(NYSE:CLAS, CLAS.U, CLAS.W))) (the "Company") today announced that it filed a Proxy Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on December 6, 2022 with several proposals, including a request to extend the date by which the Company would be required to consummate a business combination from January 20, 2023 to June 20, 2023. Class Acceleration Corp.'s Board of Directors asks shareholders to vote FOR proposal 1 prior to the Company's 2022 meeting of stockholders on December 20, 2022.
Michael Moe, Class Acceleration Corp.'s Chief Executive Officer stated, "There are immediate and actionable opportunities in progress that will allow Class to complete a business combination.

We are pursuing an extension because of actions underway that we believe are in the best interest of our shareholders."
Only shareholders of record on November 21, 2022, are entitled to and are being requested to vote. Shareholders who have not already voted or wish to change their vote are encouraged to do so promptly by executing a new proxy, revoking a previously given proxy, or attending and voting at the meeting, as set forth in the proxy statement and prospectus the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on December 6, 2022 (the "Proxy Statement").
