As previously announced, on December 7, 2021, Oaktree Acquisition Corp.

The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the “Business Combination”. Defined terms included in this current report on Form 8-K the (“Current Report”) that are not otherwise defined in this Current Report shall have the same meaning as terms defined in the registration statement on Form F-4 (the “Registration Statement”) first filed by TopCo with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 20, 2021.
On June 7, 2022, OACB and Alvotech (the “Parties”) entered into the Second Amendment to the Business Combination Agreement (the “Amendment”) pursuant to which the Parties agreed to (i) extend the Termination Date from June 7, 2022 to June 21, 2022 and (ii) reduce the number of Business Days after the Approval Date and prior to the effectiveness of the First Merger Shareholder Resolution from seven (7) Business Days to six (6) Business Days (or such later date or as mutually agreed in writing by the Parties).
The foregoing description of the Amendment is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1, and the terms of which are incorporated by reference herein.
| Item 5.07 | Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. |
On June 7, 2022, OACB held an extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders (the “General Meeting”), at which holders of 20,009,407 ordinary shares (consisting of 13,759,407 Class A ordinary shares and 6,250,000 Class B ordinary shares) held of record as of March 22, 2022, the record date for the General Meeting, were present in person or by proxy, representing 64.32% of the voting power of OACB’s ordinary shares as of the record date for the General Meeting, and constituting a quorum for the transaction of business. The proposals listed below are described in more detail in the definitive proxy statement/prospectus of OACB, which was filed with the SEC on May 10, 2022 (the “Proxy Statement”). A summary of the voting results at the General Meeting is set forth below:

This Current Report on Form 8-K is not intended to form the basis of any investment decision Investors and other interested persons are advised to read the Registration Statement and other documents filed in connection with the Business Combination, as these materials contain important information about Alvotech, OACB, the Business Combination and the combined company after the Business Combination.

Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K may be considered “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or the future financial operating performance of OACB or Alvotech. For example, Alvotech’s expectations regarding future growth, results of operations, performance, future capital and other expenditures including the development of critical infrastructure for the global healthcare markets, competitive advantages, business prospects and opportunities including pipeline product development, future plans and intentions, results, level of activities, performance, goals or achievements or other future events; the timing of the announcement of clinical trial results, the timing of the closing of the Business Combination and expected first day of trading of TopCo’s securities on Nasdaq; and the potential approval and commercial launch of Alvotech’s product candidates. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expect”, “intend”, “will”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “predict”, “potential” or “continue”, or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by OACB and its management, and Alvotech and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain and are inherently subject to risks, variability and contingencies, many of which are beyond OACB’s and Alvotech’s control. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of negotiations and any subsequent definitive agreements with respect to the Business Combination; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against OACB, the combined company or others following this announcement of the Business Combination and any definitive agreements with respect thereto; (3) the inability to complete the Business Combination due to the failure to satisfy conditions to closing; (4) the inability to execute final agreement with respect to the loan facility with Sculptor on acceptable terms or at all; (5) the inability to consummate the transactions contemplated by the SEPA; (6) the ability to meet or maintain stock exchange listing standards following the consummation of the Business Combination; (7) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of Alvotech; (8) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain key relationships and retain its management and key employees; (9) costs related to the Business Combination; (10) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (11) the possibility that Alvotech or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (12) Alvotech’s estimates of expenses and profitability; (13) Alvotech’s ability to develop, manufacture and commercialize its product candidates in its pipeline; (14) actions of regulatory authorities, which may affect the initiation, timing and progress of clinical trials or future regulatory approvals or marketing authorizations; (15) Alvotech’s ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approval or authorizations of its product candidates, including the timing or likelihood of expansion into additional markets or geographies; (16) the success of Alvotech’s current and future collaborations, joint ventures, partnerships or licensing arrangements; (17) Alvotech’s ability, and that of its commercial partners, to execute their commercialization strategy for approved products; (18) Alvotech’s ability to manufacture sufficient commercial supply of its approved products; (19) the outcome of ongoing and future litigation regarding Alvotech’s products and product candidates; (20) the potential impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on the FDA’s review timelines, including its ability to complete timely inspection of manufacturing sites; and (21) other risks and uncertainties set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in OACB’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, in the Registration Statement or in other documents filed by OACB with the SEC. There may be additional risks that neither OACB nor Alvotech presently know or that OACB and Alvotech currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Nothing in this Current Report on Form 8-K should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Neither OACB nor Alvotech undertakes any duty to update these forward-looking statements or to inform the recipient of any matters of which any of them becomes aware of which may affect any matter referred to in this Current Report on Form 8-K. Alvotech and OACB disclaim any and all liability for any loss or damage (whether foreseeable or not) suffered or incurred by any person or entity as a result of anything contained or omitted from this Current Report on Form 8-K and such liability is expressly disclaimed. The recipient agrees that it shall not seek to sue or otherwise hold Alvotech, OACB or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, advisors or representatives liable in any respect for the provision of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K, or the omission of any information from this communication.
