Item 1.02

Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As previously disclosed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in a Current Report filed on Form 8-K on March 9, 2023, The Growth for Good Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated March 7, 2023, by and among the Company, Zero Nox, Inc. (“ZeroNox”) and G4G Merger Sub Inc.

 

On September 12, 2023, the Company and ZeroNox mutually agreed to terminate the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, the Merger Agreement is no longer in effect. Therefore, the purpose for which the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company’s shareholders had been convened had ceased to exist and the meeting was adjourned sine die.

 

In connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement, ZeroNox has agreed to assume the Company’s rights and obligations pursuant to the promissory note for the principal amount of $2,530,000.00, dated as of June 12, 2023, for the benefit of G4G Sponsor LLC and the other parties thereto, made in connection with the extension of the period of time available to the Company to consummate an initial business combination from June 14, 2023 to September 14, 2023, subject to certain amendments to the payment terms thereto.

 

Item 8.01

Other Events.

 

On September 12, 2023, the Company issued a press release announcing that the Merger Agreement was terminated. As a result, the Company will liquidate its assets and wind up in accordance with its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Companies Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands, and will redeem all of its outstanding Class A ordinary shares that were included in the units issued to the public in its initial public offering, as the Company will not consummate an initial business combination within the time period required by its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Exhibit 99.1

 

The Growth for Good Acquisition Corporation Announces Termination of Merger Agreement with ZeroNox and Redemption of Public Shares

 

NEW YORK, NY, September 12, 2023 — The Growth for Good Acquisition Corporation (NASDAQ: GFGD) (the “Company”), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company, announced today that the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated March 7, 2023, by and among the Company, Zero Nox, Inc. and G4G Merger Sub Inc., has been terminated and that the Company is ceasing its business combination efforts.

 

On September 12, 2023, the Company and ZeroNox, Inc. mutually agreed to terminate the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, the Merger Agreement is no longer in effect. Therefore, the purpose for the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company’s shareholders has ceased to exist and the meeting is expected to be adjourned sine die.

 

Because the Company does not believe that it will be able to consummate a business combination within the remaining time available to it under its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the Company will now commence the process of liquidating its assets and winding up in accordance with applicable law. In accordance with the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the Company will redeem all of the outstanding Class A ordinary shares that were included in the units issued to the public in its initial public offering. The Company’s warrants and the rights included in the units issued to the public in its initial public offering will expire worthless.

 

For more information, please refer to the current report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission to be filed on September 12, 2023.
