Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On April 30, 2023, TG Venture Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”), and Tsangs Group Holdings Limited (the “Sponsor”), the Company’s sponsor, entered into an agreement (the “Non-Redemption Agreement”) with Bulldog Investors, LLP (“Bulldog”) and Phillip Goldstein (“Goldstein” and, together with Bulldog, the “Investors”) in exchange for the Investors agreeing not to redeem shares of the Company’s Class A common stock sold in the Company’s initial public offering (the “Public Shares”) at the Company’s special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) at which proposals to approve an extension of time for the Company to consummate an initial business combination (the “Extension Proposals”) from May 5, 2023 to November 5, 2023 (the “Extension”) have been submitted to the stockholders. The Non-Redemption Agreement provides for, among other things, the Sponsor to pay approximately $105,000 to the Investors in exchange for the Investors agreeing to hold and not redeem certain Public Shares at the Special Meeting.

 

The Non-Redemption Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (a) the failure of the Company’s stockholders to approve the Extension at the Special Meeting, (b) the fulfillment of all obligations of parties to the Non-Redemption Agreement, (c) the liquidation or dissolution of the Company, (d) the mutual written agreement of the parties, or (e) if the investor exercises its redemption rights with respect to any of the Public Shares subject to the Non-Redemption Agreement.

 

Additionally, pursuant to the Non-Redemption Agreement, the Company has agreed that until the earlier of (a) the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination; (b) the liquidation of the trust account; and (c) 24 months from consummation of the Company’s initial public offering, the Company will maintain the investment of funds held in the trust account in interest-bearing United States government securities within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), having a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. The Company has also agreed that it will not use any amounts in the trust account, or the interest earned thereon, to pay any excise tax that may be imposed on the Company pursuant to the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 (H.R. 5376) (the “Inflation Reduction Act”) due to any redemptions of public shares at the Special Meeting, including in connection with a liquidation of the Company if it does not effect a business combination prior to its termination date by the Company. The Non-Redemption Agreement is not expected to increase the likelihood that the Extension Proposals are approved by stockholders but will increase the amount of funds that remain in the Company’s trust account following the Special Meeting.

 

In connection with the Non-Redemption Agreement, the Company amended its advisory agreement with ThinkEquity LLC and agreed to pay ThinkEquity LLC an advisory fee of $50,000.

 

Also in connection with the Non-Redemption Agreement, a director of the Company agreed to provide a loan to the Sponsor in the principal amount of approximately $105,000.

 

The foregoing summary of the Non-Redemption Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the  Non-Redemption Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Participants in the Solicitation

 

The Company and its directors and executive officers and other persons may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the Company’s stockholders in respect of the Special Meeting, the Extension Proposals and related matters. Information regarding the Company’s directors and executive officers is available in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 29, 2023. Additional information regarding the participants in the proxy solicitation and a description of their direct and indirect interests are contained in the Company’s definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) in connection with the Special Meeting filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 10, 2023.

 

 

 

 

Non-Solicitation

 

This communication shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which the offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

Additional Information

 

The Company has filed the Proxy Statement with the SEC in connection with the Special Meeting to consider and vote upon the Extension Proposals and other matters and, beginning on or about April 12, 2023, mailed the Proxy Statement and other relevant documents to its stockholders as of the April 3, 2023 record date for the Special Meeting. The Company’s stockholders and other interested persons are advised to read the Proxy Statement and any other relevant documents that have been or will be filed with the SEC in connection with the Company’s solicitation of proxies for the Special Meeting because these documents contain important information about the Company, the Extension Proposals and related matters.

1.     Terms of Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement shall not limit the Investors’ Redemption Rights with respect to such Acquired Investor Shares after the conclusion of the Meeting.

5.       Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.
