FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

ZOOZ POWER LTD. TO BECOME PUBLICLY TRADED ON NASDAQ THROUGH PROPOSED BUSINESS COMBINATION WITH KEYARCH ACQUISITION CORPORATION

  

TEL AVIV, Israel and NEW YORK, New York, July 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ZOOZ Power Ltd. (“ZOOZ”) (TASE: “ZOOZ”), a leading provider of flywheel-based power boosting solutions for the EV charging infrastructure market, and Keyarch Acquisition Corporation (“Keyarch”) (NASDAQ: “KYCHU” units, “KYCH” Class A ordinary shares, “KYCHW” warrants and “KYCHR” rights), a special purpose acquisition company, today announced that they have entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) and certain ancillary agreements related thereto. Following the closing of the transaction, ZOOZ is expected to be publicly listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “ZOOZ”, and will remain listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (“TASE”). After the closing, the merged company will continue to be called ZOOZ Power Ltd. The closing is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2023 and is subject to applicable closing conditions, including receipt of ZOOZ and Keyarch shareholder and regulatory approvals and a minimum of $10 million net cash at closing, along with other customary conditions.

 

Transaction values ZOOZ immediately prior to the closing at an agreed equity value of up to $100 million, which reflects $60 million at closing and up to $40 million of additional contingent consideration through issuance of Earnout Shares (as defined below) following the closing upon ZOOZ’s achievement of the applicable earnout milestones as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement.

 

The transaction is expected to provide a minimum of $10 million in net proceeds from cash held in Keyarch’s trust account and/or other sources.

 

ZOOZ is focused on the development, manufacturing and marketing of innovative Power Boosters aimed to support ultra-fast charging of electrical vehicles (EV).

 

ZOOZ pioneered an innovative flywheel-based power storage technology, allowing sustainable, long-lasting, reliable and cost-effective charging infrastructure, while avoiding performance degradation, recurring costs, sustainability issues and safety challenges associated with competing Li-Ion battery-based solutions.

 

ZOOZ (formerly known as Chakratec Ltd) was established in 2013 and is focused on the development and maturing of its innovative kinetic (flywheel-based) energy storage technology. With the rapid adoption of EVs, it became apparent that grid limitations are becoming a significant obstacle to deploying vast public fast-charging infrastructure. ZOOZ’s flywheel technology was adapted to the unique challenges of this rapidly evolving market, and with the purpose of being the core building block of its kinetic Power Booster aimed to enable ultra-fast charging of EVs anywhere, despite the power-limitations of the electrical grid.

 

ZOOZ launched its first-generation kinetic Power Booster in 2018 and deployed it in several sites in the EU.

 

As the EV charging market is rapidly evolving and growing, ZOOZ has recently introduced its second generation innovative ZOOZTER™-100 Power Booster and is working with its customers and partners in Israel, the EU and the US to fulfill its vision to accelerate a scalable roll-out of ultra-fast charging infrastructure, while overcoming limitations of existing grid limitations and allowing reliable and efficient operation with minimal total cost of ownership, over more than 15 years.

 

ZOOZ is based in Israel, is led by a highly-experienced management team and enjoys a highly-talented employee team, empowered by Israel’s strong start-up innovative culture.

 

“This transaction is an important phase for ZOOZ and comes at a perfect time. As we further develop our world-wide installed base and with the initiation of our US presence, we believe expanding from being traded on the TASE to being traded on Nasdaq as well, will provide us with enhanced geographic exposure and simpler access to working capital,” stated Avi Cohen, Chairman of ZOOZ. “We are excited about the partnership with Keyarch and we look forward to working together with their experienced executives,” he added.

 

Fang Zheng, Chairman of Keyarch, stated, "We believe that ZOOZ has leading technology that enables ultra-fast EV charging anywhere. Its environment-friendly, inherently safe, and lifetime cost effective power booster enjoys multiple advantages over alternative solutions. We are very excited at the opportunity to work with ZOOZ and grow the company into a significant player in accelerating EV revolution, where ultra-fast charging is a must and the existing grid has been a bottleneck.”

 

Boaz Weizer, CEO of ZOOZ, stated, “These are exciting times for ZOOZ, as we move forward with the introduction and deployment of our new innovative product – the ZOOZTER™-100 Power Booster – and doing so in perfect timing, aligned with significant acceleration and growth of the EV ultra-fast charging infrastructure market. In view of these developments, we believe it is the right time for us to join forces with Keyarch and list on Nasdaq. We see that as a significant milestone in ZOOZ’s journey to become a leading company in this rapidly evolving and exciting market of EV charging infrastructure.”

 

 

 

 

Transaction Details

 

·A newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of ZOOZ will merge with Keyarch, with Keyarch being the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ZOOZ, and with Keyarch shareholders and holders of Keyarch warrants receiving equivalent shares and warrants of ZOOZ as the successor company (ZOOZ, as the post-closing combined company, is referred to as the “Company”).

 

·The transaction values ZOOZ immediately prior to the closing at an agreed equity value of up to $100 million, which reflects $60 million at closing and up to $40 million of additional contingent consideration through issuance of Earnout Shares following the closing upon ZOOZ’s achievement of the applicable earnout milestones as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, such that following the closing, ZOOZ shareholders may receive up to 4,000,000 Earnout Shares (as described below) as additional consideration. Existing ZOOZ shareholders will receive no cash consideration, and will retain all of their current equity interests (after giving effect to a pre-closing recapitalization). It is estimated that, immediately following the closing of the proposed transaction, existing ZOOZ shareholders will own between 40% to 50% of the Company’s issued share capital on an as-issued basis (estimated range is subject to various parameters, such as redemption by Keyarch’s public shareholders and possible PIPE or other financing transactions and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, shares issuable upon exercise of Keyarch warrants).

 

·In addition, ZOOZ shareholders will be issued rights (the “Earnout Rights”) convertible into up to 4,000,000 ordinary shares of ZOOZ (the “Earnout Shares”) as additional contingent consideration, subject to the Company achieving certain earnout milestones based on gross revenues or share price, as more particularly set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. The earnout rights, the conversion thereof and the issuance of the earnout shares will be subject to tax pursuant to applicable law.

 

·As a condition to closing, the transaction is expected to deliver to ZOOZ a minimum of $10 million of net proceeds from cash held in Keyarch’s trust account and other sources. Such proceeds will be used by ZOOZ for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

·The board of directors of each of ZOOZ and Keyarch have unanimously approved the transaction. The transaction will require the approval of the shareholders of each of ZOOZ and Keyarch, the effectiveness of a registration statement to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with the proposed transaction, the effectiveness of an Israeli shelf offering report (which will cover the issuance of the Earnout Rights) to be filed with the Israel Securities Authority, and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions, including the receipt of certain regulatory approvals. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2023.

 

·Following the completion of the acquisition, the Company is expected to retain its experienced management team, with Boaz Weizer as CEO and Ruth Smadja as CFO.

 

The description of the transaction contained herein is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which will be filed by Keyarch with the SEC as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K.

Exhibit 99.2

 

 

This document is a translation of the Hebrew original. In case of differences, the Hebrew version shall prevail.

 

ZOOZ Power Ltd

 

(the “Company”)

 

Date: July 31, 2023

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

Re: Signing a Binding Agreement to Merge with a SPAC on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange

 

The Company is pleased to announce that on July 30, 2023 the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement and other related agreements (the “Merger Agreement” and the “Merger Transaction”, respectively) with a public company that was formed as a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (the “SPAC”) the securities of which are traded1 as of the date of publication of this Report on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“NASDAQ”); The SPAC is a third party unrelated to the Company (the Company and the SPAC, collectively, the “Parties”).

 

The purpose of the SPAC is to consummate a business combination through, among other things, a merger transaction, an asset purchase transaction, a share exchange, etc., within a given period of time2. The SPAC has raised, as part of an initial public offering (IPO) in early 2022, an amount of over USD 1003 million on the NASDAQ, and holds in its trust account, as of the date of this report, approximately USD 25 million in cash, following partial redemption of the shares of the SPAC4.

 

 

1The SPAC’s securities are traded under the symbols: NASDAQ: “KYCHU”, “KYCH”, “KYCHW”, “KYCHR”, “Keyarch”.
2In accordance with the SPAC’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, the SPAC must complete the aforementioned Business Combination by July 27, 2023 (the “Final Date for Completing the Merger Transaction”). On July 20, 2023, the general meeting of the SPAC’s shareholders approved the authorization of the SPAC Board of Directors to extend the Final Date for the Completing the Merger Transaction until October 27, 2023 and the authorization of the Board of Directors of the SPAC to extend the said date on a monthly basis by another three months until January 27, 2024.
3It should be noted that in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the SPAC, the Shareholders of the SPAC have the right to demand, until the date of the SPAC’s General Meeting to approve the Merger Transaction, the redemption of their investment in cash at the price of the SPAC’s IPO (“Redemption Right”).
4Such partial redemption was made by the public shareholders of the SPAC in accordance with their redemption right in connection with the special general meeting of the SPAC’s stockholders convened for the approval of an extension to the Final Date for the Business Combination.

 

 

 

 

 

The Parties intend to complete the Merger Transaction during the fourth quarter of 2023. Upon completion of the Merger Transaction, insofar as it is completed as described below, the Company will become a dual-listed company, whose shares, subject to applicable securities laws, are eligible for trading on each of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ Stock Exchange. The Company views this process as a significant and important step in the process of the Company’s growth and development, and in particular at the current timing, in light of advanced processes of market penetration and the supply of the Company’s systems to customers and business partners in Europe and the US, and in light of the acceleration in the growth of the charging infrastructure market for electric vehicles in these territories. The Company estimates that the business processes it is promoting, combined with its transformation into a dual-listed company and its exposure to the US capital market, are expected to improve its ability to raise working capital for the benefit of the growth of its business activities and contribute to positioning the Company as a leading supplier of energy storage systems that support the ultra-fast charging infrastructure for electric vehicles, and therefore these moves have the potential to maximize value to the Company’s Shareholders.

 

The Company intends to hold two investors calls via the ZOOM application on Monday, July 31, 2023, between 10:30 and 11:30 a.m., IST, and on Thursday, August 3, 2023, between 16:00 and 17:00 p.m., IST, to review the Merger Transaction and its future prospects. Also, before the calls on July 31, 2023, the Company will publish a presentation for the investors call.

Below are the main details in a condensed form in connection with the Merger Transaction, in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement:

 

1.The Merger: The Merger Transaction will be carried out as part of a Reverse Triangular Merger during which the SPAC will merge with a subsidiary of the Company (recently established for the purpose of the Merger Transaction) and thus become a Private Company fully owned by the Company. The aforementioned Merger will be carried out against the allocation of (a) Ordinary Shares of the Company (for the SPAC shares) and (b) traded warrants and non-traded warrants of the Company to the holders of various securities of the SPAC (for their securities in the SPAC) in accordance with the conditions detailed in the Merger Agreement. The shares and traded warrants that will be allocated as aforementioned will be listed for trading on the NASDAQ and the Company will become a Dual-Listed Company that will report in Israel in accordance with the “Dual Listing” rules.

2.The rights of existing Shareholders of the Company and the consideration: The valuation of the Company, immediately prior to the Merger Transaction, agreed upon in the negotiations between the Parties, as reflected in the transaction, was determined to be up to USD 100 million (as a total of 10 million shares are received at a value of $10 per share) in accordance with the detailed hereinafter. Accordingly, shortly before the completion of the Merger Transaction, the Company will carry out a recapitalization (reverse split), in such a way that all the shareholders of the Company as of the date of completion of the Merger will hold a total of approximately 6 million shares, with a value of USD 10 per share (the “Capital Consolidation”)5, meaning a total value of USD 60 million. In addition, the Company’s shareholders at the set date will be entitled, as mentioned above, for additional6 contingent consideration of up to 4 million shares, reflecting an agreed valuation of the Company, immediately prior to the Merger Transaction, of up to U$40 million, that would be payable following the closing upon ZOOZ’s achievement of the applicable earnout milestones as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, in the form of non-registered, non-transferable rights, as part of a Shelf Offering Report, that may be converted into Ordinary Shares of the Company (the “Non-Registered Rights” and the “Milestone Shares”, respectively), if the Company meets certain milestones stipulated in the Merger Agreement (based on share price or revenues) within 5 years from the date of completion of the Merger Transaction7.

 

 

5The Capital Consolidation will be carried out in accordance with the conversion ratio which is estimated as of the date of this report at approximately 11.6 (but may change according to several parameters until the completion of the merger) (the “Conversion Ratio”). In other words, the 6 million shares that will be held by the Company’s Shareholders will be received from Capital Consolidation in the above ratio of: (a) the total allocated Share Capital of the Company immediately before the completion of the transaction and in addition (b) the amount of Ordinary Shares that can be allocated as a result of the exercise of the Company’s Options and Warrants on a net exercise basis (except for the Company’s Options and Warrants which were excluded from the aforementioned formula as part of the Merger Agreement, which include the Series 3 Warrants and Options for Employees whose exercise price will be higher than USD 10 after the Capital Consolidation)
6In addition to the total of approximately 6 million Ordinary Shares that will be received from the Capital Consolidation and the completion of the Merger Transaction, as stated above.
7The allocation of the rights, the conversion of the rights (insofar as they are converted) and the allocation of the Milestone Shares (to the extent that they are allocated) will be subject to a tax arrangements that will apply to the Company in connection with the aforementioned in accordance with the provisions of the applicable law and the competent authorities.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Holders of the existing securities in the Company (Shareholders, Holders of Warrants) will continue to hold the same securities in the Company and they will not receive any monetary compensation.

 

The Company estimates at this stage that, immediately after the completion of the Merger Transaction, the holdings rate of the existing Shareholders in the Company will be approximately 40%-50% of the issued and paid-up capital of the Company (not on a fully diluted basis), subject to various conditions that are not known at this time, including engaging in and completing investment transactions (as detailed in Section 3 below) and the rates of redemption of the SPAC Shareholders, which may change the estimated holdings rate12 above.

 

3.The Cash Balances of the SPAC: Upon completion of the Merger Transaction, and the SPAC becoming a company fully owned by the Company, the cash balances of the SPAC will be added to the Company’s funds and will be used by the Company for its working capital needs and its current activities in accordance with its strategy and work plan, as decided from time to time by Company Management. A Condition Precedent to the completion of the Merger Transaction is that at least USD 10 million net13 in cash be left in the SPAC Fund (along with investment funds that may be received as part of the investment transactions as defined below) (the “Minimum Amount in the SPAC”).

 

4.Private investment transactions (PIPE): In accordance with the terms of the Merger Transaction, during the period until the completion of the Merger Transaction, the SPAC, with the assistance of the Company, may enter into investment agreements (PIPE) with third parties under conditions that will be agreed upon between the SPAC, the Company and the third parties, which will enter into force upon the completion of the Merger (the “Investment Transactions”). As part of the Investment Transactions, as soon as they are signed and completed, the Investors, subject to the completion of the relevant Investment Transaction, will be allocated securities under the conditions and price per share as determined in the relevant Investment Transaction. As of this date, binding terms have not yet been agreed upon with investors for Investment Transactions.

 

5.Registration Statement: The SPAC intends to take action so that the Company will submit to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) a draft of a Registration Statement, which includes a Prospectus (on Form F-4) for the Company’s Ordinary Shares and the Company’s traded Warrants that will be allocated at the time of completion of the Merger Transaction to the Holders of the Traded Shares and Warrants of the SPAC (the “Registration Statement”).

 

 

12It should be clarified that the holding rate estimated above does not take into account the exercise of traded and non-traded warrants as well as the exercise of the non-registered rights to the Milestone Shares. Additional and up-to-date details on the matter will be provided as part of the convening of the Company’s General Meeting to approve the Merger Transaction.
13After the payment of the transaction expenses of the SPAC and the Company and the payment of the remaining debts and obligations of the SPAC until the date of completion of the transaction, as detailed in the Merger Agreement.

In addition, each party will have the right to cancel the Merger Agreement on the occurrence of customary events in agreements of this type.

 

As stated, the Parties intend to complete the Merger Transaction during the fourth quarter of 2023, however it is clarified that at this stage there is no certainty that this will occur in light of the conditions precedent to the Merger Agreement as detailed above, including the dependence on agreements, approvals and actions of third parties.

Promptly after the publication of this Report, the SPAC will publish on the SEC’s EDGAR system (Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system) an announcement regarding the Merger Transaction along with a copy of the Merger Agreement and ancillary agreements, which will be available at the SEC’s EDGAR system.
