Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On December 12, 2022, Genesis Growth Tech Acquisition Corp., an exempted company
incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (Nasdaq: GGAA) ("GGAA"),
Genesis Growth Tech LLC, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws
of the Cayman Islands (the "GGAA Sponsor") and Biolog-ID, a société anonyme
organized under the laws of France ("Biolog-id") entered into a Letter Agreement
(the "Letter Agreement"), in connection with the GGAA Sponsor's payment on
behalf of Biolog-id of the Extension Payment (as defined below) to extend the
date by which GGAA and Biolog-id must complete their previously announced
business combination (the "Business Combination") from December 13, 2023 to
March 13, 2023. Under the Letter Agreement, upon closing of the Business
Combination, the Extension Payment (as defined below) plus interest thereon at
an annual percentage rate of 5% from December 9, 2022 shall be, at the GGAA
Sponsor's election: (a) repaid by Biolog-id to the GGAA Sponsor in cash or (b)
converted into an aggregate number of Biolog-id ordinary shares having an
equivalent aggregate value, after giving effect to certain pre-Business
Combination transactions, on a fully-diluted basis and with an assumed Biolog-id
equity value of €186 million, and transferred to the GGAA Sponsor.
The parties have further agreed that, pursuant to the terms of the Business
Combination Agreement, dated as of August 26, 2022 (the "BCA"), by and between
GGAA and Biolog-id, Biolog-id remains obligated to fund the second extension
payment, if necessary. If the Business Combination is not consummated (unless
the Business Combination Agreement is terminated by GGAA as a result of an
intentional breach thereof by Biolog-id), the GGAA Sponsor shall have no right
to the repayment of the Extension Payment (including any interest thereon),
whether in cash or in ordinary shares of Biolog-id.
The foregoing description of the Letter Agreement does not purport to be
complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the
full text of such agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this
Current Report on Form 8-K, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by
reference.
Item 8.01. Other Events
On December 9, 2022, a deposit in the amount of $2,530,000 (the "Extension
Payment") was made by the GGAA Sponsor on behalf of Biolog-id into GGAA's trust
account for purposes of effecting the extension of the date by which GGAA must
consummate a business combination (the "Extension") by three months from
December 13, 2022 to March 13, 2023. The Extension provides GGAA and Biolog-id
additional time to complete the Business Combination in accordance with the BCA.
The Extension is the first of up to two three-month extensions permitted under
GGAA's governing documents.

proceedings that may be instituted against GGAA and Biolog-id following the
announcement of the BCA and the transactions contemplated therein; the inability

closing in the BCA, including the satisfaction of the minimum cash condition

activities; Biolog-id's dependence on key management personnel and executive
officers; supply chain issues and other risks and uncertainties indicated from
time to time in the proxy statement of GGAA and prospectus of Biolog-id relating
