New
York, NY — August 22, 2024 — Vision Sensing Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: VSACU, VSAC, VSACW) (the “Company”
or “VSAC”), has mutually agreed with Mediforum Co., Ltd. (“Mediforum”) to termination of the Agreement
and Plan of Merger dated as of January 12, 2024. The parties agreed that it would not be possible for them to complete the proposed transaction
within a reasonable period of time and have waived any claims against each other.
Concurrently,
VSAC is pleased to announce that it has entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Delaware incorporated Convergence CT, Inc. (“CCT”)
to complete a business combination between the Company and CCT pursuant to which VSAC will directly or indirectly acquire 100% of the
outstanding equity of the Company in exchange for the consideration described below (the “Business Combination”).
The legal transaction structure (including any pre-closing reorganization) will be determined by the Parties based on business, legal,
tax, accounting, and other considerations (and, in the event the transaction structure results in a person other than VSAC being the
parent listed company, references in this term sheet to the Surviving Entity will be deemed to mean such new parent company, as applicable).
CCT
optimizes hospital workflows through tailored smart hospital solutions and implementation services, integrating IoT and AI to enhance
patient care. With over 20 years of expertise, CCT is a forerunner in healthcare data integration. CCT’s proprietary technological
capabilities empower healthcare providers, life sciences companies, payers, and governments with valuable global health insights. CCT’s
current management team is expected to continue running the combined company after the transaction. The Combined Company Is Expected
to trade on the NASDAQ post-closing under a new ticker symbol to be determined.
“CCT
is thrilled to announce the merger with VSAC and its debut on the NASDAQ. With our recent expansions into Japan and Malaysia and integrated
technology platform, we are poised for significant growth in Asia and in other parts of the world. We believe our unique integrated technological
capabilities and the increasing demand within the healthcare sector for such systems have created significant opportunities for growth
and profitability. Our listing on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange will provide our shareholders with increased access to capital and enhanced
valuation of our business. CCT’s corporate culture, centered on technology, innovation, and leadership, underscores its commitment
to transformative smart hospital solutions.
George
Sobek, Chief Executive Officer of VSAC added, “We are excited about the business combination with CCT and the opportunity the
transaction affords to our investors. CCT has a unique platform for service to medical professionals and their patients in the management
of patient care, provision of data, and a platform to improve medical outcomes.”
Key
Transaction Terms
Under
the terms of the non-binding LOI, a new company will be formed in an offshore jurisdiction to be determined (“PubCo”) for
the purpose of participating in the transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement and becoming the publicly trade holding company
for the Surviving Corporation of CCT and VSAC. Details of the final structure will be determined prior to the signing of a binding Business
Combination Agreement, expected to be completed within 45 days.
The
total consideration provided to CCT’s equity holders (including holders of vested stock options) (the “Existing Equity
Holders”) in the Business Combination will be US$135 million (the “Transaction Consideration”), calculated
on a cash-free, debt-free basis and assuming normalized levels of working capital. The Transaction Consideration shall be paid by an
initial upfront equity transfer to existing CCT shareholders in the amount of US$110 million (the “Initial Payment”)
and payment of an additional 2.5 million earn-out shares into a trust account to be established for this purpose (the “Earn-Out
Shares” and the “Earn-Out Trust”). The Earn-Out Shares shall be released to the original CCT shareholders
in the second year after the Closing of the Business Combination in an amount proportional to the Company’s cumulative performance
against pre-agreed EBITDA targets (to be determined in the business combination agreement) with the balance of Earn-Out Shares then cancelled.
The
Transaction Consideration is premised on the current valuation of the Company as estimated by the parties and is subject to adjustment
by mutual agreement of the Parties following further diligence and review. Any shares issued as part of the Transaction Consideration
will be restricted as to trading and will be required to be subject to a lock-up for a period of 6 months following the Closing.
The
initial board of directors of the Surviving Entity will have 5 directors, consisting of: (i) 3 directors designated prior to the Closing
by the Company, 1 of which shall be considered independent under Nasdaq requirements; (ii) 1 director designated by VSAC and (iii) 1
additional director as mutually agreed by VSAC and the Company prior to the closing. The majority of directors shall be required to be
considered independent and meet other requirements under Nasdaq rules and regulations.
The
obligations of the Parties to consummate the transaction will be subject to customary closing conditions for a transaction of this nature,
including completion of required Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) approved audits for the Company
for the fiscal years ending 31 December 2022 and 2023, and any required interim statements. The Parties have agreed to a target date
for signing of a binding Business Combination Agreement by no later than August 31, 2024.

to the proposed business combination; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against VSAC or CCT following the
announcement of the LOI and the transactions contemplated therein; (3) the inability to complete the business combination, including
due to failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of VSAC or other conditions to closing in the Merger Agreement; (4) delays in obtaining
or the inability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals (including approval from insurance regulators) required to complete the transactions
contemplated by the LOI; (5) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the

to grow and manage growth profitably and retain its key employees; (9) costs related to the business combination; (10) changes in applicable
laws or regulations; (11) the possibility that CCT or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or
