Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Shareholder Joinder Agreements
As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on April 25, 2022, XPAC
Acquisition Corp., an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the
laws of the Cayman Islands ("XPAC") entered into a Business Combination
Agreement on April 25, 2022 (the "Business Combination Agreement") with (i)
SUPERBAC PubCo Holdings Inc., an exempted company limited by shares incorporated
under the laws of the Cayman Islands ("PubCo"), (ii) BAC1 Holdings Inc., an
exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman
Islands and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo ("Merger Sub 1"), (iii)
BAC2 Holdings Inc., an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the
laws of the Cayman Islands and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo
("Merger Sub 2"), and (iv) SuperBac Biotechnology Solutions S.A., a corporation
incorporated under the laws of Brazil ("SuperBac"), pursuant to which XPAC
agreed to combine with SuperBac in a series of transactions that would result in
PubCo becoming a publicly traded company and listed on the Nasdaq, with PubCo
indirectly owning no less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the equity interests
in SuperBac (on a fully-diluted basis).
Lock-up Joinder Agreement
As contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, and as previously
disclosed in XPAC's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 25,
2022, certain SuperBac shareholders entered into a lock-up agreement on April
25, 2022 (the "Lock-up Agreement").
On May 26, 2022, one additional SuperBac shareholder holding approximately 0.4%
of the outstanding share capital of SuperBac entered into a joinder agreement
(the "Lock-up Joinder Agreement") with XPAC, by which such SuperBac shareholder
agreed to be bound by the provisions of the Lock-Up Agreement applicable to an
Equity Holder (as defined in the Lock-up Agreement), which would subject such
SuperBac shareholder to a lock-up period of six months from closing of the
business combination. The form of Lock-up Joinder Agreement is filed as Exhibit
10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and the foregoing description of the
Lock-up Joinder Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.
Investment Agreement Joinder
As contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, and as previously
contemplated in XPAC's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April
25, 2022, SuperBac and certain SuperBac shareholders entered into an investment
agreement on April 26, 2022 (the "Investment Agreement"), pursuant to which,
among other things, (i) all such shareholders of SuperBac other than the Founder
have agreed to, directly or indirectly, contribute their SuperBac shares into an
exempted company incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands to be
formed by SuperBac ("Newco") in exchange for newly issued Class A ordinary
shares of Newco, and (ii) the Founder has agreed to, directly or indirectly,
contribute his SuperBac shares into Newco in exchange for newly issued Class B
ordinary shares of Newco, in each case, as and to the extent contemplated by the
Investment Agreement
On May 26, 2022, one additional SuperBac shareholder holding approximately 0.4%
of the outstanding share capital of SuperBac entered into a joinder agreement
(the "Investment Agreement Joinder") with SuperBac, and XPAC, by which such
SuperBac shareholder agreed to become a party, to be bound by, and to comply
with the Investment Agreement as an Equity Holder in the same manner as if he
was an original signatory to the Investment Agreement. The form of Investment
Agreement Joinder is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K
and the foregoing description of the Investment Agreement Joinder is qualified
in its entirety by reference thereto.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, is furnished and
shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to
liabilities under that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by
reference into the filing of XPAC under Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or
under the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such
filings.
SuperBac is required by applicable law to file the minutes of the SuperBac May
2022 General Meeting (as defined below) with the Board of Trade of the State of
São Paulo (the "Board of Trade"). In due course, the Board of Trade is expected
to publish the minutes of the SuperBac May 2020 General Meeting in the original
Portuguese language, and an English translation of such minutes is furnished as
Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
Consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination
Agreement (the "Transactions") is subject to customary closing conditions. One
of such conditions was satisfied on May 12, 2022, when SuperBac held an
extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the "SuperBac May 2022 General
Meeting"), in which SuperBac's shareholders voted on the following proposals,
each of which was unanimously approved: (i) the adoption of the Business
Combination Agreement, of other Transaction documents to which SuperBac is a
party and the consummation of the Transactions contemplated by the Business
Combination Agreement, and (ii) the execution, by SuperBac, of amendments to
certain stock option agreements previously approved by SuperBac's board of
directors on August 25, 2021.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Business Combination Agreement also contains
other closing conditions, including the approval of other matters by the
shareholders of SuperBac, which remain to be satisfied in due course.
Additional Information about the Proposed Business Combination and Where to Find
It
The proposed business combination will be submitted to the shareholders of XPAC
for their consideration. It is expected that PubCo will file a registration
statement on Form F-4 (the "Registration Statement") with the SEC within two
months from the date of the Business Combination Agreement. The Registration
Statement will include preliminary and definitive proxy statements to be
distributed to XPAC's shareholders in connection with XPAC's solicitation for
proxies for the vote by XPAC's shareholders in connection with the proposed
business combination and other matters as described in the Registration
Statement, as well as the prospectus relating to the offer of the securities to
be issued in connection with the completion of the proposed business
combination. After the Registration Statement has been filed and declared
effective, XPAC will mail a definitive proxy statement and other relevant
documents to its shareholders as of the record date established for voting on
the proposed business combination. XPAC's shareholders and other interested
persons are advised to read, once available, the preliminary proxy statement /
prospectus and any amendments thereto and, once available, the definitive proxy
statement / prospectus, and documents incorporated by reference therein filed in
connection with XPAC's solicitation of proxies for its special meeting of
shareholders to be held to approve, among other things, the proposed business
combination, because these documents will contain important information about
XPAC, SuperBac and PubCo and the proposed business combination. Shareholders may
also obtain a copy of the preliminary or definitive proxy statement, once
available, as well as other documents filed with the SEC regarding the proposed
business combination and other documents filed with the SEC by XPAC, without
charge, at the SEC's website located at www.sec.gov or by written request sent
to 55 West 46th Street, 30th Floor, New York, NY 10036.

Forward-Looking Statements

Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as
"estimate," "plan," "project," "forecast," "intend," "will," "expect,"
"anticipate," "believe," "seek," "target", "may", "predict", "should", "would",
"potential", "seem", "future", "outlook" or other similar expressions (or

business combination, including the Minimum Cash Condition. These statements are
based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this communication,
and on the current expectations of XPAC's, SuperBac's and PubCo's management and
are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are
provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and

was filed with the SEC on March 30, 2021, in each case, under the heading "Risk
Factors," and other documents that XPAC has filed, or will file, with the SEC.
If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual
results could differ materially from the results implied by these
forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that XPAC, SuperBac

currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ
from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition,
forward-looking statements reflect XPAC's, SuperBac's, and PubCo's expectations,
plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this
communication. XPAC, SuperBac, and PubCo anticipate that subsequent events and

However, while XPAC, SuperBac and PubCo may elect to update these
forward-looking statements at some point in the future, XPAC, SuperBac and PubCo
specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements
should not be relied upon as representing XPAC's, SuperBac's or PubCo's
assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this communication.
Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking
statements.
