Item 1.01 Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.

Business Combination Agreement

On October 3, 2022, Pathfinder Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company incorporated with limited liability ("Pathfinder"), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Business Combination Agreement"), by and among Pathfinder, Movella Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Movella"), and Motion Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Pathfinder ("Merger Sub"). The Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (collectively, the "Business Combination") were approved by the boards of directors of each of Pathfinder, Movella and Merger Sub and Pathfinder in its capacity as the sole shareholder of Merger Sub.

The Business Combination and Consideration

The Business Combination Agreement provides for, among other things, the following transactions will occur on the date on which the Closing occurs (the "Closing Date"):

(i) Pathfinder will transfer by way of continuation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware and domesticate as a Delaware corporation in accordance with Section 388 of the DGCL and Part XII of the Cayman Islands Companies Act (as revised), pursuant to which Pathfinder's jurisdiction of incorporation will be changed from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware (the "Domestication"), and, in connection with the Domestication, (A) Pathfinder's name will be changed to "Movella Holdings, Inc." ("New Movella") and (B) each outstanding Class A ordinary share of Pathfinder and each outstanding Class B ordinary share of Pathfinder (other than those forfeited pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement, as set forth below) will become one share of common stock of New Movella (the "New Movella Common Stock"); (C) each issued and outstanding whole warrant to purchase a Class A ordinary share of Pathfinder will automatically represent the right to purchase one share of New Movella Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share on the terms and conditions set forth in the Pathfinder warrant agreement (the "New Movella Warrants") and (D) the governing documents of Pathfinder will be amended and restated and become the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws of New Movella; and in connection with clauses (C) and (D) of this paragraph, each issued and outstanding unit of Pathfinder that has not been previously separated into the underlying Class A ordinary shares of Pathfinder and the underlying warrants of Pathfinder prior to the Domestication will be cancelled and will entitle the holder thereof to one share of New Movella Common Stock and one-fifth of one warrant representing the right to purchase one share of New Movella Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share on the terms and conditions set forth in the Pathfinder warrant agreement;

(ii) on the Closing Date prior to the time the Merger becomes effective (the "Effective Time") Movella will engage in a pre-closing recapitalization (the "Pre-Closing Recapitalization") on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement;

(iii) following the Domestication, Merger Sub will merge with and into Movella, with Movella as the surviving company of the merger and, after giving effect to such merger, continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Movella (the "Merger");





                                       1




(iv) in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, at the Effective Time, each share of capital stock of Movella (other than any dissenting shares and shares that may be cancelled and exchanged in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement) issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be exchanged for shares of New Movella Common Stock and outstanding Movella options to purchase shares of Movella (whether vested or unvested) will be exchanged for comparable options to purchase New Movella Common Stock, in each case, based on an implied Movella pre-transaction equity value of $375 million, subject to adjustment.

The Business Combination is expected to close in the first quarter of 2023, subject to the required approval by Pathfinder's shareholders, delivery of the certain written consents of Movella's shareholders and the fulfillment of other customary closing conditions.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements

This communication contains "forward-looking statements" regarding Pathfinder, Movella, and the combined company. Statements in this communication that are not historical in nature may constitute forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to Pathfinder's, Movella's, or the combined company's future expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, financial conditions, assumptions, performance, projections, forecasts, or estimates, including with respect to financial or other performance or valuation metrics or market size or opportunity, or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this communication, and on the current expectations of Pathfinder's or Movella's management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. The words "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "enable," "estimate," "expect," "extend," "future," "intend," "may," "might," "opportunity," "outlook," "plan," "position," "possible," "potential," "predict," "project," "see," "seem," "should," "will," "would," and similar expressions, or the negative of such expressions, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements in this communication include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the following: Pathfinder's or Movella's management team's expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future; the potential impact of the transaction on Movella and the combined company, including allowing Movella to continue to rapidly scale its platform and further invest in market-leading movement capture and digitization solutions; the ability of Movella's solutions to enable real-time digitized movement in the emerging high-growth areas of the Metaverse, next-generation gaming, live streaming and other applications; the anticipated use of capital raised from the transaction to further scale and grow the business; the expectation that Movella and the combined company, as applicable, may achieve breakeven on an Adjusted EBITDA basis as early as the third quarter of 2023 and profitability on an Adjusted EBITDA basis as early as the third quarter of 2023; the belief that Movella's proprietary technology, scalable business model, and experienced leadership team will position Movella to extend its leadership position and continue to deliver innovations that drive the industry; the anticipated or potential features, benefits, and applications for Movella's products and technology and timing thereof; the market opportunity for Movella's products and technology; the anticipated timing of the closing of the Business Combination; and the anticipated gross proceeds the Business Combination, including the Francisco Partners financing, is expected to deliver to the combined company.

These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond Pathfinder's or Movella's control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Although each of Pathfinder and Movella believes that it has a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this communication, each of Pathfinder and Movella caution you that these statements are based on a combination of facts and factors currently known and projections of the future, which are inherently uncertain. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) Pathfinder's and Movella's ability to complete the Business Combination, including the Francisco Partners financing, during the anticipated timeframe or at all; (ii) Movella's success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, officers, key employees, or directors following the Business Combination; (iii) the funds in the trust account being available to Pathfinder or the combined company; (iv) Pathfinder's or the combined company's ability to obtain additional financing to complete the Business Combination; (v) Pathfinder's public securities' liquidity and trading and those of the combined company; (vi) the lack of a market for Pathfinder's or the combined company's securities; (vii) the use of funds not held in the trust account or available to Pathfinder from interest income on the trust account balance; (viii) the trust account not being subject to claims of third parties; (ix) general economic conditions and Movella's financial performance; (x) the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, macroeconomic conditions, and geopolitical crises; (xi) the number of Pathfinder shareholders voting against the business combination proposal; (xii) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the definitive merger agreement; (xiii) the ability to achieve and maintain the listing of the combined company's shares on a national securities exchange following the business combination; (xiv) changes adversely affecting the businesses in which Movella is engaged; (xv) management of growth; (xvi) Movella's ability to execute on its business strategy and plans; (xvii) the result of future financing efforts; and (xviii) risks related to regulatory matters, as well as the factors described under the heading "Risk Factors" in Pathfinder's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, Pathfinder's registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-252498), the registration statement on Form S-4 discussed below, and other documents filed by Pathfinder from time to time with the SEC.
