INTRODUCTION

 

This Information Statement is being mailed on or about May 31, 2023, to the holders of record as of May 31, 2023, of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Patricia Acquisition Corp. a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), in accordance with the requirements of Section 14(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder. This Information Statement relates to an anticipated change in the composition of our Board of Directors (the “Board”) that is expected to occur in connection with a proposed merger to be completed by and among the Company, a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Serve Robotics Inc., a privately held Delaware corporation (“Serve”), pursuant to which Merger Sub would merge with and into Serve, with Serve continuing as the surviving entity (the “Merger”) and as our wholly-owned subsidiary. The Merger would occur pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization expected to be entered into by and among the Company, Serve and Merger Sub (the “Merger Agreement”). In connection with the Merger, the Company intends to change its name to “Serve Robotics Inc.”

 

Pursuant to the terms of the proposed Merger Agreement, it is expected that all outstanding shares of capital stock of Serve, will be converted into shares of our Common Stock, such that the holders of Serve equity before the proposed Merger will own approximately 87.8% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock after the Merger (before giving effect to a potential private placement offering of Common Stock by the Company that we expect will be consummated simultaneously with or immediately after the proposed Merger (the “Proposed Offering”)).

 

The proposed Merger Agreement contemplates a change in the composition of the entire Board at the closing of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), which will be no earlier than the tenth day following the date this Schedule 14F-1 is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and mailed to our stockholders. Pursuant to the terms of the proposed Merger Agreement, immediately following the Effective Time, the Board, which currently consists of Ian Jacobs and Mark Tompkins, will increase the size of the Board to five persons and appoint James Buckly Jordan, Ali Kashani, Touraj Parang, Ali Pourdad and Olivier Vincent as directors to serve on the Board, and Mr. Jacobs and Mr. Tompkins will resign from all officer and director positions with the Company, as applicable, immediately prior to such appointments taking effect.

 

The foregoing description of the proposed Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the actual Merger Agreement, which has yet to be completed and executed. We plan to file a copy of the executed version of the Merger Agreement as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K that will be filed with the SEC following execution of such agreement.

 

No action is required by our stockholders in connection with this Information Statement. However, Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder require that we mail to our stockholders of record the information set forth in this Information Statement at least ten (10) days prior to the date a change in a majority of our directors occurs (otherwise than at a meeting of our stockholders). Accordingly, the change in a majority of our directors will not occur until at least ten (10) days following the mailing of this Information Statement.

 

Please read this Information Statement carefully. It describes the terms of the proposed Merger Agreement and contains certain biographical and other information concerning our executive officers and directors after completion of the proposed Merger. All Company filings and exhibits thereto are available to the public at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

 

VOTING SECURITIES

 

As of the date of this Information Statement, our Common Stock is the only class of equity securities that is currently outstanding and entitled to vote at a meeting of our stockholders. Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote. As of May 31, 2023, there were 5,000,000 shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding. No vote or other action of our stockholders is required in connection with this Information Statement.

CHANGE OF CONTROL

 

Pursuant to the terms of the proposed Merger Agreement by and among the Company, Merger Sub and Serve, at the Effective Time of the Merger, Serve will become our wholly-owned subsidiary.

 

The transactions contemplated by the proposed Merger Agreement are intended to be a reorganization pursuant to the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

We anticipate that the shares of our Common Stock to be issued in connection with the proposed Merger will be issued in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

 

As described above, the proposed Merger Agreement contemplates a change in the composition of the entire Board at the Effective Time. Pursuant to the terms of the proposed Merger Agreement, immediately following the Effective Time, the Board, which currently consists of Ian Jacobs and Mark Tompkins, will increase the size of the Board to five and appoint James Buckly Jordan, Ali Kashani, Touraj Parang, Ali Pourdad and Olivier Vincent to serve on the Board, and Mr. Jacobs and Mr. Tompkins will resign from all officer and director positions with the Company, as applicable, immediately prior to such appointments taking effect. Because of the issuance of securities contemplated by the proposed Merger Agreement as well as the election of the directors proposed to take office as of the Effective Time, the consummation of the proposed Merger would result in a change-of-control of the Company.

 

Our completion of the transactions contemplated under the proposed Merger Agreement is subject to the execution and delivery of the proposed Merger Agreement by the parties thereto and to the satisfaction of the conditions to closing to be set forth in the proposed Merger Agreement, including, among other things, preparation, filing and distribution to our stockholders of this Information Statement. There can be no assurance that the proposed Merger Agreement will be executed and delivered or that the Merger will be completed.

 

DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

 

The following discussion sets forth information regarding our current directors and executive officer and our proposed directors and executive officers after completing the transactions contemplated by the proposed Merger Agreement.

Directors and Named Executive Officers Following the Merger

 

Upon the consummation of the Merger, the following individuals are expected to be appointed to the Board and executive management of the Company:

 

Name   Age   Position(s)
Executive Officers        
Ali Kashani   38   Chief Executive Officer and Director
Touraj Parang   50   President, Chief Operating Officer and Director
Euan Abraham   46   Senior Vice President, Engineering & Manufacturing
         
Non-Employee Directors        
James Buckly Jordan   43   Director

Executive Officers

 

Ali Kashani co-founded Serve Robotics Inc. (“Serve”) in January 2021 and has served as its Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board since then. Prior to co-founding Serve, he served as Vice President of Postmates Inc., an on-demand food delivery platform, from July 2017 to January 2021. Dr. Kashani received both his Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering and his Doctorate in Robotics at the University of British Columbia. Dr. Kashani has served on the Board since the Company’s formation and we believe he is qualified to remain on the Board due to the institutional knowledge he brings as Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and his business and robotics experience.

 

Touraj Parang has served as Serve’s Chief Operating Officer and as a member of the Board since October 2021, and was appointed President of Serve in July 2022. Prior to joining Serve, Mr. Parang worked at GoDaddy Inc. (NYSE: GDDY) from May 2014 to March 2021, where he began as Senior Director of Corporate Development and most recently served as Vice President of Corporate Development. Mr. Parang received his Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and Economics from Stanford University and his Juris Doctorate from Yale Law School. We believe that Mr. Parang is qualified to serve on the Serve’s Board due to his extensive experience with early stage startups and prior leadership role at a publicly-traded Company.

 

Euan Abraham has served as Serve’s Senior Vice President, Engineering & Manufacturing since January 2022. Prior to joining Serve, Mr. Abraham served as Senior Vice President, Hardware Engineering at Latch, Inc. (NASDAQ: LTCH) from October 2018 to September 2021.

Non-Employee Directors

 

James Buckly Jordan has served as a member of Serve’s Board since October 2021. Mr. Jordan founded Vebu Labs, a food robotics and automation solutions company, in October 2018 and has served as its Chief Executive Officer since then. He is also the co-founder of Miso Robotics, a food robotics company, which he co-founded in 2016 and for which he currently serves as the acting President and Chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr. Jordan also founded Canyon Creek Capital, a venture capital fund, in July 2010 and has served as its Managing Partner since then. He received his Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Indiana University and his Master of Business Administration from the University of California, Los Angeles Anderson School of Management. We believe Mr. Jordan is qualified to serve on our Board due to his early-stage investment experience in technology companies. 

 

Ali Pourdad has served as a member of our Board since the Closing of the Merger. Since March 2021, Mr. Pourdad has served as Chief Executive Officer of Quantfury Trading Limited, a global financial technology broker-dealer headquartered in the Bahamas (“Quantfury”). Prior to being named Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Pourdad was an advisor to Quantfury from September 2019 to March 2021. From January 2013 to September 2019, Mr. Pourdad served as Chief Executive Officer of Progressa, a consumer financial technology company. Mr. Pourdad is a Canadian Chartered Professional Accountant and holds a Bachelors degree in Finance from Simon Fraser University. We believe that Mr. Pourdad is qualified to serve on our Board due to his prior board experience and significant public company audit experience, including for NYSE and TSX listed companies.

 

Olivier Vincent has served as a member of our Board since the Closing of the Merger. Mr. Vincent co-founded and has served as Chief Executive Officer of Autozen Technology Ltd., a marketplace start-up in the automobile world since March 2020. Prior to joining Autozen, Mr. Vincent served as Chief Executive Officer of Spliqs, an AI technology company from January 2019 until March 2020.

Mr. Vincent holds a Masters of Engineering in Computer Science from Ecole Nationale Superieure de Techniques Avancées (ENSTA) Paris and a Masters of Business, Entrepreneurship from Hautes Etudes Commerciales (HEC) Paris. We believe that Mr. Vincent is qualified to serve on our Board due to his experience growing and managing technology companies.

 

Family Relationships and Other Arrangements

 

There are no family relationships among our proposed directors and executive officers. All of our directors will be appointed to the Board pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

 

Board Composition

 

The Board, which currently consists of Ian Jacobs and Mark Tompkins, will increase from two (2) authorized directors to five authorized directors immediately following the Effective Time. Our bylaws provide that the number of directors may be increased or decreased from time to time by action of the stockholders or of the directors. Directors are elected to the Board at each annual meeting of our stockholders and serve until their successors are elected or appointed, unless their office is vacated earlier. The term of office for each of the directors will expire at the time of our next annual meeting of stockholders.

 

4

 

 

In connection with the Merger, we expect that we will amend and restate our Certificate of Incorporation to, among other things, provide that the Board will be divided into three staggered classes of directors as follows:

 

  the Class I director will be Ali Pourdad, and his term will expire at the first annual meeting of stockholders to be held after the completion of the Merger;

 

  the Class II directors will be James Buckly Jordan and Olivier Vincent, and their terms will expire at the second annual meeting of stockholders to be held after the completion of the Merger; and

 

  the Class III directors will be Ali Kashani and Touraj Parang, and their terms will expire at the third annual meeting of stockholders to be held after the completion of the Merger.

 

We expect that our amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation and amended and restated Bylaws to be in effect upon the completion of the Merger will authorize only the Board to fill vacancies on the Board, and any increase or decrease in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of the directors. The classification of our Board may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control of the Company.

  

Transactions with Related Persons

 

Patricia Acquisition Corp.

 

On November 13, 2020, the Company issued (i) an aggregate of 4,750,000 shares of Common Stock to Mark Tompkins, a director of the Company, for an aggregate purchase price equal to $475 representing amounts advanced by Mr. Tompkins to the Company in connection with the formation and organization of the Company and (ii) an aggregate of 250,000 shares of Common Stock to Ian Jacobs, an officer and director of the Company, for an aggregate cash purchase price equal to $25, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in a common stock purchase agreement with each person. The Company issued these shares of Common Stock under the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

 

On November 13, 2020, in connection with advances made to cover costs incurred by the Company, the Company issued a promissory note to Mark Tompkins, a stockholder and director of the Company, pursuant to which the Company agreed to repay Mr. Tompkins the sum of any and all amounts that Mr. Tompkins may advance to the Company on or before the date that the Company consummates a business combination with a private company or reverse takeover transaction or other transaction after which the Company would cease to be a shell company (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act). The Company has used the proceeds from the note to cover its expenses. Although Mr. Tompkins has no obligation to advance funds to the Company under the terms of the note, it is anticipated that he may advance funds to the Company as fees and expenses are incurred in the future. As a result, the Company issued the note in anticipation of such advances. No interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal amount of the note unless an Event of Default (as defined in the note) occurs. In the event that an Event of Default has occurred, the entire note shall automatically become due and payable (the “Default Date”), and starting from five (5) days after the Default Date, the interest rate on the note shall accrue at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum. As of March 31, 2023, the total amount due under the note was $131,500. 

 

The Company currently uses the office space and equipment of its management at no cost.

 

Serve Robotics Inc.

 

As described above, our proposed new members of the Board are Ali Kashani, Touraj Parang and James Buckly Jordan each of whom is a current director of Serve, and non-employee directors Ali Pourdad and Olivier Vincent, who are not current directors of Serve. In addition, Ali Kashani, our proposed Chief Executive Officer following the Merger, is Chief Executive Officer of Serve; Touraj Parang, our proposed President and Chief Operating Officer following the Merger, is the President and Chief Operating Officer of Serve; and Euan Abraham, our proposed Senior Vice President, Engineering & Manufacturing following the Merger, is Senior Vice President, Engineering & Manufacturing of Serve.

Policies and Procedures for Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons

 

We do not have any special committee, policy or procedure related to the review, approval or ratification of transactions with related persons that are required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K, other than as required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

 

Director Independence

 

The Company is not a listed issuer whose securities are listed on a national securities exchange or an inter-dealer quotation system that has requirements that a majority of the board of directors be independent. We evaluate independence by the standards for director independence set forth in the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. Under these rules, a director is not considered to be independent if he or she also is an executive officer or employee of the Company. Accordingly, one of our current directors, Ian Jacobs, is not an independent director as he also serves as an executive officer of the Company. In addition, all of the directors, except Ali Kashani and Touraj Parang, to be elected following the proposed Merger would be considered to be independent directors under the standards for director independence set forth in the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules.

 

Board Meetings; Annual Meeting Attendance

 

The Company was formed on November 9, 2020, and selected December 31st as its fiscal year end. The Board did not meet and the Company did not hold an annual meeting during its fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The Board has conducted all of its business and approved all corporate action during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, through unanimous written consents of its directors, in the absence of formal board meetings.

 

Holders of our securities can send communications to the Board via mail or telephone to the Secretary at the Company’s principal executive offices. The Company has not yet established a policy with respect to our directors’ attendance at annual meetings. A stockholder who wishes to communicate with the Board may do so by directing a written request addressed to our President and director at the address appearing on the first page of this Information Statement.

 

Committees of the Board of Directors

 

As our Common Stock is not presently listed for trading or quotation on a national securities exchange or Nasdaq, we are not presently required to have board committees.

 

The Board performs the functions of the audit committee. The Company does not have a qualified financial expert at this time because it has not been able to hire a qualified candidate. Further, the Company believes that it has inadequate financial resources at this time to hire such an expert.

 

Due to our small size and limited operations to date, we do not presently have a nominating committee or other committee performing similar functions. As we have only two stockholders, we have not adopted any procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to the Board. We do not have a diversity policy.

 

Because the Board has not compensated our officers and directors since inception and has no intention of doing so prior to the Merger, we do not have a compensation committee or committee performing similar functions.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

 

Ian Jacobs currently serves as our President, Secretary, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and as a director, and Mark Tompkins currently serves as a director. We do not have a Chairman of the Board or a lead independent director. At present, we have determined that this leadership structure is appropriate for the Company due to our small size and limited operations and resources as a shell company.

 

The Board recognizes that the leadership structure and combination or separation of the President and Chairman roles is driven by the needs of the Company at any point in time. We have no policy requiring combination or separation of these leadership roles and our governing documents do not mandate a particular structure. This has allowed the Board the flexibility to establish the most appropriate structure for the Company at any given time.

 

After the closing of the proposed Merger and at least ten (10) days following the mailing of this Information Statement, the Board will be reconstituted to comprise five directors, James Buckly Jordan, Ali Kashani, Touraj Parang, Ali Pourdad and Olivier Vincent.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

The Company is not aware of any material proceedings in which any director, executive officer or affiliate of the Company, any owner of record or beneficially of more than 5% of our Common Stock, or any associate of any such director, officer, affiliate or security holder is a party adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

 

Stockholder Communication with the Board of Directors

 

Stockholders may send communications to the Board by writing to Patricia Acquisition Corp. 2255 Glades Road, Suite 324A, Boca Raton, Florida, Attention: Board of Directors. Following the proposed Merger, stockholders may send communications to the Board by writing to Serve Robotics Inc., 730 Broadway, Redwood City, CA 94022, Attention: Board of Directors.

 

Executive Compensation

 

Since our inception, we have not paid any cash or other compensation to our executive officers or directors. We have not established nor maintained any stock option or other equity incentive plans since our inception. In addition, we have not established nor maintained any plans that provide for the payment of retirement benefits or benefits that will be paid primarily following retirement, including, but not limited to, tax qualified deferred benefit plans, supplemental executive retirement plans, tax qualified deferred contribution plans and nonqualified deferred contribution plans. Similarly, we have no contracts, agreements, plans or arrangements, whether written or unwritten, that provide for payments to the named executive officer or any other persons following, or in connection with, the resignation, retirement or other termination of a named executive officer, or a change in control of us or a change in a named executive officer’s responsibilities following a change in control.

 

Compensation of Directors

 

No director of the Company has received any compensation of any nature on account of services rendered in such capacity. We have not established a policy to provide compensation to our directors for their respective services in such capacity.

 

Employment Agreements

 

We have no employment agreements with our executive officers.

 

Equity Compensation Plan

 

In connection with the proposed Merger, we expect that all of Serve’s outstanding warrants, options and restricted stock units will be exchanged for new warrants, options and restricted stock units, as applicable, exercisable for shares of our Common Stock. In connection with the Merger we expect to adopt a new equity incentive plan proposed by Serve that would be effective upon completion of the proposed Merger.
