PIPE Investment Terms and Structure
TDAC and ProLogium Holding Inc. finalized a subscription agreement with institutional investor Naetas Holding Limited on July 27, 2026, outlining a $50 million PIPE investment. Naetas agreed to purchase 5 million Class A ordinary shares of TDAC at $10.00 per share, supporting the business combination governed by the May 27, 2026 Agreement and Plan of Merger.
The transaction includes 5 million warrants granted at no cost, each exercisable for one Class A ordinary share at $11.50. These warrants align with TDAC’s existing public warrants, featuring a redemption trigger at $18.00 per share and a redemption price of $0.01 per warrant. The warrants exclude downward resets, ratchets, or price protection beyond standard anti-dilution safeguards.
Share Conversion and Merger Timeline
The subscription closing is scheduled one business day before the first merger under the Business Combination Agreement. Upon merger completion, Naetas’ purchased Class A shares will convert into ProLogium Class A shares, and outstanding warrants will convert accordingly, preserving investor economic rights within the combined entity.
Closing Conditions and Contingencies
Closing depends on customary conditions including accuracy of representations, covenant compliance by TDAC and ProLogium, absence of prohibitive laws or court orders, and satisfaction or waiver of Business Combination Agreement conditions. The merger must be scheduled immediately after subscription closing. Naetas will escrow the $50 million purchase price before closing. If the merger fails within the agreed timeframe, funds will be returned and issued securities canceled. The PIPE investment is contingent on the merger’s consummation.
Registration and Liquidity Commitments
ProLogium commits to filing a resale registration statement on Form F-4 or equivalent within 45 calendar days after the Business Combination closes, covering the resale of shares and warrants issued to Naetas, as well as shares from warrant exercises. The filing cannot precede the SEC’s effectiveness of the Business Combination Form F-4. ProLogium aims to have the registration effective within 90 calendar days (or 120 if under SEC review) post-filing, with provisions for extensions. If the Business Combination Form F-4 includes an effective resale prospectus for all registrable securities, this separate filing obligation is considered fulfilled.
Most Favored Nation Clause and Amendments
The agreement contains a most favored nation provision ensuring Naetas Holding receives equal or better terms if TDAC or ProLogium enter into more favorable PIPE agreements before subscription closing. This protects Naetas’ $10.00 per share price and warrant terms from being undercut by subsequent investors. Amendments or waivers that provide materially better terms to others must be offered to Naetas on substantially the same basis, subject to exceptions.
Potential Future Business Collaboration
Beyond financing, the Subscription Agreement contemplates good-faith discussions between ProLogium and Naetas Holding regarding potential collaborations such as product enhancements, new functionalities, and proof-of-concept initiatives. However, no binding commitments are established, allowing strategic exploration without obligating either party to specific projects.
Termination Provisions and Event Triggers
The agreement may terminate upon the earliest of: valid termination of the Business Combination Agreement, mutual written termination consent, or 30 days after the Business Combination Agreement’s Termination Date if closing has not occurred, except if delays arise from Naetas’ breach. These provisions provide clear exit mechanisms if the merger does not proceed, with automatic return of the $50 million investment to Naetas if closing fails within the specified timeframe.
Capital Infusion Strengthening Combined Entity
The $50 million PIPE investment by Naetas Holding significantly bolsters the financial position of the combined ProLogium entity. PIPE deals are typical in SPAC transactions, providing fresh capital and signaling strong institutional support. The $10.00 per share pricing aligns with standard SPAC PIPE valuations, while the free warrants offer additional upside potential, aligning investor and company interests.
Regulatory and Legal Compliance
Issuance of the warrants is subject to all necessary approvals and compliance with the Business Combination Agreement, warrant agreement, and applicable laws. The disclosure notes that the full Subscription Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Form 8-K on July 27, 2026, contains comprehensive terms and conditions, advising investors to review the complete document.
