Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously reported, on January 25, 2022, Sports Ventures Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“SVAC”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as amended, the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Prime Focus World N.V., a public limited liability company incorporated in the Netherlands (“DNEG”), PF Overseas Limited, a limited liability company incorporated in Mauritius (“PF Overseas”), Prime Focus 3D Cooperatief U.A., a Dutch cooperative association (“Dutch Co-op”), and AKICV LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sponsor”) (collectively, the “Parties”).

On June 15, 2022, the Parties entered into a Termination and Settlement Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”), pursuant to which, the Parties mutually agreed to terminate the Business Combination Agreement consistent with Section 9.01(a) of the Business Combination Agreement. Their decision took into account current market conditions, the general difficulties facing special purpose acquisition companies, and other market factors. The termination of the Business Combination Agreement became effective as of such date.

As a result of the Termination Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement is of no further force and effect, the Parties have released all existing claims that they may presently have against one another arising out of the Business Combination Agreement, and the agreements entered into in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, including, but not limited to, (i) the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, by and among SVAC and holders set forth on Exhibit A thereto, (ii) the Sponsor Support Agreement, by and among SVAC, DNEG and the Sponsor, (iii) the Backstop Agreement, by and among SVAC, DNEG and the Sponsor, (iv) the Stockholder Support Agreements, (v) the PFL Agreement and (vi) the Subscription Agreements by and among SVAC and certain institutional and private investors, in each case as defined in the Business Combination Agreement, have also been terminated and are no longer be effective, as applicable, in accordance with their respective terms. In connection with the execution of the Termination Agreement, DNEG has paid a fee equal to One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) to Sponsor.

SVAC will consider other acquisition opportunities, while recognizing existing market conditions and the limited remaining time for SVAC to consummate a business combination, which must occur by January 5, 2023.

The foregoing description of the Termination Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, which was previously filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission by SVAC on January 25, 2022, and the Termination Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, each of which is incorporated by reference herein.
