PROXY STATEMENT FOR SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

OF

PHP VENTURES ACQUISITION CORP.

 

PROSPECTUS FOR UP TO 85,839,490 ORDINARY SHARES,

2,875,000 WARRANTS,

AND 2,875,000 ORDINARY SHARES UNDERLYING WARRANTS

OF

MODULEX MODULAR BUILDINGS PLC

 

The board of directors (the “PHP Board”) of PHP Ventures Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“PHP”), has unanimously approved the business combination agreement (“Business Combination Agreement”), dated as of December 8, 2022, by and among PHP, Modulex Modular Buildings Plc, a company incorporated in England and Wales (the “Company” or “Modulex”) and Modulex Merger Sub, an exempted company formed in the Cayman Islands and wholly-owned subsidiary of Modulex (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, PHP will merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving the merger (the “Business Combination”). As a result of the Business Combination, and upon consummation of the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Transactions”), PHP will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Modulex, with the securityholders of PHP becoming securityholders of Modulex on a post-Transactions basis (the “Combined Company”), and Merger Sub will change its name to “Modulex Cayman Limited”, and amend and restate the memorandum and articles of association of such Combined Company in form and substance mutually acceptable in good faith to Modulex and PHP. Immediately prior to the effective time of the Business Combination (the “Effective Time”), pursuant to a recapitalization, Modulex intends to effect a share consolidation (the “Consolidation”) of its ordinary shares with a nominal value of £0.01 each (the “Modulex Ordinary Shares”), including those arising on conversion of all then-outstanding securities of Modulex that are convertible, exchangeable or exercisable Modulex Ordinary Shares (the “Company Convertible Securities”), including without limitation each Modulex Ordinary Share arising on conversion of each outstanding 250,000 preference B shares (the “Modulex Preference Shares”), each of the outstanding warrants to purchase Modulex Ordinary Shares, including any warrants issued subsequent to the date of the Business Combination Agreement (collectively, the “Continuing Company Warrants”) and any other securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for Modulex Ordinary Shares that may be issuable upon exercise of statutory or contractual pre-emptive rights of the Company, using a conversion ratio set forth in the Business Combination Agreement (the “Conversion Ratio”) that will result in all of the issued Modulex Ordinary Shares and all Modulex Ordinary Shares arising on conversion of all then-outstanding Company Convertible Securities, after giving effect to the Consolidation having an aggregate market value equal to approximately $600,000,000 (the “Total Deal Value”), such that as a result of such recapitalization, each Modulex Ordinary Share shall be valued at $10.00 per share and each of the outstanding Continuing Company Warrants shall be adjusted using the Conversion Ratio to reflect the recapitalization (the aggregate actions in this paragraph comprising the “Recapitalization”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Total Deal Value shall exclude any Modulex Ordinary Shares to be issued or issuable in connection with the PIPE Investment (as defined below) following the Recapitalization. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, assuming the Consolidation and Recapitalization have occurred, at the Effective Time, (a) each share of PHP common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“PHP Common Stock”), outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, will be exchanged for one ordinary share of the Combined Company (each, a “Combined Company Ordinary Share” and collectively, the “Combined Company Ordinary Shares”), (b) each PHP warrant entitling the holder to purchase one share of PHP Common Stock per warrant at a price of $11.50 per whole share (each, a “PHP warrant”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be assumed by Modulex and will become one Combined Company warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Combined Company Ordinary Share per Combined Company warrant at a price of $11.50 per whole share (the “Modulex warrants”), and (c) each PHP right, entitling the holder thereof to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of PHP Common Stock (each, a “PHP right”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall automatically convert whereby each holder of ten (10) outstanding PHP rights shall, at the Effective Time, receive one (1) Combined Company Ordinary Share in exchange therefor (i.e., holders of PHP rights must hold rights in multiples of ten (10) in order to receive shares for all of their PHP rights upon closing of the Business Combination).

 

 
 

 

The Business Combination Agreement permits PHP and Modulex to enter into and consummate subscription agreements in form and substance mutually acceptable in good faith to PHP and Modulex (each, a “Subscription Agreement”) among potential investors (the “PIPE Investors”) for an aggregate subscription target of $30,000,000 in connection with one or more private placements in PHP and/or Modulex, to purchase Modulex Ordinary Shares and/or PHP Class A common stock, in each instance, to be consummated immediately prior to the Effective Time subject to the condition that the Closing occurs (the “PIPE Investment”). Any Modulex Ordinary Shares issued in connection with the PIPE Investment shall be issued following the consummation of the Recapitalization but prior to the Effective Time, and accordingly, the number of Modulex Ordinary Shares, purchase price per share and other terms of the PIPE Investment shall not be affected in any manner by the Recapitalization. The closing of any PIPE Investment will be conditioned upon the consummation of the Transactions. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Modulex has entered aggregate subscriptions for [●]% of Modulex Ordinary Shares for aggregate proceeds of $[●]. We refer to PIPE Investments raised by Modulex as the “Pre-Transaction Financing.”

 

In connection with the initial public offering of PHP, which was consummated on August 16, 2021, PHP and EF Hutton, division of Benchmark Investments, LLC, in its capacity as managing underwriter (the “Underwriter”) entered into the Underwriting Agreement dated as of August 16, 2021.

 

This proxy statement/prospectus covers the Combined Company Ordinary Shares and Combined Company warrants issuable to the securityholders of PHP, as described above. Accordingly, we are registering up to an aggregate of 85,839,490 Combined Company Ordinary Shares, 2,875,000 Combined Company warrants, and 2,875,000 Combined Company Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants.

 

Proposals to approve the Business Combination Agreement and the other matters discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus will be presented at the special meeting of PHP stockholders scheduled to be held on [●], 2023 in virtual format.

 

Modulex is incorporated in England and Wales and is not currently a United States public reporting company. Following the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part and the closing of the Business Combination, Modulex will become the Combined Company, as referenced herein, and will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Modulex intends to apply for listing of the Combined Company Ordinary Shares and Combined Company warrants on Nasdaq under the symbol “MDLX” and “MDLXW”, respectively, at the consummation of the Business Combination. It is a condition of the consummation of the Transactions that the Combined Company Ordinary Shares are approved for listing on the Nasdaq (subject only to official notice of issuance thereof). While trading on Nasdaq is expected to begin on the first business day following the date of completion of the Business Combination, there can be no assurance that the Combined Company’s securities will be listed on Nasdaq or that a viable and active trading market will develop. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 46 for more information.

 

The Combined Company will be an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 and is therefore eligible to take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements otherwise applicable to other public companies.

 

The accompanying proxy statement/prospectus provides PHP stockholders with detailed information about the Business Combination and other matters to be considered at the special meeting of PHP. We encourage you to read the entire accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and other documents referred to therein, carefully and in their entirety. You should also carefully consider the risk factors described in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 46 of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

 

None of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any foreign or state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the securities to be issued in connection with the Business Combination or determined if this proxy statement/prospectus is accurate or adequate. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

 

This proxy statement/prospectus incorporates important business and financial information about the registrant that is not included in or delivered with the document. This information is available without charge to security holders upon written or oral request to Laurel Hill Advisory Group, LLC, 2 Robbins Lane, Suite 201, Jericho, NY 11753, Telephone No.: (855) 414-2266. To obtain timely delivery, security holders must request the information no later than five business days before the date they wish to make their investment decision, by [●], 2023.

 

This proxy statement/prospectus is dated [●], 2023, and is first being mailed to PHP stockholders on or about [●], 2023.

INDUSTRY AND MARKET DATA

 

Unless otherwise indicated, information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus concerning Modulex’s industry and the regions in which it operates, including Modulex’s general expectations and market position, market opportunity, market share and other management estimates, is based on information obtained from various independent publicly available sources and other industry publications, surveys and forecasts.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE BUSINESS COMBINATION AND

THE SPECIAL MEETING

 

The questions and answers below highlight only selected information set forth elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus and only briefly address some commonly asked questions about the special meeting and the proposals to be presented at the special meeting, including with respect to the proposed Business Combination. The following questions and answers do not include all the information that may be important to PHP stockholders. PHP stockholders are urged to carefully read this entire proxy statement/prospectus, including the annexes and the other documents referred to herein, to fully understand the proposed Business Combination and the voting procedures for the special meeting.

 

Q: Why am I receiving this proxy statement/prospectus?

 

A: PHP and Modulex have agreed to a business combination under the terms of the Business Combination Agreement that is described in this proxy statement/prospectus. A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A, and PHP encourages its stockholders to read it in its entirety. PHP’s stockholders are being asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Business Combination Agreement and the Transactions contemplated therein, which, among other things, provides for PHP to merge with and into Merger Sub with Merger Sub surviving the Business Combination as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Modulex, and the other Transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. See “Proposal One — The Business Combination Proposal.

 

Q: Are there any other matters being presented to stockholders at the meeting?

 

A: In addition to voting on the Business Combination Proposal (as defined herein), the stockholders of PHP will vote on the following proposals:

 

To consider and vote on a proposal to approve the Merger Proposal(as defined herein), so the plan of merger is authorized, approved and confirmed in all respects; and PHP is authorized to merge with and into Merger Sub so that Merger Sub is the surviving entity and all the undertaking, property and liabilities of PHP vest in the surviving entity by virtue of such merger pursuant to the Cayman Islands Act and the DGCL. See Proposal Two – Merger Proposal.
   
To consider and vote on the Nasdaq Proposal (as defined herein) to approve, for purposes of complying with applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules, the issuance of more than twenty percent (20%) of the issued and outstanding PHP Common Stock in connection with the PIPE Investment. See Proposal Three — The Nasdaq Proposal.
   
To consider and vote upon the PHP Charter Proposal (as defined herein) to amend, immediately following and in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, the Existing PHP Charter by adopting the Restated Charter attached hereto as Annex B . See Proposal Four — PHP Charter Proposal.
   
To consider and vote upon the Adjournment Proposal (as defined herein) to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, if the parties are not able to consummate the Business Combination. See Proposal Five — The Adjournment Proposal.

 

9
 

 

PHP will hold the special meeting of its stockholders to consider and vote upon these proposals. This proxy statement/prospectus contains important information about the proposed Business Combination and the other matters to be acted upon at the special meeting. Stockholders should read it carefully.

 

The vote of stockholders is important. Regardless of how many shares you own, you are encouraged to vote as soon as possible after carefully reviewing this proxy statement/prospectus.

 

Q: Are the Proposals conditioned on one another?

 

A: Unless the Business Combination Proposal is approved, the Merger Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, and the PHP Charter Proposal will not be presented to the stockholders of PHP at the Special Meeting. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on the approval of any other Proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. It is important for you to note that in the event that the Business Combination Proposal does not receive the requisite vote for approval, then we will not consummate the Business Combination. If PHP does not consummate the Business Combination and fails to complete an initial business combination by August 16, 2024 (subject to an additional twelve (12), one-month extensions upon the Sponsor or its affiliates or permitted designees depositing extension payments in the amount of the lesser of (x) 40,000 or (y) $0.04 per share for each public share outstanding as of each of the twelve (12), one-month extensions, per month into the Trust Account in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Trust Agreement for which the Sponsor receives a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note, payable upon consummation of a Business Combination, in exchange, commencing August 16, 2023, as was approved by PHP Stockholders on August 15, 2023 in an amendment to the Existing PHP Charter or such later date as may be approved by PHP’s stockholders in an amendment to the Existing PHP Charter), PHP will be required to dissolve and liquidate its Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to its stockholders.

 

Q: Why is PHP providing stockholders with the opportunity to vote on the Business Combination?

 

A: The Delaware General Corporation Law and Nasdaq rules applicable to PHP, require PHP to obtain the approval of its stockholders for transactions such as the Business Combination. Also, pursuant to the PHP Charter, PHP is required to provide stockholders with an opportunity to have their shares of PHP Common Stock redeemed for cash, either through a stockholder meeting or tender offer. Due to the structure of the Transactions, PHP is providing this opportunity through a stockholder vote.

 

Q: Why am I receiving this proxy statement/prospectus if I only own PHP warrants?

 

A: The PHP warrants will become exercisable following the Business Combination and will become Combined Company warrants that entitle holders to purchase Combined Company Ordinary Shares, as described in more detail herein. This proxy statement/prospectus includes important information about PHP and the business of Modulex and its subsidiaries following the closing of the Business Combination. Because holders of PHP warrants will become holders of Combined Company warrants that entitle the holder to purchase Ordinary Shares after the closing of the Business Combination, we urge you to read the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus carefully.

 

Q: What will happen upon consummation of the Business Combination?

 

A: Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the PHP Common Stock and PHP rights will be automatically exchanged for Combined Company Ordinary Shares (whereby the PHP rights will be converted in units of ten (10) PHP rights for one Combined Company Ordinary Share and only units of ten (10) PHP rights will convert) and the PHP warrants will be exchanged for Combined Company warrants, as described herein. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, PHP units will be split into their component parts of PHP Common Stock, PHP rights and PHP warrants, and likewise exchanged, as set forth above. The PHP units will cease to be outstanding. Following consummation of the Business Combination, PHP Common Stock, PHP rights and PHP warrants will have been exchanged, as described above, and will consequently cease to be publicly traded on the Nasdaq. Modulex intends to apply for listing of the Combined Company Ordinary Shares and Combined Company warrants on the Nasdaq under the symbol “MDLX” and “MDLXW”, respectively, to be effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination. It is a mutual condition of the parties to the Closing, subject to waiver, that the Combined Company Ordinary Shares and Combined Company warrants are accepted for listing on the Nasdaq. While trading on the Nasdaq is expected to begin on the first business day following the consummation of the Business Combination, there can be no assurance that the Combined Company’s securities will be listed on the Nasdaq (if that requirement is waived by the parties to the Business Combination Agreement) or that a viable and active trading market will develop. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Combined Company Following the Business Combination” for more information.

Q: Why is PHP proposing the Business Combination?

 

A: PHP was organized to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities.

 

On August 16, 2021, PHP consummated its initial public offering (the “PHP IPO”) of units, with each unit consisting of one share of its Class A common stock, one-half of one redeemable warrant, and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of PHP’s Class A common stock raising total gross proceeds of $57,500,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the PHP IPO, PHP consummated the sale of 293,400 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per unit in a private placement to its Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $2,934,000. The net proceeds from the IPO and a portion of the proceeds of the private placement, $58,075,000 in the aggregate, were placed in a trust account established for the benefit of PHP’s public stockholders (the “Trust Account”). Since the PHP IPO, PHP’s activity has been limited to the evaluation of business combination candidates. The net trust balance as of August 25, 2023 ( after two charter amendments, on December 30, 2022 and August 15, 2023 and the related PHP public shareholder redemptions) is approximately $9,417,876.

 

PHP believes Modulex presents an appealing market opportunity and growth profile, a strong position in its industry and a compelling valuation. As a result, PHP believes that the Business Combination will provide PHP stockholders with an opportunity to participate in the ownership of a company with significant growth potential. See Proposal One — The Business Combination Proposal; Proposal Two — The Merger Proposal; PHP’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Business Combination and Recommendation of the Board of Directors.”

 

Q: Did PHP’s board of directors obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in determining whether to proceed with the Business Combination?

 

A: Yes. PHP retained Houlihan Capital, LLC (“Houlihan) as its financial advisor in connection with the Business Combination for a non-contingent fee of $200,000, of which $80,000 due upon execution of the agreement, with the remainder of $120,000 due within 90 days of public disclosure of the opinion. In connection with this engagement, the PHP Board requested that Houlihan evaluate the fairness of the Total Deal Value, from a financial point of view, to the PHP stockholders. Houlihan delivered a written fairness opinion to the PHP Board dated November 30, 2022, in which it concluded that, as of such date and based on and subject to the matters described therein, Houlihan was of the opinion that the Total Deal Value is fair from a financial point of view to the PHP stockholders. See “Proposal One — The Business Combination Proposal — Opinion of PHP’s Financial Advisor.” See also the Houlihan Fairness Opinion attached at Annex D.

 

Q: Do I have redemption rights?

 

A: If you are a holder of PHP public shares, you have the right to demand that PHP redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the cash held in PHP’s Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. We sometimes refer to these rights to demand redemption of the public shares as “redemption rights.”

 

11
 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of PHP public shares, together with any affiliate of the holder or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to 15% or more of the public shares. Accordingly, all public shares, in excess of 15% held by a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such holder or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group,” will not be redeemed.

 

The Existing PHP Charter provides that PHP will only redeem public shares so long as, after such redemption, PHP’s net tangible assets, as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act, or of any entity that succeeds PHP as a public company (such as Modulex), will be at least Five Million One Dollar ($5,000,001 or any greater net tangible asset either immediately prior to or upon consummation of the Business Combination after taking into account the redemption for cash of all PHP public shares properly demanded to be redeemed by holders of PHP public shares.

 

Pursuant to a Letter Agreement dated August 16, 2021, by and between PHP, the Sponsor, and PHP’s directors and executive officers, at the closing of the PHP IPO, PHP’s Sponsor, directors and executive officers waived their right to redeem any Founder Shares or Private Placement Shares that they own in connection with PHP stockholder approval of the Business Combination, any proposed amendment to the Existing PHP Charter prior to the consummation of the Business Combination (although they are entitled to redemption and liquidation rights with respect to any PHP public shares that they own or may acquire in PHP fails to consummate a business combination within the time frame required by the Existing PHP Charter). The waiver was a condition to the issuance of the shares, and there was no consideration paid for the waiver. Additionally, on or prior to the Closing of the Business Combination, PHP, the Sponsor and Modulex agreed to enter into the Amended Letter Agreement pursuant to which Modulex will assume certain obligations of PHP thereunder with respect to the Combined Company securities issued in replacement of the Sponsor’s PHP securities in the Business Combination, the provisions of the Letter Agreement applicable to PHP securities would become applicable to the Combined Company securities issued in replacement therefor, and the lock-up provisions applicable to the Founder Shares, Private Placement Units, Private Placement Shares and Private Placement Warrants in the Letter Agreement would be revised to match the lock-up provisions applicable to Modulex securityholders who are parties to the Modulex Lock-Ups.

 

Q: How do I exercise my redemption rights?

 

A: A holder of PHP public shares may exercise redemption rights regardless of whether it votes for or against the Business Combination Proposal or does not vote on such proposal at all, or if it is a holder of public shares on the record date. If you are a holder of PHP public shares and wish to exercise your redemption rights, you must demand that PHP convert your public shares into cash and deliver your public shares to PHP’s transfer agent either by (i) physical delivery of paper stock certificates or (ii) electronically using The Depository Trust Company’s Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) System, in each case no later than two (2) business days prior to the special meeting. Any holder of public shares seeking redemption will be entitled to a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account, less any owed but unpaid taxes on the funds in the Trust Account. Such amount will be paid promptly upon consummation of the Business Combination. There are currently no owed but unpaid income taxes on the funds in the Trust Account.

 

Any request for redemption, once made by a holder of PHP public shares, may be withdrawn at any time prior to the time the vote is taken with respect to the Business Combination Proposal at the special meeting. If you deliver your shares for redemption to PHP’s transfer agent and later decide prior to the special meeting not to elect redemption, you may request that PHP’s transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting PHP’s transfer agent at the address listed at the end of this section.

 

12
 

 

Any written demand of redemption rights must be received by PHP’s transfer agent at least two (2) business days prior to the vote taken on the Business Combination Proposal at the special meeting. No demand for redemption will be honored unless the holder’s stock has been delivered (either physically or electronically) to the transfer agent.

 

If you are a holder of PHP public shares (including through the ownership of PHP units) and you exercise your redemption rights, it will not result in the loss of any PHP warrants that you may hold (including those contained in any units you hold). Each of your whole PHP warrants will become Combined Company warrants that are exercisable to purchase one Combined Company Ordinary Share following consummation of the Business Combination; provided, however, that such warrants are out of the money when the PHP Common Stock trades below $11.50 per share. Your PHP rights will convert at the Effective Time whereby, for each ten rights held, the holder of the PHP rights will receive one Combined Company Ordinary Share (only sets of ten (10) PHP rights are eligible for conversion). Please see “Questions and Answers about the Business Combination and the Special Meeting—Q. What percentage of the Combined Company will be owned by PHP stockholders who elect not to redeem their shares?” below for additional information with respect to the effect of redemptions under the No Redemption, Interim and Maximum Redemption Scenarios as well as the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.” However, if the number of public shares redeemed are at a level which would cause the failure of conditions to close the Business Combination, and subsequently the Business Combination did not occur, your PHP warrants and PHP rights would expire worthless, unless PHP consummated another business combination prior to being required to liquidate its Trust Account. For more information on these conditions, see the prior question “Do I have redemption rights”.

 

Q: Do I have appraisal rights if I object to the proposed Business Combination?

 

A: Under Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the holders of PHP Common Stock, PHP rights, and PHP warrants will not have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination.

 

Q: What happens to the funds deposited in the Trust Account after consummation of the Business Combination?

 

A: The net proceeds of the PHP IPO, together with the full exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriter and a portion of the amount raised from the Private Placement Units for a total of $58,075,000, was placed in the Trust Account immediately following the PHP IPO. On August 15, 2022, and November 7, 2022, respectively, PHP’s Sponsor deposited $575,000 totaling $1,150,000 into the Trust Account in order the extend the time PHP has to complete its initial business combination from August 16, 2022, to November 16, 2022.

 

In February 16, 2023, PHP further extended the time to complete its initial business combination six times beginning August 16, 2023, as PHP’s Sponsor deposited an additional $110,796.88 into the Trust Account for each one-month extension commencing February 16, 2023, as was approved by PHP stockholders on December 30, 2022 in an amendment to the Existing PHP Charter).

 

On August 15, 2023, PHP held a virtual special meeting of its stockholders to vote on three proposals. At the special meeting, holders of PHP Common Stock voted on and approved, two of the three proposals presented, an extension proposal and trust amendment proposal. In connection with the vote at the special meeting, Public Stockholders holding 906,611 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem those shares for cash. After consummation of the Business Combination, the funds in the Trust Account will be used to pay, on a pro rata basis, holders of the public shares who exercise redemption rights, to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination (including aggregate fees of $2,012,500 to the underwriter of the PHP IPO as deferred underwriting commissions) and for working capital (including repayment of $1,371,594 pursuant to a Loan Transfer Agreement and used to pay certain extension fees incurred for more time to consummate the business combination) and general corporate purposes.

 

If PHP does not consummate the Business Combination and fails to complete an initial business combination by August 16, 2024 (subject to an additional twelve (12), one-month extensions upon the Sponsor or its affiliates or permitted designees depositing extension payments in the amount of the lesser of (x) 40,000 or (y) $0.04 per share for each public share outstanding as of each of the twelve (12), one-month extensions, per month into the Trust Account in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Trust Agreement for which the Sponsor receives a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note, payable upon consummation of a Business Combination, in exchange, commencing August 16, 2023, as was approved by PHP Stockholders on August 15, 2023 in an amendment to the Existing PHP Charter or such later date as may be approved by PHP’s stockholders in an amendment to the Existing PHP Charter), PHP will be required to dissolve and liquidate its Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to its stockholders.

 

On September 25, 2023, PHP entered into a Promissory Note with Sponsor for an amount up to $1,500,000 to memorialize the loan Sponsor made to PHP for the six extension payments each month beginning February 16, 2023 in the amount of $110,796.88 each, and the twelve extension payments each month beginning August 16, 2023 in the amount of the lesser of (x) 40,000 or (y) $0.04 per share for each public share outstanding as of each of the twelve (12), one-month extensions per month.

Q: What happens if a substantial number of public stockholders vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and exercise their redemption rights?

 

A: PHP’s public stockholders may vote in favor of the Business Combination and still exercise their redemption rights, although they are not required to vote in any way to exercise such redemption rights. Accordingly, the Business Combination may be consummated even though the funds available from the Trust Account and the number of public stockholders is substantially reduced as a result of redemptions by public stockholders. To the extent that there are fewer PHP public shares and public stockholders, the trading market for Combined Company Ordinary Shares may be less liquid than the market was for PHP prior to the Transactions and the Combined Company may not be able to meet the listing standards of a national securities exchange. In addition, to the extent of any additional redemptions, even fewer funds from the Trust Account would be available to the Combined Company to be used in the business including for working capital available following the consummation of the Business Combination. PHP’s working capital will be reduced in proportion to such redemptions and will also be reduced to the extent of PHP’s and Modulex’s transaction expenses. Reduced working capital may adversely affect the Combined Company’s business and future operations.

 

Q: What happens if the Business Combination is not consummated?

 

A: If PHP does not complete the Business Combination with Modulex for whatever reason, PHP would search for another target business with which to complete a business combination. If PHP does not complete the Business Combination with Modulex or another business combination by August 16, 2024 (if PHP’s Sponsor deposits the amount of the lesser of (x) 40,000 or (y) $0.04 per share for each public share outstanding as of each of the twelve (12), one-month extensions per month into the Trust Account for each one-month extension commencing August 16, 2023, as was approved by PHP Stockholders in an amendment to the Existing PHP Charter, of August 15, 2023, or such later date approved by PHP stockholders in an amendment to the Existing PHP Charter), PHP must redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to an amount then held in the Trust Account (net of interest that may be used by the Company to pay income taxes or other taxes) divided by the number of outstanding PHP public shares. The Sponsor and PHP’s officers and directors have waived their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares in the event a business combination is not affected in the required time period, and, accordingly, their Founder Shares will be worthless. Additionally, in the event of such liquidation, there will be no distribution with respect to PHP’s outstanding warrants. Accordingly, the warrants will expire worthless.

 

Q: How do the Sponsor and the officers and directors of PHP intend to vote on the proposals?

 

A: The Sponsor, as well as PHP’s officers and directors (collectively, the “Initial Stockholders”), beneficially own and are entitled to vote an aggregate of 1,437,500 Founder Shares and 293,400 shares of PHP’s Class A common stock included in the Private Placement Units or approximately 66.6% of the outstanding PHP Common Stock. These holders have also indicated that they intend to vote their shares in favor of all other proposals being presented at the meeting. In addition to the shares of PHP Common Stock held by the Sponsor and PHP’s officers and directors, PHP would need no additional shares of the PHP public shares to be voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and other proposals in order for them to be approved (assuming all outstanding shares are voted on each proposal).

Q: What percentage of the Combined Company will be owned by PHP stockholders who elect not to redeem their shares?

 

A: After the completion of the Business Combination and Transactions, PHP’s stockholders will own a significantly smaller percentage of the Combined Company than they currently own of PHP. Consequently, PHP’s stockholders, as a group, will have reduced ownership and voting power in the Combined Company compared to their ownership and voting power in PHP.

 

Assuming that no additional holders of PHP Common Stock exercises redemption rights as described in this proxy statement/prospectus, at the Closing, existing Modulex shareholders would hold approximately 79.91% assuming no dilution and 68.95% assuming full dilution of the Combined Company Ordinary Shares and current PHP public stockholders would hold approximately 1.13% assuming no dilution and 2.18% assuming full dilution of the Combined Company Ordinary Shares, the Initial Stockholders (including the Sponsor) would hold approximately 2.39% assuming no dilution and 2.11% assuming full dilution of the Combined Company Ordinary Shares), PIPE Investors would hold approximately 14.58% assuming no dilution and 25.05% assuming full dilution of the Combined Company Ordinary Shares, and FA Equity would hold approximately 1.99% assuming no dilution and 1.71% assuming full dilution of the Combined Company Ordinary Shares. This assumes (1) the amount from the various sources of cash may change based on (a) the amount of public stockholder redemptions prior to Closing, (b) investor interest in the acquisition, and (c) the then current markets for equity and debt financing; (2) pre-Transaction funds of $5,250,000; (3) Unit PIPE Investment funds of $50,000,000; (4) convertible note PIPE Investment funds of $50,000,000; (5) pre-Transaction valuation of Combined Company at $600,000,000; (6) includes differed PHP IPO fees and underwriter Business Combination fee, working capital account and does not include additional fees from service providers at closing (such as legal, audit, and financial advisors); (7) there are no new awards under any new Company Equity Plan and no adjustments to the transaction consideration; (8) a redemption price per share of $10.00; (9) public investors redemptions of 70%; (10) PHP IPO of $57,500,000; (11) cashless exercise of warrants at $18 price; and (12) Sponsor shares acquired prior to Business Combination by Red Ribbon.

 

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, assuming the Consolidation has occurred, at the Effective Time, (a) each share of PHP Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be exchanged for on Ordinary Share, (b) each PHP warrant entitling the holder to purchase one share of PHP Common Stock per warrant at a price of $11.50 per whole share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be assumed by Modulex and will become one Modulex warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Ordinary Share per warrant at a price of $11.50 per whole share (the “Modulex warrants”), and (c) each PHP right, entitling the holder thereof to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of PHP Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall automatically convert whereby each holder of ten (10) outstanding PHP rights shall, at the Effective Time, receive one (1) Ordinary Share in exchange therefor, thus holders of PHP rights must hold rights in multiples of 10 in order to receive shares for all of their PHP rights upon closing of the Business Combination. The following table shows the outstanding shares of the Combined Company after giving effect to the Business Combination:

 

   Outstanding Shares of Modulex Holdings Limited

In addition, the following table illustrates varying ownership levels in Modulex Ordinary Shares immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination based on the varying levels of redemptions by the public shareholders, on a fully diluted basis, showing full exercise and conversion of all securities expected to be outstanding as of the Closing of the Business Combination, including public warrants, private placement warrants, warrants issued in a pre-transaction financing, and warrants issued in a PIPE:

 

       % of Total (2) 
Additional Dilution Sources (1)  Total Shares   Assuming No Additional Redemptions (3)   Assuming 25% Additional Redemptions (4)   Assuming 50% Additional Redemptions (5)   Assuming 75% Additional Redemptions (6)   Assuming Maximum Redemptions (7) 
Shares underlying PHP public warrants (8)   1,038,194    1.4%   1.4%   1.4%   1.4%   1.4%

Total additional dilution sources   12,090,088    14.7%   14.7%   14.7%   14.7%   14.8%

 

(1)All share numbers and percentages for the Additional Dilution Sources are presented without the potential reduction of any amounts paid by the holders of the given Additional Dilution Sources and therefore may overstate the presentation of dilution.
  
(2)The Percentage of Total with respect to each Additional Dilution Source set forth above, including the Total Additional Dilution Sources, includes the full amount of shares issued with respect to the applicable Additional Dilution Source in both the numerator and denominator. For example, in the illustrative no redemption scenario, the Percentage of Total with respect to the shares underlying the public warrants would be calculated as follows: (a) 1,038,194 shares issued pursuant to the public warrants; divided by (b) (i) 74,355,700 shares (the number of shares outstanding prior to any issuance pursuant to the shares underlying the public warrants) plus (ii) 1,038,194 shares issued pursuant to the shares underlying the private placement warrants.

(4)Amount shown represents share redemption levels reflecting 25% of the redeemable public shares outstanding (1,123,145 shares).
  
(5)Amount shown represents share redemption levels reflecting 50% of the redeemable public shares outstanding (1,339,680 shares).
  
(6)Amount shown represents share redemption levels reflecting 75% of the redeemable public shares outstanding (1,556,215 shares).

(12)Assumes exercise of all warrants issued in a PIPE financing to purchase 10,000,000 shares of PHP Common Stock.

 

In addition to the changes in percentage ownership depicted above, variation in the levels of redemptions will impact the dilutive effect of certain equity issuances related to the Business Combination, which would not otherwise be present in an underwritten public offering. Increasing levels of redemptions will increase the dilutive effect of these issuances on non-redeeming holders of our public shares. The following table shows the dilutive effect and the effect on the per share value of Modulex Ordinary Shares held by non-redeeming holders of PHP Common Stock under a range of redemption scenarios and PHP Warrant exercise scenarios:

PHP’s public warrants and private placement warrants are only exercisable after the consummation of the Business Combination, and following their conversion into Combined Company Warrants. Assumes no redemption of PHP warrants. See “Description of Securities of the Combined Company —Warrants” for more information, including the terms for redemption of warrants, which, among other things, are only redeemable after the Business Combination and if the price of the Combined Company Common Stock exceeds $11.50 per share for a specified period of time.
  
(14)Does not account for proceeds paid to PHP or the Combined Company, if any, in connection with payment of the exercise prices for warrants, which may be exercisable, in the case of our public warrants, by payment either of an exercise price or on a cashless basis under certain circumstances. See “Description of Securities of The Combined Company —Warrants” for more information.

 

Upon the issuance of Combined Company Ordinary Shares in connection with the Business Combination, the percentage ownership of the Combined Company by Public Stockholders who do not redeem their Public Shares will be diluted. PHP Public Stockholders that do not redeem their Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination will experience further dilution upon the exercise of Public Warrants that are retained after the Closing by redeeming Public Stockholders. The percentage of the total number of outstanding shares of that will be owned by Public Stockholders as a group will vary based on the number of Public Shares for which the holders thereof request redemption in connection with the Business Combination and the number of shares of common stock issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock.

 

Q: What factors did PHP’s board consider in evaluating the Business Combination?

 

A: PHP’s board of directors considered a number of factors in determining whether to approve the Business Combination Agreement and the Transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination as generally supporting its decision to enter into the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including, but not limited to:

 

Market Potential. Size and forecast growth rates of the applicable markets for Modulex’s products in view of recent studies (2019 and 2020 by McKinsey Global Institute) proclaiming that modular construction is a cost-effective solution, which is a significant driver in the successful implementation by Modulex in both developing and developed countries around the world.
   
Product Quality. Technical quality of Modulex’s products and unique characteristics and price points.
   
Customers and Production. The prospects generally for modular construction companies as well as prospective customer responses to Modulex products as indicated by its current letter of intent and progress toward the construction of its first MegaFactoryTM in India, which is due for completion of construction in December 2023 followed by the commencement of steel modular building supplies production in 2024 to be exported to the U.K., U.S. and E.U. and to supply projects within India, followed by the construction of 19 additional MegaFactories to follow over the next 12 years.
   
Forecast Financial Performance. The forecast revenue and projected profit as well as earnings growth potential for Modulex, which is supported by due diligence and the above noted factors. While short-term variances from forecasts may occur with market conditions, PHP felt comfortable with the projected Modulex earnings and profit.

 

18
 

 

Attractive Valuation. PHP’s board of directors believes Modulex’s implied valuation following the Business Combination relative to the current valuations experienced by comparable publicly traded companies in the modular construction sector is favorable for PHP.
   
Experienced Senior Leadership Team. Modulex is led by an experienced management team in the modular construction and technology industry who is passionate about creating a cutting-edge ConstrucTech business by delivering the full potential of “Modular Buildings 2.0” and has worked together for a considerable period.
   
Stockholder Liquidity. The obligation in the Business Combination Agreement to have Modulex Ordinary Shares issued as consideration listed on the Nasdaq Capital Markets, a major U.S. stock exchange, which PHP’s board of directors believes has the potential to offer stockholders greater liquidity.
   
Due Diligence. PHP’s due diligence examinations of Modulex and discussions with Modulex’s management and financial and legal advisors.
   
Other Alternatives. PHP’s board of directors believes, after a thorough review of other business combination opportunities reasonably available to PHP over more than 12 months, that the Business Combination represents the best potential business combination for PHP and the most attractive opportunity for PHP’s management to accelerate its business plan, the process utilized to evaluate and assess other potential combination targets, and PHP’s board of directors’ belief that such process has not presented a better alternative; and
   
Negotiated Transaction. The financial and other terms of the Business Combination Agreement and the fact that such terms and conditions are reasonable and were the product of arm’s-length negotiations between PHP and Modulex.

 

PHP’s board of directors also considered a variety of uncertainties and risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Business Combination, including, but not limited to, the following:

 

Industry Cyclicality. The cyclicality of the construction industry;
   
Unknown Growth of Modular Construction Industry. External market factors, combined with fragmented and complex industry dynamics and an overall aversion to risk, have made change slow in the construction industry, which makes for uncertainty how well the modern trend of modular construction will reshape the industry;
   
Persistent Demand for Construction Labor. The persistent demand for available and qualified workers reported by contractors leading to declining work opportunities as a direct result of the labor shortage.
   
COVID-19. The effects of health epidemics, such as the recent global COVID-19 pandemic, on Modulex’s operations;
   
Competition. Competition in the modular construction industry, and the failure to introduce new technologies and products in a timely manner to compete successfully against competitors;
   
Supply & Demand Issues. If Modulex fails to adjust its supply chain volume due to changing market conditions or fails to estimate its customers’ demand;
   
Customer Relationships. The lack of revenue and existing customer contracts apart from a letter of intent from 2021 and Modulex’s ability to grow its customer base followed by future disruptions in relationships with customers;
   
Lack of Integration Risk. Any difficulty selling Modulex’s products if customers do not design Modulex’s products into their product offerings;

 

19
 

 

Dependence on Design Wins. Modulex’s dependence on winning selection processes;
   
Margin from Design Wins. Even if Modulex succeeds in winning selection processes for its products, Modulex may not generate timely or sufficient net sales or margins from those wins;
   
Manufacturing Delays. Sustained yield problems or other delays in the manufacturing process of products;
   
Systems Update. The need to update Modulex’s financial systems and operations necessary for a public company listed on Nasdaq;
   
Macroeconomic Risks. Macroeconomic uncertainty and the effects it could have on the Combined Company’s future revenues;
   
Benefits Not Achieved. The risk that the potential benefits of the Business Combination may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe;
   
Redemption Risk. The potential that a significant number of PHP stockholders elect to redeem their shares prior to the consummation of the merger and pursuant to PHP’s existing charter, which would potentially make the Transactions more difficult or impossible to complete;
   
Stockholder Vote. The risk that PHP’s stockholders may fail to provide the respective votes necessary to effect the Transactions;
   
Closing Conditions. The fact that the completion of the Transactions is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain closing conditions in the Business Combination Agreement that are not within PHP’s control;
   
Litigation. The possibility of litigation challenging the consummation of the Business Combination or that an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin consummation of the Transactions;
   
Liquidation of PHP. The risks and costs to PHP if the Transactions are not completed, including the risk of diverting management focus and resources from other business combination opportunities, which could result in PHP being unable to effect a business combination by August 16, 2024 (if PHP’s Sponsor deposits the amount of the lesser of (x) 40,000 or (y) $0.04 per share for each public share outstanding as of each of the twelve (12), one-month extensions per month into the Trust Account for each one-month extension for up to twelve (12) times commencing August 16, 2023, as was approved by PHP Stockholders in an amendment to the Existing PHP Charter, on August 15, 2023, or such later date approved by PHP stockholders in an amendment to the Existing PHP Charter);
   
PHP Stockholders Receiving Minority Position. The fact that existing PHP stockholders will hold a minority position in the Combined Company;
   
Fees and Expenses. The fees and expenses associated with completing the merger;
   
Interests of Certain Persons. Some officers and directors of PHP may have interests in the merger. See the section titled “Proposal One — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination” beginning on page 119 of this proxy statement/prospectus; and
   
Other Risks. Various other risks associated with Modulex’s business, as described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Q: What interests do the Sponsor and the current officers and directors of PHP have in the Business Combination?

 

A: In considering the recommendation of PHP’s board of directors to vote in favor of the Business Combination, stockholders should be aware that, aside from their interests as stockholders, the Sponsor and certain of PHP’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of other stockholders generally. PHP’s directors were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating the Business Combination, in recommending to stockholders that they approve the Business Combination and in agreeing to vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination. Stockholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Business Combination. These interests include, among other things, the fact that:

 

  Garry Stein is currently a member of PHP’s Sponsor. By virtue of this relationship, Mr. Stein may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of the securities held of record by our Sponsor. Mr. Stein disclaims any such beneficial ownership except to the extent of his pecuniary interest in the shares of PHP Class B common stock. The consummation of the Business Combination will result in Mr. Stein becoming the legal owner of 60,000 Combined Company Ordinary Shares and an independent director and chair of the Combined Company Board’s Audit Committee.
     
  Suchit Punnose is the Founder and CEO of Modulex. Modulex is one of Red Ribbon Asset Management Plc’s (“Red Ribbon” or “RRAM”) investment ventures. Suchit Punnose is the founder and CEO of Red Ribbon. On August 8, 2022, one week before PHP’s initial 12-month period to complete a business combination would have expired on August 16, 2021, Red Ribbon loaned $1,650,000 to PHP to cover all Extension Fees totaling $1,150,000 with the balance to be used for working capital pursuant to a loan and transfer agreement (the “Loan and Transfer Agreement”). See Exhibit 10.10, the Loan and Transfer Agreement.
     
  If the Business Combination with Modulex or another business combination is not consummated by August 16, 2024 (if PHP’s Sponsor deposits the amount of the lesser of (x) 40,000 or (y) $0.04 per share for each public share outstanding as of each of the twelve (12), one-month extensions per month into the Trust Account for each one-month extension, for up to twelve times commencing August 16, 2023, as was approved by PHP Stockholders on August 15, 2023 in an amendment to the PHP Charter or such later date as may be approved by PHP’s stockholders in an amendment to the Existing PHP Charter), then PHP will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and PHP’s board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the 1,437,500 Founder Shares held by the Sponsor and officers and directors, which were acquired by the Sponsor for $25,000, and the and 293,400 shares of PHP’s Class A common stock included in the Private Placement Units, would be worthless because the holders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares. Such Founder Shares had an aggregate market value of $15,683,125 and the 293,400 shares of PHP’s Class A common stock included in the Private Placement Units had an aggregate market value of $3,200,994 based upon the closing price of $10.91 per share on the Nasdaq on September 8, 2023. On the other hand, if the Business Combination is consummated, each outstanding share of PHP Common Stock will be converted into one Combined Company Ordinary Share. Our sponsor transferred 20,000 shares to Mr. Ngoh, 6,000 shares to Mr. Stein, 2,500 shares to Mr. Phoon, 2,500 shares to Mr. Anih and 3,000 shares to Legacy Royals, LLC an entity controlled by Mr. Gordon. Additionally, pursuant to a Securities Transfer Agreement dated January 23, 2023, Red Ribbon Asset Management PLC transferred 50,000 shares Class B Common Stock to Mr. Stein. Finally, pursuant to a Securities Transfer Agreement dated March 21, 2023, Low Ban Chai transferred 4,000 shares of Class B Common Stock to Mr. Stein.
     
  If PHP is unable to complete a business combination within the required time period, the Sponsor will be liable under certain circumstances described herein to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by PHP for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to PHP. If PHP consummates the Business Combination, on the other hand, Modulex will be liable for all such claims.
     
  The Sponsor and PHP’s officers and directors and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on PHP’s behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. However, if PHP fails to consummate a business combination within the required period, they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. Accordingly, PHP may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the Business Combination or another business combination is not completed by August 16, 2024 (if PHP’s Sponsor deposits the amount of the lesser of (x) 40,000 or (y) $0.04 per share for each public share outstanding as of each of the twelve (12), one-month extensions per month into the Trust Account for each one-month extension for up to twelve times commencing August 16, 2023, as was approved by PHP Stockholders on August 15, 2023. Previously, on December 30, 2022, PHP Stockholders approved an amendment to the Existing PHP Charter to extend the deadline to February 16, 2023 (or later to August 16, 2023, if PHP’s Sponsor deposits an additional $0.0625 per PHP public share per month into the Trust Account for each of the six one-month extensions.

  On February 14, 2023, PHP’s Sponsor deposited $110,796.88 into the Trust account for its public stockholders, representing $0.0625 per public share, allowing PHP to extend the period of time it has to consummate its initial business combination by one month from February 16, 2023 to March 16, 2023.
     
  On March 14, 2023, PHP issued a press release announcing that it caused to be deposited $110,796.88 into the Trust account for its public stockholders, representing $0.0625 per public share, allowing PHP to extend the period of time it has to consummate its initial business combination by one month from March 16, 2023 to April 16, 2023.
     
  On April 26, 2023, PHP issued a press release announcing that it caused to be deposited $110,796.88 into the Trust account for its public stockholders, representing $0.0625 per public share, allowing PHP to extend the period of time it has to consummate its initial business combination by one month from April 16, 2023 to May 16, 2023.
     
  On May 16, 2023, PHP issued a press release announcing that it caused to be deposited $110,796.88 into the Trust account for its public stockholders, representing $0.0625 per public share, allowing PHP to extend the period of time it has to consummate its initial business combination by one month from May 16, 2023 to June 16, 2023.
     
  On June 16, 2023, PHP issued a press release announcing that it caused to be deposited $110,796.88 into the Trust account for its public stockholders, representing $0.0625 per public share, allowing PHP to extend the period of time it has to consummate its initial business combination by one month from June 16, 2023 to July 16, 2023.
     
  On July 13, 2023, PHP deposited $110,796.88 into the Trust account for its public stockholders, representing $0.0625 per public share, allowing PHP to extend the period of time it has to consummate its initial business combination by one month from July 16, 2023 to August 16, 2023.
     
  On August 15, 2023, PHP held a special meeting of its stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) and shareholders approved the proposal (the “Trust Amendment Proposal”) to authorize PHP to enter into Amendment No. 2 to the Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement Amendment”) to amend the Trust Agreement to allow PHP to extend the date to complete an initial business combination or Continental must liquidate the Trust Account established in connection with the PHP IPO, which was approved allowing PHP to extend beyond August 16, 2023 by up to twelve (12), one-month extensions through August 16, 2024 (each of the twelve (12), one-month extensions, an “Extension”, and each such extended date a “Deadline Date”), which is the date by which the Company must have completed its initial business combination or liquidate the Trust Account. In connection with each Extension, the Sponsor (or its affiliates or permitted designees), will deposit into the Trust Account the amount of the lesser of (x) 40,000 or (y) $0.04 per share for each public share outstanding as of each of the twelve (12), one-month extensions per month, as set forth in the Trust Agreement (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”). In connection with the voting on the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal at the Special Meeting, holders of 906,611 shares of Class A common stock exercised the right to redeem such shares for cash.
     
    Following the Special Meeting on August 15, 2023, the Company caused to be deposited the amount of $34,645.56 into the Company’s trust account for its public stockholders on August 16, 2023, allowing the Company to extend the date by which the Company may consummate an initial business combination by one month from August 16, 2023 to September 16, 2023.

 

22
 

 

    The Company caused to be deposited the amount of $34,645.56 into the Company’s trust account for its public stockholders on September 18, 2023, allowing the Company to extend the date by which the Company may consummate an initial business combination by one month from September 16, 2023 to October 16, 2023.
     
    As of June 30, 2023, the Sponsor and PHP’s officers and directors and their affiliates had incurred approximately $0.00 of unpaid reimbursable expenses.
     
  On September 25, 2023, PHP entered into a Promissory Note with Sponsor for an amount up to $1,500,000 to memorialize the loan Sponsor made to PHP for the six extension payments each month beginning February 16, 2023 in the amount of $110,796.88 each, and the twelve extension payments each month beginning August 16, 2023 in the amount of the lesser of (x) 40,000 or (y) $0.04 per share for each public share outstanding as of each of the twelve (12), one-month extensions per month.
     
  The Business Combination Agreement provides for the continued indemnification of PHP’s current directors and officers and the continuation of directors and officers liability insurance covering PHP’s current directors and officers.
     
  PHP’s Sponsor, officers and directors (or their affiliates) may make loans from time to time to PHP to fund certain capital requirements. If the Business Combination is not consummated, any such loans will not be repaid and will be forgiven except to the extent there are funds available to PHP outside of the Trust Account.
     
  The Sponsor will benefit financially from the completion of any business combination even if the Combined Company Ordinary Share price declines after the Business Combination, generating a negative return for other shareholders. The Sponsor will lose substantially all of its investment in PHP and will not be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses if an initial business combination is not completed by August 16, 2024 (if PHP’s Sponsor deposits the amount of the lesser of (x) 40,000 or (y) $0.04 per share for each public share outstanding as of each of the twelve (12), one-month extensions per month into the Trust Account for each one-month extension for up to twelve times commencing August 16, 2023, as was approved by PHP Stockholders on August 15, 2023 in an amendment to the Existing PHP Charter or such later date as may be approved by PHP’s stockholders in an amendment to the Existing PHP Charter). Thus, if the proposed Business Combination with Modulex is not consummated, PHP may seek to complete a business combination with a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to PHP stockholders rather than choose to dissolve and liquidate.
     
  Garry Stein is currently a party to a consulting agreement with Red Ribbon (the sponsor of Modulex), PHP and Sponsor whereby Mr. Stein will be awarded 50,000 shares after consummation of the Business Combination in exchange for consulting services rendered that are related to consummation of the Business Combination agreement. Mr. Stein will also be an independent member of the board of directors and chair of the Combined Company’s Audit Committee following the closing of the Business Combination and, therefore, in the future Mr. Stein will receive any cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the board of directors of the Combined Company determines to pay to its non-executive directors. Mr. Stein disclosed his interest to the PHP Board on March 23, 2023 and the PHP Board approved this arrangement.
     
  If PHP is unable to raise funding for a PIPE and enter into PIPE subscription agreements, Modulex will engage in pre-consummated transaction financing for a minimum of US$30 million but up to US$100 million.
     
  The Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for 1,437,500 Founder Shares, which had an aggregate market value of $15,683,125 and the 293,400 shares of PHP’s Class A common stock included in the Private Placement Units had an aggregate market value of $3,200,994 based upon the closing price of $10.91 per share on the Nasdaq on September 8, 2023. If the proposed Business Combination with Modulex is consummated, the Sponsor may still earn a positive rate of return on its investment, even if other stockholders experience a negative rate of return in post-Business Combination. Our Sponsor transferred 20,000 shares to Mr. Ngoh, 6,000 shares to Mr. Stein, 2,500 shares to Mr. Phoon, 2,500 shares to Mr. Anih and 3,000 shares to Legacy Royals, LLC an entity controlled by Mr. Gordon. Additionally, pursuant to a Securities Transfer Agreement dated January 23, 2023, Red Ribbon Asset Management PLC transferred 50,000 shares Class B Common Stock to Mr. Stein. Finally, pursuant to a Securities Transfer Agreement dated March 21, 2023, Low Ban Chai transferred 4,000 shares of Class B Common Stock to Mr. Stein.

Stockholders may submit questions or comments during the meeting through the special meeting webcast by typing in the “Submit a question” box.

 

Q: How do I attend the Special Meeting?

 

A: Due to health concerns stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic and to support the health and well-being of PHP’s stockholders, the special meeting will be held virtually. To register for and attend the special meeting, please follow these instructions as applicable to the nature of your ownership of PHP Common Stock:

Immediately prior to the start of the special meeting, you will need to log back into the meeting site using your control number.

You may submit your proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage paid envelope. If you hold your shares in “street name,” you should contact your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly voted and counted. In this regard, you must provide the broker, bank or nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the virtual special meeting and vote through the web portal, obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or nominee.

A: Your broker, bank or nominee can vote your shares without receiving your instructions on “routine” proposals only. Your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your shares with respect to “non-routine” proposals unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank or nominee.

A: Yes. Stockholders of record may send a later-dated, signed proxy card to PHP’s transfer agent at the address set forth below so that it is received prior to the vote at the special meeting or virtually attend the special meeting and submit a ballot through the web portal during the special meeting webcast. Stockholders of record also may revoke their proxy by sending a notice of revocation to PHP’s transfer agent, which must be received prior to the vote at the special meeting.

If you hold your shares in “street name” and wish to virtually attend the special meeting and vote through the web portal, you must obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or nominee.

 

25
 

 

Q: What constitutes a quorum for the special meeting?

 

A: A quorum is the minimum number of shares of PHP Common Stock that must be present to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the PHP special meeting if a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of PHP Common Stock entitled to vote at the meeting are represented at the virtual special meeting or by proxy. Abstentions and broker non-votes will count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum.

 

Q: What stockholder vote thresholds are required for the approval of each proposal brought before the Special Meeting?

 

  Proposal One – The Business Combination Proposal — Approval of the Business Combination Proposal will require the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of PHP Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date. Abstentions will have the effect of votes against the Business Combination Proposal. Brokers are not entitled to vote shares on the Business Combination Proposal absent voting instructions from the beneficial owner of those shares and, consequently, broker non-votes will have the effect of votes against the Business Combination Proposal. The Business Combination Proposal is one of the Condition Precedent Proposals and, therefore, adoption of the Business Combination Proposal is conditioned upon the approval and adoption of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals – unless all Condition Precedent Proposals are adopted, none of them will be adopted.
     
  Proposal Two – The Merger Proposal — Like the Business Combination Proposal, approval of the Merger Proposal will require the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of PHP Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date. Abstentions will have the effect of votes against the Merger Proposal. Brokers are not entitled to vote shares on the Merger Proposal absent voting instructions from the beneficial owner of those shares and, consequently, broker non-votes will have the effect of votes against the Merger Proposal. The Merger Proposal is one of the Condition Precedent Proposals and, therefore, adoption of the Merger Proposal is conditioned upon the approval and adoption of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals – unless all Condition Precedent Proposals are adopted, none of them will be adopted.
     
  Proposal Three – The Nasdaq Proposal — Approval of the Nasdaq Proposal will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the special meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on approval of the Nasdaq Proposal. The Nasdaq Proposal is one of the Condition Precedent Proposals and, therefore, adoption of the Nasdaq Proposal is conditioned upon the approval and adoption of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals – unless all of Condition Precedent Proposals are adopted, none of them will be adopted.
     
  Proposal Four – The PHP Charter Proposal — Approval of the PHP Charter Proposal will require the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of PHP Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date. Abstentions will have the effect of votes against the PHP Charter Proposal. Brokers are not entitled to vote shares on the PHP Charter Proposal absent voting instructions from the beneficial owner of those shares and, consequently, broker non-votes will have the effect of votes against the PHP Charter Proposal. The PHP Charter Proposal is one of the Condition Precedent Proposals and, therefore, adoption of the PHP Charter Proposal is conditioned upon the approval and adoption of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals – unless all Condition Precedent Proposals are adopted, none of them will be adopted.
     
  Proposal Five – Adjournment Proposal — Approval of the Adjournment Proposal will require the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast by PHP stockholders by proxy at the special meeting. If a valid quorum is otherwise established, a stockholder’s failure to vote at the special meeting will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on the Adjournment Proposal. Abstentions will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established, however. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon adoption of any of the other proposals.

Q. How would the failure to complete the PIPE Investment affect the Combined Company following the Closing of the Business Combination?

 

A. The amount of working capital available to the Combined Company after the Business Combination will depend in substantial part on the successful completion of the PIPE Investment or the availability of alternative sources of funding. Following the redemption on August 15, 2023 of 866,139 shares of PHP public shares remain outstanding which would be redeemable at an approximate price of $10.87 per share, based on the balance in PHP’s Trust Account as of August 25, 2023, of approximately $9,417,876. In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, the PHP Stockholders may redeem all or a portion of the remaining shares of PHP Class A Common Stock they hold. Accordingly, a failure to successfully complete the PIPE Investment at a sufficient level of net proceeds could leave the Combined Company undercapitalized and with inadequate working capital to fund its operations or unable to grow its operations and revenue sufficiently to achieve positive net cash flow, which could adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations and impair the value of the Combined Company Ordinary Shares.

 

Q: What happens if I fail to take any action with respect to the special meeting?

 

A: If you fail to take any action with respect to the meeting and the Business Combination is approved by the PHP stockholders and consummated, you will become a shareholder and/or warrant holder of the Combined Company.

If you fail to take any action with respect to the special meeting and the Business Combination is not approved, you will continue to be a stockholder and/or warrant holder of PHP, as applicable, and PHP will continue to search for another target business with which to complete an initial business combination. If PHP does not complete the Business Combination with Modulex or another business combination by August 16, 2024 (if PHP’s Sponsor deposits the amount of the lesser of (x) 40,000 or (y) $0.04 per share for each public share outstanding as of each of the twelve (12), one-month extensions per month into the Trust Account for each one-month extension for up to twelve times commencing August 16, 2023, as was approved by PHP Stockholders on August 15, 2023 in an amendment to the Existing PHP Charter or such later date as may be approved by PHP’s stockholders in an amendment to the Existing PHP Charter), PHP must cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to an amount then held in the Trust Account (net of interest that may be used by the Company to pay income taxes or other taxes), and as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of PHP’s remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolve and liquidate.

 

Q: What should I do with my PHP Common Stock, PHP rights and/or PHP warrant certificates?

 

A: Warrant holders and those stockholders who do not elect to have their shares of PHP Common Stock redeemed for a pro rata share of the Trust Account should wait for instructions from PHP’s transfer agent regarding what to do with their certificates. PHP stockholders who exercise their redemption rights must deliver their share certificates to PHP’s transfer agent (either physically or electronically) no later than two (2) business days prior to the special meeting as described above. All public shares of PHP Common Stock not redeemed at the Closing of the Business Combination will be converted automatically to the Combined Company Ordinary Shares. All PHP rights will be automatically converted at the Closing of the Business Combination in sets of ten (10) PHP rights to one Combined Company Ordinary Share (only sets of ten PHP rights will convert).

 

Upon consummation of the Transactions, the PHP warrants will be assumed by the Combined Company and, by their terms, will entitle holders to purchase the Combined Company Ordinary Shares. Therefore, warrant holders need not deliver their warrants to PHP or Modulex at that time.

 

Q: What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

 

A: Stockholders may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement/prospectus and multiple proxy cards, or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast a vote with respect to all of your shares of PHP Common Stock.

The Business Combination Agreement (page 144)

 

The terms and conditions of the merger of PHP with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Modulex are contained in the Business Combination Agreement, which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus. We encourage you to read the Business Combination Agreement carefully, as it is the legal document that governs the Business Combination.

 

Merger Consideration

 

Prior to the Effective Time, Modulex will complete the Recapitalization. The pro forma equity valuation of the Company upon consummation of the Transactions is estimated to be approximately $600 million, assuming no redemptions.

 

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement at the Effective Time (a) the holders of PHP Common Stock shall be entitled to receive an equal number of the Combined Company Ordinary Shares, as each share of PHP Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be exchanged for one Combined Company Ordinary Share; (b) each PHP warrant entitling the holder to purchase one share of PHP Common Stock per warrant at a price of $11.50 per whole share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be assumed by the Combined Company and will become a Combined Company warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Combined Company Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share; and (c) each PHP right shall become the right to receive one-tenth (1/10th) of one (1) Companied Company Ordinary Share, with each PHP right entitling the holder to purchase one (1) share of PHP Common Stock per ten (10) PHP rights will automatically be exchanged at the Effective Time whereby each set of ten PHP rights will be converted to one (1) Combined Company Ordinary Share (and only sets of ten (10) PHP rights will convert so any remaining PHP rights less than ten (10) will expire). In furtherance of the Business Combination, and in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, PHP shall provide an opportunity for PHP stockholders to have their outstanding shares of PHP Common Stock redeemed on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement and the Existing PHP Charter.

 

The Business Combination Agreement provides that if, between the effectiveness of the Recapitalization and the Effective Time, (a) the outstanding Modulex Ordinary Shares shall have been increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different number of shares or different class, in each case, by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including reverse stock split), split-up, combination or exchange or readjustment of shares, (b) a stock dividend or dividend payable in any other securities of the Company shall be declared with a record date within such period, or (c) any similar event shall have occurred, then in each case the Combined Company Ordinary Shares issuable hereunder in exchange for PHP securities shall be appropriately adjusted to provide the holders thereof the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

 

Assuming that no additional holders of PHP Common Stock exercises redemption rights as described in this proxy statement/prospectus, at the Closing, existing Modulex shareholders would hold approximately 79.91% assuming no dilution and 68.95% assuming full dilution of the Combined Company Ordinary Shares and current PHP public stockholders would hold approximately 1.13% assuming no dilution and 2.18% assuming full dilution of the Combined Company Ordinary Shares, the Initial Stockholders (including the Sponsor) would hold approximately 2.39% assuming no dilution and 2.11% assuming full dilution of the Combined Company Ordinary Shares), PIPE Investors would hold approximately 14.58% assuming no dilution and 25.05% assuming full dilution of the Combined Company Ordinary Shares, and FA Equity would hold approximately 1.99% assuming no dilution and 1.71% assuming full dilution of the Combined Company Ordinary Shares. This assumes (1) the amount from the various sources of cash may change based on (a) the amount of public stockholder redemptions prior to Closing, (b) investor interest in the acquisition, and (c) the then current markets for equity and debt financing; (2) pre-Transaction funds of $5,250,000; (3) Unit PIPE Investment funds of $50,000,000; (4) convertible note PIPE Investment funds of $50,000,000; (5) pre-Transaction valuation of Combined Company at $600,000,000; (6) includes differed PHP IPO fees and underwriter Business Combination fee, working capital account and does not include additional fees from service providers at closing (such as legal, audit, and financial advisors); (7) there are no new awards under any new Company Equity Plan and no adjustments to the transaction consideration; (8) a redemption price per share of $10.00; (9) public investors redemptions of 70%; (10) PHP IPO of $57,500,000; (11) cashless exercise of warrants at $18 price; and (12) Sponsor shares acquired prior to Business Combination by Red Ribbon.

Holders of public shares do not need to affirmatively vote on either the Business Combination Proposal or the Merger Proposal, or be a holder of such public shares as of the Record Date to exercise conversion rights. If the Business Combination is not consummated, these shares will not be redeemed. If a holder of public shares properly demands redemption, delivers his, her or its shares to PHP’s transfer agent as described above, and the Business Combination is consummated, PHP will redeem each public share for a full pro rata portion of the Trust Account, calculated as of two (2) business days prior to the date of the special meeting. It is anticipated that this would amount to approximately $[●] per share. If a holder of public shares exercises his, her or its redemption rights, then it will be exchanging its shares of PHP Common Stock for cash and will not become a shareholder of the Combined Company. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Special Meeting of PHP Stockholders — Conversion Rights” for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to convert your shares into cash.

 

Pursuant to the Letter Agreement (to be amended by the Amended Letter Agreement), PHP’s Sponsor, directors and executive officers have waived their right to redeem any shares of PHP Common Stock that they own in connection with PHP stockholder approval of the Business Combination, any proposed amendment to the Existing PHP Charter prior to the consummation of the Business Combination (although they are entitled to redemption and liquidation rights with respect to any PHP public shares that they own or may acquire in PHP fails to consummate a business combination within the time frame required by the Existing PHP Charter).

 

PHP warrant holders do not have redemption rights with respect to such securities.

 

Appraisal Rights (page 258)

 

PHP stockholders and PHP warrant holders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Transactions under the DGCL. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Special Meeting of PHP Stockholders—Appraisal Rights.”

 

PHP’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Business Combination (page 112)

 

PHP’s board of directors, in evaluating the Business Combination, consulted with PHP’s management and financial and legal advisors. In reaching its unanimous resolution (i) that the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are advisable and in the best interests of PHP and its stockholders and (ii) to recommend that the stockholders adopt the Business Combination Agreement and approve the Business Combination and the transactions contemplated thereby, PHP’s board of directors considered a range of factors, including, but not limited to, the factors discussed in the section referenced below. In light of the number and wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination, PHP’s board of directors did not consider it practicable to, and did not attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors that it considered in reaching its determination and supporting its decision. PHP’s board of directors viewed its decision as being based on all of the information available and the factors presented to and considered by it. In addition, individual directors may have given different weight to different factors. This explanation of PHP’s reasons for the Business Combination and all other information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

 

 

38
 

 

 

In approving the Business Combination, PHP’s board of directors relied on a fairness opinion issued by Houlihan Capital, LLC dated November 30, 2022. The officers and directors of PHP also have substantial experience in evaluating the operating and financial merits of companies from a wide range of industries and concluded that their experience and background and sector expertise enabled them to make the necessary analyses and determinations regarding the Business Combination. In addition, PHP’s officers and directors have substantial experience with mergers and acquisitions.

 

PHP’s board of directors considered a number of factors pertaining to the Business Combination as generally supporting its decision to enter into the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. PHP’s board of directors also considered a variety of uncertainties and risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Business Combination.

 

PHP’s board of directors concluded that the potential benefits that it expected PHP and its stockholders to achieve as a result of the Business Combination outweighed the potentially negative factors associated with the Business Combination. Accordingly, PHP’s board of directors unanimously determined that the Business Combination Agreement and the Transactions contemplated therein were advisable, fair to and in the best interests of PHP and its stockholders. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Proposal One—The Business Combination Proposal,” “Proposal Two — The Merger Proposal,” and “PHP’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Business Combination and Recommendation of the Board of Directors.”

 

Interests of PHP’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination (page 102)

 

In considering the recommendation of PHP’s board of directors to vote in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, stockholders should keep in mind that the Sponsor and PHP’s directors and executive officers have interests in such proposals that are different from, or in addition to, those of PHP’s stockholders generally. In particular:

 

  Garry Stein is currently a member of PHP’s Sponsor. By virtue of this relationship, Mr. Stein may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of the securities held of record by our Sponsor. Mr. Stein disclaims any such beneficial ownership except to the extent of his pecuniary interest in the shares of PHP Class B common stock. The consummation of the Business Combination will result in Mr. Stein becoming the legal owner of 60,000 Combined Company Ordinary Shares and an independent director and chair of the Combined Company Board’s Audit Committee. He is currently a party to a consulting agreement with Red Ribbon (the sponsor of Modulex), PHP and Sponsor whereby Mr. Stein will be awarded 50,000 shares after consummation of the Business Combination in exchange for consulting services rendered that are related to consummation of the Business Combination agreement. Mr. Stein will also be an independent member of the board of directors and chair of the Combined Company’s Audit Committee following the closing of the Business Combination and, therefore, in the future Mr. Stein will receive any cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the board of directors of the Combined Company determines to pay to its non-executive directors. Mr. Stein disclosed his interest to the PHP Board on March 23, 2023 and the PHP Board approved this arrangement.
     
  Suchit Punnose is the Founder and CEO of Modulex. Modulex is one of Red Ribbon. Suchit Punnose is the founder and chief executive officer of Red Ribbon. On August 8, 2022, one week before PHP was about to expire because the Company could not consummate a business combination by August 16, 2021, Red Ribbon loaned PHP $1,650,000 to cover all Extension Fees in the amount of $1,150,000 with the balance to be used for working capital. See Exhibit 10.10, the Loan and Transfer Agreement.

 

 

39
 

 

 

  If the Business Combination with Modulex or another business combination is not consummated by August 16, 2024 (if PHP’s Sponsor deposits the amount of the lesser of (x) 40,000 or (y) $0.04 per share for each public share outstanding as of each of the twelve (12), one-month extensions per month into the Trust Account for each one-month extension for up to twelve times commencing August 16, 2023, as was approved by PHP Stockholders on August 15, 2023 in an amendment to the Existing PHP Charter or such later date as may be approved by PHP’s stockholders in an amendment to the Existing PHP Charter), PHP will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and PHP’s board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the 1,437,500 Founder Shares held by the Sponsor, which were acquired by the Sponsor for $25,000, would be worthless because the holders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares. Such Founder Shares had an aggregate market value of $15,683,125 and the 293,400 shares of PHP’s Class A common stock included in the Private Placement Units had an aggregate market value of $3,200,994 based upon the closing price of $10.91 per share on the Nasdaq on September 8, 2023. On the other hand, if the Business Combination is consummated, each outstanding share of PHP Common Stock will be converted into one Combined Company Ordinary Share. Our Sponsor transferred 20,000 shares to Mr. Ngoh, 6,000 shares to Mr. Stein, 2,500 shares to Mr. Phoon, 2,500 shares to Mr. Anih and 3,000 shares to Legacy Royals, LLC an entity controlled by Mr. Gordon. Additionally, pursuant to a Securities Transfer Agreement dated January 23, 2023, Red Ribbon Asset Management PLC transferred 50,000 shares Class B Common Stock to Mr. Stein. Finally, pursuant to a Securities Transfer Agreement dated March 21, 2023, Low Ban Chai transferred 4,000 shares of Class B Common Stock to Mr. Stein.
     
  If PHP is unable to complete a business combination within the required time period, the Sponsor will be liable under certain circumstances described herein to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by PHP for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to PHP. If PHP consummates a business combination, on the other hand, Modulex will be liable for all such claims.
     
  The Sponsor and PHP’s officers and directors and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on PHP’s behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. However, if PHP fails to consummate a business combination within the required period, they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. Accordingly, PHP may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the Business Combination or another business combination is not completed by August 16, 2024 (if PHP’s Sponsor deposits the amount of the lesser of (x) 40,000 or (y) $0.04 per share for each public share outstanding as of each of the twelve (12), one-month extensions per month into the Trust Account for each one-month extension for up to twelve times commencing August 16, 2023, as was approved by PHP Stockholders on August 15, 2023 in an amendment to the Existing PHP Charter or such later date as may be approved by PHP’s stockholders in an amendment to the Existing PHP Charter).
     
  As of June 30, 2023, the Sponsor and PHP’s officers and directors and their affiliates had incurred approximately $0.00 of unpaid reimbursable expenses.
     
  On September 25, 2023, PHP entered into a Promissory Note with Sponsor for an amount up to $1,500,000 to memorialize the loan Sponsor made to PHP for the six extension payments each month beginning February 16, 2023 in the amount of $110,796.88 each, and the twelve extension payments each month beginning August 16, 2023 in the amount of the lesser of (x) 40,000 or (y) $0.04 per share for each public share outstanding as of each of the twelve (12), one-month extensions per month.
     
  The Business Combination Agreement provides for the continued indemnification of PHP’s current directors and officers and the continuation of directors and officers liability insurance covering PHP’s current directors and officers.
     
  PHP’s Sponsor, officers and directors (or their affiliates) may make loans from time to time to PHP to fund certain capital requirements. If the Business Combination is not consummated, any such loans will not be repaid and will be forgiven except to the extent there are funds available to PHP outside of the Trust Account.

 

 

40
 

 

 

  The Sponsor will benefit financially from the completion of any business combination even if the stock price declines after the Business Combination, generating a negative return for other shareholders. The Sponsor will lose substantially all of its investment in PHP and will not be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses if an initial business combination is not completed by August 16, 2024 (if PHP’s Sponsor deposits the amount of the lesser of (x) 40,000 or (y) $0.04 per share for each public share outstanding as of each of the twelve (12), one-month extensions per month into the Trust Account for each one-month extension for up to twelve times commencing August 16, 2023, as was approved by PHP Stockholders on August 15, 2023 in an amendment to the Existing PHP Charter or such later date as may be approved by PHP’s stockholders in an amendment to the Existing PHP Charter). Thus, if the proposed Business Combination with Modulex is not consummated, PHP may seek to complete a business combination with a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to PHP stockholders rather than choose to dissolve and liquidate.
     
  Garry Stein will be a member of the board of directors of the Combined Company following the closing of the Business Combination and, therefore, in the future Mr. Stein will receive any cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the board of directors of the Combined Company determines to pay to its non-executive directors.
     
  PHP’s Sponsor has agreed to facilitate an investment of an aggregate amount of $30,000,000 to purchase 3,000,000 PHP Class A common shares in connection with the PIPE Financing to be completed at the closing of the Business Combination.
     
  The Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for 1,437,500 Founder Shares, which had an aggregate market value of Such Founder Shares had an aggregate market value of $15,683,125 and the 293,400 shares of PHP’s Class A common stock included in the Private Placement Units had an aggregate market value of $3,200,994 based upon the closing price of $10.91 per share on the Nasdaq on September 8, 2023. If the proposed Business Combination with Modulex is consummated, the Sponsor may still earn a positive rate of return on its investment, even if other stockholders experience a negative rate of return in post-Business Combination. Our Sponsor transferred 20,000 shares to Mr. Ngoh, 6,000 shares to Mr. Stein, 2,500 shares to Mr. Phoon, 2,500 shares to Mr. Anih and 3,000 shares to Legacy Royals, LLC an entity controlled by Mr. Gordon. Additionally, pursuant to a Securities Transfer Agreement dated January 23, 2023, Red Ribbon Asset Management PLC transferred 50,000 shares Class B Common Stock to Mr. Stein. Finally, pursuant to a Securities Transfer Agreement dated March 21, 2023, Low Ban Chai transferred 4,000 shares of Class B Common Stock to Mr. Stein.

 

Recommendation to PHP Stockholders

 

PHP’s Board has determined that each of the proposals outlined above is fair to and in the best interests of PHP and its stockholders and recommended that PHP stockholders vote “FOR” the Condition Precedent Proposal and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, if presented.

Anticipated Accounting Treatment (page 121)

 

The Transaction is comprised of a series of transactions pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, as described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. For accounting purposes, the Transaction will be effectuated by three main steps:

 

1.The Recapitalization of Modulex such that each Modulex Ordinary Share has an implied value of $10.00 per share immediately prior to merger (and valuing Modulex equity as of such agreed measurement time at the Total Deal Value).
   
2.The PIPE subscription agreements, which were executed concurrently with the Business Combination Agreement, will result in the issuance of shares of Combined Company Ordinary Shares to the PIPE Investors.
   
3.The merger of PHP with Merger Sub results in the exchange of shares of PHP Common Stock held by PHP stockholders for newly issued Combined Company Ordinary Shares. The merger is not within the scope of ASC 805 because PHP does not meet the definition of a business in accordance with ASC 805. The merger will be accounted for as a recapitalization; as such, any difference between the fair value of the Combined Company Ordinary Shares issued and the fair value of PHP’s identifiable net assets should be recorded as additional paid-in capital. For purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, it is assumed that the fair value of each individual the Combined Company Ordinary Share issued to PHP stockholders is equal to the fair value of each individual the Combined Company Ordinary Share resulting from the Total Deal Value assigned to the Combined Company in the Business Combination Agreement

 

Comparison of Rights of Stockholders of PHP and Shareholders of the Combined Company (page 246)

 

If the Business Combination is successfully completed, holders of PHP Common Stock will become holders of Combined Company Ordinary Shares and their rights as shareholders will be governed by Modulex A&R Articles. There are also differences between the laws governing PHP, a Delaware corporation, and the Combined Company, a company incorporated in England and Wales and governed by the Companies Act. Please see “Comparison of Rights of Combined Company Shareholders and PHP Stockholders” for more information.

 

Emerging Growth Company (page 122)

 

Each of PHP and Modulex is, and consequently, following the Business Combination, the Combined Company will be, an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. As such, the Combined Company will be eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in their periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find the Combined Company’s securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for the Combined Company’s securities and the prices of the Combined Company’s securities may be more volatile.

 

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. Modulex has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Combined Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Combined Company’s financial statements with certain other public companies difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

 

The Combined Company will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the date on which Combined Company Ordinary Shares were offered in exchange for PHP Common Stock in connection with the Transactions, (b) in which the Combined Company has total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, or (c) in which the Combined Company is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of Combined Company Ordinary Shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter; and (ii) the date on which the Combined Company has issued more than $1.00 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. References herein to “emerging growth company” have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.

 

Regulatory Matters (page 121)

 

The Business Combination is not subject to any federal or state regulatory requirement or approval, except for filings with the State of Delaware necessary to effectuate the Business Combination.

The future exercise of registration rights may adversely affect the price of Modulex Ordinary Shares;
   
We rely on intellectual property and proprietary rights and may not be able to adequately enforce or protect them;

SUMMARY UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The following selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been derived from the pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2023, assumes that the Business Combination occurred on March 31, 2023. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 and for the twelve months ended June 30, 2022 assumes that the Business Combination had been completed on July 1, 2022 and July 1, 2021, respectively. Please see the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”

 

The selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations, and the accompanying notes. In addition, the unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information was based on and should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of PHP and Modulex, including the accompanying notes, which are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

 

The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented in five scenarios, assuming different redemption amounts of the PHP Class A Common Stock.

 

The assuming no redemptions scenario assumes that no PHP stockholders elect to redeem the rest of their PHP Class A Common Stock for a pro rata portion of cash in the Trust Account.
The assuming maximum additional redemptions scenario assumes that PHP stockholders redeem the maximum number of their PHP Class A Common Stock for a pro rata portion of cash in the Trust Account.
Scenarios assuming the redemption of 25%, 50%, and 75% of the remaining PHP Class A Common Stock have also been presented.

 

In all scenarios, the amount of cash available is sufficient to (a) pay the net cash consideration to existing Modulex owners and (b) pay transaction expenses.

You should carefully consider the risks described below before voting your shares. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to Modulex and PHP or that they do not currently believe are important to an investor, if they materialize, also may adversely affect the Business Combination. If any of the events, contingencies, circumstances or conditions described in the following risks actually occur, Modulex’s business, financial condition or results of operations could be seriously harmed. If that happens, the trading price of the Combined Company Ordinary Shares or, if the Business Combination is not consummated, PHP Common Stock could decline, and you may lose part or all of the value of any Combined Company Ordinary Shares or, if the Business Combination is not consummated, you may lose part or all of the value of any shares of PHP Common Stock that you hold.

 

Risks Related to Modulex’s Business and Industry

 

We rely on certain vendors to supply us with materials and products that, if we are unable to obtain, could adversely affect our business.

 

We have relationships with vendors for the purchase of a wide range of construction materials and products, such as steel and wood, used in the construction of our modular building projects. Any inability to obtain materials or services in the volumes required and at competitive prices from our major trading partners or the loss of any major trading partner, may seriously harm our business because we may not be able to meet the demands of our customers on a timely basis in sufficient quantities or at all. Other factors, including reduced access to credit by our vendors resulting from economic conditions, may impair our vendors’ ability to provide products in a timely manner or at competitive prices. We also rely on other vendors for critical services such as transportation, supply chain and professional services. Any negative impacts to our business or liquidity could adversely impact our ability to establish or maintain these relationships.

 

We are dependent on the availability and skill of subcontractors, their willingness to work with us, and their selection of, and ability to obtain, suitable and quality building materials.

 

We rely on subcontractors to perform certain portions of the construction of our building projects, particularly onsite and, in some cases, to select and obtain raw materials. Despite detailed specifications and quality control procedures, in some cases, improper construction processes or defective materials may be used to finish construction of our building projects. We may need to spend money to remediate such problems when they are discovered. Defective products can result in the need to perform extensive repairs to large numbers of buildings. Though subcontracts are written to protect from substandard performance or materials, pervasive problems could adversely affect our business. The inability to contract with skilled subcontractors or general contractors at reasonable costs and on a timely basis could limit our ability to construct and deliver buildings and could erode our profit margins and adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows.

 

We depend on third parties for transportation services, and limited availability or increases in costs of transportation could adversely affect our business and operations.

 

Our business depends on the transportation of a large number of products, via shipping, railroad or truck. We rely primarily on third parties for transportation of the products we manufacture or distribute and for the delivery of our raw materials. We are also subject to seasonal capacity constraints and weather-related delays for shipping, rail and truck transportation. If any of our third-party transportation providers were to fail to deliver raw materials to us or our modules to our customers in a timely manner, we may be unable to complete projects in a timely manner and may, among other things, incur penalties for late delivery or be unable to use the modules as intended. In addition, if any of these third parties were to cease operations or cease doing business with us, we may be unable to replace them at reasonable cost. Any failure of a third-party transportation provider to deliver raw materials to us or finished modules to our customers’ construction sites in a timely manner could harm our reputation, negatively affect our customer relationships, and have a material adverse effect on our operating results, cash flows, and financial condition. Additionally, an increase in transportation rates or fuel surcharges could adversely affect our sales, profitability, and cash flows.

 

46
 

 

We may have difficulty protecting our proprietary manufacturing processes, which could adversely affect our ability to compete.

 

We use a proprietary manufacturing process that allows us to be code-compliant in our ConstrucTech” steel modular buildings, delivering “Modular Buildings 2.0” with established and proven British 3D volumetric cold rolled steel modular buildings technology. Such manufacturing process is unique to the construction industry and is important to ensure our continued success, and we cannot assure you that our efforts to protect our proprietary rights will be sufficient or effective. If other companies replicate our methodology, we could lose our competitive advantage. We also have various registered trademarks in India and the UK. See “Modulex’s Business — Intellectual Property.” Any pending or future patent or trademark applications may not lead to issued patents and registered trademarks in all instances. We also cannot be assured that the scope of any patents issued in the future will be sufficiently broad to offer meaningful protection. Others may develop or patent similar or superior technologies, products or services, and our intellectual property rights may be challenged, invalidated, misappropriated or infringed by others. If we are unable to protect and maintain our intellectual property rights, or if there are any successful intellectual property challenges or infringement proceedings against us, our business and revenue could be materially and adversely affected.

 

Expansion of our operations may strain resources, and our failure to manage growth effectively could adversely impact our operating results and harm our ability to attract and retain key personnel.

 

We currently have operations in the United Kingdom, India and Mauritius and are planning a global roll out to BRICs and N11 nations and major markets including the US and the European Union, with the goal of constructing up to 20 “MegaFactories” in 15 countries over the next 12 years. Increased orders for our modules, the current construction of our Mumbai MegaFactory, and our future expansion plans have placed, and may continue to place, a strain on our operational, financial, and managerial resources and personnel. In addition, execution of our growth strategy will require further substantial capital and effective planning. Significant rapid growth on top of our current operations could greatly strain our internal resources, leading to a lower quality of customer service, reporting problems, and delays, resulting in a loss of market share and other problems that could adversely affect our financial performance. Our efforts to grow could place an additional strain on our personnel, management systems, liquidity, and other resources. If we do not manage our growth effectively, our operations could be adversely affected, resulting in slower, no or negative growth, critical shortages of cash and a failure to achieve or sustain profitability.

 

We can be adversely affected by failures of persons who act on our behalf to comply with applicable regulations and guidelines.

 

Although we expect all of our employees, officers and directors to comply at all times with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, there are instances in which subcontractors or others through whom we do business may engage in practices that do not comply with applicable regulations or guidelines. It is possible that our employees may become aware of these practices but do not take steps to prevent them. If we learn of practices relating to buildings constructed on our behalf that do not comply with applicable regulations or guidelines, we will move actively to stop the non-complying practices as soon as possible, and we will take disciplinary action with regard to our employees who were aware of the practices, including in some instances terminating their employment. However, regardless of the steps we take, we may be subject to fines or other governmental penalties, and our reputation may be negatively affected.

 

The cyclical and seasonal nature of the construction industry causes our revenues and operating results to fluctuate, and we expect this cyclicality and seasonality to continue in the future.

 

The construction industry is highly cyclical and seasonal and is influenced by many international, national and regional economic factors, including the availability of consumer and wholesale financing, seasonality of demand, consumer confidence, interest rates, income levels and general economic conditions, including inflation and recessions. As a result of the foregoing factors, the revenues and operating results we derive from customers will fluctuate and we currently expect them to continue to fluctuate in the future, particularly as the construction industry stabilizes following the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, we have experienced, and may continue to experience, operating losses during cyclical downturns in the construction market. These and other economic factors could have a material adverse effect on demand for our products and our financial condition and operating results.

 

47
 

 

Our business depends on the construction industry and general business, financial market and economic conditions.

 

The construction industry is highly cyclical and significantly affected by changes in general and local economic and real estate conditions, such as employment levels, consumer confidence, demographic trends, housing demand, inflation, deflation, interest rates and credit availability. Changes in these general and local economic conditions or deterioration in the broader economy could negatively impact the level of purchases, capital expenditures and creditworthiness of our customers and suppliers, and, therefore, our income and financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Changes in these economic conditions may affect some of our regions or markets more than others and may particularly affect our operations given our global reach. If adverse conditions affect our larger markets, they could have a proportionately greater impact on us than on some other companies. In addition, any uncertainty regarding global economic conditions may have an adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition of us or our customers, distributors and suppliers, such as negative effects of currency exchange fluctuations. A shortage of labor in the construction industry could also have an impact on our financial results.

 

Our business relies on private investment and a slower than expected economy may adversely affect our results.

 

A significant portion of our sales are for projects with non-public owners, such as non-residential builders and home builders who make investments with private funds into their projects. Construction spending is affected by their ability to finance projects. Residential and non-residential construction could decline if companies and consumers are unable to finance construction projects or if the economy slows or is stalled, which could result in delays or cancellations of capital projects. If the economy slows, or if housing starts and non-residential projects do not increase, sales of our products directly by us to consumers and related services may decline, and our financial position, results of operations and liquidity could be materially adversely affected.

 

A material disruption at one of our MegaFactoryTM facilities could prevent us from meeting customer demand, reduce our sales and negatively affect our overall financial results.

 

Any of the following events could cease or limit operations unexpectedly: fires, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, on-site or off-site environmental incidents or other catastrophes; utility and transportation infrastructure disruptions; labor difficulties; other operational problems; or war, acts of terrorism or other unexpected events. We are particularly susceptible to material disruptions as we intend to operate exclusively out of our Mumbai MegaFactoryprior to the construction of additional MegaFactories. While we expect the Mumbai MegaFactoryto be ISO 9000, 14000, 31000 and 26000 certified, fully ESG compliant, capable of harvesting rainwater, and equipped with solar panels and organic farm food for the workers, any downtime or damage at the facility or any of our future facilities could prevent us from meeting customer demand for our products or require us to make more expensive purchases from a competing supplier. This could result in customers seeking products from other distributors, as well as decreased customer satisfaction and lower sales and operating income.

 

Environmental, health and safety laws and regulations and any changes to, or liabilities arising under, such laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

 

We are subject to a variety of regulations relating to, among other things: the release or discharge of materials into the environment; the management, use, generation, treatment, processing, handling, storage, transport or disposal of solid and hazardous wastes and materials; and the protection of public and employee health and safety and the environment. These laws and regulations may expose us to liability for the conduct of others or for our actions, even if such actions complied with all applicable laws at the time these actions were taken. These laws and regulations may also expose us to liability for claims of personal injury or property or natural resource damage related to alleged exposure to, or releases of, regulated or hazardous materials. The existence of contamination at properties we own, lease or operate could also result in increased operational costs or restrictions on our ability to use those properties as intended, including for purposes of construction materials distribution.

 

48
 

 

Despite our compliance efforts, there is an inherent risk of liability in the operation of our business, especially from an environmental standpoint, and, from time to time, we may be in noncompliance with environmental, health and safety laws and regulations. These potential liabilities or non-compliances could have an adverse effect on our operations and profitability. In some instances, we must have government approvals, certificates, permits or licenses in order to conduct our business, which may require us to make significant capital, operating and maintenance expenditures to comply with environmental, health and safety laws and regulations. Our failure to obtain and maintain required approvals, certificates, permits or licenses or to comply with applicable governmental requirements could result in sanctions, including substantial fines or possible revocation of our authority to conduct some or all of our operations. The cost of complying with such laws could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

 

Our business may be subject to economic and political risks of operating and obtaining supplies outside of the United States, including adverse impact of changes in international trade and tariff policies.

 

We operate and source a majority of our products from outside of the United States, and our suppliers also rely upon products from outside the United States. As such, any significant changes to, among other things, the general political and social conditions in countries in which we maintain operations or sourcing relationships, such as the UK, India and Mauritius currently, unfavorable changes in U.S. trade legislation and regulation, the imposition of U.S. governmental economic sanctions on countries in which we do business or other trade barriers, threats of war, terrorism or governmental instability, labor disruptions, currency controls and any other unanticipated or unfavorable changes could significantly impact our operations and plans for further expansion into the United States. If we are unable to navigate these regulatory environments, or if we are unable to enforce our contract rights in these countries, our business could be adversely impacted. Any of these events could interrupt our business and cause operational disruptions, increase our costs of operations, reduce our sales or otherwise have an adverse effect on our operating performance.

 

The U.S. government has indicated its intent to alter its approach to trade policy, including, in some instances, to revise, renegotiate or terminate certain multilateral trade agreements. It has also imposed new tariffs on certain foreign goods and raised the possibility of imposing additional increases or new tariffs on other goods. Such actions have, in some cases, led to retaliatory trade measures by certain foreign governments. Such policies could make it more difficult or costly for us to do business in or procure products from the countries we currently operate or seek to operate in, particularly the United States, which could negatively impact our revenue or operating results. At this time, it remains unclear what additional actions, if any, will be taken by the U.S. government with respect to tariff and international trade agreements and policies, and we cannot predict future trade policy or the terms of any revised trade agreements or any impact on our business.

 

Cybersecurity risks related to the technology used in our operations and other business processes, as well as security breaches of company, customer, employee and vendor information, could adversely affect our business.

 

We rely on various information technology systems to capture, process, store and report data and interact with customers and employees. Despite careful security and controls design, as the prevalence of cyber-attacks continues to increase, our information technology systems, and those of our third-party providers, could become subject to increased security threats, such as phishing and malware incidents. Our security measures may be unable to prevent certain security breaches, and any such network, system, data or other breaches could result in misappropriation of sensitive data, transactional errors, theft of funds, business disruptions, loss of or damage to intellectual property, loss of customers and business opportunities, unauthorized access to or disclosure of confidential or personal information (which could cause a breach of applicable data protection legislation), regulatory fines, penalties or intervention, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensatory costs and additional compliance costs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

49
 

 

Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to, or disable, degrade or sabotage, information technologies systems change frequently, and may not be recognized until after they have been launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques, implement adequate preventative measures or remediate any breach in a timely or effective manner. In addition, the development and maintenance of preventative or detective measures is costly, and requires ongoing monitoring and updating as technologies change and efforts to circumvent security measures become more sophisticated. As well as incurring additional costs, sophisticated hardware and operating system software and applications that we procure from third parties may contain defects in design or manufacture, including “bugs” and other problems that could unexpectedly interfere with the operation of the systems, or we may be unable to successfully integrate and launch new systems as planned without disruptions to our operations. Misuse of internal applications, theft of intellectual property, trade secrets, funds or other corporate assets and inappropriate disclosure of confidential information could stem from such incidents.

 

Despite our efforts, we remain potentially vulnerable to cyber-attacks and security breaches, and any such attack or breach could adversely affect our reputation, business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

We may be dependent upon third-party financing, and our financial condition and results of operations could be negatively affected if additional third-party financing for our customers does not become available.

 

Our business and earnings depend substantially on our ability to obtain financing for the development of our construction projects. The availability and cost of such financing is further dependent on the number of financial institutions participating in the industry, the departure of financial institutions from the industry, the financial institutions’ lending practices, the strength of credit markets generally, governmental policies and other conditions, all of which are beyond our control. In light of the current economic climate, some of our projects may not be successful in obtaining additional funds in a timely manner, on favorable terms or at all. The availability of borrowed funds, especially for construction financing, has been greatly reduced, and lenders may require project developers to invest increased amounts of equity in a project in connection with both new loans and the extension of existing loans. Unfavorable changes in the availability and terms of financing in the industry will have a material adverse effect on certain privately financed projects. Over the past few years, lenders have tightened credit underwriting standards, which have reduced lending volumes.

 

In addition, where our potential customers must sell their existing buildings or real estate in order to develop new buildings, increases in mortgage costs and/or lack of availability of mortgages could prevent buyers of potential customers’ existing buildings from obtaining the mortgages they need to complete their purchases, which would result in our potential customers’ inability to make purchases from us. If our potential customers cannot obtain suitable financing, our sales and results of operations would be adversely affected.

 

The construction industry is highly competitive, and such competition may increase the adverse effects of industry conditions, including the consolidation of the industry.

 

We operate in a very competitive environment. We compete for financing, raw materials and skilled management and labor resources as well as for customers. A decline in construction starts could adversely affect demand for products that utilize our technology and expertise and impact our results of operations. Increased competition could require us to further increase selling incentives and/or reduce our prices, which could negatively affect our revenue. We may be unable to successfully expand into or compete in the markets in new geographic areas. In addition, while we believe our modular process and technology may improve our competitive position by potentially expediting construction, there is no assurance that it will have the desired competitive impact.

 

There can be no assurance that modular construction techniques that utilize our technology and expertise will achieve market acceptance and grow; thus, the future of our business and the modular construction industry as a whole is uncertain.

 

While modular construction projects have been undertaken across the world, and in the markets where we operate, there can be no assurance that we will achieve market acceptance for our technology and expertise or that the modular construction market will grow as expected. Our business may be disrupted by the introduction of new products and services and is subject to changing consumer preferences and industry trends, which may adversely affect our ability to plan for the future development and marketing of our products. Although modules have particular applications in a wide variety of market segments, there is no assurance that we will be able to expand our relationship within such market segments or, even if we do, that general market acceptance for our technology and expertise or modules will continue to increase.

 

50
 

 

Government regulations and legal challenges may delay the start or completion of our projects, increase our expenses or limit our building activities, which could have a negative impact on our operations.

 

Various rules and regulations concerning building, zoning, sales and similar matters apply to and/or affect the construction industry. Governmental regulation affects construction activities, as well as sales activities, mortgage lending activities and other dealings with consumers. These industries also have experienced an increase in legislation and regulations that limit the availability or use of land. In the United States, for example, municipalities may restrict or place moratoriums on the availability of utilities, such as water and sewer taps. In some areas, municipalities may enact growth control initiatives, which restrict the number of building permits available in a given year. In addition, we may be required to apply for additional approvals or modify our existing approvals because of changes in local circumstances or applicable law. If governments in locations in which we operate take actions like the ones described, they could adversely affect our business by causing delays, increasing costs or limiting our ability to operate in those areas. Further, we may experience delays and increased expenses as a result of legal challenges to our proposed projects, whether brought by governmental authorities or private parties. Failure to comply with laws or regulations applicable to or affecting us, or the passage in the future of new and more stringent laws affecting us, may adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.

 

The dangers inherent in our operations, such as disruptions to our facilities and project sites, and the limits on insurance coverage could expose us to potentially significant liability costs and materially interfere with the performance of our operations.

 

While we believe our insurance coverage is adequate and in line with our industry’s standards, all construction, including modular construction, involves operating hazards that can cause personal injury or loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment and suspension of operations, including, but not limited to, natural or man-made disruptions to our facilities and project sites. We may be sued for such injuries based on the use of our technology. The failure of such structures during and after installation can result in similar injuries and damages. Although we believe that our insurance coverage is adequate, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain adequate insurance in the future at rates we consider reasonable, or that our insurance coverage will be adequate to cover future claims that may arise. Claims for which we are not fully insured may adversely affect our working capital and profitability. In addition, changes in the insurance industry have generally led to higher insurance costs and decreased availability of coverage. The availability of insurance that covers risks we and our competitors typically insure against may decrease, and the insurance that we are able to obtain may have higher deductibles, higher premiums and more restrictive policy terms.

 

We are dependent on the services of key personnel, and the unexpected loss of their services may adversely affect our operations.

 

Our success depends highly upon the personal efforts and abilities of our senior management team, specifically the efforts of Suchit Punnose, our founder and Chief Executive Officer, Ajay Palekar, our Managing Director (for India), and Taariq Mauthoor, our Chief Technology Officer. Suchit has more than 22 years of experience in investments, real estate, and ventures across India and the UK. Ajay has more than 38 years of working experience in manufacturing, logistics and supply chain management. Taariq has more than 20 years of experience in the built environment sector as a Chartered Engineer in Sustainable Design & Engineering. The loss of the services of one or more of these individuals could have a material adverse effect on our business. Our ability to achieve profitability and generate increased revenue will depend upon our ability to retain, and, if necessary, attract experienced management personnel.

 

51
 

 

We may be subject to legal proceedings or investigations, the resolution of which could negatively affect our profitability and cash flows in a particular period.

 

The nature of our operations exposes us to possible litigation claims, including disputes relating to our operations and commercial and contractual arrangements. Although we make every effort to avoid litigation, these matters are not totally within our control. We will contest these matters vigorously and will make insurance claims where appropriate, but because of the uncertain nature of litigation and coverage decisions, we cannot predict the outcome of these matters. The costs associated with litigation matters could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and profitability. In addition, our profitability or cash flow in a particular period could be affected by an adverse ruling in any litigation currently pending in the courts or by litigation that may be filed against us in the future. We are also subject to environmental and other government regulation, which could result in administrative proceedings in the future.

 

A portion of our business and operations are located in India and we are subject to regulatory, economic, social and political uncertainties in India.

 

We are currently building the world’s largest steel modular buildings factory in India, the Mumbai MegaFactory™ to supply the United Kingdom, European Union, United States, and Indian markets. The MegaFactory™ will feature a 40-acre manufacturing facility located 280 kilometers from Mumbai, functioning as a manufacturing cluster producing fully fitted steel modular buildings, bathroom pods, doors, and windows. Consequently, our financial performance will be affected by changes in exchange rates and controls, interest rates, changes in government policies, including taxation policies, social and civil unrest and other political, social and economic developments in or affecting India.

 

The Government of India has exercised and continues to exercise significant influence over many aspects of the Indian economy. Since 1991, successive Indian governments have generally pursued policies of economic liberalization and financial sector reforms, including by significantly relaxing restrictions on the private sector. Nevertheless, the role of the Indian central and state governments in the Indian economy as producers, consumers and regulators has remained significant and we cannot assure you that such liberalization policies will continue. The rate of economic liberalization could change, and specific laws and policies affecting travel service companies, foreign investments, currency exchange rates and other matters affecting investments in India could change as well. A significant change in India’s policy of economic liberalization and deregulation or any social or political uncertainties could adversely affect business and economic conditions in India generally and our business and prospects.

 

As the domestic Indian market is anticipated to constitute a source of our revenue, a slowdown in economic growth in India could cause our business to suffer.

 

The performance and growth of our business are necessarily dependent in part on economic conditions prevalent in India, which may be materially and adversely affected by political instability or regional conflicts, economic slowdown elsewhere in the world or otherwise. The Indian economy also remains largely driven by the performance of the agriculture sector, which depends on the quality of the monsoon and is difficult to predict. The Indian economy has grown significantly over the past few years. Any future slowdown in the Indian economy could have a material adverse effect on the demand for the construction projects and, as a result, on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Trade deficits could also adversely affect our business. India’s trade relationships with other countries and its trade deficit, driven to a major extent by global crude oil prices, may adversely affect Indian economic conditions. If trade deficits increase or are no longer manageable because of the rise in global crude oil prices or otherwise, the Indian economy, and therefore our business and our financial performance could be adversely affected.

 

India also faces major challenges in sustaining its growth, which include the need for substantial infrastructure development and improving access to healthcare and education. If India’s economic growth cannot be sustained or otherwise slows down significantly our business and prospects could be adversely affected.

 

52
 

 

We have business and operations in Mauritius and are subject to regulatory, economic, social and political uncertainties in Mauritius.

 

Since gaining independence from the United Kingdom in 1968, Mauritius has transitioned from a low-income agriculture-based economy to a diversified one. Mauritius is also one of Africa’s most stable democracies, with high levels of respect for political institutions. Nonetheless, Mauritius suffers from a shortage of skilled labor and its economy is highly dependent on external trade. As such, we may find it difficult to obtain employees or replace existing employees and may be impacted by volatility in the Mauritian economy due to external financial shocks. Volatility in the Mauritian economy may result in higher costs for raw materials and our operations generally. The occurrence of any of these uncertainties may have an adverse effect on our business and financial performance.

 

Natural calamities could have a negative impact on the Indian and/or Mauritian economy or in other geographies areas in which we intend to expand that could cause our business to suffer.

 

India has experienced natural calamities such as earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, and drought in the past few years. Likewise, Mauritius, where we also operate, is susceptible to natural disasters such as tropical cyclones and floods, which have amplified over the past decades amid climate change. The extent and severity of these natural disasters determines their impact on the Indian and Mauritian economies. A majority of our operations and employees are located in India and Mauritius and there can be no assurance that we will not be affected by natural disasters in the future. The occurrence of any of these disasters or in other geographic area in we operate may result in operational losses and a loss of business confidence, should we be unable to properly recover from these natural calamities, which would have an adverse effect on our business and financial performance.

Any of the following risk factors could cause Modulex’s actual results to differ materially from anticipated results. These risks and uncertainties are not the only ones that Modulex faces.

 

The completion of the Business Combination is subject to a number of important conditions, and the Business Combination Agreement may be terminated before the completion of the Business Combination in accordance with its terms. As a result, there is no assurance that the Business Combination will be completed.

 

The completion of the Business Combination is subject to the satisfaction or waiver, as applicable, of a number of important conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, including the approval of the Business Combination by the PHP Stockholders, the approval of the listing of the Combined Company Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq, and several other customary closing conditions. If these conditions are not satisfied or, if the Business Combination Agreement is otherwise terminated by either party, you will not receive the Transaction Consideration. For more information, see “The Business Combination Agreement.”

 

The unaudited pro forma financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus may not be representative of Modulex’s results after the Business Combination.

 

PHP and Modulex currently operate as separate companies. PHP and Modulex have had no prior history as a combined entity and their respective operations have not previously been managed on a combined basis. The unaudited pro forma financial information of Modulex included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus has been presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that actually would have occurred had the transactions been consummated as of the dates indicated, nor is it indicative of the Combined Company’s future operating results or financial position after the assumed consummation of the Transactions or other individually insignificant acquisitions. The unaudited pro forma financial information does not reflect future events that may occur after the Business Combination and does not consider potential impacts of current market conditions on revenues or expense. The unaudited prospective financial information of Modulex is based in part on certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Our assumptions may not prove to be accurate over time. The pro forma financial information included in the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements” has been derived from PHP’s and Modulex’s historical financial statements and certain adjustments and assumptions including revenue projections have been made regarding the Combined Company after giving effect to the Business Combination. Differences between preliminary estimates in the pro forma financial information and the final acquisition accounting will occur and could have an adverse effect on the pro forma financial information and the Combined Company’s financial position and future results of operations.

 

53
 

 

In addition, the assumptions used in preparing the pro forma financial information may not prove to be accurate and other factors may affect the Combined Company’s financial condition or results of operations following the Closing. Any potential decline in the Combined Company’s financial condition or results of operations may cause significant variations in the Combined Company Ordinary Share price.

 

Modulex’s revenue projections are subject to significant risks, assumptions, estimates and uncertainties. As a result, Modulex’s projected revenue, gross profit, EBITDA and net profit may differ materially from expectations.

 

Modulex’s operates in a competitive industry and its revenue projections will be subject to the risks and assumptions made by management, set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus, in the fairness opinion with respect to its industry and its ability to produce sufficient product to meet customer demands, if any, and other unforeseen risks. Operating results are difficult to forecast because they generally depend on a number of factors, including the competition the Combined Company would face, and its ability to enter into contracts with existing potential customers and to attract and retain new customers while generating sustained revenues. This may result in less revenue than projected and the Combined Company may be unable to adopt measures in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected shortfall in income. This inability could cause the Combined Company’s operating results in a given quarter to be higher or lower than expected. These factors make creating accurate forecasts and budgets challenging and, as a result, the Combined Company may fall materially short of its forecasts and expectations, which could cause its share price to decline and investors to lose confidence in it.

 

The Business Combination may not result in increased share liquidity for PHP Stockholders following the Business Combination.

 

We are undertaking the Business Combination because we believe that the Transactions will provide PHP Stockholders with a number of advantages, including providing PHP Stockholders with securities that we expect will enjoy greater market liquidity than the securities these holders currently hold. However, the Business Combination may not accomplish these objectives particularly given the number of shares to be held by PHP Stockholders coupled with your right to redeem your PHP Common Stock in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. Accordingly, we cannot predict whether a liquid market for the newly issued the Combined Company Ordinary Shares will be maintained.

 

Your ownership percentage in the Combined Company at Closing will be less than the ownership percentage you currently hold in PHP.

 

Your ownership percentage in the Combined Company Ordinary Shares following the Business Combination will be less than your existing ownership percentage in PHP as a result of dilution attributable to the relative equity values of the companies involved in the Business Combination. Immediately after the Business Combination, assuming no redemptions by PHP Stockholders, it is anticipated that (i) the existing shareholders of Modulex will hold as a group approximately [____]% of the issued and outstanding Combined Company Ordinary Shares, assuming no further redemptions by the PHP Stockholders, and (ii) the current PHP Stockholders including the Sponsor will hold as a group approximately [___]% of the issued and outstanding Combined Company Ordinary Shares, which includes the shares underlying Placement Units and Placement Warrants (assuming a PIPE Investment), as shown in the following table (there is no anti-dilution adjustment).

The following table shows the ownership of PHP immediately following the Business Combination giving effect to the warrants and options, including pre-listing financing shares, potential PIPE shares, maximum issuances pursuant to the Company Equity Plan and a potential issuance of $1,500,000 convertible notes:

The underwriting fee of 5.5% representing $3,162,500 of the initial public offering proceeds of $57,500,000, including deferred fees of $2,012,500, from PHP IPO would represent [33.57]% and [67.2]% of the per PHP public share offering price of the unredeemed shares in the no further redemptions and 50% redemptions scenarios, respectively.

 

As a result, PHP Stockholders will have less influence over matters submitted to a vote of the Combined Company shareholders than they currently hold in PHP. Nevertheless, the Sponsor, directors and officers of PHP Corp will benefit from the completion of the Business Combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to public stockholders rather than liquidate.

 

Directors of PHP have potential conflicts of interest in recommending that shareholders vote in favor of approval of the Business Combination and approval of the other proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

 

When considering the PHP Board’s recommendation that PHP Stockholders vote in favor of the approval of the Business Combination, PHP Stockholders should be aware that PHP’s directors and executive officers, advisors and entities affiliated with them, have interests in the Business Combination that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of PHP Stockholders. These interests include:

 

  If the Business Combination with Modulex or another business combination is not consummated by August 16, 2024 (if PHP’s Sponsor deposits the amount of the lesser of (x) 40,000 or (y) $0.04 per share for each public share outstanding as of each of the twelve (12), one-month extensions per month into the Trust Account for each one-month extension for up to twelve times commencing August 16, 2023, as was approved by PHP Stockholders on August 15, 2023, in an amendment to the Existing PHP Charter or such later date as may be approved by PHP’s stockholders in an amendment to the Existing PHP Charter), as described in more detail in this proxy statement/prospectus), PHP will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the issued and outstanding PHP public shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the Founder Shares held by the Sponsor and PHP’s directors and officers, which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to the PHP IPO, would be worthless because the holders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares. Such Founder Shares had an aggregate market value of $15,683,125 and the 293,400 shares of PHP’s Class A common stock included in the Private Placement Units had an aggregate market value of $3,200,994 based upon the closing price of $10.91 per share on the Nasdaq on September 8, 2023. On the other hand, if the Business Combination is consummated, each outstanding PHP Common Stock will remain a Combined Company Ordinary Share pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. Our Sponsor transferred 20,000 shares to Mr. Ngoh, 6,000 shares to Mr. Stein, 2,500 shares to Mr. Phoon, 2,500 shares to Mr. Anih and 3,000 shares to Legacy Royals, LLC an entity controlled by Mr. Gordon. Additionally, pursuant to a Securities Transfer Agreement dated January 23, 2023, Red Ribbon Asset Management PLC transferred 50,000 shares Class B Common Stock to Mr. Stein. Finally, pursuant to a Securities Transfer Agreement dated March 21, 2023, Low Ban Chai transferred 4,000 shares of Class B Common Stock to Mr. Stein.

 

55
 

 

  The Sponsor purchased 293,400 Private Placement Units from PHP for $10.00 per unit raising $2,934,000. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one Class A Ordinary Share and one warrant. Each PHP Warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at $11.50 per share. This purchase took place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of the PHP IPO. All of the proceeds PHP received from the PHP IPO and substantially all of the proceeds from the sale of the placement units were placed in the Trust Account. The private placement units and the PHP Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the private placement units and warrants will become worthless if PHP does not consummate a business combination by August 16, 2024 (if PHP’s Sponsor deposits the amount of the lesser of (x) 40,000 or (y) $0.04 per share for each public share outstanding as of each of the twelve (12), one-month extensions per month into the Trust Account for each one-month extension for up to twelve times commencing August 16, 2023, as was approved by PHP Stockholders on August 15, 2023, in an amendment to the Existing PHP Charter or such later date as may be approved by PHP’s stockholders in an amendment to the Existing PHP Charter, as described in more detail in this proxy statement/prospectus). On the other hand, if the Business Combination is consummated, each outstanding PHP Warrant will become a Combined Company warrant exercisable to purchase one Combined Company Ordinary Share following consummation of the Business Combination and each outstanding PHP Common Stock will become a Combined Company Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement.
     
  If PHP is unable to complete a business combination within the required time period, the Sponsor will be personally liable under certain circumstances described herein to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by PHP for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to PHP. If PHP consummates a business combination, on the other hand, PHP will be liable for all such claims.
     
  The Sponsor and PHP’s officers and directors and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on PHP’s behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. However, if PHP fails to consummate a business combination within the required period, they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. Accordingly, PHP may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the Business Combination or another business combination is not completed by August 16, 2024 (if PHP’s Sponsor deposits the amount of the lesser of (x) 40,000 or (y) $0.04 per share for each public share outstanding as of each of the twelve (12), one-month extensions per month into the Trust Account for each one-month extension for up to twelve times commencing August 16, 2023, as was approved by PHP Stockholders on August 15, 2023, in an amendment to the Existing PHP Charter or such later date as may be approved by PHP’s stockholders in an amendment to the Existing PHP Charter. As of June 30, 2023, the Sponsor and PHP’s officers and directors and their affiliates had incurred approximately $0.00 of unpaid reimbursable expenses.
     
  The Business Combination Agreement provides for the continued indemnification of PHP’s current directors and officers and the continuation of directors and officers liability insurance covering PHP’s current directors and officers.
     
  The Sponsor may loan to PHP additional funds for working capital purposes prior to the Business Combination. An amount of $751,929 is currently outstanding for working capital loans from the Sponsor as of June 30, 2023. PHP’s officers and directors (or their affiliates) may also make loans from time to time to PHP to fund certain capital requirements. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, no such loans remain outstanding, but loans may be made after the date of this proxy statement/prospectus.
     
  Pursuant to the Administrative Support Agreement entered into between PHP and Arc Group Limited, contemporaneous to the PHP IPO, PHP agreed to reimburse Arc Group Limited $10,000 per month commencing after the IPO through the Business Combination. These amounts are accruing and remain unpaid and payable at the time of the Closing of the Business Combination. As of September 27, 2023, approximately $20,000 is due to ARC Group Limited under the Administrative Support Agreement.

 

56
 

 

These financial interests of the officers and directors, and entities affiliated with them, may have influenced their decision to approve the Business Combination and may incentivize these individuals and entities, including our Sponsor, to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to shareholders in order to avoid liquidation. You should consider these interests when evaluating the Business Combination and the recommendation to vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and other proposals to be presented to PHP Stockholders.

 

Following the completion of the Business Combination, the Sponsor will have the ability to influence the Combined Company’s business and management.

 

It is anticipated that, upon completion of the Business Combination: existing shareholders of Modulex will hold as a group approximately [89.0]% of the issued and outstanding Combined Company Ordinary Shares, assuming no further redemptions by the PHP Stockholders, and (ii) the current PHP Stockholders including the Sponsor will hold as a group approximately [7.3]% of the issued and outstanding Combined Company Ordinary Shares, which does not include the Private Placement Warrants or the PIPE investment. As a result, PHP Stockholders will have less influence over matters submitted to a vote of the Combined Company shareholders than they currently hold in PHP. These levels of ownership interest: (a) exclude the impact of the PHP Warrants to purchase Combined Company Ordinary Shares that will remain outstanding immediately following the Business Combination and (b) assume that no PHP Public Shareholder exercises redemption rights with respect to its shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in PHP’s Trust Account. Accordingly, the Sponsor will be able to influence the approval of actions requiring approval of the board of directors of the Combined Company through their voting power and will retain influence with respect to the Combined Company’s management, business plans and policies, including the appointment and removal of its officers. In addition, the Sponsor, directors and officers of PHP will benefit from the completion of the Business Combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to public stockholders rather than liquidate.

 

Subsequent to the consummation of the Business Combination, the Combined Company may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on its financial condition, results of operations and share price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

 

Although PHP has conducted due diligence on Modulex, PHP cannot assure you that this diligence revealed all material issues that may be present in its businesses, that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence or that factors outside of PHP’s or Modulex’s control will not later arise. Modulex is aware that PHP must complete an initial business combination by August 16, 2024 (if PHP’s Sponsor deposits the amount of the lesser of (x) 40,000 or (y) $0.04 per share for each public share outstanding as of each of the twelve (12), one-month extensions per month into the Trust Account for each one-month extension for up to twelve times commencing August 16, 2023, as was approved by PHP Stockholders on August 15, 2023, in an amendment to the Existing PHP Charter or such later date as may be approved by PHP’s stockholders in an amendment to the Existing PHP Charter. Consequently, Modulex may have obtained leverage over PHP in negotiating the Business Combination Agreement, knowing that if PHP does not complete the Business Combination, PHP may be unlikely to be able to complete an initial business combination with any other target business prior to such deadline. In addition, PHP has had limited time to conduct due diligence. Modulex is a privately held company and PHP therefore has made its decision to pursue a business combination with Modulex on the basis of limited information, which may result in a business combination that is not as profitable as expected, if at all.

 

As a result of these factors, the Combined Company may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in reporting losses. Even if PHP’s due diligence successfully identified certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with PHP’s preliminary risk analysis. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and would not have an immediate impact on the Combined Company’s liquidity, the fact that the Combined Company is required to report charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about the Combined Company or the Combined Company Ordinary Shares. Accordingly, any PHP Stockholders who choose to remain shareholders of the Combined Company following the Business Combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares. Such shareholders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value unless they are able to successfully claim that the reduction was due to the breach by PHP’s officers or directors of a duty of care or other fiduciary duty owed by them to PHP, or if they are able to successfully bring a private claim under securities laws that the proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Business Combination contained an actionable material misstatement or material omission.

 

57
 

 

PHP cannot assure you that the due diligence PHP has conducted on Modulex will reveal all material issues that may be present with regard to Modulex, or that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence or that risks outside of PHP’s control will not later arise.

 

Evaluation of the Modulex Transactions and alternative business opportunities may not have revealed the best target for a business combination or all material risks that may be present with regard to the Business Combination.

 

The PHP Board, consisting of four independent directors and two interested directors, evaluated the Modulex Transactions and considered alternative business opportunities. Over the course of its evaluation, the PHP Board offered letters of intent to two other distinct Potential Targets in order to maximize PHP stockholder value, which it did not pursue. As part of the PHP Board’s independent evaluation, which was conducted over a five-month period, and retained independent financial and legal advisors. The PHP Board also undertook its own analysis of key aspects of the financial model underlying Modulex’s financial projections.

 

In analyzing the Business Combination, the PHP Board conducted due diligence on Modulex and engaged in comprehensive discussions regarding the terms of the transaction, including the relative ownership of Modulex following the Business Combination. Following the entering of an LOI with Modulex, the PHP Board commenced a comprehensive evaluation of, and due diligence effort and undertook extensive negotiations with, Modulex. The PHP Board hired and convened with financial advisors and its legal team, it relied on its own financial and capital markets background, as well as obtained a fairness opinion from Houlihan, its independent financial advisor, to opine on the fairness of the proposed acquisition of 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Modulex for the Transaction Consideration of USD $600 million (the “Fairness Opinion”).

 

After performing a series of sensitivity analyses to measure the impact of changes in the underlying assumptions and inputs to the discounted cash flow analysis, including the impact of changes to the discount rate and terminal multiple, Houlihan concluded on an enterprise value range of $583 million to $736 million for use in the assessment of fairness. The Fairness Opinion ascertained that the Transaction Consideration is fair based on Houlihan’s application of the Discounted Cash Flow method.

 

A discounted cash flow analysis estimates value based upon a company’s projected future free cash flow, discounted at a rate reflecting risks inherent in such cash flows. Houlihan utilized a 16 year financial forecast provided by PHP’s management. In view of the negotiated exchange of PHP securities for the Combined Company Ordinary Shares to comprise the transaction consideration, the PHP Board believed that PHP stockholder would benefit from the Business Combination. The PHP Board relied on the Fairness Opinion regarding the fairness of the transaction consideration. See the Fairness Opinion at Annex D.

 

58
 

 

Subsequent to the consummation of the Business Combination, PHP will become a holding company of Modulex and will be dependent on distributions from Modulex to fund operating costs.

 

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the only principal asset of the Combined Company following the Business Combination will be its interest in Modulex, and accordingly, the Combined Company will be a holding company and it will depend on distributions from Modulex to pay taxes and operating expenses, as well as to pay dividends in the future, which will be dependent upon the financial results and cash flows of Modulex. There can be no assurance that Modulex will generate sufficient cash flow to distribute funds to the Combined Company, or that applicable law and contractual restrictions, including negative covenants under any debt instruments, if applicable, will permit such distributions. If Modulex does not distribute sufficient funds to the Combined Company to pay its taxes or other liabilities, the Combined Company may default on contractual obligations or have to borrow additional funds. In the event that the Combined Company is required to borrow additional funds, it could adversely affect the Combined Company’s liquidity and subject it to additional restrictions imposed by lenders.

 

The Sponsor and certain insiders of PHP has agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how PHP Stockholders vote.

 

The Sponsor and certain insiders of PHP have agreed to vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination. The Sponsor and PHP officers and directors beneficially own and are entitled to vote an aggregate of 1,437,500 Founder Shares and 293,400 shares of PHP’s Class A common stock included in the Private Placement Units or approximately 66.6% of the outstanding PHP Common Stock. These holders have also indicated that they intend to vote their shares in favor of all other proposals being presented at the meeting. In addition to the shares of PHP Common Stock held by the Sponsor and PHP’s officers and directors, PHP would need no additional shares of the 866,139 PHP public shares to be voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and other proposals in order for them to be approved (assuming all outstanding shares are voted on each proposal).

 

Even if PHP consummates the Business Combination, there can be no assurance that the PHP Warrants will be in the money at the time they become exercisable, and they may expire worthless.

 

The exercise price for the PHP Warrants is $11.50 per PHP Class A Ordinary Share. Even if PHP consummates the Business Combination, there can be no assurance that the PHP Warrants will be in the money following the time they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, and as such, the PHP Warrants may expire worthless.

 

If PHP is unable to complete the Business Combination with Modulex or another business combination by August 16, 2024 (upon depositing additional funds into the Company’s Trust Account, as described in more detail in this proxy statement/prospectus), PHP will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, third-parties may bring claims against PHP and, as a result, the PHP IPO proceeds in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per share liquidation price received by PHP Stockholders could be less than $10.00 per share.

 

Under the terms of the Existing PHP Charter, PHP must complete the Business Combination or another business combination by August 16, 2024 (if PHP’s Sponsor deposits the amount of the lesser of (x) 40,000 or (y) $0.04 per share for each public share outstanding as of each of the twelve (12), one-month extensions per month into the Trust Account for each one-month extension for up to twelve times commencing August 16, 2023, as was approved by PHP Stockholders on August 15, 2023, in an amendment to the Existing PHP Charter or such later date as may be approved by PHP’s stockholders in an amendment to the Existing PHP Charter, as described in more detail in this proxy statement/prospectus), or PHP must: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the issued and outstanding public shares, at a share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the Trust Account deposits (which interest will be net of taxes payable and less up to $100,000 to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish its Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and the PHP Board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law.

 

59
 

 

PHP’s directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of the Sponsor, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to PHP Stockholders.

 

In the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below the lesser of (i) $10.10 per PHP public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.10 per PHP public share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, and our Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against our Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations.

 

While we currently expect that our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against our Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their business judgment and subject to their fiduciary duties may choose not to do so in any particular instance if, for example, the cost of such legal action is deemed by the independent directors to be too high relative to the amount recoverable or if the independent directors determine that a favorable outcome is not likely. If our independent directors choose not to enforce these indemnification obligations, the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to our PHP public stockholders may be reduced below $10.10 per share.

 

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to our Public Shareholders, PHP files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against it that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the claims of PHP Stockholders and the per share amount that would otherwise be received by PHP Stockholders in connection with its liquidation may be reduced.

 

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to our Public Shareholders, PHP files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against it that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in PHP’s bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third-parties with priority over the claims of its shareholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, the per share amount that would otherwise be received by PHP Stockholders in connection with PHP’s liquidation may be reduced.

 

If, after we distribute the proceeds in the Trust Account to our Public Shareholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy court may seek to recover such proceeds, and we and our Board may be exposed to claims of punitive damages.

 

If, after we distribute the proceeds in the Trust Account to our Public Shareholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover all amounts received by our shareholders. In addition, our Board may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to our creditors and/or having acted in bad faith, thereby exposing itself and us to claims of punitive damages, by paying Public Shareholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors.

 

Changes in laws or regulations or how such laws or regulations are interpreted or applied, or a failure to comply with any laws or regulations, may adversely affect PHP’s business, including its ability to negotiate and complete its initial business combination, and results of operations.

 

PHP is subject to laws and regulations enacted by national, regional and local governments and foreign jurisdictions. In particular, PHP is required to comply with certain SEC and other legal requirements, its business combination may be contingent on its ability to comply with certain laws and regulations and the post-Business Combination. The Combined Company is expected to be subject to additional laws and regulations. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws and regulations may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time, including as a result of changes in economic, political, social and government policies, and those changes could have a material adverse effect on the Combined Company’s business, including its ability to negotiate and complete its initial business combination, and results of operations. In addition, a failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, could have a material adverse effect on its business, including its ability to negotiate and complete its initial business combination, and results of operations.

On March 30, 2022, the SEC issued proposed rules relating to, among other items, enhancing disclosures in business combination transactions involving SPACs and private operating companies; amending the financial statement requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies; effectively limiting the use of projections in SEC filings in connection with proposed business combination transactions; increasing the potential liability of certain participants in proposed business combination transactions; and the extent to which SPACs could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940. These rules, if adopted, whether in the form proposed or in revised form, may materially adversely affect PHP’s ability to negotiate and complete the Business Combination and may increase the costs and time related thereto as well as to the post-Business Combination Combined Company.

 

The Combined Company may redeem the unexpired PHP Warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to warrant holders, thereby making their warrants worthless.

 

The Combined Company has the ability to redeem outstanding Warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per warrant, provided that the last reported sales price of the Combined Company Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading-day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date the Combined Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Combined Company, the Combined Company may exercise its redemption right even if the Combined Company is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. Redemption of the issued and outstanding warrants could force you (i) to exercise your warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous for you to do so, (ii) to sell your warrants at the then-current market price when you might otherwise wish to hold your warrants or (iii) to accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the issued and outstanding warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of your warrants.

 

We do not have a specified maximum redemption threshold. The absence of such a redemption threshold may make it possible for us to complete a Business Combination with which a substantial majority of our shareholders do not agree. However, we must maintain a certain amount of cash within our trust account as a closing condition to the Business Combination Agreement.

 

Our current Existing PHP Charter does not provide a specified maximum redemption threshold, except that we will not redeem our public shares in an amount that would cause PHP’s net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 upon consummation of our initial business combination (such that we are not subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules). On March 31, 2023 the PHP Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption in the amount of $18,768,721 are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of PHP’s balance sheet. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, no agreements with respect to the private purchase of public shares before the Closing of the Business Combination or by the Combined Company or the persons described above have been entered into with any investor. We will file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC to disclose private arrangements entered into or significant private purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the Business Combination Proposal or other proposals (as described in this proxy statement/prospectus) at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

 

In the event the aggregate cash consideration we would be required to pay for all PHP Class A Ordinary Shares that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement exceeds the aggregate amount of cash available to us, we may not complete the Business Combination or redeem any shares, all PHP Class A Ordinary Shares submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof, and we instead may search for an alternate business combination.

PHP is dependent upon its executive officers and directors and their departure could adversely affect PHP’s ability to operate and to consummate the initial business combination; PHP’s executive officers and directors also allocate their time to other businesses, thereby causing potential conflicts of interest that could have a negative impact on PHP’s ability to complete the initial business combination.

 

PHP’s operations and its ability to consummate the Business Combination are dependent upon a relatively small group of individuals and, in particular, its executive officers and directors. PHP believes that its success depends on the continued service of its executive officers and directors, at least until the completion of the Business Combination. PHP does not have an employment agreement with, or key-man insurance on the life of, any of its executive officers or directors. The unexpected loss of the services of one or more of PHP’s executive officers or directors could have a detrimental effect on PHP and the ability to consummate the Business Combination.

 

In addition, PHP’s executive officers and directors are not required to commit any specified amount of time to its affairs and, accordingly, will have conflicts of interest in allocating management time among various business activities, including monitoring the due diligence and undertaking the other actions required in order to consummate the Business Combination. Each of PHP’s executive officers is engaged in other business endeavors for which they may be entitled to substantial compensation and PHP’s directors also serve as officers and board members for other entities. If PHP’s executive officers’ and directors’ other business affairs require them to devote substantial amounts of time to such affairs in excess of their current commitment levels, it could limit their ability to devote time to PHP’s affairs which may have a negative impact on PHP’s ability to consummate the Business Combination.

 

The Combined Company’s ability to be successful following the Business Combination will depend upon the efforts of the Combined Company’s board of directors and key personnel and the loss of such persons could negatively impact its operations and profitability.

 

The Combined Company’s ability to be successful following the Business Combination will be dependent upon the efforts of the Combined Company’s board of directors and key personnel. PHP cannot assure you that the Combined Company’s board of directors and key personnel will be effective or successful or remain with the Combined Company. In addition to the other challenges they will face, such individuals may be unfamiliar with the requirements of operating a public company, which could cause the Combined Company’s management to have to expend time and resources helping them become familiar with such requirements.

 

It is estimated that, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the PHP public stockholders will own approximately [3.7]% of the equity interests of the Combined Company including the Sponsor (assuming no further redemptions) and PHP’s management, which does not include the Public Warrants or Private Placement Warrants or the PIPE investment, which is not certain at this juncture. Other than Garry Stein, who is expected to serve on the board of directors of the Combined Company, PHP’s management will not be engaged in the management of the Combined Company’s business. Accordingly, the future performance of the Combined Company will depend upon the quality of the post-Business Combination board of directors, management and key personnel of the Combined Company. The Combined Company’s post-Business Combination board of directors will serve PHP as well. The remaining members of the PHP Board will resign.

 

Certain of PHP’s officers and directors may negotiate employment or consulting agreements with the Combined Company in connection with the Business Combination that may provide for compensation to be received following the Business Combination, which may cause them to have conflicts of interest in determining whether the Business Combination is advantageous.

 

Certain of PHP’s officers and directors may be able to remain with the Combined Company after the completion of the Business Combination pursuant to employment or consulting agreements negotiated in connection with the Business Combination. Such negotiations could provide for such individuals to receive compensation in the form of cash payments and/or securities of the Combined Company for services they would render to the Combined Company after the completion of the Business Combination. The personal and financial interests of such individuals may influence their motivation in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. However, PHP believes the ability of such individuals to remain with the Combined Company after the completion of the Business Combination will not be the determining factor in PHP’s decisions regarding the consummation of the Business Combination. There is no certainty, however, that any of PHP’s key personnel will remain with the Combined Company after the consummation of the Business Combination. PHP cannot assure you that any of its key personnel will remain in senior management or advisory positions with the Combined Company.

Particularly, Garry Stein is currently a member of PHP’s Sponsor. By virtue of this relationship, Mr. Stein may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of the securities held of record by our Sponsor. Mr. Stein disclaims any such beneficial ownership except to the extent of his pecuniary interest in the shares of PHP Class B common stock. The consummation of the Business Combination will result in Mr. Stein becoming the legal owner of 60,000 Combined Company Ordinary Shares and an independent director and chair of the Combined Company Board’s Audit Committee. He is currently a party to a consulting agreement with Red Ribbon (the sponsor of Modulex), PHP and Sponsor whereby Mr. Stein will be awarded 50,000 shares after consummation of the Business Combination in exchange for consulting services rendered that are related to consummation of the Business Combination agreement. Mr. Stein will also be an independent member of the board of directors and chair of the Combined Company’s Audit Committee following the closing of the Business Combination and, therefore, in the future Mr. Stein will receive any cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the board of directors of the Combined Company determines to pay to its non-executive directors. Mr. Stein disclosed his interest to the PHP Board on March 23, 2023 and the PHP Board approved this arrangement.

 

Because PHP’s Sponsor, officers and directors will lose their entire investment in PHP if the Business Combination is not completed, and because PHP’s Sponsor, officers and directors will not be eligible to be reimbursed for their out-of-pocket expenses if the Business Combination is not completed, a conflict of interest may have arisen in determining whether Modulex was appropriate for PHP’s initial business combination.

 

PHP’s Sponsor, officers and directors currently own 1,437,500 Founder Shares. In addition, the Sponsor purchased 293,400 Placement Units contemporaneous with the closing of the IPO, the Class A Ordinary Shares and the Placement Warrants underlying the Placement Units will be worthless if PHP does not complete a business combination. The Founder Shares automatically convert into Combined Company Ordinary Shares at the Closing. The holders of Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares have agreed (A) to vote any shares owned by them in favor of any proposed business combination, (B) not to redeem any shares in connection with an PHP stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination, and (C) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares held by them if PHP fails to complete an initial business combination within the requisite time period.

 

The personal and financial interests of PHP’s officers and directors may have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting a target business combination, completing an initial business combination and influencing the operation of the business following the initial business combination. At the closing of PHP’s initial business combination, its Sponsor, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on PHP’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. In the event the Business Combination or an alternative business combination is completed, there is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on PHP’s behalf. However, PHP’s Sponsor, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates will not be eligible for any such reimbursement if the Business Combination or an alternative business combination is not completed. Such financial interests of PHP’s Sponsor, officers and directors may have influenced their motivation in approving the Business Combination and may influence their motivation for completing the Business Combination.

Given the differential in the purchase price that our Sponsor paid for the Founder Shares as compared to the price of the PHP Units sold in the PHP IPO and the number Combined Company Ordinary Shares that our Sponsor will receive upon Closing of the Business Combination, our Sponsor and its affiliates may earn a positive rate of return on their investment even if the Combined Company Ordinary Shares trades below the price initially paid for the PHP Units in the PHP IPO and the Public Shareholders experience a negative rate of return following the completion of the Business Combination. Thus, our Sponsor and its affiliates may have more of an economic incentive for us to, rather than liquidate if we fail to complete our initial business combination, enter into an initial business combination on potentially less favorable terms with a potentially less favorable, riskier, weaker-performing or financially unstable business, or an entity lacking an established record of revenues or earnings, than would be the case if such parties had paid the full offering price for their Founder Shares.

 

Since the Sponsor and PHP’s directors and executive officers have interests that are different, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), the interests of PHP’s shareholders, a conflict of interest may have existed in determining whether the Business Combination with Modulex is appropriate as PHP’s initial business combination. Such interests include that the Sponsor, as well as PHP’s executive officers and directors, will lose their entire investment in PHP if PHP’s business combination is not completed.

 

When you consider the recommendation of the PHP Board in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor, PHP’s directors, and executive officers, have interests in such proposal that are different from, or in addition to, those of PHP stockholder and PHP warrant holders generally. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

 

  unless PHP consummates the Business Combination, PHP’s officers and directors and the Sponsor will not receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them to the extent that such expenses exceed the amount of available proceeds not deposited in the Trust Account;
     
  the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for its Founder Shares. The Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 293,400 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $2,934,000 (upon the over-allotment option being exercised in full). Such Founder Shares had an aggregate market value of $15,683,125 and the 293,400 shares of PHP’s Class A common stock included in the Private Placement Units had an aggregate market value of $3,200,994 based upon the closing price of $10.91 per share on the Nasdaq on September 8, 2023. If the proposed Business Combination with Modulex is consummated, the Sponsor may still earn a positive rate of return on its investment, even if other stockholders experience a negative rate of return in post-Business Combination. Our Sponsor transferred 20,000 shares to Mr. Ngoh, 6,000 shares to Mr. Stein, 2,500 shares to Mr. Phoon, 2,500 shares to Mr. Anih and 3,000 shares to Legacy Royals, LLC an entity controlled by Mr. Gordon. Additionally, pursuant to a Securities Transfer Agreement dated January 23, 2023, Red Ribbon Asset Management PLC transferred 50,000 shares Class B Common Stock to Mr. Stein. Finally, pursuant to a Securities Transfer Agreement dated March 21, 2023, Low Ban Chai transferred 4,000 shares of Class B Common Stock to Mr. Stein;
     
  as a condition to the PHP IPO, the Founder Shares became subject to a six-month lock-up whereby, the Sponsor and officers and directors have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Class B ordinary shares (except to certain permitted transferees) until, with respect to 50% of the Class B ordinary shares, the earlier of (i) six months after the date of the consummation of a Business Combination, or (ii) the date on which the closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after a Business Combination, and with respect to the remaining 50% of the Class B ordinary shares, upon six months after the date of the consummation of a Business Combination, or earlier in each case, if, subsequent to a Business Combination, the Company consummates a subsequent liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property;
     
  an aggregate of 293,400 Placement Units were issued to the Sponsor simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO and the underwriters’ exercise of its over-allotment option. Such 293,400 shares of PHP’s Class A common stock included in the Private Placement Units had an aggregate market value of $3,200,994 based upon the closing price of $10.91 per share on the Nasdaq on September 8, 2023, which 293,400 Placement Units include placement warrants to purchase an aggregate of 293,400 Class A ordinary shares at $11.50 per share;

 

64
 

 

  the Sponsor has agreed that the Placement Units, and all of their underlying securities, will not be sold or transferred by it until 30 days after PHP has completed a business combination, subject to limited exceptions. If the Company does not complete the Business Combination, the proceeds from the sale of the Placement Units will be used to fund the redemption of the PHP Class A ordinary shares while the placement warrants underlying the Placement Units will expire worthless;
     
  the Sponsor and directors and officers of PHP have agreed not to redeem any PHP Common Stock they hold in connection with an PHP stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination. If the Company does not complete the Business Combination, the proceeds from the sale of the Placement Units will be used to fund the redemption of the PHP Class A Ordinary Shares while the placement warrants underlying the Placement Units will expire worthless;
     
 

Sponsor may loan to PHP additional funds for working capital purposes prior to the Business Combination. An amount of $751,929 is currently outstanding for working capital loans from the Sponsor as of June 30, 2023. PHP’s officers and directors (or their affiliates) may also make loans from time to time to PHP to fund certain capital requirements. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, no such loans remain outstanding, but loans may be made after the date of this proxy statement/prospectus.

     
  Pursuant to the Administrative Support Agreement entered into between PHP and Arc Group Limited, contemporaneous to the PHP IPO, PHP agreed to reimburse Arc Group Limited $10,000 per month commencing after the IPO through the Business Combination. These amounts are accruing and remain unpaid and payable at the time of the Closing of the Business Combination. As of September 27, 2023, approximately $20,000 is due to ARC Group Limited under the Administrative Support Agreement.
     
  in the Sponsor’s discretion, funds used by the Company to extend the date to complete the initial business combination may be loaned by the Sponsor or its affiliates or designees to be deposited in the Trust Account, which loan amount from the Sponsor or its affiliates may be converted into Extension Units, at the price of $10.00 per unit. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be converted into units, at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender, upon consummation of our initial business combination. The units would be identical to the placement units; and
     
  certain of Modulex’s directors and executive officers will serve as officers of the Combined Company following the consummation of the Business Combination. Namely, Suchit Punnose and Garry Stein and are expected to be appointed as directors of the Combined Company after the consummation of the Business Combination and may in the future receive cash fees, options or share awards that the Combined Company determines to pay to its directors. As such, in the future they will receive any cash or equity-based compensation that the Modulex Technology board determines to pay to such officers.
