Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Amendment to Business Combination Agreement

As previously disclosed by Investcorp Europe Acquisition Corp I, a Cayman Islands exempted company incorporated with limited liability (the “Company”), under Item 1.01 of its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 26, 2023, the Company entered into a business combination agreement, dated April 25, 2023 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), with OpSec Holdings, a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability (“Pubco”), Opal Merger Sub I, a Cayman Islands exempted company incorporated with limited liability and wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco, Opal Merger Sub II, a Cayman Islands exempted company incorporated with limited liability and wholly-owned Subsidiary of Pubco, Orca Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company incorporated with limited liability (“OpSec”), Orca Midco Limited, a private limited company incorporated under the Laws of England and Wales, Orca Bidco Limited, a private limited company incorporated under the Laws of England and Wales and a subsidiary of OpSec (“Orca”), Investcorp Technology Secondary Fund 2018, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (“ITSF”), and Mill Reef Capital Fund ScS, a limited partnership (société en commandite simple) organized under the laws of Luxembourg (“Mill Reef”, and together with ITSF, the “OpSec Shareholders”).

On December 14, 2023, the Company entered into that certain First Amendment to the Business Combination Agreement (the “First BCA Amendment”) with Pubco, OpSec and the OpSec Shareholders. The First BCA Amendment provides, among other things, that (1) holders of options granted by Orca (“Orca Options”) who are not executives of OpSec will have the right to elect to cash out up to 10% of the Orca Options held by such holders, (2) the Orca Options granted to certain OpSec executives in February of 2023 will be cancelled and (3) following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Transactions”), the board of directors of Pubco will consist of seven directors, three of whom shall be “independent directors” as defined under Rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with three individuals designated by OpSec, two individuals designated by the Company and two individuals appointed jointly by OpSec and the Company.

A copy of the First BCA Amendment 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 First BCA Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.

 

Item 8.01.

Other Events.

In order to mitigate the potential risks of being deemed to have been operating as an unregistered investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Company has instructed Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee with respect to the trust account of the Company (the “Trust Account”), to liquidate the U.S. government treasury obligations and money market funds held in the Trust Account and to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash in an interest-bearing bank demand deposit account until the earlier of consummation of the Company’s initial business combination or liquidation. Interest on such demand deposit account is variable and therefore such rate of interest may decrease or increase significantly. As a result, following such liquidation, the Company may receive less interest on the funds held in the Trust Account, which would reduce the dollar amount public shareholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.

Additional Information and Where to Find It

In connection with the Transactions, on November 22, 2023, Pubco filed a Registration Statement on Form F-4 (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that includes a proxy statement of the Company that also constitutes a prospectus of Pubco (the “Proxy Statement”). After the Registration Statement has been declared effective, the definitive Proxy Statement will be mailed to the shareholders of the Company (the “Company Shareholders”). The Company, OpSec and Pubco urge investors, shareholders and other interested persons to read, when available, the definitive Proxy Statement, as well as other documents filed with the SEC, because these documents will contain important information about the Company, OpSec, Pubco and the Transactions. The definitive Proxy Statement will be mailed to the Company Shareholders as of a record date to be established for voting on the Transactions. The Company Shareholders will also be able to obtain a copy of such documents, without charge, by directing a request to: Investcorp Europe Acquisition Corp I, Century Yard, Cricket Square, P.O. Box 111, George Town, Grand Cayman KY1-1102, Cayman Islands. These documents, once available, can also be obtained, without charge, at the SEC’s web site (http://www.sec.gov).

Participants in Solicitation

The Company, OpSec, Pubco and their respective directors, executive officers and other members of their management and employees, under SEC rules, may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies of the Company Shareholders in connection with the Transactions. Information regarding the persons who may, under SEC rules, be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies of the Company Shareholders in connection with the Transactions is set forth in the Proxy Statement for the Transactions. Information concerning the interests of the Company’s and OpSec’s participants in the solicitation, which may, in some cases, be different than those of the Company’s and OpSec’s equity holders generally, is also set forth in the Proxy Statement relating to the Transactions.


Non-Solicitation

This Current Report on Form 8-K is not a proxy statement or solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the Transactions and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities of the Company, Pubco or OpSec, nor shall there be any sale of any such securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

INVESTMENT IN ANY SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SEC OR ANY OTHER REGULATORY AUTHORITY NOR HAS ANY AUTHORITY PASSED UPON OR ENDORSED THE MERITS OF THE TRANSACTIONS OR THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

Forward Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K (including certain of the exhibits hereto) includes certain statements that are not historical facts but are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or the Company’s, Pubco’s, OpSec’s or the combined company’s future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “could”, “should”, “expect”, “intend”, “might”, “will”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “budget”, “forecast”, “intend”, “plan”, “potential”, “predict”, “potential” or “continue”, or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the Company and its management, and OpSec and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain. New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all risks and uncertainties. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K, which speak only as of the date they are made and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the cautionary statements herein. None of the Company, Pubco, OpSec or the combined company undertakes any duty to update these forward-looking statements.

For example, statements concerning the following include forward-looking statements: (1) the expected timing and likelihood of completion of the Transactions, including the risk that the Transactions may not close due to one or more closing conditions to the Transactions in the Business Combination Agreement not being satisfied or waived on a timely basis or otherwise, or that the required approval of the Business Combination Agreement and related matters by the shareholders of the Company may not be obtained; (2) the Company’s potential failure to raise sufficient funds in one or more equity financings so as to meet the closing condition under the Business Combination Agreement that requires it to have $50 million of funds (including funds in its Trust Account, after deducing any amounts paid out for redemptions by the Company Shareholders) as of the closing; (3) the potential inability of Pubco to meet the initial listing standards of the applicable stock exchange following the Transactions, including due to excessive redemptions of the Company’s public shares; (4) costs related to the Transactions; (5) the potential occurrence of a material adverse change with respect to the financial position, performance, operations or prospects of Pubco, OpSec or the Company; (6) the potential disruption of Company management’s time from ongoing business operations due to the Transactions; (7) announcements relating to the Transactions potentially having an adverse effect on the market price of the Company’s securities; (8) the potential effect of the Transactions and the announcement thereof on the ability of OpSec to retain customers and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with its customers and suppliers and on its operating results and business generally; (9) risks relating to the growth of OpSec’s business and its ability to realize expected results; (10) risks relating to OpSec’s plans for targeted acquisitions and upscaling organically; (11) risks relating to the growth and expansion of OpSec’s portfolio of solutions; (12) risks relating to the viability of OpSec’s growth strategy, including related capabilities; (13) risks relating to trends and developments in the IP/brand optimization, monetization and protection industry; (14) the risk that the combined company may be adversely affect by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors, or adverse macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, supply chain delays and increasing interest rates; and (15) other risks and uncertainties, including those identified in any proxy statement/prospectus in a Registration Statement on Form F-4 relating to the Transactions, the “Risk Factors” section of the Registration Statement, other documents filed by the Company from time to time with the SEC and any risk factors made available to you in connection with Pubco, the Company, OpSec and the Transactions.

The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Additional information concerning certain of these and other risk factors is contained in the Company’s most recent filings with the SEC, the Registration Statement and the definitive Proxy Statement. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning the Company, OpSec or Pubco, the Transactions described herein or other matters attributable to the Company, OpSec, Pubco or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Each of the Company, OpSec and Pubco expressly disclaims any obligations or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in their expectations with respect thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective agreements set forth in this Amendment and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties agree as follows:

1. Amendment to Section 1.4. Section 1.4 of the Business Combination Agreement is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following:

“1.4 Orca Options.

(a) Prior to the Share Contribution Closing, each holder of an Orca Option (other than the holders listed on Schedule VI) shall have a one-time, irrevocable election (the “Cash Out Election”) to elect a number of such holder’s Orca Options that are outstanding as of immediately prior to the Share Contribution Closing, whether then-vested or unvested in accordance with the priorities below (and to the extent not previously forfeited or canceled in accordance with their terms), not to exceed such holder’s Maximum Cash Out Options (the Orca Options so elected, the “Cash Out Portion”) to be, immediately prior to the Share Contribution Closing, canceled (with vested Orca Options canceled first, followed by unvested Orca Options, which unvested Orca Options shall be canceled in chronological order starting with the Orca Options nearest


to vesting in accordance with the schedule on which such unvested Orca Options would otherwise vest in accordance with their terms) and converted into the right to receive, for each such holder, an amount in cash equal to the product of (x) the number of Orca Shares underlying such holder’s Cash Out Portion, multiplied by (y) the excess, if any, of (A) $1.82, less (B) the exercise price per Orca Share applicable to the number of Orca Shares underlying such holder’s Cash Out Portion as of immediately prior to such cancellation (the “Option Cashout Amount”), paid within 60 days following such cancellation. Orca shall, or shall cause, any withholding Taxes or other applicable deductions to be deducted and withheld from the Option Cashout Amount as required or authorized by applicable Law. Each Cash Out Election shall be in a written or electronic form provided by Orca to each applicable holder of Orca Options, and must be executed and delivered by each such holder wishing to elect the treatment described in this Section 1.4(a) to Orca no later than ten (10) Business Days preceding the Share Contribution Closing (or such earlier date selected by Orca). A Cash Out Election made by an applicable holder shall be required to be made in accordance with the following order and priority: (1) first, the holder must elect to apply the Cash Out Election to all of such holder’s Orca Options that are vested as of the date of such Cash Out Election (not to exceed such holder’s Maximum Cash Out Options or, if less, the amount elected pursuant to the Cash Out Election), and then (2) solely to the extent that such holder has elected to apply the Cash Out Election to all of such holder’s vested Orca Options (and such holder has not exceeded such holder’s Maximum Cash Out Options or, if less, the amount elected pursuant to the Cash Out Election), such holder may thereafter elect to apply the Cash Out Election with respect to such holder’s then-unvested Orca Options, in chronological order in accordance with the schedule on which such unvested Orca Options would otherwise vest in accordance with their terms from the earliest to vest until the latest to vest (until the total number of Orca Options subject to such holder’s Cash Out Election pursuant to the preceding clause (1) and this clause (2) equal such holder’s Maximum Cash Out Options or, if less, the amount elected pursuant to the Cash Out Election). Any Orca Options with respect to which a Cash Out Election has not been timely executed and delivered in accordance with this Section 1.4(a) (or for which a Cash Out Election is not available) shall be treated in accordance with Section 1.4(b), below. For purposes of this Section 1.4(a), each such holder’s “Maximum Cash Out Options” shall mean Orca Options with respect to a number of Orca Shares equal to ten percent (10%) of the aggregate number of Orca Shares subject to the Orca Options then-held by such holder.

(b) Subject to Section 1.4(d) below, with respect to any Orca Options that do not constitute a Cash Out Portion and which are outstanding as of immediately prior to the Share Contribution Closing (each, an “Applicable Orca Option”):

(i) in the case of any Applicable Orca Option which is not a U.S.-Held Option, Pubco shall grant, on or as soon as reasonably practicable following the Share Contribution Closing, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, in exchange for the cancellation and release of each Applicable Orca Option, options over Pubco Ordinary Shares of equivalent value and on equivalent terms and status as regards vesting, exercise, indemnities and other provisions relating to tax as the Orca Options (unless otherwise determined by the Company with SPAC’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld)) (such option, the “Pubco Options”); and

(ii) in the case of any Applicable Orca Options that have been granted to, or are held by, a holder that is subject to taxation in the United States (each, a “U.S.-Held Option”), each such U.S.-Held Option shall, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and automatically converted into an option to purchase a number of Pubco Ordinary Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (x) the number of Orca Shares subject to such U.S.-Held Option as of immediately prior to the Share Contribution Closing, multiplied by (y) 0.182, at an exercise price per Pubco Ordinary Share equal to the quotient of (A) the exercise price per Orca Share applicable to such U.S.-Held Option as of immediately prior to the Share Contribution Closing, divided by (B) 0.182 (with such quotient rounded up to the nearest whole cent); provided, however, that such conversion shall be made in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (or, in the case of an U.S.-Held Option subject to Section 422 of the Code, the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code and the regulations promulgated


thereunder); provided, further, that, except as expressly set forth above and any other terms rendered inoperative by reason of the Transactions or for any appropriate administrative or ministerial changes, each U.S.-Held Option shall be subject to the same terms and conditions (including, without limitation, vesting, forfeiture, and expiration provisions) that were applicable to such U.S.-Held Option as of immediately prior to the Share Contribution Closing.

(c) At the Share Contribution Closing, Pubco shall assume the Orca Option Scheme. Prior to the Share Contribution Closing, Orca, as applicable, will (A) adopt resolutions to effectuate the treatment of the Orca Options pursuant to this Section 1.4, and (B) take any other actions that are necessary to effectuate the treatment of the Orca Options pursuant to this Section 1.4. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith to effectuate the provisions of this Section 1.4.

(d) Orca Optionholders to whom shares in Orca or Orca Midco are issued as a result of the exercise of Orca Options in accordance with their terms prior to and conditional upon Share Contribution Closing (if any) (the “Exercised Orca Shares”) shall be required to exchange such shares for such number of Pubco Ordinary Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (x) the number of Exercised Orca Shares as of immediately prior to the Share Contribution Closing, multiplied by (y) 0.182.”

2. Amendment to Section 9.7. Section 9.7(b)(i) is hereby amended by replacing the words “prepared in accordance with IFRS by KPMG” with the words “audited by KPMG”.

3. Amendment to 9.19. Section 9.19(a) of the Business Combination Agreement is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following:

“(a)With effect from the Second Merger Closing, and subject to the Amended Pubco Charter, the Pubco Board (the “Post-Closing Pubco Board”) will consist of seven members that are reasonably acceptable to the Company and SPAC, with three designated by the Company, two designated by SPAC and the remaining members appointed jointly by the Company and SPAC (collectively, the “Post-Closing Directors”). Three of the Post-Closing Directors to be designated by the Company and SPAC shall be “independent directors” as defined under Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act.”

4. Amendment to Section 9.25. The last sentence of Section 9.25 of the Business Combination Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the words “Assumed U.S.-Held Options” with the words “U.S.-Held Options”.

5. Amendment to Section 15.2. Section 15.2 of the Business Combination Agreement is hereby amended by:

 

  (a)

  (b)

The Schedules to the Business Combination Agreement are hereby amended to add Schedule VI attached hereto.

8. References to the Business Combination Agreement. After giving effect to this Amendment, each reference in the Business Combination Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereof”, “hereunder” or words of like import referring to the Business Combination Agreement shall refer to the Business Combination Agreement as amended by this Amendment, and all references in the Ancillary Documents to “the Agreement” shall refer to the Business Combination Agreement as amended by this Amendment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all references (a) in the Business Combination Agreement or the Disclosure Schedules to “the date hereof” or “the date of this Agreement” or (b) in the Business Combination Agreement or the Ancillary Documents to “the date of the Business Combination Agreement” or “the date of the Agreement”, or words of like import, shall (except to the extent any such references are amended (or amended and restated) pursuant to the terms of this Amendment) refer to April 25, 2023, and all references in the Business Combination Agreement to “prior to the date of this Agreement” or words of like import shall mean before the Business Combination Agreement was executed on April 25, 2023 (without regard to this Amendment).
