Item 8.01 Other Events

On May 25, 2021, PTK Acquisition Corp. a Delaware corporation (“PTK”), entered into a business combination agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Valens Semiconductor Ltd., a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (“Valens”) and Valens Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Valens (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into PTK (the “Business Combination”), with PTK surviving the Business Combination as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Valens.

In connection with the Business Combination, Valens filed a registration statement on Form F-4 (Reg. No. 333-257176) (as amended the “Registration Statement”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). On August 27, 2021, the Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC. On August 27, 2021, in connection with the Business Combination, Valens filed a definitive proxy statement/prospectus on Schedule 14A with the SEC relating to PTK’s extraordinary general meeting of stockholders (the “PTK General Meeting”) to be held on September 28, 2021, to consider matters and transactions relating to the Business Combination (the “Definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus”).

Since the initial filing of the Registration Statement, one purported stockholder of PTK filed a complaint in the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, entitled Alessandro v. PTK Acquisition Corp., et al., 21ST-CV-23659 (the “Complaint”). Following this filing, plaintiff sent a demand letter requesting that PTK provide additional disclosures regarding the Business Combination. Three other purported stockholders of PTK sent similar demands requesting additional disclosure regarding the Business Combination (collectively referred to herein as the “Demands”). PTK believes that the allegations in the Complaint and Demands are meritless and no additional disclosure is required in the Definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus. However, in order to avoid nuisance, cost and distraction, and to preclude any efforts to delay the closing of the Business Combination, PTK hereby voluntarily amends and supplements the Definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus with the supplemental disclosures (the “Supplemental Disclosures”) set forth below in this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”). PTK and the PTK Board deny any liability or wrongdoing in connection with the Definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and nothing in this Report should be construed as an admission of the legal necessity or materiality under applicable laws of any of the Supplemental Disclosures.

SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES TO DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS

The Supplemental Disclosures should be read in conjunction with the Definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus, which should be read in its entirety and is available free of charge on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. Page number references below are to page numbers in the Definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus. To the extent the information in the Supplemental Disclosures differs from or conflicts with the information contained in the Definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the information set forth in the Supplemental Disclosures shall be deemed to supersede the respective information in the Definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Underlined text shows text being added to a referenced disclosure in the Definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and deleted text is stricken through.

The disclosure on page 66 of the Definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus is hereby supplemented by amending and restating the fifth paragraph as follows:

On January 4, 2021, representatives of PTK engaged in discussions with representatives of BofA Securities regarding the Valens’ process and related timing. Given Valens’ business and financial developments, market performance of publicly traded comparables in the analog mixed signal and high-performance communications semiconductor business space, and initial public offerings with a focus on autotech and LIDAR technologies, PTK considered revising its valuation. On February 1, 2021, following additional discussions with representatives of BofA Securities regarding valuation perspectives and developments in Valens’ business, PTK emailed BofA Securities a revised draft non-binding letter of intent, which, subject to due diligence, assumed an initial pre-transaction value of $900 million and a PIPE financing of $125 million.

The disclosure on page 67 of the Definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus is hereby supplemented by amending and restating the second paragraph as follows:

On March 24, 2021, Valens entered into an agreement to appoint Citigroup Global Markets Inc., BofA Securities and Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. as lead placement agents for the PIPE. Citigroup Global Markets Inc., BofA Securities and Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. will be entitled to customary fees in their capacity as lead placement agents for the PIPE, with payment due at, and conditioned upon, the closing of the Business Combination. None of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., BofA Securities and Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. were engaged as financial advisors to PTK in connection with the Business Combination or were engaged to issue a fairness opinion in connection with the Business Combination. PTK engaged Chardan Capital Markets, LLC (“Chardan”) as M&A Advisor for the Business Combination, with engagement letter formally executed on April 29, 2021. Chardan was not engaged to issue a fairness opinion in connection with the Business Combination and did not receive any fee or commission in connection with the engagement beyond that to which it was entitled pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, further detailed in the section titled “Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements, 5. Commitments and Contingencies.” Beginning on March 24, 2021, PTK, Valens and the placement agents and their respective counsel began discussing the wall cross procedures and the preparation of confidential investor marketing materials and a proposed timeline to allow potential interested investors to consider participation in the proposed PIPE in connection with the pending business combination.

The disclosure on page 69 of the Definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus is hereby supplemented by amending and restating the ninth bullet as follows:

Attractive Valuation. PTK’s board of directors believes Valens’ implied valuation following the Business Combination relative to the current valuations experienced by comparable publicly traded companies in the vehicle data services sector analog mixed signal and high-performance communications semiconductor business space, including Marvell Technology Group. Ltd., Maxim Integrated Products, Inc., and Texas Instruments Incorporated, is favorable for PTK (which analysis excluded certain outliers). The comparable companies trading analysis focused on median revenue multiples for estimated 2021 expected revenue (2021E), estimated 2022 expected revenue (“2022E”), and estimated 2023 expected revenue (“2023E”), which as of February 2, 2021 were 9.4x, 8.9x, and 8.6x respectively. Applying these multiples, the analysis showed a range of enterprise value of $566 million to $701 million for 2021E, $799 million to $1.001 billion for 2022E, and $1.029 to $1.3 billion for 2023E.

The Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on August 27, 2021 and has been sent to all PTK stockholders and Valens and PTK will also file other documents regarding the proposed Business Combination with the SEC.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws with respect to the proposed Business Combination between PTK and Valens, including statements regarding the benefits of the Business Combination, the anticipated timing of the Business Combination, the products and services offered by Valens and the markets in which it operates, and Valens’ projected future results. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by terminology such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “potentially,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “would,” “project,” “target,” “plan,” “expect,” or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by PTK and its management, and Valens and its

management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially, including but not limited to: (i) the risk that the transaction may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of PTK’s securities, (ii) the risk that the transaction may not be completed by PTK’s business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline if sought by PTK, (iii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the transaction, including the adoption of the Business Combination agreement by the shareholders of PTK and Valens, the satisfaction of the minimum trust account amount following redemptions by PTK’s public shareholders and the receipt of certain governmental and regulatory approvals, (iv) the lack of a third party valuation in determining whether to pursue the proposed Business Combination, (v) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination agreement, (vi) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the transaction on Valens’s business relationships, performance, and business generally, (vii) risks that the proposed Business Combination disrupts current plans of Valens and potential difficulties in Valens employee retention as a result of the proposed transaction, (viii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Valens or against PTK related to the Business Combination agreement or the proposed Business Combination, (ix) the ability of Valens to list Valens ordinary shares on the NYSE, (x) volatility in the price of the combined company’s securities due to a variety of factors, including changes in the competitive and highly regulated industries in which Valens plans to operate, variations in performance across competitors, changes in laws and regulations affecting Valens’s business and changes in the combined capital structure, (xi) the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the completion of the proposed Business Combination, and to identify and realize additional opportunities, and (x) changes in general economic conditions, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of PTK’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Registration Statement on Form F-4 discussed above, the included proxy statement/prospectus and such other documents filed or that may be filed by PTK from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and PTK and Valens assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
