The Company held the extraordinary general meeting (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”) at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time on August 2, 2024 for the purposes of considering and voting upon:
| ● | The Extension Proposal – to consider and vote upon a proposal by the following special resolution to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Existing Charter”) to allow the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”), without another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the date by which, if the Company has not consummated a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company, with one or more businesses or entities (a “Business Combination”), the Company must (a) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (b) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Class A ordinary shares sold in the Company’s initial public offering (the “Public Shares”); and (c) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law, from August 2, 2024 (the “Original Termination Date”) to up to 4 times by an additional 3 months each time after the Original Termination Date, by resolution of the Board, until August 2, 2025 (each, an “Additional Charter Extension Date”) or a total of up to 12 months after the Original Termination Date, unless the closing of a Business Combination shall have occurred prior thereto (the “Extension”, such extension deadline, the “Extended Date”, and such proposal, the “Extension Proposal”). |
| ● | The Adjournment Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal (the “Adjournment Proposal”) by the following ordinary resolution to approve the adjournment of the Extraordinary General Meeting by the chair thereof to a later date, if necessary, under certain circumstances, to solicit additional proxies for the purpose of approving the Extension Proposal, to amend the Extension Proposal, or to allow reasonable additional time for the filing or mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure that the Company has determined in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel is required under applicable law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by the Company’s shareholders prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting; provided that the Extraordinary General Meeting is reconvened as promptly as practical thereafter. The Adjournment Proposal will only be presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting if there are not sufficient votes to approve the Extension Proposal. |
For more information on these proposals, please refer to the Company’s proxy statement dated July 15, 2024 (as amended or supplemented, the “Proxy Statement”). As of the record date of June 20, 2024, there were a total of 9,555,210 ordinary shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Proxies were received for 8,488,193 ordinary shares, or approximately 88.83% of the shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting; therefore a quorum was present.
Shareholders voted to approve the Extension Proposal. The proposal received the following final voting results:
| For | Against | Abstain | ||||||
| 8,353,645 | 134,548 | 0 | ||||||
The Adjournment Proposal was not presented to the shareholders because there were sufficient votes to approve the Extension Proposal.
A copy of the Amendment of the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association as adopted on August 2, 2024 by special resolution of the shareholders is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
