VT5 Acquisition Company AG / Key word(s): Miscellaneous VT5 Acquisition Company AG : VT5 informs about uncertainties in VERAISON Capital’s soft sponsor commitments 05-Jun-2023 / 07:00 CET/CEST Release of an ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 LR The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. Adhoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 LR 5 June 2023 VT5 informs about uncertainties in VERAISON Capital’s soft sponsor commitments The Board of Directors of VT5 Acquisition Company AG (“VT5”) has been informed by its sponsor VERAISON Capital Ltd (“VERAISON Capital”) that there is uncertainty regarding its soft commitments. VERAISON Capital is engaged as sponsor of VT5 through the SICAV Engagement Fund, acting as initiator and sponsor of the Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) VT5. The expectations of public shareholders in the sponsor and the sponsor's soft commitments are that the sponsor will not redeem its investor shares at the time of a potential business combination (De-SPAC). Moreover, there was a soft commitment of VT5's sponsor at the time of the fund raising in the Initial Public Offering of 15 December 2021 that an additional CHF 5 million “PIPE” (Private Investment in Public Equity) funding would be made available in case that a De-SPAC transaction requires additional capital. Given latest information received from VERAISON Capital, both soft commitments became uncertain. The Board of Directors of VT5 (“BoD”) is in the process of reviewing this new situation. As a consequence, VT5 is obliged to review the status of the currently ongoing negotiations with potential merger companies (De-SPAC) and to put some on hold until the full soft commitments of the sponsor can be re-assured or the situation can otherwise be solved. The Board of Directors of VT5 is evaluating possible options and will provide further information in a timely manner. The BoD is fully aware of all obligations towards all of its share- and stakeholders and would like to thank all anchor, cornerstone and public shareholders for their continued support VT5 plans to publish next information at the latest as part of the Half-year 2022/2023 report on 29 June 2023.   Reporting Calendar 2023 Half-year 2022/2023 results: 29 June 2023   Contact VT5 Acquisition Company AG Communications & Investor Relations Doris Rudischhauser Phone: [phone] Email: [e-mail]   About VT5 VT5 is a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), a vehicle to directly or indirectly acquire one or (if at the same time) more operating companies or businesses in order to take them public and provide dedicated support.
