Exhibit 99.2
Helport AI Limited and Tristar Acquisition I
Corp. Announce Closing on Reduced $5.5 Million
PIPE Investment Concurrently with Closing of Business Combination
SINGAPORE and BURLINGTON, MA, August 2, 2024 – Helport AI Limited (together with its operating subsidiaries, “Helport”), an AI technology company serving enterprises’ customer contact centers with intelligent products, solutions and a digital platform and Tristar Acquisition I Corp. (“Tristar”), a special purpose acquisition company, today announced the consummation of a $5.5 million private placement financing in connection with the completion of their previously announced business combination. Together with the proceeds previously raised in the form of convertible notes issued to Helport note holders from March 2024 to June 2024 (the “Convertible Notes”), Helport has raised an aggregate of $10.39 million in gross proceeds to support its operations.
As previously disclosed, on May 18, 2024, Tristar and Helport entered into subscription agreements with three investors on substantially the same terms, pursuant to which, among other things, Helport agreed to issue and sell to the investors, and the investors agreed to subscribe for and purchase an aggregate of 1,388,889 shares at a purchase price of $10.80 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $15,000,000, in a private placement (the “PIPE Investment”). The subscription agreements contained customary conditions to closing, including the consummation of the Business Combination.
As reported in the proxy statement/prospectus included in the Registration Statement on Form F-4 (File No. 333-276940) of Helport AI Limited (“Pubco”), the PIPE Investment was subject to the risk that it might not be consummated due to a number of reasons, including that an investor may fail to fund any portion of the PIPE Investment or otherwise breach its obligations under the applicable subscription agreement, which might prevent the PIPE Investment from being consummated in a timely manner, or at all.
On August 2, 2024, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, Pubco received aggregate gross proceeds of $5.5 million out of the $15 million PIPE Investment and issued an aggregate of 509,259 shares to the PIPE Investors for such subscription. The reduced amount of gross proceeds was due to the inability of one of the investors to remit substantially all of its subscription. Each of Tristar and Pubco reserve their rights with respect to such investor’s obligations, however there are no assurances that the balance of such commitment will be remitted in a timely manner, if at all.
As of August 2, 2024, through the PIPE Investment and the Convertible Notes, Helport has raised aggregate gross proceeds of $10.39 million to support its operations.
