Exhibit 10.1

 

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

 

THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made and entered into effectively as of July 25, 2023 (the "Effective Date"), by, between and among Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund (the "Investor"), Plum Acquisition Corp I., a Cayman Islands exempt company ("SPAC") and Plum Partners LLC, a Cayman Islands exempted limited liability company ("Sponsor"). Investor, SPAC and Sponsor are referred to in this Agreement individually as a "Party" and collectively as the "Parties."

 

WHEREAS, SPAC is a special purpose acquisition company that closed on its initial public offering on March 18, 2021, with 24 months to complete an initial business combination (a "De-SPAC");

 

WHEREAS, SPAC held a Special Meeting during which SPAC's shareholders voted to approve a proposal to extend the date by which the SPAC must consummate the De-SPAC from March 18, 2023 to March 18, 2024 (the "Extension");

 

WHEREAS, the Sponsor currently holds SPAC Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, initially purchased in a private placement prior to SPAC's initial public offering (the "Founder Shares")

 

WHEREAS, as of the date of this Agreement, SPAC has not completed a De-SPAC; and

 

WHEREAS, Sponsor is seeking to raise up to $1,090,000 to fund the Extension and to provide working capital to the SPAC (such amount, as adjusted in accordance with Section 1.3, being the "Investor's Capital Commitment").

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, which are incorporated in this Agreement as if fully set forth below, and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreement contained in this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties agree as follows.

 

Article I

 

SUBSCRIPTION AND DE-SPAC PAYMENT

 

1.1Capital Calls. From time to time, the SPAC will request funds from the Sponsor for working capital purposes or for the Sponsor to fund an extension payment pursuant to the SPAC's Memorandum and Articles of Association (each a "Drawdown Request"). On at least five (5) calendar days' prior written notice ("Capital Notice"), the Sponsor may require a drawdown against the Investor's Capital Commitment in order to meet the Sponsor's commitment to the SPAC under a Drawdown Request (each a "Capital Call"). The Capital Notice to the Investor shall include: (i) the total amount requested by the SPAC under the Drawdown Request and, (ii) the amount being called from the Investor. The aggregate amount of the Capital Calls shall not exceed the Investor's Capital Commitment. An amount of up to $750,000 of the Investor’s Capital Commitment shall be deemed the subject of a Capital Call concurrently with the execution hereof (without regard to any notice period), and an amount that is up to the balance of the Investor’s Capital Commitment may be called upon the filing of a registration statement by the SPAC or the surviving entity in relation to the business combination. No additional amounts may be called after the termination of this Agreement.

 

1.2Subscription. In consideration of the Capital Call(s) made hereunder, Sponsor will transfer one share of Class A Common Stock for each dollar the Investor funds pursuant to the Capital Call(s) hereunder (the "Subscription Shares") to the Investor at the closing of a De-SPAC transaction (the "De-SPAC Closing"). The Subscription Shares shall be subject to the Lock-Up Period as defined in section 5 of the Sponsor Letter Agreement dated March 2, 2023 (the "Letter Agreement"). The Subscription Shares shall not be subject to any additional transfer restrictions or any additional lock-up provisions, earn outs, or other contingencies and shall promptly be registered pursuant to the first registration statement filed by the SPAC or the surviving entity in relation to the business combination, which shall be filed no later than 30 days after the De-SPAC Closing and declared effective no later than 90 days after the De-SPAC Closing. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Letter Agreement to the contrary, Investor shall be released with respect to the Subscription Shares from any transfer or lock-up restrictions under the Letter Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement to the same extent as any other holder of Pounder Shares are released from such restrictions.

 

 

 

 

1.3Sponsor Commitment Rights. Each member of the Sponsor has the right to contribute any amount requested under each Drawdown Request ("Sponsor Capital Contribution"). The Sponsor Capital Contributions will be made at no more favorable terms than the Investor's Capital Commitment. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the ability of the SPAC or the Sponsor to enter into other agreements with each other or with other parties which shall provide for funding of the SPAC (through the issuance of equity, entry into promissory notes, or otherwise) outside of Drawdown Requests, provided that the terms of any such agreement between the SPAC or Sponsor with each other or any party or parties will be no more favorable than the terms under this Agreement.

 

1.4De-SPAC Payment. Any amounts funded by the Sponsor to the SPAC under a Drawdown Request shall not accrue interest and shall be promptly repaid by the SPAC to the Sponsor upon the De- SPAC Closing. Following receipt of such sums from the SPAC, and in any event within 5 business days of the De-SPAC Closing, the Sponsor or SPAC shall pay to the Investor, an amount equal to all Capital Calls funded under this Agreement (the "De-SPAC Payment"). The SPAC and Sponsor are jointly and severally obligated to make the De-SPAC Payment to the Investor. The Investor may elect at the De-SPAC Closing to receive such De-SPAC Payment in cash or shares of Class A Common Stock at a rate of 1 Class A Common Stock for each $10 of the Capital Calls funded under this Agreement. If the SPAC liquidates without consummating a De-SPAC, any amounts remaining in the Sponsor or SPAC's cash accounts, not including the SPAC's trust account, will be paid to the Investor within five (5) days of the liquidation.

 

1.5Default. In the event that Sponsor or SPAC defaults in its obligations under Section 1.2 or 1.4 of this Agreement and in the event that such default continues for a period of five (5) business days following written notice to the Sponsor and SPAC (the "Default Date"), Sponsor shall immediately transfer to Investor a number of shares of SPAC Common Stock owned by the Sponsor (the "Sponsor Shares") equal to 100,000 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount funded by the Investor and the denominator of which is $1,090,000 and a number of private warrants owned by the Sponsor ("SPAC Private Warrants") equal to 225,000 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount funded by the Investor and the denominator of which is $1,090,000 on the Default Date and shall transfer an additional 100,000 Sponsor Shares and 225,000 SPAC Private Warrants each month thereafter, until the default is cured; provided however, that in no event will Sponsor transfer any Sponsor Shares or SPAC Common Stock or warrants underlying any SPAC Private Warrants to Investor that would result in Investor (together with any other persons whose beneficial ownership of SPAC's Common Stock would be aggregated with Investor's for purposes of Section 13(d) or Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and the applicable regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including any "group" of which Investor is a member) beneficially owning more than 19.9% of the outstanding shares of SPAC Common Stock ("Transfer Limit"); provided further than any Sponsor Shares that were not transferred to Investor because the transfer of such shares would have exceeded the Transfer Limit shall be promptly transferred to Investor upon written request from Investor to extent that, at the time of such request, such transfer would no longer exceed the Transfer Limit. Any such Sponsor Shares or SPAC Private Warrants received pursuant to this Section 1.5 shall be added to the registration statement required by Section 1.2 of this Agreement if not then effective and if such registration statement has been declared effective, such Sponsor Shares or SPAC Private Warrants shall be promptly registered, and in any event will be registered within 90 days. In the event that Investor notifies Sponsor and SPAC of any default pursuant to this Section 1.5 Sponsor shall not sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any Sponsor Shares or SPAC Private Warrants, other than in accordance with this Section 1.5, until such default is cured.

 

1.6Wiring Instructions. Within five (5) calendar days of receiving a Capital Notice, the Investor shall advance the Capital Call amount specified in the Capital Notice to the Sponsor by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to the wiring instructions provided separately in advance to the Investor. For clarity, the aggregate amount of the Capital Calls funded under this Agreement will not exceed the Investor's Capital Commitment, as adjusted under Section 1.3.

1.7Reimbursement. On the De-SPAC Closing, the Sponsor will pay the Investor an amount equal to the reasonable attorney fees incurred by the Investor in connection with this agreement not to exceed $5,000.
