Blue World Acquisition Corp (NASDAQ:BWAQ), a special purpose acquisition company, has entered into an amendment to its private investment in public equity (PIPE) agreement with NOTAM Co., Ltd., a Japanese corporation, according to a recent SEC filing.
The amendment, dated June 26, 2024, could potentially lead to the issuance of additional ordinary shares of PubCo, the post-merger public company, to NOTAM following the closing of the merger.

The maximum number of additional shares available for purchase by NOTAM has been capped at 500,000.
Additionally, on June 29, 2024, an Earnout Equities Vesting Agreement was entered into, releasing the founder shares of Blue World from potential surrender or cancellation. This agreement was made in light of the efforts to complete the business combination. As a result, 1,380,000 founder shares are now vested and can be converted into PubCo ordinary shares at the merger's closing.
