Description of the Transactions
Business Combination
On November 27, 2023, Plum Acquisition Corp. I, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“Plum”), Plum SPAC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Plum (“Merger Sub”), and Veea Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Veea”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”).
Subject to its terms and conditions, the Business Combination Agreement provides that (a) on the day of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination (the “Closing”), Plum will change its jurisdiction of incorporation by transferring by way of continuation from a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares and domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”), and (b) following the Domestication, Merger Sub will merge with and into Veea, with Veea surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Plum (the “Merger”).
In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, at Closing, each outstanding share of Veea Common Stock and each outstanding share of Veea Preferred Stock, on an as-converted to Veea Common Stock basis, but excluding Dissenting Shares, New Financing Securities and treasury shares, will be cancelled and extinguished and converted into the right to receive the number of shares of New Plum Common Stock determined in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement based on a pre-money equity value of Veea of $180,000,000, plus the aggregate exercise prices of Veea’s in-the-money, vested convertible securities, divided by $10.00.
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each Veea Option will be converted into an option to acquire, subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Veea Option, the number of shares of New Plum Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share), determined by multiplying the number of shares of Veea Common Stock subject to such Veea Option as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger by the Existing Holder Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), at an exercise price per share of New Plum Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (a) the exercise price per share of Veea Common Stock of such Veea Option as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, divided by (b) the Existing Holder Exchange Ratio.
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each other Veea Convertible Security outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will cease to represent a right to acquire Veea Capital Stock, shall be assumed by Plum, and shall be cancelled in exchange for a convertible security to acquire shares of New Plum Common Stock, on the same contractual terms and conditions as were in effect with respect to the Veea Convertible Security immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger under the terms of the relevant agreements governing such Veea Convertible Security, except for terms rendered inoperative by reason of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or for such other immaterial administrative or ministerial changes as the board of directors of Plum may determine in good faith are appropriate to effectuate the administration of the convertible securities. The number of shares of New Plum Common Stock issuable pursuant to the convertible security will be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Veea Common Stock subject to the Veea Convertible Security on an as-converted to shares of Veea Common Stock basis as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger by (i) the Existing Holder Exchange Ratio in the case of securities convertible into Veea Capital Stock other than New Financing Securities, or (ii) in the case of New Financing Securities or securities convertible into New Financing Securities, the New Veea Shareholder Exchange Ratio. The exercise price per share of New Plum Common Stock will be determined by (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) (x) in the case of securities convertible into Veea Capital Stock other than New Financing Securities, the exercise price per share of Veea Capital Stock of such Veea Convertible Security divided by the Existing Holder Exchange Ratio, or (y) in the case of New Financing Securities or securities convertible into New Financing Securities, the exercise price per share of Veea Capital Stock of such Veea Convertible Security divided by the New Veea Shareholder Exchange Ratio.
Any Veea indebtedness owed to Allen Salmasi or his affiliates (or their respective assignees) will be converted into shares of New Plum Common Stock at the Closing at a price of $10.00 per share of New Plum Common Stock, which shares are not considered Existing Veea Shares and will be in addition to the shares of New Plum Common Stock issued to holders of Existing Veea Shares.
Each Dissenting Share will not be converted into a right to receive a portion of the Transaction Consideration (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), but instead shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL.
Earnout
The Business Combination Agreement provides holders of Existing Veea Shares with a contingent right to receive Earnout Consideration consisting of up to 4,500,000 additional shares of New Plum Common Stock, subject to the following contingencies:
| ● | 50% of the Earnout Consideration if, at any time during the ten years following the Closing (the “Earnout Period”), the volume-weighted average trading sale price of one share of New Plum Common Stock is greater than or equal to $12.50 per share for any twenty (20) trading-days within any thirty (30) trading-day period; and |
| ● | 50% of the Earnout Consideration if, at any time during the Earnout Period, the volume-weighted average trading sale price of one share of New Plum Common Stock is greater than or equal to $15.00 per share for any twenty (20) trading-days within any thirty (30) trading-day period. |
If there is a Change of Control Transaction during the Earnout Period, (i) to the extent that the implied price per share of New Plum Common Stock in such transaction is above the applicable stock price targets, the vesting of such Earnout Consideration will accelerate and the Earnout Consideration will be issuable upon the closing of such transaction, and (ii) the contingent obligations for any remaining Earnout Consideration will be rolled over to the resulting company from such transaction, unless after such transaction, the resulting company from such transaction is no longer publicly listed on Nasdaq or another nationally-recognized securities exchange, in which case, any unvested Earnout Consideration will immediately vest.
Amendments to Promissory Notes
As previously disclosed, the Plum issued unsecured promissory notes to Mr. Michael Dinsdale, Ms. Ursula Burns, and Mr. Kanishka Roy on January 31, 2022, July 11, 2022, and March 16, 2023, respectively (the “Promissory Notes”), and issued an unsecured promissory note to Plum Partners, LLC on July 25, 2023 (the “Plum Partners Promissory Note”). On September 11, 2024 the Company entered into amendments to the Promissory Notes where, upon consummation of a business combination, the outstanding principal balance will be converted into Class A Common Stock of the post-closing entity in an amount of shares equal to the outstanding principal balance divided by $5 per share. On September 11, 2024 the Company entered into an amendment to the Plum Partners Promissory Note where, upon consummation of a business combination, the outstanding principal balance in excess of $250,000 will be converted into Class A Common Stock of the post-closing entity in an amount of shares equal to the outstanding principal balance divided by $5 per share.
Sponsor Letter Agreement
Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Plum Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), Plum and Veea entered into a Sponsor Letter Agreement, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed, among other things, to (a) vote all of its Plum Ordinary Shares in favor of the proposals relating to the Business Combination; (b) refrain from effecting a Plum Shareholder Redemption (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement); (c) exercise the option to extend the period of time Plum is afforded under its governing documents to consummate a business combination, (d) waive certain anti-dilution and conversion rights with respect to its Plum Ordinary Shares which had been granted in connection with Plum’s Initial Public Offering; (e) forfeit its Plum founder shares, at the rate of $10.00 per share, to the extent certain of its expenses exceed $2.5 million or it incurs certain other expenses; and (f) subject 1,726,994 of its Plum founder shares to forfeiture if the conditions applicable to the Earnout Shares are not satisfied during the Earnout Period (on the same terms proportionately as the Earnout Shares).
New Financing
The Business Combination Agreement also contemplates that Veea may sell New Financing Securities generating proceeds of up to $70,000,000 (or more with Plum’s consent) between the date of the Business Combination Agreement and the Closing, and the holders of such New Financing Securities will receive shares of New Plum Common Stock in the aggregate equal to the amount raised through the issuance of the New Financing Securities divided by $7.50. As of June 30, 2024 a total of approximately $35.9 million in consideration was received. As of June 30, 2024, approximately $30.8 million in cash has been raised under the New Financing Securities, and approximately $3 million of debt was converted and approximately $2.1 million of other obligations were settled via the issuance of Series A-2 Preferred Shares.
Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned upon, among other things: (i) the approval by the Plum shareholders of the Condition Precedent Proposals being obtained; (ii) the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act relating to the Business Combination having expired or been terminated; (iii) the completion of the offer to redeem the Class A ordinary shares of Plum; (iv) the New Plum Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Business Combination having been approved for listing on Nasdaq; and (v) Plum having at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets immediately after the Closing. Therefore, unless these conditions are waived by the applicable parties to the Business Combination Agreement, if these conditions are not satisfied the Business Combination Agreement could terminate and the Business Combination may not be consummated. For further details, see “Business Combination Proposal — Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination.”
Amendment to the Business Combination Agreement and Additional Conditions to Closing
On September 11, 2024, Plum, Veea, and Merger Sub entered into an entered into a second amendment to the Business Combination Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Amendment, among other things, (a) provides that the Business Combination Agreement will automatically terminate if the Closing has not occurred on or prior to September 16, 2024, and (b) contains a release and waiver of potential claims arising under the BCA prior to the date of the Amendment by the other parties thereto.
Plum, Veea and Sponsor expect to further agree to provide for certain additional conditions to the Closing, including but not limited to the following: the assumption of certain deferred liabilities of Plum by the post-Closing Company in exchange for certain Sponsor Earnout Shares, indemnification of post-Closing Company for all other accrued liabilities of Plum not so deferred, equitization of certain promissory and other notes at a price of $5 per share and a waiver of the net tangible assets closing condition in the Business Combination Agreement. In addition, it is expected that as a condition to Closing the parties will raise at least $4.0 million in additional financing, comprised of at least $2.0 million that will be available to the combined company at or within ten business days of the Closing, and the remainder within 30 days after the Closing, and in connection with which the Sponsor shall transfer a total of 550,000 registered Sponsor Earnout Shares (including those given in exchange for the assumption of deferred liabilities) to the investors in such additional financing.
Accounting for the Business Combination
The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Plum will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes, and Veea will be the accounting “acquirer” This determination was primarily based on the assumption that:
| ● | Veea’s current shareholders will hold a majority of the voting power of New Plum post Business Combination; |
| ● | effective upon the Business Combination, the post-combination Board will consist of seven (7) directors, including five (5) directors designated by Veea, one (1) director designated by Plum and one (1) director mutually agreed upon by Plum and Veea; |
| ● | Veea’s operations will substantially comprise the ongoing operations of New Plum; and |
| ● | Veea’s senior management will comprise the senior management of New Plum. |
Another determining factor was that Plum does not meet the definition of a “business” pursuant to ASC 805-10-55, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), and thus, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, within the scope of ASC 805. The net assets of Plum will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Any excess of the fair value of shares issued to Plum over the fair value of Plum’s identifiable net assets acquired represents compensation for the service of a stock exchange listing for its shares and is expensed as incurred.

| (5) | Reflects the receipt of approximately $30.8 million in cash and approximately $5.2 million in the conversion of debt and other outstanding obligations as other consideration received from the sale of New Financing Securities through June 30, 2024, in which Veea issued shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock and the holders of such New Financing Securities will receive shares of New Plum Common Stock in the aggregate equal to the amount raised through the issuance of the New Financing Securities divided by $7.50 per share, which is a 25% discount to the valuation in the Business Combination Agreement. For Pro Forma purposes this will result in the issuance of 4,799,512 shares of New Plum Common Stock. |

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 — Description of the Proposed Transactions
On November 27, 2023, Plum Acquisition Corp. I, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“Plum”), Plum SPAC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Plum (“Merger Sub”), and Veea Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Veea”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”).
Subject to its terms and conditions, the Business Combination Agreement provides that (a) on the day of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination (the “Closing”), Plum will change its jurisdiction of incorporation by transferring by way of continuation from a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares and domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”), and (b) following the Domestication, Merger Sub will merge with and into Veea, with Veea surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Plum (the “Merger”).
In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, at Closing, each outstanding share of Veea Common Stock and each outstanding share of Veea Preferred Stock, on an as-converted to Veea Common Stock basis, but excluding Dissenting Shares, New Financing Securities and treasury shares, will be cancelled and extinguished and converted into the right to receive the number of shares of New Plum Common Stock determined in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement based on a pre-money equity value of Veea of $180,000,000, plus the aggregate exercise prices of Veea’s in-the-money, vested convertible securities, divided by $10.00.
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each Veea Option will be converted into an option to acquire, subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Veea Option, the number of shares of New Plum Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share), determined by multiplying the number of shares of Veea Common Stock subject to such Veea Option as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger by the Existing Holder Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share of New Plum Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (a) the exercise price per share of Veea Common Stock of such option as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, divided by (b) the Existing Holder Exchange Ratio.
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each other Veea Convertible Security outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will cease to represent a right to acquire Veea Capital Stock, shall be assumed by Plum, and shall be cancelled in exchange for a convertible security to acquire shares of New Plum Common Stock, on the same contractual terms and conditions as were in effect with respect to the Veea Convertible Security immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger under the terms of the relevant agreements governing such Veea Convertible Security, except for terms rendered inoperative by reason of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or for such other immaterial administrative or ministerial changes as the board of directors of Plum may determine in good faith are appropriate to effectuate the administration of the convertible securities. The number of shares of New Plum Common Stock issuable pursuant to the convertible security will be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Veea Common Stock subject to the Veea Convertible Security on an as-converted to shares of Veea Common Stock basis as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger by (i) the Existing Holder Exchange Ratio in the case of securities convertible into Veea Capital Stock other than New Financing Securities, or (ii) in the case of New Financing Securities or securities convertible into New Financing Securities, the New Veea Shareholder Exchange Ratio. The exercise price per share of New Plum Common Stock will be determined by (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) (x) in the case of securities convertible into Veea Capital Stock other than New Financing Securities, the exercise price per share of Veea Capital Stock of such Veea Convertible Security divided by the Existing Holder Exchange Ratio, or (y) in the case of New Financing Securities or securities convertible into New Financing Securities, the exercise price per share of Veea Capital Stock of such Veea Convertible Security divided by the New Veea Shareholder Exchange Ratio.
Any Veea indebtedness owed to Allen Salmasi or his affiliates (or their respective assignees) (“NLabs Debt”) will be converted into shares of New Plum Common Stock at the Closing at a price of $10.00 per share of New Plum Common Stock, which shares are not considered Existing Veea Shares and will be in addition to the shares of New Plum Common Stock issued to holders of Existing Veea Shares.
Each Dissenting Share will not be converted into a right to receive a portion of the Transaction Consideration (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), but instead shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Earnout
The Business Combination Agreement provides holders of Existing Veea Shares with a contingent right to receive Earnout Consideration consisting of up to 4,500,000 additional shares of New Plum Common Stock, subject to the following contingencies:
| ● | 50% of the Earnout Consideration if, at any time during the ten years following the Closing (the “Earnout Period”), the volume-weighted average trading sale price of one share of New Plum Common Stock is greater than or equal to $12.50 per share for any twenty (20) trading-days within any thirty (30) trading-day period; and |
| ● | 50% of the Earnout Consideration if, at any time during the Earnout Period, the volume-weighted average trading sale price of one share of New Plum Common Stock is greater than or equal to $15.00 per share for any twenty (20) trading-days within any thirty (30) trading-day period. |
If there is a Change of Control Transaction during the Earnout Period, (i) to the extent that the implied price per share of New Plum Common Stock in such transaction is above the applicable stock price targets, the vesting of such Earnout Consideration will accelerate and the Earnout Consideration will be issuable upon the closing of such transaction, and (ii) the contingent obligations for any remaining Earnout Consideration will be rolled over to the resulting company from such transaction, unless after such transaction, the resulting company from such transaction is no longer publicly listed on Nasdaq or another nationally-recognized securities exchange, in which case, any unvested Earnout Consideration will immediately vest.
Amendments to Promissory Notes
As previously disclosed, the Plum issued unsecured promissory notes to Mr. Michael Dinsdale, Ms. Ursula Burns, and Mr. Kanishka Roy on January 31, 2022, July 11, 2022, and March 16, 2023, respectively (the “Promissory Notes”), and issued an unsecured promissory note to Plum Partners, LLC on July 25, 2023 (the “Plum Partners Promissory Note”). On September 11, 2024 the Company entered into amendments to the Promissory Notes where, upon consummation of a business combination, the outstanding principal balance will be converted into Class A Common Stock of the post-closing entity in an amount of shares equal to the outstanding principal balance divided by $5 per share. On September 11, 2024 the Company entered into an amendment to the Plum Partners Promissory Note where, upon consummation of a business combination, the outstanding principal balance in excess of $250,000 will be converted into Class A Common Stock of the post-closing entity in an amount of shares equal to the outstanding principal balance divided by $5 per share.
Sponsor Letter Agreement
Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Plum Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), Plum and Veea entered into a Sponsor Letter Agreement, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed, among other things, to (a) vote all of its Plum Ordinary Shares in favor of the proposals relating to the Business Combination; (b) refrain from effecting a Plum Shareholder Redemption (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement); (c) exercise the option to extend the period of time Plum is afforded under its governing documents to consummate a business combination, (d) waive certain anti-dilution and conversion rights with respect to its Plum Ordinary Shares which had been granted in connection with Plum’s Initial Public Offering; (e) forfeit its Plum founder shares, at the rate of $10.00 per share, to the extent certain of its expenses exceed $2.5 million or it incurs certain other expenses; and (f) subject 1,726,994 of its Plum founder shares to forfeiture if the conditions applicable to the Earnout Shares are not satisfied during the Earnout Period (on the same terms proportionately as the Earnout Shares).
New Financing
The Business Combination Agreement also contemplates that Veea may sell New Financing Securities generating proceeds of up to $70,000,000 (or more with Plum’s consent) between the date of the Business Combination Agreement and the Closing, and the holders of such New Financing Securities will receive shares of New Plum Common Stock in the aggregate equal to the amount raised through the issuance of the New Financing Securities divided by $7.50. As of June 30, 2024 a total of approximately $35.9 million in consideration was received. As of June 30, 2024, approximately $30.8 million in cash has been raised under the New Financing Securities, and approximately $3 million of debt was converted and approximately $2.1 million of other obligations were settled via the issuance of Series A-2 Preferred Shares.
Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned upon, among other things: (i) the approval by the Plum shareholders of the Condition Precedent Proposals being obtained; (ii) the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act relating to the Business Combination having expired or been terminated; (iii) the completion of the offer to redeem the Class A ordinary shares of Plum; (iv) the New Plum Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Business Combination having been approved for listing on Nasdaq; and (v) Plum having at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets immediately after the Closing. Therefore, unless these conditions are waived by the applicable parties to the Business Combination Agreement, if these conditions are not satisfied the Business Combination Agreement could terminate and the Business Combination may not be consummated. For further details, see “Business Combination Proposal — Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination.”
Amendment to the Business Combination Agreement and Additional Conditions to Closing
On September 11, 2024, Plum, Veea, and Merger Sub entered into an entered into a second amendment to the Business Combination Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Amendment, among other things, (a) provides that the Business Combination Agreement will automatically terminate if the Closing has not occurred on or prior to September 16, 2024, and (b) contains a release and waiver of potential claims arising under the BCA prior to the date of the Amendment by the other parties thereto.
Plum, Veea and Sponsor expect to further agree to provide for certain additional conditions to the Closing, including but not limited to the following: the assumption of certain deferred liabilities of Plum by the post-Closing Company in exchange for certain Sponsor Earnout Shares, indemnification of post-Closing Company for all other accrued liabilities of Plum not so deferred, equitization of certain promissory and other notes at a price of $5 per share and a waiver of the net tangible assets closing condition in the Business Combination Agreement. In addition, it is expected that as a condition to Closing the parties will raise at least $4.0 million in additional financing, comprised of at least $2.0 million that will be available to the combined company at or within ten business days of the Closing, and the remainder within 30 days after the Closing, and in connection with which the Sponsor shall transfer a total of 550,000 registered Sponsor Earnout Shares (including those given in exchange for the assumption of deferred liabilities) to the investors in such additional financing.
Note 2 — Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies
The unaudited Pro Forma condensed combined financial information is for illustrative purposes only. The financial results may have been different had the companies always been combined. You should not rely on the unaudited Pro Forma condensed combined financial information as being indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved had the companies always been combined or the future results that Veea will experience. Veea and Plum did not have any historical relationship prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, no Pro Forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.
The following unaudited Pro Forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” Release No. 33-10786 replaces the existing Pro Forma adjustment criteria with simplified Pro Forma adjustments that depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and allows optional Pro Forma adjustments that present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur. Veea and Plum have elected not to present any estimates related to potential synergies and other transaction effects that are reasonably expected to occur or have already occurred and will only be presenting Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the unaudited Pro Forma condensed combined financial information.
Plum does not meet the definition of a “business” pursuant to ASC 805-10-55 as it is an empty listed shell holding only cash raised as part of its original equity issuance. As a result, the Business Combination does not qualify as a “business combination” within the meaning of ASC 805, Business Combinations; rather, the Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse merger in accordance with U.S. GAAP. See Note 3 — Accounting for the Business Combination for more details.
The historical financial statements of Veea have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The historical financial statements of Plum have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The unaudited Pro Forma condensed combined financial information reflects U.S. GAAP, the basis of accounting used by Veea.
Plum has elected to provide the unaudited Pro Forma condensed combined financial information reflecting actual redemptions.
The following summarizes the Pro Forma shares of New Plum Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after the Business Combination.
| | Actual Redemptions | |
Pro Forma Ownership | | Number of Shares | | | Percent Outstanding | |
Veea Stockholders(1) | | | 17,319,644 | | | | 52.5 | % |
NLabs Debt conversion shareholders(2) | | | 3,147,970 | | | | 9.5 | % |
Plum Public Shareholders(3) | | | 573,771 | | | | 1.8 | % |
Sponsor’s Founder Shares(4) | | | 6,253,415 | | | | 19.0 | % |
Incentive shares on Convertible Note | | | 533,333 | | | | 1.6 | % |
Sponsor Promissory Note converted Shares | | | 329,990 | | | | 1.0 | % |
Series A-2 New Financing Securities investors(5) | | | 4,799,512 | | | | 14.6 | % |
Total shares outstanding | | | 32,957,635 | | | | 100 | % |
| (1) | Represents the exchange of outstanding Veea shares into shares of New Plum Common Stock upon the Closing of the Business Combination. This amount excludes 918,954 in New Plum shares as a result of 79,677 Series A-1 Warrants and 839,277 vested options. All of which are currently in the money and exercisable. |
| (2) | Reflect the conversion of Veea indebtedness owed to Allen Salmasi or his affiliates (or their respective assignees) into 3,147,970 shares of New Plum Common Stock at par value of $0.0001 as prescribed in the Business Combination Agreement for the settlement of $12.60 million in related party debt principal and $3.14 million in related interest. |
| (3) | Reflects actual redemptions as a result of the Extension Redemptions of 19,230 Plum shares, and 2,662,592 Plum shares in the vote for the Business Combination (4) Excludes 1,726,994 Class A founder shares of the Sponsor in reserve and 4,500,000 Earnout Shares issuable to holders of Existing Veea Shares upon satisfaction of the Earnout Triggering Events. |
| (4) | Excludes 1,176,994 Class A founder shares of the Sponsor in reserve and 4,500,000 Earnout Shares issuable to holders of Existing Veea Shares upon satisfaction of the Earnout Triggering Events and 550,000 Earnout Shares of the Sponsor reserved as issuable to new investors as incentive to invest in Convertible Note agreement. |
| (5) | Reflects the receipt of approximately $30.8 million in cash and approximately $5.2 million in the conversion of debt and other outstanding obligations as other consideration received from the sale of New Financing Securities through June 30, 2024, in which Veea issued shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock and the holders of such New Financing Securities will receive shares of New Plum Common Stock in the aggregate equal to the amount raised through the issuance of the New Financing Securities divided by $7.50 per share, which is a 25% discount to the valuation in the Business Combination Agreement. For Pro Forma purposes this will result in the issuance of 4,799,512 shares of New Plum Common Stock. |
The Pro Forma adjustments do not have an income tax effect as they are either (i) incurred by legal entities that are not subject to a corporate income tax, or (ii) permanently non-deductible or non-taxable based on the laws of the relevant jurisdiction.
Upon consummation of the Business Combination, management will perform a comprehensive review of the two entities’ accounting policies. As a result of the review, management may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two entities which, when conformed, could have a material impact on the financial statements of the post-combination company. Management did not identify any differences that would have a material impact on the unaudited Pro Forma condensed combined financial information. As a result, the unaudited Pro Forma condensed combined financial information does not assume any differences in accounting policies.
Note 3 — Accounting for the Business Combination
The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Plum will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes, and Veea will be the accounting “acquirer” This determination was primarily based on the assumption that:
| ● | Veea’s current shareholders will hold a majority of the voting power of New Plum post Business Combination; |
| ● | effective upon the Business Combination, the post-combination Board will consist of seven (7) directors, including five (5) directors designated by Veea, one (1) director designated by Plum and one (1) director mutually agreed upon by Plum and Veea; |
| ● | Veea’s operations will substantially comprise the ongoing operations of New Plum; |
| ● | Veea’s senior management will comprise the senior management of New Plum. |
Another determining factor was that Plum does not meet the definition of a “business” pursuant to ASC 805-10-55, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), and thus, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, within the scope of ASC 805. The net assets of Plum will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Any excess of the fair value of shares issued to Plum over the fair value of Plum’s identifiable net assets acquired represents compensation for the service of a stock exchange listing for its shares and is expensed as incurred.
Note 4 — Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2024
The Pro Forma adjustments to the unaudited Pro Forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2024, are as follows:
| A. | Reflects the liquidation and reclassification of $6.23 million of funds held in the Trust Account to cash that becomes available following the Business Combination. |
| B. | Represents the transaction costs settlement by Plum and Veea for legal, accounting and printing fees incurred as part of the Business Combination. In connection with the amendments to the Business Combination Agreement Plum Sponsor agreed to indemnify PublicVeea and Veea for all other accrued liabilities of Plum as of the Closing other than the specified Deferred Liabilities of $1.60 million.
