The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of Venus’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Form S-4 combined registration statement/proxy statement discussed above and other documents filed by Venus from time to time with the SEC.

BACKSTOP AGREEMENT

 

This BACKSTOP AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of this 24th day of January, 2022 by and between (i) Venus Acquisition Corporation (“SPAC” or “Issuer”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, and (ii) WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc., a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands (“Buyer”).

 

WHEREAS, Issuer was organized for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination, an operating business;

 

WHEREAS, this Agreement is being entered into in connection with that certain business combination agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”), dated as of June 10, 2021 as amended, pursuant to which Issuer will consummate an acquisition of VIYI Algorithm Inc., a Cayman Islands company (“Target”) in a reverse merger (“Merger”) in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof; capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning ascribed to such terms in the Acquisition Agreement;

 

WHEREAS, a condition to closing of the Merger is that a third party undertake and agree to purchase securities of Issuer, either in open market transactions, private securities transactions or from shareholders of Issuer desiring to otherwise redeem their securities at the time of the Merger;

 

WHEREAS, Buyer is the beneficial owner of approximately 73% of the outstanding securities of Target and as a shareholder of Target desires to complete the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, in connection with the transactions contemplated under the Acquisition Agreement (“Business Combination”) and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Buyer has agreed to backstop SPAC Share Redemptions (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement), together with any Purchase Amount (as defined below), for an amount up to US$15,000,000 (“Backstop Amount”), and to the extent such backstop is required, desires to subscribe for and purchase that number of ordinary shares1, par value US$0.001 per share (the “Issuer Shares”) to be determined in accordance with the terms hereof, and in such event, the Issuer desires to issue and sell to Buyer such number of Issuer Shares in consideration of the Subscription Amount (as defined below), all on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

 

 

 

 

Article I

Purchase and Closing

 

Section 1.01 Purchase from Third Parties. The Buyer agrees that after SPAC files a proxy statement and/or registration statement relating to the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement (collectively, the “Registration Statement”), the Buyer will have the right but not the obligation to acquire up to US$15,000,000 aggregate amount of shares of SPAC in open market or private transactions at prices of no greater than the redemption price per Share disclosed in the most recently filed Registration Statement plus $0.05 (the “Price Per Share”). In order to effectuate the foregoing, to the extent legally permitted to do so, the Buyer shall enter bids at the Price Per Share (or at a lower price not less than $0.01 below the posted market offer price if and only if the posted market offer price is below the Price Per Share) on the business day after SPAC files the Registration Statement until the business day prior to the shareholder’s meeting relating to the Business Combination. The aggregate purchase amount of the Buyer hereof shall be referred to as “Purchase Amount.” The Buyer hereby agrees and undertakes that it will not exercise any right of redemption with respect to any shares of the SPAC it may acquire under this Section 1.01 (Purchase from Third Parties) hereof.

 

Section 1.02 Subscription from Issuer. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, in the event that any holder of ordinary shares of SPAC, contemporaneously with or prior to the SPAC Shareholders’ Approval (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement), elects to have such holder’s ordinary shares redeemed by SPAC, Buyer hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase, and the Issuer hereby agrees to issue and sell to Buyer at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement (the “Acquisition Closing”), upon the payment of the Subscription Amount (as defined below), the number of Issuer Shares (the “Subscribed Shares”) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the Subscription Amount by the Price Per Share (the “Subscription”). The “Subscription Amount” shall mean an amount equal to the lesser of (i) any excess of Backstop Amount over the Purchase Amount, and (ii) the aggregate amount payable by SPAC in respect of any SPAC Share Redemptions (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement).

 

Section 1.03 Subscription Closing. The closing of the Subscription contemplated hereby (the “Subscription Closing”, together with the Acquisition Closing, the “Closings” and “Closing” shall mean either of them) shall occur on the same day, and substantially concurrent with, consummation of the Acquisition Closing (the date of the Closings, “Closing Date”) subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. Not less than ten (10) business days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, the Issuer shall provide written notice to Buyer of such anticipated Closing Date (the “Closing Notice”) of such anticipated Closing Date. Not less than five (5) business days prior to the anticipated Closing Date (as specified in the Closing Notice), SPAC shall provide written notice to Buyer of the aggregate amount payable in respect of the SPAC Share Redemptions (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement), together with a certificate duly executed by an officer or director of SPAC certifying such aggregate amount (the “Redemption Notice”). Buyer shall deliver to the Issuer on or before two (2) business days prior to the anticipated Closing Date the Subscription for the Subscribed Shares by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the escrow account specified by the Issuer in the Closing Notice, to be held by the escrow agent until the Acquisition Closing. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, but not later than [one (1)] business day after the Closing Date, the Issuer shall deliver to Buyer (1) the Subscribed Shares in book entry form, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions (other than those arising under applicable securities laws), in the name of Buyer (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions) or to a custodian designated by Buyer, as applicable; and (2) a copy of the records of the Issuer’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) or other evidence showing Buyer as the owner of the Subscribed Shares on and as of the Closing Date. In the event the Closing Date does not occur within two (2) business days after the anticipated Closing Date identified in the Closing Notice, the Issuer shall cause the escrow agent to promptly (but not later than five (5) business days thereafter) return the Subscription Amount to Buyer by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by Buyer, and any book entries shall be deemed cancelled; provided that unless this Backstop Agreement has been terminated pursuant to Section 5.01 (Termination), such return of funds shall not terminate this Backstop Agreement or relieve Buyer of its obligation to purchase the Subscribed Shares at the Subscription Closing upon delivery of a new Closing Notice in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

2

 

 

Section 1.04 Conditions Precedent to Subscription.

 

(A) Issuer’s obligations to sell and issue the Subscribed Shares at the Subscription Closing are subject to the fulfillment or (to the extent permitted by applicable law) written waiver, on or prior to the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions:

The Buyer represents that it is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D, promulgated under the Securities Act, and that the Buyer is not subject to the “Bad Actor” disqualification, as such terms is defined in Rule 506 of Regulation D, promulgated under the Securities Act.

Section 5.04 Remedies Cumulative. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that, in the event of any breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement by the other party, money damages may be inadequate with respect to any such breach and the non-breaching party may have no adequate remedy at law. It is accordingly agreed that each of the parties hereto shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled at law or in equity, to seek injunctive relief and/or to compel specific performance to prevent breaches by the other party hereto of any covenant or agreement of such other party contained in this Agreement.

For and in consideration of Issuer’s execution of this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Buyer hereby agrees that it does not now and shall not at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Fund or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against, the Trust Fund, regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, any proposed or actual business relationship between SPAC and Buyer, this Agreement or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to hereafter as the “Claims”). Buyer hereby irrevocably waives any Claims it may have against the Trust Fund (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with SPAC and will not seek recourse against the Trust Fund (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, for an alleged breach of this Agreement). Buyer agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by SPAC to induce it to enter in this Agreement, and Buyer further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable under applicable law. This Section 5.10 (Waiver of Claims against Trust) shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.
