Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On August 23, 2022, Sagaliam Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) issued a convertible promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) to Sagaliam Sponsor LLC, the Company’s sponsor (“Sponsor”). Pursuant to the Promissory Note, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate principal amount up to $1,500,000. The principal of this Promissory Note may be drawn down from time to time prior to the earlier of: (i) April 30, 2023 or (ii) the date on which the Company consummates an initial business combination with a target business (a “Business Combination”), upon written request from the Company to the Sponsor. The Promissory Note was issued to fund working capital of the Company. The Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and all outstanding amounts under the Promissory Note will be due on the earlier of: (i) April 30, 2023 or (ii) the date on which the Company consummates a Business Combination (the “Maturity Date”). If a Business Combination is not announced prior to December 23, 2022, the unpaid principal balance of the Promissory Note, and all other sums payable with regard to the Promissory Note, shall automatically and immediately become due and payable, in all cases without any action on the part of the Sponsor. All or a portion of the amounts outstanding under the Promissory Note may be converted on the Maturity Date into units at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the Sponsor. The units would be identical to the Company’s outstanding private placement units that were issued to the Sponsor in a private placement at the time of the Company’s initial public offering. The Promissory Note contains customary events of default, including, among others, those relating to the Company’s failure to make a payment of principal when due.

 

The foregoing description of the Promissory Note is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Promissory Note, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
