Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On June 22, 2023, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “special meeting”). On May 30, 2023, the record date for the special meeting, there were an aggregate of 12,833,579 shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock of the Company entitled to be voted at the special meeting, approximately 84.48% of which were represented in person or by proxy at the special meeting.
The final results for the matter submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders at the special meeting are as follows:
Charter Amendment Proposal
The stockholders approved the proposal to amend the Company’s Charter, in the form set forth as Annex A to the proxy statement (the “Charter Amendment”), to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination (the “Extension”) from June 22, 2023 to July 24, 2023, and to allow the Company, if needed, without another stockholder vote, upon request by Golden Falcon Sponsor Group, LLC and approval by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), to further extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from July 24, 2023 to August 24, 2023, or such earlier date as determined by the Board (such date actually extended being referred to as the “Extended Date”). The voting results were as follows:
| FOR | AGAINST | ABSTAIN | BROKER NON-VOTES | |||
| 10,840,071 | 1,601 | 0 | 0 |
As there were sufficient votes to approve the Charter Amendment Proposal, the “Adjournment Proposal” described in the Proxy Statement was not presented to stockholders.
