Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Business Combination Agreement

 

Compute Health Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on October 7, 2020 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. On February 9, 2023, the Company entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Compute Health Corp., a Delaware corporation and direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub I”), Compute Health LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub II” and, together with Merger Sub I, the “Merger Subs”), Allurion Technologies Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Allurion (as defined below) (“Pubco”), and Allurion Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Allurion” and, collectively with the Company, the Merger Subs and Pubco, the “Parties”).

 

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, the business combination will be effected in three steps: (a) the Company will merge with and into Pubco (the “CPUH Merger,” the closing of the CPUH Merger, the “CPUH Merger Closing” and the time at which the CPUH Merger becomes effective, the “CPUH Merger Effective Time”), with Pubco surviving (Pubco, in its capacity as the surviving company in the CPUH Merger, the “Surviving Corporation”) and, after giving effect to such merger, becoming the publicly-listed company and the sole owner of each Merger Sub, (b) at least three (3) hours following the consummation of the CPUH Merger, Merger Sub I will merge with and into Allurion (the “Intermediate Merger,” the closing of the Intermediate Merger, the “Intermediate Merger Closing” and the time at which the Intermediate Merger becomes effective, the “Intermediate Merger Effective Time”), with Allurion surviving as the surviving company in the Intermediate Merger (Allurion, in its capacity as the surviving company in the Intermediate Merger, the “Intermediate Surviving Corporation”) and, after giving effect to such merger, becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Surviving Corporation and (c) thereafter, the Intermediate Surviving Corporation will merge with and into Merger Sub II (the “Final Merger,” and the time at which the Final Merger becomes effective, the “Final Merger Effective Time”) (the Final Merger, collectively with the CPUH Merger and the Intermediate Merger, the “Mergers” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the Ancillary Documents (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), the “Proposed Transactions”), with Merger Sub II surviving as the surviving company in the Final Merger (Merger Sub II, in its capacity as the surviving company of the Final Merger, the “Surviving Subsidiary Company”) and, after giving effect to such merger, remaining a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Surviving Corporation.

 

Upon the closing of the Mergers (collectively, the “Closing”), the Surviving Corporation expects to change its name to “Allurion Technologies, Inc.” and trade on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “ALUR”. The date on which the Closing actually occurs is hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date.”

 

The Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were unanimously approved by the boards of directors of each of the Company, Pubco and Allurion.

 

In connection with the Proposed Transactions, holders of Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value, of the Company (“Company Class A Common Stock”) will have the right to redeem their shares of Company Class A Common Stock. Holders of Company Class A Common Stock that do not elect to redeem their shares of Company Class A Common Stock in connection with the Proposed Transactions will receive, at the CPUH Merger Closing, 1.420455 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Pubco (“Pubco Common Stock” and such exchange ratio, the “CPUH Exchange Ratio”) in exchange for each non-redeemed share of Company Class A Common Stock held by such holder.

 

Additionally, in connection with the CPUH Merger, the warrant adjustment provision under the Company’s warrant agreement, dated February 4, 2021, between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, is expected to be triggered, and the Parties have agreed to take certain actions, described below, with respect to the applicability of such provision to the Proposed Transactions.

Consideration and Structure

 

The Business Combination Agreement provides that, among other things and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, the following transactions will occur:

 

a)

In connection with the CPUH Merger:

 

i.

immediately prior to the CPUH Merger Effective Time, each unit of the Company, each consisting of one share of Company Class A Common Stock and one-quarter of one warrant of the Company (the “Company Warrants”) (each, a “Company Unit”), outstanding immediately prior to the CPUH Merger Effective Time will be automatically detached and the holder thereof will be deemed to hold one share of Company Class A Common Stock and one-quarter of one Company Warrant;

 

ii.

immediately following the separation of the Company Units as described in clause (a)(i) above and at the CPUH Merger Effective Time, each share of Company Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the CPUH Merger Effective Time (other than dissenting shares, shares that are redeemed in connection with the Proposed Transactions and shares held by the Company as treasury stock or held by any subsidiary of the Company, the treatment of which is described in the Business Combination Agreement) will automatically be canceled and extinguished and will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Pubco Common Stock equal to the CPUH Exchange Ratio (with the aggregate number of shares of Pubco Common Stock that each holder of Company Class A Common Stock will have a right to receive to be rounded down to the nearest whole share);

 

iii.

immediately following the separation of the Company Units as described in clause (a)(i) above and at the CPUH Merger Effective Time, each Company Warrant outstanding immediately prior to the CPUH Merger Effective Time (after taking into account the CPUH Recapitalization (as defined below)) will cease to be a warrant with respect to Company Class A Common Stock and will be assumed by the Surviving Corporation and represent a number of shares of Pubco Common Stock calculated in accordance with the CPUH Exchange Ratio (subject to the outcome of the Consent Solicitation (as defined below));

 

iv.

at the CPUH Merger Effective Time, each share of capital stock of Pubco issued and outstanding immediately prior to the CPUH Merger Effective Time shall be redeemed by Pubco for par value; and

 

v.

notwithstanding clause (a)(ii) above, all shares of Company Class A Common Stock that are redeemed in connection with the Proposed Transactions will not be exchanged as described in clause (a)(ii) above but will instead, immediately prior to the CPUH Merger Effective Time, be canceled and cease to exist and will thereafter be redeemed for the applicable consideration, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations, set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, the organizational documents of the Company, the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated February 4, 2021, between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company and the S-4 Registration Statement (as defined below).

 

b)

In connection with the Intermediate Merger, Pubco will issue, or reserve for issuance, up to 37,812,000 shares of Pubco Common Stock to the equityholders of Allurion, as follows:

 

i.

immediately prior to the Intermediate Merger Effective Time, the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the outstanding convertible unsecured promissory notes issued by Allurion pursuant to that certain Convertible Note Purchase Agreement, dated December 22, 2021, by and among Allurion and the investors party thereto (the “Allurion Convertible Notes”), will be converted into the applicable number of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Allurion (“Allurion Common Stock”) provided for under the terms of such Allurion Convertible Notes (collectively, the “Allurion Convertible Notes Conversion”), and will thereafter no longer be outstanding and will cease to exist, and each holder thereof will thereafter cease to have any rights with respect thereto. Immediately following the Allurion Convertible Notes Conversion, at the Intermediate Merger Effective Time, all shares of Allurion Common Stock issued in the Allurion Convertible Notes Conversion will be canceled and converted into the right to receive Pubco Common Stock as described in clause (b)(ii) below;

ii.

at the Intermediate Merger Effective Time, (A) each share of Allurion Common Stock (other than dissenting shares and shares held by Allurion as treasury stock or held by any subsidiary of Allurion, the treatment of which is described in the Business Combination Agreement) issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Intermediate Merger Effective Time (including shares of Allurion Common Stock resulting from the Allurion Convertible Notes Conversion or issued or issuable in connection with the Incremental Financing (as defined below)) will automatically be cancelled and extinguished and will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Pubco Common Stock equal to the Intermediate Merger Exchange Ratio (as defined below) and (B) each share of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Allurion designated as Series A Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D-1 Preferred Stock, Series D-2 Preferred Stock and Series D-3 Preferred Stock (all such preferred stock, the “Allurion Preferred Stock” and, collectively with the Allurion Common Stock, the “Allurion Shares”) (other than dissenting shares and shares held by Allurion as treasury stock or held by any subsidiary of Allurion, the treatment of which is described in the Business Combination Agreement) issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Intermediate Merger Effective Time will automatically be cancelled and extinguished and will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Pubco Common Stock equal to (x) the aggregate number of shares of Allurion Common Stock that would be issued upon conversion of such issued and outstanding share of Allurion Preferred Stock into Allurion Common Stock based on the applicable conversion ratio immediately prior to the Intermediate Merger Effective Time multiplied by (y) the Intermediate Merger Exchange Ratio (in each case, with the aggregate number of shares of Pubco Common Stock that each holder of Allurion Shares will have a right to receive to be rounded down to the nearest whole share);

 

iii.

at the Intermediate Merger Effective Time, each option to purchase shares of Allurion Common Stock (whether vested or unvested) (each, an “Allurion Option”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Intermediate Merger Effective Time will cease to represent the right to purchase shares of Allurion Common Stock and will be converted automatically into an option (a “Rollover Option”) to purchase, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Allurion Options immediately prior to the Intermediate Merger Effective Time, the number of shares of Pubco Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the number of shares of Allurion Common Stock subject to the corresponding Allurion Option immediately prior to the Intermediate Merger Effective Time multiplied by Intermediate Merger Exchange Ratio, and each such Rollover Option will have an exercise price per share of Pubco Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) subject to such Rollover Option equal to (A) the exercise price per share of Allurion Common Stock applicable to the corresponding Allurion Option immediately prior to the Intermediate Merger Effective Time divided by (B) the Intermediate Merger Exchange Ratio;

 

iv.

at the Intermediate Merger Effective Time, each restricted stock unit award denominated in shares of Allurion Common Stock (whether vested or unvested) (each, an “Allurion RSU Award”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Intermediate Merger Effective Time will be assumed by Pubco and converted automatically into a restricted stock unit award denominated in shares of Pubco Common Stock, with same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Allurion RSU Awards immediately prior to the Intermediate Merger Effective Time, and relating to the number of shares of Pubco Common Stock equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Allurion Common Stock underlying the corresponding Allurion RSU Award immediately prior to the Intermediate Merger Effective Time multiplied by (B) the Intermediate Merger Exchange Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole share);

 

v.

at the Intermediate Merger Effective Time, (A) each warrant to purchase Allurion Common Stock or Allurion Preferred Stock that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Intermediate Merger Effective Time will be converted into a warrant to acquire shares of Pubco Common Stock, in an amount and at an exercise price and subject to such terms and conditions, in each case, as set forth on an allocation schedule to be delivered by Allurion to the Company no later than five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date and (B) the Surviving Corporation will become the obligor under such warrants; and

 

3

 

 

vi.

at the Intermediate Merger Effective Time, each share of capital stock of Merger Sub I issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Intermediate Merger Effective Time will be converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.0001, of the Intermediate Surviving Corporation.

 

c)

In connection with the Final Merger, at the Final Merger Effective Time, (i) each share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Intermediate Surviving Corporation issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Final Merger Effective Time will be cancelled and will cease to exist and (ii) each limited liability company interest of Merger Sub II issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Final Merger Effective Time will remain outstanding as a limited liability company interest of the Surviving Subsidiary Company.

 

“Intermediate Merger Exchange Ratio” means (a) the Aggregate Intermediate Merger Closing Merger Consideration (as defined below) divided by (b) the Fully Diluted Company Capitalization (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement); “Aggregate Intermediate Merger Closing Merger Consideration” means a number of shares of Pubco Common Stock equal to (a) 37,812,000 minus (b) (i) 1,500,000 multiplied by (ii) the Net Closing Cash Percentage; and “Net Closing Cash Percentage” means the percentage obtained by the following calculation: (a) $100,000,000 minus Net Closing Cash (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) divided by (b) $30,000,000; provided that (i) if Net Closing Cash equals or exceeds $100,000,000, then the Net Closing Cash Percentage shall be deemed to be zero and (ii) the Net Closing Cash Percentage will not exceed 100%.

 

In addition, Allurion stockholders, holders of Allurion RSU Awards and vested Allurion Options (the “Eligible Allurion Equityholders”) will have the right to receive (i) an aggregate of 4,500,000 shares of Pubco Common Stock if, from the date the Surviving Corporation’s registration statement on Form S-1 with respect to the resale of any Pubco Common Stock issued pursuant to the PIPE Financing (as defined below) is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) until five years after the Closing (the “Earnout Period”), the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of Pubco Common Stock on the NYSE, or any other national securities exchange on which the shares of Pubco Common Stock are then traded, is greater than or equal to $15.00 over any 20 trading days within any consecutive 30 trading day period, and (ii) an aggregate of an additional 4,500,000 shares of Pubco Common Stock (together with the shares referenced in clause (i), the “Contingency Shares”) in the aggregate if, during the Earnout Period, the VWAP of Pubco Common Stock on the NYSE, or any other national securities exchange on which the shares of Pubco Common Stock are then traded, is greater than or equal to $20.00 over any 20 trading days within any consecutive 30 trading day period. Additionally, in the event of a change of control of the Surviving Corporation (as described in the Business Combination Agreement), any unissued Contingency Shares will become payable to the Eligible Allurion Equityholders.

In addition to the foregoing, each Initial Allurion Supporting Stockholder agreed that, at any meeting of the holders of Allurion capital stock, each such Initial Allurion Supporting Stockholder will appear at the meeting, in person or by proxy, and cause its Subject Allurion Shares to be voted (a) to approve and adopt the Business Combination Agreement, the transactions contemplated thereby, and any other matters necessary or reasonably requested by Allurion for consummation of the Mergers; and (b) against any proposal that conflicts or materially impedes or interferes with, or would adversely affect or delay, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

 

The Allurion Support Agreement also prohibits the Initial Allurion Supporting Stockholders from, among other things, until the earlier of the Intermediate Merger Effective Time and the date and time, if any, that the Business Combination Agreement is terminated (i) transferring any of the Subject Allurion Shares or (ii) entering into any (A) option, commitment or other arrangement that would require the Initial Allurion Support Stockholders to transfer their Subject Allurion Shares, or (B) voting trust, proxy or other contract with respect to the voting or transfer of the Subject Allurion Shares. In addition, pursuant to the Allurion Support Agreement, each Initial Allurion Supporting Stockholder agreed not to (x) exercise any appraisal or dissenter’s rights relating to the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and (y) commence or participate in any claim or action against Allurion, either Merger Sub, the Company, Pubco or any of their respective affiliates relating to the negotiation, execution or delivery of the Allurion Support Agreement or the Business Combination Agreement.

The Company has a termination right if such support is not received within one month of the execution of the Business Combination Agreement. Allurion stockholders who execute joinders to the Allurion Support Agreement after the date of the Allurion Support Agreement will have their shares of Pubco Common Stock registered on a resale registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Resale Registration Statement”).
