For purposes of the Forward Purchase Agreement, NUBI is referred to as the “Counterparty” prior to the consummation of the Merger, while Solidion Technology, Inc. (“Pubco”) is referred to as the “Counterparty” after the consummation of the Merger. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Forward Purchase Agreement previously filed with the SEC. Pursuant to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement, Seller intends, but is not obligated, to, concurrently with the Closing pursuant to Seller’s FPA Funding Amount PIPE Subscription Agreement, purchase up to 9.9% of the total Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of NUBI (“NUBI Shares”) outstanding following the closing of the Merger, as calculated by Seller (the “Purchased Amount”), less the number of NUBI Shares purchased by Seller separately from third parties through a broker in the open market (“Recycled Shares”). Seller will not be required to purchase an amount of NUBI Shares such that, following such purchase, that Seller’s ownership would exceed 9.9% of the total NUBI Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such purchase, unless Seller, at its sole discretion, waives such 9.9% ownership limitation. The Number of Shares subject to the Forward Purchase Agreement is subject to reduction following a termination of the Forward Purchase Agreement with respect to such shares as described under “Optional Early Termination” in the Forward Purchase Agreement. The Forward Purchase Agreement provides for a prepayment shortfall in an amount in U.S. dollars equal to 0.50% of the product of the Recycled Shares and the Initial Price (as defined below). As described below in Shortfall Sales, Seller in its sole discretion may sell Recycled Shares at any time following the Trade Date at any sales price without payment by Seller of any Early Termination Obligation until such time as the proceeds from such sales equal 100% of the Prepayment Shortfall (as set forth under Shortfall Sales below) (such sales, “Shortfall Sales,” and such Shares, “Shortfall Sale Shares”). A sale of Shares is only (a) a “Shortfall Sale,” subject to the terms and conditions herein applicable to Shortfall Sale Shares, when a Shortfall Sale Notice is delivered under the Forward Purchase Agreement, and (b) an Optional Early Termination, subject to the terms and conditions of the Forward Purchase Agreement applicable to Terminated Shares, when an OET Notice is delivered under the Forward Purchase Agreement, in each case with the delivery of such notice being in the sole discretion of Seller (as further described in the “Optional Early Termination” and “Shortfall Sales” sections in the Forward Purchase Agreement). The Forward Purchase Agreement provides that Seller will be paid directly an aggregate cash amount (the “Prepayment Amount”) equal to (a) the sum of (i) the Number of Shares as set forth in a Pricing Date Notice, plus (ii) number of Recycled Shares multiplied by the redemption price per share (the “Initial Price”) as defined in Section 9.2(b) of NUBI’s Certificate of Incorporation, effective as of March 10, 2023, and as amended from time to time (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), less (b) the Prepayment Shortfall. The Counterparty will pay to Seller the Prepayment Amount required under the Forward Purchase Agreement directly from the Counterparty’s Trust Account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company holding the net proceeds of the sale of the units in the Counterparty’s initial public offering and the sale of private placement warrants (the “Trust Account”), no later than the earlier of (a) one Local Business Day after the Closing Date and (b) the date any assets from the Trust Account are disbursed in connection with the Merger; except that to the extent that the Prepayment Amount is to be paid from the purchase of Additional Shares by Seller, such amount will be netted against such proceeds, with Seller being able to reduce the purchase price for the Additional Shares by the Prepayment Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, any Additional Shares purchased by Seller will be included in the Number of Shares under the Forward Purchase Agreement for all purposes, including for determining the Prepayment Amount. In addition to the Prepayment Amount, Counterparty shall pay directly from the Trust Account, on the Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the product of (x) up to 200,000 (with such final amount to be determined by Seller in its sole discretion via written notice to Counterparty) and (y) the Initial Price. Following the Closing, the reset price (the “Reset Price”) will initially be the Initial Price. The Reset Price will be subject to reset on a bi -weekly From time to time and on any date following the Trade Date (any such date, an “OET Date”) and subject to the terms and conditions in the Forward Purchase Agreement, Seller may, in its absolute discretion, terminate the Transaction in whole or in part by providing written notice to the Counterparty (the “OET Notice”), by the later of (a) the fifth Local Business Day following the OET Date and (b) the next Payment Date following the OET Date (which shall specify the quantity by which the Number of Shares shall be reduced (such quantity, the “Terminated Shares”)). The effect of an OET Notice shall be to reduce the Number of Shares by the number of Terminated Shares specified in such OET Notice with effect as of the related OET Date. As of each OET Date, the Counterparty shall be entitled to an amount from Seller, and Seller shall pay to the Counterparty an amount, equal to the product of (x) the number of Terminated Shares and (y) the Reset Price in respect of such OET Date. The payment date may be changed within a quarter at the mutual agreement of the parties. The valuation date will be the earliest to occur of (a) the date that is three (3) years after the date of the closing of the Merger (the date of the closing of the Merger, the “Closing Date”) pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (b) the date specified by Seller in a written notice to be delivered to Counterparty at Seller’s discretion (which Valuation Date shall not be earlier than the day such notice is effective) after the occurrence of any of (v) a Shortfall Variance Registration Failure, (w) a VWAP Trigger Event, (x) a Delisting Event, (y) a Registration Failure or (z) unless otherwise specified therein, any Additional Termination Event, and (c) the date specified by Seller in a written notice to be delivered to the Counterparty at Seller’s sole discretion (which Valuation Date shall not be earlier than the day such notice is effective). The Valuation Date notice will become effective immediately upon its delivery from Seller to the Counterparty in accordance with the Forward Purchase Agreement. In the event the Valuation Date is determined pursuant to clause (c), the Settlement Amount Adjustment will not apply to the calculation of the Settlement Amount. On the Cash Settlement Payment Date, which is the tenth Local Business Day immediately following the last day of the Valuation Period, Seller will remit to the Counterparty an amount equal to the Settlement Amount and will not otherwise be required to return to the Counterparty any of the Prepayment Amount and the Counterparty shall remit to Seller the Settlement Amount Adjustment; provided that, if the Settlement Amount less the Settlement Amount Adjustment is a negative number, then neither Seller nor the Counterparty shall be liable to the other party for any payment under the “Cash Settlement Payment” Date section of the Forward Purchase Agreement. Under certain circumstances, the Company would be required to settle in shares or cash at the discretion of the Company. Seller has agreed to waive any redemption rights with respect to the Recycled Shares in connection with the Merger as well as any redemption rights under NUBI’s Certificate of Incorporation that would require redemption by NUBI of the NUBI Shares. Such waiver may reduce the number of NUBI Shares redeemed in connection with the Merger, and such reduction could alter the perception of the potential strength of the Merger. The Forward Purchase Agreement has been structured, and all activity in connection with such agreement has been undertaken, to comply with the requirements of all tender offer regulations applicable to the Merger, including Rule 14e -5 On February 2, 2024, upon consummation of the Merger, NUBI made a payment to each Forward Purchase Investor in respect of their respective Recycled Shares. This payment totaled 7,352 On January 17, 2024, the Company received a Pricing Date Notice from the Forward Purchase Investors specifying 5,838,537 Additional Shares. On March 22, 2024, the Company received an amended Pricing Date Notice revising the total number of Additional Shares to 8,038,537. On June 11, 2024 the Company received an amended Pricing Date Notice revising the total number of Additional Shares to 9,543,002. On August 29, 2024, the Additional Shares have been issued to the Forward Purchase Investors. The Company used a Monte Carlo analysis to determine the fair value of the FPA. The model measured the total present value of the Company’s proceeds at approximately $98,282 and the total present value of the Company’s liability at approximately $3,500,369, resulting in a net liability of approximately $3,402,100 as of September 30, 2024. FPA amendment and resolution of lawsuit On July 17, 2024, plaintiffs Meteora Capital Partners LP, Meteora Select Trading Opportunities Master LP and Meteora Strategic Capital LLC brought a lawsuit against Solidion in Delaware Chancery Court seeking specific performance and monetary damages related to the Forward Purchase Agreement. On August 29, 2024, the Company and the Seller entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Forward Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things: “Prepayment Shortfall” was amended to additionally provide, with respect to the Additional Shares, amounts to be requested in writing from time to time by the Company (each an “Additional Shortfall Request”) in increments of $500,000 (such amount in the aggregate not to exceed (x) the number of Additional Shares multiplied by (y) the Initial Price), and Seller to pay the Prepayment Shortfall on the Additional Shares on the earlier of (a) the date that the Commission declares the Registration Statement effective (the “Registration Statement Effective Date”) and (b) the first OET Date. Additional Shortfall Requests may only be made, unless waived in writing by the Seller, in the event that (i) there is no Prepayment Shortfall outstanding, (ii) the VWAP Price over the ten (10) trading days prior to an Additional Shortfall Request multiplied by the then current Number of Shares (excluding unregistered shares) held by Seller less Shortfall Sale Shares be at least ten (10) times greater than the Additional Shortfall Request and (iii) at the time that such Prepayment Shortfall would be paid by the Seller, the total value traded in Counterparty’s stock, as reported on the relevant Bloomberg Screen, be at least ten (10) times greater than the Additional Prepayment Shortfall request. “Prepayment Shortfall Consideration” was amended to provide that Seller in its sole discretion may sell Additional Shares, as well as Recycled Shares, at any time following the Trade Date and at any sales price, without payment by Seller of any Early Termination Obligation, until such time as the proceeds from such sales equal 120% of the Prepayment Shortfall. “Shortfall Sales” was amended to provide that without Seller’s prior written consent, the Company agrees not to issue, sell or offer or agree to sell any Shares, or securities or debt that is convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Shares, including under any existing or future equity line of credit, beginning from the date of the Amendment until the earlier of (i) the Valuation Date and (ii) the date the Shortfall Sales equal 120% of the total potential Prepayment Shortfall, including with respect to Additional Shares. The foregoing covenant does not prohibit (i) the issuance of any securities issued or assumed in connection with the Business Combination or (ii) repricing of the Company’s warrants in connection with the closing of the Business Combination. “Shortfall Sales” was also amended to provide that unless and until the proceeds from Shortfall Sales equal 120% of the Prepayment Shortfall, in the event that the product of (x) the difference between (i) the number of Shares as specified in the Pricing Date Notice(s), less (ii) any Shortfall Sale Shares as of such measurement time, multiplied by (y) the VWAP Price, is less than (z) the difference between (i) the Prepayment Shortfall, less (ii) the proceeds from Shortfall Sales as of such measurement time (the “Shortfall Variance”), then the Company as liquidated damages in respect of such Shortfall Variance, at its option must within five (5) Local Business Days either: (A) Pay in cash an amount equal to the Shortfall Variance; or (B) Issue and deliver to Seller the Shortfall Variance Shares. “Share Consideration” was amended to additionally provide that upon the execution of the Amendment, Seller became entitled to designate a certain number of Additional Shares as Share Consideration equal to 2,850,000 Shares. “VWAP Trigger Event” was amended to be defined as an event that occurs if the VWAP Price, for any 10 trading days during a 30 consecutive trading day -period In addition, upon execution of the Amendment, Seller agreed to temporarily forbear from exercising any rights under the Forward Purchase Agreement upon any Shortfall Variance Registration Failure, VWAP Trigger Event, or Registration Failure that has occurred or may occur (the “Valuation Date Events”) during the period (the “Standstill Period”) beginning on the Pricing Date and ending on December 31, 2024. Immediately upon expiration of the Standstill Period, if any Valuation Date Events have occurred, Seller has all of its rights with respect to such Valuation Date Events to the same extent, and with the same force and effect, as if the forbearance had not occurred. In addition to all registration rights provided under the Forward Purchase Agreement, upon the execution of the Amendment, the Company within twenty (20) business days, agreed to file a registration statement registering the resale of the Additional Shares and Share Consideration (collectively, the “Meteora Shares”). The Company agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than sixty calendar days after the date of the Amendment. Furthermore, the Company agreed no other shares may be registered before the Meteora Shares, though other shares may be registered concurrently with the Meteora Shares on the same resale registration statement. In addition, the Amendment provides that Seller, from the date of the Amendment until thirty (30) days following the effectiveness of the resale registration statement registering the Meteora Shares, agrees to limit sales of the Meteora Shares to no more than 10% of the daily trading volume of the Company’s common stock, except on trading days when more than 7,000,000 Finally, concurrently with the execution of the Amendment, the Company and the Seller agreed to sign and cause to be filed a joint stipulation for dismissal with prejudice of the Action (as defined below) (the “Stipulation”).
