On June 25, 2024, Adagio issued a $2.5 million convertible promissory note (“June 2024 Notes”) to Perceptive PIPE Investor that matures upon the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms. It accrues simple interest at eight percent (8.0%) per annum.
Effective upon the closing of the Business Combination, the June 2024 Notes automatically converted into shares of New Adagio Common Stock that were issued in the PIPE Financing in an amount equal to the then-outstanding principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest, divided by the effective price of the securities sold in the PIPE Financing.
July 2024 Note
On July 24, 2024, Adagio issued a $1.0 million convertible promissory note (“July 2024 Notes”) to Perceptive PIPE Investor that would mature upon the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms. It accrued simple interest at eight percent (8.0%) per annum.
Effective upon the closing of the Business Combination, the July 2024 Notes automatically converted into shares of New Adagio Common Stock that were issued in the PIPE Financing in an amount equal to the then-outstanding principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest, divided by the effective price of the securities sold in the PIPE Financing.
SVB Term Loan
In February 2023, we entered into an agreement with Silicon Valley Bank to borrow an initial term loan advance of $3.0 million and a right to borrow a subsequent term loan advance of $2.0 million. The loans mature on January 1, 2025. In conjunction with the SVB Term Loan, we issued warrants to acquire 32,720 common stock shares in February 2023, and distributed additional warrants to acquire 16,360 common stock shares as of June 30, 2023. (Refer to Note 8-Warrants in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 for additional details). The SVB Term Loan was paid off by Adagio at the Closing.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
During the periods presented, we did not have, nor do we currently have, any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. We are, therefore, not exposed to the financing, liquidity, market, or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in those types of relationships.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. We base our estimates on historical experience, current business factors and various other assumptions that we believe are necessary to consider forming a basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the recorded amounts of revenue and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We are subject to uncertainties such as the impact of future events, economic and political factors, and changes in our business environment; therefore, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Accordingly, the accounting estimates used in the preparation of our audited consolidated financial statements will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. Changes in estimates are made when circumstances warrant. Such changes in estimates and refinements in estimation methodologies are reflected in reported results of operations; if material, the effects of changes in estimates are disclosed in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements.
On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2-Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our consolidated financial statements. These are the policies that we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
We recognize compensation expense for all stock-based awards issued to employees and non-employees based on the estimated grant-date fair value, which is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. We have elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The determination of fair value for stock-based awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model requires management to make certain assumptions including expected volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends in addition to our common stock valuation. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent our best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of our judgment.
All stock-based compensation costs are recorded in cost of products sold, research and development expense or selling, general, and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss based upon the respective employee’s or non-employee’s roles.
Due to the absence of a public trading market, we determined the fair value of our common stock by considering numerous objective and subjective factors. The factors considered include, but are not limited to:
| (i) | the results of contemporaneous independent third-party valuations of our common stock; |
| (ii) | the prices, rights, preferences and privileges of our preferred stock relative to those of our common stock; |
| (iii) | the lack of marketability of our common stock; |
| (iv) | actual operating and financial results; |
| (v) | current business conditions and projects; and |
| (vi) | the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event |
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of our common stock was determined with probability weighted expected return method (“PWERM”), which assessed the probability weighted depending on different scenarios. As of March 31, 2024, the valuation was based on the scenario (i) bankruptcy/suboptimal sale scenario reflecting a zero return to common shareholders, with 10% probability, (ii) an “as converted” merger with an 80% probability, and (iii) a delayed but successful liquidity event per the option pricing method, with 10% probability. As of December 31, 2023, the valuation was based on the scenario (i) the bankruptcy/suboptimal sale scenario reflecting a zero return to common shareholders, with 20% probability (ii) a consummation of a business combination transaction with a SPAC, with 40% probability, and (iii) a delayed but successful liquidity event per the option pricing method, with 40% probability.
As of March 31, 2024, in determining the value under the “as converted” merger, we utilized (i) a diluted equity value of $37.0 million and (ii) all dilutive instruments are expected to convert or be exercised resulting in 6,366,837 total common shares outstanding.
As of December 31, 2023, in determining the value under the consummation of a business combination transaction with a SPAC scenario, we utilized the preliminary terms of the letter of intent with such SPAC that (i) the transaction based on diluted equity value of $38.8 million and (ii) all dilutive instruments are expected to convert or be exercised resulting in 6,369,633 total common shares outstanding.
The valuation under the scenario of a delayed but successful liquidity event per the option pricing method was determined by the fair value per share at a marketable basis applied by a discount for lack marketability (“DLOM”). The fair value per share at a marketable basis was determined using the interval option value allocation approach. The DLOM was determined based on Finnerty put option model, marketability factors and restricted stock studies.
The significant unobservable inputs into the valuation model include:
| • | the timing of potential events (for example, a consummation of a business combination transaction with a SPAC) and their probability of occurring; |
| • | the selection of guideline public company multiples; and |
| • | a discount for the lack of marketability of the common stock. |
An increase or decrease in any of the unobservable inputs in isolation could result in a material change. In the future, depending on the weight of evidence and valuation approaches used, these or other inputs may have a more significant impact on the estimated fair value.
Convertible Notes Valuation
As permitted under ASC 825, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825”), Adagio elected the fair value option to account for the October 2022 Convertible Notes, the April 2023 Notes, the November 2023 Notes and the 2024 Bridge Financing Note in order to measure those liabilities at amounts that more accurately reflect the current economic environment in which Adagio operates.
Adagio recorded the October 2022 Convertible Notes, the April 2023 Notes, the November 2023 Notes and the 2024 Bridge Financing Note at fair value at issuance and subsequently remeasures them to fair value at each reporting period. Changes in fair value are recognized as convertible notes fair value adjustment in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As a result of applying the fair value option, direct costs and fees related to the issuance of the October 2022 Convertible Notes, the April 2023 Notes, the November 2023 Notes and the 2024 Bridge Financing Note were expensed as incurred (i.e., not recognized as deferred costs). Refer to Note 3-Fair Value Measurements in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 for additional detail.
As of March 31, 2024, Adagio calculated the value of the convertible notes based on the equity value from 409(a) valuations, considering the expected payoff of the convertible notes upon different types of events.
Utilizing the PWERM, Adagio assessed the probability that the October 2022 Convertible Notes would be converted to common stock through the result of a mandatory prepayment, PIPE Financing, or no PIPE Financing and no Qualified Financing (refer to Note 7-Debt in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 for additional detail), weighted with a probability of 10%, 80% and 10%, respectively, as of March 31, 2024.
Utilizing the PWERM, Adagio assessed the probability that the April 2023 Notes and November 2023 Notes would be converted to common stock through the result of a liquidation event, PIPE Financing, or no PIPE Financing and no Qualified Financing, weighted with a probability of 10%, 80% and 10%, respectively, as of March 31, 2024. Adagio also implied a credit spread by calibrating the value of the April 2023 Notes at issuance to the par value and then adjusted the calibrated credit spread for seniority difference and the market related movements as appropriate.
Utilizing the PWERM, Adagio assessed the probability that the 2024 Bridge Financing Note would be converted to common stock as a result of a liquidation event, consummation of a transaction, or no transaction and no Qualified Financing, weighted with a probability of 10%, 80% and 10% as of March 31, 2024.
As of December 31, 2023, Adagio calculated the value of the convertible notes based on the equity value from 409(a) valuations, considering the expected payoff of the convertible notes upon different types of events.
Utilizing the PWERM, Adagio assessed the probability that the October 2022 Convertible Notes would be converted to common stock through the result of mandatory prepayment, Private Investment in PIPE Financing, or no PIPE Financing and no Qualified Financing, weighted with a probability of 20%, 40% and 40%, respectively, as of December 31, 2023.
Utilizing the PWERM, Adagio assessed the probability that the April 2023 Notes and the November 2023 Notes would be converted to common stock as a result of a liquidation event, PIPE Financing, or no PIPE Financing & no Qualified Financing, weighted with a probability of 20%, 40% and 40% as of December 31, 2023. Adagio also implied a credit spread by calibrating the value of the April 2023 Notes at issuance to the par value and then adjusted the calibrated credit spread for seniority difference and the market related movements as appropriate.
Additional assumptions used to estimate the fair value include: (i) the expected timing of the conversion, (ii) the amount subject to equity conversion, the sum of the notes’ principal and unpaid accrued interest, (iii) expected volatility, (iv) risk-free interest rate, and (v) the discount rate, based on the observed option-adjusted spread (OAS) data of traded bonds rated CCC-.
Adagio accounts for certain common stock warrants outstanding as warrant liabilities at fair value, determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the common stock value from 409(a) valuation. The assumption used to estimate the fair value include: (i) expected volatility, (ii) risk-free interest rate, (iii) expected dividend yield, and (iv) expected term.
The liability is subject to re-measurement at each reporting period and any change in fair value is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. See Note 8-Warrants in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 for additional information related to the warrants.
Adagio accounts for the SVB Term Loan at residual value on the date of issuance. The expected life of the SVB Term Loan is the contractual term ending on the maturity date. Adagio classifies the term loan as current liabilities within twelve months of the maturity date or when otherwise due. Interest expense is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss over the contractual term of the loan. See Note 7-Debt in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 for additional information related to the SVB Term Loan.
Convertible Preferred Stock
Adagio records convertible preferred stock at fair value on the dates of issuance, net of issuance costs. Upon the occurrence of certain events that are outside our control, including a deemed liquidation event, holders of the convertible preferred stock can cause redemption for cash. As the preferred stock is considered to be contingently redeemable, the preferred stock has been classified outside of permanent equity. The preferred stock will be accreted to its redemption value if the deemed liquidation events are considered probable of occurring.
Strategic Realignment of Resources and Corporate Restructuring
On December 1, 2023, Adagio’s management approved a strategic realignment of resources and corporate restructuring (the “RIF”) designed to reallocate capital, conformant to its business focus for the next two years. As part of the RIF, Adagio initiated a reduction in its current workforce of 20 employees, representing approximately 19% of Adagio’s employees, which was completed on December 15, 2023. In compliance with the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, Adagio has provided termination notices to affected employees and government authorities if required.
Adagio made no payment for severance or related benefit costs. Adagio made no payment of retention bonuses.
Emerging Growth Company Status
We are an emerging growth company (“EGC”), as defined in the JOBS Act. The JOBS Act permits companies with EGC status to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards, delaying the adoption of these accounting standards until they would apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period to enable us to comply with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting standards as of public company effective dates.
In addition, we intend to rely on the other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an EGC, we intend to rely on such exemptions, we are not required to, among other things: (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis); and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation-related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation to median employee compensation.
We will remain an EGC under the JOBS Act until the earliest of (i) the last date of our fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, (ii) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the rules of the SEC with at least $700.0 million of outstanding securities held by non-affiliates, or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the previous three-years.
Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We have operations primarily within the United States and we are exposed to market risk in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. Nonetheless, if our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, results of operations or financial condition.
Our revenue generated in Europe, as well as costs and expenses denominated in Euro, expose us to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar. We are exposed to foreign currency risks related to our revenue and operating expenses, along with certain intercompany transactions, denominated in Euro. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates may negatively affect our future revenue and other operating results as expressed in U.S. dollars. We do not believe that foreign currency exchange risk has had a material effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

John Dahldorf | | 68 | | Chief Financial Officer |
Hakon Bergheim | | 42 | | Chief Operating Officer |
Reference is made to the disclosure described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus in the section titled “Management of New Adagio Following the Business Combination,” beginning on page 292 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, which is incorporated herein by reference.
New Adagio intends to develop an executive compensation program that is designed to align compensation with New Adagio’s business objectives and the creation of stockholder value, while enabling New Adagio to attract, motivate and retain individuals who contribute to the long-term success of New Adagio.
Decisions on the executive compensation program will be made by the New Adagio compensation committee of the New Adagio Board.
New Adagio has adopted the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, the 2024 Key Employee Equity Incentive Plan and the ESPP.
The 2024 Equity Incentive Plan
New Adagio has adopted the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan. The 2024 Equity Incentive Plan enables New Adagio to provide stock-based incentives that align the interests of employees, consultants and directors with those of the stockholders of New Adagio by motivating its employees to achieve long-term results and rewarding them for their achievements and to attract and retain the types of employees, consultants and directors who will contribute to New Adagio’s long-range success.
The 2024 Equity Incentive Plan became effective upon approval by ListCo's stockholders immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and will remain in effect until the tenth anniversary of its effective date, unless terminated earlier by the New Adagio Board.
The 2024 Equity Incentive Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 4,472,593 shares of New Adagio Common Stock (the “Initial Share Reserve”), plus an annual increase on the first day of each year beginning in 2025 and ending in (and including) 2034 equal to the lesser of (A) five percent (5%) of the shares of New Adagio Common Stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (B) such smaller number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock as determined by the New Adagio Board or the compensation committee thereof (the sum of such shares of New Adagio Common Stock available for issuance under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, the “Total Share Reserve”).
Up to the Initial Share Reserve may be issued under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, in the aggregate, through the exercise of incentive stock options.
No non-employee director may be granted awards, during any fiscal year, with respect to shares of New Adagio Common Stock that, together with any cash fees paid to the director during the fiscal year, have a total value that exceeds $750,000 or ($1,000,000 in the fiscal year of their initial service as a non-employee director) (calculating the value of any awards based on the grant date fair value for financial reporting purposes), provided that such limitation shall be applied without regard to awards granted to the non-employee directors during any period in which such individual was an employee of New Adagio or was otherwise providing services to New Adagio other than in the capacity as a non-employee director.
If any outstanding award expires or is canceled, forfeited, is settled for cash or terminated without issuance of the full number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock to which the award related, then the shares subject to such award will again become available for future grant under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan. Shares tendered in payment of the option exercise price or delivered or withheld by New Adagio to satisfy any tax withholding obligation, or shares covered by a stock-settled stock appreciation right or other awards that were not issued upon the settlement of the award will again become available for future grants under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan. To the extent permitted under applicable law, awards that provide for the delivery of shares of New Adagio Common Stock subsequent to the applicable grant date may be granted in excess of the Total Share Reserve if such awards provide for the forfeiture or cash settlement of such awards to the extent that insufficient shares of New Adagio Common Stock remain under the Total Share Reserve at the time that shares of New Adagio Common Stock would otherwise be issued in respect of such award. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary described herein, shares of New Adagio Common Stock purchased on the open market with the cash proceeds from the exercise of options shall not be available for future grants of awards under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan. Until the termination of the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, any shares of New Adagio Common Stock repurchased by New Adagio with respect to performance stock awards or restricted stock awards at the same price paid by the holder or a lower price so that such shares of New Adagio Common Stock are returned to New Adagio will again be available for awards under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan. The payment of dividend equivalents in cash in conjunction with any outstanding awards shall not be counted against the shares of New Adagio Common Stock available for issuance under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan. If any of the actions taken above would cause an incentive stock option to fail to qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code, such action will not be taken.
Generally, substitute awards shall not reduce the Total Share Reserve (other than as required by Section 422 of the Code) and, in the event that a company acquired by New Adagio or any subsidiary or with which New Adagio or any subsidiary combines has shares available under a pre-existing plan approved by its stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, using the exchange ratio or other adjustment or valuation ratio or formula used in such acquisition or combination to determine the consideration payable to the holders of common stock of the entities party to such acquisition or combination) may be used for awards under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan and shall not reduce the shares of New Adagio Common Stock authorized for grant under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan; provided that awards using such available shares of New Adagio Common Stock shall not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made to individuals who were not employed by or providing services to New Adagio or its subsidiaries immediately prior to such acquisition or combination.
The New Adagio compensation committee will make appropriate adjustments to these limits in the event of certain changes in the capitalization of New Adagio.
A more complete summary of the terms of the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan is set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus in the subsection titled “The 2024 Equity Incentive Plan” in the section titled “Management of New Adagio Following the Business Combination” beginning on page 297 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. That summary and the foregoing description of the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.5 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
The 2024 Key Employee Equity Incentive Plan
New Adagio has adopted the 2024 Key Employee Equity Incentive Plan. The 2024 Key Employee Equity Incentive Plan enables New Adagio to provide enhanced stock-based incentives to each of Olav Bergheim, John Dahldorf, Alex Babkin, Hakon Bergheim, Tim Glynn, Ilya Grigorov, Nabil Jubran, Doug Kurschinski, and James L. Cox (the “Eligible Individuals”) that align the interests of such individuals with those of the stockholders of New Adagio by motivating such individuals to achieve long-term results and rewarding them for their achievements.
The 2024 Key Employee Plan became effective upon approval by ListCo's stockholders immediately prior to the Business Combination and will remain in effect until the tenth anniversary of its effective date, unless terminated earlier by the New Adagio Board.
The 2024 Key Employee Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 3,354,445 shares of New Adagio Common Stock (the “Share Reserve”).
Up to the Share Reserve may be issued under the 2024 Key Employee Plan, in the aggregate, through the exercise of ISOs.
If any outstanding award expires or is canceled, forfeited, is settled for cash or terminated without issuance of the full number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock to which the award related, then the shares subject to such award will again become available for future grant under the 2024 Key Employee Plan. Shares tendered in payment of the option exercise price or delivered or withheld by New Adagio to satisfy any tax withholding obligation, or shares covered by a stock-settled SAR or other awards that were not issued upon the settlement of the award will again become available for future grants under the 2024 Key Employee Plan. To the extent permitted under applicable law, awards that provide for the delivery of shares of New Adagio Common Stock subsequent to the applicable grant date may be granted in excess of the Share Reserve if such awards provide for the forfeiture or cash settlement of such awards to the extent that insufficient shares of New Adagio Common Stock remain under the Share Reserve at the time that shares of New Adagio Common Stock would otherwise be issued in respect of such award. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary described herein, shares of New Adagio Common Stock purchased on the open market with the cash proceeds from the exercise of options shall not be available for future grants of awards under the 2024 Key Employee Plan. Until the termination of the 2024 Key Employee Plan, any shares of New Adagio Common Stock repurchased by New Adagio with respect to performance stock awards or restricted stock awards at the same price paid by the holder or a lower price so that such shares of New Adagio Common Stock are returned to New Adagio will again be available for awards under the 2024 Key Employee Plan. The payment of dividend equivalents in cash in conjunction with any outstanding awards shall not be counted against the shares of New Adagio Common Stock available for issuance under the 2024 Key Employee Plan. If any of the actions taken above would cause an ISO to fail to qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code, such action will not be taken.
Generally, substitute awards shall not reduce the Total Share Reserve (other than as required by Section 422 of the Code) and, in the event that a company acquired by New Adagio or any subsidiary or with which New Adagio or any subsidiary combines has shares available under a pre-existing plan approved by its stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, using the exchange ratio or other adjustment or valuation ratio or formula used in such acquisition or combination to determine the consideration payable to the holders of common stock of the entities party to such acquisition or combination) may be used for awards under the 2024 Key Employee Plan and shall not reduce the shares of New Adagio Common Stock authorized for grant under the 2024 Key Employee Plan; provided that awards using such available shares of New Adagio Common Stock shall not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made to individuals who were not employed by or providing services to New Adagio or its subsidiaries immediately prior to such acquisition or combination.
The compensation committee will make appropriate adjustments to these limits in the event of certain changes in the capitalization of New Adagio.
A more complete summary of the terms of the 2024 Key Employee Plan is set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus in the subsection titled “The 2024 Key Employee Plan” in the section titled “Management of New Adagio Following the Business Combination” beginning on page 302 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. That summary and the foregoing description of the 2024 Key Employee Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the 2024 Key Employee Plan, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.6 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
New Adagio has adopted the ESPP. The purpose of the ESPP is to assist the eligible employees in acquiring a stock ownership interest in New Adagio in order to help eligible employees provide for their future security and to encourage them to remain in New Adagio’s employment.
The ESPP authorizes the issuance of up to 441,293 shares of New Adagio Common Stock, plus an annual increase on the first day of each year beginning in 2025 and ending in (and including) 2034 equal to the lesser of (A) one percent (1%) of the share of common stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (B) such smaller number of shares of common stock as determined by the New Adagio Board or its compensation committee.
A more complete summary of the terms of the ESPP is set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus in the subsection titled “The ESPP” in the section titled “Management of New Adagio Following the Business Combination” beginning on page 307 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. That summary and the foregoing description of the ESPP does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the ESPP, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.7 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
