Alpha Modus, Corp. (“Alpha Modus”), a technology company with a
core focus on artificial intelligence in retail, and Insight
Acquisition Corp. (“Insight” or “IAC”) (NASDAQ: INAQ), a special
purpose acquisition company, today announced they have entered into
a business combination agreement, dated as of October 13, 2023 (the
“BCA”), regarding Insight’s proposed acquisition of Alpha Modus
(the “Business Combination”).
Alpha Modus develops data-driven technologies in
retail to enhance consumers’ in-store experience at the point of
decision. Since its launch in 2014, Alpha Modus has maintained its
corporate mission of solving pain-points for retail businesses
through providing actionable insights found in unstructured data.
Alpha Modus intends to change the way brick and mortar businesses
serve consumers through its robust portfolio of patented AI
technology.
The proposed Business Combination reflects an
implied pro-forma enterprise value of approximately $175 million,
plus a potential $22 million earn out for Alpha Modus stockholders
and a $7.5 million earn out for Insight’s sponsor both payable
through the issuance of the combined company’s common stock valued
at $10 per share and based on share price targets for the combined
company’s common stock. The Business Combination is not subject to
a minimum cash closing condition. Post closing, Alpha Modus
shareholders would own approximately 70%, excluding the earn out,
of the combined company. The closing of the proposed Business
Combination is subject to a number of conditions, as set out in the
BCA, including but not limited to approval of the transaction by
Insight’s stockholders and Alpha Modus’ stockholders, the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) declaring Insight’s
registration statement on Form S-4 effective and other customary
closing conditions. The parties expect the proposed Business
Combination will close in the first quarter of 2024.
