Item 8.01 Other Events.
Alset Capital Acquisition Corp. (“Alset”) is providing the following updates regarding the opportunity for stockholders to redeem Class A Common Stock.
Alset has extended the deadline for stockholders to redeem Class A Common Stock until 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Friday, November 3, 2023 (“the Revised Deadline”). The Revised Deadline shall apply to any shares of Class A Common Stock being redeemed in connection with either the August 1, 2023 Special Meeting of Stockholders or the planned November 2, 2023 Special Meeting of Stockholders. Stockholders may submit redemption requests in connection with either of these meetings. Any future extension of the Revised Deadline would apply to both groups, and Alset has increased the redemption amount per share for stockholders to redeem Class A Common Stock from $10.50 to $10.60 for both groups.
As previously disclosed, Alset and the other parties to its Merger Agreement are working towards satisfaction of the conditions to completion of the Proposed Business Combination approved by stockholders at the August 1, 2023 Special Meeting of Stockholders. The Company is waiting for the approval by the Nasdaq of the initial listing application of HWH International Inc. There can be no assurance that such approval will be obtained.
The closing of Alset’s planned business combination will not occur until after the Revised Deadline, as the same may be extended. Accordingly, stockholders will be permitted to redeem shares of Class A Common Stock prior to any closing of the Proposed Business Combination.
Stockholders are encouraged to please see the Definitive Proxy Statement for the November 2, 2023 Special Meeting of Stockholders. We encourage all Stockholders to please cast their vote in connection with such Special Meeting.
In addition, stockholders who previously submitted redemption requests may withdraw such previously submitted redemption requests until the Revised Deadline of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Friday, November 3, 2023.
If you have not already done so, in order to exercise your redemption rights, you must, prior to the Revised Deadline of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Friday, November 3, 2023, tender your shares physically or electronically and submit a request in writing that we redeem your public shares for cash to VStock Transfer LLC, our transfer agent, at the following address:
VStock Transfer LLC
18 Lafayette Place
Woodmere, NY 11598
Attn: DWAC Team
E-mail: [email protected]
