General Terms and Effects; Merger Consideration
On February 13, 2023, Relativity Acquisition Corp. ("Relativity") entered into a
Business Combination Agreement (the "Business Combination Agreement") by and
among (i) Relativity, (ii) Relativity Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and
a wholly owned subsidiary of Relativity ("Pubco"), (iii) Relativity Purchaser
Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco
(the "Merger Sub," and the Merger Sub, collectively with Relativity and Pubco,
the "Purchaser Parties"), (iv) SVES GO, LLC, a Florida limited liability
company, SVES LLC, a Florida limited liability company, SVES CP LLC, a Florida
limited liability company and SVES Apparel LLC, a Florida limited liability
company (each, an "Operating Company" and collectively, the "Operating
Companies" or "SVES"), (v) SVGO LLC, ESGO LLC, SV Apparel LLC, and ES Business
Consulting LLC (each, a "Seller" and collectively, the "Sellers"), (vi) Timothy
J. Fullum and Salomon Murciano (each, a "Founder" and collectively, the
"Founders"), (vii) Relativity Acquisition Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company, in the capacity as Relativity Purchaser Representative (the
"Purchaser Representative") and (viii) Timothy J. Fullum, in the capacity as the
Seller Representative (the "Seller Representative"). The transactions
contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are referred to herein as the
"Transaction."
Consideration
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth therein, (a) the Merger Sub will merge with and into
Relativity, with Relativity surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Pubco, and (b) each Seller shall contribute all of its ownership interests in
each Operating Company to Pubco in exchange for aggregate consideration in the
amount of $632,000,000 (the "Contribution Consideration"), to be paid in the
common stock of Pubco valued at $10.00 per share of common stock. At the
Closing, each public warrant of Relativity shall be converted into one Pubco
public warrant and each private warrant of Relativity shall be converted into
one Pubco private warrant, in each case with such Pubco warrant having
substantially the same terms and conditions as set forth in the respective
Relativity warrants, except that in each case they shall represent the right to
acquire shares of Pubco common stock in lieu of shares of Relativity Class A
common stock.
Representations and Warranties
The Business Combination Agreement contains a number of representations and
warranties by each of Relativity, Pubco, Merger Sub and the Sellers. Many of the
representations and warranties are qualified by materiality or Material Adverse
Effect. "Material Adverse Effect" as used in the Business Combination Agreement
means with respect to any specified person, any fact, event, occurrence, change
or effect that has had or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or
in the aggregate, a material adverse effect upon the business, assets,
liabilities, results of operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of such
person or and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or the ability of such person
or any of its subsidiaries on a timely basis to consummate the transactions
contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or the ancillary documents to
which it is a party or bound or to perform its obligations thereunder, in each
case subject to certain customary exceptions. Certain of the representations are
subject to specified exceptions and qualifications contained in the Business
Combination Agreement or in information provided pursuant to certain disclosure
schedules to the Business Combination Agreement. Sellers are required to deliver
disclosure schedules required under the Business Combination Agreement to
Relativity on or prior to February 21, 2023.
1
Survival
The representations and warranties of the parties terminate as of and do not
survive the Closing, and there are no indemnification rights for another party's
breach. The covenants and agreements of the parties shall not survive the
Closing, except those covenants and agreements to be performed after the
Closing, which covenants and agreements shall survive until fully performed.
Covenants of the Parties
Each party agreed in the Business Combination Agreement to use its commercially
reasonable efforts to effect the Closing. The Business Combination Agreement
also contains certain customary covenants by each of the parties during the
period between the signing of the Business Combination Agreement and the earlier
of the Closing or the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in
accordance with its terms (the "Interim Period"), including (1) the provision of
access to their properties, books and personnel; (2) the provision by Sellers of
responses to Purchaser Parties' due diligence requests; (3) provision of the
audited financial statements of the Operating Companies by the Seller
Representative no later than April 7, 2023; (4) Relativity making all required
public filings; (5) no insider trading; (6) notifications of certain breaches,
consent requirements or other matters; (7) efforts to consummate the Closing;
(8) continued listing of Relativity's securities on Nasdaq; (9) public
announcements; (10) confidentiality; (11) further assurances and (12) the
operation of their respective businesses in the ordinary course of business;
provided that in the case of the Operating Companies their only covenant is to
not make any divided or distribution except consistent with past practices and
to enter into related party transactions only on arms' length terms. Each party
also agreed during the Interim Period not to solicit or enter into any written
inquiry, proposal or offer, or any indication of interest in making an offer or
proposal for an alternative competing transactions, to notify the others as
promptly as practicable in writing of the receipt of any inquiries, proposals or
offers, requests for information or requests relating to an alternative
competing transaction or any requests for non-public information relating to
such transaction, and to keep the others informed of the status of any such
inquiries, proposals, offers or requests for information. There are also certain
customary post-Closing covenants regarding (1) tax matters; (2) maintenance of
books and records; (3) indemnification of directors and officers; and (4) use of
trust account proceeds. During the Interim Period, Relativity may, but is not
required to, enter into financing agreements on such terms as Relativity and the
Seller Representative agree (the "Transaction Financing").
The Sellers agreed to use their good faith efforts to respond to the Purchaser
Parties' due diligence requests in a timely manner. Purchaser shall have until
5:00 p.m. on March 15, 2023, to conduct additional due diligence on the Target
Companies to determine whether any facts exist that would result, individually
or in the aggregate, in a reduction of the valuation of the Target Companies by
an amount equal to or greater than five percent (5%) of the Contribution
Consideration (such 5% reduction in valuation, a "Material Reduction") and the
Sellers, prior to 5:00 p.m. on February 21, 2023, shall deliver the disclosure
schedule to Relativity. If, following the procedure described in the Business
Combination Agreement, it is finally determined that there has been a Material
Reduction, Relativity may terminate the Business Combination Agreement. Further,
prior to the Closing, Seller Representative is required to deliver to Relativity
updates to the Company Disclosure Schedules. In the event such updated Company
Disclosure Schedules set forth a fact that arises after the date of the Business
Combination Agreement that results in a Material Reduction, the procedures set
forth in the Business Combination Agreement shall apply to the resolution of any
such issue that may arise.

The Business Combination Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions
requires the approval of Relativity's shareholders. Relativity and Pubco agreed,
as promptly as practicable after the date of the Business Combination Agreement,
to prepare and file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")
a registration statement on Form S-4 (as may be amended, the "Registration
Statement") in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") of the Pubco securities to be issued to
the holders of Relativity securities and the Sellers pursuant to the Business
Combination Agreement, and containing a proxy statement/prospectus for the
purpose of Relativity soliciting proxies from the shareholders of Relativity to
approve the Business Combination Agreement and related matters (the "Relativity
Shareholder Approval") at a special meeting of Relativity's shareholders (the
"Special Meeting"), and providing such shareholders an opportunity to redeem
their shares of Relativity Class A common stock (the "Redemption").
The Sellers have agreed in the Business Combination Agreement to vote their
interests in favor of the Transactions and against any acquisition proposal that
could reasonably be expected to delay or impair the ability of any target
company to consummate the Transactions.
The parties also agreed to take all necessary action, so that, effective at the
Closing, the entire board of directors of Relativity (the "Post-Closing Board")
will consist of five (5) individuals designated by the Seller Representative, a
majority of whom will be independent in accordance with Nasdaq rules.
