Item 1.01 |
|
Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
As
previously reported, on October 15, 2021, 26 Capital Acquisition Corp. (“26 Capital” or the “Company”)
entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Share Acquisition (the “Merger and Share Acquisition Agreement”)
with Tiger Resort Asia Ltd., a Hong Kong private limited company (“TRA”), Tiger Resort, Leisure and Entertainment
Inc., a Philippine corporation and a subsidiary of TRA (“TRLEI”), Okada Manila International, Inc., a Philippine corporation
which is currently a subsidiary of TRLEI (“OMI”), and Project Tiger Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of OMI (“Merger Sub” and with TRA, TRLEI, and OMI, the “UEC Parties”).
Pursuant to the Merger and Share Acquisition Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into 26 Capital (the “Business Combination”).
On
March 30, 2022, the Company and the UEC Parties entered into an amendment to the Merger and Share Acquisition Agreement (“Amendment
No. 2”). Amendment No. 2 eliminates the requirement for OMI to amend the ground lease for Okada Manila in full prior to the
closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger and Share Acquisition Agreement and instead provides for a portion of the amendment
of the lease to occur after closing. Amendment No. 2 further allows for completion of the Reorganization (as defined in the Merger and
Share Acquisition Agreement) prior to the recording in the stock and transfer book of TRLEI of the transfer of the shares of TRLEI from
TRA to OMI.

meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking
statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as,
a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Okada Manila’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,”

These
forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially, and
potentially adversely, from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Most of these factors are outside 26 Capital’s
and Okada Manila’s control and 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 26 Capital and/or Okada Manila following the consummation
of the Business Combination; (2) the impact of COVID-19 and related regulatory responses (such as local community quarantine and international
travel restrictions) on Okada Manila’s business; (3) the dependence of Okada Manila’s business on its casino gaming license;
(4) the inability to maintain the listing of Okada Manila’s common shares on the Nasdaq following the consummation of the Business
Combination; (5) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations; (6) the ability to recognize the anticipated
benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of Okada Manila to grow
and manage growth profitably, and retain its key employees; (7) costs related to the Business Combination; (8) changes in applicable
laws or regulations; and (9) the possibility that Okada Manila may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive
factors. The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning 26 Capital
or Okada Manila, the transactions described herein or other matters attributable to 26 Capital, Okada Manila or any person acting on
their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance

obligations or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect
any change in their expectations with respect thereto or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any statement is
based, except as required by law.
