Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As previously disclosed, on January 18, 2024, Bowen Acquisition Corp (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among the Company, Bowen Merger Sub, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Shenzhen Qianzhi BioTechnology Co. Ltd. (“Qianzhi”) and Qianzhi Group Holding (Cayman) Limited, a newly formed Cayman Islands company (“NewCo”), which provides for a business combination between the Company and Qianzhi (the “Business Combination”).

 

Effective as of December 5, 2024, Bowen and NewCo entered into a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with an accredited investor (the “Investor”) pursuant to which the Company will issue an aggregate of 500,000 ordinary shares to the Investor at a price of $10.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,000,000 (the “PIPE”). The consummation of the PIPE is conditioned upon, among other things, the substantially concurrent consummation of the Business Combination and other customary closing conditions.

 

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Company has agreed that within 60 business days following the closing date of the Business Combination, it shall file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the resale by the Investor of the ordinary shares issued to it in the PIPE and use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as promptly as practicable thereafter.

 

The ordinary shares were offered and will be sold to the Investor in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), based on the fact that the sale will have been made without any general solicitation or advertising and based on representations from the Investor that (a) it was an accredited investor (to the extent applicable), (b) it was purchasing the shares for its own account investment, and not with a view to distribution, (c) it had been given access to full and complete access to information regarding the Company, Qianzhi and the Business Combination and (d) it understood that the offer and sale of the shares was not registered and the shares may not be publicly sold or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption therefrom.

 

The foregoing description of the Subscription Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Subscription Agreement. The Subscription Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

The information set forth in Item 1.01 is incorporated by reference herein.
