Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously announced on December 22, 2023, Chenghe Acquisition I Co., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“Chenghe”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), with FST Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“CayCo”), FST Merger Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of CayCo, (“Merger Sub”) and Femco Steel Technology Co., Ltd., a company limited by shares incorporated and in existence under the laws of Taiwan with uniform commercial number of 04465819 (the “Company,” and together with CayCo and Merger Sub, the “Company Parties”) (the “Business Combination”).

Prepaid Share Forward Agreement

On December 27, 2024, Chenghe, CayCo and the Company entered into an agreement (the “Prepaid Share Forward Agreement”) with each of (i) Harraden Circle Investors, LP (“HCI”) and (ii) Harraden Circle Special Opportunities, LP (“HCSO”) (HCI and HCSO collectively, the “Seller”) for an OTC Prepaid Share Forward Transaction. For purposes of the Agreement, “Counterparty” refers to Chenghe prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and CayCo after the consummation of the Business Combination. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Prepaid Share Forward Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Prepaid Share Forward Agreement, the Seller intends, but is not obligated, to purchase up to a number of Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of Chenghe (“Ordinary Shares”) in the aggregate amount equal to up to 3,000,000, from third parties through a broker in the open market (other than through Counterparty), or Ordinary Shares previously redeemed by Seller that Seller reverses a previously submitted redemption request for prior to the closing of the Business Combination (the “Relevant Shares”). The Seller is also entitled to purchase up to 100,000 Ordinary Shares of Chenghe (the “Committed Shares”), which shall not form a part of the Relevant Shares under the Prepaid Share Forward Agreement, and the Sellers will not sell the Committed Shares at a price less than the Reset Price (as defined below) prior to 30 day anniversary of the closing of the Business Combination.

The Prepaid Share Forward Agreement provides that the Counterparty shall pay to the Seller an aggregate cash amount (the “Prepayment Amount”) equal to the product of (i) the number of Relevant Shares and the number of Committed Shares and (ii) the redemption price per share as set forth in Chenghe’s constitutional documents (the “Redemption Price”) directly from the trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company by no later than the earlier of (a) one business day after the Closing Date and (b) the date any assets from the Trust Account are disbursed in connection with the Business Combination.

From time to time and on any date following the Business Combination (any such date, a “OET Date”), Seller may, in its absolute discretion, terminate the Transaction in whole or in part with respect to any number of Relevant Shares by giving notice of such termination and the specified number of Relevant Shares (such quantity, the “Terminated Shares”). As of each OET Date, the Counterparty shall be entitled to an amount from Seller, and the Seller shall pay to the Counterparty, an amount equal to (a) the then-in-effect Reset Price, multiplied by (b) the Terminated Shares. Thereafter, the Number of Relevant Shares shall be reduced by the number of Terminated Shares. The Reset Price shall be initially the Redemption Price, and, from time to time in the Counterparty’s sole discretion, the Reset Price may be adjusted to the lower of the current Reset Price and the lowest daily VWAP over the prior 10 trading days. For avoidance of doubt, the Reset Price may only be adjusted downward.

The Prepaid Share Forward Agreement matures on the date falling 12 months after of the closing of the Business Combination (the “Maturity Date”).

At Maturity Date, the Seller shall return to the Counterparty the Relevant Shares, and in exchange of such return, shall be entitled to retain an amount equal to the number of Relevant Shares multiplied by the Redemption Price.

The foregoing summary of the Prepaid Share Forward Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Prepaid Share Forward Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

As of December 26, 2024, the redemption price per Ordinary Shares was approximately US$11.79 per share.
