Vision Sensing Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: VSACU, VSAC,
VSACW) (the “
Company” or
“
VSAC”), has mutually agreed with Mediforum Co.,
Ltd. (“
Mediforum”) to termination of the Agreement
and Plan of Merger dated as of January 12, 2024. The parties agreed
that it would not be possible for them to complete the proposed
transaction within a reasonable period of time and have waived any
claims against each other.
Concurrently, VSAC is pleased to announce that
it has entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Delaware
incorporated Convergence CT, Inc. (“CCT”) to
complete a business combination between the Company and CCT
pursuant to which VSAC will directly or indirectly acquire 100% of
the outstanding equity of the Company in exchange for the
consideration described below (the “Business
Combination”). The legal transaction structure (including
any pre-closing reorganization) will be determined by the Parties
based on business, legal, tax, accounting, and other considerations
(and, in the event the transaction structure results in a person
other than VSAC being the parent listed company, references in this
term sheet to the Surviving Entity will be deemed to mean such new
parent company, as applicable).
CCT optimizes hospital workflows through
tailored smart hospital solutions and implementation services,
integrating IoT and AI to enhance patient care. With over 20 years
of expertise, CCT is a forerunner in healthcare data integration.
CCT’s proprietary technological capabilities empower healthcare
providers, life sciences companies, payers, and governments with
valuable global health insights. CCT’s current management team is
expected to continue running the combined company after the
transaction. The Combined Company Is Expected to trade on the
NASDAQ post-closing under a new ticker symbol to be determined.
“CCT is thrilled to announce the merger with
VSAC and its debut on the NASDAQ. With our recent expansions into
Japan and Malaysia and integrated technology platform, we are
poised for significant growth in Asia and in other parts of the
world. We believe our unique integrated technological capabilities
and the increasing demand within the healthcare sector for such
systems have created significant opportunities for growth and
profitability. Our listing on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange will
provide our shareholders with increased access to capital and
enhanced valuation of our business. CCT’s corporate culture,
centered on technology, innovation, and leadership, underscores its
commitment to transformative smart hospital solutions.
George Sobek, Chief Executive Officer of VSAC
added, “We are excited about the business combination with CCT and
the opportunity the transaction affords to our investors. CCT has a
unique platform for service to medical professionals and their
patients in the management of patient care, provision of data, and
a platform to improve medical outcomes.”
Key Transaction Terms
Under the terms of the non-binding LOI, a new
company will be formed in an offshore jurisdiction to be determined
(“PubCo”) for the purpose of participating in the transactions
contemplated in the Merger Agreement and becoming the publicly
trade holding company for the Surviving Corporation of CCT and
VSAC. Details of the final structure will be determined prior to
the signing of a binding Business Combination Agreement, expected
to be completed within 45 days.
The total consideration provided to CCT’s equity
holders (including holders of vested stock options) (the
“Existing Equity Holders”) in the Business
Combination will be US$135 million (the “Transaction
Consideration”), calculated on a cash-free, debt-free
basis and assuming normalized levels of working capital. The
Transaction Consideration shall be paid by an initial upfront
equity transfer to existing CCT shareholders in the amount of
US$110 million (the “Initial Payment”) and payment
of an additional 2.5 million earn-out shares into a trust account
to be established for this purpose (the “Earn-Out
Shares” and the “Earn-Out Trust”). The
Earn-Out Shares shall be released to the original CCT shareholders
in the second year after the Closing of the Business Combination in
an amount proportional to the Company’s cumulative performance
against pre-agreed EBITDA targets (to be determined in the business
combination agreement) with the balance of Earn-Out Shares then
cancelled.
The Transaction Consideration is premised on the
current valuation of the Company as estimated by the parties and is
subject to adjustment by mutual agreement of the Parties following
further diligence and review. Any shares issued as part of the
Transaction Consideration will be restricted as to trading and will
be required to be subject to a lock-up for a period of 6 months
following the Closing.
The initial board of directors of the Surviving
Entity will have 5 directors, consisting of: (i) 3 directors
designated prior to the Closing by the Company, 1 of which shall be
considered independent under Nasdaq requirements; (ii) 1 director
designated by VSAC and (iii) 1 additional director as mutually
agreed by VSAC and the Company prior to the closing. The majority
of directors shall be required to be considered independent and
meet other requirements under Nasdaq rules and regulations.
The obligations of the Parties to consummate the
transaction will be subject to customary closing conditions for a
transaction of this nature, including completion of required Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”)
approved audits for the Company for the fiscal years ending 31
December 2022 and 2023, and any required interim statements. The
Parties have agreed to a target date for signing of a binding
Business Combination Agreement by no later than August 31,
2024.

harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. VSAC’s and CCT’s actual results may differ from their

may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) the
occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could
give rise to the termination of the LOI relating to the proposed
business combination; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that
may be instituted against VSAC or CCT following the announcement of
the LOI and the transactions contemplated therein; (3) the
inability to complete the business combination, including due to
failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of VSAC or other
conditions to closing in the Merger Agreement; (4) delays in
obtaining or the inability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals
(including approval from insurance regulators) required to complete
the transactions contemplated by the LOI; (5) the occurrence of any
event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the
termination of the LOI or could otherwise cause the transaction to
fail to close; (6) the inability to obtain or maintain the listing
of the post-acquisition company’s ordinary shares on Nasdaq
following the business combination; (7) the risk that the business
combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of
the announcement and consummation of the business combination; (8)
the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the business
combination, which may be affected by, among other things,
competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage
growth profitably and retain its key employees; (9) costs related
to the business combination; (10) changes in applicable laws or
regulations; (11) the possibility that CCT or the combined company
may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or
