(“MPAC” or the “Company”) is holding a special meeting of the shareholders at 9:30 a.m., Eastern time, on December 20, 2022 (the “Meeting”) at the offices of Loeb & Loeb LLP, 345 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10154, and virtually via live webcast at https://www.cstproxy.com/modelperformanceacquisition/sm2022. On or about December 7, 2022, MPAC mailed to you a proxy statement/prospectus (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”), asking you to consider and vote upon the following proposals at the Meeting (capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus):
● Proposal 1 — To approve the merger of MPAC with and into Model Performance Mini Corp., a British Virgin Islands business company (“PubCo”), with PubCo remaining as the surviving publicly traded entity, and the Reincorporation Plan of Merger. This Proposal is referred to as the “Reincorporation Merger Proposal” or “Proposal No. 1.”;
● Proposal 2 — To approve the transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement, dated as of August 6, 2021 (as amended on January 6 and September 29, 2022, and as may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among MPAC, PubCo, Model Performance Mini Sub Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Merger Sub”) and MultiMetaVerse, Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“MMV”), (the “Business Combination”), a copy of which is attached to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus as Annex A. This Proposal is referred to as the “Acquisition Merger Proposal” or “Proposal No. 2.”;
● Proposal 3 — To approve: (i) for purposes of complying with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635 (a) and (b), the issuance of more than 20% of the issued and outstanding MPAC Class A ordinary shares and the resulting change in control in connection with the Business Combination, and (ii) for purposes of complying with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), the issuance of more than 20% of the Class A ordinary shares in connection with the PIPE Investment (as defined herein) upon the consummation of the Business Combination.
