Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As previously disclosed, at an Extraordinary General Meeting (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”) of Aurora Technology Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) held on July 27, 2023, the Company’s shareholders approved, among other things, (1) a special resolution to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association giving the Company the right to extend the date by which it has to consummate a business combination (the “Combination Period”) six (6) times for an additional one (1) month each time, from August 9, 2023 to February 7, 2024 and (2) the proposal to approve Amendment No. 2 to the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated February 7, 2022, to allow the Company to extend the Combination Period six (6) times for an additional one (1) month each time from August 9, 2023 to February 9, 2024 (the “Extensions”) by depositing into the trust account (the “Trust Account”) for each one-month extension the lesser of: (x) $135,000 or (y) $0.045 per share multiplied by the number of public shares then outstanding (each, an “Extension Payment”).

 

In connection with the Extensions, on July 31, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to ATAC Sponsor LLC, sponsor of the Company (the “Sponsor”), with a principal amount equal to $810,000 (the “Extension Note”). The Extension Note bears no interest and is repayable in full (subject to amendment or waiver) upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination, or (b) the date of the Company’s liquidation. Advances under the Extension Note are for the purpose of making Extension payments and repaying the Sponsor or any other person with respect to funds loaned to the Company for the purpose of paying Extension Payments, including the Extension Payment made in connection with the Initial Extension.

 

On July 31, 2023, pursuant to the Extension Note, the Sponsor delivered to the Sponsor a written request to draw down $135,000 for the purpose of extending the Combination Period from August 9, 2023 to September 9, 2023. Upon this written request, the Sponsor deposited $135,000 to the Company’s Trust Account on July 31, 2023.

 

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