- The filing refers to a minimum cash condition after any redemptions by MTAC public stockholders and to the possibility of raising additional financing, but does not provide a clear financing amount or liquidity balance.
Material Changes Versus the Prior Comparable Period
On April 4, 2023, MTAC, MTAC Merger Sub, and TriSalus amended the merger agreement. The amendment provides, among other matters, for MTAC to assume TriSalus restricted stock unit awards outstanding immediately before closing and convert them into restricted stock unit awards covering shares of MTAC common stock.
The amendment does not indicate that the business combination has closed. The related Form S-4 registration statement, which includes the proxy statement/prospectus, was not yet effective as of the filing.
