On October 2, 2023, Catcha, Crown, and Catcha Holdings LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company, executed Amendment No. 1 to the Business Combination Agreement (the “Amendment”) to delete “Article III – Earnout” of the Business Combination Agreement in its entirety, thereby removing provisions of the Business Combination Agreement that previously provided the Crown shareholders who participate in the Exchange the contingent right to receive in aggregate such number of shares of PubCo Common Stock equivalent to ten percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding equity interests of PubCo Common Stock as of the closing of the Business Combination, subject to vesting upon the achievement of certain share prices and milestones set forth in the Business Combination Agreement.
The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
