项目8.01 其他事件。
2024年8月27日,特温维动力猫公司(下称“特温维”),一家特拉华州公司向美国证券交易委员会(“SEC”)提交了一份S-4表格的注册声明,其中包括特温维和Forza X1, Inc.(一家特拉华州公司)的初步联合委托说明书以及特温维的初步招股书,涉及特温维拟议的与Forza的合并等事宜。特温维随后于2024年10月11日提交了一份有关合并等事宜的最终联合委托说明书/招股书(“联合委托说明书/招股书”),已将联合委托说明书/招股书寄给特温维和Forza的股东。
2024年11月3日,Twin Vee收到了一封来自一个声称是Twin Vee股东的法律顾问的信,涉及合并代理声明/招股说明书。在与这位声称是Twin Vee股东的法律顾问讨论中,法律顾问表示其客户相信合并代理声明/招股说明书省略了关于并购的实质信息,并要求Twin Vee就Houlihan Capital公司(“Houlihan Capital”)在支持其关于由Twin Vee支付的交易比率对于Twin Vee股东的公允性的财务观点意见所进行的资产评估进行额外和补充披露。
Twin Vee认为代理人提出的对所谓股东的主张完全没有根据,并且适用法规、条例或法律要求的进一步披露已经包含在联合代理声明/招股说明书中。但是,为了避免和防止有关联合代理声明/招股说明书中披露的内容是否充分可能延误或以其他方式对并购批准造成不利影响的潜在诉讼所引起的费用和干扰,Twin Vee已决定自愿对与下文所述的并购提案相关的联合代理声明/招股说明书进行某些补充披露(“补充披露”)。本当前8-K表格中的任何内容都不得被视为是对本文所述补充披露根据适用法律的法律必要性或重要性的承认。相反,Twin Vee明确否认任何额外披露是必要的。
补充披露加入代理声明书/招股说明书
补充披露应与联合代理声明/招股书一并阅读,在SEC网站www.sec.gov免费提供。下面的页码参考是指联合代理声明/招股书中的页码,本处未定义的大写术语的含义则参照联合代理声明/招股书中的规定。在补充披露中的信息与联合代理声明/招股书中含的信息有异同或冲突时,补充披露中的信息应视为取代联合代理声明/招股书中的相应信息。
第87-88页的联合代理声明/招股书披露在此得到补充,通过修改和重述该部分 “市场法” 如下:
市场法
在确定福尔扎的价值时,采用了以下方法:
● | 市场方法应用交易价格和30天VWAP |
现货价格
Forza截至2024年7月31日收盘价为每股0.3102美元。将交易价格乘以15,754,774股流通普通股,得到约490万美元的股权价值。
-1-
成交量加权平均价
Houlihan利用30天VWAP作为Forza股权价值的指标。VWAP是通过Forza的30个交易日的开盘价、最高价、最低价和收盘价的成交量加权平均价格来计算的。将VWAP乘以15,754,774股的普通股,得出约600万美元的股权估值。

2 截至7月31日的普通股流通量 2024.
Based on the analyses described above, Houlihan Capital calculated an indicated equity value range for Forza between $4.9 million and $6.0 million.
Houlihan Capital does believe that this valuation methodology produced a range of indicated values for the equity of Forza that supports its overall conclusion within the broader context of its entire analysis and should be considered in conjunction with the results of the other valuation methodologies that Houlihan Capital applied. Houlihan Capital calculated a range of indicated fair market values for Forza. A summary of the results of Houlihan Capital’s analysis is as follows:
Indicated Fair Market Value of Equity Range (millions) | ||||||
Low | High | |||||
$ | 4.9 | $ | 6.0 |
To conclude on a range of Equity Values as indicated by Houlihan Capital’s analyses, Houlihan Capital applied a 100% weighting to the Market Approach
To determine the exchange ratios for the Merger, Houlihan Capital subtracted the indicated value of Twin Vee’s forfeited shares from Forza’s total indicated equity value to determine Forza’s indicated equity value following the forfeiture of shares. Forza’s indicated equity value following the forfeiture was then divided by Twin Vee’s share price as of July 31, 2024, to determine the number of Twin Vee shares to be issued to the remaining Forza shareholders following the forfeiture. Lastly, the number of shares to be issued to Forza shareholders, following the forfeiture, was then divided by the total number of Forza shares outstanding, excluding Twin Vee’s forfeited shares in Forza, to determine the indicated exchange ratios.

Based on the foregoing, Houlihan Capital calculated an exchange ratio range for the Merger between approximately 0.5492 and 0.6705. Because the agreed upon exchange ratio per the Merger Agreement falls within the range, Houlihan Capital concluded that the Merger is fair from a financial point of view to Twin Vee and its shareholders.
Indicated Exchange Ratio | ||||||
Low | High | |||||
0.5492 | 0.6705 |
Valuation of the Warrants and Options
Houlihan Capital utilized the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair market values of Forza’s warrants and options as of the Date of Value. The options and warrants carry little value. According to the terms of the Merger, the convertible securities will convert to Twin Vee options and warrants at the Exchange Ratio. Given (1) the negligible value of the convertible securities determined in our analysis and (2) how far the current stock prices are from the respective strike prices of the instruments, the determination of the fairness of the Transaction was not materially impacted by the presence of these instruments.
Black-Scholes Model – Warrants at $6.25
Houlihan Capital performed a Black-Scholes analysis for the Warrants with a $6.25 strike price based on their terms, using the following assumptions:
● | Time to Expiration: 3.044 years, based on the contractual expiration date. |
● | Spot Price: the price per share calculated by Houlihan Capital. |
● | Strike Price: $6.25, the contractual strike price. |
● | Risk-Free Rate: 4.44%, based on the yield of the U.S. Treasury note matching the time to expiration as of the Date of Value. |
● | Expected Dividend Payout Ratio: 0%, based on the expected dividend payout ratio for the Target. |
● | Volatility: 40%, based on the volatility of the Target. |
