to the foregoing.

If the funds from the Divestiture Proceeds Escrow Account are released to Pubco, Pubco will use such funds to (a) promptly pay (or cause to be promptly paid) all of the Company’s Expenses, and (b) within 14 days following the Second Merger Closing, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and subject to the determination of the Pubco Board that it is in the best interests of the holders of Pubco Ordinary Shares, make a dividend to all holders of Pubco Ordinary Shares in such amount as determined by the Pubco Board, which such dividend shall be paid in cash or, at the election of the applicable holder of such Pubco Ordinary Shares, in kind in Pubco Ordinary Shares. If declared, such dividend shall not be less than an amount as is necessary to enable ITSF to receive dividends in an amount which is, in the aggregate, equal to amount of any Proceeds Advance. In lieu of a dividend, the Pubco Board may also approve and effect a tender offer, repurchase of shares or other similar process by which the holders of Pubco Ordinary Shares receive the same economic benefit (including as regards the receipt of cash proceeds) as if a dividend had been declared.

Divestiture Transition Matters

Following the date of the Divestiture Agreement and prior to the consummation of the Divestiture, Orca Midco and the Divestiture Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate and enter into, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, a transition services agreement in the form appended to the Divestiture Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, Orca Midco and its Subsidiaries (including the Zacco Companies, but excluding the Divested Companies), on the one hand, and the Divestiture Buyer and the Divested Companies, on the other hand, shall provide certain transitional services to one another from and after the Divestiture Closing on the terms and conditions set forth therein. The Company is a third-party beneficiary of the provisions of the Divestiture Agreement that give effect to the foregoing.

Prior to the consummation of the Divestiture, OpSec shall cause Orca Midco to negotiate and enter into, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, a transition services agreement, side letter or other agreement with each of Selva Selvaratnam and Beverly Dew pursuant to which, from and after the Divestiture Closing, each of them shall render all such services to Orca Midco and/or the Zacco Companies as shall be reasonably agreed between Orca Midco and each of Selva Selvaratnam and Beverly Dew, including providing support reasonably necessary to complete the Transactions.

Fairness Opinion

Following the execution of the Second BCA Amendment, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from an independent valuation firm a customary opinion that the Exchange Ratio, after giving effect to the consummation of the Divestiture and the consummation of the Transactions, is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company’s shareholders holding SPAC Class A Shares (other than Sponsor) (the “Fairness Opinion”).

In the event that the Company is unable to obtain the Fairness Opinion, (a) the number of Exchange Shares issuable to the OpSec Shareholders at the Share Contribution Closing and (b) the number of Sponsor’s SPAC Class B Shares subject to the Share Cancellation shall be adjusted, in each case, to reflect an enterprise value (on a debt free, cash free basis) of the Zacco Companies of $160,000,000 (subject to an increase or decrease by up to $16,000,000 to reflect the enterprise value stated in the Fairness Opinion); provided, that (i) any adjustments made pursuant to the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) are made pro rata and only to the extent necessary to enable the independent valuation firm to deliver the Fairness Opinion, and (ii) for the purposes of clause (b), all SPAC Class B Shares shall be treated as fully vested.

Representations and Warranties; Covenants

The Second BCA Amendment adds certain representations and warranties with respect to Zacco and its subsidiaries, including with respect to (a) its material contracts, (b) its ownership of intellectual property, (c) its top customers and suppliers and (d) the sufficiency of the assets of Zacco and its subsidiaries for the operation of the Zacco business. The Second BCA Amendment also requires OpSec to deliver a supplement to their disclosure schedules within 14 days of the execution of the Second BCA Amendment, which supplement will provide additional disclosures regarding the Zacco business.

The Second BCA Amendment also added certain covenants regarding the operation of the Zacco business between the signing of the Second BCA Amendment and the consummation of the Transactions. Additionally, the covenants regarding the operation of OpSec and its subsidiaries have been amended to permit the Divestiture in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Divestiture Agreement. Furthermore, OpSec will be required to deliver, as soon as reasonably practicable following the execution of the Second BCA Amendment, to Pubco and the Company (a) audited financial statements of the Zacco business for fiscal years 2022 and 2023 and (b) pro forma financial statements of OpSec reflecting the acquisition of the Zacco business and the Divestiture.

The Second BCA Amendment also requires the Company to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the approval of the Company’s shareholders to approve an extension of the period of time that the Company is afforded under its organizational documents to consummate a business combination from June 17, 2024 to December 17, 2024. To the extent such extension is approved, December 17, 2024 will automatically become the new the date upon which either the Company or OpSec may terminate the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof in the event that the Transactions have not yet been consummated (the “Outside Date”).

Termination

The Second BCA Amendment adds a new right to terminate the Business Combination Agreement in favor of the Company in the event that (a) the Company is unable to obtain the Fairness Opinion or (b) the Special Committee has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and other advisors, that the consummation of the Transactions following the consummation of the Divestiture is not in the best interests of the Company and the Company’s shareholders holding SPAC Class A Shares (other than Sponsor) in accordance with the Cayman Companies Act. Such termination right may only be exercised by the Company within the two week period following the consummation of the Divesture (the “Post-Divestiture Termination Period”).

The Second BCA Amendment also requires that certain amounts be paid by OpSec to the Company upon certain terminations of the Business Combination Agreement which amounts must be paid upon the earlier of (a) the consummation of the Divestiture and (b) the Outside Date.

The amounts payable to the Company and the termination events triggering their payment are: (a) upon a termination by the Company or OpSec due to the failure of the Transactions to be consummated by the Outside Date, (i) $30,000,000 if such termination occurs during the Post-Divestiture Termination Period, and (ii) $25,000,000 if such termination occurs at any other time, in each case, so long as the Company is not the cause of such failure; (b) upon a termination by the Company or OpSec due to a governmental order that permanently prohibits the consummation of the Transactions, (i) $30,000,000 if such termination occurs during the Post-Divestiture Termination Period, and (ii) $25,000,000 if such termination occurs at any other time, in each case, so long as the Company is not the cause of such governmental order; (c) upon a termination by the Company due to a material breach of the Business Combination Agreement by OpSec or the OpSec Shareholders, $30,000,000 (or, alternatively, the Company may initiate an action against OpSec and/or the OpSec Shareholders to seek damages); and (d) upon a termination by the Company due to either (i) the inability of the Company to obtain the Fairness Opinion or (ii) a good faith determination by the Special Committee, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and other advisors, that the consummation of the Transactions following the consummation of the Divestiture is not in the best interests of the Company and the Company’s shareholders holding SPAC Class A Shares (other than Sponsor) in accordance with the Cayman Companies Act, $30,000,000. Except for any amounts payable to the Company described in clause (d) above, all termination amounts payable to the Company shall be due and payable when such amounts have been (A) agreed in writing by the Company and OpSec or (B) determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Proceeds Advance

In the event that the Divestiture has been consummated and the Transactions have not been consummated by August 26, 2024, Orca Midco shall be provided an advance from the Divestiture Proceeds held in the Divestiture Proceeds Escrow Account (a “Proceeds Advance”) pursuant to a promissory note in form and substance acceptable to the Company in the principal amount of $73,800,000 on the same terms, structure and conditions, including, but not limited to, interest rate, security and guarantees, as ITSF’s current facility (the “Promissory Note”) to enable ITSF to satisfy its obligations under such facility for which payment will have been triggered by the consummation of the Divestiture. Once the Transactions have been consummated, the outstanding balance under the Promissory Note will be set off against any shareholder distributions made by Pubco which would otherwise have been payable to ITSF.

Conversion of Original SPAC Class B Shares

The Second BCA Amendment provides for the conversion of the Original Company Class B Shares into SPAC Class A Shares, which occurred on January 2, 2024.

Exhibit 99.1

Investcorp Europe Acquisition Corp I Amends Business Combination Agreement Following Divestiture of OpSec Security

OpSec Security to be acquired by Crane NXT for $270 million and Zacco to become stand-alone business

Investcorp Europe’s Board of Directors evaluating amended BCA to consider merger with Zacco and intends to seek deadline extension to complete initial business combination

NEW YORK – March 11, 2024 – Investcorp Europe Acquisition Corp I (Nasdaq: IVCB) (“Investcorp Europe”), a special purpose acquisition company, today announced an amendment to its previously announced business combination agreement (“BCA”), in connection with entry into an agreement for the sale of the OpSec Security business (“OpSec”) to Crane NXT, Co. for $270 million in cash.

The transactions contemplated by the BCA have been restructured to effectuate the divestiture of the OpSec business and the separation of the Zacco line of business, a leading intellectual property management business headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark, that was acquired by OpSec in April 2023. Since it was founded around 150 years ago, Zacco has pioneered an innovative approach to developing, managing, and protecting IP and intangible value, with its lifecycle approach to IP assets and its innovative IP, digital brand, and digital trust services. The Board of Directors of Investcorp Europe (“Board”) is evaluating if the completion of an amended BCA to merge with Zacco is in the best interest of shareholders. In order to make a recommendation to shareholders, the Board is conducting diligence on the Zacco business, will seek a fairness opinion, and will take other actions as needed. In the event the Board is unable to make such recommendation, the amended terms of the BCA provide for the ability of Investcorp Europe to terminate the BCA and receive a termination amount (as discussed below). The closing of the OpSec divestiture is expected to occur in Q2 2024. The closing of the OpSec divestiture and the closing of the BCA transactions are not cross-conditioned on one another. If the OpSec divestiture is terminated, and the amended BCA is not terminated, the BCA transactions with OpSec and Zacco would proceed as originally contemplated.

“While we were working diligently to complete the BCA, OpSec had an opportunity to be acquired at what we believe is an attractive valuation. This all-cash transaction provides Investcorp Europe shareholders the ability to realize value from OpSec as we assess an amended BCA to potentially combine with Zacco,” said Hazem Ben-Gacem, Chairman of Investcorp Europe and also a Co-CEO at Investcorp Holdings B.S.C. (c).

The net proceeds from the OpSec divestiture will be held in escrow and will be released from escrow upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the BCA or upon a termination of the BCA. The amended terms of the BCA also provide that in the event of a termination of the BCA, certain termination amounts would be payable to Investcorp Europe upon the earlier of the closing of the OpSec divestiture or the outside date (which, if approved by IVC Europe shareholders as discussed below, will be December 17, 2024). It is intended that a portion of such termination amounts would be used to pay expenses incurred by Investcorp Europe and a portion would be shared with the public shareholders of IVC Europe.

Additional information about the OpSec divestiture and the amendment to the BCA will be provided in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by Investcorp Europe with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and will be available at www.sec.gov.

Investcorp Europe intends to seek shareholder approval of a deadline extension from June 17, 2024 to December 17, 2024 to complete an initial business combination.
