Viveon Health Acquisition Corp. Announces Clarified Contribution Terms in Connection with the Extension Related to Merger Agreement with Suneva Medical

NORCROSS, Ga., Feb. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Viveon Health Acquisition Corp. (NYSE American: VHAQ) ("Viveon Health" or "VHAQ"), a special purpose acquisition company, today announced that it is clarifying certain terms regarding the Annual Meeting of stockholders to be held on March 18, 2022. 

Viveon Health previously announced that on January 12, 2022 it entered into a definitive merger agreement with Suneva Medical, Inc. ("Suneva"), an innovative medical technology company using regenerative medicine to change the standard of care in aesthetic treatments. 

The Annual Meeting will be held to consider and vote upon several proposals including a proposal (the "Extension Proposal") to amend Viveon Health's amended and restated certificate of incorporation to (i) extend the date by which Viveon Health has to consummate a business combination for three months, from March 28, 2022 (the "Original Termination Date") to June 28, 2022 (the "Extended Date"); and (ii) allow Viveon Health, without another stockholder vote, to extend the date to consummate the business combination on a monthly basis for up to six times by an additional one month each time after the Extended Date, if additional time is needed to close a business combination.

Clarification of Amount of Deposits into the Trust Account.

If the Extension Proposal is approved, Viveon Health will, prior to the Original Termination Date, make a deposit of $720,000 into the trust account established in connection with Viveon Health's initial public offering for the aggregate benefit of public shares that are not redeemed by the public stockholders in connection with the Extension Proposal (collectively, the "Remaining Public Shares")

After June 28, 2022 (the "Extended Date"), for each month or portion thereof that is needed by Viveon Health to complete an initial business combination until December 28, 2022, Viveon Health shall deposit $240,000 into the trust account regardless of the number of Remaining Public Shares after redemptions.

Correction of Redemption and Deposit Price per Share.

Since Viveon Health cannot estimate the number of Remaining Public Shares after redemptions, there is no way to determine what these deposits represent on a per share basis or what the redemption price per share may be in the future. References to the redemption price per share of $10.34 and additional monthly deposits into the trust account of $0.04 per Remaining Public Share included in the Proxy Statement are not accurate and should not be relied upon, since Viveon Health cannot estimate the number of Remaining Public Shares that will be outstanding after redemptions. Our public stockholders may seek to redeem their public shares into their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account (net of taxes payable), subject to the limitations described in Viveon Health's prospectus in connection with the initial public offering, dated December 22, 2020.
