Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As disclosed under the sections titled “Summary of the Proxy Statement—The Business Combination” and “Proposal No. 1—The Business Combination Proposal” beginning on pages 24 and 103, respectively, of the proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by SMAP on November 13, 2023, SMAP entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), dated December 5, 2022, as amended June 27, 2023 and September 5, 2023, with ICH Merger Sub, Inc., a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of SMAP (“Merger Sub”), and Infrared Cameras Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy ICI”). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, Merger Sub was merged with and into Legacy ICI, with Legacy ICI surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of SMAP (the “Business Combination” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Transactions”). In connection with the Closing, the Company changed its name from SportsMap Tech Acquisition Corp. to Infrared Cameras Holdings, Inc. and Legacy ICI changed its name to MSAI Operating, Inc.
As previously reported on the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 11, 2023, SMAP held a special meeting of stockholders on December 8, 2023 (the “Special Meeting”), at which the SMAP stockholders considered and adopted, among other matters, a proposal to approve the Business Combination, including (a) adopting the Business Combination Agreement and (b) approving the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and related agreements described in the Proxy Statement.
Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, following the Special Meeting, on December 19, 2023, the Transactions were consummated (the “Closing”).
Item 2.01 of this Report discusses the consummation of the Transactions and the entry into agreements relating thereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement
On December 19, 2023, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination and as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, ICI, the Sponsor, and certain other holders of ICI and SMAP capital stock entered into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). The material terms of the Registration Rights Agreement are described in the section of the Proxy Statement beginning on page 118 titled “Proposal No. 1—The Business Combination Proposal—Related Agreements—Registration Rights Agreement.” Such description is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement, which is included as Exhibit 10.6 to this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
Lock-Up Agreements
On December 19, 2023, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination and as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, ICI, the Sponsor, certain others of common stock of SportsMap and certain holders of Legacy ICI common stock, Participating Company Options (as defined below) and Participating Company RSU Awards (as defined below) entered into lock-up agreements (the “Lock-Up Agreements”). The material terms of the Lock-Up Agreements are described in the section of the Proxy Statement beginning on page 118 titled “Proposal No. 1—The Business Combination Proposal—Related Agreements—Lock-Up Agreements.” Such description is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Lock-Up Agreements, the form of which is included as Exhibit 10.7 to this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
Following the execution of the Lock-Up Agreements and after distribution by the Sponsor to its members of all SportsMap Common Stock held by the Sponsor at the Closing, a total of approximately 8,348,493 shares of the Company’s common stock were subject to the restrictions of the Lock-Up Agreements as of the Closing.
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
As described above, on December 8, 2023, SMAP held the Special Meeting, at which the SMAP stockholders considered and adopted, among other matters, a proposal to approve the Business Combination Agreement and the Transactions. On December 19, 2023, the parties consummated the Business Combination.
Holders of 1,493,265 shares of SportsMap common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“SportsMap Common Stock”) sold in its initial public offering (the “Initial Shares”) properly exercised their right to have such shares redeemed for a full pro rata portion of the trust account holding the proceeds from SMAP’s initial public offering, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, which was approximately $11.00 per share, or approximately $16.4 million in the aggregate.
As a result of the Business Combination, (i) each share of issued and outstanding Legacy ICI common stock, other than dissenting shares and shares held immediately prior to the Effective Time by Legacy ICI as treasury stock, converted into the right to receive 10.2776 shares of SportsMap Common Stock, based on the Exchange Ratio described in the Proxy Statement (the “Exchange Ratio”), (ii) each option to purchase shares of Legacy ICI common stock outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, other than any Out-of-the-Money Options (“Participating Company Options”) converted into an option to purchase shares of SportsMap Common Stock upon substantially the same terms and conditions (taking into account any accelerated vesting provided for in Legacy ICI’s existing equity plan or any related award agreement by reason of the Business Combination Agreement or the Business Combination) as were in effect with respect to such option prior to the Effective Time, except that such option represented the right to receive a number of shares of SportsMap Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Legacy ICI common stock subject to such option prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, and the exercise price per share equal to the exercise price per share of such option prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, and (iii) each restricted stock unit award covering shares of Legacy ICI common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested (“Participating Company RSU Awards”), converted into a restricted stock unit (“RSU”) award covering a number of shares of SportsMap Common Stock upon substantially the same terms and conditions as were in effect with respect to such award prior to the Effective Time, except that such award represented the right to receive a number of shares of SportsMap Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Legacy ICI common stock subject to such award prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio.
Immediately prior to the Closing, the Company consummated the issuance and sale of convertible promissory notes (the “Financing Notes”) and warrants (the “Financing Warrants”) to certain investors pursuant to a subscription agreement dated December 1, 2023 between the Company and those investors (the “Subscription Agreement” and such transaction, the “Financing”). A summary of the material terms of the Financing, the Subscription Agreement, the Financing Notes and the Financing Warrants is included in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 1, 2023, as amended by the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed on December 7, 2023.
After giving effect to the Transactions, the redemption of Initial Shares as described above, and the consummation of the Financing, there are currently 11,956,823 shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding. Of those shares, 7,584,144 were issued to holders of Legacy ICI common stock in respect of such shares of Legacy ICI common stock, representing approximately 63.4% of the Company’s voting power at the Closing.
The Company’s common stock and warrants commenced trading on the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbols “MSAI” and “MSAIW,” respectively, on December 20, 2023. As previously disclosed, the Company’s Nasdaq listing application was not approved prior to the Closing. On December 20, 2023, the Company received a written notice (the ’Nasdaq Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC indicating that the Staff has determined that the Company has not complied with all of the requirements of Nasdaq Rule IM-5101-2 since it has not demonstrated compliance with the requirement to have a minimum of 1.1 million ’unrestricted publicly held shares” and a minimum of 400 ’round lot holders,” as required by the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5405(a) for initial listing on Nasdaq. The Company intends to appeal the Staff determination to a hearings panel pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq rules by demonstrating that it satisfies all of the requirements for initial listing on Nasdaq and pursue approval of its initial listing application as promptly as possible.
FORM 10 INFORMATION
Item 2.01(f) of Form 8-K provides that if the predecessor registrant was a “shell company” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as SMAP was immediately before the Business Combination, then the registrant must disclose the information that would be required if the registrant were filing a general form for registration of securities on Form 10. As a result of the consummation of the Business Combination, and as discussed below in Item 5.06 of this Report, the Company has ceased to be a shell company. Accordingly, the Company is providing the information below that would be included in a Form 10 if it were to file a Form 10. Please note that the information provided below relates to the combined company after the consummation of the Business Combination, unless otherwise specifically indicated or the context otherwise requires.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Report includes statements that express ICI’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. They appear in a number of places throughout this Report (including in information that is incorporated by reference into this Report) and include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, the Transactions and the benefits of the Transactions, including results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies and the markets in which ICI operates. Such forward-looking statements are based on information available as of the date of this Report, and current expectations, forecasts and assumptions, and involve a number of judgments, risks and uncertainties.
As a result of a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, the actual results or performance of ICI may be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Some factors that could cause actual results to differ include:
• | the inability to maintain the listing of the ICI’s common stock on Nasdaq following the Business Combination; |
• | our ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition and the ability of ICI to grow and manage growth profitably following the Business Combination; |
• | changes in applicable laws or regulations; |
• | the ability of ICI to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the completion of the proposed transaction, and identify and realize additional opportunities; |
• | the risk of downturns and the possibility of rapid change in the highly competitive industry in which ICI operates; |
• | the risk that ICI and its current and future collaborators are unable to successfully develop and commercialize ICI’s products or services, or experience significant delays in doing so; |
• | the risk that ICI may never achieve sustained profitability; |
• | the risk that ICI will need to raise additional capital to execute its business plan, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all; |
• | the risk that ICI experiences difficulties in managing its growth and expanding operations; |
• | the risk that third-party suppliers and manufacturers are not able to fully and timely meet their obligations; |
• | the risk that ICI is unable to secure or protect its intellectual property; |
• | the possibility that ICI may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; and |
• | other factors detailed under the section titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 9 of Amendment No. 2 to the registration statement on Form S-1 filed by SportsMap on December 19, 2023 (the “Registration Statement”) and incorporated herein by reference. |
The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of the other documents filed by ICI from time to time with the SEC. The forward-looking statements contained in this Report and in any document incorporated by reference are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on ICI.

For accounting purposes, the Transactions are treated as a reverse acquisition and, as such, the historical financial statements of the accounting acquirer, ICI, will become the historical financial statements of the Company. In a reverse acquisition, a change of accountants is presumed to have occurred unless the same accountant audited the pre-transaction financial statements of both the legal acquirer and the accounting acquirer, and such change is generally presumed to occur on the date the reverse acquisition is completed.
(a) Dismissal of independent registered public accounting firm.
On December 19, 2023, the Audit Committee of the Board dismissed Marcum LLP (“Marcum”), SMAP’s independent registered public accounting firm prior to the business combination, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm effective upon consummation of the Closing.
The report of Marcum on SMAP’s, the Company’s legal predecessor, balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and the statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022 and for the period from May 14, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainties, audit scope or accounting principles, except that such report contained an explanatory paragraph regarding SMAP’s ability to continue as a going concern.
During the period from May 14, 2021 (inception) to December 31, 2022 and subsequent interim period through December 19, 2023, there were no disagreements between the Company and Marcum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Marcum, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports on SMAP’s financial statements for such period.
During the period from May 14, 2021 (inception) to December 31, 2022 and subsequent interim period through December 19, 2023, there were no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act).
The Company has provided Marcum with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and has requested that Marcum furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company set forth above. A copy of Marcum’s letter, dated December 21, 2023, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Report.
