WHEREAS, on January 18, 2024, Parent entered into a Plan of Reorganization (as may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), among (i) Parent, (ii) Bowen Merger Sub, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), (iii) Shenzhen Qianzhi BioTech Company Limited, a company incorporated in the People’s Republic of China, and (iv) the Company;

 

WHEREAS, in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, subject to the terms and following the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth therein, the following transactions are expected to occur (among others detailed in the Business Combination Agreement): Merger Sub shall merge with and into NewCo, with NewCo being the surviving company of the merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Business Combination”);

 

WHEREAS, the Parties wish to enter into this Agreement, pursuant to which prior to or concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Business Combination Closing”), the Purchaser shall purchase up to 550,000 Parent Ordinary Shares or such number of Parent Ordinary Shares as shall, following the Business Combination, when combined with all other shares of Parent Ordinary Shares owned by the Purchaser and its affiliates, not exceed 9.9% (the “Ownership Limit”) of the total number of shares of Parent Ordinary Shares to be outstanding after the Business Combination Closing (the shares to be purchased, the “Forward Purchase Shares,” and such amount of shares, the “Maximum Amount of Parent Ordinary Shares”) for an amount per share no higher than the trust redemption price (“Redemption Price”); and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, representations, warranties and the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

 

Agreement

 

1. Sale and Purchase of Shares.

 

(a) Forward Purchase Shares.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Purchaser shall purchase the Forward Purchase Shares from Parent shareholders who have previously elected to have such Parent Ordinary Shares redeemed and have effectively reversed its redemption election, for no greater than the Redemption Price indicated by Parent’s periodic report most recently filed with the SEC (the “Prepaid Forward Purchase Price”). The Forward Purchase Shares purchased prior to or concurrently with the Business Combination will be “Purchased Shares.” Of the Purchased Shares, 50,000 of such shares will be deemed “Commitment Shares,” and the remaining number of Purchased Shares will be deemed “Prepaid Forward Purchase Shares.”. Purchaser shall deliver to Parent written notice no later than one (1) business day on which Nasdaq and commercial banks in the City of New York are open for business following the closing of the Business Combination detailing the number of Purchased Shares (the “Forward Closing”).

 

(i)             No later than the earlier of (a) one business day after the Business Combination closing and (b) the date any assets from the Trust Fund (as defined below) are disbursed in connection with the Business Combination, Parent and NewCo shall cause Purchaser to be paid directly, out of the funds so disbursed, a cash amount (the “Prepayment Amount”) equal to the number of Purchased Shares multiplied by the Redemption Price.

 

 

1 NTD: The Subscription Agreement will provide for registration rights.

(ii) Upon the sale of the Prepaid Forward Purchase Shares by the Purchaser, the Purchaser will remit the Reference Price (as defined below) per share to Parent, subject to adjustments and as provided in Section 1(a)(iii). On the date that is twelve (12) months after the Business Combination Closing (the “Maturity Date”), any Prepaid Forward Purchase Shares not sold by the Purchaser will be returned to Parent and any remaining amounts in respect of the Prepaid Forward Purchase Shares will be retained by Purchaser, less any amounts still owed to Parent from sales effected prior to the Maturity Date. Should all Prepaid Forward Purchase Shares be sold pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Maturity Date shall be accelerated to the date one day after the full settlement of such sales.

 

(iii) Until the Maturity Date, the Purchaser agrees to the following sales conditions for the Prepaid Forward Purchase Shares: (A) on a daily basis, all sales must either (I) equal or exceed the “Reference Price,” where the Reference Price will initially equal the Redemption Price and (II) at Parent’s option, may be reduced (but never increased) at any time to the lowest daily volume-weighted average price over the preceding ten (10) trading days. Any reset of the Reference Price shall be accomplished through a written notice from Parent to Purchaser pursuant to Section 8(a). Prior to the Maturity Date, the Purchaser may sell Commitment Shares in Purchaser’s sole discretion. For the avoidance of doubt the Commitment Shares may be sold at any price at the Purchaser’s sole discretion.

 

(iv) In the event that the Purchaser owns in excess of the Ownership Limit at the Business Combination Closing, Purchaser shall return to Parent a number of Prepaid Forward Purchase Shares such that, after the return of such Prepaid Forward Purchase Shares, it will own no more than the Ownership Limit after giving effect to the Business Combination. Purchaser shall retain the Redemption Price associated with any Prepaid Forward Purchase Shares returned pursuant to this paragraph.

 

(v) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall make no purchases of Forward Purchase Shares in the open market on or following the date that shareholders of Parent shall no longer be entitled to have their Parent Ordinary Shares redeemed in connection with the Business Combination (the “Redemption Deadline”), provided that Purchaser may effect purchases of Parent Ordinary Shares after the Redemption Deadline from a shareholder who has previously elected to have such Parent Ordinary Shares redeemed and has effectively reversed its redemption election, provided that the amount paid per Parent Ordinary Share is no higher than the Redemption Price.

 

(b) Additional Shares.

 

(i) To the extent that the Purchaser is unable to acquire the Maximum Amount of Parent Ordinary Shares prior to or concurrently with the Business Combination Closing due to the Ownership Limit, the Purchaser may, from time to time at Purchaser’s option, purchase a number of Parent Ordinary Shares equal to 550,000, less the number of Purchased Shares purchased prior to or concurrently with the Business Combination Closing, at the Redemption Price, pursuant to one or more subscription agreements to be entered into with Parent; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall not purchase an amount of Additional Shares such that, following the issuance of Additional Shares, its ownership would exceed the Ownership Limit unless the Purchaser in its sole discretion waives such Ownership Limit. For the avoidance of doubt, any Additional Shares purchased by the Purchaser will be deemed to be Purchased Shares for all purposes under this Agreement.

(ii) The Prepayment Amount due to the Purchaser with respect to the Additional Shares shall be netted against the purchase price for the Additional Shares, with the Purchaser being able to reduce the purchase price for the Additional Shares by the Prepayment Amount.
