Business Combination Agreement

General Description of the Business Combination Agreement

On March 1, 2023, Capitalworks Emerging Markets Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“CEMAC”), announced the execution of a definitive business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Lexasure Financial Group Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (together with its successors, “Lexasure”), Lexasure Financial Holdings Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“Pubco”), CEMAC Merger Sub Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“SPAC Merger Sub”), Lexasure Merger Sub Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Company Merger Sub” and, together with SPAC Merger Sub, the “Merger Subs”), CEMAC Sponsor LP, a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership, in the capacity as the representative from and after the Effective Time (as defined below) for the shareholders of CEMAC and Pubco (other than the former Lexasure shareholders) (the “SPAC Representative”), and Ian Lim Teck Soon, an individual, in the capacity as the representative from and after the Effective Time for the former Lexasure shareholders (the “Seller Representative”), for a proposed business combination among the parties (the “Business Combination”). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, Pubco will serve as the parent company of each of CEMAC and Lexasure following the consummation of the Business Combination.

Under the Business Combination Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Closing”), among other matters, (a) SPAC Merger Sub will merge with and into CEMAC, with CEMAC continuing as the surviving entity (the “SPAC Merger”), and in connection therewith each issued and outstanding security of CEMAC immediately prior to the effective time of the Mergers (as defined below) (the “Effective Time”) will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be canceled, in exchange for the right of the holder thereof to receive a substantially equivalent security of Pubco, and (b) Company Merger Sub will merge with and into Lexasure, with Lexasure continuing as the surviving entity (the “Company Merger”, and, together with the SPAC Merger, the “Mergers”), and in connection therewith (i) the Lexasure shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be canceled in exchange for the right of the holders thereof to receive ordinary shares of Pubco (“Pubco Ordinary Shares”) and (ii) all convertible securities of Lexasure will be terminated; and (c) as a result of the Mergers, CEMAC and Lexasure will each become wholly-owned subsidiaries of Pubco, and Pubco will become a publicly traded company, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement and the documents and agreements ancillary to the Business Combination Agreement (the “Ancillary Documents”) and in accordance with applicable law (collectively, the “Transactions”).

Consideration; Earnouts

The total consideration to be paid by Pubco to Lexasure’s shareholders at the Closing (the “Merger Consideration”) will be an amount equal to $250,000,000 plus the amount of aggregate net proceeds actually received by Lexasure between signing and Closing of the Business Combination Agreement in respect of investments in Company securities. The Merger Consideration will be payable in new Pubco Ordinary Shares, each valued at a price per share equal to the price per share at which CEMAC public shareholders may redeem their CEMAC ordinary shares in connection with the Closing.

CEMAC public shareholders who do not redeem their CEMAC ordinary shares in connection with the Transactions will receive one Pubco Ordinary Share per CEMAC ordinary share.

In addition, the Lexasure shareholders will have the contingent right to receive up to an aggregate maximum of 5,000,000 additional Pubco Ordinary Shares (the “Earnout Shares”) as contingent consideration after the Closing based on Pubco, Lexasure and their respective subsidiaries achieving certain adjusted net income milestones for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2024 (each such fiscal year, an “Earnout Year”), based on the PCAOB audited consolidated financial statements for Pubco for each such fiscal year filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), as follows:

If the applicable milestone described above is not met during the applicable Earnout Year(s), the Lexasure shareholders will not be entitled to receive any Earnout Shares in respect of such milestone.

Representations and Warranties of the Parties

The Business Combination Agreement contains a number of representations and warranties made by the parties as of the date of such agreement or other specific dates solely for the benefit of certain of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement, in each case relating to, among other things, organization and qualification, governing documents, capitalization, authority, no conflicts and absence of litigation. These representations and warranties, in certain cases, are subject to specified exceptions and materiality, Material Adverse Effect (as defined below), knowledge and other qualifications contained in the Business Combination Agreement or in information provided pursuant to certain disclosure schedules to the Business Combination Agreement. “Material Adverse Effect” as used in the Business Combination Agreement means, with respect to any specified person or entity, any fact, event, occurrence, change or effect that has had or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the business, assets, liabilities, customer relationships, operations, results of operations, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of such person or entity and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or the ability of such person or entity or any of its subsidiaries on a timely basis to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or the Ancillary Documents to which it is a party or bound or to perform its obligations thereunder, in each case subject to certain customary exceptions. The representations and warranties made by the parties are customary for transactions similar to the Transactions.

The representations and warranties of the parties contained in the Business Combination Agreement terminate as of, and do not survive, the Closing, and there are no indemnification rights for another party’s breach thereof.

Covenants of the Parties

Each party agreed in the Business Combination Agreement to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to effect the Closing. The Business Combination Agreement also contains certain customary and other covenants by each of the parties during the period between the signing of the Business Combination Agreement and the earlier of the Closing or the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms, including but not limited to covenants regarding: (i) the provision of access to the parties’ respective properties, books and personnel; (ii) the operation of the parties’ respective businesses in the ordinary course of business; (iii) the provision by Lexasure of PCAOB-audited financial statements of Lexasure and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Lexasure Companies”); (iv) CEMAC’s public filings; (v) no solicitation of, or entering into, any alternative competing transactions; (vi) no insider trading; (vii) notifications of certain breaches, consent requirements or other matters; (viii) efforts to consummate the Closing and obtain third party and regulatory approvals and efforts; (ix) further assurances; (x) public announcements; (xi) confidentiality; (xii) indemnification of directors and officers and tail insurance; (xiii) use of trust proceeds after the Closing; (xiv) efforts to support a transaction financing; (xvi) causing Pubco to enter into employment agreements with certain employees of Lexasure prior to the Closing; and (xvii) approving a new equity incentive plan for Pubco to take effect following the Closing.

The parties also agreed to take all necessary actions to cause Pubco’s board of directors immediately following the Closing to consist of seven individuals, as follows: (i) one individual that is designated by CEMAC prior to the Closing, (ii) one individual that is designated by Lexasure prior to the Closing from among three qualified director candidates recommended by CEMAC to Lexasure, who will be required to qualify as an independent director under the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), and (iii) five other individuals that are designated by Lexasure prior to the Closing, at least three of whom will be required to qualify as an independent director under Nasdaq rules.

CEMAC and Pubco also agreed to jointly prepare with the assistance of Lexasure, and Pubco will file with the SEC, a registration statement on Form F-4 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”) in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of the securities of Pubco to be issued to the shareholders of CEMAC and Lexasure, respectively, and containing a proxy statement for the purpose of soliciting proxies from the shareholders of CEMAC for the approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the matters relating to the Transactions to be acted on at the general meeting of the shareholders of CEMAC and providing such shareholders an opportunity to have their CEMAC ordinary shares redeemed in connection with the Closing in accordance with CEMAC’s governing documents (the “Closing Redemption”).

Termination

The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing by either CEMAC or Lexasure if the conditions to the Closing set forth in the Business Combination Agreement (the majority of which are summarized above) are not satisfied or waived by June 3, 2023 (the “Outside Date”), provided that (a) if CEMAC seeks and obtains an extension to consummate its business combination beyond CEMAC’s current deadline of June 3, 2023, CEMAC has the right by providing written notice thereof to Lexasure to extend the Outside Date for one or more additional periods equal in the aggregate to the shortest of (i) six additional months, (ii) the period ending on the last date for CEMAC to consummate its business combination pursuant to such extension (after giving effect to any automatic extension rights that CEMAC may obtain in such extension where it can extend its deadline to consummate a business combination without requiring an amendment to its organizational documents), and (iii) such period as determined by CEMAC.

In addition, the Business Combination Agreement may be terminated by CEMAC prior to the Closing (i) if Lexasure has not delivered PCAOB audited financials to CEMAC within 45 days after the date of the Business Combination Agreement; (ii) if Lexasure has not delivered certain PCAOB reviewed quarterly financials to CEMAC within 50 days after the date of the Business Combination Agreement; (iii) if Lexasure has delivered the above-referenced Lexasure financials to CEMAC but such documents reflect a materially worse consolidated financial position of the Lexasure Companies as of the respective dates thereof, or materially worse consolidated results of operations or cash flows of the Lexasure Companies for the periods indicated therein, than is reflected in the applicable draft financial statements delivered to CEMAC prior to execution of the Business Combination Agreement for the corresponding periods; (iv) prior to the initial filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC, if CEMAC is not satisfied in is sole discretion with its continuing due diligence investigation of certain matters; or (v) after the initial filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC, if certain Lexasure Companies have not received approval from the applicable governmental authorities of the extension from July 1, 2023 to January 1, 2024 of the time by which such Lexasure Companies must comply with specified regulatory requirements.

The Business Combination Agreement may also be terminated under certain other customary and limited circumstances at any time prior to the Closing, including, among other reasons: (i) by mutual written consent of CEMAC and Lexasure; (ii) by either CEMAC or Lexasure if a governmental authority of competent jurisdiction has issued an order or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Transactions, and such order or other action has become final and non-appealable; (iii) by Lexasure for the uncured breach of the Business Combination Agreement by CEMAC or the SPAC Representative, such that the related Closing condition would not be met; (iv) by CEMAC for the uncured breach of the Business Combination Agreement by Lexasure, Pubco, a Merger Sub or the Seller Representative, such that the related Closing condition would not be met; (v) by either CEMAC or Lexasure if CEMAC holds its shareholder meeting to approve the Business Combination Agreement and the Transactions, and such approval is not obtained; (vi) by CEMAC if there has been a Material Adverse Effect on Lexasure or Pubco which is uncured or continuing; (vii) by Lexasure if there has been a Material Adverse Effect on CEMAC which is uncured or continuing; and (viii) by Lexasure if CEMAC’s Class A Ordinary Shares have become delisted from Nasdaq and are not relisted on the Nasdaq or the New York Stock Exchange within 60 days after such delisting.

If the Business Combination Agreement is terminated, all further obligations of the parties under the Business Combination Agreement (except for certain obligations related to confidentiality, effect of termination, fees and expenses, trust fund waiver, miscellaneous and definitions to the foregoing) will terminate, no party to the Business Combination Agreement will have any further liability to any other party thereto except for liability for fraud or for willful breach of the Business Combination Agreement prior to termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, solely in the event that there is a valid and effective termination of the Business Combination Agreement by CEMAC for the uncured breach of the Business Combination Agreement by Lexasure, Pubco, a Merger Sub or the Seller Representative, such that the related Closing condition would not be met, then Lexasure will be obligated to pay a termination fee of $1,000,000 to CEMAC.

Trust Account Waiver

Lexasure, Pubco, the Merger Subs and the Seller Representative have agreed that they and their affiliates will not have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in CEMAC’s trust account held for its public shareholders, and have agreed not to, and waived any right to, make any claim against the trust account (including any distributions therefrom).

SPAC Representative and Seller Representative

CEMAC Sponsor LP (the “Sponsor”), CEMAC’s sponsor, is serving as the SPAC Representative under the Business Combination Agreement and, in such capacity, will represent the interests of Pubco’s shareholders after the Closing (other than the former Lexasure shareholders) with respect to certain matters under the Business Combination Agreement. Ian Lim Teck Soon is serving as the Seller Representative under the Business Combination Agreement and, in such capacity, will represent the interests of the former Lexasure shareholders with respect to certain matters under the Business Combination Agreement, including with respect to the determination of any earnout due to the former Lexasure shareholders thereunder.

Governing Law

The Business Combination Agreement is governed by New York law and, subject to the required arbitration provisions, the parties are subject to exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in New York County, State of New York. Any disputes under the Business Combination Agreement, other than claims for injunctive or temporary equitable relief or enforcement of an arbitration award, will be subject to arbitration by the American Arbitration Association, to be held in New York County, State of New York.

The Business Combination Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of such agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties, covenants and agreements were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating such agreement. The Business Combination Agreement has been filed to provide investors with information regarding its terms, but it is not intended to provide any other factual information about CEMAC, Pubco, Lexasure or any other party to the Business Combination Agreement. In particular, the representations and warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the Business Combination Agreement, which were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties (including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Business Combination Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts) and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors and reports and documents filed with the SEC. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, or any descriptions thereof, as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of any party to the Business Combination Agreement. In addition, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements and other terms of the Business Combination Agreement may be subject to subsequent waiver or modification. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties and other terms may change after the date of the Business Combination Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in CEMAC’s or Pubco’s public disclosures.

Under the Founder Registration Rights Agreement Amendment, the Founder Registration Rights Agreement will be amended to, among other things, add Pubco as a party and to reflect the issuance of Pubco Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, and to reconcile with the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement.

Sponsor Letter Agreement

In connection with the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor and Lexasure entered into a letter agreement (the “Sponsor Letter Agreement”) pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to transfer to the Lexasure shareholders 500,000 of the Sponsor’s CEMAC Class B Ordinary Shares (or Pubco Ordinary Shares issued in exchange therefor in the Transactions) in the event that the Closing occurs and less than $20,000,000 in financing, in the aggregate, is raised by CEMAC, Pubco and/or Lexasure (other than from existing actual or potential investors of Lexasure, excluding Development Finance Institutions) prior to the later of the Closing and December 31, 2023 (including funds remaining in CEMAC’s trust account after giving effect to the Closing Redemption).

These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this report and on the current expectations of CEMAC’s and Lexasure’s respective management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of CEMAC and Lexasure. Some important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in any forward-looking statements could include, without limitation, changes in business, market, financial, political and legal conditions.

These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the Transactions; the failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Transactions; the ability of CEMAC prior to the Transactions, and Pubco following completion of the Transactions, to maintain (in the case of CEMAC) and to obtain and maintain (in the case of Pubco) the listing of CEMAC’s shares prior to the Transactions, and, following the Transactions, Pubco’s shares, on the Nasdaq; costs related to the Transactions; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the proposed business combination; the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Transactions, including the approval of the Business Combination Agreement by the shareholders of CEMAC; changes to the proposed structure of the proposed business combination that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations or as a condition to obtaining regulatory approval of the proposed business combination; the risk that the Transactions may not be completed by the stated deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the stated deadline; the inability to complete a transaction financing; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against CEMAC, Pubco or Lexasure related to the Transactions; the attraction and retention of qualified directors, officers, employees and key personnel of CEMAC and Lexasure prior to the Transactions, and Pubco following the Transactions; the ability of Pubco to compete effectively in a highly competitive market; the ability to protect and enhance Lexasure’s corporate reputation and brand; the impact from future regulatory, judicial, and legislative changes in Lexasure’s industry; the uncertain effects of the COVID-19 pandemic or other public health matters; competition from larger companies that have greater resources, technology, relationships and/or expertise; the impact of pricing pressure and erosion; supply chain risks; risks to Lexasure’s ability to protect its intellectual property and avoid infringement by others, or claims of infringement against Lexasure; the future financial performance of Pubco following the Transactions, including the ability of future revenues to meet projections; the ability of Pubco to forecast and maintain an adequate rate of revenue growth and appropriately plan its expenses; Lexasure’s ability to execute its business plans and strategy; risks related to the fact that each of Lexasure and Pubco is incorporated in the Cayman Islands and governed by Cayman Islands law; and those factors discussed in CEMAC’s final prospectus dated November 30, 2021, and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, in each case, under the heading “Risk Factors,” and set forth in other documents of CEMAC or Pubco filed, or to be filed, with the SEC. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties that will be described in the “Risk Factors” section of the registration statement on Form F-4 and related proxy statement/prospectus and other documents to be filed by CEMAC or Pubco from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. The foregoing list of risks is not exhaustive.

If any of these risks materialize or the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither CEMAC nor Lexasure presently know or that CEMAC or Lexasure currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect CEMAC’s and Lexasure’s current expectations, plans and forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Nothing herein 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 in this Current Report on Form 8-K, which speak only as of the date they are made and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the cautionary statements herein and the risk factors of CEMAC and Lexasure described above. CEMAC and Lexasure anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause their assessments to change. However, while CEMAC and Lexasure may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, they each specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, except as may be required by law. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing CEMAC’s or Lexasure’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
