Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 25, 2022, XPAC Acquisition Corp., an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“XPAC”) entered into a Business Combination Agreement on April 25, 2022 (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with (i) SUPERBAC PubCo Holdings Inc., an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“PubCo”); (ii) BAC1 Holdings Inc., an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Merger Sub 1”); (iii) BAC2 Holdings Inc., an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Merger Sub 2”); and (iv) SuperBac Biotechnology Solutions S.A., a corporation incorporated under the laws of Brazil (“SuperBac”) (the transactions contemplated thereby, the “Business Combination”). As contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, on November 7, 2022, Newco BAC Holdings, Inc., an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Newco”) became a party to the Business Combination Agreement by executing and delivering a joinder to the Business Combination Agreement.
As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 2, 2022, XPAC, PubCo, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2, Newco and SuperBac (the “Parties”) entered into the First Amendment Agreement to the Business Combination Agreement, pursuant to which the Parties amended the Business Combination Agreement to extend the date by which either XPAC or SuperBac can terminate the Business Combination Agreement if the transactions contemplated thereby have not been consummated by such date (the “Outside Date”) to January 31, 2023 (and if such date is not a business day, then the next following business day).
As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 9, 2023, the Parties entered into the Second Amendment Agreement to the Business Combination Agreement, pursuant to which the Parties amended the Business Combination Agreement to extend the Outside Date to February 28, 2023 (and if such date is not a business day, then the next following business day).
Termination of the Business Combination Agreement
On May 2, 2023, SuperBac informed XPAC that it had decided to terminate the Business Combination Agreement, which SuperBac is entitled to do pursuant to Section 10.1(i) of the Business Combination Agreement. SuperBac informed XPAC that it had based its decision to terminate the Business Combination Agreement on a number of factors including: (i) the prevailing unfavorable public market conditions and trends in the share price performance of companies that have completed de-SPAC transactions; (ii) a balancing of the benefits and drawbacks of becoming a publicly traded company under current circumstances, including heightened volatility and share price performance risks for companies operating businesses in challenging market conditions; and (iii) the fact that no PIPE investments had been entered into that would provide PubCo with proceeds from the issuance of ordinary shares, it being noted that the Modal PIPE Financing and the Yorkville PIPE Financing (each as defined in the Proxy Statement (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement)), if entered into and consummated, would have comprised the issuance of debt, warrants and convertible debentures raising gross proceeds at a level significantly lower than the Minimum Cash Condition (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement).
Effective as of May 3, 2023, the Parties mutually agreed to terminate the Business Combination Agreement pursuant to a Termination of the Business Combination Agreement dated May 3, 2023 by and between the Parties (the “Termination Agreement”). Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, among other provisions (i) XPAC acquits, releases and discharges each of the Company, PubCo, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2 and Newco and its representatives from all XPAC Released Claims (as defined in the Termination Agreement); and (ii) each of the Company, PubCo, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2 and Newco acquits, releases and discharges XPAC and its representatives from all Company Released Claims (as defined in the Termination Agreement), in each case with respect to the Business Combination Agreement, the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) and the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, in each case except for any claims, if any, based upon a breach of the Termination Agreement or a breach of the NDA (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement). Upon the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, each of the (i) Sponsor Support Agreement, (ii) Voting and Support Agreement, (iii) Lock-up Agreements, and (iv) Investment Agreement (each as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) were automatically terminated in accordance with their respective terms.
The foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by XPAC with the SEC on April 25, 2022 and which is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Termination Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
The information in this Item 7.01 is furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to liabilities under that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the filing of XPAC under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings.
The amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of XPAC (as amended and restated and amended from time to time, the “Memorandum and Articles”) currently provide that XPAC has until August 3, 2023 (the “Original Termination Date”) to complete its initial business combination and, if XPAC does not complete an initial business combination by the Original Termination Date, XPAC will (i) cease all operations, except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, complete the redemption of all issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Ordinary Shares”) issued in XPAC’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) (the “Public Shares”) originally offered together with redeemable warrants (“Public Warrants”) as units (the “Units”) in the IPO, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account established in connection with the IPO (the “Trust Account”), including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to XPAC (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of any taxes payable), divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish the rights of the holders of Public Shares as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption and subject to the approval of XPAC’s then remaining shareholders and XPAC’s board of directors (the “XPAC Board”), liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to XPAC’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
In connection with the termination of the Business Combination, on May 3, 2023, the XPAC Board held a video conference meeting that was also attended by XPAC’s management team. In that meeting, the XPAC Board: (i) resolved to approve the entry into of the Termination Agreement by XPAC; (ii) determined that it is very unlikely that XPAC would able to complete an initial business combination with a target other than SuperBac before the Original Termination Date; (iii) determined that it is in the best interests of XPAC and its shareholders to accelerate the Original Termination Date to a date to be determined in due course (the “Amended Termination Date”); and (iv) resolved that XPAC take all actions that are necessary and advisable in order to convene an extraordinary general meeting of XPAC’s shareholders (an “Extraordinary General Meeting”) in order to consider and vote upon, among other matters:
(a) | a governing documents proposal to amend the Memorandum and Articles to accelerate the date by which XPAC must cease all operations, except for the purpose of winding up, if it fails to complete a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination involving XPAC with one or more businesses or entities, which we refer to as our initial business combination, from the Original Termination Date to the Amended Termination Date; and |
(b) | a trust amendment proposal to amend the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2021 (the “Trust Agreement”), by and between XPAC and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York limited purpose trust company, as trustee (“Continental”), pursuant to an amendment to the Trust Agreement to accelerate the date on which Continental must commence liquidation of the Trust Account to the Amended Termination Date, |
together, the “Accelerated Termination Shareholder Matters”.
If the Accelerated Termination Shareholder Matters are approved by XPAC’s shareholders in an Extraordinary General Meeting expected to be held in due course and are implemented, and because XPAC would not be able to complete an initial business combination by the Amended Termination Date, XPAC would (i) immediately after the Extraordinary General Meeting, cease all operations, except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, complete the redemption of the Public Shares held by shareholders who elect to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares in exchange for their pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account in connection with the approval of the Accelerated Termination Shareholder Matters (the “Voluntary Redemption”); (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, complete the redemption of all remaining issued and outstanding Public Shares not redeemed in the Voluntary Redemption, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (after taking into account the Voluntary Redemption), including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to XPAC (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of any taxes payable), divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares (the “Post-Amendment Share Redemption”); and (iv) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption and subject to the approval of XPAC’s remaining shareholders after completion of the Post-Amendment Share Redemption and the XPAC Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to XPAC’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In addition, if the Accelerated Termination Shareholder Matters are approved by XPAC’s shareholders in an Extraordinary General Meeting expected to be held in due course and are implemented, XPAC plans to voluntarily delist the Class A Ordinary Shares, Public Warrants and Units from the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) as soon as practicable after completion of the redemption of all Public Shares, subject to the rules of Nasdaq and the Memorandum and Articles. As a result of the liquidation process, all Public Warrants and private placement warrants would expire worthless.
If the Accelerated Termination Shareholder Matters are not approved by XPAC’s shareholders in an Extraordinary General Meeting expected to be held in due course or are not implemented, and a business combination is not completed on or before the Original Termination Date, then as contemplated by and in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles, XPAC would (i) on the Original Termination Date, cease all operations, except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, complete the redemption of all issued and outstanding 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 XPAC (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of any taxes payable), divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption and subject to the approval of XPAC’s remaining shareholders after such redemption and the XPAC Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to XPAC’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
SuperBac and the private equity business of XP Inc. and its subsidiaries (“XP Private Equity”) currently intend to pursue a private investment into SuperBac in order to support SuperBac’s continued growth as a privately-held company. XPAC’s sponsor, XPAC Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), is wholly-owned by XP Inc., and as such, XPAC and the Sponsor are affiliates of XP Private Equity. In addition, members of XPAC’s management team are also investment professionals within XP Private Equity and serve as investment managers for funds managed by XP Private Equity.
Additional Information and Where to Find It
The Accelerated Termination Shareholder Matters will be submitted to the shareholders of XPAC for their consideration. It is expected that XPAC will file a preliminary proxy statement with the SEC in due course and that a definitive proxy statement would be distributed to XPAC’s shareholders in connection with XPAC’s solicitation for proxies for the vote by XPAC’s shareholders in connection with the Accelerated Termination Shareholder Matters. In due course, XPAC expects to mail a definitive proxy statement and other relevant documents to its shareholders as of the record date to be established in due course for voting on the Accelerated Termination Shareholder Matters. XPAC’S SHAREHOLDERS AND OTHER INTERESTED PERSONS ARE URGED TO READ, ONCE AVAILABLE, THE PRELIMINARY PROXY STATEMENT AND ANY AMENDMENTS THERETO AND, ONCE AVAILABLE, THE DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT IN CONNECTION WITH XPAC’S SOLICITATION OF PROXIES FOR ITS EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING TO BE HELD TO APPROVE, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE ACCELERATED TERMINATION SHAREHOLDER MATTERS, BECAUSE THESE DOCUMENTS WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT XPAC AND THE MATTERS REFERRED TO HEREIN.

Section 3.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Termination Agreement, it is the express intention of the Parties that the Released Claims described in Section 3.1 and Section 3.2 do not include claims, if any, based upon a breach of this Termination Agreement or a breach of the NDA.
Section 3.4 Each Party acknowledges, understands and agrees that Section 3.2 and Section 3.3 are a full and final release covering the respective Released Claims of the Parties relating, directly or indirectly, to the Business Combination Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby. Each of the Parties expressly waives any rights it may have under law, in equity, in contract, in tort or based on any other theory under which a general release does not extend to respective Released Claims that such Party does not know or suspect to exist in its favor at the time of executing the release in this Termination Agreement, which if known by such Party would have affected such Party’s agreement with the other Parties. In connection with such waiver and relinquishment, each Party acknowledges that such Party or such Party’s Representatives may hereafter discover claims or facts in addition to or different from those which they now know or believe to exist with respect to the Released Claims, and which, if known on the date of the execution of this Termination Agreement, might have materially affected such Party’s decision to enter into and execute this Termination Agreement, but that it is their respective intention hereby fully, finally and forever to settle and release all of their respective Released Claims. In furtherance of such intention, the respective releases given by the Parties pursuant to this Termination Agreement shall be and remain in effect as full and complete releases with regard to their respective Released Claims notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such additional or different claim or fact. Each Party further agrees that by reason of the releases contained in this Termination Agreement, such Party is expressly assuming the risk of such unknown Released Claims and agrees that this Termination Agreement applies thereto.
