On July 15, 2024, 2023, Maquia Capital Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Maquia” or “SPAC”), Maquia Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned direct subsidiary of SPAC (“Merger Sub”), and VelociumVelocium Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Velocium” or the “Company”), entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), pursuant to which Maquia and Velocium agreed to combine. Capitalized terms used in this Current Report on Form 8-K but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Business Combination Agreement.

Business Combination Agreement

Structure of the Transaction

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, on the date (the “Closing Date”) of the closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Proposed Transactions”), Merger Sub, a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Maquia, will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Maquia (the “Surviving Corporation”).

Consideration

Pursuant to the Merger, a number of shares of common stock of SPAC (“New SPAC Common Stock”) equal to $445,000,000 divided by the price per share payable to SPAC’s public stockholders who properly exercise their redemption rights in connection with the vote by SPAC’s public stockholders to consider the Proposed Transactions shall be issued to holders of Velocium’s outstanding shares of common stock and preferred stock or allocated to holders of certain of Velocium’s options for issuance upon exercise thereof (the “SPAC Redemption Price”). All of Velocium’s options that are outstanding immediately prior to the Closing shall convert into options exercisable for New SPAC Common Stock.

Proxy Statement; Registration Statement

The Business Combination Agreement provides that, as promptly as practicable after the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, SPAC and the Company will prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a joint consent solicitation/proxy statement (as amended or supplemented, the “Proxy Statement”) to be sent to the stockholders of SPAC and to the stockholders of the Company relating to (i) with respect to the Company’s stockholders, the action to be taken by certain stockholders of the Company pursuant to the Written Consent (as defined below) and (ii) with respect to SPAC’s stockholders, the special meeting of SPAC’s stockholders (the “SPAC Stockholders’ Meeting”) to be held to consider approval and adoption of (1) the Business Combination Agreement and the Merger, (2) the issuance of New SPAC Common Stock as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, (3) the second amended and restated SPAC Certificate of Incorporation as set forth on Exhibit B-1 of the Business Combination Agreement, (4) the Stock Incentive Plan (as defined below) and (5) any other proposals the parties deem necessary to effectuate the Proposed Transactions (collectively, the “SPAC Proposals”). In addition, SPAC will prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 (together with all amendments thereto, the “Registration Statement”), in which the Proxy Statement will be included, in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) of the shares of New SPAC Common Stock (i) to be issued to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement and (ii) held by the stockholders of SPAC immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Stockholder Approvals

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, SPAC will call and hold the SPAC Stockholders’ Meeting as promptly as practicable after the date on which the Registration Statement becomes effective for the purpose of voting solely upon the SPAC Proposals, and SPAC will use its reasonable best efforts to hold the SPAC Stockholders’ Meeting as soon as practicable after the date on which the Registration Statement becomes effective (but in any event no later than twenty-five (25) days after the date on which the Proxy Statement is mailed to stockholders of SPAC). SPAC will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the approval of the SPAC Proposals at the SPAC Stockholders’ Meeting, including by soliciting from its stockholders proxies as promptly as possible in favor of the SPAC Proposals, and will take all other action necessary or advisable to secure the required vote or consent of its stockholders. The SPAC Board will recommend to its stockholders that they approve the SPAC Proposals and will include such recommendation in the Proxy Statement.

As promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement becomes effective, the Company will seek the irrevocable written consent of holders of capital stock of the Company sufficient to approve the Business Combination in favor of the approval and adoption of the Business Combination Agreement, the Merger and the other Proposed Transactions (the “Written Consent”).

Stock Exchange Listing

SPAC will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of New SPAC Common Stock issued in connection with the Proposed Transactions to be approved for listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) at Closing. During the period from the date of the Business Combination Agreement until the Closing (the “Interim Period”), SPAC will use its reasonable best efforts to keep the SPAC’s Units, Class A Common Stock and SPAC Warrants listed for trading on Nasdaq.

PIPE Financing

During the Interim Period, SPAC may execute subscription agreements (each, a “PIPE Subscription Agreement”) with certain investors (the “PIPE Investors”) mutually agreed by SPAC and the Company pursuant to which SPAC would issue and sell shares of SPAC’s Class A common stock to such PIPE Investors on the Closing Date, at such prices and on such other terms as may be set forth in the PIPE Subscription Agreements (the “PIPE Financing”); provided that unless otherwise agreed by SPAC and the Company in writing, (i) no such PIPE Subscription Agreement will provide for a purchase price of shares of SPAC Class A common stock at a price less than the SPAC Redemption Price per share of SPAC Class A common stock (including any discounts, rebates, equity kickers or promote), and (ii) no such PIPE Subscription Agreement will provide for the issuance of any equity securities of SPAC other than shares of SPAC Class A common stock.

SPAC Extension

The Business Combination Agreement provides that, unless the Closing has occurred or the Business Combination Agreement has otherwise been terminated, (i) prior to August 7, 2024, SPAC will make, or cause SPAC’s sponsor, Maquia Investments North America, LLC (“Sponsor”) to make, the deposits into SPAC’s trust account necessary to extend the deadline by which SPAC must complete its initial business combination (the “SPAC Business Combination Deadline”) to August 7, 2024 as set forth in the proxy statement filed by SPAC on May 5, 2023 and SPAC’s organizational documents and (ii) from and after August 7, 2024, SPAC will use commercially reasonable efforts to take any and all actions necessary, including filing a proxy statement, amending SPAC’s organizational documents and obtaining the necessary approval from SPAC’s stockholders, to further extend the SPAC Business Combination Deadline after August 7, 2024 until a date mutually agreed in writing between SPAC and the Company.
