As previously disclosed, on December 12, 2022, Newbury Street Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware Corporation (the “Purchaser”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among (i) the Purchaser, (ii) Infinite Reality Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Purchaser (“Pubco”), (iii) Infinity Purchaser Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Purchaser Merger Sub”), (iv) Infinity NBIR Company Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Company Merger Sub” and, together with Purchaser Merger Sub, the “Merger Subs,” and the Merger Subs collectively with the Purchaser and Pubco, the “Purchaser Parties”), and (v) Infinite Reality, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Target”).
A copy of a press release issued by the Target, dated September 5, 2024, announcing a five-year partnership between the Target and Google Cloud to provide brands solutions to harness the 3D web and AI to enhance engagement across various sectors, including e-commerce, sports and entertainment, education and customer care.
The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and will not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise be subject to the liabilities of that section, nor will it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or the Exchange Act.
Important Information and Where to Find It
In connection with the proposed business combination, the Purchaser and Pubco, as applicable, plan to file relevant materials with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including a registration statement on Form S-4, which will include a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus and other documents relating to the proposed business combination. After the registration statement is declared effective by the SEC, the Purchaser will mail the definitive proxy statement/final prospectus to holders of shares of Purchaser common stock of a record date to be established in connection with the Purchaser’s solicitation of proxies for vote by Purchaser shareholders with respect to the proposed business combination and other matters as described in the proxy statement/prospectus. Purchaser shareholders and other interested persons are urged to read the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus and the amendments thereto, the definitive proxy statement/final prospectus, and documents incorporated by reference therein, as well as other documents filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed business combination as these materials will contain important information about the proposed business combination. Shareholders will be able to obtain copies of the preliminary and definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other documents containing important information about the Purchaser, the Target and the proposed business combination filed with the SEC once such documents are available on the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov.
Participants in the Solicitation
The Purchaser and the Target and their respective directors, executive officers and employees may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the stockholders of the Purchaser in connection with the proposed transactions under the rules of the SEC. Information about the directors and executive officers of the Purchaser and their ownership of shares of the Purchaser’s common stock is set forth in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the SEC on June 5, 2024, and in subsequent documents filed with the SEC, including the joint proxy statement/prospectus to be filed with the SEC. Additional information regarding the persons who may be deemed participants in the proxy solicitations and a description of their direct and indirect interests in the proposed transactions, by security holdings or otherwise, will also be included in the joint prospectus/proxy statement and other relevant materials to be filed with the SEC when they become available.
No Offer or Solicitation
This communication is for informational purposes only and shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offering of securities in connection with the proposed business combination shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act.

Forward Looking Statements
This communication contains “forward-looking statements,” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements may generally be identified by terminology such as “will,” “shall,” “may,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar words or expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends that are not statements of historical matters. These statements are only predictions. The Purchaser and the Target have based these forward-looking statements largely on their then-current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends as well as the beliefs and assumptions of management. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which involve factors or circumstances that are beyond each of the Purchaser’s and the Target’s control. Actual results could differ materially from those stated or implied in forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including but not limited to: (i) risks associated with the Purchaser’s ability to obtain the shareholder approval required to consummate the proposed transactions and the timing of the closing of the proposed transaction, including the risks that a condition to closing would not be satisfied within the expected timeframe or at all or that the closing of the proposed transactions will not occur; (ii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the parties and others related to the proposed transactions; and (iii) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance or condition that could give rise to the termination of the proposed transactions. We refer you to the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of the Purchaser’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and other filings made with the SEC and that are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. All of the forward-looking statements made in this Current Report on Form 8-K are expressly qualified by the cautionary statements contained or referred to herein. Accordingly, you should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Neither the Purchaser nor the Target can assure you that the events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur, and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements made in this communication relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, the Purchaser and the Target undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of an unanticipated event.
