Armada Acquisition I entered into a subscription agreement with Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund, which agreed to deliver up to $440,000 to the SPAC’s sponsor. In return, Polar will receive 880,000 shares of Armada stock currently held by the sponsor.
Upon repayment of working capital loans from Armada I to the sponsor, the sponsor would then repay Polar for the investor capital contribution within five business days. If the SPAC completes a business combination, Polar may elect at the closing to receive repayments either in cash or in the form of stock at a rate of one share for each $10 of the investor capital contribution.
