As previously disclosed, Relativity Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Relativity”), in its Current Report on Form 8-K that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 17, 2023, Relativity entered into a business combination agreement on February 13, 2023, as amended (the “Business Combination Agreement”), with SVES GO, LLC, SVES LLC, SVES CP LLC, and SVES Apparel LLC (together, “SVES”) and the other parties thereto. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Business Combination Agreement.
On August 15, 2023, Relativity issued a press release (the “Press Release”) announcing that a confidential draft of a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) has been submitted to the SEC, for receipt by the SEC on August 14, 2023, with respect to its proposed business combination (the “Business Combination”) with SVES. A copy of the Press Release is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Generally, statements that are not historical facts in this report are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements herein generally relate to future events or the future financial or operating performance of Relativity, SVES or the combined company expected to result from the Business Combination (the “Combined Company”). Relativity’s and SVES’ actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “budget,” “continue,” “could,” “expect,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “future,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “strategy,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “project,” “will,” “should,” “predict,” “scales,” “representative of,” “valuation,” or the negative of these terms, and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are based upon beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to management of Relativity or SVES and that, while considered reasonable by Relativity, SVES or their respective managements, as the case may be, are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors that are inherently uncertain and subject to material change. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting Relativity or SVES will be those that it has anticipated. New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all risks and uncertainties. Nothing in this report 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 in this report, which speak only as of the date they are made and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the cautionary statements herein and the risk factors of Relativity and SVES. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results. Most of these factors are outside the control of Relativity and SVES and are difficult to predict, including general economic conditions and other risks, uncertainties and factors set forth in Relativity’s SEC filings. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement; (2) the failure of SVES to find financing in connection with the Business Combination; (3) the inability to consummate the Business Combination in a timely manner or at all, including due to failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of Relativity or other conditions to the closing in the Business Combination Agreement, which may adversely affect the price of Relativity’s securities; (4) delays in obtaining or the inability to obtain any necessary regulatory approvals required to complete the Business Combination; (5) the risk that the Business Combination may not be completed by Relativity’s business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline if sought by Relativity; (6) the ability to maintain the listing of Relativity’s securities on a national securities exchange; (7) the inability to obtain or maintain the listing of the Combined Company’s securities on The Nasdaq Stock Market following the Business Combination; (8) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; (9) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination and to achieve its commercialization and development plans, and to identify and realize additional opportunities, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of SVES to grow and manage growth economically and to hire and retain key employees; (10) costs related to the Business Combination; (11) changes in applicable laws or regulations and SVES’ ability to comply with such laws and regulations; (12) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against SVES or against Relativity related to the Business Combination Agreement or the Business Combination; (13) the enforceability of SVES’ intellectual property, including its patents and the potential infringement on the intellectual property rights of others; (14) the risk of downturns in the highly competitive industry in which SVES operates; (15) the possibility that Relativity or SVES may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; and (16) other risks and uncertainties identified in the Registration Statement relating to the Business Combination, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and in other filings with the SEC made by Relativity or SVES. Relativity and SVES caution that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive, and caution readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Readers are referred to the most recent reports filed with the SEC by Relativity. None of Relativity or SVES undertakes or accepts any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based, subject to applicable law.
