The Company’s stockholders voted on the following proposals (collectively, the “Proposals”) at the Special Meeting, which are described in more detail in the definitive proxy statement of the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 1, 2022 (as supplemented from time to time, the “Proxy Statement”).

Proposal No. 1 - The Charter Amendment Proposal - to adopt the Second Amended and Restated Charter to amend the date by which the Company must cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses from March 18, 2023 to the Amended Termination Date.


For	Against	Abstain	Broker Non-Votes
63,135,541	1,300	0	N/A

Proposal No. 2 - The Trust Amendment Proposal - to amend the Trust Agreement to change the date on which the trustee must commence liquidation of the trust account established in connection with the Company’s initial public offering to the Amended Termination Date.


For	Against	Abstain	Broker Non-Votes
63,135,541	1,300	0	N/A

As there were sufficient votes to approve the Proposals, the “Adjournment Proposal” described in the Proxy Statement was not presented to stockholders.

Item 8.01 Other Events

Since the Proposals were approved, and because the Company will not be able to complete an initial Business Combination by the Amended Termination Date, the Company will be obligated to redeem all Public Shares as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days after the Amended Termination Date (the “Mandatory Redemption”) and the Company’s warrants will expire worthless. The Company expects to complete the Mandatory Redemption on or around November 30, 2022 at a per-share redemption price of approximately $10.07.

On November 22, 2022, the Company filed a certificate of dissolution with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
