Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

In connection with the previously announced Business Combination Agreement (the “BCA”), dated November 13, 2022, by and among Parabellum Acquisition Corp. (“Parabellum”), EnOcean GmbH (“EnOcean”), EnOcean Holdings, B.V. (“Holdco”), and Artemis Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), on December 20, 2022, the shareholders of EnOcean (who will receive Holdco’s equity) prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the BCA (the “Business Combination”) holding together more than 95% of the shares in EnOcean (each a “Shareholder”) entered into an irrevocable shareholder undertaking (the “Shareholder Undertaking”) by and among Parabellum, EnOcean, Holdco and each Shareholder. Pursuant to the Shareholder Undertaking, each Shareholder who is a party to the Shareholder Undertaking (i) granted one or more powers of attorney permitting and directing the respective authorized persons identified in such powers of attorney and the proxyholders under such power(s) of attorney to execute the documents relating to the Business Combination to which any Shareholder is or will be a party (including Dutch deeds of issue and German share transfer deeds, among other documents), (ii) undertook to take all necessary or desirable actions in connection with the transactions contemplated by the BCA and other transaction documents (including to fully support and implement the pre-closing transactions necessary for the closing of the Business Combination), (iii) transfers to Holdco (who accepts such transfer) any and all shares of EnOcean the respective Shareholder holds now or at the time of the closing of the Business Combination subject to the sole condition precedent that the Dutch deed of issue for such Shareholder has been notarized, and (iv) agreed to certain covenants to support the transactions contemplated by the BCA and other transaction documents (including restrictions on the sale, disposition or transfer of the Shareholders’ holdings in EnOcean, subject to specified exceptions), in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Shareholders’ Undertakings.

 

A copy of the Shareholder Undertaking is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto to the full text of the Shareholder Undertaking.

 

Additional Information and Where to Find It

 

In connection with the proposed Business Combination, Holdco intends to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form F-4, which will include a preliminary proxy statement to be distributed to holders of Parabellum’s Class A common stock in connection with Parabellum’s solicitation of proxies for the vote by Parabellum’s stockholders with respect to the Business Combination and other matters as described in the F-4 Registration Statement and a prospectus relating to the offer of the securities to be issued to Parabellum’s stockholders in connection with the Business Combination. After the F-4 Registration Statement has been filed and declared effective, Parabellum will mail a definitive proxy statement/prospectus, when available, to its stockholders. Investors and security holders and other interested parties are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus, any amendments thereto and any other documents filed with the SEC carefully and in their entirety when they become available because they will contain important information about Parabellum, EnOcean and the Business Combination.

 

 

Stockholders of Parabellum may also obtain a copy of the preliminary or definitive proxy statement/prospectus, once available, as well as other documents filed with the SEC, without charge, at the SEC’s website located at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to Parabellum Acquisition Corp., 3811 Turtle Creek Blvd., Suite 2125, Dallas, Texas, or by telephone at (972) 591-8349.

 

Participants in the Solicitation

 

EnOcean and Parabellum and their respective directors and executive officers and other persons may be deemed to be participants in the solicitations of proxies from Parabellum’s stockholders in respect of the proposed Business Combination and related transactions. Information regarding Parabellum’s directors and executive officers is available in its final prospectus filed with the SEC under Rule 424(b)(4) on September 29, 2021. Additional information regarding the participants in the proxy solicitation and a description of their direct and indirect interests will be contained in the preliminary and definitive proxy statements/prospectus related to the proposed business combinations and related transactions when it becomes available, and which can be obtained free of charge from the sources indicated above.

 

Forward-Looking Statements:

 

This Current Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements regarding the proposed business combination and other transactions described herein and the expected timing of completion thereof, Parabellum, and Parabellum’s management team’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions, plans, prospects or strategies thereto and the future business plans of EnOcean and Parabellum. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are 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. The forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report are based on Parabellum’s current expectations and beliefs of the management of Parabellum and/or EnOcean in light of their respective experience and their perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments and their potential effects on EnOcean and Parabellum as well as other factors they believe are appropriate in the circumstances. 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. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of Parabellum’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ are discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” and in other sections of Parabellum’s filings with the SEC, and in Parabellum’s current and periodic reports filed or furnished from time to time with the SEC. All forward-looking statements in this Current Report are made as of the date hereof, based on information available to Parabellum and/or EnOcean as of the date hereof, and Parabellum and/or EnOcean assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

 

 

No Offer or Solicitation

 

This Current Report shall not constitute a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the Business Combination. This Current Report shall also not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any states or jurisdictions in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
