Votes for		Votes against		Abstentions
32,241,575		69,822		520

Accordingly, the Adjournment Proposal was approved.

In connection with the approval and implementation of the Charter Amendment, the holders of 33,825,224 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.08 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $340.95 million. Following such redemptions, 674,776 Public Shares remain outstanding.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

In the Redemption, the Public Shares will be redeemed at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (net of taxes payable, and less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses) (the “Redemption Amount”), by (B) the total number of then outstanding Public Shares. The Redemption will completely extinguish rights of the holders of Public Shares (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any). There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Redeemable Warrants, which will expire worthless upon the liquidation of the Company.

The Company estimates that the total Redemption Amount will be approximately $6.75 million, and the per-share Redemption Amount will be approximately $10.00.
