EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

On December 20, 2023, Marti Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the expiration of its previously announced offer to each holder of its outstanding public warrants (the “Public Warrants”) and private warrants (the “Private Warrants”, together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”) to purchase its Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, the opportunity to receive $0.10 in cash, without interest, for each outstanding Warrant tendered by the holder pursuant to the Amended and Restated Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation, dated as of December 7, 2023 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and the related Letter of Transmittal and Consent (the “Letter of Transmittal and Consent” together with the Offer to Purchase, constitute the “Offer”), and the solicitation of consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) from holders of the outstanding Warrants to amend the Warrant Agreement, dated July 8, 2021, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”) (the “Warrant Agreement”), which governs all of the Warrants, to permit the Company to redeem each outstanding Warrant not tendered in the Offer for $0.07 in cash, without interest, which is 30% less than the price applicable to the Offer (such amendment, the “Warrant Amendment”).

 

The Offer expired midnight, Eastern Time, at the end of the day on December 19, 2023 (the “Expiration Date”), in accordance with its terms. Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the depositary for the Offer, has indicated that as of the Expiration Date, (i) 5,902,206 outstanding Public Warrants, or approximately 82% of the outstanding Public Warrants were validly tendered and not withdrawn in the Offer, and (ii) 7,250,000 outstanding Private Warrants, or 100% of the outstanding Private Warrants were validly tendered and not withdrawn in the Offer. Pursuant to the terms of the Offer, the Company expects to accept all validly tendered Warrants for purchase and settlement on December 22, 2023 (the “Settlement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Offer, the Company expects to pay an aggregate of approximately $1.3 million in cash to purchase the validly tendered Warrants.

 

Pursuant to the Consent Solicitation, the Company received the approval of approximately 82% of the outstanding Public Warrants to the Warrant Amendment, which is more than a majority of its outstanding Public Warrants required to effect the Warrant Amendment as it relates to the Public Warrants and 100% of the outstanding Private Warrants to the Warrant Amendment, which is more than a majority of its outstanding Private Warrants required to effect the Warrant Amendment as it relates to the Private Warrants. On December 20, 2023, the Company and the Warrant Agent entered into the Warrant Amendment with respect to the Public Warrants and the Private Warrants and the Company announced that it will exercise its right to redeem all remaining outstanding Warrants for cash in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Amendment, and has fixed January 4, 2024 as the redemption date, following which no Warrants will remain outstanding.

 

The Offer and the Consent Solicitation are made solely upon the terms and conditions in the Offer to Purchase and other related offering materials that have been distributed to holders of the Warrants. A copy of the Company’s press release is furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and a copy of the Warrant Amendment is furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.2.

 

This report on Form 6-K, including the Exhibits attached hereto, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-274779) of the Company (including the prospectus forming a part of such registration statement) and to be a part thereof from the date on which this report is filed, to the extent not superseded by documents or reports subsequently filed or furnished.

Exhibit 99.1

 

Marti Announces Expiration and Results of the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation

Relating to its Warrants and Issues Notice of Redemption with Respect to its Outstanding Warrants

 

 

Istanbul, Türkiye, December 20, 2023 — Marti Technologies, Inc. (“Marti” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: MRT), Türkiye’s leading mobility app, today announced that it has successfully completed a tender process with regard to its offer to purchase all of its outstanding warrants to purchase its Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (an “Ordinary Share”), at a purchase price of $0.10 per warrant in cash, without interest (the “Offer”) and that it has issued a notice of redemption pursuant to which it will redeem for cash all of its outstanding warrants that were not tendered in the Offer. All untendered and unexercised warrants will be redeemed on January 4, 2024 (the “Redemption Date”). The redemption price will be $0.07 per warrant (the “Redemption Price”). The successfully completed tender process, when combined with the contemplated redemption of untendered warrants, will lead to a simplified capital structure with no warrants.

 

Marti’s offer to purchase (a) 7,187,489 warrants to purchase its Ordinary Shares which were publicly issued and sold as part of the units in the Company’s initial public offering in July 2021 (the “IPO”) (the “Public Warrants”), and (b) 7,250,000 warrants  to purchase its Ordinary Shares which were privately issued and sold in connection with the IPO pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) (the “Private Warrants” and together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”), expired at 12:00 midnight, Eastern Time, at the end of the day on December 19, 2023 (the “Expiration Date”).

 

Marti has been advised that, as of the Expiration Date, (i) 5,902,206 Public Warrants had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn from the Offer, representing approximately 82% of the outstanding Public Warrants and (ii) 7,250,000 Private Warrants had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn from the Offer, representing 100% of the outstanding Private Warrants, which cumulatively comprised approximately 91% of all outstanding Warrants. Pursuant to the terms of the Offer the Company expects to pay an aggregate of approximately $1.3 million in cash to purchase the validly tendered Warrants. Holders of Warrants that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer will receive $0.10 in cash, without interest, for each outstanding Warrant tendered by the holder pursuant to the Offer. The Company expects to accept all validly tendered Warrants for purchase and settlement on December 22, 2023 (the “Settlement”).

 

Marti also solicited consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) to amend the Warrant Agreement, dated July 8, 2021, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”) (the “Warrant Agreement”), which governs all of the Warrants, to permit the Company to redeem each outstanding Warrant not tendered in the Offer for $0.07 in cash, without interest, which is 30% less than the price applicable to the Offer (such amendment, 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 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 is required to approve the Warrant Amendment as it relates to the Private Warrants.

 

As of the Expiration Date, parties representing approximately 82% of the outstanding Public Warrants and 100% of the outstanding Private Warrants consented to the Warrant Amendment in the Consent Solicitation. Accordingly, because holders of more than a majority of the outstanding Public Warrants and a majority of the outstanding Private Warrants have agreed to consent to the Warrant Amendment in the Consent Solicitation, the Warrant Amendment was adopted. The Warrant Amendment was executed and any Warrants that were not tendered in the Offer may be exercised at any time until 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Redemption Date. Any Warrants that remain unexercised at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Redemption Date will be void and no longer exercisable and their holders will have no rights with respect to those Warrants, except to receive the Redemption Price. Of the total of 14,437,489 Warrants that are outstanding, 13,152,206 Warrants were tendered in connection with the Offer and 1,285,283 Warrants remain untendered and subject to redemption at the Redemption Price, unless exercised prior to the Redemption Date, following which no Warrants will remain outstanding.

 

The Offer and Consent Solicitation were made pursuant to the Amended and Restated Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation dated December 7, 2023 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and the related Letter of Transmittal and Consent (the “Letter of Transmittal and Consent”), each of which have been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). 

 

 

 

The Ordinary Shares and Warrants are listed on the NYSE American under the symbols “MRT” and “MRT.WS,” respectively. The last trading day of the Warrants on the NYSE American will be January 3, 2024.

 

Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”) was the dealer manager for the Offer and Consent Solicitation. Morrow Sodali Global LLC (“Morrow Sodali”) was the information agent for the Offer and Consent Solicitation, and Continental was the depositary for the Offer and Consent Solicitation.

Any express or implied statements contained in this press release that are not statements of historical fact and generally relate to future events, hopes, intentions, strategies, or performance may be deemed to be forward-looking statements, including but without limitation to statements regarding our ability to achieve the sustainability targets, goals, objectives or programs set forth under our sustainability strategy, “Move Forward. Together,” and descriptions of the Company’s plans, initiatives or objectives for future operations, or the timing of occurrence related to any of the foregoing.
