Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Business Combination Agreement

 

On April 26, 2025, Black Hawk Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) by and among Vesicor Therapeutics, Inc., a California corporation (which shall reincorporate into the State of Delaware so as to migrate to and domesticate as a Delaware corporation on the day that is one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date (as defined below) (the “Vesicor”), and BH Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”). The Business Combination Agreement provides, among other things, that on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, (i) the Company will de-register in the Cayman Islands and transfer by way of continuation out of the Cayman Islands and into the State of Delaware so as to migrate to and domesticate as a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”), and (ii) following the Domestication, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Vesicor, as a result of which Vesicor will be the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”), (prior to the Domestication, the Company shall be referred to herein as “Parent”, and at and after the Domestication, “PubCo”). The Domestication, Merger, and other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Business Combination;” and the consummation of the Merger is referred to as the “Closing” and the date of the Closing is referred to as the “Closing Date.” Upon the closing of the Business Combination, the Company, as the public company, will change its name and the Company plans to remain Nasdaq-listed under a new ticker symbol. Capitalized terms shall have the meaning as defined in the Business Combination Agreement.

 

Vesicor is a development-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of p53-based cancer therapeutics delivered via microvesicles.

 

The Domestication

 

The Domestication will occur on the day that is one business day prior to the Closing Date. Upon the Domestication, it is anticipated that Vesicor will be the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Company is referred to herein as PubCo as of the time following the Domestication.

 

Before the Domestication, the Parent’s capitalization consists of Parent Ordinary Shares, Parent Rights, and Parent Units, collectively (all defined below). “Parent Ordinary Shares” means Parent Class A Ordinary Shares and Parent Class B Ordinary Shares. “Parent Rights” means the issued and outstanding rights of Parent, each such right convertible into one share of Parent Common Stock at the closing of a business combination. “Parent Unit” means each outstanding unit consisting of one share of Parent Common Stock and one-fifth (1/5) of one Parent Right denominated in one share of Parent Common Stock. Following the Domestication, PubCo’s capitalization shall consist of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “PubCo Common Stock”).

 

Upon the Domestication, every issued and outstanding Parent Class A Ordinary Share shall convert automatically into one share of PubCo Common Stock. Further, every issued and outstanding Parent Unit shall also be separated automatically into each’s individual components of one share of PubCo’s Common Stock and one-fifth (1/5) of one PubCo’s Right, and all Parent Units shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist. Each individually separated component shall, at the Domestication consummation, be converted into the PubCo’s Class A Ordinary Shares, and/or one-fifth (1/5) of PubCo Right, as the case may be. Lastly, at the Domestication, every issued and outstanding Parent Right immediately prior to the Domestication Effective Time shall be converted automatically into one the post-Domestication Right.

The Merger

 

On the day of the Closing, the Merger will occur. At the effective time of the Merger, each share of the PubCo’s capital stock that is owned by PubCo as treasury shares immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof to receive a number of shares of PubCo Common Stock equal to the Consideration Ratio (as defined below). Additionally, each outstanding unexercised warrants to purchase shares of Vesicor common stock (each a “Vesicor Warrant”) will be assumed by PubCo and converted into a warrant to purchase a number of shares of PubCo Common Stock, with the same terms, conditions, vesting schedules, and other provisions as were applicable to the corresponding Vesicor Warrant immediately prior to the Merger.

 

Consideration and Structure

 

The “Aggregate Merger Consideration” to be issued to Vesicor selling securityholders in connection with the Merger will be determined by dividing (a) 70,000,000 (the “Equity Value”) by (b) the price (the “Redemption Price”) at which each of Parent Class A Ordinary Shares may be redeemed in connection with the Business Combination. The “Consideration Ratio” is the number of shares of PubCo Common Stock to be issued in exchange for issued and outstanding Vesicor capital stock upon the Merger and is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Aggregate Merger Consideration by (y) the Aggregate Fully Diluted Company Shares, as defined in the Business Combination Agreement.

 

Representations, Warranties and Covenants

 

The parties to the Business Combination Agreement have agreed to customary representations and warranties for transactions of this type. In addition, the parties to the Business Combination Agreement agreed to be bound by certain customary covenants for transactions of this type, including, among others, covenants with respect to the conduct of Vesicor and the Company during the period between execution of the Business Combination Agreement and the Closing. Each of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to cause all actions and things necessary to consummate and expeditiously implement the Business Combination. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of parties made under the Business Combination Agreement will not survive the Closing except for the covenants and agreements contained therein by their terms expressly apply in whole or in part at or after the Closing or in the case of claims against a person or entity in respect of such person’s or entity’s common law fraud.

 

Registration Statement / Proxy Statement

 

As promptly as reasonably practicable after receipt of information concerning Vesicor and Vesicor securityholders as is either required by the federal securities laws or reasonably requested by the Company for inclusion in the Registration Statement (as defined below), the Company and Vesicor will prepare and file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement on Form S-4 relating to the Business Combination (the “Registration Statement”), which will contain a proxy statement relating to a meeting of the Company shareholders (the “Company Shareholders Meeting”) to be held to consider, among other things, (x) approval of the Domestication, (y) approval of the Business Combination (including the approval and adoption of the Business Combination Agreement and the Merger) and (z) the adoption and approval of certain other proposals the parties deem necessary to effectuate the Business Combination.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company’s and Vesicor’s actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “might” and “continues,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the Company’s and Vesicor’s expectations with respect to future performance and anticipated financial impacts of the Business Combination, the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the Business Combination and the timing of the completion of the Business Combination. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results. Most of these factors are outside the control of the Company, Vesicor and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement relating to the proposed Business Combination; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company or Vesicor following the announcement of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein; (3) the inability to complete the Business Combination, including due to failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of the Company or other conditions to closing in the Business Combination Agreement; (4) delays in obtaining or the inability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals required to complete the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement; (5) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement or could otherwise cause the transaction to fail to close; (6) the inability to obtain or maintain the listing of the post-acquisition company’s ordinary shares on Nasdaq following the Business Combination; (7) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; (8) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably and retain its key employees; (9) costs related to the Business Combination; (10) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (11) the possibility that Vesicor or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; and (12) other risks and uncertainties to be identified in the Registration Statement filed by PubCo (when available) relating to the Business Combination, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and in other filings with the SEC made by the Company and Vesicor. The Company and Vesicor caution that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. The Company and Vesicor caution readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Neither the Company nor Vesicor undertakes or accepts any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based, subject to applicable law. The information contained in any website referenced herein is not, and shall not be deemed to be, part of or incorporated into this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

No Offer or Solicitation

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the Business Combination, or an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an exemption therefrom, nor shall any sale of securities in any states or jurisdictions in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction be affected. Neither the SEC nor any securities commission of any other U.S. or non-U.S. jurisdiction has approved or disapproved of the Business Combination contemplated hereby or determined that this press release is truthful or complete.
