The Merger Agreement also contains certain customary post-Closing covenants regarding (a) maintenance of books and records; (b) indemnification of directors and officers and the purchase of directors’ and officers’ tail liability insurance; and (c) use of trust account proceeds.

In addition, Everli agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement has become effective to obtain its required shareholder approvals in the manner required under its organizational documents and applicable law for, among other things, the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement, ancillary documents relating thereto and the Business Combination, including enforcing the Voting Agreement (as defined and described below) in connection therewith.

The parties made customary covenants regarding the registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed by Melar and Everli (the “Registration Statement”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to register the common stock of SPAC deemed reissued in the Domestication and the shares of Melar common stock to be issued as Merger Consideration under the Merger Agreement. The Registration Statement also will contain Melar’s proxy statement to solicit proxies from Melar’s shareholders to approve, among other things, (i) the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination, including the Merger and the Domestication; (ii) the issuance of any shares in connection with the Transaction Financing (as defined below) and Domestication, including the adoption and approval of the issuance of more than 20% of the outstanding Melar common stock; (iii) the effecting of the Domestication, including adoption of the new organizational documents of Melar after the Domestication; (iv) the adoption and approval of the new amended and restated organizational documents of Melar to be adopted upon the Closing; (v) the adoption and approval of a new equity incentive plan providing for awards for a number of shares equal to 15% of the aggregate number of shares of Melar common stock issued and outstanding immediately after the Closing (after giving effect to the Closing redemption by Melar’s public shareholders); and (vi) the appointment of the post-Closing board of directors.

The parties agreed that the post-Closing board of directors will consist of five directors, at least a majority of which will qualify as “independent directors” under the listing rules of Nasdaq. Four directors will be designated by Everli prior to the Closing and one director will be designated by Melar prior to the Closing.

Melar agreed to use its reasonable best efforts during the Interim Period to enter into financing agreements with potential investors (whether structured as a private placement of common equity, convertible preferred equity, convertible debt or other securities convertible into or that have the right to acquire common equity, as trust account non-redemption or backstop arrangements or otherwise), in each case on terms mutually agreeable to Everli and Melar, in an aggregate amount of up to $30,000,000 (the “PIPE Investment”). Melar also agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to introduce Everli to investors to enter into financing agreements for senior secured convertible debt investments into Everli, on terms mutually agreeable to Everli and Melar, for an aggregate amount equal to at least $10,000,000 (the “Bridge Financing”).

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws with respect to the parties and the Business Combinations. Melar’s and/or Everli’s actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements that are other than statements of historical facts. No representations or warranties, express or implied are given in, or in respect of, this Current Report on Form 8-K. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “potential,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions.

These forward-looking statements and factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement with respect to the Business Combination; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the parties following the announcement of the Business Combination and definitive agreements with respect thereto; (3) the inability to complete the Business Combination, including due to failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of Everli and Melar or other conditions to Closing; (4) the inability to obtain or maintain the listing of the public company’s shares on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange following the Business Combination; (5) the ability of Melar to remain current with its SEC filings; (6) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; (7) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of Melar and Everli after the Closing to grow and manage growth profitably and retain its key employees; (8) costs related to the Business Combination; (9) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (10) the inability of Everli to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the completion of the Business Combination; (11) the risk that additional financing in connection with the Business Combination, or additional capital needed following the Business Combination to support Everli’s business or operations, may not be raised on favorable terms or at all; and (12) other risks and uncertainties included in documents filed or to be filed with the SEC by Melar and/or Everli.

These filings will identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. There may be additional risks that neither Melar nor Everli presently knows, or that Melar and/or Everli currently believe are immaterial, that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. For these reasons, among others, investors and other interested persons are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K. Past performance by Melar’s or Everli’s management teams and their respective affiliates is not a guarantee of future performance. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on the historical record of the performance of Melar’s or Everli’s management teams or businesses associated with them as indicative of future performance of an investment or the returns that Melar or Everli will, or may, generate going forward.
