Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
As previously disclosed, on October 26, 2023, Feutune Light Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“FLFV,” or “PubCo” upon and following the Merger (as defined herein)), Feutune Light Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of FLFV (“Merger Sub”), and Thunder Power Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Thunder Power”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended on March 19, 2024 and April 5, 2024, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, (1) Thunder Power will merge with and into Merger Sub with Merger Sub surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of FLFV (the “Merger”), and (2) shareholders of Thunder Power immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) collectively will receive from FLFV, in the aggregate, a number of newly issued shares of common stock of PubCo, par value $0.0001 per share, equal to: (i) $600,000,000, divided by (ii) $10.00 per share in consideration of converting their ordinary shares of Thunder Power, par value $0.0001 per share (collectively, the “Business Combination”).
Forward Purchase Agreement with Meteora
On June 11, 2024, FLFV and Thunder Power entered into an agreement with (i) Meteora Capital Partners, LP (“MCP”), (ii) Meteora Select Trading Opportunities Master, LP (“MSTO”), and (iii) Meteora Strategic Capital, LLC (“MSC” and, collectively with MCP and MSTO, the “Seller”) (the “Forward Purchase Agreement”). For purposes of the Forward Purchase Agreement, (i) FLFV is referred to as the “Counterparty” prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, while PubCo is referred to as the “Counterparty” after the consummation of the Business Combination and (ii) “Shares” means shares of the Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of FLFV prior to the closing of the Business Combination (“FLFV Shares”), and, after the closing of the Business Combination, shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Pubco (“PubCo Shares”). Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Forward Purchase Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement, the Seller intends, but is not obligated, to purchase up to 4,900,000 Shares (the “Purchased Amount”) pursuant to the FPA Funding Amount PIPE Subscription Agreement (as defined herein), less the number of FLFV Shares purchased by the Seller separately from third parties through a broker in the open market (“Recycled Shares”). The Seller will not be required to purchase an amount of Shares such that following such purchase, the Seller’s ownership would exceed 9.9% of the total Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such purchase, unless the Seller, at its sole discretion, waives such 9.9% ownership limitation. The number of Shares subject to the Forward Purchase Agreement is subject to reduction following a termination of the Forward Purchase Agreement with respect to such shares as described under “Optional Early Termination” in the Forward Purchase Agreement.
1
The Forward Purchase Agreement provides for a prepayment shortfall in an amount in U.S. dollars equal to 0.25% of the product of the Recycled Shares and the Initial Price (as defined herein) (the “Prepayment Shortfall”). The Seller will pay the Prepayment Shortfall to the Counterparty on the Prepayment Date (which amount will be netted from the Prepayment Amount) (the “Initial Prepayment Shortfall”). Additionally, following the closing of the Business Combination and up to 45 calendar days prior to the Valuation Date, Counterparty may, in its sole discretion, request additional Prepayment Shortfall from Seller in tranches of $500,000 (the “Additional Prepayment Shortfall” and, together with Initial Prepayment Shortfall, the “Prepayment Shortfall”); provided (i) Seller has recovered any prior Prepayment Shortfall, (ii) the VWAP Price over the prior ten (10) trading days multiplied by the then current freely-tradeable Shares held by Seller be at least six (6) times greater than the Additional Prepayment Shortfall request and (iii) the total value traded in Counterparty’s stock, as reported on the relevant Bloomberg Screen, be at least six (6) times greater than the Additional Prepayment Shortfall request (with (i), (ii) and (iii) collectively as the “Shortfall Conditions”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may waive the Shortfall Conditions, in whole or in part, via written consent to Counterparty.
The Seller in its sole discretion may sell Recycled Shares at any time following the Trade Date and at any sales price, without payment by the Seller of any Early Termination Obligation until such time as the proceeds from such sales equal 110% of the Prepayment Shortfall (as set forth under Shortfall Sales in the Forward Purchase Agreement) (such sales, “Shortfall Sales,” and such shares, “Shortfall Sale Shares”). A sale of Shares is only (a) a “Shortfall Sale,” subject to the terms and conditions applicable to Shortfall Sale Shares, when a Shortfall Sale Notice is delivered under the Forward Purchase Agreement, and (b) an Optional Early Termination, subject to the terms and conditions of the Forward Purchase Agreement applicable to Terminated Shares (as defined herein), when an OET Notice (as defined herein) is delivered under the Forward Purchase Agreement, in each case the delivery of such notice in the sole discretion of the Seller (as further described under “Optional Early Termination” and “Shortfall Sales” in the Forward Purchase Agreement).
The Forward Purchase Agreement provides that the Seller will be paid directly an aggregate cash amount (the “Prepayment Amount”) equal to (x) the product of (i) the number of Shares as set forth in a Pricing Date Notice and (ii) the redemption price per share as defined in Section 9.2(b) of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of FLFV, effective as of June 15, 2022, as amended from time to time (the “Initial Price”), less (y) the Initial Prepayment Shortfall.
The Counterparty will pay to the Seller the Prepayment Amount required under the Forward Purchase Agreement directly from the Counterparty’s trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company holding the net proceeds of the sale of the units in the Counterparty’s initial public offering and the sale of private placement shares (the “Trust Account”), no later than the earlier of (a) one New York business day after the date of the closing of the Business Combination pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement (the “Closing Date”) and (b) the date any assets from the Trust Account are disbursed in connection with the Business Combination; except that to the extent that the Prepayment Amount is to be paid from the purchase of Additional Shares (as defined herein) by the Seller, such amount will be netted against such proceeds, with the Seller being able to reduce the purchase price for the Additional Shares by the Prepayment Amount.
The Seller will purchase “Additional Shares” from the Counterparty at any date prior to the Valuation Date at the Initial Price, with such number of Shares to be specified in a Pricing Date Notice as Additional Shares subject to 9.9% ownership limitations which may be waived by Seller at its sole discretion; provided that such number of Additional Shares that may be purchased from the Counterparty will not exceed (x) the Maximum Number of Shares, minus (y) the Recycled Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, any Additional Shares purchased by the Seller will be included in the number of Shares under the Forward Purchase Agreement for all purposes.
In addition to the Prepayment Amount, the Counterparty will pay directly from the Trust Account, on the Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the product of (x) up to 100,000 (with such final amount to be determined by Seller in its sole discretion via written notice to the Counterparty) and (y) the Initial Price. The Shares purchased with the Share Consideration (the “Share Consideration Shares”) will be incremental to the Maximum Number of Shares (as defined herein) and will not be included in the number of Shares in connection with the Transaction under the Forward Purchase Agreement.
2
Within 45 days after June 11, 2024 (the “Trade Date”), the Counterparty will file (at the Counterparty’s sole cost and expense) with the SEC a registration statement registering the resale of all Shares held by the Seller, including the Recycled Shares, Share Consideration Shares and any Additional Shares (the “Registration Statement”), and have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof in accordance with the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement.
The reset price (the “Reset Price”) will initially be $10.00. The Reset Price will be subject to reset on a weekly basis commencing the first week following the thirtieth day after the closing of the Business Combination to be the lowest of (a) the then current Reset Price, (b) the Initial Price and (c) the VWAP Price of the Shares of the prior trading weeks; provided that the Reset Price will be subject to reduction upon a Dilutive Offering Reset immediately upon the occurrence of such Dilutive Offering. The “Maximum Number of Shares” subject to the Forward Purchase Agreement will initially be the Purchased Amount; upon the occurrence of a Dilutive Offering Reset, a number of Shares equal to the quotient of (i) the Purchased Amount divided by (ii) the quotient of (a) the price of such Dilutive Offering divided by (b) the $10.00.
From time to time and on any date following the Trade Date (any such date, an “OET Date”) and subject to the terms and conditions in the Forward Purchase Agreement, the Seller may, in its absolute discretion, terminate the Transaction in whole or in part by providing written notice to the Counterparty (the “OET Notice”), by the later of (a) the fifth Local Business Day following the OET Date and (b) no later than the next Payment Date following the OET Date, (which will specify the quantity by which the number of Shares will be reduced (such quantity, the “Terminated Shares”)). The effect of an OET Notice will be to reduce the number of Shares by the number of Terminated Shares specified in such OET Notice with effect as of the related OET Date. As of each OET Date, the Counterparty will be entitled to an amount from the Seller, and the Seller will pay to the Counterparty an amount, equal to the product of (x) the number of Terminated Shares and (y) the Reset Price in respect of such OET Date (except that no amount will be due to Counterparty upon any Shortfall Sale). The payment date may be changed within a quarter at the mutual agreement of the parties.
The “Valuation Date” is the earlier to occur of (a) the date that is 36 months after the Closing Date, (b) the date specified by the Seller in a written notice to be delivered to the Counterparty at the Seller’s discretion (which Valuation Date will not be earlier than the day such notice is effective) after the occurrence of any of (v) a Shortfall Variance Registration Failure, (w) a VWAP Trigger Event, (x) a Delisting Event, (y) a Registration Failure or (z) unless otherwise specified therein, upon any Additional Termination Event, and (c) the date specified by the Seller in a written notice to be delivered to the Counterparty at the Seller’s sole discretion (which Valuation Date will not be earlier than the day such notice is effective). The Valuation Date notice will become effective immediately upon its delivery from the Seller to the Counterparty in accordance with the Forward Purchase Agreement.
On the Cash Settlement Payment Date, which is the tenth New York business day immediately following the last day of the Valuation Period, the Seller will remit to the Counterparty an amount equal to the Settlement Amount and will not otherwise be required to return to the Counterparty any of the Prepayment Amount and the Counterparty will remit to the Seller the Settlement Amount Adjustment (as defined herein); provided, that if the Settlement Amount less the Settlement Amount Adjustment is a negative number and either clause (x) of the “Settlement Amount Adjustment” section in the Forward Purchase Agreement applies or the Counterparty has elected pursuant to clause (y) under “Settlement Amount Adjustment” in the Forward Purchase Agreement to pay the Settlement Amount Adjustment in cash, then neither the Seller nor the Counterparty will be liable to the other party for any payment under “Cash Settlement Payment Date” in the Forward Purchase Agreement. The “Settlement Amount Adjustment” is the cash amount equal to the product of (i) the Maximum Number of Shares as of the Valuation Date multiplied by (ii) $2.00.
The Seller has agreed to waive any redemption rights with respect to any Recycled Shares in connection with the Business Combination, as well as any redemption rights under FLFV’s Certificate of Incorporation that would require redemption by FLFV. Such waiver may reduce the number of Shares redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, and such reduction could alter the perception of the potential strength of the Business Combination. The Forward Purchase Agreement has been structured, and all activity in connection with such agreement has been undertaken, to comply with the requirements of all tender offer regulations applicable to the Business Combination, including Rule 14e-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
The Counterparty has agreed to grant the Seller, for the period beginning on June 11, 2024 and ending on the 12-month anniversary of the Valuation Date, the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion, to invest on the terms offered to the Seller by the Counterparty up to 50% of any future debt, equity, derivative or any other kind of financing of the Counterparty, as legally permitted (each a “Covered Financing”). The Seller will be provided at least ten (10) business day notice to invest in any Covered Financing. For the avoidance of doubt, Covered Financings does not include any equity line of credit.

On June 11, 2024, FLFV entered into a subscription agreement (the “FPA Funding Amount PIPE Subscription Agreement”) with the Seller.
Pursuant to the FPA Funding PIPE Subscription Agreement, Seller agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and FLFV agreed to issue and sell to Seller, prior to the Valuation Date, an aggregate of up to 4,900,000 FLFV Shares, less the Recycled Shares in connection with the Forward Purchase Agreement, at the Initial Price per share. On the Closing Date, all outstanding FLFV Shares (including shares issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement) will be exchanged for newly issued PubCo Shares in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.
The foregoing description of the FPA Funding PIPE Subscription Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text the FPA Funding PIPE Subscription Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

As of June 12, 2024, holders of an aggregate of 97.26% or 2,533,295 FLFV Public Shares elected to exercise their right to redeem their FLFV Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. Based upon the current amount in the Trust Account, FLFV estimates that the per share redemption price, assuming estimated withdrawals from the Trust Account to pay franchise and income taxes owed by FLFV, as of June 12, 2024, will be approximately $11.09.
