Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 23, 2024, Insight Acquisition Corp. (“Insight” or the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with Streeterville Capital, LLC (the “Investor”), an entity controlled by John M. Fife, pursuant to which the Company will sell, and the Investor will purchase, a secured convertible promissory note in the original principal amount of $2,890,000 (the “Note”) for a net purchase price of $2,600,000 (after deducting an original issue discount of $260,000, and payment of $30,000 for the Investor’s legal, accounting, due diligence, asset monitoring, and other transaction expenses), which is anticipated to close on the date that the Company closes its business combination (the “Business Combination”) with Alpha Modus, Corp. (“Alpha Modus”).

The SPA includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and customary closing conditions. The SPA grants the Investor (i) the right to fund up to an additional $5,000,000 to the Company, with the Company’s consent, through the date that is six months following repayment of the Note in full (the “Reinvestment Right”), and (ii) the exclusive right, on customary market terms, to enter into an equity line of credit or other similar financing arrangement with the Company for at least $20,000,000, through the date that is one year following the Purchase Price Date (defined below). Pursuant the SPA, Alpha Modus is required to guarantee all of the Company’s obligations under the Note and related transaction documents pursuant to a guaranty agreement (the “Guaranty”), and the Note will also be secured by security agreements (the “Security Agreements”) by and between the Investor and both the Company and Alpha Modus, granting the Investor first priority security interests in all assets of the Company, as well as all assets of Alpha Modus, including all of Alpha Modus’ intellectual property (and including Alpha Modus’ patent portfolio) pursuant to a separate intellectual property security agreement (the “IP Security Agreement”). Additionally, the Company and Alpha Modus (collectively the “Borrowers”), and William Alessi, his entity, Janbella Group, LLC, and the trusts deemed to be beneficially owned by Mr. Alessi (each a “Capital Party” and collectively the “Capital Parties”), are required to execute at closing a subordination and voting agreement (the “Subordination Agreement”) pursuant to which (i) all of the Borrowers’ indebtedness and obligations to each Capital Party will be subordinated to Investor, (ii) all security interests of any Capital Party will be subordinate to Investor’s security interests, (iii) the Borrowers will not make any payments to any Capital Party, (iv) none of the Capital Parties will accelerate any subordinated debt or equity, (v) and no Capital Party will convert or exchange their preferred stock of the Company into Common Stock, until such time as the Investor has been fully paid and all financing agreements between the Investor and the Borrowers are terminated.

The Note will mature 18 months following the date the purchase price is delivered to the Company (the “Purchase Price Date”), will accrue interest of 10% per annum, will be prepayable (after providing five trading days’ notice) at a 20% premium to the then-outstanding balance of the Note, and will be convertible into Class A common stock (“Common Stock”) of the Company as described below. Within 30 days of the Purchase Price Date, the Company will be obligated to file a registration statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) registering a number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note in an amount no less than two times the number of shares of Common Stock necessary to convert the outstanding balance under the Note in full as of the date the Company files the registration statement. If the registration statement is not declared effective by the SEC within 120 days of the Purchase Price Date, the outstanding balance under the Note will automatically increase by one percent and will continue increasing by one percent every 30 days thereafter until the registration statement is declared effective or the Investor is able to sell shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. If by the date that 50% of the shares registered under the registration statement have been issued to Investor (such date, the “Trigger Date”) the Note has not yet been repaid in full, the Company will be obligated to file an additional registration statement registering additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note within 30 days of the Trigger Date. If that additional registration statement is not declared effective by the SEC within 120 days of the Trigger Date, the outstanding balance under the Note will automatically increase by one percent and will continue increasing by one percent every 30 days thereafter until the additional registration statement is declared effective.

The Note will be convertible at the election of the Investor into shares of Common Stock at any time following the earlier of the effective date of the registration statement described above or one year following the Purchase Price Date, at a conversion price equal to 90% multiplied by the lowest daily volume-weighted average price during the five trading days preceding conversion, and provided that (i) the Investor may not convert the Note into shares of Common Stock to the extent that such conversion would result in the Investor’s beneficial ownership of Common Stock being in excess of 4.99% (or 9.99% if the Company’s market capitalization is less than $10 million), and provided that (ii) the Note is not convertible into a total cumulative number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock permitted by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635 (the “Exchange Cap”). Pursuant to the terms of the Note, the Company will, within 120 days of the Purchase Price Date, seek shareholder approval of the Note and the issuance of shares of Common Stock, issuable upon conversion of the Note and pursuant to the Reinvestment Right, in excess of the Exchange Cap (the “Shareholder Approvals”). If such shareholder approval is not obtained within 120 days, the Company will continue to seek shareholder approval every three months thereafter until shareholder approval is obtained. Pursuant to the Subordination Agreement, each Capital Party is required to vote all of their shares of Company stock in favor of the Shareholder Approvals. Under the SPA, the Company is required to initially reserve 7,500,000 shares of its Common Stock for issuance to the Investor under the Note, and the Company is required to add additional shares to the reserve in increments of 100,000 shares when requested by the Investor if at the time of the request the number of shares being held in reserve is less than three times the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the outstanding balance under the Note divided by the applicable conversion price at that time.

The foregoing description of the SPA, as well as the Guaranty, Security Agreements, IP Security Agreement, Subordination Agreement, and Note, do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the agreements, a copy of which (in the case of the SPA), or the form of which (in the case of the Guaranty, Security Agreements, IP Security Agreement, Subordination Agreement and Note) are filed as Exhibit 10.1 (and included as exhibits to it), to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

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.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Insight’s and Alpha Modus’ 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,” “continue,” and similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying these statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, Insight’s and Alpha Modus’ expectations with respect to future performance and anticipated financial impacts of the proposed Business Combination, the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the proposed Business Combination, and the timing of the completion of the proposed Business Combination.

These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Most of these factors are outside Insight’s and Alpha Modus’ control 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 between Insight and Alpha Modus (the “BCA”); (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Insight and Alpha Modus following the announcement of the BCA and the transactions contemplated therein; (3) the inability to complete the proposed Business Combination, including due to failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of Insight and Alpha Modus, certain regulatory approvals, or satisfy other conditions to closing in the BCA; (4) the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the BCA or could otherwise cause the transaction to fail to close; (5) the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on Alpha Modus’ business and/or the ability of the parties to complete the proposed Business Combination; (6) the inability to obtain the listing of the combined company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market following the proposed Business Combination; (7) the risk that the proposed Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the proposed Business Combination; (8) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of Alpha Modus to grow and manage growth profitably, and retain its key employees; (9) costs related to the proposed Business Combination; (10) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (11) the possibility that Insight and Alpha Modus may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (12) risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to Alpha Modus; (13) risks related to the organic and inorganic growth of Alpha Modus’ business and the timing of expected business milestones; (14) the amount of redemption requests made by Insight’s stockholders; and (15) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the Registration Statement relating to the proposed Business Combination, including those enumerated under “Risk Factors” therein, and in Insight’s other filings with the SEC. Insight cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Insight and Alpha Modus caution readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Insight and Alpha Modus do not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in their expectations or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
