Pegasus Digital Mobility Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”), Pegasus Digital Mobility Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), and Pegasus TopCo B.V. to be renamed Schmid Group N.V. ("TopCo") have entered into several non-redemption and investment agreements in connection with the shareholders meeting called by the Company to approve the business combination between the Company, TopCo and Gebr. Schmid GmbH scheduled for April 22, 2024.

The total amount of currently committed capital in these non-redemption and investment agreements is approximately USD 20 million. The currently committed capital includes investments from several institutional investors as well as up to USD 8 million from the Sponsor.

The Company, the Sponsor and TopCo expect to enter into additional non-redemption and investment agreements prior to the Company's shareholders meeting. The closing of the initial business combination, which is scheduled for April 25, 2024 (at the earliest), remains subject to the fulfillment of all closing conditions set out in the business combination agreement, as amended.

In addition, the Company and TopCo hereby announce that Boo-Keun Yoon has agreed to join TopCo's board of directors as an independent director. Boo-Keun Yoon, former Vice Chairman and CEO of Samsung Electronics, spent nearly four decades progressing through a series of leadership roles at Samsung – including Vice Chairman of Korea Enterprises. His extensive knowledge of the Electronics sector, strategic alliances with Korea’s Chamber of Commerce and his extensive network across the industry will serve TopCo well in this new appointment. The Company, TopCo and the Schmid Group are in discussions with two further independent directors who will join the TopCo board either at the closing of the business combination or thereafter.

Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Sir Ralf Speth, CEO of Pegasus and the future chairman of the Schmid Group N.V.'s board, comments: "The addition of a high-profile board member like Boo-Keun Yoon is a key step for the Schmid Group as the business combination nears with Pegasus. I am looking forward to working with him on the board following a successful closing in April."
