Introductory Note
As previously disclosed, on
June 15, 2023, Coliseum Acquisition Corp., a Cayman islands exempted company (the “Company”), Coliseum Acquisition Sponsor
LLC (“Sponsor”) and Berto LLC, an affiliate of Harry L. You (the “Acquirer”), entered into a Purchase Agreement
(the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which Sponsor agreed to sell to Acquirer, and Acquirer agreed to purchase from Sponsor
an aggregate of (i) 2,625,000 Class B ordinary shares, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company (the “Class B ordinary
shares”) and (ii) 2,257,500 private placement warrants of the Company (the “Private Placement Warrants”) held by
Sponsor (collectively, the “Transferred Securities”) for an aggregate purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) of
$1.00 plus Acquirer’s agreement to advance funds to the Company in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the Extension
(as defined below) (the “Transaction”).
On June 26, 2023 (the
“Closing Date”), Mr. You paid the Purchase Price for the Transferred Securities and the Transaction was completed (the “Closing”).
The
foregoing description of the Transaction does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Purchase
Agreement, which was attached as Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on June 15, 2023,
and which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive
Agreement.
Amendment to the Investment
Management Trust Agreement
On
June 21, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Investment Management Trust Agreement
(the “IMTA”) with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”). Pursuant to
the Amendment, Section 1(c) of the IMTA was amended to provide that the Trustee may, at the direction of the Company (i) hold
funds uninvested, (ii) hold funds in an interest-bearing bank demand deposit account, or (iii) invest and reinvest the Property
in solely United States government securities within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
having a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of
Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (or any successor rule), which invest only in direct U.S.
government treasury obligations.
Promissory Note
As
disclosed in the definitive proxy statement dated June 7, 2023 (as supplemented by the proxy supplement dated June 14, 2023,
the “Proxy Statement”), relating to the Company’s extraordinary general meeting, Sponsor agreed that if the proposal
to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (“Articles”) to extend (the “Extension”)
the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination up to twelve (12) times for an additional one (1) month each
time (each, an “Extension Period”) from June 25, 2023 up to June 25, 2024 was approved, Sponsor or its designee
would deposit (the “Contribution”) into the trust account established in connection with the Company’s initial public
offering (the “Trust Account”) as a loan, an amount equal to the lesser of (x) $100,000 or (y) $0.04 per public
share multiplied by the number of public shares of the Company that were not redeemed in connection with the shareholder vote to approve
the Extension, for each month of the Extension Period elected by the Company’s board of directors.
As
previously disclosed, the Company’s shareholders approved the Extension on June 22, 2023 and an aggregate of 9,121,799 public
shares were validly tendered for redemption, leaving an aggregate of 5,878,201 public shares outstanding. The Company’s board of
directors has elected to effect the first Extension Period, extending the Company’s liquidation date to July 25, 2023. Accordingly,
the Sponsor or its designee must deposit $100,000 into the Trust Account for the first Extension Period. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement,
the Sponsor designated Acquirer as its designee to make the Contribution, and Acquirer agreed to make the Contribution subject to consummation
of the Transaction.
On
June 23, 2023, Acquirer advanced $100,000 to the Company for the first Extension Period.
In connection with the Contribution
and advances Acquirer may make in the future to the Company for working capital expenses, on June 22, 2023, the Company issued a
convertible promissory note to Acquirer with a principal amount up to $1.5 million (the “Note”). The Note bears no interest
and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination,
or (b) the date of the Company’s liquidation. If the Company does not consummate an initial business combination by the end
of the Extension Period, the Note will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or
otherwise forgiven. Upon the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination, the outstanding principal of the Note may
be converted into warrants, at a price of $1.50 per warrant, at the option of Acquirer. Such warrants will have terms identical to the
warrants issued to the Sponsor in a private placement that closed simultaneously with the Company’s initial public offering.
The
foregoing descriptions of the Amendment and the Note are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of the Amendment and the
Note, copies of which are attached as Exhibit 10.1 and 10.2 hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive
Agreement.
In connection with the Closing,
on June 26, 2023, the Company entered into a termination agreement (the “Termination Agreement”), pursuant to which the
Company terminated the Administrative Services Agreement with SC Management LLC dated June 22, 2021 and SC Management LLC forgave
and fully discharged all outstanding fees thereunder as of the date of the Closing.
The foregoing description
of the Termination Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Termination Agreement, which
is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.3 and which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.03 Creation
of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The
disclosure contained in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K with respect to the Note is incorporated by reference in this

shares into Class A ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis at any time and from time to time prior to the closing of a business combination
