PROXY STATEMENT FOR EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS OF

Artisan Acquisition Corp.

and

PROSPECTUS FOR UP TO 127,530,989 CLASS A ORDINARY SHARES, 11,311,390 WARRANTS AND

11,311,390 CLASS A ORDINARY SHARES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF WARRANTS

OF

Prenetics Global Limited

The board of directors of Artisan Acquisition Corp., an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Artisan”), has unanimously approved the Business Combination Agreement, dated September 15, 2021 (as may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among Artisan, Prenetics Global Limited, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“PubCo”), AAC Merger Limited, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Artisan Merger Sub”), PGL Merger Limited, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Prenetics Merger Sub”) and Prenetics Group Limited, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Prenetics”), pursuant to which (i) Artisan shall merge with and into Artisan Merger Sub, with Artisan Merger Sub being the surviving entity and remaining as a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Initial Merger”) and (ii) following the Initial Merger, Prenetics Merger Sub shall merge with and into Prenetics, with Prenetics being the surviving entity and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Acquisition Merger”, and collectively with the Initial Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”). The Business Combination Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A. At the consummation of the Business Combination, PubCo’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Amended PubCo Articles”) shall be substantially in the form attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B.

Artisan shareholders are being asked to consider a vote upon the Business Combination and certain proposals related thereto as described in this proxy statement/prospectus. As a result of, and upon consummation of, the Business Combination, each of Artisan Merger Sub and Prenetics shall be a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo, and PubCo shall become a new public company owned by the prior shareholders of Artisan, the prior shareholders of Prenetics, the Forward Purchase Investors and certain third-party investors (the “PIPE Investors”). PubCo has applied for listing, to be effective upon the consummation of the Initial Merger, of its Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares”) and warrants to purchase PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares (“PubCo Warrants”) on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) under the symbols “PRE” and “PREW,” respectively.

PubCo is a Cayman Islands holding company with operations primarily conducted through its subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, India and South Africa. Accordingly, following the consummation of the Business Combination, Artisan shareholders who do not elect to have their Artisan Public Shares (as defined below) redeemed for cash, the Prenetics shareholders, the Forward Purchase Investors (as defined below) and the PIPE Investors (as defined below) will be holding equity interest in a Cayman Islands holding company and not equity interest in our operating entities.

Recently, the Chinese government announced that it would increase supervision of mainland Chinese firms listed offshore. Under the new measures, China will improve regulation of cross-border data flows and security, police illegal activity in the securities market and punish fraudulent securities issuances, market manipulation and insider trading. China will also monitor sources of funding for securities investment and control leverage ratios. The Cyberspace Administration of China (“CAC”) has also opened a cybersecurity probe into several large U.S.-listed technology companies focusing on anti-monopoly and financial technology regulation and, more recently with the passage of the Data Security Law, how companies collect, store, process and transfer data.

Prenetics currently does not have any business operations in mainland China and does not generate revenues from any business in mainland China. Prenetics controls a PRC domestic entity (the ‘‘VIE Entity’’) through contractual arrangements, and the VIE Entity’s sole asset consists of 45% of the equity interests in a genomics business in mainland China (the “China Investment”). Prenetics has also commenced discussions with the other partners in the China Investment for the Company to dispose of its interest in or wind down the China Investment, and subsequently terminate the agreements governing the VIE Entity. Accordingly, the laws and regulations of the PRC applicable in mainland China do not currently have any material impact on Prenetics’s business, financial condition or results of operations. However, because of Prenetics’s substantial operations in Hong Kong and given the Chinese government’s significant oversight authority over the conduct of business in Hong Kong, there is always a risk that the Chinese government may, in the future, seek to affect operations of any company with any level of operations in mainland China or Hong Kong, including its ability to offer securities to investors, list its securities on a U.S. or other foreign exchange, conduct its business or accept foreign investment. In light of the PRC government’s recent expansion of authority in Hong Kong, there are risks and uncertainties which Prenetics cannot foresee for the time being, and rules and regulations in China can change quickly with little or no advance notice. The PRC government may intervene or influence our current and future operations in Hong Kong and mainland China at any time, or may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in issuers likes Prenetics. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong”.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, upon the consummation of the Initial Merger: (i) each of Artisan’s units (“Units”) (each consisting of one Artisan Public Share and one-third of one Artisan Public Warrant) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Initial Merger (the “Initial Merger Effective Time”) shall be automatically separated and the holder thereof shall be deemed to hold one Artisan Public Share and one-third of an Artisan Public Warrant; provided, that, no fractional Artisan Public Warrants shall be issued in connection with such separation such that if a holder of such Units would be entitled to receive a fractional Artisan Public Warrant upon such separation, the number of Artisan Public Warrants to be issued to such holder upon such separation will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Artisan Public Warrants and no cash will be paid in lieu of such fractional Artisan Public Warrants; (ii) immediately following the separation of each Unit, each Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of Artisan (“Artisan Public Shares”) and each Class B ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of Artisan (“Founder Shares” collectively with Artisan Public Shares, “Artisan Shares”) (excluding Artisan Public Shares that are held by Artisan shareholders that validly exercise their redemption rights, Artisan Shares that are held by Artisan shareholders that exercise and perfect their relevant dissenters’ rights and Artisan treasury shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time shall be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive one newly issued PubCo Class A Ordinary Share; and (iii) each whole warrant of Artisan outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time shall cease to be a warrant with respect to Artisan Public Shares and be assumed by PubCo and converted into a warrant to purchase one PubCo Class A Ordinary Share, subject to substantially the same terms and conditions prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time.

In addition, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, upon the consummation of the Acquisition Merger: (i) each ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share of Prenetics (“Prenetics Ordinary Shares”) and each preferred share, par value $0.0001 per share of Prenetics (“Prenetics Preferred Shares” and collectively with Prenetics Ordinary Shares, “Prenetics Shares”) (excluding Prenetics Shares that are held by Prenetics shareholders that exercise and perfect their relevant dissenters’ rights, Prenetics Shares held by Danny Yeung (“Prenetics Key Executive Shares”) and Prenetics treasury shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Acquisition Merger (the “Acquisition Effective Time”) shall be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive such fraction of a newly issued PubCo Class A Ordinary Share that is equal to the Exchange Ratio (defined below), without interest, subject to rounding up to the nearest whole PubCo Class A Ordinary Share with respect to the total number of PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares to be received by each Prenetics shareholder ; and (ii) each of the Prenetics Key Executive Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Acquisition Merger Time shall be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive such fraction of a newly issued convertible Class B ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share of Pubco (“PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares” and collectively with PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares, “PubCo Ordinary Shares”) that is equal to the Exchange Ratio without interest, subject to rounding up to the nearest whole PubCo Class B Ordinary Share with respect to the total number of PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares to be received by Danny Yeung. The newly issued PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares will have the same economic terms as the newly issued PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares, but each PubCo Class B Ordinary Share will, among other rights, be entitled to twenty (20) votes per share compared with one (1) vote per share for PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares with all PubCo Ordinary Shares voting together as a single class on most matters. See “Description of PubCo Securities.” Mr. Yeung will beneficially own all of the issued PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination.

Substantially concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, Artisan’s Forward Purchase Agreements dated March 1, 2021 were amended by the Deeds of Novation and Amendment as of September 15, 2021, and pursuant to such Deeds of Novation and Amendment, (i) Aspex Master Fund, an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, has agreed to purchase 3,000,000 PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares and 750,000 PubCo Warrants for an aggregate price equal to $30,000,000 immediately prior to the Acquisition Effective Time and (ii) Pacific Alliance Asia Opportunity Fund L.P., an exempted limited partnership formed under the laws of the Cayman Islands (together with Aspex Master Fund, the “Forward Purchase Investors”) has agreed to purchase 3,000,000 PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares and 750,000 PubCo Warrants for an aggregate price equal to $30,000,000 immediately prior to the Acquisition Effective Time.

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, PubCo will become a “controlled company” as defined under the NASDAQ Rules, because it is expected that Mr. Yeung will beneficially own approximately 60.67% of the total voting power of all issued and outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination, assuming that (i) no shareholders of Artisan elect to have their Artisan Public Shares redeemed for cash in connection with the Business Combination as permitted by Artisan’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “No Redemption Scenario”); (ii) no Artisan shareholder exercises its dissenters’ rights; (iii) no Prenetics shareholder exercise its dissenters’ rights; and (iv) no shares underlying Prenetics’s outstanding restricted share units will be issued upon consummation of the Business Combination. Under these assumptions, holders of Artisan Public Shares, Prenetics shareholders (excluding Mr. Yeung), the Forward Purchase Investors, the PIPE Investors, Sponsor and certain Artisan directors and Mr. Yeung will beneficially own 24.57%, 52.35%, 4.89%, 4.34%, 6.69% and 7.16%, respectively, of the total economic interest in PubCo, and will hold 10.41%, 22.18%, 2.07%, 1.84%, 2.83% and 60.67%, respectively, of the total voting power of all issued and outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares, in each case immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination. If the actual facts differ from these assumptions set forth above, these percentages will be different.

The sum of all PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares receivable by Artisan shareholders at the Initial Closing is referred to as “Initial Merger Consideration.” The sum of all the PubCo Ordinary Shares and other securities receivable by Prenetics shareholders at Closing is referred to as “Acquisition Merger Consideration.” The Initial Merger Consideration and the Acquisition Merger Consideration are collectively referred to as the “Shareholder Merger Consideration.” Assuming: (i) the No Redemption Scenario; (ii) no Artisan shareholder exercises its dissenters’ rights; (iii) no Prenetics shareholder exercise its dissenters’ rights; and (iv) no shares underlying Prenetics’s outstanding restricted share units will be issued upon consummation of the Business Combination, the Initial Merger Consideration, the Acquisition Merger Consideration and the Shareholder Merger Consideration consist of 43,917,793, 82,192,158 and 126,109,951 PubCo Ordinary Shares, respectively, or $       , $      and $       , respectively, based upon a closing price of $      per Artisan Public Share on NASDAQ on the assumed Closing Date. If the actual facts differ from these assumptions set forth above, these figures will be different.

Proposals to approve the Business Combination Agreement and the other matters discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus shall be presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders of Artisan scheduled to be held on                 , 2021.

This proxy statement/prospectus provides you with detailed information about the Business Combination and other matters to be considered at the Extraordinary General Meeting of Artisan shareholders. We encourage you to carefully read this entire document.

The board of directors of Artisan (the “Artisan Board”) has unanimously approved and adopted the Business Combination Agreement and unanimously recommends that the Artisan shareholders vote FOR all of the proposals presented to the shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting. When you consider the Artisan Board’s recommendation of these proposals, you should keep in mind that Artisan’s directors and officer have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder.

PRELIMINARY — SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

ARTISAN ACQUISITION CORP.
71 Fort Street, PO Box 500
Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands

Dear Artisan Acquisition Corp. Shareholders:

You are cordially invited to attend the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”) of Artisan Acquisition Corp., an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Artisan”), at           AM           time, on           , 2021 at and virtually over the Internet via live audio webcast at https://www.cstproxy.com/artisanacquisition/​2021, and on such other date and at such other place to which the meeting may be adjourned. While as a matter of Cayman Islands law we are required to have a physical location for the meeting, we are pleased to utilize virtual shareholder meeting technology to (i) provide ready access and cost savings for Artisan shareholders and Artisan and (ii) to promote social distancing pursuant to guidance provided by the SEC due to COVID-19. We encourage shareholders to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting virtually. The virtual meeting format allows attendance from any location in the world. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

The Extraordinary General Meeting shall be held for the following purpose:

1.

to consider and vote upon a proposal, which is referred to herein as the “Business Combination Proposal,” to approve and authorize, the business combination and other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, dated September 15, 2021 (as it may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among Prenetics Global Limited, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“PubCo”), Artisan, AAC Merger Limited, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Artisan Merger Sub”), PGL Merger Limited, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Prenetics Merger Sub”) and Prenetics Group Limited, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Prenetics”). The Business Combination Agreement is attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A;

​

2.

to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve and authorize, assuming the Business Combination Proposal is approved and adopted, the Initial Merger and the Plan of Initial Merger by and among Artisan, Artisan Merger Sub and PubCo, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit F to the Business Combination Agreement (the “Initial Merger Proposal”); and

​

3.

to consider and vote upon, if presented, a proposal to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve one or more proposals presented to shareholders for a vote or if holders of Artisan Public Shares, have elected to redeem an amount of Artisan Public Shares such that the minimum available cash condition contained in the Business Combination Agreement would not be satisfied (the “Adjournment Proposal”).

​

The Business Combination Proposal and, if presented, the Adjournment Proposal shall require approval by the Artisan shareholders as an ordinary resolution. The Initial Merger Proposal shall require approval by the Artisan shareholders as a special resolution. Only holders of record of Artisan Shares at the close of business on           , 2021 (the “record date”) are entitled to notice of the Extraordinary General Meeting and to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the Extraordinary General Meeting.

As further described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, the following transactions will occur:

1.

(i) Artisan shall merge with and into Artisan Merger Sub, with Artisan Merger Sub being the

​

 

 

surviving entity and remaining as a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo and (ii) following the Initial Merger, Prenetics Merger Sub shall merge with and into Prenetics, with Prenetics being the surviving entity and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo; and

2.

(i) each of the Units (each consisting of one Artisan Public Share and one-third of one Artisan Public Warrant) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time shall be automatically separated and the holder thereof shall be deemed to hold one Artisan Public Share and one-third of an Artisan Public Warrant; provided that, no fractional Artisan Public Warrants shall be issued in connection with such separation such that if a holder of such Units would be entitled to receive a fractional Artisan Public Warrant upon such separation, the number of Artisan Public Warrants to be issued to such holder upon such separation will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Artisan Public Warrants and no cash will be paid in lieu of such fractional Artisan Public Warrants; (ii) immediately following the separation of each Unit, each Artisan Share (excluding Artisan Public Shares that are held by Artisan shareholders that validly exercise their redemption rights, Artisan Shares that are held by Artisan shareholders that exercise and perfect their relevant dissenters’ rights and Artisan treasury shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Initial Merger shall be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive one newly issued PubCo Class A Ordinary Share; and (iii) each whole warrant of Artisan outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time shall cease to be a warrant with respect to Artisan Public Shares and be assumed by PubCo and converted into a warrant to purchase one PubCo Class A Ordinary Share, subject to substantially the same terms and conditions prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time.

​

3.

(i) each Prenetics Share (excluding Prenetics Shares that are held by Prenetics shareholders that exercise and perfect their relevant dissenters’ rights, Prenetics Key Executive Shares and Prenetics treasury shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Acquisition Effective Time shall be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive such fraction of a newly issued PubCo Class A Ordinary Share that is equal to the Exchange Ratio without interest subject to rounding; and (ii) each of the Prenetics Key Executive Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Acquisition Effective Time shall be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive such fraction of a newly issued PubCo Class B Ordinary Share that is equal to the Exchange Ratio without interest subject to rounding.

​

Substantially concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, Artisan’s Forward Purchase Agreements dated March 1, 2021 were amended by the Deeds of Novation and Amendment and restated as of September 15, 2021, and pursuant to such Deeds of Novation and Amendment, (i) Aspex Master Fund, an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, has agreed to purchase 3,000,000 PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares and 750,000 PubCo Warrants for an aggregate price equal to $30,000,000 immediately prior to the Acquisition Effective Time and (ii) Pacific Alliance Asia Opportunity Fund L.P., an exempted limited partnership formed under the laws of the Cayman Islands has agreed to purchase 3,000,000 PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares and 750,000 PubCo Warrants for an aggregate price equal to $30,000,000 immediately prior to the Acquisition Effective Time.

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, certain PIPE Investors have entered into share subscription agreements (“PIPE Subscription Agreements”), pursuant to which the PIPE Investors agreed to subscribe for and purchase PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares at $10.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $60,000,000 (the “PIPE Investment”).

Under the Business Combination Agreement, the approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the Initial Merger Proposal by the requisite vote of Artisan shareholders is a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination. If either of these proposals is not approved by Artisan shareholders, the Business Combination shall not be consummated.

The Adjournment Proposal, if adopted, shall allow the chairman of the Extraordinary General Meeting to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary. In no event shall Artisan solicit proxies to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting or consummate the Business Combination and related transactions beyond the date by which it may properly do so under Artisan’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Artisan Articles”) and the Companies

 

 

Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands (the “Cayman Islands Companies Act”). The purpose of the Adjournment Proposal is to provide more time to meet the requirements that are necessary to consummate the Business Combination and related transactions. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal set forth in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

Each of these proposals is more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, which each shareholder is encouraged to read carefully and in its entirety.

In connection with the Business Combination, certain related agreements have been entered into prior to the closing of the Business Combination, including the PIPE Subscription Agreements, the Prenetics Shareholder Support Agreements, the Shareholder Support Agreement Joinder, the Sponsor Support Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement, and the Deeds of Novation and Amendment (each as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/​prospectus). See “Agreements Entered Into in Connection with the Business Combination” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for more information.

Pursuant to the Artisan Articles, a holder (“Artisan Public Shareholder”) of Artisan Public Shares issued as part of the Units in Artisan’s initial public offering (“IPO”) may request that Artisan redeem all or a portion of such Artisan Public Shares for cash in connection with the completion of the Business Combination. Holders of Units must elect to separate the Units into the underlying Artisan Public Shares and Artisan Public Warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the Artisan Public Shares. If holders hold their Units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the Units into the underlying Artisan Public Shares and Artisan Public Warrants, or if a holder holds Units registered in its own name, the holder must contact Continental, directly and instruct it to do so. The redemption rights include the requirement that a beneficial holder must identify itself in writing as a beneficial holder and provide its legal name, phone number and address to Continental in order to validly redeem its shares. Artisan Public Shareholders are not required to affirmatively vote for or against the Business Combination Proposal, to vote on the Business Combination Proposal at all, or to be holders of record on the record date in order to have their Artisan Public Shares redeemed. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the Artisan Public Shares will not be redeemed and will instead be returned to the respective holder, broker or bank. In such case, Artisan shareholders may only share in the assets of the trust account upon the liquidation of Artisan. This may result in Artisan shareholders receiving less than they would have received if the Business Combination was completed and they had exercised redemption rights in connection therewith due to potential claims of creditors. If the Business Combination is consummated, and if an Artisan Public Shareholder properly exercises its right to redeem all or a portion of the Artisan Public Shares that it holds, Artisan will redeem such Artisan Public Shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the pro rata portion of the amount on deposit in the trust account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to Artisan to pay income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses). For illustrative purposes, as of            , 2021, this would have amounted to approximately $     per issued and outstanding Artisan Public Share. If an Artisan Public Shareholder exercises its redemption rights in full, then it will be electing to exchange its Artisan Public Shares for cash and will no longer own Artisan Public Shares (but will continue to own any Artisan Public Warrants it may hold). See “Extraordinary General Meeting of Artisan Shareholders — Redemption Rights” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your Artisan Public Shares for cash.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Artisan Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such Artisan Public Shareholder or any other person with whom such Artisan Public Shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” ​(as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Artisan Public Shares without the prior consent of Artisan. Accordingly, if an Artisan Public Shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the Artisan Public Shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

The Sponsor has agreed to, among other things, vote all of their Artisan Shares in favor of the proposals being presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting in connection with the Business Combination and waive their redemption rights with respect to their Artisan Shares in connection with the

 

 

consummation of the Business Combination. The Forward Purchase Investors have also agreed to, among other things, vote all of their Artisan Shares in favor of the proposals being presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting in connection with the Business Combination and waive their redemption rights with respect to all of the Founder Shares held by them in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, on an as-converted basis, the Sponsor, Artisan directors and the Forward Purchase Investors own, collectively, approximately 22.73% of the issued and outstanding Artisan Shares.

The Business Combination Agreement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain other closing conditions as described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. There can be no assurance that the parties to the Business Combination Agreement would waive any such closing condition. In addition, in no event will Artisan redeem Artisan Public Shares in an amount that would cause Artisan’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) to be less than $5,000,001 after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and PIPE Financing.

Artisan is providing the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus and accompanying proxy card to Artisan shareholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the Extraordinary General Meeting and at any adjournments or postponements of the Extraordinary General Meeting. Information about the Extraordinary General Meeting, the Business Combination and other related business to be considered by Artisan shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting is included in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. Whether or not you plan to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting, all of Artisan shareholders should read the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and other documents referred to therein, carefully and in their entirety. You should also carefully consider the risk factors described in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 51 of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

After careful consideration, the Artisan Board has unanimously approved the Business Combination and determined that the Business Combination Proposal, the Initial Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are advisable and fair to and in the best interest of Artisan and unanimously recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the Initial Merger Proposal and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, if presented. When you consider the Artisan Board’s recommendation of these proposals, you should keep in mind that our directors and our officer have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with, or are different from, your interests as a shareholder of Artisan. See “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Artisan’s Directors and Officer in the Business Combination.” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for a further discussion of these considerations.

The approval of the Business Combination Proposal will require an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law and the Artisan Articles, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Artisan Shares entitled to vote, who attend, in person or by proxy, and vote thereupon at the Extraordinary General Meeting. The approval of the Initial Merger Proposal will require a special resolution under Cayman Islands law and the Artisan Articles, being the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the issued and outstanding Artisan Shares entitled to vote, who attend, in person or by proxy, and vote thereupon at the Extraordinary General Meeting. The approval of the Adjournment Proposal, if presented, will require an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law and the Artisan Articles, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Artisan Shares entitled to vote, who attend, in person or by proxy, and vote thereupon at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Brokers are not entitled to vote on the Business Combination Proposal, the Initial Merger Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal absent voting instructions from the beneficial holder. An abstention or broker non-vote will be counted towards the quorum requirement but will not count as a vote cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Your vote is important regardless of the number of Artisan Shares you own. Whether or not you plan to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting, please complete, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card as soon as possible in the pre-addressed postage paid envelope provided and in any event so as to be received by Artisan no later than at                 AM                 time, on                 , 2021, being 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the Extraordinary General Meeting (or, in the case of an adjournment, no later than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the adjourned meeting) to make sure that your Artisan Shares are represented at the Extraordinary General Meeting. If your Artisan Shares

 

 

are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that votes related to the Artisan Shares you beneficially own are properly counted. The Business Combination will be consummated only if the Business Combination Proposal and the Initial Merger Proposal are approved at the Extraordinary General Meeting. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal set forth in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

If you sign, date and return your proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your proxy will be voted FOR each of the proposals presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting. If you are a shareholder of record and fail to return your proxy card and do not attend the Extraordinary General Meeting in person (including virtually), or if you fail to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote the Artisan Shares you beneficially own, the effect will be, among other things, that your Artisan Shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Extraordinary General Meeting and will not be voted.

TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS, YOU MUST DEMAND IN WRITING THAT ARTISAN REDEEM YOUR ARTISAN PUBLIC SHARES FOR A PRO RATA PORTION OF THE FUNDS HELD IN THE TRUST ACCOUNT AND EITHER TENDER YOUR SHARE CERTIFICATES (IF ANY) TO CONTINENTAL STOCK TRANSFER & TRUST COMPANY, ARTISAN’S TRANSFER AGENT OR DELIVER YOUR ARTISAN PUBLIC SHARES TO THE TRANSFER AGENT ELECTRONICALLY USING THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY’S DWAC (DEPOSIT WITHDRAWAL AT CUSTODIAN) SYSTEM, IN EACH CASE AT LEAST TWO BUSINESS DAYS PRIOR TO THE VOTE AT THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING. ANY HOLDER THAT HOLDS ARTISAN PUBLIC SHARES BENEFICIALLY THROUGH A NOMINEE MUST IDENTIFY ITSELF AS A BENEFICIAL HOLDER AND PROVIDE ITS LEGAL NAME, PHONE NUMBER AND ADDRESS IN ITS WRITTEN DEMAND IN ORDER TO VALIDLY REDEEM SUCH SHARES. IF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION IS NOT COMPLETED, THEN THESE SHARES SHALL BE RETURNED TO YOU OR YOUR ACCOUNT. IF YOU HOLD YOUR ARTISAN PUBLIC SHARES IN “STREET NAME”, YOU NEED TO INSTRUCT THE ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE AT YOUR BROKER, BANK OR OTHER NOMINEE TO WITHDRAW THE SHARES FROM YOUR ACCOUNT IN ORDER TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS. SEE “EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF ARTISAN SHAREHOLDERS — REDEMPTION RIGHTS” FOR MORE SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS.

If you have any questions or need assistance voting your Artisan Shares, please contact           . Questions can also be sent by email to                 .

On behalf of Artisan’s board of directors, I would like to thank you for your support and look forward to the successful completion of the Business Combination.

We also will transact any other business as may properly come before the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Under the Business Combination Agreement, the approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the Initial Merger Proposal by the requisite vote of Artisan shareholders is a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination. If either of these proposals is not approved by Artisan shareholders, the Business Combination shall not be consummated. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal listed above. The Business Combination is also subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain other closing conditions as described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. There can be no assurance that the parties to the Business Combination Agreement would waive any such provision of the Business Combination Agreement.

These items of business are more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, which we encourage you to read in its entirety before voting.

Only holders of record of Artisan ordinary shares (“Artisan Shares”) at the close of business on                 , 2021 (the “record date”) are entitled to notice of the Extraordinary General Meeting and to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Whether or not you plan to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting, all of Artisan shareholders are urged to read the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and the documents referred to herein, carefully and in their entirety. You should also carefully consider the risk factors described in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 51 of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

After careful consideration, the Artisan Board has unanimously approved the Business Combination and determined that the Business Combination Proposal, the Initial Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are advisable and fair to and in the best interest of Artisan and unanimously recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the Initial Merger Proposal and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, if presented. When you consider the Artisan Board’s recommendation of these proposals, you should keep in mind that our directors and our officer have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with, or are different from, your interests as a shareholder of Artisan. See “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Artisan’s Directors and Officer in the Business Combination” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for a further discussion of these considerations.

All Artisan shareholders at the close of business on the record date are cordially invited to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting, which shall be held at                 AM                 time, on                 , 2021 at          and virtually over the Internet via live audio webcast at https://www.cstproxy.com/artisanacquisition/2021.

In the case of joint shareholders, where more than one of the joint shareholder purports to appoint a proxy, only the appointment submitted by the most senior holder (being the first named holder in respect of the shares in Artisan’s register of members) will be accepted. Submitting a proxy now will NOT prevent you from being able to attend and vote online during the virtual meeting. If you hold your Artisan Shares in “street name” or in a margin or similar account, which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or nominee, you must instruct your broker or bank on how to vote the Artisan Shares you beneficially own or, if you wish to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting and vote by means of remote communication, you must obtain a proxy from the shareholder of record and e-mail a copy (a legible photograph is sufficient) of your proxy to proxy@continentalstock.com no later than 72 hours prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting.

If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker or bank to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted.

ABOUT THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS

This document, which forms part of a registration statement on Form F-4 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the “SEC,” by PubCo, constitutes a prospectus of PubCo under Section 5 of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the “Securities Act,” with respect to the PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares to be issued to Artisan shareholders, the PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares to be issued to certain Prenetics shareholders, the PubCo Warrants to be issued to Artisan warrant holders and the PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares underlying such warrants, if the Business Combination described herein is consummated. This document also constitutes a notice of meeting and a proxy statement under Section 14(a) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), with respect to the Extraordinary General Meeting of Artisan shareholders at which Artisan shareholders shall be asked to consider and vote upon proposals to approve the Business Combination Proposal and the Initial Merger Proposal (as defined herein) and to adjourn the meeting, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies because there are not sufficient votes to adopt the Business Combination Proposal or the Initial Merger Proposal.

References to “U.S. Dollars”, “US$” and “$” in this proxy statement/prospectus are to United States dollars, the legal currency of the United States. Discrepancies in any table between totals and sums of the amounts listed are due to rounding. Certain amounts and percentages have been rounded; consequently, certain figures may add up to be more or less than the total amount and certain percentages may add up to be more or less than 100% due to rounding. In particular and without limitation, amounts expressed in millions contained in this proxy statement/prospectus have been rounded to a single decimal place for the convenience of readers.

INDUSTRY AND MARKET DATA

The industry and market position information that appears in this proxy statement/prospectus is from independent market research carried out by Frost & Sullivan, which was commissioned by Prenetics. This information involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to these estimates.

Such information is supplemented where necessary with Prenetics’s own internal estimates and information obtained from discussions with its customers, taking into account publicly available information about other industry participants and Prenetics’s management’s judgment where information is not publicly available. This information appears in “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus,” “Prenetics’s Market Opportunities,” “Prenetics’s Business” and “Prenetics Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and other sections of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Industry reports, publications, research, studies and forecasts generally state that the information they contain has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but that the accuracy and completeness of such information is not guaranteed. In some cases, we do not expressly refer to the sources from which this data is derived. While we have compiled, extracted, and reproduced industry data from these sources, we have not independently verified the data. We are responsible for the industry and market data contained in this proxy statement/prospectus. Forecasts and other forward-looking information obtained from these sources are subject to the same qualifications and uncertainties as the other forward-looking statements in this proxy statement/prospectus. These forecasts and forward-looking information are subject to uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described under “Risk Factors.” These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in any forecasts or estimates.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

Artisan

The historical financial statements of Artisan were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and are denominated in U.S. Dollars.

Prenetics

The audited consolidated financial statements of Prenetics and its subsidiaries as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, included in this proxy statement/prospectus have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and are presented in U.S. Dollars. Prenetics underwent certain corporate restructuring through which Prenetics Limited became a wholly owned subsidiary of Prenetics upon the completion of the restructuring in June 2021. As Prenetics had no operations or material assets prior to the restructuring, the restructuring only involves the insertion of Prenetics as a new shell holding company and the financial statements of Prenetics for the periods prior to the corporate restructuring will be substantially identical to the financial statements of Prenetics Limited. Accordingly, the references to the historical consolidated financial statements of Prenetics in this proxy statement/prospectus have been prepared on a basis as if the corporate restructuring had happened on January 1, 2019, and the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and its profit or loss for the years then ended represent the continuation of the consolidated financial statements of Prenetics Limited.

PubCo

PubCo was incorporated on July 21, 2021, for the sole purpose of effectuating the transactions described herein. PubCo has no material assets and does not operate any businesses. Accordingly, no financial statements of PubCo have been included in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The Business Combination is made up of the series of transactions provided for in the Business Combination Agreement as described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. Notwithstanding the legal form, for accounting purposes the Business Combination will be an equity-settled share-based payment transaction where Prenetics as the accounting acquirer issues consideration in exchange of the net assets and listing status of Artisan as the accounting acquiree. The net assets of Prenetics will be stated at their pre-combinaton carrying amounts and any excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred over the fair value of Artisan's identifiable net assets acquired represents an expense for the listing status.

Immediately following the Business Combination, PubCo will qualify as a foreign private issuer and will prepare its consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS.

Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and the comparative per share information that will be presented in this proxy statement/prospectus is prepared and presented to reflect the accounting for the Business Combination under IFRS.

Q:

What proposals are shareholders of Artisan being asked to vote upon?

​

A:

At the Extraordinary General Meeting, Artisan is asking holders of its ordinary shares to consider and vote upon the following proposals:

​

•

Business Combination Proposal — To adopt the Business Combination Agreement and approve the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated thereby. See “The Business Combination Proposal.”

​

•

Initial Merger Proposal — To authorize the Initial Merger and the Plan of Initial Merger. See “The Initial Merger Proposal.”

​

•

Adjournment Proposal — To adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates to permit further solicitation and voting of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve one or more proposals presented to shareholders for a vote or if holders of Artisan Public Shares, have elected to redeem an amount of Artisan Public Shares such that the minimum available cash condition contained in the Business Combination Agreement would not be satisfied. See “The Adjournment Proposal.”

​

•

Artisan shall hold the Extraordinary General Meeting of its shareholders to consider and vote upon these proposals. This proxy statement/prospectus contains important information about the proposed Business Combination and the other matters to be acted upon at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Shareholders should read it carefully.

​

The vote of Artisan shareholders is important. Artisan shareholders are encouraged to submit their completed proxy card as soon as possible after carefully reviewing this proxy statement/prospectus.

Q:

Why is Artisan providing shareholders with the opportunity to vote on the Business Combination?

​

A:

Pursuant to the Artisan Articles, Artisan is required to provide Artisan Public Shareholders with an opportunity to have their Artisan Public Shares redeemed for cash upon the consummation of its initial

​

 

8

 

business combination, either in conjunction with a shareholder vote or tender offer. Due to the structure of the Business Combination, Artisan is providing this opportunity in conjunction with a shareholder vote.

Q:

Why is Artisan proposing the Business Combination?

​

A:

Artisan was incorporated to effect a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities.

​

Based on its due diligence investigations of Prenetics and the industries in which it operates, including the financial and other information provided by Prenetics in the course of Artisan’s due diligence investigations, the Artisan Board believes that the Business Combination with Prenetics is in the best interests of Artisan and presents an opportunity to increase shareholder value. However, there can be no assurances of this. Although the Artisan Board believes that the Business Combination with Prenetics presents a unique business combination opportunity and is in the best interests of Artisan, the Artisan Board did consider certain potentially material negative factors in arriving at that conclusion. See “The Business Combination Proposal — The Artisan Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination” for a discussion of the factors considered by the Artisan Board in making its decision.

Q:

Did the Artisan Board obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination?

​

A:

No. The Artisan Board did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with its determination to approve the Business Combination. However, Artisan’s management, the members of the Artisan Board and the other representatives of Artisan have substantial experience in evaluating the operating and financial merits of companies similar to Prenetics and reviewed certain financial information of Prenetics and other relevant financial information selected based on the experience and the professional judgment of Artisan’s management team, which enabled them to make the necessary analyses and determinations regarding the Business Combination. Accordingly, investors will be relying solely on the judgment of the Artisan Board in valuing Prenetics’s business and assume the risk that the Artisan Board may not have properly valued such business.

​

Q:

What is expected to happen in the Business Combination?

​

A:

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, (i) Artisan shall merge with and into Artisan Merger Sub, with Artisan Merger Sub being the surviving entity and remaining as a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo, and (ii) following the Initial Merger, Prenetics Merger Sub shall merge with and into Prenetics, with Prenetics being the surviving entity and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo.

​

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, upon the consummation of the Initial Merger: (i) each Unit (each consisting of one Artisan Public Share and one-third of one Artisan Public Warrant included as part of such unit) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time shall be automatically separated and the holder thereof shall be deemed to hold one Artisan Public Share and one-third of one Artisan Public Warrant; provided, that, no fractional Artisan Public Warrants shall be issued in connection with such separation such that if a holder of such Units would be entitled to receive a fractional Artisan Public Warrant upon such separation, the number of Artisan Public Warrants to be issued to such holder upon such separation will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Artisan Public Warrants and no cash will be paid in lieu of such fractional Artisan Public Warrants; (ii) immediately following the separation of each Unit, each Artisan Share (excluding Artisan Public Shares that are held by Artisan shareholders that validly exercise their redemption rights, Artisan Shares that are held by Artisan shareholders that exercise and perfect their relevant dissenters’ rights and Artisan treasury shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Initial Merger shall be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive one newly issued PubCo Class A Ordinary Share; and (iii) each whole Artisan Warrant outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time shall cease to be a warrant with respect to Artisan Public Shares and be assumed by PubCo and converted into a warrant to purchase one PubCo Class A Ordinary Share, subject to substantially the same terms and conditions prior to the effective time of the Initial Merger.

Aspex Master Fund, an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, has agreed to purchase 3,000,000 PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares and 750,000 PubCo Warrants for an aggregate price equal to $30,000,000 immediately prior to the Acquisition Effective Time and Pacific Alliance Asia Opportunity Fund L.P., an exempted limited partnership formed under the laws of the Cayman Islands (together with Aspex Master Fund, the “Forward Purchase Investors”), has agreed to purchase 3,000,000 PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares and 750,000 PubCo Warrants for an aggregate price equal to $30,000,000 immediately prior to the Acquisition Effective Time.

In addition, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, upon the consummation of the Acquisition Merger: (i) each Prenetics Share (excluding shares that are held by Prenetics shareholders that exercise and perfect their relevant dissenters’ rights, the Prenetics Key Executive Shares and Prenetics treasury shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Acquisition Effective Time shall be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive such fraction of a newly issued PubCo Class A Ordinary Share that is equal to the Exchange Ratio, without interest, subject to rounding up to the nearest whole PubCo Class A Ordinary Share with respect to the total number of PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares to be received by each Prenetics shareholder; and (ii) each Prenetics Key Executive Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Acquisition Effective Time shall be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive such fraction of a newly issued PubCo Class B Ordinary Share that is equal to the Exchange Ratio, without interest, subject to rounding up to the nearest whole PubCo Class B Ordinary Share with respect to the total number of PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares to be received by Danny Yeung; (iii) each Prenetics RSU outstanding immediately prior to the Acquisition Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall be automatically assumed by PubCo and converted into an award of restricted share units representing the right to receive the number of PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares equal to (x) the number of Prenetics Ordinary Shares subject to such Prenetics RSU immediately prior to the Acquisition Effective Time multiplied by (x) the Exchange Ratio (such product rounded down to the nearest whole number), and otherwise, shall be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Prenetics RSU immediately prior to the Acquisition Effective Time; and (iv) each Prenetics Key Executive RSU outstanding immediately prior to the Acquisition Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall be automatically assumed by PubCo and converted into an award of restricted share units representing the right to receive the number of PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares equal to (A) the number of Prenetics Ordinary Shares subject to such Prenetics Key Executive RSU immediately prior to the Acquisition Effective Time multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio (such product rounded down to the nearest whole number), and otherwise, shall be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Prenetics Key Executive RSU immediately prior to the Acquisition Effective Time. For more information on the Initial Merger and the Acquisition Merger, see “The Business Combination Proposal” and “The Initial Merger Proposal”. For further information on PubCo’s securities upon consummation of the Business Combination, see “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to PubCo and Ownership of PubCo’s Shares — PubCo’s dual-class voting structure may limit your ability to influence corporate matters and could discourage others from pursuing any change of control transactions that holders of PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares may view as beneficial,” and “Description of PubCo Securities — Ordinary Shares.”

In addition, concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, certain PIPE Investors entered into share subscription agreements with Artisan and PubCo, pursuant to which they agreed to subscribe for and purchase PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares at $10.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $60,000,000. The closing of the PIPE Investment is contingent upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the Mergers.

Q:

What shall be the relative equity stakes of Artisan shareholders, Prenetics shareholders and the PIPE Investors upon completion of the Business Combination?

​

A:

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, PubCo shall become a new public company and each of Artisan Merger Sub and Prenetics shall be a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo. The former security holders of Artisan, including the Forward Purchase Investors, the former security holders of Prenetics and the PIPE Investors shall all become security holders of PubCo.

​

Pursuant to the Artisan Articles, in connection with the completion of the Business Combination, Artisan Public Shareholders may elect to have their Artisan Public Shares redeemed for cash at the

 

10

 

applicable redemption price per share calculated in accordance with the Artisan Articles. Payment for such redemptions shall come from the trust account.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, assuming that (i) no Artisan shareholder exercises its dissenters’ rights; (ii) no Prenetics shareholder exercises its dissenters’ rights; and (iii) no shares underlying Prenetics’s outstanding restricted share units will be issued upon consummation of the Business Combination, the post-Closing share ownership of PubCo would be as follows under (1) the No Redemption Scenario; and (2) the scenario where 25,931,200 Artisan Public Shares are redeemed for aggregate redemption payments of $259,312,000, assuming a $10.00 per share Redemption Price and based on funds in the Trust Account and working capital available to Artisan as of June 30, 2021, which is based on a condition to the Closing under the Business Combination, at the Closing, the cash proceeds from the trust account established for the purpose of holding the net proceeds of Artisan’s initial public offering, plus cash proceeds from the PIPE Investments, plus cash proceeds under the Forward Purchase Agreements, plus any amount raised pursuant to permitted equity financings prior to closing of the Acquisition Merger in the aggregate equaling no less than $200,000,000 (the “Maximum Redemption Scenario”):

(1)

The share amounts and ownership and voting power percentages set forth above do not take into account (i) warrants that will remain outstanding immediately following the Business Combination and may be exercised thereafter to acquire PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares and (ii) any outstanding Prenetics RSUs, vested or unvested, that were assumed by PubCo upon the completion of the Business Combination. If the actual facts are different than the assumptions set forth above, the share amounts and percentage ownership numbers set forth above will be different.

​

(2)

For a more detailed description of share ownership upon consummation of the Business Combination, see “Beneficial Ownership of Securities.”

​

(3)

In both the No Redemption Scenario and the Maximum Redemption Scenario, the payment of deferred underwriting fees incurred as part of the IPO will be $11,876,982.

​

(4)

Each PubCo Class A Ordinary Share is entitled to one vote per share. Each PubCo Class B Ordinary Share is entitled to twenty (20) votes per share.

​

(5)

The share amounts reflect the transfer of 750,000 Founder Shares of Artisan from the Sponsor to the Forward Purchase Investors in connection with the Forward Purchase Agreements. These Founder Shares will be subsequently converted into PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares upon completion of the Business Combination and are included in the total PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares owned by the Forward Purchase Investors.

​

Artisan Public Shareholders who do not elect to redeem their Artisan Public Shares (“Non-redeeming Artisan Public Shareholders”) in connection with the Business Combination may experience dilution of their equity position by (1) issuance of additional PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of (i) up to 5,857,898 Artisan Private Warrants issued to the Sponsor in the IPO and the over-allotment option exercise, which could dilute the equity interest of Non-redeeming Artisan Public Shareholders in PubCo by 1.00% to 23.57% assuming no redemptions by Artisan Public Shareholders and there are no Dissenting Artisan Shareholders (or by 0.35% to 6.78% assuming maximum redemptions by Artisan

 

11

 

Public Shareholders), (ii) up to 200,000 Artisan Private Warrants issuable to the Sponsor pursuant to the Second Promissory Note (as defined below) dated August 16, 2021, which could dilute the equity interest of Non-redeeming Artisan Public Shareholders in PubCo by 0.04% to 24.53% assuming no redemptions by Artisan Public Shareholders and there are no Dissenting Artisan Shareholders (or by 0.01% to 7.12% assuming maximum redemptions by Artisan Public Shareholders), (iii) up to 11,311,390 Artisan Public Warrants held by Artisan Public Shareholders, whether or not they elect to redeem their Artisan Public Shares, or by other holders of Artisan Public Warrants, which could dilute the equity interest of Non-redeeming Artisan Public Shareholders in PubCo by 1.86% to 22.71% assuming no redemptions by Artisan Public Shareholders and there are no Dissenting Artisan Shareholders (or by 0.65% to 6.48% assuming maximum redemptions by Artisan Public Shareholders), and (iv) up to 1,500,000 PubCo Warrants held by the Forward Purchase Investors, which could dilute the equity interest of Non-redeeming Artisan Public Shareholders in PubCo by 0.26% to 24.31% assuming no redemptions by Artisan Public Shareholders and there are no Dissenting Artisan Shareholders (or by 0.09% to 7.04% assuming maximum redemptions by Artisan Public Shareholders); and (2) issuance of additional PubCo securities that are issuable upon the exercise of all Prenetics RSUs, options, warrants, convertible notes and other equity securities of Prenetics that are outstanding or may be issued in the future in connection with the Prenetics 2021 Plan, the PubCo 2021 Share Incentive Plan and potential fund raising, acquisitions or strategic alliances by Prenetics, including an aggregate of 1,164,648 shares to be issued by Prenetics as deferred consideration for Prenetics’s acquisition of Oxsed Limited. For a more detailed description of share ownership upon consummation of the Business Combination, see “Beneficial Ownership of Securities.”

​

A:

Certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to you in respect of the Business Combination are discussed in more detail in the section titled “Material Tax Considerations.” The discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences contained in this proxy statement/​prospectus is intended to provide only a general discussion and is not a complete analysis or description of all of the U.S. federal income tax considerations that are applicable to you in respect of the Business Combination, nor does it address any tax considerations arising under U.S. state or local or non-U.S. tax laws. You are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the Business Combination.

​

Q:

What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising my redemption rights?

​

A:

The receipt of cash by a U.S. holder of Artisan Shares on redemption of such shares will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Please see “Material Tax Considerations —  U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations to U.S. Holders — Redemption of Artisan Public Shares” for additional information. You are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of exercising your redemption rights.

Q:

How many votes do I have at the Extraordinary General Meeting?

​

A:

Artisan shareholders are entitled to one vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting for each Artisan Share held of record as of close of business on           , 2021, the record date for the Extraordinary General Meeting (the “record date”). As of the close of business on the record date, there were          Artisan Public Shares and           Founder Shares outstanding and entitled to vote.

​

Q:

What vote is required to approve the proposals presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting?

​

The following votes are required for each proposal at the Extraordinary General Meeting:

•

Business Combination Proposal — The approval of the Business Combination Proposal will require an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law and the Artisan Articles, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Artisan Shares entitled to vote, who attend, in person or by proxy, and vote thereupon at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

​

•

Initial Merger Proposal — The approval of the Initial Merger Proposal will require a special resolution under Cayman Islands law and the Artisan Articles, being the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the issued and outstanding Artisan Shares entitled to vote, who attend, in person or by proxy, and vote thereupon at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

​

•

Adjournment Proposal — The approval of the Adjournment Proposal, if presented, will require an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law and the Artisan Articles, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Artisan Shares entitled to vote, who attend, in person or by proxy, and vote thereupon at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

​

If you are an Artisan shareholder that attends the Extraordinary General Meeting and fails to vote on the Business Combination Proposal, Initial Merger Proposal or Adjournment Proposal, or if you respond to such proposals with an “abstain” vote, your failure to vote or “abstain” vote in each case will have no effect on the vote count for such proposals. Brokers are not entitled to vote on the Business Combination Proposal, the Initial Merger Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal absent voting instructions from the beneficial holder. An abstention or broker non-vote will be counted towards the quorum requirement but will not count as a vote cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Q:

What constitutes a quorum at the Extraordinary General Meeting?

​

A:

A quorum shall be present at the Extraordinary General Meeting if one or more shareholders holding not less than one-third of the issued and outstanding Artisan Shares entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting are present in person or by proxy. If a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the Extraordinary General Meeting to commence or if during the meeting a quorum ceases to be present, the meeting shall stand adjourned to the same day in the next week at the same time and place or to such other day, time and/or place as the directors of Artisan may determine, and if at the adjourned meeting a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting to commence, the Artisan shareholders present shall be a quorum.

​

As of the record date, 14,639,265 Artisan Shares would be required to achieve a quorum.

Q:

How do holders of Artisan’s Founder Shares intend to vote on the proposals?

​

A:

Holders of the Founder Shares beneficially own and are entitled to vote an aggregate of approximately 22.73% of the outstanding Artisan Shares. These holders are required by certain agreements to vote

​

 

13

 

their shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal, the Initial Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, if presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Q:

What interests do Artisan’s Directors and Officer have in the Business Combination?

​

A:

When considering the Artisan Board’s recommendation to vote in favor of approving the Business Combination Proposal and the Initial Merger Proposal, Artisan shareholders should keep in mind that Sponsor and Artisan’s directors and officer have interests in such proposals that are different from, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), those of Artisan shareholders and warrantholders generally. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

​

•

the fact that the Sponsor and Artisan’s directors and officer have agreed not to redeem any Artisan Shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve the proposed Business Combination;

​

•

the fact that the Sponsor and certain of Artisan’s directors are anticipated to hold 6.7% of the equity interest and 2.8% of the voting power in PubCo immediately after the Business Combination, assuming no redemptions by Artisan Public Shareholders and there are no Dissenting Artisan Shareholders (or 8.2% of the equity interest and 3.1% of the voting power in PubCo immediately after the Business Combination, assuming maximum redemptions by Artisan Public Shareholders);

​

•

the fact that the Sponsor and Artisan’s directors paid an aggregate of $25,000 for the 9,233,558 Founder Shares currently owned by the Sponsor and Artisan’s directors and such securities will have a significantly higher value after the Business Combination. As of           , 2021, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the aggregate market value of these shares, if unrestricted and freely tradable, would be $      , based upon a closing price of $      per Artisan Public Share on NASDAQ. The Founder Shares are expected to be worthless if the Business Combination or another business combination is not completed by May 18, 2023 or such later date as may be approved by Artisan’s shareholders in an amendment to the Artisan Articles (such date the “Final Redemption Date”) because the holders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution of proceeds in the trust account with respect to such shares;

​

•

the fact that Sponsor paid $8,786,847 to purchase an aggregate of 5,857,898 Artisan Private Warrants, each exercisable to purchase one Artisan Public Share at $11.50, subject to adjustment, at a price of $1.50 per warrant, and those warrants would be worthless — and the entire $8,786,847 warrant investment would be lost — if the Business Combination or another business combination is not consummated by the Final Redemption Date. As of                 , 2021, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the aggregate market value of these Artisan Private Warrants, if unrestricted and freely tradable, would be $      , based upon a closing price of $      per Artisan Public Warrant on NASDAQ;

​

•

the fact that, given the differential in the purchase price that the Sponsor and certain of Artisan’s directors paid for the Founder Shares and the purchase price that the Sponsor paid for the Artisan Private Warrants as compared to the price of the Artisan Public Shares and Artisan Public Warrants and the substantial number of PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares that the Sponsor and these directors will receive upon conversion of the Founder Shares and Artisan Private Warrants, the Sponsor and these directors can earn a positive return on their investment, even if other Artisan shareholders have a negative return on their investment in PubCo;

​

•

the fact that Sponsor and Artisan’s directors and officer have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if Artisan fails to complete a business combination by the Final Redemption Date;

​

•

the fact that pursuant to a registration rights agreement dated May 13, 2021, the Sponsor and Artisan’s directors can demand that PubCo register its registrable securities under certain circumstances and assist in underwritten takedowns of such securities and will also have piggyback registration rights for these securities in connection with certain registrations of securities that PubCo undertakes;

​

•

the fact that the Business Combination Agreement provides for the continued indemnification of Artisan’s directors and officer and the continuation of Artisan’s directors’ and officer’s liability insurance after the Business Combination (i.e., a “tail policy”);

​

 

14

 

•

the fact that Sponsor and Artisan’s directors and officer and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on Artisan’s behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. However, if Artisan fails to consummate a business combination within the required period, they will not have any claim against the trust account for reimbursement. Accordingly, Artisan may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the Business Combination or another business combination is not completed by the Final Redemption Date. As of the record date, the Sponsor and Artisan’s directors and officer and their affiliates had incurred approximately $      of unpaid reimbursable expenses;

​

•

the fact that if the trust account is liquidated, including in the event Artisan is unable to complete a business combination by the Final Redemption Date, the Sponsor has agreed to indemnify Artisan to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced below $10.00 per Artisan Public Share, or such lesser per Artisan Public Share amount as is in the trust account on the liquidation date, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which Artisan has discussed entering into a transaction agreement or claims of any third party for services rendered or products sold to Artisan, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the trust account;

​

•

the fact that an affiliate of the Sponsor entered into a convertible note subscription agreement with Prenetics Limited in February 2021, pursuant to which it acquired 454,387 series D preferred shares of Prenetics Limited for a consideration of $3,000,000, representing 0.82% of the equity interests in Prenetics on a fully diluted basis as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus;

​

•

the fact that New World Development (an affiliate of the Sponsor) has commercial arrangements with Prenetics regarding product promotion and distribution and storefront and office space rental; and

​

•

the fact that Mr. Yin Pan Cheng, a current director of Artisan, is expected to become a director of PubCo and in such case would be compensated as a director of PubCo.

​

Q:

I am an Artisan shareholder. Do I have redemption rights?

​

A:

Yes. Pursuant to the Artisan Articles, in connection with the completion of the Business Combination, Artisan Public Shareholders may elect to have their Artisan Public Shares redeemed for cash at the applicable redemption price per share calculated in accordance with the Artisan Articles. In this proxy statement/prospectus, these rights to demand redemption of the Artisan Public Shares are sometimes referred to as “redemption rights.” For illustrative purposes, as of            , 2021, this redemption amount would have amounted to approximately $10 per share. There are currently no owed but unpaid income taxes on the funds in the trust account. However, the proceeds deposited in the trust account could become subject to the claims of Artisan’s creditors, if any, which would have priority over the claims of Artisan shareholders. Therefore, the per share distribution from the trust account in such a situation may be less than originally expected due to such claims. It is expected that the funds to be distributed to Artisan Public Shareholders electing to redeem their Artisan Public Shares shall be distributed promptly after the consummation of the Business Combination. If an Artisan Public Shareholder exercises its redemption rights, then such holder shall be exchanging its Artisan Public Shares for cash. Such a holder shall be entitled to receive cash for its Artisan Public Shares only if it properly demands redemption and delivers its share certificates (if any) or shares (either physically or electronically) to Continental, Artisan’s transfer agent, in the manner described in this proxy/registration statement, at least two business days prior to the vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. An Artisan Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such holder and any person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group” ​(as defined under Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), may not seek to have more than 15% of the aggregate Artisan Public Shares redeemed without the prior consent of Artisan. Additionally, under the Artisan Articles, in no event will Artisan redeem Artisan Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001, such that Artisan is not subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules. In accordance with the Business Combination Agreement, if the cash proceeds from the trust account, plus cash proceeds from the PIPE Investment and under the Amended Forward Purchase Agreements, plus any amount raised pursuant to permitted

​

equity financings prior to closing of the Acquisition Merger, minus the aggregate amount payable to Artisan Public Shareholders exercising their redemption rights, in the aggregate equaling no less than $200,000,000, the closing condition is not satisfied and therefore, the Business Combination may not be consummated. See “Extraordinary General Meeting of Artisan shareholders — Redemption Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your shares for cash.

Q:

Will how I vote affect my ability to exercise redemption rights?

​

A:

No. An Artisan Public Shareholder may exercise redemption rights regardless of whether he, she or it votes, “FOR” or “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal, the Initial Merger Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal or does not vote on such proposals at all. As a result, the Business Combination Agreement can be approved by shareholders who shall redeem their shares and no longer remain shareholders, leaving shareholders who choose not to redeem their shares holding shares in a company with a potentially less liquid trading market, fewer shareholders and the potential inability to meet the NASDAQ listing standards.

​

Q:

How do I exercise my redemption rights?

​

A:

If you are an Artisan Public Shareholder and wish to exercise your right to have your Artisan Public Shares redeemed, you must:

​

•

submit a written request to Continental, Artisan’s transfer agent, in which you (i) request that Artisan redeem all or a portion of your Artisan Public Shares for cash, and (ii) identify yourself as the beneficial holder of the Artisan Public Shares and provide your legal name, phone number and address; and

​

•

either tender your share certificates (if any) to Continental, Artisan’s transfer agent, or deliver your Artisan Public Shares to the transfer agent electronically using The Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian) System.

​

Holders must complete the procedures for electing to redeem their Artisan Public Shares in the manner described above prior to                 on           , 2021, two business days prior to the vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting in order for their Artisan Public Shares to be redeemed.

The address of Continental, Artisan’s transfer agent, is listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below.

There is a nominal cost associated with the above-referenced tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The transfer agent will typically charge the tendering broker $80.00 and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming shareholder. In the event the Business Combination is not consummated this may result in an additional cost to shareholders for the return of their shares.

If you hold the Artisan Public Shares in “street name,” you will have to coordinate with your broker or bank to have the Artisan Public Shares you beneficially own certificated and delivered electronically.

Holders of Units must elect to separate the Units into the underlying Artisan Public Shares and Artisan Public Warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the Artisan Public Shares. If holders hold their Units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the Units into the underlying Artisan Public Shares and Artisan Public Warrants, or if a holder holds Units registered in its own name, the holder must contact Continental, Artisan’s transfer agent, directly and instruct it to do so. The redemption rights include the requirement that a holder must identify itself in writing as a beneficial holder and provide its legal name, phone number and address to Continental in order to validly redeem its Artisan Public Shares.

If the Business Combination is not consummated, the Artisan Public Shares will not be redeemed and instead will be returned to the respective holder, broker or bank. In such case, Artisan shareholders may only share in the assets of the trust account upon the liquidation of Artisan. This may result in Artisan shareholders receiving less than they would have received if the Business Combination was completed and they had exercised redemption rights in connection therewith due to potential claims of creditors.

 

16

 

If an Artisan Public Shareholder satisfies the requirements for exercising redemption rights with respect to all or a portion of the Artisan Public Shares he, she or it holds and the Business Combination is consummated, Artisan will redeem such Artisan Public Shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the pro rata portion of the amount on deposit in the trust account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to Artisan to pay income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses). For illustrative purposes, as of            , 2021, this would have amounted to approximately $      per issued and outstanding Artisan Public Share. There are currently no owed but unpaid income taxes on the funds in the trust account. However, the proceeds deposited in the trust account could become subject to the claims of Artisan’s creditors, if any, which would have priority over the claims of Artisan shareholders. Therefore, the per share distribution from the trust account in such a situation may be less than originally expected due to such claims. It is expected that the funds to be distributed to Artisan Public Shareholders electing to redeem their Artisan Public Shares shall be distributed promptly after the consummation of the Business Combination.

Any request for redemption, once made by an Artisan Public Shareholder, may be withdrawn at any time up to two business days prior to the vote at Extraordinary General Meeting. After this time, a request for redemption may not be withdrawn unless the Artisan Board determines (in its sole discretion) to permit the withdrawal of such redemption request (which it may do in whole or in part). Such a request must be made by contacting Continental, Artisan’s transfer agent, at the phone number or address listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below.

No request for redemption shall be honored unless the holder’s share certificates (if any) or shares have been delivered (either physically or electronically) to Continental, Artisan’s transfer agent, in the manner described above, at least two business days prior to the vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

If you exercise your redemption rights, then you shall be exchanging your Artisan Public Shares for cash and shall not be entitled to receive any PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares in respect of such redeemed shares upon consummation of the Business Combination.

If you are a holder of Artisan Public Shares and you exercise your redemption rights, such exercise shall not result in the loss of any Artisan Warrants that you may hold.

The closing price of Artisan Public Shares on the record date was $      . The cash held in the trust account on such date was approximately $      million (approximately $      per Artisan Public Share). Prior to exercising redemption rights, Artisan Public Shareholders should verify the market price of Artisan Public Shares as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their Artisan Public Shares in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. Artisan cannot assure its shareholders that they shall be able to sell their Artisan Public Shares in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when its shareholders wish to sell their shares

See “Extraordinary General Meeting of Artisan shareholders — Redemption Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your shares for cash.

Q:

If I am a holder of Artisan Warrants, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my warrants?

​

A:

No. The holders of Artisan Warrants have no redemption rights with respect to such securities.

​

Q:

If I am a Unit holder, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my Units?

​

A:

Not without first separating the Units. Holders of outstanding Units must separate the Units into the underlying Artisan Public Shares and Artisan Public Warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to Artisan Public Shares.

​

If a broker, bank, or other nominee holds your Units, you must instruct such broker, bank or nominee to separate your Units. Your nominee must send written instructions by facsimile to Continental, Artisan’s transfer agent. Such written instructions must include the number of Units to be split and the

 

17

 

nominee holding such Units. Your nominee must also initiate electronically, using The Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian) System, a withdrawal of the relevant Units and a deposit of the number of Artisan Public Shares and Artisan Public Warrants represented by such Units. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit your nominee to exercise your redemption rights upon the separation of the Artisan Public Shares from the Units. While this is typically done electronically the same business day, you should allow at least one full business day to accomplish the separation. If you fail to cause your shares to be separated in a timely manner, you shall likely not be able to exercise your redemption rights.

If you hold Units registered in your own name, you must deliver the certificate for such Units to Continental, Artisan’s transfer agent, with written instructions to separate such Units into Artisan Public Shares and Artisan Public Warrants. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit the mailing of the share certificates back to you so that you may then exercise your redemption rights upon the separation of the Artisan Public Shares from the Units. See “How do I exercise my redemption rights?” above. The address of Continental is listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below.

Q:

What happens if a substantial number of Artisan shareholders vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and the Initial Merger Proposal and exercise their redemption rights?

​

Artisan Public Shareholders may vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and the Initial Merger Proposal and exercise their redemption rights, although they are not required to vote in any way to exercise such redemption rights. Accordingly, the Business Combination may be consummated even though the funds available from the trust account and the number of Artisan shareholders are substantially reduced as a result of redemption by Artisan Public Shareholders.

The Artisan Articles provide that in no event will Artisan redeem Artisan Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001, such that Artisan is not subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules. In the event of significant redemptions, with fewer shares and Artisan shareholders, the trading market for PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares may be less liquid than the market for Artisan Public Shares was prior to the Business Combination. In addition, in the event of significant redemptions, PubCo may not be able to meet the NASDAQ listing standards. It is a condition to consummation of the Business Combination in the Business Combination Agreement that the PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares to be issued in connection with the Business Combination shall have been approved for listing on NASDAQ, subject only to official notice of issuance thereof. PubCo and Artisan have certain obligations in the Business Combination Agreement to use reasonable best efforts in connection with the Business Combination, including with respect to satisfying this NASDAQ listing condition.

In addition, consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement is subject to the condition that the cash proceeds from the trust account, plus cash proceeds from the PIPE Investment and cash proceeds under the Forward Purchase Agreements, plus any amount raised pursuant to permitted equity financings prior to closing of the Acquisition Merger, minus the aggregate amount payable to Artisan Public Shareholders exercising their redemption rights, in the aggregate equaling no less than $200,000,000.

Q:

Do I have appraisal or dissenters’ rights if I object to the proposed Business Combination?

​

A:

Holders of record of Artisan Shares may have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination under the Cayman Islands Companies Act. In this proxy statement/prospectus, these appraisal or dissent rights are sometimes referred to as “Dissent Rights”. Holders of record of Artisan Shares wishing to exercise such Dissent Rights and make a demand for payment of the fair market value for his, her or its Artisan Shares must give written objection to the Initial Merger to Artisan prior to the shareholder vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting to approve the Initial Merger and follow the procedures set out in Section 238 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act, noting that any such dissenter rights may subsequently be lost and extinguished pursuant to Section 239 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act which states that no such dissenter rights shall be available in respect of shares of any class for which an open market exists on a recognized stock exchange or recognized interdealer

​

 

18

 

quotation system at the expiry date of the period allowed for written notice of an election to dissent provided that the merger consideration constitutes inter alia shares of any company which at the effective date of the merger are listed on a national securities exchange. The Business Combination Agreement provides that, if any Artisan shareholder exercises Dissent Rights then, unless Artisan and Prenetics elect by agreement in writing otherwise, the Initial Merger shall not be consummated before the expiry date of the period allowed for written notice of an election to dissent in order to invoke the exemption under Section 239 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act. Artisan believes that such fair market value would equal the amount that Artisan shareholders would obtain if they exercised their redemption rights as described herein. An Artisan shareholder which elects to exercise Dissent Rights must do so in respect of all of the Artisan Shares that person holds and will lose their right to exercise their redemption rights as described herein. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Extraordinary General Meeting of Artisan Shareholders — Appraisal Rights under the Cayman Islands Companies Act.”

Artisan shareholders are recommended to seek their own advice as soon as possible on the application and procedure to be followed in respect of the appraisal rights under the Cayman Islands Companies Act.

Q:

Can I exercise redemption rights and appraisal or dissenters’ rights under the Cayman Islands Companies Act?

​

A:

No. Any Artisan Public Shareholder who elects to exercise Dissent Rights (which dissenter rights are discussed in the section titled “Do I have appraisal rights if I object to the proposed Business Combination?”) will lose their right to have their Artisan Public Shares redeemed in accordance with the Artisan Articles. The certainty provided by the redemption process may be preferable for Artisan Public Shareholders wishing to exchange their Artisan Public Shares for cash. This is because Dissent Rights may be lost or extinguished, including where Artisan and the other parties to the Merger Agreement determine to delay the consummation of the Business Combination in order to invoke the limitation on dissenter rights under Section 239 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act, in which case any Artisan Public Shareholder who has sought to exercise Dissent Rights would only be entitled to receive the merger consideration comprising one PubCo Class A Ordinary Share for each of their Artisan Public Shares.

​

Q:

I am an Artisan warrantholder. Why am I receiving this proxy statement/prospectus?

​

A:

As a holder of Artisan Warrants, which shall, as a result of the Business Combination, become PubCo Warrants, you shall be entitled to purchase one PubCo Class A Ordinary Share in lieu of one Artisan Public Share at a purchase price of $11.50 upon consummation of the Business Combination. This proxy statement/prospectus includes important information about PubCo and the business of PubCo and its subsidiaries following consummation of the Business Combination. Since holders of Artisan Warrants shall become holders of PubCo Warrants and may become holders of PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares upon consummation of the Business Combination, we urge you to read the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus carefully.

​

Q:

What happens to the funds deposited in the trust account after consummation of the Business Combination?

​

A:

Of the net proceeds of the IPO, including the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option, and the concurrent private placements, a total of $339,342,350 was placed in the trust account. After consummation of the Business Combination, the funds in the trust account shall be released to Artisan Merger Sub (as the surviving entity in the Initial Merger) and used by Artisan Merger Sub to pay Artisan Public Shareholders who exercise redemption rights and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination with Prenetics (including fees of an aggregate of approximately $11,876,982 to certain underwriters in connection with the IPO). Any remaining cash will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

​

 

19

 

Q:

What happens if the Business Combination is not consummated?

​

A:

If Artisan does not complete the Business Combination with Prenetics (or another initial business combination) by the Final Redemption Date, Artisan must redeem 100% of the outstanding Artisan Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the amount then held in the trust account (net of taxes payable and less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of outstanding Artisan Public Shares.

​

Q:

When do you expect the Business Combination to be completed?

​

A:

It is currently expected that the Business Combination will be consummated in the fourth quarter of 2021 or the first quarter of 2022, promptly following the satisfaction, or waiver, of the conditions precedent to Closing set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, including the approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the Initial Merger Proposal by the holders of Artisan Shares. For a description of the conditions for the completion of the Business Combination, see “The Business Combination Agreement — The Business Combination Agreement — Conditions to Closing.”

​

Q:

What else do I need to do now?

​

A:

Artisan urges you to read carefully and consider the information contained in this proxy statement/​prospectus, including the Annexes, and to consider how the Business Combination shall affect you as a shareholder and/or warrantholder of Artisan. Shareholders should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement/prospectus and on the enclosed proxy card.

​

A:

If you are a holder of record of Artisan Shares at close of business on the record date, you may vote electronically at the Extraordinary General Meeting by navigating to        and entering the control number on your proxy card or by submitting a proxy for the Extraordinary General Meeting. You may submit your proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage paid envelope so as to be received by Artisan no later than at         AM                 time, on                 , 2021, being 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the Extraordinary General Meeting (or, in the case of an adjournment, no later than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the adjourned meeting). If you hold your Artisan Shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or nominee, you should contact your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the broker, bank or nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting and vote remotely, obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or nominee and a control number from Continental, available once you have received your proxy by emailing proxy@continentalstock.com.

​

Q:

If my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker, bank or nominee automatically vote my shares for me?

​

A:

No. As disclosed in this proxy statement/prospectus, your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your shares on the Business Combination Proposal, the Initial Merger Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank or nominee. If you are an Artisan shareholder holding your shares in “street name” and you do not instruct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote your shares, your broker, bank or other nominee will not vote your shares on the Business Combination Proposal, the Initial Merger Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal. Such abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the vote count for any of the Proposals.

​

Q:

May I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card?

​

A:

Yes. If you are a holder of record of Artisan Shares and you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by doing any one of the following:

​

•

you may send another signed proxy card to Continental, Artisan’s transfer agent, at the address set forth under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below so that it is received no later than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the Extraordinary General Meeting (or, in the case of an adjournment, no later than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the adjourned meeting);

​

 

21

 

•

you may notify the Artisan Board in writing, prior to the vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, that you have revoked your proxy; or

​

•

you may attend the Extraordinary General Meeting virtually over the Internet by joining the live audio webcast and vote electronically through the web portal during the Extraordinary General Meeting, although your attendance alone will not revoke any proxy that you have previously given.

​

If you hold your Artisan Shares in “street name,” you may submit new instructions on how to vote your shares by contacting your broker, bank or nominee.

Q:

What happens if I fail to take any action with respect to the Extraordinary General Meeting?

​

A:

If you fail to take any action with respect to the Extraordinary General Meeting and the Business Combination is approved by shareholders and consummated, you shall become a shareholder and/or warrantholder of PubCo. If you fail to take any action with respect to the Extraordinary General Meeting and the Business Combination is not approved, you shall continue to be a shareholder and/or warrantholder of Artisan.

​

Q:

What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

​

A:

Shareholders may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement/prospectus and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your Artisan Shares in more than one brokerage account, you shall receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you shall receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast a vote with respect to all of your Artisan Shares.

​

Q:

What happens if I sell my Artisan Shares before the Extraordinary General Meeting?

​

A:

The record date for the Extraordinary General Meeting is earlier than the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting and earlier than the date the Business Combination is expected to be completed. If you transfer your Artisan Shares after the applicable record date, but before the Extraordinary General Meeting date, unless you grant a proxy to the transferee, you shall retain your right to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

​

Q:

Who will solicit and pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the Extraordinary General Meeting?

​

A:

Artisan will pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the Extraordinary General Meeting. Artisan has engaged Morrow Sodali LLC to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Extraordinary General Meeting. Artisan has agreed to pay that firm a fixed fee of $37,500, plus associated disbursements, to reimburse the firm for its reasonable and documented costs and expenses and to indemnify the firm and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses. Artisan will also reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of Artisan Public Shares for their expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to beneficial owners of Artisan Public Shares and in obtaining voting instructions from those owners. Artisan’s directors and officer may also solicit proxies by telephone, by facsimile, by mail, on the Internet or in person. They will not be paid any additional amounts for soliciting proxies.
