CONX Files Proxy Statement for Stockholders to Vote on Extension of Completion Period; Discloses Preliminary Discussions Regarding Business Combination
LITTLETON, Colo., Oct. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- CONX, Corp. (Nasdaq: CONX, CONXU, CONXW) ("CONX" or the "Company") encourages stockholders to vote in favor of the proposal to amend CONX's articles of incorporation (the "Extension Amendment") to extend the date by which the Company must complete a business combination from November 3, 2022 to June 3, 2023 (the "Extension"). A special meeting of the Company's stockholders ("Special Meeting") to approve the Extension Amendment will be held on October 31, 2022 at 2:30 p.m., Mountain Time, and can be accessed virtually by visiting https://www.cstproxy.com/conxcorp/2022.
The Extension will provide CONX with additional time to complete a business combination. The Company has begun preliminary discussions with DISH Network Corp. ("DISH") regarding a potential business combination involving DISH's retail wireless business (which we refer to as the "Transaction"). The Company expects to announce additional details regarding the potential business combination if and when a definitive agreement is executed. No assurances can be made that the parties will successfully negotiate and enter into a definitive agreement, or that the Transaction will be consummated or the timeframe for such consummation. Any business combination, including the Transaction, would be subject to, among other things, negotiation between the parties, significant due diligence, appropriate board and shareholder approvals, regulatory approvals and other conditions. We have agreed to obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or a valuation or appraisal firm regarding the fairness to the Company from a financial point of view of a business combination with any entity that is affiliated with our sponsor, nXgen Opportunities, LLC (the "Sponsor"), or any of the Company's officers or directors, including the Transaction. In addition, we intend to appoint a special committee of independent and disinterested directors to evaluate and if appropriate negotiate and approve the terms of any Transaction.
In connection with the Extension, our Sponsor has agreed to advance to us (i) $0.02 for each public share that is not redeemed in connection with the Special Meeting plus (ii) $0.02 for each public share that is not redeemed for each subsequent calendar month commencing on December 3, 2022, and on the 3rd day of each subsequent month, or portion thereof, that we require to complete a business combination from November 3, 2022 until June 3, 2023. For example, if we complete the business combination on June 3, 2023, which would represent seven calendar months, our Sponsor or its designee would make aggregate maximum advances of $0.14 per share or $10,500,000 in the aggregate (assuming no public shares were redeemed). Assuming the proposal for the Extension (the "Extension Amendment Proposal") is approved, the initial contribution will be deposited in the Trust Account promptly following the Special Meeting. Each additional contribution will be deposited in the Trust Account on or before the 3rd day of such calendar month. Accordingly, if the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved and the Extension is implemented and we take the full time through the Extended Date to complete a business combination, the redemption amount per share at the meeting for such business combination or the Company's subsequent liquidation will be approximately $10.19 per share, in comparison to the current redemption amount of approximately $10.05 per share. The advances are conditioned upon the implementation of the Extension Amendment Proposal and will not occur if the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved or the Extension is not completed. The advances will not bear interest to our Sponsor or its designee and will be repayable by the Company to our Sponsor or its designee upon the earlier of: (i) the consummation of the business combination or (ii) our liquidation. The Sponsor has waived any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account with respect to those advances. If our Sponsor or its designee advises the Company that it does not intend to make the advances, then the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal will not be put before the stockholders at the Special Meeting and we will dissolve and liquidate in accordance with our Amended and Restated Articles. Our Sponsor or its designee will have the sole discretion whether to continue extending for additional calendar months until the Extended Date and if our Sponsor determines not to continue extending for additional calendar months, its obligation to make additional advances will terminate. At the option of the Sponsor, up to $1,500,000 of the loan may be converted into warrants identical to CONX's private placement warrants, at $1.50 per warrant.
The Company's stockholders of record at the close of business on the record date, September 27, 2022, are entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. Every stockholder's vote is important, regardless of the number of shares held, and the Company requests the prompt submission of votes. The Company has made arrangements for stockholders to vote online, by telephone, or by mail.
In connection with the Special Meeting, public stockholders may elect to redeem their shares by demanding that the Company redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, and tender such shares to the Company's transfer agent at least two business days prior to the Special Meeting (or October 27, 2022).
