Item 8.01 Other Events
Estimated Per-Share Trust Account Balance
As previously disclosed, Finnovate Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) has called and provided a notice of a special meeting (the “Special Meeting”) to be held on May 2, 2024. In connection with the Special Meeting, the Company filed the definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A (the “Proxy Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 15, 2024. The Company disclosed in the Proxy Statement that it anticipates the per-share balance in Trust Account (as defined in the Proxy Statement) as being approximately $10.92 at the time of the Meeting (as defined in the Proxy Statement). That amount was based on the balance of the Trust Account as of March 31, 2024, which would not have included additional contributions made by Finnovate Sponsor L.P. (the “Sponsor”) to the Trust Account in connection with prior extensions of the termination date nor additional accrued interests, and consequently, when taking into account those additional amounts, the Company anticipates that the per-share price at which Public Shares (as defined in the Proxy Statement) will be redeemed from cash held in the Trust Account will be approximately $11.32 at the time of the Meeting.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Report”) includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ from the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements and factors that may cause such differences include, without limitation, uncertainties relating to the Company’s shareholder approval of extending the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination (the “Extension”), its inability to complete an initial business combination within the required time period or, and other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in filings with the SEC, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 under the heading “Risk Factors” and in other reports the Company has filed, or to be filed, with the SEC. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company expressly disclaims any obligations or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations with respect thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based.
Participants in the Solicitation
The Company and its directors, executive officers, other members of management and employees, under SEC rules, may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the security holders of the Company in favor of the approval of the Extension. Investors and security holders may obtain more detailed information regarding the names, affiliations and interests of the Company’s directors and officers in the Proxy Statement, which may be obtained free of charge from the sources indicated above.
No Offer or Solicitation
This Report shall not constitute a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the Extension. This communication shall also not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any states or jurisdictions in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom.
Additional Information and Where to Find It
The Company urges investors, shareholders and other interested persons to read the Proxy Statement as well as other documents filed by the Company with the SEC, because these documents will contain important information about the Company and the Extension. Shareholders may obtain copies of the Proxy Statement, without charge, at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to: Advantage Proxy, Inc., P.O. Box 13581, Des Moines, WA 98198, Attn: Karen Smith.
