Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On June 15, 2023, Coliseum Acquisition Corp., a Cayman islands exempted company (the “Company”), Coliseum Acquisition Sponsor LLC (“Sponsor”) and Berto LLC (the “Acquirer”) entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which Sponsor has agreed to sell to Acquirer, and Acquirer has agreed to purchase from Sponsor an aggregate of (i) 2,625,000 Class B ordinary shares, $0.001 par value per share (the “Class B ordinary shares”) and (ii) 2,257,500 private placement warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) held by Sponsor (collectively, the “Transferred Securities”) for an aggregate purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) of $1.00 plus Acquirer’s agreement to advance up to $100,000 to the Company each month in connection with the Extension (as defined below) (the “Transaction”).

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, among other things:

 

·Effective on the closing date of the Transaction, the Company’s current officers will resign from the Company and the Company will appoint the following individual designated by Acquirer in the position listed below:

 

Harry L. You, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer

 

·Effective on the closing date of the Transaction, Mr. Jason Stein and Mr. Daniel Haimovic will resign from the Company’s board of directors and they will be replaced by at least one (1) individual designated by Acquirer (the “New Director”) to be appointed by the remaining directors as of the closing date of the Transaction;

 

·effective following the closing date of the Transaction, and upon the expiration of certain waiting periods contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the incumbent five (5) independent directors of the Company will resign and be replaced by individuals designated by Acquirer to be appointed by the New Director to the Company’s board of directors.

 

 

 

 

The closing of the Transaction is conditioned upon, among other things, (i) continued listing of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, warrants and units on Nasdaq; (ii) the Company receiving the requisite shareholders’ approval for the Extension; and (iii) at least 2,200,000 Class A ordinary shares shall not have been redeemed in connection with the Meeting (defined below).

 

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties, including, among others, with respect to corporate organization, corporate authority, and compliance with applicable laws. The representations and warranties of each party set forth in the Purchase Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the other parties to the Purchase Agreement, and investors are not third-party beneficiaries of the Purchase Agreement. In addition, such representations and warranties (i) are subject to materiality and other qualifications contained in the Purchase Agreement, which may differ from what may be viewed as material by investors, (ii) were made only as of the date of the Purchase Agreement or such other date as is specified in the Purchase Agreement, and (iii) may have been included in the Purchase Agreement for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Accordingly, the Purchase Agreement is included with this filing only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Purchase Agreement, and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding any of the parties or their respective businesses.

 

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of such document, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and which is incorporated herein by reference.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements made in this Current Report are “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used in this Current Report, the words “estimates,” “projected,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “forecasts,” “plans,” “intends,” “believes,” “seeks,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “future,” “propose” and variations of these words or similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, conditions or results, and involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside the Company’s control, that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Important factors, among others, that may affect actual results or outcomes include: the risk that approval of the Company’s shareholders for the Extension is not obtained; the inability of the Company to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to an initial business combination within the time provided in the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association; the level of redemptions made by the Company’s shareholders in connection with the Extension and its impact on the amount of funds available in the Company’s trust account to complete an initial business combination; and those factors discussed in the Annual Report under the heading “Risk Factors,” and other documents of the Company filed, or to be filed, with the SEC. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
