Item 1.01.Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On August 14, 2023, FG Merger Corp., a special purpose acquisition company (“FGMC”), entered into Prepaid Forward Purchase Agreement (the “FPA”) by and among FGMC, iCoreConnect Inc., a Nevada corporation (“ICCT”) and RiverNorth SPAC Arbitrage Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Purchaser”).

 

In accordance with the FPA and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Purchaser shall purchase the lesser of (a) 1.5 million shares of FGMC common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“FGMC Common Stock”) and (b) such number of shares of FGMC Common Stock as shall, following the contemplated business combination (the “Business Combination”) between FGMC and ICCT, not exceed 9.9% of the total number of shares of FGMC Common Stock to be outstanding (such shares to be purchased, the “Forward Purchase Shares”) from public shareholders for a price no greater than the redemption price per share as is indicated in FGMC’s most recently filed periodic report (the “Prepaid Forward Purchase Price”).

 

In accordance with the terms of the Business Combination, upon the consummation of the Business Combination, each Forward Purchase Share will automatically convert into one share of FGMC preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Preferred Stock”) (including the shares of FGMC Common Stock underlying the Preferred Stock, the “Purchased Shares”).

 

Upon the Business Combination closing, the greater of 100,000 Purchased Shares or 5% (five percent) of the Purchased Shares shall be deemed to be “Commitment Shares” and the remaining Purchased Shares shall be deemed to be “Prepaid Forward Purchase Shares”.

 

No later than the earlier of (a) one (1) local business day after the Business Combination closing and (b) the date any assets from FGMC’s trust account are disbursed in connection with the Business Combination, FGMC and ICCT shall cause Purchaser to be paid directly, out of the funds held in FGMC’s trust account, a cash amount (the “Prepayment Amount”) equal to the number of Purchased Shares multiplied by the amount paid to redeeming stockholders in connection with the Business Combination (the “Redemption Price”). The Redemption Price as of June 30, 2023 was $10.65.

 

Upon the sale of the Prepaid Forward Purchase Shares (or underlying Parent Common Stock) by the Purchaser, the Purchaser will remit the Reference Price (as defined below) per share to FGMC. On the earlier to occur of :

 

·the date that FGMC, ICCT or Purchaser breaches this Agreement,
·the occurrence of a “Registration Failure” (as defined in the FPA), and
·the date that is twelve months after the closing of the Business Combination (the “Maturity Date”),

 

then, for any Parent Common Stock underlying the Prepaid Forward Purchase Shares not sold by the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall, on the 25th trading day after the Maturity Date (the “Payment Date”), pay FGMC an amount equal to (i) the number of Prepaid Forward Purchase Shares that the Purchaser held on the Maturity Date, multiplied by (ii) the lowest daily volume weighted average price per share of FGMC Common Stock during the twenty trading days beginning on the day after the Maturity Date less $0.15.

 

 

 

 

Between the Maturity Date and the Payment Date, the Purchaser may not sell more than a number of Prepaid Forward Purchase Shares per day equal to the greater of (i) 5% of the Purchased Shares owned by the Purchaser at the Maturity Date and (ii) 10% of the daily trading volume on such date.

 

The Purchaser has agreed that until the Maturity Date, the FGMC Common Stock underlying the Prepaid Forward Purchase Shares may not be sold for a price less than the Reference Price. The “Reference Price” will initially equal the Redemption Price and will be reduced (but never increased) each month commencing on the first day of the month starting 30 days after the Business Combination Closing to the volume weighted average price of the FGMC Common Stock for the preceding 10 trading days, but in no event less than $10.00 per share (the “Floor”) unless in FGMC’s sole discretion, the Floor is lowered. Any reduction of the Floor shall be accomplished through a written notice from FGMC to Purchaser.

 

The FPA provides for certain registration rights. In particular, FGMC is required to, within 30 calendar days following written request by Purchaser, file with the SEC a registration statement registering the resale of all shares held by Purchaser and have such registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof.

 

The foregoing description of the FPA is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the FPA, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
