Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Contribution and Business Combination Agreement

On November 20, 2023, Genesis Growth Tech Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Genesis SPAC”), entered into that certain Contribution and Business Combination Agreement (the “Agreement”), by and between Genesis SPAC and Genesis Growth Tech LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (“Genesis Sponsor”), pursuant to which, among other things, (a) Genesis Sponsor will contribute, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to Genesis SPAC all of Genesis Sponsor’s rights, title and interest in and to a portfolio of patents acquired by Genesis Sponsor pursuant to that certain Patent Purchase Agreement, effective as of September 21, 2023 (as amended by the First Amendment to Patent Sale Agreement dated November 14, 2023 and as it may be further amended from time to time, the “Patent Purchase Agreement”), by and between Genesis Sponsor and MindMaze Group SA, a Swiss corporation (“MindMaze”), and which includes (i) the Assigned Patent Rights, including the Additional Rights, as such terms are defined in the Patent Purchase Agreement, and (ii) all other intellectual property rights acquired by the Sponsor under the Patent Purchase Agreement, and (b) Genesis SPAC will pay to Genesis Sponsor one thousand dollars ($1,000) and will assume and agree to perform and discharge all of Genesis Sponsor’s obligations under the Patent Purchase Agreement, including the obligation to pay to MindMaze a purchase price of $21 Million (the “MindMaze IP Purchase Price”) on or prior to May 31, 2024 and the obligation to share certain revenues with MindMaze, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Patent Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction”).

Genesis Sponsor is the sponsor of Genesis SPAC, and currently owns 6,325,000 Class B ordinary shares of Genesis SPAC, representing approximately 98.7% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Genesis SPAC, and 8,875,000 warrants to purchase 8,875,000 Class A ordinary shares at $11.50 per share.

Pursuant to the Agreement, each of the parties to the Agreement has made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Agreement, including covenants by Genesis Sponsor not to dispose of or otherwise encumber the assets to be sold to Genesis SPAC.

Consummation of the Transaction is subject to customary conditions, including, among other things (a) the absence of any law, order or action restraining or prohibiting the Transaction, (b) approval of the shareholders of Genesis SPAC, (c) Genesis SPAC receiving a fairness opinion that the Transaction is fair to Genesis SPAC from a financial point of view, (d) MindMaze executing an extension for the payment of the MindMaze IP Purchase Price, (e) Genesis Sponsor having caused MindMaze to execute a consent to assignment of the Patent Purchase Agreement from Genesis Sponsor to Genesis SPAC, (f) Genesis SPAC having filed amended and restated memorandum and articles of association deleting the various provisions applicable only to special purpose acquisition companies (the “Amended SPAC Articles”), and (g) Genesis SPAC having executed a warrant exchange agreement for the exchange of the private warrants owned by Genesis SPAC for ordinary shares of Genesis SPAC.

The Agreement may be terminated by Genesis SPAC and Genesis Sponsor under certain circumstances, including, among others, (a) by mutual written agreement of Genesis SPAC and Genesis Sponsor, (b) by either Genesis SPAC or Genesis Sponsor if the closing has not occurred on or before on or before the latest of (i) December 13, 2024 and (ii) if one or more extensions to a date following December 13, 2024 are obtained at the election of Genesis SPAC, with Genesis SPAC shareholder vote, in accordance with the Genesis SPAC’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the last date for Genesis SPAC to consummate a Business Combination pursuant to such extensions and (c) by either Genesis SPAC or Genesis Sponsor if the Transaction is prohibited or made illegal by a final, nonappealable governmental order or law.

The board of directors of Genesis SPAC has unanimously (a) approved and declared advisable the Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, (ii) determined that the Transaction constitutes a “Business Combination” (as such term is defined in the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of Genesis SPAC), and (b) resolved to recommend approval of the Agreement and related matters by Genesis SPAC’s shareholders.

Genesis SPAC expects to file proxy materials as promptly as practicable after the date of the Agreement for the purpose of soliciting proxies from holders of Genesis SPAC’s ordinary shares sufficient to obtain shareholder approval of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, and the Amended SPAC Articles, at a meeting of holders of Genesis SPAC’s ordinary shares to be called and held for such purpose. The closing is expected to occur following the fulfillment or waiver of the closing conditions set forth in the Agreement.

A copy of the Agreement is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto. The Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of the Agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating such agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Agreement are also modified in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to stockholders and were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Genesis SPAC and Genesis Sponsor do not believe that these schedules contain information that is material to an investment decision.

INVESTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS OF GENESIS SPAC ARE URGED TO READ THESE MATERIALS (INCLUDING ANY AMENDMENTS OR SUPPLEMENTS THERETO) AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTION THAT GENESIS SPAC WILL FILE WITH THE SEC WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT GENESIS SPAC, GENESIS SPONSOR AND THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K and the documents incorporated by reference herein (this “Current Report”) contain certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as: “target,” “believe,” “expect,” “will,” “shall,” “may,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “would,” “positioned,” “future,” “forecast,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “outlook” and other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements made in this Current Report regarding the proposed transactions contemplated by the Agreement, including the benefits of the Transaction, integration plans, expected synergies and revenue opportunities, anticipated future financial and operating performance and results, including estimates for growth, the expected management and governance of the post-transaction company, and the expected timing of the proposed transaction. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on Genesis SPAC’s and Genesis Sponsor’s management’s current beliefs, expectations and assumptions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Actual results and outcomes may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

(1) the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Agreement;

(2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Genesis SPAC or Genesis Sponsor following the announcement of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein;

(3) the inability to complete the proposed transaction, including due to failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of Genesis SPAC or certain regulatory approvals, or satisfy other conditions to closing in the Agreement;

(4) the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Agreement or could otherwise cause the transaction to fail to close;

(5) the risk that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the proposed transaction;

(6) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of Genesis SPAC to grow and manage growth profitably;

(7) costs related to the proposed transaction;

(8) changes in applicable laws or regulations;

(9) the possibility that Genesis SPAC or Genesis Sponsor may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors;

(10) risks related to the organic and inorganic growth of Genesis SPAC’s business and the timing of expected business milestones;

(11) the amount of redemption requests made by Genesis SPAC’s shareholders; and

(12) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the final prospectus of Genesis SPAC for its initial public offering dated December 8, 2021 filed with the SEC and the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and when available, a definitive proxy statement and final prospectus relating to the proposed transaction, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and in Genesis SPAC’s other filings with the SEC. Genesis SPAC cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Genesis SPAC and Genesis Sponsor caution readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Genesis SPAC and Genesis Sponsor do not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in their expectations or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is based, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as may be required by applicable law. Neither Genesis Sponsor nor Genesis SPAC gives any assurance that either Genesis Sponsor or Genesis SPAC, or the post-transaction company, will achieve its expectations.

No Offer or Solicitation

This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any states or jurisdictions in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
