Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration |
On January 2, 2025 (the "Closing"), Mars Acquisition Corp. completed a business combination (the "Business Combination") with ScanTech Idenification Beam Systems, LLC ("ScanTech"), with ScanTech surviving the merger as a subsidiary of ScanTech AI Systems Inc. (the "Issuer"). At the Closing, each issued and outstanding unit of Scantech was cancelled and exchanged for shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Issuer (the "Common Stock"). In connection with the Business Combination, Seaport Group SIBS LLC ("SIBS") received (i) an aggregate of 5,554,792 shares of Common Stock as a portion of the merger consideration, and (ii) warrants to purchase 3 million shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $0.01 per share (the "Warrants") in exchange for forfeiting certain of its units of ScanTech at Closing. SIBS is managed by Seaport.
On December 31, 2024, SIBS and the Issuer entered into a senior unsecured promissory note (the "Promissory Note"), pursuant to which SIBS provided the Issuer with an investment of $1 million as transaction financing in connection with the Business Combination. SIBS elected to convert the Promissory Note into shares of Common Stock, and on February 18, 2025 received 303,951 shares of Common Stock pursuant to such conversion.
From time to time prior to the Business Combination, SIBS extended lines of credit to ScanTech (the "Credit Facilities"). At the time of the extensions of the lines of credit, SIBS entered into an agreement with ScanTech and the Issuer pursuant to which the Issuer agreed to issue to SIBS one share of Common Stock for every dollar of credit extended, resulting in the issuance by the Issuer to SIBS of an aggregate of 2,249,230 shares of Common Stock on February 28, 2025.
On March 31, 2025, the Issuer, ScanTech and SIBS entered into an Amendment to Seaport Bridge Loans, pursuant to which the parties agreed to terminate a Credit Facility in the amount of $2,250,000 provided by SIBS to ScanTech, as well as several loans provided by SIBS to ScanTech, in exchange for an aggregate of 5,350,000 shares of Common Stock that were issued to SIBS on April 17, 2025. The Amendment to Seaport Bridge Loans is described in Item 6 to this Schedule 13D, which such description is incorporated into this Item 3 by reference.
On April 2, 2025, pursuant to the Amendment to Seaport Bridge Loans, SIBS exercised the Warrants for an aggregate of 3 million shares of Common Stock.
On April 2, 2025, SIBS was issued an additional 200,000 shares of Common Stock as consideration for the termination of the Credit Facilities. | |
