Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, and in accordance with applicable law, AV Merger Sub, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, will merge with AMC, with AMC surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Business Combination”).

 

The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1 is furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the filings of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings. The submission of the information set forth in this Item 7.01 will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibits 99.1.

 

Important Information About the Business Combination and Where to Find It

 

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company intends to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) containing a proxy statement/prospectus and certain other related documents, which will be both the proxy statement to be distributed to holders of the Company’s ordinary shares in connection with the Company’s solicitation of proxies for the vote by the Company’s shareholders with respect to the Business Combination and other matters as may be described in the Registration Statement, as well as the prospectus relating to the offer and sale of the securities of the Company to be issued in connection with the Business Combination. This communication is not a substitute for the Registration Statement, the definitive proxy statement/final prospectus or any other document that the Company will send to its shareholders in connection with the Business Combination. The Company’s shareholders and other interested persons are advised to read carefully and in their entirety, when available, the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus included in the Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto) and the definitive proxy statement/final prospectus, as well as other documents filed with the SEC, as these materials will contain important information about the parties to the Business Combination Agreement, the Company and the Business Combination. After the Registration Statement is declared effective, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus will be mailed to shareholders of the Company as of a record date to be established for voting on the Business Combination and other matters as may be described in the Registration Statement. Shareholders will also be able to obtain copies of the proxy statement/prospectus and other documents filed with the SEC that will be incorporated by reference in the proxy statement/prospectus, without charge, once available, at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov, or by directing a request to: AlphaVest Acquisition Corp, One 420 Lexington Ave, Suite 2446, New York, NY 10170, Attention: Yong (David) Yan, (203) 998-5540.

A list of the names of those directors and executive officers and a description of their interests in the Company is contained in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (as amended to date), which was initially filed with the SEC on December 13, 2022, and is available free of charge at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov, or by directing a request to AlphaVest Acquisition Corp, One 420 Lexington Ave, Suite 2446, New York, NY 10170, Attention: Yong (David) Yan, (203) 998-5540.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company’s and AMC’s actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believe,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” and similar expressions may identify such forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the Company’s and AMC’s expectations with respect to future performance and anticipated financial impacts of the Business Combination, the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the Business Combination and the timing of the completion of the Business Combination. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results, including factors that are outside of the Company’s and AMC’s control and that are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company and AMC following the announcement of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein; (2) the inability to complete the Business Combination, including due to failure to obtain the approval of the shareholders of the Company, approvals or other determinations from certain regulatory authorities, or other conditions to closing in the Business Combination Agreement; (3) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement or that could otherwise cause the transactions contemplated therein to fail to close; (4) the inability to obtain or maintain the listing of the combined company’s shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC following the Business Combination; (5) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; (6) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition and the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably and to retain its key employees; (7) costs related to the Business Combination; (8) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (9) the possibility that AMC or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (10) the combined company’s ability to raise financing in the future and to comply with restrictive covenants related to long-term indebtedness; (11) the impact of COVID-19 on AMC’s business and/or the ability of the parties to complete the Business Combination; and (12) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the Registration Statement and other documents filed, or to be filed, by the Company with the SEC.

 

The Company cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Although the Company believes the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, nothing in this Current Report on Form 8-K should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements or projections set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements or projections will be achieved. There may be additional risks that the Company and AMC presently do not know of or that the Company and AMC currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Neither the Company nor AMC undertakes any duty to update these forward-looking statements, except as otherwise required by law.

 

No Offer or Solicitation

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K and the exhibits hereto shall not constitute a solicitation of a proxy, consent, or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the Business Combination. This Current Report on Form 8-K shall also not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act.

This business combination, if consummated, will grant ATMV investors an equity stake in a pioneering Vision AI company which has successfully established itself in the home security market and is now expanding various small to medium business use cases. We fully endorse AMC’s vision and are committed to supporting its goal to enable Vision AI across all relevant environments and situations.”
