Material Changes Versus the Prior Arrangement
The parties amended the business combination agreement to implement a revised transaction structure involving redomiciliation, a merger, contribution of the surviving subsidiary to New Forafric, and the subsequent acquisition of Forafric Agro Holdings Limited. The bond subscription deed was also amended to provide for novation and automatic conversion of the $12 million bonds upon closing.
Outlook, Risks, Contingencies, and Unusual Items
- Completion remains subject to the conditions and approvals contained in the definitive transaction documents; the filing does not state that the business combination has closed.
- The transaction may result in dilution from ordinary shares issued to existing Globis shareholders, bond investors, and other transaction participants, as well as from warrant exercises.
- The filing does not provide operational guidance or management forecasts.
- The source text refers in multiple places to agreements dated April 20, 2021, although the filing and exhibit descriptions identify April 20, 2022. This apparent date inconsistency should be verified against the filed exhibits.
