Item 5.03

Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

As previously announced, at the special meeting of the stockholders of Churchill Capital Corp V (the “Company”) held on March 14, 2023, stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Charter”) to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from March 18, 2023 to December 18, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board of directors) (the “Charter Amendment”).

The Company filed the Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on March 15, 2023. The foregoing description of the Charter Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 3.1 which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01

Other Events.

The information disclosed under Item 5.03 of this Current Report is incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01 to the extent required herein.

Sponsor Contribution to the Trust Account

As previously announced, Churchill Sponsor V LLC (the “Sponsor”) will make monthly deposits directly to the Company’s trust account (the “Trust Account”) in the amount of $250,000 (each deposit, a “Contribution”) following the approval and implementation of the Extension Amendment Proposal. Such Contributions will be made pursuant to a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) issued by the Company to the Sponsor.

Each Contribution will be paid monthly beginning on March 17, 2023 and thereafter on the eighteenth day of each month (or if such eighteenth day is not a business day, on the business day immediately preceding such eighteenth day) until the earliest to occur of (i) the consummation of a business combination, (ii) November 17, 2023 and (iii) if a business combination is not consummated, the date of liquidation of the Trust Account, as determined in the sole discretion of the Company’s board of directors. The Promissory Note will mature on the earlier of (1) the date the Company consummates a business combination and (2) the date that the winding up of the Company is effective (such date, the “Maturity Date”).The Promissory Note will not bear any interest, and will be repayable by the Company to the Sponsor upon the Maturity Date. The Maturity Date may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an “Event of Default” (as defined in the Promissory Note). Any outstanding principal under the Promissory Note may be prepaid at any time by the Company, at its election and without penalty.

The foregoing description of the Promissory Note does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Promissory Note, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
