Item 1.01. Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.
Business Combination Agreement
On August 24, 2026 (the “Signing Date”), Bleichroeder Acquisition Corp. III, a Cayman Islands exempted company (which will be renamed “Inflection Point Mach X Bleichroeder Corp.” and which will transfer by way of continuation out of the Cayman Islands and domesticate as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware prior to the Closing (as defined below)) (“Mach X”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among Mach X, Inflection Point Mach X Bleichroeder Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Mach X (“Merger Sub”), and Ursa Major Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Ursa Major” or the “Company”), pursuant to which, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into Ursa Major, following which the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and Ursa Major will continue as the surviving corporation and as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Mach X (the “Merger”). The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the ancillary documents contemplated thereby, including the Domestication (as defined below) and the Merger, are referred to herein as the “Business Combination.” Mach X, Merger Sub and Ursa Major are individually referred to herein as a “Party” and, collectively, as the “Parties.” In connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), Mach X will change its name to a name mutually agreed on by Mach X and Ursa Major (such company after the Closing, “New Ursa Major”).
The Domestication
Mach X will, subject to obtaining the required shareholder approvals and at least one business day prior to the date of Closing (the “Closing Date”), change its jurisdiction of incorporation by deregistering as a Cayman Islands exempted company and continuing and domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”).
Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, including approval of Mach X’s shareholders: (a) immediately prior to the Domestication, pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement (as defined below), each holder of the then issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares of Mach X, par value $0.0001 per share (each, a “Cayman Class B Ordinary Share”), will elect to convert each Cayman Class B Ordinary Share held by them, on a one-for-one basis, into one Class A ordinary share of Mach X, par value $0.0001 per share (each, a “Cayman Class A Ordinary Share”) (the “Sponsor Share Conversion”); and (b) in connection with the Domestication, (i) each then issued and outstanding Cayman Class A Ordinary Share will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into one share of common stock of Mach X (after the Domestication) (the “New Ursa Major Common Stock”), (ii) each then issued and outstanding warrant of Mach X will, by its terms, automatically become a warrant to acquire one share of New Ursa Major Common Stock (each, a “New Ursa Major Warrant”), and (iii) each then issued and outstanding unit of Mach X will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a unit of Mach X (after the Domestication) (each, a “New Ursa Major Unit”).
At the Effective Time (as defined below), each then issued and outstanding New Ursa Major Unit will be automatically separated and cancelled and will thereafter entitle the holder thereof to one share of New Ursa Major Common Stock and one-fourth of one New Ursa Major Warrant, with any fractional New Ursa Major Warrant otherwise issuable in connection with such separation rounded down to the nearest whole New Ursa Major Warrant.
The Merger and Consideration
Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), Merger Sub and Ursa Major will consummate the Merger, pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into Ursa Major, following which the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and Ursa Major will continue as the surviving corporation after the Merger and as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Mach X.
1
Immediately prior to the Effective Time:
| (1) | each issued and outstanding share of preferred stock of Ursa Major (“Company Preferred Stock”) (other than any Pre-Funded Preferred Stock (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement)) will automatically convert into such number of shares of common stock of Ursa Major (“Company Common Stock”) into which such shares are convertible in connection with the Merger pursuant to Ursa Major’s organizational documents; and |
| (2) | each warrant of Ursa Major (other than the warrants of the Company to purchase Company Common Stock issued to purchasers of Pre-Funded Preferred Stock (the “Company Pre-Funded Preferred Investor Warrants”)) exercisable for Company Common Stock that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time will automatically be exercised on a cashless basis in full in accordance with its terms or otherwise exercised in full. |
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the aggregate consideration (the “Aggregate Consideration”) to be paid to the holders of securities of Ursa Major (other than the holders of the Pre-Funded Preferred Stock and the Company Pre-Funded Preferred Investor Warrants in respect of those securities) in, or in connection with, the Merger will be the number of shares of New Ursa Major Common Stock, rounded down to the nearest whole share, equal to the quotient of (a) $1,600,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”), divided by (b) $10.00, which equates to 160,000,000 shares of New Ursa Major Common Stock.
Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares (as defined below)) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a number of shares of New Ursa Major Common Stock, rounded down to the nearest whole share, equal to the Exchange Ratio. The “Exchange Ratio” is the Aggregate Consideration divided by the fully diluted capital of Ursa Major, which is the sum (without duplication) of the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock that are (i) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including all Company Common Stock issued upon conversion of all issued and outstanding Company Preferred Stock, but excluding any Pre-Funded Preferred Stock), (ii) issuable upon full exercise of all issued and outstanding options of Ursa Major (“Company Options”) (calculated on a net exercise basis), and excludes any Company Pre-Funded Preferred Investor Warrants.
The consideration to be paid in, or in connection with, the Merger to a holder of Pre-Funded Preferred Stock will be a number of shares of the Series A preferred stock of New Ursa Major (the “New Ursa Major Series A Preferred Stock”) equal to the quotient, rounded up to the nearest whole share, of (i) the aggregate Pre-Funded Preferred Stock Accrued Value (as defined below) of such holder’s shares of Pre-Funded Preferred Stock, divided by (ii) $12.00 (the “Pre-Funded Preferred Consideration”).
The consideration to be paid in, or in connection with, the Merger to a holder in respect of each Company Pre-Funded Preferred Investor Warrant will be one or more Series A warrants of New Ursa Major (the “New Ursa Major Series A Investor Warrants”) to purchase a number of shares of New Ursa Major Common Stock (on otherwise the same terms as applicable to the New Ursa Major Series A Investor Warrants issued to the Series A Preferred Stock Investors in the Closing PIPE Investment) equal to the quotient of (i) the aggregate exercise price of such Company Pre-Funded Preferred Investor Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (ii) $12.00 (the “Pre-Funded Preferred Investor Warrant Consideration”).
Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, at the Effective Time:
| (1) | each share of Company Common Stock that is owned by Mach X, Merger Sub or Ursa Major (in treasury or otherwise) immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, an “Excluded Share”) will be cancelled and cease to exist, and no consideration will be delivered in exchange therefor; |
| (2) | each share of Company Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a number of shares of New Ursa Major Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole share); |
| (3) | each outstanding and unexercised Company Option will cease to represent an option to purchase or acquire shares of Company Common Stock and will be assumed and converted, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, into an option to acquire that number of shares of New Ursa Major Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time and (B) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the exercise price per share of such Company Option by (y) the Exchange Ratio, in each case determined in a manner consistent with the applicable requirements of Sections 409A, 422 and 424 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; |
2
| (4) | each share of Pre-Funded Preferred Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will automatically be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Pre-Funded Preferred Consideration; and |
| (5) | each Company Pre-Funded Preferred Investor Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time will automatically be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Pre-Funded Preferred Investor Warrant Consideration. |
No fractional shares of New Ursa Major Common Stock will be issued upon the conversion of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Merger, and any fractional shares will be rounded down to the nearest whole share.
Governance
The Parties have agreed to take all such action within their power as may be necessary or appropriate so that, effective as of the Closing, the board of directors of Mach X (the “New Ursa Major Board”) will not be classified as to term and will initially consist of such number and composition of directors as is mutually agreed by the Sellers (as defined below) and Mach X; provided that Mach X is entitled to designate one (1) director. The initial chairperson of the New Ursa Major Board, the initial chairperson of the audit committee and the initial chairperson of the compensation committee will be as set forth in the disclosure letter delivered by Ursa Major in connection with the Business Combination Agreement (the “Designated Directors”). Mach X has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain resignations, effective immediately after the Closing, from those directors of Mach X who are not to remain directors on the New Ursa Major Board.
Representations and Warranties; Covenants
The Parties have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Business Combination Agreement, including, among others, covenants with respect to the conduct of the business of Mach X and Ursa Major during the period between the Signing Date and the Closing.
