S&P 500 slips, but losses kept in check as Nvidia climbs ahead of results
Ares Acquisition Corp II (NYSE:AACT) entered into a material definitive agreement on Monday, issuing an unsecured working capital loan promissory note for up to $2 million to its sponsor, Ares Acquisition Holdings II LP. The transaction was disclosed in a press release statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
According to the filing, the loan does not bear interest and is repayable upon the earlier of the company completing its initial business combination or reaching the final date allowed for such a transaction under its governing documents. The maturity date may be accelerated if an event of default occurs. The company may prepay the loan at any time without penalty.
If Ares Acquisition Corp II does not complete a business combination, repayment of the loan will be limited to funds available outside of its trust account from its initial public offering. The company stated it expects to use the proceeds to finance transaction costs related to its proposed business combination with Kodiak Robotics, Inc.
The agreement allows the sponsor to convert the loan, in whole or in part, into warrants of the post-business combination company at a price of $1.00 per warrant. Each warrant would be exercisable for one ordinary share or common stock of the combined company and would have terms identical to private placement warrants previously issued to the sponsor.
A copy of the promissory note was filed as an exhibit to the 8-K. The information in this article is based on a press release statement included in the SEC filing.
