(a)           Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by Acquirer of this Agreement and the consummation by Acquirer of the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement are within Acquirer’s power and have been duly authorized by all necessary action. Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by each other Party, this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of Acquirer, enforceable against Acquirer in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of rights of creditors generally and by general equitable principles.

(b)           No Governmental Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by Acquirer of this Agreement and the consummation by Acquirer of the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental authority, other than compliance with any applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, and any other applicable securities laws, whether state, federal or foreign.

(c)           Investment Representations.

(i)       Acknowledgment. Acquirer understands and agrees that the Transferred Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state of the U.S. and that the sale of the Transferred Securities will be effected in reliance upon one or more exemptions from registration afforded under the Securities Act. Acquirer acknowledges and agrees that the Transferred Securities may not be offered, resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by Acquirer absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, except (i) to SPAC or a subsidiary thereof, (ii) pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act (including without limitation a private resale pursuant to so called “Section 4(a)1½”), or (iii) in an ordinary course pledge such as a broker lien over account property generally, and, in each of clauses (i)-(iii), in accordance with any applicable securities laws of the states and other jurisdictions of the United States, and that any certificates or account entries representing the Transferred Securities will contain a restrictive legend to such effect. Acquirer acknowledges and agrees that the Transferred Securities will be subject to these securities law transfer restrictions, and as a result of these transfer restrictions, Acquirer may not be able to readily offer, resell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of the Transferred Securities and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Transferred Securities for an indefinite period of time. Acquirer acknowledges that the Transferred Securities will not be immediately eligible for offer, resale, transfer, pledge or disposition pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act until at least one year following the filing of certain required information with the SEC after the closing of a Business Combination. Acquirer acknowledges and agrees that it has been advised to consult legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale, pledge or transfer of any of the Transferred Securities.

(ii)       Status. Acquirer is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act. Acquirer has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and in investments of this type that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the Transferred Securities and of making an informed investment decision, and has conducted a review of the business and affairs of SPAC that it considers sufficient and reasonable for purposes of purchasing the Transferred Securities. Acquirer understands that the Transferred Securities will be sold to Acquirer in reliance upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of Acquirer set forth in this Agreement, in order that Sponsor may determine the applicability and availability of the exemptions from registration on which Sponsor is relying.

(iii)       Purchase for Own Account. Acquirer is purchasing the Transferred Securities for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof. Acquirer has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the Transferred Securities. Acquirer does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Transferred Securities.

(d)       Acquirer Review. Acquirer has reviewed the SPAC SEC Documents, including the exhibits thereto. Acquirer is not relying on any other information concerning SPAC or the Transferred Securities in connection with acceptance of the Transferred Securities, other than as set forth herein.

(e)       Finders’ and Advisory Fees. There is no investment banker, broker, finder or other intermediary that has been retained by or is authorized to act on behalf of Acquirer who would be entitled to any fee or commission from SPAC in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement for which Sponsor would be liable.

12.    Release. Sponsor hereby releases SPAC and each of its officers, directors and shareholders from any claims that Sponsor may have now or in the future, whether contractual, statutory or otherwise, against any of SPAC, its officers, directors or shareholders relating to  (i) the formation of SPAC, (ii) the operation of SPAC (including agreements between Sponsor and SPAC) up to the Closing and (iii) the dismissal of Sponsor or any of its officers, directors or employees as an officer, director or employee of SPAC, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be construed as a waiver or release of (x) any claim for indemnification that Sponsor may have against SPAC regardless of whether such claim arises after the Closing, (y) any rights under this Agreement or any of the agreements executed and delivered hereunder, or (z) any claim for fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence.

13.    Indemnification and Exculpation; Insurance.

(a)       All rights to exculpation or indemnification for acts or omissions occurring through the date hereof now existing in favor of any of the officers and directors of SPAC prior to the consummation of the Transactions as provided in the Articles will survive the execution of this Agreement and the Closing and will continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms and will not be amended by SPAC to eliminate or reduce such rights except to the extent required by law.

(b)       The SPAC shall renew or otherwise extend its current directors’ and officers’ liabilities insurance policy to the expiration date of the SPAC, if and to the extent extended, on terms reasonably acceptable to Acquirer, and shall obtain, as of the closing of the Business Combination, a “tail” insurance policy, to the extent available on commercially reasonable terms and at an aggregate cost of no higher than 150% of the premium of the SPAC’s directors’ and officers’ liabilities insurance policy as of the date of this Agreement, extending coverage for an aggregate period of six (6) years providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the closing of the Business Combination covering (as direct beneficiaries) those persons who are as of the date of this Agreement currently covered by the SPAC’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy, of the type and with the amount of coverage no less favorable than those of the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained as of the date of this Agreement by, or for the benefit of, the SPAC.

14.    Further Assurances. Each Party agrees that it will execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, on or after the date of this Agreement, all such other documents and instruments as are reasonably required for the performance of such Party’s obligations hereunder and will take all commercially reasonable actions as may be necessary to consummate the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to effectuate the provisions and purposes hereof. In addition, without limiting the foregoing, Sponsor shall cooperate with SPAC and Acquirer with respect to all filings that SPAC or Acquirer elect to make or are required by law to make in connection with the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

15.    Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby abandoned at any time prior to the Closing: (a) by written consent of SPAC, Sponsor and Acquirer, (b) if the Closing has not occurred on or prior to June 25, 2023 and SPAC has not obtained the Extension, (c) by written notice to Sponsor and SPAC from Acquirer if there is any breach of representation, warranty, or covenant of Sponsor and/or SPAC such that the conditions specified in Section 8 of this Agreement would not be satisfied at the Closing, (d) by written notice to Acquirer from Sponsor or SPAC if there is any breach of representation, warranty, or covenant of Acquirer such that the conditions specified in Section 8 of this Agreement would not be satisfied at the Closing. In the event of the termination of this Agreement, this Agreement shall become void and of no further force or effect without liability of any Party (or any shareholder, director, officer, employee, affiliate, agent, consultant or representative of such Party) to the other Parties hereto; provided that, if such termination shall result from the willful and material breach by a Party of its covenants and agreements hereunder or common law fraud or willful and material breach in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, such Party shall not be relieved of liability to the other Parties for any such willful and material breach or common law fraud occurring prior to such termination. The provisions of Sections 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, and 16 will survive any termination of this Agreement.

Exhibit 99.1

Coliseum Acquisition Corp. Announces Cash Contribution to Trust Account in Connection with Proposed Extension Amendment, Planned Adjournment of Shareholders’ Meeting to Thursday, June 22, 2023, and Extension of Redemption Request Deadline

Business Wire

NEW YORK -- June 15, 2023

Coliseum Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company, ("Coliseum" or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: MITA) yesterday filed a supplement (the “Proxy Supplement”)to its proxy statement dated June 7, 2023 (the “Proxy Statement”) disclosing that it intends to open the Extraordinary General Meeting (the “Meeting”) as scheduled on June 20, 2023, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time, and then immediately adjourn the Meeting to June 22, 2023 at 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time to allow Coliseum additional time to engage with shareholders.

The Proxy Supplement also amends Proposal No. 1 in the Proxy Statement, which is the proposal to extend the period of time in which the Company must complete an initial business combination or liquidate the trust account that holds the proceeds of the Company’s initial public offering from June 25, 2023 to June 25, 2024(the “Extension”), to provide that if the proposal is approved by the shareholders at the Meeting, Coliseum Acquisition Sponsor LLC, the Company’s sponsor (“Sponsor”), or its affiliates or designees, will contribute to the Company as a loan (each loan, a “Contribution”) the lesser of (i) $100,000 and (ii) an aggregate amount equal to $0.04 multiplied by the number of public shares of the Company that are not redeemed in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the Extension, for each month of the Extension, commencing on June 25, 2023 (each such month period an “Extension Period”). There will be a maximum of twelve (12) Extension Periods. Each Contribution will be deposited in the trust account within two business days after the beginning of the Extension Period for which such Contribution is made.

The Sponsor will not make any Contribution unless the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved and the Company’s Articles of Association are amended. The Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) will have the sole discretion whether to continue extending for additional Extension Periods, and if the Board determines not to continue extending for additional Extension Periods, the additional contributions will cease. If this occurs, the Company would wind up the Company’s affairs and redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Company’s Articles of Association, as amended..

Berto LLC, an affiliate of Harry L. You, has agreed to fund the Contribution in connection with its acquisition of 70% of the founder shares and private placement warrants of the Company from the Sponsor.

The record date for determining Coliseum’s shareholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting remains the close of business on May 25, 2023 (the “Record Date”). Shareholders as of the Record Date can vote, even if they have subsequently sold their shares. Shareholders who have previously submitted their proxies or otherwise voted and who do not want to change their vote need not take any action. Shareholders who have not yet done so are encouraged to vote as soon as possible.

Because the Company intends to adjourn the meeting to June 22, 2023, the deadline for submission of public Class A ordinary shares for redemption will be extended to 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on June 20, 2023.

Shareholders who wish to withdraw their previously submitted redemption request may do so prior to the taking of the shareholders’ vote at the Meeting by requesting that the transfer agent return such shares.
