Amendment to PIPE Purchase Agreement

On June 26, 2024, Blue World Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“BWAQ” or “Blue World”), TOYO Co., Ltd, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“PubCo”) and NOTAM Co., Ltd., a Japanese corporation (“NOTAM”) entered into an amendment (the “Amendment to BWAQ PIPE Purchase Agreement”) to amend a certain share purchase agreement dated March 6, 2024 (as the same may be amended, restated or supplemented, the “BWAQ PIPE Purchase Agreement”) to potentially issue additional ordinary shares of PubCo (the “PubCo Ordinary Shares”) after the Merger Closing (as defined below) to NOTAM subject to the conditions set forth therein.

Pursuant to the BWAQ PIPE Purchase Agreement, NOTAM agrees to purchase a total of 600,000 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of BWAQ (the “NOTAM PIPE Shares”), at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $6,000,000. The Amendment to BWAQ PIPE Purchase Agreement provides that PubCo agrees to, conditioned on the completion of the PIPE Closing (as defined in the BWAQ PIPE Purchase Agreement) and the closing of the Business Combination (the “Merger Closing”), issue additional ordinary shares of PubCo (the “PubCo Ordinary Shares”) to NOTAM, on the following terms and conditions:

(i)

In the event that, the average closing price of each PubCo Ordinary Share (the “Closing Price”) with respect to all trading days in July 2024 is below $10.00 per share (such average Closing Price, the “First Tranche Average Closing Price”), NOTAM may, following the last trading day in July 2024 (the “First Tranche Cut-off Date”), elect to purchase from PubCo at a total purchase price of $100 such number of PubCo Ordinary Shares (“First NOTAM Tranche Additional Shares”) calculated as below:

Number of First NOTAM Tranche Additional Shares = (6,000,000/First Tranche Average Closing Price - 600,000) x Share Held Ratio X.

Shares Held Ratio X = Number of Remaining Converted Shares held by NOTAM as of the First Tranche Cut-off Date /600,000.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum number of NOTAM First Tranche Additional Shares that NOTAM is entitled to subscribe for under the BWAQ PIPE Purchase Agreement shall not exceed 500,000.

“Remaining Converted Shares” means the remaining the PubCo Ordinary Share acquired by NOTAM upon the conversion of the NOTAM PIPE Shares upon the Merger Closing purchased pursuant to the BWAQ PIPE Purchase Agreement, excluding any other PubCo Ordinary Shares acquired by NOTAM upon and following the Merger Closing, in the open market, from any other parties, or the Additional Shares, if any.

(ii)

In the event that the average Closing Price with respect to all trading days in July 2024 and August 2024 is below $10.00 per share (the “Second Tranche Average Closing Price”), NOTAM may, following the last trading day in August 2024 (the “Second Tranche Cut-off Date”), purchase from PubCo at a total purchase price of $100 such number of PubCo Ordinary Shares (“Second NOTAM Tranche Additional Shares”) calculated as below:

Number of Second NOTAM Tranche Additional Shares = (6,000,000/Second NOTAM Tranche Average Closing Price - 600,000 - First NOTAM Tranche Additional Shares) x Share Held Ratio Y.

Shares Held Ratio Y = Number of Remaining Converted Shares held by NOTAM as of the Second Tranche Cut-off Date/600,000.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum number of Second NOTAM Tranche Additional Shares that NOTAM is entitled to subscribe for under the BWAQ PIPE Purchase Agreement shall equal to 500,000 minus the number of the First NOTAM Tranche Additional Shares.

(iii)

In the event that the average Closing Price with respect to all trading days in July 2024 through September 2024 is below $10.00 per share (the “Third Tranche Average Closing Price”), NOTAM may, following the last trading day in September 2024 (the “Third Tranche Cut-off Date” and together with the Frist Tranche Cut-off Date and the Second Tranche Cut-off Date, each a “Cut-off Date”), purchase from PubCo at a total purchase price of $100 such number of PubCo Ordinary Shares (“Third NOTAM Tranche Additional Shares” and together with the First NOTAM Tranche Additional Shares and the Second Tranche Additional Shares, collectively, the “Additional NOTAM Shares”) calculated as below

Number of Third NOTAM Tranche Additional Shares = (6,000,000/ Third Tranche Average Closing Price - 600,000 - First NOTAM Tranche Additional Shares – Second NOTAM Tranche Additional Shares) x Share Held Ratio Z

Shares Held Ratio Z = Number of Remaining Converted Shares held by NOTAM as of the Third Tranche Cut-off Date/600,000

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum number of Third NOTAM Tranche Additional Shares that NOTAM is entitled to subscribe for under the BWAQ PIPE Purchase Agreement shall equal to 500,000 minus the sum of number of the First NOTAM Tranche Additional Shares and the Second NOTAM Tranche Additional Shares.

A copy of the Amendment to BWAQ PIPE Purchase Agreement is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”) as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Amendment to BWAQ PIPE Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Amendment to BWAQ PIPE Purchase Agreement.

Earnout Equities Vesting Agreement

On June 29, 2024, in consideration of the development and efforts by the relevant parties in completing the Business Combination, BWAQ, PubCo, the Sellers (as defined below), Blue World Holdings Limited, a Hong Kong private company limited by shares and the sponsor of BWAQ (the “Sponsor”), Vietnam Sunergy Cell Company Limited, a Vietnamese company (“TOYO Solar”), and other relevant parties entered into a certain Earnout Equities Vesting Agreement (the “Earnout Equities Vesting Agreement”) to, among the others, release all the founder shares of BWAQ (“BWAQ Founder Shares”) held by the Sponsor from being subject to potential surrender or cancellation as provided under the Sponsor Support Agreement (as defined below).

On August 10, 2023, the Sponsor entered into a Sponsor Support Agreement (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”) with BWAQ and PubCo, to agree to, among the others, provide certain support for the Business Combination. Pursuant to the Earnout Equities Vesting Agreement, the parties agree that 1,380,000 BWAQ Founder Shares are deemed vested and released from the Sponsor Earnout Equities (as defined in the Sponsor Support Agreement) and the Sponsor will have the right to covert such 1,380,000 BWAQ Founder Shares into the right to receive PubCo Ordinary Shares at the Merger Closing. Sponsor is also relieved of any of its obligations with respect to either the subscription of additional Class A Ordinary Shares of BWAQ or the surrender of additional Sponsor Earnout Equities under the Sponsor Support Agreement.

A copy of the Earnout Equities Vesting Agreement is filed with this Report as Exhibit 10.2 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Earnout Equities Vesting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Earnout Equities Vesting Agreement.
