EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) amends the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule  TO originally filed by Marti Technologies, Inc. (formerly known as Galata Acquisition Corp.), an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our), on November 21, 2023 (as amended, the “Schedule TO”), relating to the tender offer by the Company to purchase for cash up to 14,437,489 of its outstanding Warrants (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) at a price of $0.10 per Warrant, without interest (the “Offer Purchase Price”). The Company’s offer is made upon the terms and conditions in the Amended and Restated Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation, dated as of December 7, 2023 (as may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer to Purchase”), a copy of which is filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(A) to this Schedule TO, and the related Letter of Transmittal and Consent (the “Letter of Transmittal and Consent” together with the Offer to Purchase, as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time, constitute the “Offer”).

 

Concurrently with the Offer, the Company is also soliciting consents from holders of its outstanding Warrants (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) to amend the Warrant Agreement, dated as of July 8, 2021, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Warrant Agent”) (as may be amended, the “Warrant Agreement”), which governs all of the Warrants, to permit the Company to redeem each outstanding Warrant for $0.07 in cash, without interest (the “Redemption Price”), which Redemption Price is 30% less than the Offer Purchase Price (the “Warrant Amendment”). Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the consent of holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Public Warrants (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) is required to approve the Warrant Amendment as it relates to the Public Warrants and the consent of holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Private Warrants (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) is required to approve the Warrant Amendment as it relates to the Private Warrants.

 

This Amendment No. 1 is being filed, among other things, to amend and restate the Offer to Purchase to include summary financial information for the Company and to correct certain typographical errors in the Offer to Purchase and certain other exhibits to the Schedule TO.

 

Only those items amended are reported in this Amendment No. 1. Except as amended hereby to the extent specifically provided herein, the information contained in the Schedule TO, the Offer to Purchase, and the other exhibits to the Schedule TO remains unchanged and is hereby expressly incorporated into this Amendment No. 1 by reference. This Amendment No. 1 should be read with the Schedule TO and the Offer to Purchase.

 

Item 10. Financial Statements.

 

Item 10 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

 

(c) Summary Information:

 

Summary financial information pursuant to Item 1010(c) of Regulation M-A is set forth in “The Offer and Consent Solicitation, Section 7. Information Concerning Marti Technologies, Inc.” in the Offer to Purchase and is incorporated herein by reference.
