Rhea-AI Filing Summary

FG Merger II Corp. has amended its merger agreement with BOXABL Inc. to revise post-closing lock-up terms for equity holders. The Third Amendment replaces the forms of the Company and Sponsor Lock-Up Agreements. For BOXABL equity holders, 50% of Lock-up Shares can be released six months after the closing date if the Surviving Pubco Common Shares trade at or above $12.00 per share for 20 trading days within any 30-day period, with the remaining shares released 13 months after closing. The company lock-up also ends early if the trading price reaches $20.00 per share, including intra-day. For the sponsor, 50% of Lock-up Shares are released on the earlier of 12 months after closing or when the Surviving Pubco’s Common Shares close at or above $12.00 per share for 20 out of 30 trading days, with the remaining 50% released 12 months after closing, and full early release if the Acquiror Common Stock trades at or above $20.00 per share. The amendment is filed as an exhibit to the report.

Insights

FGMC and BOXABL revised lock-up triggers around price and time milestones.

The amendment to the merger agreement focuses on how and when insiders and BOXABL equity holders can sell their shares after closing. Both company and sponsor Lock-Up Agreements now blend time-based releases with stock price performance thresholds at $12.00 and $20.00 per share.

For BOXABL holders, half of the Lock-up Shares may come free after six months if the Surviving Pubco Common Shares meet the $12.00 test for 20 out of 30 trading days, with the rest released at 13 months. For the sponsor, half is releasable by 12 months post-closing or earlier upon the same $12.00 trading condition, and the balance at 12 months, with full acceleration at $20.00.

These structures tie liquidity for major holders to both the passage of time and trading performance, which can influence post-merger float dynamics and alignment but the ultimate impact depends on future trading levels and the timing of the business combination closing.

Item 1.01 Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Third Amendment to the Merger Agreement

 

On May 6, 2026, FG Merger II Corp. (“FGMC”), entered into a Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 4, 2025, as amended by the First Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated November 3, 2025, as amended by the Second Amendment dated April 6, 2026 (collectively, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among FGMC, BOXABL Inc. (“BOXABL”) and FG Merger Sub II Inc. (“Merger Sub” and together with BOXABL and FGMC, the “Parties”). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Merger Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the Amendment, the Parties to the Merger Agreement agreed:

 

(A) to delete and replace in its entirety the form of Company Lock-Up Agreement attached to the Merger Agreement as Exhibit A-1 with a revised form of Company Lock-Up Agreement. The revised Company Lock-Up Agreement provides for a lock-up period commencing on the Closing Date under which (i) 50% of the Lock-up Shares shall be released on the date that is six (6) months from the Closing Date, provided the price per share of the Surviving Pubco Common Shares meets or exceeds $12.00 per share for any twenty (20) trading days within any thirty (30) trading day period, and (ii) any remaining Lock-up Shares shall be released on the date that is thirteen (13) months from the Closing Date, irrespective of share price. The lock-up period terminates early if the trading price per share of the Surviving Pubco Common Shares meets or exceeds $20.00 per share, including during intra-day trading; and
   
(B) to delete and replace in its entirety the form of Sponsor Lock-Up Agreement attached to the Merger Agreement as Exhibit A-2 with a revised form of Sponsor Lock-Up Agreement. The revised Sponsor Lock-Up Agreement provides for a lock-up period under which (i) 50% of the Lock-up Shares are released on the earlier of twelve (12) months following the Closing Date or the date on which the closing price of the Surviving Pubco’s Common Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share for any twenty (20) trading days within any thirty (30) trading day period, and (ii) the remaining 50% of the Lock-up Shares are released twelve (12) months following the Closing Date. Early release of all remaining Lock-up Shares occurs if the Acquiror Common Stock trades at or above $20.00 per share, including during intra-day trading. The Sponsor Lock-Up Agreement amends and restates the Insider Letter (dated January 28, 2025) in its entirety.

 

The foregoing summary of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

FAQ

What did FGMC (FGMC) change in its merger agreement with BOXABL?

FGMC signed a Third Amendment to its merger agreement with BOXABL, replacing the Company and Sponsor Lock-Up Agreements. The new terms redefine when BOXABL equity holders and the SPAC sponsor can sell shares after closing, using specific time periods and trading price thresholds.

How do the new lock-up terms affect BOXABL equity holders in the FGMC deal?

For BOXABL equity holders, 50% of Lock-up Shares may be released six months after closing if the Surviving Pubco Common Shares trade at or above $12.00 for 20 days in a 30-day period. Remaining shares are released 13 months after closing, with full early release if shares hit $20.00.
