ADJUSTMENTS TO CONVERSION PRICE

 

1. In case the Company, at any time or from time to time, shall subdivide its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares (by any share split, share dividend or otherwise), the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and, conversely, in case the Company, at any time or from time to time, shall combine its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares (by any reverse share split or otherwise), the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased. In the case of any such subdivision, no further adjustment shall be made pursuant to Section 2 below by reason thereof.

 

2. If, the Company, at any time or from time to time, shall effect any capital reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization or statutory exchange of Common Shares in such a way that holders of Common Shares shall be entitled to receive shares, securities or assets in exchange for Common Shares (in each case other than an Internal Restructuring) (a “Reorganization”), then, lawful and adequate provisions shall be made whereby the Investor shall thereupon have the right to receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the Common Shares immediately theretofore receivable upon the full conversion of any unpaid and unconverted Principal Amount then remaining outstanding, such shares, securities or assets as may be issued or payable in exchange for a number of outstanding Common Shares equal to the number of Common Shares immediately theretofore receivable for such full conversion of such unpaid and unconverted Principal Amount remaining outstanding had such Reorganization not taken place.

 

3. Prior to the IPO, except as provided in Section 4 below and except in the case of an event described in Sections 1 or 2 above, if the Company shall issue or sell, or is, in accordance with this Section 3, deemed to have issued or sold, any new Common Share for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale (the “Pre-Adjustment Conversion Price”), then, upon such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale), the Conversion Price shall be determined as follows:

 

NCP = OCP * (CS + (NP/OCP))/(CS + NS)

 

WHERE:

 

NCP = the new Conversion Price,

 

OCP = the Pre-Adjustment Conversion Price,

 

CS = the total outstanding Common Shares immediately before the issuance or sale of the new Common Shares plus the total Common Shares issuable upon conversion of all the outstanding preference shares and exercise of outstanding options and convertible securities,

 

NP = the total consideration received for the issuance or sale of the new Common Shares, and

 

NS = the number of new Common Shares issued or sold.

 

B-1

 

 

For purposes of this Section 3, the following shall also be applicable:

 

(i)Issuance of Rights or Options. If the Company at any time or from time to time, shall in any manner grant (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any options for the purchase of, Common Shares or any shares or security convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares (such warrants, rights or options being called “Options” and such convertible or exchangeable shares or securities being called “Convertible Securities”), in each case for consideration per share (determined as provided in this paragraph and in Section 3(v) below) less than the Conversion Price then in effect, whether or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, then the total maximum number of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Options, or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options, shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting of such Options, at a price per share equal to the amount determined by dividing (A) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting of such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus, in the case of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities and upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (B) the total maximum number of Common Shares deemed to have been so issued. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3(iii) below, no adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Shares or of such Convertible Securities upon exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Shares upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

 

(ii)Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company at any time or from time to time, shall in any manner issue or sell any Convertible Securities for consideration per share (determined as provided in this paragraph and in Section 3(v) below) less than the Conversion Price then in effect, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, then the total maximum number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities, at a price per share equal to the amount determined by dividing (A) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (B) the total maximum number of Common Shares deemed to have been so issued; provided, that (1) except as otherwise provided in Section 3(iii) below, no adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Shares upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and (2) if any such issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options to purchase any such Convertible Securities, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issuance or sale.

 

B-2

 

 

(iii)Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate. If, at any time or from time to time, there shall occur a change in (A) the maximum number of Common Shares issuable in connection with any Option referred to in Section 3(i) above or any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 3(i) or Section 3(ii) above, (B) the purchase price provided for in any Option referred to in Section 3(i) above, (C) the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 3(i) or Section 3(ii) above or (D) the rate at which Convertible Securities referred to in Section 3(i) or Section 3 (ii) above are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares (in each case, other than in connection with an event described in Section 4 below), then the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such event shall be readjusted to the relevant Conversion Price that would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities that are still outstanding provided for such changed maximum number of shares, purchase price, additional consideration or conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold, but only if as a result of such adjustment the Conversion Price then in effect is thereby reduced; and on the termination of any such Option or any such right to convert or exchange such Convertible Securities, the Conversion Price then in effect hereunder shall be increased to the Conversion Price that would have been in effect at the time of such termination had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such termination (i.e., to the extent that fewer than the number of Common Shares deemed to have been issued in connection with such Option or Convertible Securities were actually issued), never been issued or sold or been issued or sold at such higher price, as the case may be.

 

(iv)Share Dividends. If the Company, at any time or from time to time, shall declare or make, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Shares entitled to receive, a dividend or make any other distribution upon any shares of the Company payable in Common Shares, Options or Convertible Securities, any Common Shares, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution shall be deemed to have been issued or sold without consideration, the Conversion Price will be adjusted pursuant to this Section 3; provided, that no adjustment shall be made to the conversion price as a result of such dividend or distribution if the holders of the Note are entitled to, and do, receive such dividend or distribution in accordance with Article 42 of the Articles; and, provided, further, that if any adjustment is made to the Conversion Price as a result of the declaration of a dividend and such dividend is not effected, the Conversion Price shall be appropriately readjusted to the Conversion Price that would have been in effect had such dividend not been declared.

 

B-3

 

 

(v)Consideration for Shares. If the Company, at any time or from time to time, shall issue or sell, or is deemed to have issued or sold, any Common Shares for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the amount received or to be received by the Company therefor (determined with respect to deemed issuances and sales in connection with Options and Convertible Securities in accordance with clause (A) of Section 3(i) or Section 3(ii) above, as appropriate) as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Company. In case any Common Shares shall be issued or sold, or deemed issued or sold, for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company (the “Board”) shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration received or to be received by the Company (determined with respect to deemed issuances and sales in connection with Options and Convertible Securities in accordance with clause (A) of Section 3(i) or Section 3(ii) above, as appropriate) as determined in good faith by the Board and the holders of a majority of the Common Shares then outstanding. In case any Options shall be issued in connection with the issuance and sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integral transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, such Options shall be deemed to have been issued for such consideration as determined in good faith by the Board and the holders of a majority of the Common Shares then outstanding.

 

(vi)Record Date. If the Company, at any time or from time to time, shall take a record of the holders of its Common Shares for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Shares, Options or Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issuance or sale of the Common Shares deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

 

(vii)Treasury Shares. The number of Common Shares outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company; provided, that the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issuance or sale of Common Shares for the purpose of this Section 3.

 

(viii)Other Issuances or Sales. In calculating any adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 3: any Options or Convertible Securities that provide, as of the effective date of such adjustment, for the issuance upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof of an indeterminable number of Common Shares shall (together with the Common Shares issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof) be disregarded; provided, that at such time as the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange of such Options or Convertible Securities becomes determinable, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted as provided in Section 3(iii) above.

 

(ix)Certain Issues or Transfer Excepted. Anything in this Note to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to make any adjustment of the Conversion Price in the case of the issuance or transfer of (i) Common Shares upon conversion of this Note; (ii) Common Shares or other awards to acquire Common Shares under any option plan or employee incentive plan of the Company and/or outside of such option plan or employee incentive plan as approved in accordance with the Articles, or (iii) any Common Shares issued by the Company in exchange for the assets or shares of another Person in connection with the acquisition of such Person by the Company, whether by merger, purchase of all or substantially all of the assets of such Person, or otherwise, which acquisition has been approved in accordance with the Articles.

Dear Holder,

The Company has entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Acri Capital Acquisition Corporation (“ACAC”), Acri Capital Merger Sub I Inc. (“Purchaser”), and Acri Capital Merger Sub II Inc. (“Merger Sub”).

Upon and following the consummation of the Business Combination, Purchaser Common Stock will be traded publicly on the Nasdaq Stock Market. The closing of the Business Combination would have the same effect on the Note as if the Company had completed an IPO (as defined in the Note).

Interest Conversion Notice

 

Dear Holder,

 

We refer to the Convertible Promissory Note dated June 21, 2023 (the “Note I”) and the Convertible Promissory Note dated November 21, 2023 (the “Note II”) issued by the Foxx Development Inc. (the “Company”) to you.

 

On February 18, 2024, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Acri Capital Acquisition Corporation (“ACAC”), Acri Capital Merger Sub I Inc. (“Purchaser”), and Acri Capital Merger Sub II Inc. (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, on the Effective Time (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), by virtue of the Acquisition Merger (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) and the Business Combination Agreement, and without any action on the part of ACAC, Purchaser, Merger Sub, the Company, or stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, each share of common stock of the Company, par value US$0.001 per share (“Company Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be canceled and automatically converted into the right to receive, without interest, the applicable portion of the Closing Payment Stock as set forth in the Closing Consideration Spreadsheet (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement). “Closing Payment Stock” means 5,000,000 shares of common stock of the Purchaser, par value $0.0001 each (“Purchaser Common Stock”), which are equal or equivalent in value to the sum of $50,000,000 divided by $10.00 per share, among which, 500,000 shares in aggregate will be deposited to a segregated escrow account and to be released if and only if, prior to or upon one-year anniversary of the Business Combination Agreement, the U.S. Congress has approved the affordable connectivity program of no less than $4 billion; or otherwise be cancelled and forfeited without consideration. Upon and following the consummation of the Business Combination (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), Purchaser Common Stock will be traded publicly on the Nasdaq Stock Market. The closing of the Business Combination would have the same effect on Note I and Note II as if the Company had completed an IPO (as defined in the Note I and Note II).

 

On February 18, 2024, the Company issued a conversion notice pursuant to Section 4 of the Note I and Note II, respectively, each to convert principal amount under each of Note I and Note II into 66,667 shares Company Common Stock, at a price of $30.00 per share, immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) (the “Conversion”).

 

Pursuant to Section 1 of Note I and Note II, interest shall accrue on the outstanding unconverted and unpaid principal amount at 7.00% per annum and shall be compounded annually (collectively, the “Accrued Interest”). Pursuant to an Amend to Convertible Note Agreement by and between the Company the Company and you dated March 15, 2024, the Company and you agreed to settle all Accrued Interest into shares of Company Common Stock upon the Conversion and waive the lock-up requirement as set forth in the Note I and Note II (the “Note Amendment”). As of September 26, 2024, the Effective Time, the Accrued Interest under the Note I and Note II will be $291,890.41, collectively.

 

We hereby give you the Conversion Notice pursuant to the Note Amendment that in addition to the Note Conversion, the Accrued Interest of $291,890.41 will be automatically converted into 9,730 shares of the Company Common Stock, at a price of $30.00 per share immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Conversion”).

 

Upon the Conversion, we will issue 9,730 shares of Company Common Stock which will be counted into the issued and outstanding shares of the Company Common Stock at the Effective Time, which would be canceled and automatically converted into the right to receive, without interest, the applicable portion of the Closing Payment Stock as set forth in the Closing Consideration Spreadsheet pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement.
