Vahanna Tech I (NASDAQ:VHNA) announced in an 8-K this morning that it has signed a forward purchase agreement with Meteora Capital Partners and affiliates covering up to 5,000,000 shares or 9.9% of Vahanna’s total public float at close.
The agreement is designed to cover a minimum of 3,500,000 shares and Meteora may waive the 9.9% cap. Meteora is to be paid up front for 0.5% of the total value of these purchases and also a payment equal to the shares’ value according to the redemption rate.
It may begin selling these shares 180 days out from close, transferring proceeds to the combined company as they are gradually terminated from the agreement. Meteora will remit payment for any remaining shares still covered by the agreement 10 days after the agreement hits its valuation date, 18 months out from close.
