| Item 8.01 | Other Events. |
On November 15, 2023, Live Oak Crestview Climate Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), announced that, in accordance with the Company’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Charter”), the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) has determined that it is advisable and in the best interest of the Company to redeem all of the Company’s outstanding shares of Class A common stock sold as part of the units in the Company’s initial public offering (whether they were purchased in the initial public offering or thereafter in the open market) (the “public shares”), effective as of the close of business on November 30, 2023. Accordingly, the Company will not consummate an initial business combination with a target business.
As a result of the above, the Company will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the public shares in consideration of a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount on deposit in the Company’s trust account including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the public stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the board of directors in accordance with applicable law, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of applicable law.
The per-share redemption price for the public shares will be approximately $10.44 (the “Redemption Amount”). Funds in the Company’s trust account, including any interest thereon, will not be used to pay for any excise tax imposed under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
The Company anticipates that the public shares will cease trading effective after the close of business on November 29, 2023. As of the close of business on November 30, 2023, the public shares will be deemed cancelled and will represent only the right to receive the Redemption Amount.
The Redemption Amount will be payable to the holders of the public shares upon presentation of their respective stock or unit certificates or other delivery of their shares or units to the Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, One State Street, 30th Floor, New York, New York 10004. Beneficial owners of public shares held in “street name,” however, will not need to take any action in order to receive the Redemption Amount.
There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless, and the Company’s Class B common stock issued prior to the Company’s initial public offering. After November 15, 2023, the Company shall cease all operations except for those required to wind up the Company’s business.
The Company expects that the New York Stock Exchange will file a Form 25 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) to delist its securities. The Company thereafter expects to file a Form 15 with the Commission to terminate the registration of its securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
