Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

 

On May 30, 2025, Forbes published an article with reference to the transactions (the “Transactions”) contemplated by the Merger Agreement by and among JVSPAC Acquisition Corp. (the “Company” or “JVSPAC”), Hotel101 Global Pte. Ltd. (“Hotel101 Global”), DoubleDragon Corporation (“DoubleDragon”) and other parties named therein, dated April 8, 2024 (as amended on September 3, 2024). The article is being filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.

 

No Offer or Solicitation

 

This communication is not a proxy statement or solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the potential business combination transaction (the “Transactions”). It does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, or a solicitation of any vote or approval, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act.

 

Participants in the Solicitation

 

JVSPAC, DoubleDragon, Hotel101 Global, and their respective directors, executive officers and other members of management and employees may, under SEC rules, be deemed to be participants in the solicitations of proxies from JVSPAC’s shareholders in connection with the proposed Transactions. Information regarding the persons who may, under SEC rules, be deemed participants in the solicitation of JVSPAC’s shareholders in connection with the proposed Transactions is set forth in a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) containing the proxy statement/prospectus filed with the SEC in connection with the Transactions. You can find more information about JVSPAC’s directors and executive officers in JVSPAC’s final prospectus related to its initial public offering dated January 18, 2024 and subsequent filings on Form 3 and Form 10-K, and when available, Form 4 and Form 10-Q. Additional information regarding the participants in the proxy solicitation and a description of their direct and indirect interests will be included in the proxy statement/prospectus when it becomes available. Shareholders, potential investors and other interested persons should read the proxy statement/prospectus carefully when it becomes available before making any voting or investment decisions. You may obtain free copies of these documents from the sources indicated above.

 

Additional Information About the Business Combination and Where to Find It

 

The proposed Transactions will be submitted to shareholders of JVSPAC for their consideration and approval. The Registration Statement contains a preliminary proxy statement in connection with JVSPAC’s solicitation for proxies for the vote by JVSPAC’s shareholders in connection with the proposed Transactions and other matters as described in the Registration Statement, as well as a prospectus relating to the offer of the securities to be issued to Hotel101 Global’s shareholders in connection with the completion of the proposed Transactions. After the Registration Statement is declared effective, JVSPAC will mail a definitive proxy statement and other relevant documents to its shareholders as of the record date established for voting on the proposed Transactions. JVSPAC’s shareholders and other interested persons are advised to read, the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus and any amendments thereto and, once available, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus, in connection with JVSPAC’s solicitation of proxies for its special meeting of shareholders to be held to approve, among other things, the proposed Transactions, because these documents will contain important information about JVSPAC, Hotel101 Global and the proposed Transactions. Shareholders may also obtain a copy of the preliminary or definitive proxy statement, once available, as well as other documents filed with the SEC regarding the proposed Transactions and other documents filed with the SEC by JVSPAC, without charge, at the SEC’s website located at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to JVSPAC at G/F Hang Tak Building, 1 Electric Street, Wan Chai, Hong Kong.

These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this communication, and on the current expectations of JVSPAC’s and Hotel101 Global’s management and are not predictions of actual performance.

 

These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve, and must not be relied on by any investor, as a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of JVSPAC and Hotel101 Global. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the ability of JVSPAC and Hotel101 Global to successfully or timely consummate the proposed Transactions, including the risk that any regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the proposed Transactions or approval of the shareholders of JVSPAC or Hotel101 Global; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed Transactions; the combined company’s ability to execute on its business model, potential business expansion opportunities in foreign countries and growth strategies, retain and expand customers’ use of its hotel services and attract new customers, and source and maintain talent; risks relating to the combined company’s sources of cash and cash resources; risks relating to Hotel101 Global’s business; risks relating to JVSPAC’s and the combined company’s vulnerability to security breaches; risks relating to the combined company’s ability to manage future growth; the effects of competition on the combined company’s future business; the amount of redemption requests made by JVSPAC’s public shareholders; the outcome of any potential litigation, government and regulatory proceedings, investigations and inquiries involving the parties to the Transactions; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Hotel101 Global’s or the combined company’s business and the global economy; and those factors discussed in JVSPAC’s final prospectus related to its initial public offering dated January 18, 2024, under the heading “Risk Factors,” in JVSPAC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 under the heading “Risk Factors” filed with the SEC on March 6, 2025 (and amended on March 11, 2025) and other documents filed, or to be filed, by JVSPAC with the SEC. If any of these risks materializes or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither JVSPAC nor Hotel101 Global presently knows or that JVSPAC and Hotel101 Global currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect JVSPAC’s and Hotel101 Global’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this communication. JVSPAC and Hotel101 Global anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause JVSPAC’s and Hotel101 Global’s assessments to change. However, while JVSPAC and Hotel101 Global may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, JVSPAC and Hotel101 Global specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing JVSPAC’s and Hotel101 Global’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this communication. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
