Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On November 14, 2022, Parabellum Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Parabellum”), announced that it executed a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), dated as of November 13, 2022, with EnOcean GmbH, a German private limited company incorporated under the laws of Germany (“EnOcean”), EnOcean Holdings B.V., a private company with limited liability incorporated under the Laws of the Netherlands and formed by certain shareholders of EnOcean (“Holdco”) and Artemis Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco (“Merger Sub”) (the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”). This Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) provides a summary of the Business Combination Agreement and the other agreements entered into (and certain agreements to be entered into) in connection with the Business Combination. The descriptions of these agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the terms and conditions of such agreements or the forms thereof, as applicable, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 2.1, 10.1 and 10.2 hereto and are incorporated by reference herein.

 

Business Combination Agreement

 

The below description of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the actual agreement, a copy of which is filed with this Current Report as Exhibit 2.1, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein will have the meanings given to them in the Business Combination Agreement. The Business Combination Agreement has been attached to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about Parabellum, EnOcean, Holdco or Merger Sub. In particular, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties by Parabellum, EnOcean, Holdco and Merger Sub contained in the Business Combination Agreement are qualified by information in the disclosure schedules provided by the parties in connection with the signing of the Business Combination Agreement. These disclosure schedules contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. Moreover, certain representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement were made as of a specified date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what might be viewed as material to investors, or may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties. Accordingly, the representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement are not necessarily characterizations of the actual state of facts about Parabellum, EnOcean, Holdco or Merger Sub at the time they were made or otherwise and should only be read in conjunction with the other information that Parabellum makes publicly available in reports, statements and other documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

 

 

 

The Merger

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Parabellum (the “Merger”), with Parabellum as the surviving company in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”), and after giving effect to the Merger, the Surviving Corporation will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco.

 

Immediately prior to the Merger, Parabellum’s Class B common stock (“Parabellum Class B Common Stock”) will automatically convert into Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Parabellum Class A Common Stock”).

 

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Merger Effective Time”), each issued and outstanding share of Parabellum Class A Common Stock (other than Parabellum common stock owned by Parabellum as treasury stock (collectively, the “Excluded Shares”)) will be automatically cancelled and extinguished and exchanged for one share of common stock, $0.0001 per share, in the Surviving Corporation (“Surviving Corporation Common Stock”) that is held in the account of a bank or trust company designated by Parabellum (the “Exchange Agent”), solely for the benefit of the holder of such share of Parabellum Class A Common Stock as of immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time. In accordance with the provisions of Section 2:94b of the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek), the Exchange Agent will contribute and transfer on behalf of such Parabellum stockholders to Holdco, as a contribution in kind (inbreng op aandelen anders dan in geld) each share of the Surviving Corporation Common Stock that were issued to the Exchange Agent solely for the account and benefit of such Parabellum stockholders, and, in consideration of this contribution in kind, Holdco will issue (uitgeven) to the Exchange Agent for the account and benefit of such Parabellum stockholders one ordinary share of Holdco with a nominal value of €0.16 per share (each a “Holdco Ordinary Share”) in respect of each share of the Surviving Corporation Common Stock so contributed, (such issuance, together with the Merger, the “Holdco-Parabellum Business Combination”). From and after the Merger Effective Time, the holder(s) of certificates, if any, evidencing ownership of Parabellum common stock or Parabellum common stock held in book-entry form issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time will cease to have any rights with respect to such shares except as otherwise provided for herein or under applicable Law.

 

Further, each warrant to purchase shares of Parabellum Class A Common Stock (“Parabellum Warrant”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time will be converted into a warrant that is exercisable for an equivalent number of Holdco Ordinary Shares on the same contractual terms and conditions as were in effect with respect to such Parabellum Warrant immediately prior to the effective time under the terms of the Warrant Agreement, dated September 27, 2021, by and between Parabellum and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Warrant Agent”) (the “Existing Warrant Agreement”), in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement (the “Holdco Warrants”).

 

The Exchange

 

At the Closing (as defined below), prior to giving effect to the Holdco-Parabellum Business Combination, pursuant to the Shareholder Undertaking (as defined below), and in accordance with the provisions of Section 2:204b of the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek), each holder (a “Company Shareholder”) of the ordinary shares of EnOcean (the “Company Ordinary Shares”) as of immediately prior to the Closing, will contribute each Company Ordinary Share held to Holdco, in exchange for the Company Per Share Consideration (as defined below) and, subject to vesting and forfeiture conditions described below, the Earnout Shares (as defined below) by, among other things, entering with Holdco into (i) a German Share Transfer Deed in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parabellum, pursuant to which each Company Shareholder will contribute, assign and transfer to Holdco the Company Ordinary Shares owned by such Company Shareholder and (ii) a Dutch Deed of Issue, under which each Company Ordinary Share issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing will be exchanged for such number of Holdco Ordinary Shares equal to the Company Per Share Consideration (the “Exchange”). The “Company Per Share Consideration” means, with respect to each Company Ordinary Share, a number of Holdco Ordinary Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio. The “Exchange Ratio” means (i)(a) $120,000,000 divided by (b) the Fully-Diluted Company Shares, divided by (ii) $10.00. The “Fully-Diluted Company Shares” means an amount equal to, without duplication, (i) the aggregate number of shares of Company Ordinary Shares that are issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Exchange on a fully-diluted basis plus (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Company Ordinary Shares issuable upon the full exercise, exchange or conversion of all options to purchase shares of Company Ordinary Shares that are outstanding as of immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time (the “Company Options”) that are outstanding as of immediately prior to the Exchange, calculated with respect to Company Options outstanding prior to the date of the Business Combination Agreement or issued on or after the date of the Business Combination Agreement and prior to Closing under the stock option plans of EnOcean, using the treasury stock method.

 

 

 

 

Each Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Exchange will become fully vested immediately prior to the Closing and will be converted at the Exchange into a fully vested option to purchase a number of shares of the applicable class of Holdco Ordinary Shares (such option, a “Holdco Option”) equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (x) the number of shares of the applicable class of Company Ordinary Shares subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Exchange and (y) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (A) the exercise price per share of such Company Option immediately prior to the Exchange divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio; provided, however, that the exercise price and the number of shares of the applicable class of Holdco Ordinary Shares underlying the Holdco Options will be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A and 424 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

Following the Exchange and prior to the Merger Effective Time, the legal form of Holdco will (i) be changed from a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) to a public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap), whereby Holdco and (ii) amend and restate the organizational documents of Holdco.

 

The Earnout Shares

 

After the Closing, the pre-closing Company Shareholders, including holders of any Company Option which will be converted into Holdco Options, (the “Shareholder Earnout Group”), will have the contingent right to receive additional Holdco Ordinary Shares within five business days after the occurrence of a Share Price Trigger (as defined below). Holdco will issue or caused to be issued an aggregate number of Holdco Ordinary Shares equal to 15% of the total number of Holdco Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after the Merger Effective Time to the Shareholder Earnout Group with respect to each trigger event, as such Holdco Ordinary Shares may be adjusted for any stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, reorganization, exchange, subdivision or combination (the “Earnout Shares”). The Earnout Shares will be allocated on a pro rata basis among the Shareholder Earnout Group. The Earnout Shares will be released and delivered to the Shareholder Earnout Group as follows:

 

(i)       30% of the Earnout Shares will be issued by Holdco to the members of the Shareholder Earnout Group on a pro rata basis if, on or prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing, the VWAP (as defined below) of the Holdco Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.50 per share for twenty of any thirty consecutive trading days commencing after the Closing on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), NYSE American stock exchange or Nasdaq stock exchange, as applicable (the “First Share Price Trigger”);

 

(ii)       30% of the Earnout Shares will be issued by Holdco to the members of the Shareholder Earnout Group on a pro rata basis if, on or prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing, the VWAP of shares of Holdco Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $15.00 per share for twenty of any thirty consecutive trading days commencing after the Closing on the NYSE, NYSE American stock exchange or Nasdaq stock exchange, as applicable (the “Second Share Price Trigger”);

 

(iii)      40% of the Earnout Shares will be issued by Holdco to the members of the Shareholder Earnout Group on a pro rata basis if, on or prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing, the VWAP of shares of Holdco Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $17.50 per share for twenty of any thirty consecutive trading days commencing after the Closing on Nasdaq, the NYSE, NYSE American stock exchange or Nasdaq stock exchange, as applicable (the “Third Share Price Trigger” and, collectively with the First Share Price Trigger and the Second Share Price Trigger, the “Share Price Triggers”); and

 

(iv)     if the conditions set forth in (i), (ii), or (iii) above have not been satisfied following the fifth anniversary of the Closing, any Earnout Shares remaining will be automatically cancelled and the members of the Shareholder Earnout Group not to have any right to receive such Earnout Shares or any benefit therefrom.

 

The Shareholder Earnout Group with respect to any Share Price Trigger will be entitled to receive Earnout Shares upon the occurrence of each applicable Share Price Trigger.

 

 

 

 

“VWAP” means, for any security as of any date(s), the dollar volume-weighted average price for such security on the principal securities exchange or securities market on which such security is then traded during the period beginning at 9:30:01 a.m., New York time, and ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York time, as reported by Bloomberg through its “HP” function (set to weighted average) or, if the foregoing does not apply, the dollar volume-weighted average price of such security in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board for such security during the period beginning at 9:30:01 a.m., New York time, and ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York time, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no dollar volume-weighted average price is reported for such security by Bloomberg for such hours, the average of the highest closing bid price and the lowest closing ask price of any of the market makers for such security as reported by OTC Markets Group Inc. If the VWAP cannot be calculated for such security on such date(s) on any of the foregoing bases, the VWAP of such security on such date(s) will be the fair market value per share on such date(s) as reasonably determined in good faith by a majority of the disinterested independent directors of the board of directors (or equivalent governing body) of Holdco at such time. The VWAP targets for the Holdco Ordinary Shares to achieve a Share Price Trigger and the number of shares of Holdco Ordinary Shares to be issued as Earnout Shares will be equitably adjusted for any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, or any similar event affecting the Holdco Ordinary Shares after the date of the Business Combination Agreement. Any fractional Earnout Shares that would otherwise be issuable to any member of the Shareholder Earnout Group will be rounded down to a whole share of Holdco Ordinary Share.

 

In the event that there is an agreement with respect to (a) any person or any group of persons acting together which would constitute a “group” for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act or any successor provisions thereto is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of Holdco representing more than 50% of the combined voting power of Holdco’s then outstanding voting securities, (b) there is consummated a merger or consolidation of Holdco with any other corporation or other entity, and, immediately after the consummation of such merger or consolidation, either (x) Holdco’s board of directors immediately prior to the merger or consolidation does not constitute at least a majority of the board of directors of the company surviving the merger or, if the surviving company is a subsidiary, the ultimate parent thereof, or (y) the voting securities of Holdco immediately prior to such merger or consolidation do not continue to represent or are not converted into more than 50% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the person resulting from such merger or consolidation or, if the surviving company is a subsidiary, the ultimate parent thereof, or (c) the shareholders of Holdco approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of Holdco or there is a consummated agreement or series of related agreements for the sale, lease or other disposition, directly or indirectly, by Holdco of all or substantially all of the assets of Holdco and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, other than such sale or other disposition by Holdco of all or substantially all of the assets of Holdco, its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to an entity at least fifty percent 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of which are owned by shareholders of Holdco in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of Holdco immediately prior to such sale (a “Holdco Sale”), entered into after the Closing and prior to the date that is five years following the Closing, then (i) if the per share value of the consideration to be received by the holders of Holdco Ordinary Shares in such Holdco Sale equals or exceeds the First Share Price Trigger and the First Share Price Trigger has not been previously achieved, then the First Share Price Trigger will be deemed to have been achieved, (ii) if the per share value of the consideration to be received by the holders of the Holdco Ordinary Shares in such Holdco Sale equals or exceeds the Second Share Price Trigger and the Second Share Price Trigger has not been previously achieved, then the Second Share Price Trigger will be deemed to have been achieved, and (iii) if the per share value of the consideration to be received by the holders of the Holdco Ordinary Shares in such Holdco Sale equals or exceeds the Third Share Price Trigger and the Third Share Price Trigger has not been previously achieved, then the Third Share Price Trigger will be deemed to have been achieved, and Holdco will issue the applicable amount of Earnout Shares on the date prior to the closing of such Holdco Sale (in each case, to the extent such Earnout Shares have not previously been issued); provided, that, if the consideration to be received by the holders of Holdco Ordinary Shares in such Holdco Sale includes non-cash consideration, the value of such consideration will be determined in good faith by the board of directors of Holdco.

Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements.

The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

There can be no assurance that future developments affecting EnOcean or Parabellum will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond the control of the parties) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political, and legal conditions; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the proposed transaction, including the risk that any regulatory approvals or the SEC’s declaration of the effectiveness of the F-4 Registration Statement are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the proposed transaction or that the approval of the requisite equity holders of Parabellum is not obtained; the ability of Holdco to meet NYSE listing standards; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction; risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to EnOcean; risks related to the rollout of EnOcean’s business and the timing of expected business milestones; the effects of competition on EnOcean’s business; the amount of redemption requests made by Parabellum’s stockholders; the ability of Parabellum or EnOcean to issue equity or equity-linked securities or obtain debt financing in connection with the proposed transaction or in the future; whether EnOcean will have sufficient capital upon the approval of the transactions to operate as anticipated.
