Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company’s and Oabay’s actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside the Company’s and Oabay’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement, (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company and/or Oabay following the announcement of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein; (3) the inability to complete the Business Combination, including due to failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of the Company or other conditions to closing in the Merger Agreement; (4) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement or could otherwise cause the transaction to fail to close; (5) the receipt of an unsolicited offer from another party for an alternative business transaction that could interfere with the proposed Business Combination; (6) the inability to obtain or maintain the listing of the post-acquisition company’s ordinary shares on Nasdaq following the Business Combination; (7) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; (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 and retain its key employees; (9) costs related to the Business Combination; (10) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (11) the possibility that Oabay or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; and (12) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the proxy statement relating to the Business Combination, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and in the Company’s other filings with the SEC. The Company cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

Key Transaction Terms

 

The transaction will be structured as a business combination involving the following mergers: (a) Bayview Merger Sub 1 Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Merger Sub 1”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oabay Holding Company, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“PubCo”), will merge with and into BAYA, with BAYA being the surviving entity (the “First SPAC Merger”), (b) immediately following the First SPAC Merger, BAYA will merge with and into Bayview Merger Sub 2 Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Merger Sub 2”), with Merger Sub 2 being the surviving entity (the “Second SPAC Merger”, and together with the First SPAC Merger, the “Initial Mergers”), and (c) following the Initial Mergers, Oabay Merger Sub Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Merger Sub 3”) will merge with and into Oabay, with Oabay being the surviving entity and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Acquisition Merger” and together with the Initial Mergers, the “Mergers”).

 

As a result of the Mergers, Oabay shareholders will receive ordinary shares of PubCo, valued at US$300,000,000.

 

Oabay will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain transaction financing in the aggregate amount of at least US$15,000,000, in the form of firm written commitments from investors reasonably acceptable to BAYA or in the form of good faith deposits made by investors for a private placement of equity, debt or other alternative financing, in each case, to Oabay or BAYA, on terms and conditions to be agreed by BAYA and Oabay (a “Transaction Financing”), and (b) as long as Oabay procures the Transaction Financing, BAYA shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain additional transaction financing to BAYA or PubCo on terms reasonably satisfactory to BAYA and Oabay.

 

Upon the closing of the Mergers, PubCo is expected to become a NASDAQ-listed public company trading under a new ticker symbol. Oabay’s executive management team will lead the PubCo. There can be no assurance that the Mergers will be consummated.
