Item
1.01 Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.
Business
Combination Agreement
On
May 29, 2026, SPACSphere Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“SPACSphere”), entered into a Business
Combination Agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”)
by and among SPACSphere, SPACSphere Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct wholly owned subsidiary of SPACSphere (“Merger Sub”),
and Mobilewalla Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Mobilewalla”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Mobilewalla, whereupon the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease
and Mobilewalla will be the surviving company and continue in existence as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of SPACSphere, on the terms
and subject to the conditions set forth therein.
The Business Combination
Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby to occur at or immediately prior to the Closing (“Transactions”), were
approved by the respective boards of directors of SPACSphere and Mobilewalla.
The
Domestication
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement,
prior to the consummation of the Merger (as defined below) (the “Closing”), and subject to the approval of the shareholders
of SPACSphere, (i) each then issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of SPACSphere (a “SPACSphere
Class B ordinary share”) outstanding will be converted into one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of SPACSphere
(a “SPACSphere Class A ordinary share”) in accordance with the Articles of Association of SPACSphere (the “Class B conversion”),
and, (ii) following the Class B conversion, SPACSphere will domesticate as a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”) in
accordance with Section 388 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and Part XII of the Companies Act (2023 Revision) of the Cayman Islands,
as amended.
In connection with the Domestication, (i) each
SPACSphere Class A ordinary share outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Domestication and following the Class B conversion
shall be converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of SPACSphere (the “New SPACSphere Common Stock”),
(ii) each then-issued and outstanding whole warrant exercisable for one SPACSphere Class A ordinary share will be converted into a warrant
exercisable for one share of New SPACSphere Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share on the terms and conditions set forth
in the Warrant Agreement, dated as of February 5, 2026, by and between SPACSphere and Odyssey Transfer and Trust Company, as warrant agent
(as amended or amended and restated from time to time) (each, a “New SPACSphere Warrant”), and (iii) each then-issued and
outstanding right entitling the holder thereof to 1/5 of one SPACSphere Class A ordinary share (each, a “SPACSphere Right”)
shall convert automatically into a right to receive 1/5 of one share of New SPACSphere Common Stock at the Closing, pursuant to the Rights
Agreement, dated as of February 5, 2026, by and between SPACSphere and Odyssey Transfer and Trust Company, as rights agent. In connection
with clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph, each issued and outstanding unit of SPACSphere that has not been previously separated
into the underlying SPACSphere Class A ordinary share, SPACSphere warrant and SPACSphere right will be canceled and will entitle the holder
thereof to one share of New SPACSphere Common Stock, one-half of one New SPACSphere Warrant, and a right to receive 1/5 of one share of
New SPACSphere Common Stock at the Closing.
The
Business Combination
The Business
Combination Agreement provides for, among other things, the following Transactions: (i) the Domestication, and (ii) the merger of
Merger Sub with and into Mobilewalla (the “Merger”), with Mobilewalla being the surviving company of the Merger
(Mobilewalla, in its capacity as the surviving company of the Merger, the “Surviving Company”), and as a result of which
the Surviving Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of SPACSphere. In connection with the Domestication and the consummation
of the Business Combination, SPACSphere will change its name to “COVARIATE, INC.” (“New Mobilewalla”) The
Domestication, the Merger and the other Transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are hereinafter referred to
as the “Business Combination.”
Among other things, at the effective time of the
Merger (the “Effective Time”), (A) the outstanding shares of common stock of Mobilewalla, par value $0.0001 per share (“Mobilewalla
Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, and following the conversion or exercise of the outstanding
convertible notes, preferred stock, stock options and warrants of Mobilewalla (but excluding any (i) shares of Mobilewalla Common Stock
held by Mobilewalla as treasury stock which will be canceled without conversion, and (ii) shares the holders of which perfect rights of
appraisal under Delaware law) will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive a number of shares of New SPACSphere Common Stock
(rounded up to the nearest whole share) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) 25,000,000 by (b) the Company Fully Diluted Capital
Stock (the “Exchange Ratio”), and (B) each Mobilewalla stock option that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately
prior to the Effective Time will be converted into an option to purchase shares of New SPACSphere Common Stock (“Exchanged Options”)
as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement.
“Company Fully Diluted Capital Stock”
means, without duplication, the sum of the number of shares of Mobilewalla Common Stock that are (a) issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time (following the conversion or exercise of the outstanding convertible notes, preferred stock and warrants of
Mobilewalla but excluding any treasury stock to be cancelled) and (b) issuable upon exercise of all vested and unvested Mobilewalla options
as of immediately prior to the Effective Time but, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any unissued Mobilewalla options.

The
Business Combination Agreement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions, including, among others,
(i) approval of the Business Combination and related agreements and transactions by the respective shareholders of SPACSphere and Mobilewalla,

all material respects, (iii) Mobilewalla shall have received customary closing certificates from SPACSphere; (iv) SPACSphere and

Forward-Looking
Statements Legend
This Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, that are based on beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to SPACSphere and Mobilewalla. In some cases,
you can identify forward-looking statements by the following words: “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,”
“should,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,”
“estimate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “continue,” “ongoing,”
“target,” “seek” or the negative or plural of these words, or other similar expressions that are predictions or
indicate future events or prospects, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. Forward-looking statements are predictions,
projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject
to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in
this document, including but not limited to: (i) the risk that the Business Combination may not be completed in a timely manner or at
all, which may adversely affect the price of SPACSphere’s securities; (ii) the risk that the Business Combination may not be completed
by SPACSphere’s business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline
if sought by SPACSphere; (iii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination, including the approval
of the Business Combination by the respective shareholders of SPACSphere and Mobilewalla; (iv) the failure to obtain financing to complete
the Business Combination and to support the future working capital needs of Mobilewalla and the combined company; (v) the effect of the
announcement or pendency of the Business Combination on Mobilewalla’s business relationships, performance, and business generally;
(vi) risks that the Business Combination disrupts current plans of Mobilewalla and potential difficulties in the retention of Mobilewalla
employees as a result of the Business Combination; (vii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against SPACSphere
or Mobilewalla related to the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination; (viii) changes to the proposed structure of
the Business Combination that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations or as a condition to obtaining
regulatory approval of the Business Combination; (ix) the ability to maintain the listing of SPACSphere’s securities on Nasdaq;
(x) the price of SPACSphere’s securities, including volatility resulting from changes in the competitive and highly regulated industries
in which Mobilewalla operates, variations in performance across competitors, changes in laws and regulations affecting Mobilewalla’s
business and changes in the combined capital structure; (xi) the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations
after the completion of the Business Combination, and the ability to identify and realize additional opportunities; (xii) the enforceability of Mobilewalla’s intellectual
property, and the potential infringement on the intellectual property rights of others, cyber security risks or potential breaches of
data security; (xiii) the risk that Mobilewalla may never achieve or sustain profitability; (xiv) changes in the competitive and regulated
industries in which Mobilewalla operates, variations in operating performance across competitors, changes in laws and regulations affecting
Mobilewalla’s business and changes in the combined capital structure, and (xv) other risks and uncertainties set forth in the section
entitled “Risk Factors” and “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in SPACSphere’s Annual Reports
on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K that are available on the website of the SEC at www.sec.gov
and other documents filed, or to be filed with the SEC by SPACSphere, including the Registration Statement. The foregoing list of factors
is not exhaustive. There may be additional risks that neither SPACSphere nor Mobilewalla presently know or that SPACSphere nor Mobilewalla
currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements.
You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties that will be described in the definitive proxy
statement to be filed by SPACSphere with the SEC, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and other documents filed
by SPACSphere from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak
only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and SPACSphere and Mobilewalla
assume no obligation and, except as required by law, do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a
result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Neither SPACSphere nor Mobilewalla gives any assurance that either SPACSphere
or Mobilewalla will achieve its expectations.

ATLANTA, Georgia and GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Islands - Mobilewalla, a leading provider of data and vertical agentic AI solutions, and SPACSphere Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: SSAC), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company, today announced they have entered into a definitive business combination agreement through which Mobilewalla will become a publicly listed company.
Mobilewalla was founded in 2012 by Dr. Anindya Datta. Since its founding, Mobilewalla has been focused on building a proprietary, exabyte-scale, research grade consumer data platform which provides high quality, privacy compliant data that is optimized to power vertical agentic AI solutions across multiple consumer facing industries.
“I am excited to partner with Bala and his team to help accelerate Mobilwalla’s proven vertical AI solutions across our current consumer facing markets, with an opportunity to accelerate our entrance into new markets, all of which we anticipate will benefit greatly from our approach,” said Dr. Anindya Datta, CEO of Mobilewalla. “We believe vertical agentic AI is the next frontier in the evolution of AI and solves industry challenges that horizontal AI cannot support.”
The company currently offers three vertical-specific products as part of their platform that drives actionable results across telecom, financial services and the marketing and advertising sectors. Mobilewalla’s current platform has been utilized globally by clients within its core verticals, and the company sees an opportunity to target a TAM of over $115 billion with a repeatable playbook into adjacent vertical markets.
Mobilewalla Data Platform includes:
| |
● |
Feature Mart — a curated library of hundreds of pre-built, privacy-compliant data features and attributes engineered from Mobilewalla’s global data assets and designed to improve the accuracy and convergence speed of predictive models used in customer analytics, risk scoring, and churn prediction. |
| |
● |
Data Enrichment — an enterprise service that augments first-party data sets with additional consumer attributes such as behavioral trends, device-level information, and demographic signals enabling organizations to build a more complete view of their customers while maintaining compliance with applicable data-protection regulations. |
| |
● |
Audience Segments — pre-packaged or custom audience groups derived from thousands of behavioral and demographic attributes. These segments support digital marketing, personalization, and audience-targeting initiatives across advertising and communications platforms. |
Vertical AI Solutions
| |
● |
Market Flow (Telecommunications) — a competitive-intelligence and analytics suite for broadband and telecom providers. Market Flow helps operators measure market share shifts, assess customer churn and acquisition dynamics, and benchmark network performance relative to peers. |
| |
● |
Telescope (Telecommunications) – an agentic AI solution integrating data from multiple sources and employing an agentic framework to cost effectively and efficiently deliver mission critical insights by incorporating data from a variety of sources, core AI techniques and an understanding of industry nuances. Telescope combines Mobilewalla’s proprietary data with natural-language access and autonomous agents, allowing telecom clients to ask highly specific competitive and operational questions that generic AI tools cannot answer |
| |
● |
LendBetter (Emerging Market Financial Services & Fintech) — a data and analytics product tailored for lenders, enabling credit-risk modeling, identification of “new-to-credit” customers, fraud prevention, and portfolio optimization. |
“We feel fortunate to partner with Anindya and the Mobilewalla team at this stage in Mobilewalla’s development, as they seek to expand into their large market opportunity for vertical agentic AI solutions that leverage their proprietary consumer data set,” said Bala Padmakumar, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of SPACSphere Acquisition Corp. “We believe that the team is well positioned to deliver long term value for shareholders.”
