Item 8.01 Other Events.
On March 19, 2024, Aetherium Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) prepared Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) to the definitive proxy on Schedule 14A in connection with its Special Meeting of the Company’s shareholders in lieu of its annual meeting to extend the time to complete its business combination. The definitive proxy on Schedule 14A filed in connection with the Special Meeting to extend the time to complete a Business combination to thirty-six (36) months from the effectiveness date of the Company’s Form S-1 by the SEC, which was December 29, 2021, seeks approval for the Company to deposit into the trust account the amount of $0.033 per non-redeeming public share of the Company for each month the Company exercises an extension.
Amendment No. 2 amends the Trust Amendment Proposal (Proposal 4) to delete the proposal to withdraw funds from the Company’s trust account to pay for excise taxes. As revised, the Trust Amendment Proposal (Proposal 4) no longer seeks approval to pay the Company’s excise tax. In no event will the Company withdraw interest from the Company’s trust account to pay any excise taxes due. At present, the Company’s trust account balance totals approximately $33,747,362.84 representing approximately $11.28 per public share at the time of filing of the Company’s definitive proxy on Schedule 14A.
To allow time for additional votes on the Trust Amendment Proposal (Proposal 4), as amended by Amendment No. 2., the Company has postponed the Special Meeting to March 28, 2024 at 8:30 a.m. ET.
The record date for the Meeting remains February 9, 2024. A copy of the previously issued press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
