IMPORTANT NOTICES

 

Important Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, both as amended. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about the pending transactions among Quartzsea Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Quartzsea”), Cuisine Universal Packaging Solution, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Quartzsea (“Purchaser”), CUPS Sub Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Purchaser (“Merger Sub”) and Broadway Technology Inc, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Broadway Tech”) and the transactions contemplated thereby, and the parties’ perspectives and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the proposed transaction, including Quartzsea’s and Broadway Tech’s expectations with respect to future performance and anticipated financial impacts of the business combination, the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the business combination and the timing of the completion of the business combination. The words “expect,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan” and similar expressions indicate forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to various risks and uncertainties, assumptions (including assumptions about general economic, market, industry and operational factors), known or unknown, which could cause the actual results to vary materially from those indicated or anticipated.

 

Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement relating to the proposed business combination; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Quartzsea or Broadway Tech following the announcement of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein; (3) the inability to complete the business combination, including due to failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of Quartzsea or other conditions to closing in the Merger Agreement; (4) delays in obtaining or the inability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals (including approval from PRC regulators) required to complete the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (5) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement or could otherwise cause the transaction to fail to close; (6) the inability to obtain or maintain the listing of the post-acquisition company’s ordinary shares on Nasdaq following the business combination; (7) the risk that the business combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the business combination; (8) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the business combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably and retain its key employees; (9) costs related to the business combination; (10) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (11) the possibility that Broadway Tech or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors and (12) other risks and uncertainties to be identified in the Registration Statement filed by Quartzsea and Parent (when available) relating to the business combination, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and in other filings with the SEC made by Quartzsea and Broadway Tech. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated or anticipated by such forward-looking statements. Accordingly, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements relate only to the date they were made, and Quartzsea, Purchaser, Merger Sub, Broadway Tech, and their subsidiaries undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made except as required by law or applicable regulation.

On June 6, 2025, Broadway Technology Inc, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Broadway Tech”), a leading manufacturer of high-quality PET (polyethylene terephthalate) cups and lids through its operating subsidiary Zhejiang Gaokai New Materials Co., Ltd., Pivot Technology Holding Inc, a BVI business company organized under the Laws of the British Virgin Islands, and Zenith Technology International Inc, a BVI business company also organized under the Laws of the British Virgin Islands (each, a “Principal Shareholder” and collectively, the “Principal Shareholders”), Fan Zhang, an individual, solely in his capacity as the shareholder representative, agent and attorney-in-fact of the Principal Shareholders (the “Principal Shareholders’ Representative”), Quartzsea Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Parent”), Cuisine Universal Packaging Solution, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent (the “Purchaser”), and CUPS Sub Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Purchaser (the “Merger Sub”), entered into a Merger Agreement (the “Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

 

Acquisition Merger and Acquisition Consideration

 

Upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, Quartzsea will merge with and into Purchaser, resulting in all Quartzsea shareholders becoming shareholders of the Purchaser as described under the below section titled “SPAC Merger.” Concurrently therewith, Merger Sub will merge with and into Broadway Tech, with Boardway Tech surviving the merger and resulting in Purchaser acquiring 100% of the issued and outstanding equity securities of Broadway Tech (the “Acquisition Merger”). Upon the closing of the Acquisition Merger, the ordinary shares of Purchaser issued shall be reclassified into class A ordinary shares (“Purchaser Class A Ordinary Shares”) and class B ordinary shares (“Purchaser Class B Ordinary Shares,” together with Purchaser Class A Ordinary Shares, “Purchaser Ordinary Shares”) where each Purchaser Class A Ordinary Share shall be entitled to one (1) vote on all matters subject to a vote at general and special meetings of the post-closing company and each Purchaser Class B Ordinary Share shall be entitled to 10 votes on all matters subject to a vote at general and special meetings of the post-closing company.

The aggregate consideration to be paid to Broadway Tech shareholders for the Acquisition Merger is $520,000,000, payable in newly issued Purchaser Ordinary Shares equal to $520,000,000 divided by $10.00 per share (the “Closing Payment Shares”).

 

Furthermore, the parties agreed that immediately following the closing the Acquisition Merger, Purchaser’s board of directors will consist of one (1) director designated by Quartzsea and four (4) directors designated by Broadway Tech. The Purchaser’s board of directors will comply with the requirements of Nasdaq, subject to applicable exemptions.

 

SPAC Merger

 

At the SPAC Effective Time, Quartzsea will be merged with and into Purchaser, the separate corporate existence of Quartzsea will cease and Purchaser will continue as the surviving corporation (the “SPAC Merger”). In connection with the SPAC Merger, Quartzsea’s issued and outstanding units shall separate into its individual components of one ordinary share and one right, and all units shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled, and each of Quartzsea’s issued and outstanding securities will be converted into an equivalent amount of Purchaser’s securities:

 

Each Quartzsea ordinary share will be converted automatically into one Purchaser Class A Ordinary Share;

 

At the Closing of the Mergers, all Purchaser Rights shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist. The holders of Purchaser Rights instead will receive one-fifth (1/5) of one Purchaser Class A Ordinary Share in exchange for the cancellation of each Purchaser Right.
