Item 1.01. Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As previously reported, on June 21, 2023, TLGY Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“TLGY”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among TLGY, Virgo Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of TLGY (“Merger Sub”), Verde Bioresins, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Verde”), and, solely for Sections 3.07, 3.10, 7.13 and Article XI thereof, TLGY Sponsors LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company. Capitalized terms used in this Current Report on Form 8-K but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Merger Agreement.

 

On August 11, 2023, TLGY, Merger Sub and Verde entered into a First Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Amendment Agreement”) pursuant to which the parties thereto agreed to certain administrative amendments to the form of Acquiror Charter by deleting Exhibit D to the Merger Agreement in its entirety and replacing it with a new Exhibit D to the Merger Agreement in the form attached to the Amendment Agreement as Annex A.

 

Furthermore, pursuant to the Amendment Agreement, the parties thereto agreed that promptly following the Merger (unless otherwise agreed by Verde and TLGY), the Surviving Corporation shall merge (the “Second Merger”) with and into a newly formed, wholly-owned, direct limited liability company subsidiary of TLGY (“Merger Sub II”) (which TLGY shall form prior to the Third Closing Date for the sole purpose of the Second Merger) pursuant to the terms of an agreement and plan of merger, which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each of Verde and TLGY, whereupon the separate corporate existence of the Surviving Corporation shall cease, and Merger Sub II shall be the surviving entity of such merger.

 

A copy of the Amendment Agreement is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of the Amendment Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.
