As described below under Item 5.07 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, on April 11, 2023, Blue Safari Group Acquisition Corp. (“BSGA,” or the “Company”) convened its extraordinary general meeting (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”) to approve, among other things, the previously announced business combination and other transactions (the “Business Combination”) by and among Bitdeer Technologies Group, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“BTG”), Bitdeer Technologies Holding Company, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Bitdeer”), BSGA, Blue Safari Merge Limited, a British Virgin Islands business company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of BTG (“BSGA Merger Sub 1”), Blue Safari Merge II Limited, a British Virgin Islands business company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of BTG (“BSGA Merger Sub 2”), Bitdeer Merge Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a wholly-owned subsidiary of BTG (“Bitdeer Merger Sub”) and Blue Safari Mini Corp., an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a wholly-owned subsidiary of BSGA (“BSGA Sub”).
At the Extraordinary General Meeting, the Company’s shareholders also approved, among other items, the equity incentive plan of BTG to be effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination (the “BTG Incentive Plan”). Descriptions of the material terms of the BTG Incentive Plan are included in BSGA’s definitive proxy statement/prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2023 (the “Proxy Statement”), which descriptions are incorporated herein by reference. Such descriptions do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the BTG Incentive Plan, the form of which is attached as Annex C to the Proxy Statement and incorporated herein by reference.
| Item 5.07. | Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. |
The Extraordinary General Meeting was held on April 11, 2023 to consider and vote upon certain proposals related to the amended and restated agreement and plan of merger dated December 15, 2021 (as it may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among BSGA, BTG, Bitdeer, BSGA Merger Sub 1, BSGA Merger Sub 2, Bitdeer Merger Sub, and BSGA Sub. The Merger Agreement contemplates three mergers in connection with the Business Combination. At the effective time of the first merger, BSGA Merger Sub 1 will be merged with and into BSGA, and the separate corporate existence of BSGA Merger Sub 1 will cease and BSGA will continue as the surviving company under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (the “First SPAC Merger”, and the surviving entity, the “Initial SPAC Surviving Sub”). Immediately following the First SPAC Merger and at the effective time of the second merger, BSGA will be merged with and into BSGA Merger Sub 2 and BSGA Merger Sub 2 will continue as the surviving company under the laws of the British Virgin Islands as a wholly-owned subsidiary of BTG (the “Second SPAC Merger”, and together with the First SPAC Merger, the “Initial Mergers”). Following the Initial Mergers, at the effective time of the third merger, Bitdeer Merger Sub will be merged with and into Bitdeer (the “Acquisition Merger”, and together with the Initial Mergers, the “Mergers”). Following the Acquisition Merger, the separate corporate existence of Bitdeer Merger Sub will cease and Bitdeer will continue as the surviving company in the Acquisition Merger under the laws of the Cayman Islands and become a wholly-owned subsidiary of BTG.
There were 3,505,888 ordinary shares of BSGA issued and outstanding as of March 20, 2023, the record date for the Extraordinary General Meeting. At the Extraordinary General Meeting, the holders of 2,974,230 ordinary shares of BSGA were represented in person or by proxy, representing approximately 84.8% of the total ordinary shares of BSGA, which constituted a quorum.
The BSGA shareholders apprpoved the Business Combination Proposal, the Initial Mergers Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Governing Documents Proposal, the Governing Documents Proposals A to D, and the BTG Incentive Plan Proposal (each as defined in the Proxy Statement).
