Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement
On February 14, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an investor pursuant to which the investor agreed to purchase shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company for an aggregate purchase price of $8.0 million, payable in two installments, with the first $2.0 million due February 15, 2024, and the remaining $6.0 million due by March 16, 2024.
The shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be convertible into a total of 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at the election of the holder. The Series A Preferred Stock will be subject to a call right providing the Company the right to call the stock if the volume weighted average price of the common stock for the 20 days prior to delivery of the call notice is greater than $5.00 per share and there is an effective resale registration statement on file covering the underlying common stock. The Series A Preferred Stock will be non-voting, will have no mandatory redemption, and will carry an annual 5% cumulative dividend, increasing by 2% each year. The Company also agreed that so long as the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company will not, without the written consent of the holders of 50.1% of the Series A Preferred Stock, amend, alter, or repeal any provision of the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws in a manner adverse to the Series A Preferred Stock.
The Series A Preferred Stock is being sold in a transaction exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Section 4(a)(2)”). The investor in the Series A Preferred Stock is an entity associated with Dr. Manmohan Patel, an existing investor in the Company and beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Company’s common stock.
Assignment and Assumption Agreement
In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, Semper Paratus entered into an agreement as of February 14, 2024 with SSVK Associates, LLC (“SSVK”), which was Semper Paratus’ sponsor, pursuant to which Semper Paratus assigned to SSVK and SSVK agreed to assume certain liabilities and obligations, including liabilities and obligations that would become liabilities and obligations of the Company as a result of the Business Combination, in the aggregate amount of more than $4.2 million, in consideration for the issuance of preferred stock of the Company (the “Series B Preferred Stock”).
The Series B Preferred Stock will be non-voting, non-convertible, callable by the Company at any time, and will pay a 3.5% quarterly dividend beginning March 21, 2024. Any dividend will be paid by the Company on behalf of SSVK to the creditors to which the assumed liabilities and obligations are owed, pro rata in accordance with those liabilities and obligations. The dividend rate will increase by 0.25% each month that the Series B Preferred Stock remains outstanding after the first 30 days after its issuance, but in no event will increase to more than 7.5% per quarter.
The Series B Preferred Stock will be issued pursuant to the exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2). SSVK was the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Company’s common stock as of consummation, and Suren Ajjarapu, managing member of SSVK, is a member of the Company’s board of directors.

WHEREAS, Assignor has entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger with Tevogen Bio Inc and the other parties thereto (the “Merger Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Company will issue preferred stock of the Company to Assignee; and Assignee desires to assume all of Assignor’s liabilities listed on Schedule I hereto.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, adequacy and legal sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties do hereby agree as follows:
1. Assignment. Assignor hereby assigns, transfers and conveys to Assignee all of the liabilities and obligations listed on Schedule I hereto, which include certain liabilities and obligations that will become liabilities and obligations of the Company as a result of the Merger Agreement.
2. Assumption.

3. Preferred Stock. The Company shall issue to Assignee preferred stock of the Company that shall be non-voting, non-convertible, callable by the Company at any time, and shall pay three and a half percent (3.5%) dividend per quarter for every quarter the preferred stock remains outstanding, commencing thirty-five (35) days after the closing, provided that for so long as the liabilities and obligations listed on Schedule I hereto are outstanding, any dividend will be paid by the Company on behalf of the Assignee to the creditors set forth on Schedule I, pro rata in accordance with the liabilities and obligations.
