Aimfinity Investment Corp. I, a blank check company, has entered into a backstop agreement with Family Inheritance Consulting (H.K.) Limited, as part of a business combination with Docter Inc. The agreement, dated October 16, 2024, ensures that Aimfinity will maintain a minimum net tangible asset threshold post-merger.
On Monday, Aimfinity disclosed that the backstop agreement would enable the investor to purchase Class A ordinary shares at $10.00 per share, ensuring the company's net tangible assets exceed $5,000,001. This measure counters potential shortfalls due to shareholder redemptions associated with the merger.
In a separate but related financial arrangement, Aimfinity issued a promissory note to I-Fa Chang, a member of the IPO sponsor, on October 21, 2024. The note allows for a loan of up to $1.5 million to support working capital needs. The loan carries no interest and is due upon the business combination's completion or at the company's term end. Additionally, Mr. Chang has the option to convert the note into private units of the company under specific conditions.
These strategic financial moves follow Aimfinity's October 13, 2023, announcement of its merger plans with Docter Inc., involving a reincorporation merger and an acquisition merger. Aimfinity will be renamed as "PubCo" post-merger, with the business combination expected to support the company's growth and operational integration.
