Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

The information set forth in Item 1.02 below is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

 

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As previously disclosed, on May 26, 2022, Aesther Healthcare Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“AHAC”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with AHAC Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of AHAC (“Merger Sub”), Aesther Healthcare Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), solely in the capacity as the representative from and after the effective time of the Merger for the stockholders of AHAC (other than the United Stockholder (as defined below) (the “Purchaser Representative”), United Gear & Assembly, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“United Gear”), and United Stars Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and the sole stockholder of United Gear (the “United Stockholder”). In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, AHAC also entered into a common stock purchase agreement with White Lion Capital, LLC on July 6, 2022 (the “Common Stock Purchase Agreement”).

 

On July 18, 2022, pursuant to Section 8.1(a) of the Merger Agreement, AHAC, United Gear, Merger Sub, Purchaser Representative and United Stockholder entered into a letter agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) pursuant to which the Merger Agreement was terminated by the mutual agreement of the parties thereto. AHAC intends to continue to identify and pursue a business combination with an appropriate target.

 

As a result of the termination of the Merger Agreement, the Merger Agreement will be of no further force and effect, and certain Ancillary Documents (as defined in the Merger Agreement) entered into in connection with the Merger Agreement, including but not limited to, the Non-Competition Agreement and the Lock-Up Agreement (as such agreements are defined in the Merger Agreement will also automatically either be terminated in accordance with their terms or be of no further force and effect). In addition, in accordance with the terms thereof, the Common Stock Purchase Agreement also terminated upon the termination of the Merger Agreement.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the Termination Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the terms and conditions of the full text of the Merger Agreement, which was previously filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by AHAC on June 2, 2022, and the full text of the Termination Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, each of which is incorporated by reference herein.

 

 

 

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws with respect the AHAC’s intention to identify another target company for its initial business combination. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result” and similar expressions, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties.

 

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and while AHAC may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, it assumes no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

Re: Agreement and Plan of Merger

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We reference the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 26, 2022 (the “Agreement”), by and among Aesther Healthcare Acquisition Corp. (“Purchaser”), AHAC Merger Sub Inc. (“Merger Sub”), Aesther Healthcare Sponsor, LLC, as the Purchaser Representative, United Gear & Assembly, Inc. (the “Company”) and United Stars Holdings, Inc. (the “Company Stockholder”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

 

In our recent discussions, you have suggested that the Parties agree to terminate the Agreement. The Company hereby notifies Purchaser that the Company is willing to do so, provided that the Purchaser, Merger Sub and the Purchaser Representative deliver to the Company their respective executed counterparts to this letter on or prior to July 21, 2022 (the “Termination Deadline”), in which case: (i) the Purchaser and the Company hereby mutually consent to terminate the Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1(a) thereof, whereupon all rights and obligations of the Parties under the Agreement shall cease (other than Sections 6.13, 6.14, 8.3 and 9.1 thereof, Article X thereof and, subject to clause (iv), below, Section 8.2 thereof, which will survive the termination of the Agreement) without any liability on the part of any Party or any of their respective Representatives, (ii) the Lock-Up Agreement will terminate automatically pursuant to Section 2(a) thereof, (iii) the Non-Competition Agreement will terminate automatically pursuant to Section 7(l) thereof, and (iv) each Party and its Affiliates mutually release, waive, and forever discharge the other Parties and their Affiliates from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, obligations, damages (including contract damages, compensatory damages and punitive damages) and liabilities of any kind (including legal, equitable, contractual, common law, tort, or statutory, whether under federal, state, or local law), whether known or unknown, now existing or arising in the future, based on any act, omission, event, occurrence, or nonoccurrence, from the beginning of time to the Termination Deadline, the Parties had, have, or may have arising out of or related to the Agreement or any Ancillary Document, the negotiation and performance of the Agreement or any Ancillary Document, or any of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement or any Ancillary Document.

 

The Agreement will remain in full force and effect unless and until the Purchaser, Merger Sub and the Purchaser Representative deliver executed counterparts to this letter on or prior to the Termination Deadline, in which case the Agreement will be terminated as contemplated by clause (i) in the preceding paragraph, or the Agreement is otherwise terminated in accordance with its terms. Accordingly, until any such termination, the Company notes that all Parties will remain obligated to continue their efforts to consummate the Business Combination and to perform their obligations under the Agreement.

 

 
 

 

Please acknowledge your acceptance of and agreement to the foregoing by executing and returning to the undersigned as soon as possible a counterpart of this letter.

 

Sincerely,
