Business Purpose as a Blank Check Company

Wintergreen Acquisition Corp. is described as a blank check company. In its Form 8-K, the company refers to itself as a SPAC and indicates that it was formed to effect a business combination. As a SPAC, it does not describe an operating business of its own in the filing, but instead focuses on entering into a merger or similar transaction with another entity.

Proposed Business Combination with KIKA Technology INC.

In a Form 8-K reporting a material event, Wintergreen Acquisition Corp. states that it entered into a Merger Agreement with Wintergreen Acquisition Merger Subsidiary Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary, and KIKA Technology INC., a Cayman Islands exempted company. Under this Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into KIKA, with KIKA surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Wintergreen Acquisition Corp. The company also discloses that, simultaneously with the closing of the merger, it will change its name to “KIKA Inc.” or another name determined by KIKA, subject to approval by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands.

The Form 8-K explains that the merger is intended to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, and that the Merger Agreement is intended to constitute a plan of reorganization. The closing of the merger is subject to a range of conditions, including shareholder approvals, effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-4, required governmental approvals, and other customary conditions described in the filing.

Share Consideration and Rights

In connection with the proposed merger, the Form 8-K states that shareholders of KIKA Technology INC. will receive ordinary shares of Wintergreen Acquisition Corp. as consideration. These are referred to as Consideration Shares. The number of Consideration Shares is described as being based on the valuation of KIKA divided by the SPAC per share redemption price, as defined in the Merger Agreement, and allocated among KIKA shareholders according to an allocation statement.

The filing also notes that Wintergreen Acquisition Corp. has agreed to provide public shareholders with redemption rights in accordance with its organizational documents and IPO trust agreement. The rights that are part of the listed units entitle the holder to acquire one-eighth (1/8) of one ordinary share, as disclosed in the table of securities registered pursuant to Section 12(b).

Jurisdiction and Corporate Structure

Wintergreen Acquisition Corp. identifies the Cayman Islands as its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization in its Form 8-K. The same filing describes Wintergreen Acquisition Merger Subsidiary Corp. and KIKA Technology INC. as Cayman Islands exempted companies as well. The company’s principal executive offices are described in the filing, and it lists a contact telephone number, but the exact address and phone details are not necessary for understanding the company’s structure and are therefore omitted here.

Key Agreements and Covenants

The Form 8-K outlines several categories of provisions in the Merger Agreement, including representations and warranties, covenants, conditions to closing, termination provisions, and related agreements. The parties agree to operate their businesses in the ordinary course prior to closing and to use commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the transactions, including preparing the registration statement on Form S-4 and proxy materials for the shareholder meeting.

The filing also describes related agreements that involve KIKA shareholders, including a Company Transaction Support Agreement, non-compete and non-solicitation agreements, and lock-up agreements. The lock-up agreement provides for a six-month lock-up period after closing during which certain shareholders are restricted from transferring, selling, or encumbering Consideration Shares, subject to customary exceptions. The non-compete and non-solicitation agreement describes a two-year restricted period after closing, during which specified parties are restricted from engaging in competing businesses within the Company Group’s operating jurisdictions, which are identified as the Cayman Islands, the British Virgin Islands, and Hong Kong.

Conditions and Termination

The Form 8-K states that the merger is subject to conditions that are described as customary for transactions of this type. These include shareholder approvals, effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4, required governmental approvals, absence of legal prohibitions, minimum net tangible assets for the company after closing, and the absence of a material adverse effect on either party, among others.

The Merger Agreement may be terminated in several circumstances, including mutual written consent, failure to close by an outside date (provided the terminating party is not in breach), final non-appealable orders enjoining the merger, and certain material breaches by either party. The filing notes that there are no termination fees, but that parties may remain liable for willful breaches or fraud.
