Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

The information set forth or incorporated in Item 4 is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 3.

 

On March 3, 2022, Provident Acquisition Corp. (“Provident”) entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger with the Issuer, Beauty Corp., an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of Cayman Islands and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer (“Merger Sub 1”) and Fashion Corp., an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of Cayman Islands and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer (“Merger Sub 2”), and on September 16, 2022, the Sponsor entered into the First Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger with the Issuer, Merger Sub 1 and Merger Sub 2 (collectively, the “Business Combination Agreement”).

 

On October 27, 2022, the FPA Investors completed the FPA Investment.

On the Closing Date, immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger (the “First Merger Effective Time”), (i) the Sixth Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Issuer became effective, and (ii) the Issuer effected a share combination such that each common share of the Issuer, par value $0.10 per share, and each preferred share of the Issuer, par value $0.10 per share, was consolidated into a number of shares based on a combination factor provided under the Business Combination Agreement, and upon such share combination, each resulting share was repurchased and cancelled in exchange for the issuance of one Class A Ordinary Share (where the holder thereof was not DVDonet.com. Inc., Golden Edge Co., Ltd., World Speed Company Limited or Alice H. Chang (each, a “Founder Party”)), or one Class B ordinary shares of the Issuer, par value $0.10 per share (the “Class B Ordinary Share”) (where the holder thereof was a Founder Party).

 

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, (i) immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time, each Provident Class B Ordinary Share, outstanding immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time was automatically converted into one Provident Class A Ordinary Share in accordance with the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of Provident, and, (ii) after giving effect to such automatic conversion, at the First Merger Effective Time and as a result of the First Merger, (a) each issued and outstanding Provident Class A Ordinary Share, including but not limited to each of the Forward Purchase Shares, was cancelled in exchange for the right to receive one Class A Ordinary Share, and (b) each outstanding and unexercised warrant of Provident, including but not limited to each of the Forward Purchase Warrants and Private Placement Warrants, was converted into a corresponding warrant of the Issuer exercisable for Class A Ordinary Shares (the “Perfect Warrant”).

Additionally, the Reporting Persons subscribed to 300,000 Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to its PIPE investment in the Issuer, which collectively resulted in them holding over 5% of the Issuer's Section 12(b) securities.
