Item 7.01. Regulation FD

On November 30, 2022, Clarim Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) issued a press release relating to its upcoming special meeting of stockholders. A copy of the press release is furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, is furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the filings of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings.

Item 8.01. Other Events

On November 14, 2022, the Company filed a definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”), relating to a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders (the “Stockholder Meeting”) to approve: (i) an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) to eliminate the requirement that the Company retain at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following the redemption of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Public Shares”), in connection with a Business Combination (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation) and certain amendments of the Certificate of Incorporation (such amendment, the “Redemption Limit Elimination Amendment” and such proposal, the “Redemption Limit Elimination Proposal”); (ii) an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to change the date by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination from February 2, 2023 (the “Original Termination Date”) to such other date as shall be determined by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) and publicly announced by the Company, provided that such other date shall be no sooner than the date of the effectiveness of the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and no later than December 30, 2022 (such date, the “Early Termination Date”, such amendment the “Early Termination Amendment” and such proposal, the “Early Termination Proposal”); (iii) an amendment to the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated January 28, 2021, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation, as trustee (“Continental”) to change the date on which Continental must commence liquidation of the trust account established in connection with the Company’s initial public offering from the Original Termination Date to the Early Termination Date (such proposal, the “Early Termination Trust Amendment Proposal”); and (iv) a proposal to adjourn the Stockholder Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Stockholder Meeting, there are insufficient shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct business at the Stockholder Meeting or at the time of the Stockholder Meeting to approve the Redemption Limit Elimination Proposal, the Early Termination Proposal or the Early Termination Trust Amendment Proposal.

If the Early Termination Proposal is approved at the Stockholder Meeting, the Board expects to file the Early Termination Amendment on December 7, 2022 and establish December 7, 2022 as the Early Termination Date. If the Early Termination Amendment is implemented following stockholder approval on December 7, 2022, the last day of trading of the Company’s Public Shares and units on the New York Stock Exchange will be December 7, 2022.

Pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, a public stockholder may request that the Company redeem all or a portion of such stockholder’s Public Shares for cash if either the Redemption Limit Elimination Proposal or the Early Termination Proposal is approved and implemented (a “Voluntary Redemption”). If either the Redemption Limit Elimination Amendment or the Early Termination Amendment is approved and implemented on December 7, 2022, the Company expects to complete such Voluntary Redemptions on or about December 8, 2022. Moreover, because the Company will not be able to complete a Business Combination by the Early Termination Date, the Company will be obligated to redeem the remaining Public Shares as promptly as possible but not more than ten business days after the Early Termination Date (a “Mandatory Redemption”). If the Early Termination Amendment Proposal is approved and the Early Termination Amendment is implemented, the Company expects to complete the Mandatory Redemptions on on or about December 12, 2022.
