| Item 5.03 | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year |
On June 27, 2023, upon the stockholders’ approval of the Charter Amendment (as defined below) at a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”), the Company filed an amendment (the “Charter Amendment”) to the Company’s Amended & Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Charter Amendment extended the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from August 19, 2023 to November 19, 2023 (the “Extended Date”), by increasing the number of one-month extensions of the deadline to complete the initial business combination from six to nine (the “Extensions”) by depositing into the trust account established in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) for each Extension beginning July 19, 2023 the lesser of (i) $200,000 or (ii) $0.03 per share of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, sold in the IPO, per Extension. The Company’s stockholders approved the Charter Amendment at a Special Meeting (as defined below) of the stockholders held on Monday, June 26, 2023.
The foregoing description of the Charter Amendment is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
| Item 5.07 | Submission of Matters to a Vote of Stockholders |
On June 26, 2023, the Company convened the Special Meeting to approve the Charter Amendment and the Adjournment Proposal, each as more fully described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 12, 2023, as supplemented by supplemental proxy statements filed with the SEC as of June 2, 2023 and June 13, 2023. As of the close of business on May 12, 2023, the record date for the Special Meeting, there were 17,772,169 shares of the Company’s common stock, comprising 17,572,169 shares of Class A common stock and 200,000 shares of Class B common stock (collectively, the “Common Stock”) outstanding, each of which was entitled to one vote with respect to each of the proposals. A total of 15,042,723 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 84.66% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, were present in person or by proxy, constituting a quorum.
The final voting results for the Charter Amendment were as follows:
Proposal No. 1: The Charter Amendment Proposal: To approve an amendment to the Company’s Charter to extend the date by which the company has to consummate a Business Combination (as defined in the Charter) from August 19, 2023 to November 19, 2023, by increasing the number of one-month extensions of the deadline to complete the initial Business Combination from six to nine (the “Extensions”) by depositing into the trust account established in connection with the company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) for each Extension beginning July 19, 2023 the lesser of (i) $200,000 or (ii) $0.03 per share of the company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001, sold in the IPO, per extension:
| FOR | AGAINST | ABSTAIN | ||||||||
| 14,193,359 | 849,364 | 0 | ||||||||
Proposal No. 2: The Adjournment Proposal: The Company has solicited proxies in favor of the Adjournment Proposal, which would have given the Company the authority to adjourn the Special Meeting to solicit additional proxies. As sufficient shares of Common Stock were voted in favor of the Charter Amendment, this proposal was not voted upon at the Special Meeting.
| Item 8.01 | Other Information |
In connection with the approval and amendment of the Company’s Charter pursuant to the Charter Amendment, the Company was required to permit its public shareholders to redeem their shares of Common Stock. Of the 11,383,419 shares of Common Stock outstanding with redemption rights, the holders of 5,599,025 shares of Common Stock elected to redeem their shares at a per share redemption price of approximately $10.64. As a result, approximately $59,593,408.93 will be removed from the Company’s trust account to pay such holders.
The Company issued a press release on June 27, 2023, announcing the results of the Special Meeting and redemption, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
