Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Trust Agreement Amendment

 

On June 12, 2023, upon approval by the shareholders of Spree Acquisition Corp. 1 Limited (the “Company”) of the Trust Extension Proposal (as defined and described in Item 5.07 below), the Company entered into an amendment (the “Trust Agreement Amendment”) to the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated December 15, 2021 (the “Trust Agreement”), by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee, to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination (the “Extension”) from June 20, 2023 to March 20, 2024, or such earlier date as may be determined by the Company’s board of directors (such period of the Extension, the “Extension Period”).

 

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Trust Agreement Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Promissory Note

 

Further to the Company’s announcement on June 5, 2023, on June 12, 2023, upon the Company’s shareholders’ approval of the Extension Amendment (as defined in Item 5.03 below), the Company issued a promissory note (the “Note”) in a principal amount of up to $900,000 to Spree Operandi, LP and/or its wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary, Spree Operandi U.S. LP (collectively, the “Sponsor”). The Note represents the Company’s obligation to repay amounts to be loaned by the Sponsor to the Company for deposit into the Company’s trust account during the Extension Period. For each one-month period during the Extension Period, the Sponsor will loan an amount equal to the lesser of $0.04 per public share that remains outstanding and is not redeemed in connection with the Meeting, or $100,000 (such loans, the “Extension Period Loans”). The first such Extension Period Loan will be funded by the Sponsor on June 20, 2023, and additional such loans will be made by the Sponsor on the 20th day of each subsequent calendar month of the Extension Period until (but excluding) March 20, 2024.

 

Amounts outstanding under the Note bear no interest and are repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination, or (b) the date of the liquidation of the Company. If the Company does not consummate an initial business combination by the end of the Extension Period, any Extension Period Loans will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven.

 

Unpaid principal amounts outstanding under the Extension Period Loans may be converted by the Sponsor into warrants to purchase the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A ordinary shares”), at a conversion price of $1.50 per warrant. Each such warrant would have an exercise price of $11.50 per underlying Class A ordinary share and would otherwise be identical to the private warrants included as part of the private units sold by the Company to the Sponsor concurrently with the Company’s initial public offering.

 

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Note, which serves as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Extension Amendment and Conversion Amendment to Amended and Restated Articles

 

On June 12, 2023, the Company filed two amendments (the “Extension Amendment” and the “Conversion Amendment”) to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Amended and Restated Articles”) with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands.

 

The Extension Amendment extends the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination from June 20, 2023 to March 20, 2024, or such earlier date as may be determined by the Company’s board of directors.

 

The Conversion Amendment amends certain provisions of the Amended and Restated Articles in order to allow each holder of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B ordinary shares) to convert such shares into the Company’s Class A ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis at any point in time prior to the closing of a business combination, at the election of such holder.

 

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Extension Amendment and Conversion Amendment, copies of which are included in Exhibit 3.1 hereto, and which are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

(ii)a proposal to amend the Company’s Trust Agreement in accordance with the Trust Agreement Amendment, to extend the date by which the Company would be required to consummate a business combination from June 20, 2023 to March 20, 2024, or such earlier date as may be determined by the Board in its sole discretion (the “Trust Extension Proposal”);

(iv)a proposal to approve, by way of ordinary resolution of the holders of the Class B ordinary shares, the re-appointment of each of Eran (Rani) Plaut, Joachim Drees, Steven Greenfield, David Riemenschneider, and Philipp von Hagen as a director of the Company until the second succeeding annual general meeting of the Company and until their successors are elected and qualified (the “Director Election Proposal”).

Each such requisite majority was achieved.
