Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Supplementary Information Regarding Non-Redemption Agreements in Connection with Extraordinary General Meeting
As previously disclosed, Spree Acquisition Corp. 1 Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Spree” or the “Company”) has called an extraordinary general meeting of the Company, which will be held at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time/4:00 p.m. local (Israel) time on December 21, 2023 (the “Meeting”). The purpose of the Meeting will be the consideration of, and vote on, among other matters, a proposal to approve, by way of special resolution, an amendment to Spree’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Articles”) to extend the date by which Spree has to consummate a business combination (the “Extension”) from March 20, 2024 to December 20, 2024 (the three-year anniversary of its initial public offering), or such earlier date as may be determined by Spree’s board of directors in its sole discretion (the “Articles Extension Proposal”).
As furthermore previously disclosed, in connection with the Meeting, the Articles Extension Proposal and the Extension, the Company and its sponsor, Spree Operandi, LP, a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (together with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Spree Operandi U.S. LP, a Delaware limited partnership, collectively, the “Sponsor”), have been entering into non-redemption agreements (the “Non-Redemption Agreements”) with several unaffiliated third parties (the “Non-Redeeming Shareholders”). A description of the Non-Redemption Agreements appeared in Spree’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 6, 2023 (the “Prior Form 8-K”), the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein, and which can be accessed at the following link: https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0001881462/000121390023093273/ea189604-8k_spreeacq1.htm,
As described in the Prior Form 8-K, under the Non-Redemption Agreements, the Non-Redeeming Shareholders have been agreeing not to redeem (or to validly rescind any redemption requests with respect to) the Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001, of the Company (“Class A ordinary shares”) that they hold or will acquire prior to the Meeting (the “Non-Redeemed Shares”), in connection with the shareholder vote on the Articles Extension Proposal. In exchange for that commitment of the Non-Redeeming Shareholders, the Sponsor has been agreeing (subject to certain conditions) to transfer founder shares of the Company held by it (which are currently Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001, of the Company (“Class B ordinary shares”)) (“Founder Shares”) to the Non-Redeeming Shareholders immediately following, and subject to, Spree’s consummation of an initial business combination.
Spree hereby reports supplementarily that the Sponsor will transfer 70,000 Founder Shares to the Non-Redeeming Shareholders (subject to the fulfillment of the relevant conditions under the Non-Redemption Agreements) for every 200,000 Non-Redeemed Shares that they hold and do not redeem (or for which they rescind a redemption request) in connection with the Meeting. For illustrative purposes, if Redeeming Shareholders continue to hold and do not redeem (or rescind redemption requests) with respect to 2 million Non-Redeemed Shares, in the aggregate, the Sponsor will transfer to the Non-Redeeming Shareholders an aggregate of 700,000 Founder Shares.
As previously disclosed, certain Non-Redeeming Shareholders intend to purchase additional publicly-held Class A ordinary shares on the open market. Such purchases will be made at or below the redemption price expected to be paid to public shareholders who redeem their Class A ordinary shares in connection with the Meeting. Spree hereby reports supplementarily that as of December 19, 2023, based on the balance in the Company’s trust account of approximately $46.335 million, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.94.
As furthermore previously disclosed in the Prior Form 8-K, the Non-Redemption Agreements are not expected to increase the likelihood that the Articles Extension Proposal is approved by Spree’s shareholders, but are expected to limit the reduction in the amount of funds that remain in the Company’s trust account following the Meeting due to redemptions by public shareholders.
The foregoing information with respect to the Non-Redemption Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Non-Redemption Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Prior Form 8-K, which is incorporated herein by reference.
THE ACTUAL TERMS OF ANY NON-REDEMPTION INCENTIVE MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THE TERMS DESCRIBED ABOVE.
Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
Potential Transfer of Listing to Nasdaq
Spree hereby reports that on December 7, 2023, its outside legal counsel, as instructed by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, filed a listing application with The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) for the transfer of the listing of each of its (i) Class A Ordinary Shares, (ii) warrants to purchase Class A ordinary shares (“warrants”), and (iii) units (each consisting of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of a redeemable warrant) from the New York Stock Exchange to Nasdaq. No assurances can be provided that the subject listing application will be approved by Nasdaq or that the subject transfer of listing will be completed.
