Item 1.02 Termination of Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously announced, on June 1, 2023, Seaport Global Acquisition II Corp., a Delaware corporation (“SGII”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of July 14, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among SGII, Lithium Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of SGII (“Merger Sub”), and American Battery Materials, Inc. (OTC Pink: BLTH), a Delaware corporation (“ABM”). ABM is an exploration stage company focused on environmentally friendly direct lithium extraction and other minerals critical to the global energy transition. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into ABM, with ABM surviving the merger (the “Merger” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”). As a result of the Transactions, ABM will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of SGII, with the stockholders of ABM becoming stockholders of SGII.
On November 20, 2023, pursuant to Sections 8.09(c) and 10.01(f) of the Merger Agreement, SGII notified ABM that SGII had elected to terminate the Merger Agreement.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On November 20, 2023, SGII issued a press release announcing that because SGII will not consummate an initial business combination within the time period required by its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Amended Charter”), SGII intends to dissolve and liquidate in accordance with the provisions of the Amended Charter.
A copy of the press release is furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and is incorporated herein by reference. The press release is intended to be 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 the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
