| Item 8.01. | Other Events. |
As previously disclosed in its definitive proxy statement dated as of February 2, 2023 (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”), Tailwind International Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) will hold an extraordinary general meeting on February 21, 2023 (the “Shareholder Meeting”) to consider and vote upon the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal (each as defined in the Definitive Proxy Statement) and, if necessary, the Adjournment Proposal (as defined in the Definitive Proxy Statement).
The Company has identified a potential business combination target company in the energy storage sector (the “Partner”) for an initial business combination (the “Potential Business Combination”). The Company believes the Potential Business Combination with the Partner represents a compelling opportunity for the Company to complete its initial business combination and has entered into a letter of intent with the Partner. Such letter of intent is non-binding. The execution of a definitive business combination agreement is subject to several conditions, including the completion of due diligence and negotiation and preparation of documentation. The Company cannot assure you that it will enter into a definitive business combination agreement with the Partner.
In connection with the Shareholder Meeting, the Company intends prior to the Shareholder Meeting, to instruct Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee with respect to the trust account, to liquidate the U.S. government treasury obligations or money market funds held in the trust account and thereafter to maintain the funds in the trust account in cash in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank. Interest on such deposit account is currently approximately 2.75% per annum, but such deposit account carries a variable rate and the Company cannot assure you that such rate will not decrease or increase significantly.
