Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On June 22, 2023, Chavant Capital Acquisition Corp., a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Chavant”), issued an unsecured note (the “Promissory Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $500,000.00 to its sponsor, Chavant Capital Partners LLC (the “Sponsor”). The Promissory Note bears interest at the rate of 10.0% per annum and is payable in full in cash upon the earlier of (i) the consummation of the Proposed Transaction (as defined below) and (ii) one year from the date of issuance. Chavant issued the Promissory Note in consideration for a loan from the Sponsor to fund the Company’s ongoing working capital requirements and to fund a portion of the amounts that the Company has agreed to deposit (in the aggregate, the “Deposit”) into the Company’s trust account established in connection with its IPO (the “Trust Account”) if its shareholders approve its request for an extension of its business combination deadline from July 22, 2023 to January 22, 2024 (the “Extension”), as more fully described in Chavant’s definitive proxy statement, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 22, 2023. Funds will be provided to the Sponsor for purposes of the loan by an entity affiliated with an existing investor in the Sponsor. Amounts that Chavant receives under the Promissory Note that are not used for the Deposit will be used for ongoing working capital and will not be deposited into the Trust Account. If the Company completes a business combination, it may repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account. In the event that a business combination does not close, the Company may use its working capital held outside of the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts, but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used for such repayment.

 

The “Proposed Transaction” refers to the previously announced business combination between Chavant and Mobix Labs, Inc. (“Mobix Labs”) pursuant to a Business Combination Agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), dated November 15, 2022, by and among Chavant, Mobix Labs and CLAY Merger Sub II, Inc., a Delaware corporation and newly formed, wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Chavant (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Mobix Labs, with Mobix Labs surviving the merger as a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Chavant.

 

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 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

 

The disclosure set forth above in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K regarding the issuance of the Promissory Note is incorporated by reference herein.

  

Important Information About the Proposed Transaction and Where to Find It

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K, including the exhibits filed herewith (the “Form 8-K”), relates to the Proposed Transaction between Mobix Labs and Chavant pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. Chavant has filed a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) with the SEC, which includes a preliminary prospectus and proxy statement of Chavant in connection with the Proposed Transaction, referred to as a proxy statement/prospectus. A proxy statement/prospectus will be sent to all Chavant shareholders as of a record date to be established for voting on the transaction. Chavant also will file other documents regarding the Proposed Transaction with the SEC.

 

Before making any voting decision with respect to the Proposed Transaction, investors and security holders of Chavant are urged to read the Registration Statement, the proxy statement/prospectus, and amendments thereto, and the definitive proxy statement/prospectus in connection with Chavant’s solicitation of proxies for its shareholders’ meeting to be held to approve the transaction, and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC in connection with the Proposed Transaction as they become available, because they will contain important information about Chavant, Mobix Labs and the Proposed Transaction.

 

 

 

 

Investors and securityholders will be able to obtain free copies of the Registration Statement, the proxy statement/prospectus and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC by Chavant through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov.

 

The documents filed by Chavant with the SEC also may be obtained free of charge at Chavant’s website at www.chavantcapital.com or upon written request to: Chavant Capital Acquisition Corp., 445 Park Avenue, 9th Floor New York, NY 10022.

 

NEITHER THE SEC NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES REGULATORY AGENCY HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED THE TRANSACTIONS DESCRIBED IN THIS FORM 8-K, PASSED UPON THE MERITS OR FAIRNESS OF THE TRANSACTION OR RELATED TRANSACTIONS OR PASSED UPON THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THE DISCLOSURE IN THIS FORM 8-K. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY CONSTITUTES A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Form 8-K contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Form 8-K, including statements regarding the benefits of the Proposed Transaction and the anticipated timing of the completion of the Proposed Transaction, the products offered by Mobix Labs and the markets in which it operates, the expected total addressable markets for the products offered by Mobix Labs, the advantages of Mobix Labs’ technology, Mobix Labs’ competitive landscape and positioning, and Mobix Labs’ growth plans, strategies and projected future results, are forward-looking statements. Some of these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words, including “may,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “will,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “predict,” “plan,” “targets,” “projects,” “could,” “would,” “continue,” “forecast” or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar expressions. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are based upon estimates, forecasts and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Chavant and its management, and Mobix Labs and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain and many factors may cause the actual results to differ materially from current expectations which include, but are not limited to:

 

· the risk that the Proposed Transaction may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of Chavant’s securities;
· the risk that the Proposed Transaction may not be completed by Chavant’s deadline for the Proposed Transaction and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the deadline for the Proposed Transaction if sought by Chavant;
· the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Proposed Transaction, including the adoption of the Business Combination Agreement by the shareholders of Chavant and the satisfaction of the minimum cash amount following redemptions by Chavant’s public shareholders;
· the lack of a third party valuation in determining whether or not to pursue the Proposed Transaction;
· the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement;
· the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Proposed Transaction on Mobix Labs’ business relationships, performance, and business generally;
· risks that the Proposed Transaction disrupts current plans of Mobix Labs and potential difficulties in Mobix Labs’ employee retention as a result of the Proposed Transaction;

 

2

 

 

· the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Mobix Labs or against Chavant related to the Business Combination Agreement or the Proposed Transaction;
· failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Transaction;
· the inability to meet and maintain the listing of Chavant’s securities (or the securities of the post-combination company) on Nasdaq;
· the risk that the price of Chavant’s securities may be volatile due to a variety of factors, including changes in the highly competitive industries in which Mobix Labs plans to operate, variations in performance across competitors, changes in laws, regulations, technologies including transition to 5G, global supply chain, U.S./China trade or national security tensions, and macro-economic and social environments affecting Mobix Labs’ business and changes in the combined capital structure;
· the inability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the completion of the Proposed Transaction, and identify and realize additional opportunities;
· the risk that Mobix Labs is unable to successfully commercialize its semiconductor products and solutions, or experience significant delays in doing so;
· the risk that Mobix Labs may never achieve or sustain profitability;
· the risk that Mobix Labs will need to raise additional capital to execute its business plan, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all;
· the risk that the post-combination company experiences difficulties in managing its growth and expanding operations;
· the risks relating to long sales cycles, concentration of customers, consolidation and vertical integration of customers, and dependence on manufacturers and channel partners;
· the risk that Mobix Labs may not be able to consummate planned strategic acquisitions, or fully realize anticipated benefits from past or future acquisitions or investments;
· the risk that Mobix Labs’ patent applications may not be approved or may take longer than expected, and Mobix Labs may incur substantial costs in enforcing and protecting its intellectual property;
· inability to complete the PIPE investment in connection with the Proposed Transaction; and
· other risks and uncertainties set forth in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in Chavant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December, 31, 2022, which was filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023 (the “2022 Form 10-K”), as such factors may be updated from time to time in Chavant’s filings with the SEC, the Registration Statement and the proxy statement/prospectus contained therein. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements.

 

Nothing in this Form 8-K should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Neither Chavant nor Mobix Labs gives any assurance that either Chavant, Mobix Labs or the combined company will achieve its expected results. Neither Chavant nor Mobix Labs undertakes any duty to update these forward-looking statements, except as otherwise required by law.

 

Participants in the Solicitation

 

Mobix Labs and Chavant and their respective directors and officers and other members of management may, under SEC rules, be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from Chavant’s stockholders with the Proposed Transaction and the other matters set forth in the Registration Statement. Information about Chavant’s directors and executive officers is set forth in Chavant’s filings with the SEC, including Chavant’s 2022 Form 10-K and the Registration Statement. Additional information regarding the direct and indirect interests, by security holdings or otherwise, of those persons and other persons who may be deemed participants in the Proposed Transaction may be obtained by reading the proxy statement/prospectus regarding the Proposed Transaction when it becomes available. You may obtain free copies of these documents as described above under “Important Information About the Proposed Transaction and Where to Find It.”

c) Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Note shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretation, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Note (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan (the “New York Courts”). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of this Note), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such New York Courts, or such New York Courts are improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Note and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.

Any waiver by the Company or the Holder of a breach of any provision of this Note shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Note.

e) Severability.

f) Execution and Counterparts. This Note may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

 

3

 

 

g) Successors and Assigns. This Note shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties and shall inure to the benefit of each such holder. Neither party may assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto.

 

h) Remedies and Other Obligations. The remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Note at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief). Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company shall provide all information and documentation to the Holder that is requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Note.

 

i) Trust Waiver. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind (“Claim”) in or to any distribution of or from the trust account into which the proceeds of the Company’s initial public offering and the proceeds of the sale of the warrants issued in the private placement in connection with the consummation of the initial public offering were deposited, as described in greater detail in the registration statement and prospectus filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the initial public offering, and hereby agrees not to seek recourse, reimbursement, payment or satisfaction for any Claim against the trust account for any reason whatsoever.

 

j) Next Business Day. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

k) Headings. The headings contained herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Note and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
