(the “Company”) held on June 5, 2023, the Company’s stockholders voted in favor of a proposal to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to extend the date by which it must consummate an initial business combination (the “Deadline Date”) from June 9, 2023 to July 9, 2023, and to allow the Company to elect to further extend in one-month increments (the “Extension”) up to eight additional times, or a total of up to nine months, until March 9, 2024. Also as previously disclosed, if an Extension is implemented, the Company or its designees will deposit into the trust account $21,000 per month, and $189,000 in the aggregate if all eight extensions are implemented, at the beginning of each month.

On October 4, 2023, the Board determined to implement the fifth Extension and to extend the Deadline Date for an additional month to November 9, 2023. In connection with the Extension, the Company deposited $21,000 to the Company’s trust account on October 5, 2023.
