Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On January 6, 2023, Newcourt Acquisition Corp (the “Company”) held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “EGM”) for the purpose of considering and voting on the Charter Amendment and the Trust Agreement Amendment (each as defined below) and, if presented, the proposal to adjourn the EGM to a later date.

 

Charter Amendment

 

At the EGM, the shareholders of the Company approved an amendment (the “Charter Amendment”) to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination for an initial three (3) months from January 22, 2023 to April 22, 2023 and up to three (3) times for an additional one (1) month each time from April 22, 2023 to July 22, 2023 (which is 21 months from the closing of our IPO). Under Cayman Islands law, the Charter Amendment took effect upon approval by the shareholders. The Company plans to file the Charter Amendment with the Cayman Islands General Registry within 15 days of the EGM.

 

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Charter Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Trust Agreement Amendment

 

At the EGM, the shareholders of the Company also approved the amendment to the Company’s investment management trust agreement, dated as of October 19, 2021, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trust Agreement Amendment”). Pursuant to the Trust Agreement Amendment, the Company will deposit into the Company’s trust account (the “Trust Account”), (i) as soon as practicable after the effective date of the Trust Agreement Amendment, for the initial three-month extension, the lesser of (a) $247,500 and (b) $0.165 for each Class A ordinary share outstanding after giving effect to the redemption, and (ii) for each additional one-month extension, the lesser of (a) $82,500 and (b) $0.055 for each Class A ordinary share outstanding after giving effect to the redemption.

 

The foregoing description of the Trust Agreement Amendment is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Trust Agreement Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

 

In connection with the Trust Agreement Amendment, Newcourt SPAC Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”) has agreed to make available to the Company an aggregate amount of up to US$495,000, pursuant to a promissory note in favor of the Sponsor (the “January 2023 Note”). The January 2023 Note is non-convertible and bears no interest, and the principal balance is payable by the Company on the Maturity Date, as defined in the January 2023 Note. The issuance of the January 2023 Note was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the January 2023 Note, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year

 

The information disclosed in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is herein incorporated by reference.

 

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

 

On January 6, 2023, the Company held the EGM for the purposes of considering and voting upon the Charter Amendment, the Trust Agreement Amendment and, if presented, the proposal to adjourn the EGM to a later date. As of the record date of December 5, 2022, there were a total of 32,675,000 ordinary shares, including 26,140,000 Class A ordinary shares and 6,611,500 Class B ordinary shares, issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the EGM. There were 27,099,656 ordinary shares present at the EGM in person or represented by proxy, or approximately 82.94% of the total shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the EGM, representing a quorum.

 

 

 

 

The Charter Amendment was approved by a special resolution of the Company’s shareholders, and received the following votes:

 

For  Against  Abstain
27,099,654  2  0

 

The Trust Agreement Amendment was approved by ordinary resolution of the Company’s shareholders, and received the following votes:

 

For  Against  Abstain
27,099,654  2  0

 

The adjournment proposal was not presented to the stockholders because there were sufficient votes to approve the Charter Amendment and the Trust Agreement Amendment.

 

In connection with the EGM, shareholders holding 23,497,468 ordinary shares (the “public shares”) exercised their right to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, approximately $247. million (approximately $10.35 per public share) will be removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders and approximately $15.55 million will remain in the Trust Account. Following redemptions, the Company will have 1,502,532 public shares outstanding.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE

AMENDED AND RESTATED MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

OF

NEWCOURT ACQUISITION CORP

 

Extension Amendment Proposal

 

“RESOLVED, as a special resolution, that the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company be amended by the deletion of the existing Article 49.7 and Article 49.8 in their entirety and the insertion of the following language in its place:

 

49.7The Company has until 15 months from the closing of the IPO to consummate a Business Combination, provided however that if the Directors anticipate that the Company may not be able to consummate a Business Combination within 15 months of the closing of the IPO, the Company may, at the request of the Sponsor, extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination up to four (4) times, as follows: (i) one (1) time for an additional three (3) months from January 22, 2023 to April 22, 2023, followed by (ii) three (3) times for an additional one (1) month each time from April 22, 2023 to July 22, 2023 (for a total of up to 21 months to complete a Business Combination), subject to the Sponsor depositing additional funds into the Trust Account prior to the applicable deadline in accordance with terms as set out in the investment management trust agreement, dated as of October 19, 2021 (the “Trust Agreement”), by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company and referred to in the Registration Statement. In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination by 15 months after the closing of the IPO or 21 months from the date of the closing of the IPO (subject in the latter case to valid extensions having been made in each case) or such later time as the Members may approve in accordance with the Articles), the Company shall:

 

(a)cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up;

 

(b)as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-Share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company (less taxes payable

 

and up to US$100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then Public Shares in issue, which redemption will completely extinguish public Members’ rights as Members (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and

 

(c)promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining Members and the Directors, liquidate and dissolve,

 

subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of Applicable Law.

 

49.8In the event that any amendment is made to the Articles:

 

(a)to modify the substance or timing of the Company's obligation to allow redemption in connection with a Business Combination or redeem 100 per cent of the Public Shares if the Company does not consummate a Business Combination within 15 months after the closing of the IPO or 21 months from the date of the closing of the IPO pursuant to Article 49.7 (subject in the latter case to valid extensions having been made in each case), in the event the Company has elected to extend the amount of time to complete a Business Combination for three months, or such later time as the Members may approve in accordance with the Articles; or

 

(b)with respect to any other provision relating to Members’ rights or pre-Business Combination activity,

 

each holder of Public Shares who is not the Sponsor, a Founder, Officer or Director shall be provided with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon the approval or effectiveness of any such amendment at a per-Share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares. The Company’s ability to provide such redemption in this Article is subject to the Redemption Limitation.”

 

 

 

Exhibit 10.1

 

AMENDMENT TO THE

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT TRUST AGREEMENT

 

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”), dated as of January 6, 2023, to the Investment Management Trust Agreement (as defined below) is made by and between Newcourt Acquisition Corp (the “Company”) and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee (“Trustee”). All terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Trust Agreement.

 

WHEREAS, the Company and the Trustee entered into an Investment Management Trust Agreement dated as of October 19, 2021 (the “Trust Agreement”);

 

WHEREAS, Section 1(i) of the Trust Agreement sets forth the terms that govern the liquidation of the Trust Account under the circumstances described therein;

 

WHEREAS, at an extraordinary general meeting of the Company held on January 6, 2022 (the “EGM”), the Company’s shareholders approved (A) a proposal to extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination for an initial three (3) months from January 22, 2023 to April 22, 2023 and up to three (3) times for an additional one (1) month each time from April 22, 2023 to July 22, 2023 (which extension and later date we refer to as the “Extension” and the “Extended Date,” respectively) by amending the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association; and (B) a proposal to amend the Trust Agreement to allow the Company to extend the Combination Period for an initial three (3) months from January 22, 2023 to April 22, 2023 and up to three (3) times for an additional one (1) month each time from April 22, 2023 to July 22, 2023 by depositing into the trust account, (i) as soon as practicable after the effective date of the amendment of the Trust Agreement, for the initial three-month extension, the lesser of (a) $247,500 and (b) $0.165 for each Class A ordinary share outstanding (the “First Extension Payment”) after taking into account any redemptions in connection with the solicitation of such shareholder approval at the EGM, and (ii) for each additional one-month extension, the lesser of (a) $82,500 and (b) $0.055 for each Class A ordinary share outstanding (each a “One-Month Extension Payment”) after taking into account any redemptions in connection with the solicitation of such shareholder approval at the EGM; and

 

NOW THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED:

 

1.Section 1(i) of the Trust Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

“(i) Commence liquidation of the Trust Account only after and promptly after receipt of, and only in accordance with, the terms of a letter from the Company (“Termination Letter”) in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as either Exhibit A or Exhibit B, as applicable, signed on behalf of the Company by its Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer or Chairman of the board of directors (the “Board”) or other authorized officer of the Company (and in the case of Exhibit A, jointly signed by the Representative), and complete the liquidation of the Trust Account and distribute the Property in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account, less interest previously released to, or reserved for use by, the Company in an amount up to $100,000 to pay dissolution expenses (as applicable) and less any other interest released to, or reserved for use by, the Company to pay taxes as provided in this Agreement only as directed in the Termination Letter and the other documents referred to therein; provided that, in the event that a Termination Letter has not been received by the Trustee by (A) the date that is 15 months after the closing of the IPO (“Closing”); or (B) if the President, Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board extends the time to complete the Business Combination by three (3) months, the date that is 18 months after the Closing, provided that the Company deposits the First Extension Payment into the Trust Account on or prior to the date that is 15 months after the Closing; or (C) if the President, Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board further extends the time to complete the Business Combination by an additional one-month period, the date that is 19 months after the Closing, provided that the Company deposits the One-Month Extension Payment into the Trust Account on or prior to the date that is 18 months after the Closing; or (D) if the President, Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board further extends the time to complete the Business Combination by an additional one-month period, the date that is 20 months after the Closing, provided that the Company deposits the One-Month Extension Payment into the Trust Account on or prior to the date that is 19 months after the Closing; or (E) if the President, Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board further extends the time to complete the Business Combination by an additional one-month period, the date that is 21 months after the Closing, provided that the Company deposits the One-Month Extension Payment into the Trust Account on or prior to the date that is 20 months after the Closing; but if the Company has not completed the Business Combination within the applicable monthly anniversary of the Closing (“Last Date”), the Trust Account shall be liquidated in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Termination Letter attached as Exhibit B hereto and distributed to the Public Shareholders as of the Last Date. For example, if during the six-month period spanning 15 months and 21 months after the Closing, the Company does not deposit the One-Month Extension Payment into the Trust Account by the last day of the fourth month, then the Last Date shall be the last day of the fourth month. The form of any extension contemplated by this Section 1(i) shall be in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E. The Trustee agrees to serve as the paying agent of record (“Paying Agent”) with respect to any distribution of Property that is to be made to the Public Shareholders and, in its separate capacity as Paying Agent, agrees to distribute such Property directly to the Company’s Public Shareholders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association in effect at the time of such distribution;”

8. Unconditional Liability. Maker hereby waives all notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default, or enforcement of the payment of this Note, and agrees that its liability shall be unconditional, without regard to the liability of any other party, and shall not be affected in any manner by any indulgence, extension of time, renewal, waiver or modification granted or consented to by Payee, and consents to any and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers, or modifications that may be granted by Payee with respect to the payment or other provisions of this Note, and agrees that additional makers, endorsers, guarantors, or sureties may become parties hereto without notice to Maker or affecting Maker’s liability hereunder.
