The information disclosed under Item 1.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01 to the extent required.

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously disclosed, on March 21, 2023, Stratim Cloud Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) entered into a membership interests purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, Force Pressure Control, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Force”) and each of the individuals listed on the signature page of the Purchase Agreement (the “Force Members”), relating to the contemplated business combination among the Company and Force (the “Contemplated Business Combination”).

Termination of Purchase Agreement

On June 27, 2023, the Company received a letter from Force purporting to terminate the Purchase Agreement and each of the transaction agreements entered into in connection with the Purchase Agreement (the “Ancillary Agreements,” and together with the Purchase Agreement, the “Transaction Agreements”). On June 28, 2023, the parties to the Purchase Agreement entered into a Termination and Release Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the parties agreed to mutually terminate the Purchase Agreement, effective immediately.

Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, the Company and Force have also agreed, on behalf of themselves and their respective related parties, to a release of claims relating to the Contemplated Business Transaction. Force has also agreed to pay the Company the sum of $250,000 due no later than five (5) Business Days from the date of the Termination Agreement.

Termination of Extension Loan

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Force previously agreed that it would loan to the Company (the “Extension Loan”) the amount of funds determined by the Company as necessary to increase the outstanding amount of the Trust Account to effect the extension of the deadline by which the Company must complete a business combination in accordance with its governing documents from March 16, 2023, to September 16, 2023, provided that such amounts of funds will not exceed $300,000 per month and $1,500,000 in the aggregate. As a result of the termination of the Purchase Agreement, the Company does not intend to request additional amounts of Extension Loan funds from Force.

Termination of Ancillary Agreements

As a result of the termination of the Purchase Agreement, the Purchase Agreement will be of no further force and effect and each of the Ancillary Agreements, including, but not limited to, the Sponsor Support Agreement (the “SSA”), dated as of March 21, 2023, by and among the Company, Stratim Cloud Acquisition, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, each of the parties set forth on the signature pages thereto and Force, will automatically be terminated in accordance with their terms or be of no further force and effect. Pursuant to the Termination and Release Agreement, the Company and Force have also agreed, on behalf of themselves and their respective related parties, to a release of claims relating to the Transaction Agreements and the transactions contemplated therein.

The foregoing descriptions of the Termination Agreement, Purchase Agreement and SSA do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the terms and conditions of the full text of the Termination Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which was previously filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 22, 2023 (the “Signing 8-K”) and the full text of the SSA, which was previously filed as Exhibit 10.2 to the Signing 8-K, each of which is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

The information disclosed under Item 1.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 7.01 to the extent required.

As a result of the termination of the Purchase Agreement, the special meeting of the stockholders of the Company, which was to be held for the purpose of voting on the Contemplated Business Transaction and proposals related thereto, will not take place, and the Company intends to withdraw the Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A originally filed with the SEC on June 14, 2023.

The information in this Item 7.01 is furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to liabilities under that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the filings of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings. This Current Report on Form 8-K will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any of the information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

As a result of the termination of the Purchase Agreement, the Company does not expect to be able to consummate an initial business combination by September 16, 2023, and pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem our public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to the Company to pay its franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish our public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
