Business Combination

Current report

On September 13, 2024 Plum Acquisition Corp. I. (“Plum”) (NASDAQ: PLMI), a special purpose acquisition company, Legacy Veea consummated its previously announced Business Combination. In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Closing”) (i) Plum de-registered from the Register of Companies in the Cayman Islands by way of continuation out of the Cayman Islands and into the State of Delaware, migrating to and domesticating as a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”), and (ii) the merger (the “Merger”) of Plum Merger Sub with and into the Legacy Veea was completed and the separate corporate existence of Plum Merger Sub ceased, with Legacy Veea as the surviving corporation becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Plum. Following the Closing, Plum changed its name from “Plum Acquisition Corp. I” to “Veea Inc.” and Legacy Veea changed its name from “Veea Inc.” to “VeeaSystems Inc.”

Current report

The Business Combination was accounted for as a “reverse recapitalization,” with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with GAAP. A reverse recapitalization did not result in a new basis of accounting, and the financial statements of the combined entity represent the continuation of the financial statements of Legacy Veea in many respects.

Current report

Under this method of accounting, Plum was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. For accounting purposes, Legacy Veea was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction and, consequently, the transaction was treated as a recapitalization of Legacy Veea (i.e., a capital transaction involving the issuance of stock by Plum for the stock of Legacy Veea). Accordingly, the consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations of Legacy Veea became the historical financial statements of the combined company, and Plum’s assets, liabilities and results of operations were consolidated with the Company’s beginning on the acquisition date. Operations prior to the Business Combination were presented as those of Legacy Veea in future reports. The net assets of Legacy Veea were recognized at carrying value, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

Current report

Private Placements

Current report

Simultaneously with the closing of the Business Combination, the Company and Private Veea issued convertible notes under note purchase agreements (the “Note Purchase Agreements”) with certain accredited investors unaffiliated with Plum and Legacy Veea (each, an “Investor”) for the sale of unsecured subordinated convertible promissory notes (the “September 2024 Notes”) as part of a private placement offering of up to $15 million in purchase price for such September 2024 Notes in the aggregate (the “Financing Closing”). The Company received $1.45 million in proceeds from the issuance of its convertible promissory note with a commitment from a convertible note purchaser for the remaining unfunded amount of $13.55, which is to be funded on or prior to November 15, 2024, subsequently extended to December 15, 2024. In addition to a September 2024 Note, each Investor received as a transfer from NLabs immediately prior to the Financing Closing a number of shares of Legacy Veea Series A-1 Preferred Stock that upon the Closing became a number of registered shares of Common Stock equal to such Investors’ loan amount under their respective notes divided by $7.50 (the “Transferred Shares”).

Current report

The Company and Private Veea are co-borrowers under each September 2024 Note (together, the “Borrowers”) and are jointly responsible for the obligations to each Investor thereunder. Each September 2024 Note has a maturity date of 18 months after the Financing Closing but is prepayable in whole or in part by the Borrowers at any time without penalty. The outstanding obligations under each September 2024 Note accrues interest at a rate equal to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus 2% per annum, adjusted quarterly, but interest is only payable upon the maturity date of the September 2024 Note as long as there is no event of default thereunder. Each September 2024 Note is unsecured and expressly subordinated to any senior debt of the Borrowers. The September 2024 Notes and the Note Purchase Agreements do not include any operational or financial covenants for the Borrowers. Each September 2024 Note includes customary events of default for failure to pay amounts due on the maturity date, for failure to otherwise comply with the Borrowers’ covenants thereunder or for Borrower insolvency events, in each case, with customary cure periods, and upon an event of default, the Investor may accelerate all obligations under its September 2024 Note and the Borrowers will be required to pay for the Investor’s reasonable out-of-pocket collection costs.

Current report

The outstanding obligations under each September 2024 Note are convertible in whole or in part into shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) at a conversion price of $7.50 per share (subject to equitable adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and the like with respect to the Common Stock after the Financing Closing) (the “Conversion Price”) at any time after the Financing Closing at the sole election of the Investor. The outstanding obligations under each September 2024 Note will automatically convert at the Conversion Price if (i) the Company or its subsidiaries consummate one or more additional financings for equity or equity-linked securities for at least $20 million in the aggregate or makes one or more significant acquisitions valued in the aggregate (based on the consideration provided by the Company and its subsidiaries) to be at least $20 million, (ii) the Investors holding a majority of the aggregate outstanding obligations under the September 2024 Notes expressly agree to convert all obligations under the September 2024 Notes or (iii) the Common Stock trades with an average daily VWAP of at least $10.00 (subject to equitable adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and the like with respect to the Common Stock after the Financing Closing) for ten (10) consecutive trading days. The obligations under each September 2024 Note will also automatically convert in connection with a Brokerage Transfer, as described below.

Current report

The September 2024 Notes and the Conversion Shares are subject to a lock-up for a period of 6 months after the Financing Closing (subject to early release for a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their equity holdings in the Company for cash, securities or other property, and subject to customary permitted transfer exceptions). The Transferred Shares are not be subject to any lock-up restrictions, but for a period of 6 months after the Closing they will be separately designated by SPAC’s transfer agent and kept as book entry shares on the transfer agent’s records and will not be eligible to be held by Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) without the Investor first notifying the Company of its intent to transfer any such Transferred Shares to a brokerage account and/or to be held by DTC or another nominee (a “Brokerage Transfer”). If the Investor provides such notice or otherwise has any Transferred Shares subject to a Brokerage Transfer within 6 months after the Closing, a portion of the outstanding obligations under such Investor’s Note will automatically convert into a number of Conversion Shares equal to the number of Transferred Shares subject to such Brokerage Transfer, and the lock-up period for such Conversion Shares will be extended for an additional 6 months to 12 months after the Financing Closing.

Current report

The Note Purchase Agreements include customary registration rights.

Equity Line of Credit

Current report

On November 15, 2024, the Company and White Lion Capital, LLC (“White Lion”) signed a term sheet providing for the issuance by the Company to White Lion of up to $25 million of shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company anticipates closing the transactions contemplated by the term sheet on or about November 20, 2004. At the closing, the Company and White Lion will enter into a common stock purchase agreement (the “Common Stock Purchase Agreement”) and related registration rights agreement (the “White Lion Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right to sell to White Lion up to the lesser of (i) 25,000,000 shares of common stock (“ELOC Shares) and (ii) the Purchase Notice Limit (as defined in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement), subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. As of the Issuance Date, the Company has not filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 registering the resale of the ELOC Shares. The Company expects to utilize proceeds from the Common Stock Purchase Agreement for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Subject to the terms of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company will have the right from time to time at its sole discretion until the 24th month following signing of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, to direct White Lion to purchase up to a specified maximum number of shares of common stock as set forth in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement by delivering written notice to White Lion prior to the commencement of trading on any trading day. The Company will control the timing and amount of any sales of the common stock to White Lion. Actual sales of shares to White Lion under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, including, among other things, market conditions, and the trading price of the common stock.

Components of Results of Operations

Current report

Revenue, net

Current report

The Company recognizes revenue based on the satisfaction of distinct obligations to transfer goods and services to customers. The Company generates revenue from hardware sales and the sale of licenses and subscriptions. The Company applies a five-step approach as defined in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when a corresponding performance obligation is satisfied. Most contracts with customers are to provide distinct products or services within a single contract. However, if a contract is separated into more than one performance obligation, the total transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation in an amount based on the estimated relative standalone selling price.

Current report

For licenses of technology, recognition of revenue is dependent upon whether the Company has delivered rights to the technology, and whether there are future performance obligations under the contract. Revenue from non-refundable upfront payments is recognized when the license is transferred to the customer and the Company has no other performance obligations. Revenue for licenses delivered under a subscription model having terms between one and twelve-months are recognized over-time. Subscription revenue is generated through sales of monthly subscriptions. Customers pay in advance for the licenses and subscriptions. Revenue is initially deferred and is recognized using the straight-line method over the term of the applicable subscription period.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold consists primarily of the cost of finished goods, components purchased for manufacturing and freight. Cost of goods sold also includes third-party vendor costs related to cloud hosting fees.

Previous report

Further, our Sponsor, officers and directors or their respective affiliates have committed to loaning us funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). If we complete a business combination, we will repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that a business combination does not close, we may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes would either be repaid upon consummation of a business combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, or converted upon consummation of a business combination into additional Private Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Warrant. As of June 30, 2024, the fair value of the conversion feature embedded in the Convertible Promissory Note has been determined to have de minimis value (Note 5).

Previous report

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern”, management has determined that the Company has and will continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete the Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of the Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with the Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of the Business Combination. If we are unable to complete the Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Accounts. In addition, following the Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

Previous report

Further, management has determined that if the Company is unable to complete the Business Combination by September 14, 2024, then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution as well as the Company’s working capital deficit raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after the Combination Period. The Company intends to complete a Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Previous report

Management’s discussion and analysis of our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources are based on our financial information. We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report. Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Certain of our accounting policies require that management apply significant judgments in defining the appropriate assumptions integral to financial estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our condensed consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Judgments are based on historical experience, terms of existing contracts, industry trends and information available from outside sources, as appropriate. Some of the more significant estimates are in connection with determining the fair value of the warrant liabilities, the fair value of the conversion option within the subscription and the forward purchase agreements . However, by their nature, judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty, and, therefore, actual results could differ from our estimates.

Warrant Liabilities

Previous report

We account for the Warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the specific terms of the Warrants and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the Warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the Warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the holders of the Warrants could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of issuance of the Warrants and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the Warrants are outstanding. For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, such warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, liability-classified warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of such warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. We account for the Public and Private warrants in accordance with guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant must be recorded as a liability.
