Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

The Merger Agreement

On June 21, 2022, Goldenstone Acquisition Limited (the “Registrant” or the “Parent") entered into a Merger Agreement (the “Agreement”) by and among Roxe Holding Inc, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the Registrant, Goldenstone Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant, and Amazon Capital Inc., solely in its capacity as representative, agent and attorney-in-fact of the Company Securityholders (the “Securityholder Representative”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”) with the Company as the surviving corporation of the Merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. In connection with the Merger, the Parent will change its name to “Roxe Holding Group Inc.” The Board of Directors of the Registrant (the “Board”) has unanimously (i) approved and declared advisable the Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) resolved to recommend approval of the Agreement and related matters by the stockholders of the Registrant.

Treatment of Company Securities

Common Stock. At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of the Class A common stock, par value $0.00002 per share of the Company, and Class B common stock, par value $0.00002 per share of the Company (the Class A common stock and Class B common stock are collectively referred to as the “Company Common Stock”), other than (i) shares of Company Common Stock held by the Registrant, Merger Sub or the Company, which will be cancelled, and (ii) any shares the holders of which exercise dissenters’ rights of appraisal, will be converted into the right to receive shares of the common stock of Parent, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Parent Common Stock”). The total number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued will be based on the valuation of the Company and will be calculated by dividing such valuation by $10.00. The valuation of the Company at the closing of the Merger will be $3.6 Billion, or such other amount as may be determined by a valuation firm in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Parent has engaged a valuation firm to provide such a valuation.

Options. Each vested and unvested stock option of the Company as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) will be converted into an option to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock with the number of shares that may be purchased thereunder and the exercise price proportionately adjusted to take account the Merger.

Earnout. Following the closing of the Merger certain recipients as shall be determined solely by the majority stockholder of the Company will be entitled to receive up to an additional aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock (the “Earn-Out Shares”) equal to 40% of the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issued in the Merger if, within a four- year period following the closing of the Merger, the closing share price of the Parent Common Stock equals or exceeds any of four thresholds over any 20 trading days within a 30-day trading period (each, a “Milestone Event”).

The Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties thereto with respect to, among other things, (i) entity organization, good standing and qualification, (ii) capital structure, (iii) authorization to enter into the Agreement, (iv) compliance with laws and permits, (v) taxes, (vi) financial statements and internal controls, (vii) real and personal property, (viii) material contracts, (ix) environmental matters, (x) absence of changes, (xi) employee matters, (xii) litigation, and (xiii) brokers and finders.

The exclusivity provisions terminate immediately upon the day that is 45 days following the date that is twelve months after the date of the Agreement or, in the event that the Agreement has been extended, 45 days following the date to which it has been extended.

Conditions to Closing

The consummation of the Merger is conditioned upon customary closing conditions including, among other things, (i) no authority having enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any law or order which is then in effect prohibiting the Merger; (ii) all applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended with respect to the Merger will have expired or been terminated, (iii) the receipt of all required consents for the Merger; (iv) no legal action has been commenced or asserted in writing (and not orally) by any authority to enjoin or otherwise materially restrict the consummation of the Merger; (v) after giving effect to any redemption of shares of Parent Common Stock in connection with the stockholder vote on the Merger, Parent will have net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon consummation of the Merger; (vi) receipt of all required approvals of the stockholders of Parent and the Company; (vii) the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in the Merger will been approved for listing on Nasdaq; (viii) the Form S-4 will have been declared effective and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Form S-4 will have been issued by the SEC that remains in effect and no proceeding seeking such a stop order will have been initiated by the SEC and not withdrawn; (ix) each party will have performed or complied with the provisions of the Agreement applicable to it, subject to agreed-upon standards; (x) each party’s representations and warranties included in the Agreement are true and correct, subject to agreed-upon standards; (xi) the absence of any material adverse effect with respect to a party to the Agreement; (xii) the receipt of customary closing certificates; (xiii) the execution by the relevant party or parties of all ancillary documents; (xiv) no more than five percent (5%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock will have exercised dissenters’ rights of appraisal; and (xv) the receipt by the Company of the resignations of the Registrant’s directors and officers.
