Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

 

Pursuant to the third amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Charter”) of TenX Keane Acquisition (the “Company”), the Company had until April 18, 2024 to consummate its business combination, provided however that the Company was able to subsequently extend the period of time to consummate a business combination up to seven (7) times for an additional one (1) month each time from April 18, 2024 to November 18, 2024, if requested by 10XYZ Holdings LP, the sponsor of the Company (the “Sponsor”), subject to the Sponsor or its designee, depositing the lesser of (i) $66,667 or (ii) $0.03 per public share, for each month during the subsequent additional one (1) month extensions from April 18, 2024 to November 18, 2024, that is needed to complete an initial business combination.

 

As previously disclosed, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”), dated October 23, 2023, by and among the Company, TenX Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Citius Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Citius Pharma”), and Citius Oncology, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Citius Pharma (“Citius Oncology”), to acquire Citius Oncology and, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Sponsor designated Citius Pharma as its designee to make the Contribution (as defined below).

 

Additionally, and also as previously disclosed, the first (1^st) of the possible seven (7) time extensions was effected on April 26, 2024. On that date, Citius Pharma deposited $66,667 into the trust account of the Company to extend the timeline to complete a business combination for an additional one (1) month period from April 18, 2024 to May 18, 2024.

 

Further to the above, on May 17, 2024, Citius Pharma deposited $66,667 into the trust account of the Company (the “Contribution”) to extend the timeline to complete a business combination for an additional one (1) month period from May 18, 2024 to June 18, 2024 (the “Extension”). Such deposit of the Contribution is evidenced by an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) issued by the Company in the principal amount of $66,667 to Citius Pharma. The Note bears no interest and is repayable in full per the terms of the Merger Agreement.

 

The foregoing description of the Note is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Note, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
