As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 10, 2023, Amprius Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of May 9, 2023, by and among the Company, Combine Merger Sub, Inc., Combine Merger Sub, LLC and Amprius, Inc.
On October 21, 2023, the parties to the Merger Agreement entered into a Termination Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the parties agreed to mutually terminate the Merger Agreement, effective immediately. As a result, the Merger Agreement will be of no further force and effect, and the Ancillary Agreements (as defined in the Merger Agreement) will either be terminated in accordance with their terms or be of no further force and effect.
As a result of the termination of the Merger Agreement, the special meeting of the stockholders of the Company, which was to be held on October 24, 2023 for the purpose of voting on the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, will not take place, and the Company intends to withdraw the Registration Statement on Form S-4, which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 26, 2023.
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 2.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 10, 2023 and is incorporated herein by reference.
