KEY TRANSACTION TERMS
- Pursuant to the terms of the business combination agreement: (i) a newly-organized, wholly-owned subsidiary of Newsight will merge into VSAC resulting in VSAC becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newsight, (ii) Newsight will register as a publicly traded company and parent of VSAC, (iii) Newsight’s existing shares will be split to facilitate a fully diluted value per Newsight share of US$10, and (iv) VSAC’s common stock and warrants to purchase VSAC common stock will be exchanged on a one-for-one basis for Newsight Ordinary Shares and warrants to purchase Newsight Ordinary Shares, respectively.

- In addition to the $102.5 million held in VSAC’s trust account (assuming no redemptions by VSAC’s shareholders), proceeds to the Combined Company in the proposed Business Combination for VSAC and Newsight would potentially include up to US$40 million in pre-transaction financing, a PIPE, or other alternatives. The final amount of any pre-transaction financing, or financing in connection with the proposed business combination, if any, to be raised is by mutual agreement and dependent on market conditions, and related terms, if any, have not been finalized.

Net proceeds to the Combined Company are expected to be approximately $140.2 million after transaction-related expenses of approximately US$3.5 million (not including fees payable to the underwriter in VSAC’s IPO as deferred compensation). Use of net proceeds, among other things, are expected to fund research and development, for organic growth and expansion, and for working capital.
- Assuming no redemptions by VSAC’s shareholders, it is estimated that the current shareholders of Newsight will own approximately 53% of the issued and outstanding shares in the Combined Company at closing.
- As part of the transaction, Newsight’s current management and existing equity holders will roll a minimum of 95% of their equity into the Combined Company.
