    The vast majority of the votes cast at the meeting voted to approve the Business Combination.

    Following the Business Combination, TMTG will continue as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (after giving effect to the consummation of the Business Combination, "Trump Media & Technology Group Corp."). The common stock of Trump Media & Technology Group Corp., following the consummation of the Business Combination, is anticipated to begin trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") under the ticker symbols "DJT" and "DJTWW."

    "We are immensely grateful to our stockholders and our working group for their continued trust and support. This vote underscores their confidence in the merger with TMTG and the path we have set for the future. With many of our headwinds behind us, we look forward to working with TMTG and our dedicated team to close this merger. It's exactly one year after my appointment as the CEO of Digital World, and this milestone not only reflects the progress we've made but also reaffirms our commitment to this strategic direction. I am particularly grateful for the opportunity to lead Digital World and the trust we received today from our shareholders. Looking forward, I am excited to aim to continue to drive value and success for our company as a director of TMTG once we become a public company," said Eric Swider, CEO of Digital World.

    "This accomplishment shows the unshakeable commitment of Digital World, its investors, and the entire Truth Social workforce to creating a movement to defend free expression on the Internet," said TMTG CEO Devin Nunes. "As we transition into a public company, we look forward to greatly enhancing and expanding Truth Social and providing Americans with an enduring safe harbor from Big Tech's stifling censorship and suppression."

The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties that are described in the "Risk Factors" section of the Registration Statement, the Proxy Statement and any related supplements, and in Digital World's Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on October 30, 2023 and January 9, 2024 and in other reports Digital World files with the SEC.
