Plum Acquisition I said it entered into a non-redemption agreement with certain investors to rescind or reverse their redeemption of an unspecified number of shares. This follows approval by the SPAC’s shareholders of a merger with Veea, a cloud computing company.
Upon completion of the business combination, Plum will pay the backstop investors cash from its trust account in an amount equal to the number of backstop shares multiplied by the price per share for a pro rata portion of the amount then on deposit in the trust, minus $9.50.
Plum said it may enter into other non-redemption agreements with substantially similar terms with other investors or stockholders.
The transaction has an enterprise value of approximately $281 million, prior to an anticipated $50 million private financing by Veea.
Terms call for the issuance of 40,386,426 shares and 12,640,544 warrants to purchase shares.
In addition, following the closing, holders of Veea capital stock will have the right to receive up to 4.5 million earnout shares of the combined company’s common stock if certain trading price-based milestones are achieved during the 10-year period following the closing.
Plum I has already called a June 14 meeting for shareholders to vote on pushing the completion deadline back to Sept. 14. The current termination deadline is June 18.
