IX Acquisition Corp. amends merger agreement terms

IX Acquisition Corp. (OTC Markets Group, Inc.:IXAQF), a $85.6 million market cap company specializing in communication services, has amended its merger agreement with AERKOMM Inc., a Nevada corporation. The modification, announced on Thursday, revises the definitions of "Indebtedness" and "Working Capital" in the agreement. According to InvestingPro data, the company’s stock is currently trading near its 52-week low at $11.02.

According to the updated terms filed on February 21, 2025, "Indebtedness" now encompasses a broader range of financial obligations, including borrowed money, bonds, debentures, purchase agreements, leases classified as capital leases under U.S. GAAP, and any guarantees by the company of another person’s indebtedness. It also covers liabilities related to hedging obligations and any unfunded or underfunded liabilities related to retirement or deferred compensation plans, as well as any earned but unpaid compensation prior to the closing date.

The revised definition of "Working Capital" excludes cash and cash equivalents from current assets and unpaid company transaction expenses from current liabilities. These changes reflect the company’s efforts to clarify financial terms ahead of the merger’s completion.

The merger, initially announced on March 29, 2024, involves IX Acquisition Corp.’s subsidiary, AKOM Merger Sub Inc., and is expected to enhance the company’s capabilities and market position. The amendment is part of the ongoing preparations for the merger, which aims to combine resources and expertise to drive growth and innovation in the communication services sector. InvestingPro analysis reveals that IX Acquisition currently maintains a weak financial health score of 1.21, with short-term obligations exceeding liquid assets - factors that could influence the merger’s execution.

The changes to the merger agreement underscore the importance of precise financial definitions in such significant corporate transactions.
