Victor, NY and Cootamundra New South Wales, Feb. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Australian Oilseeds Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Australian Oilseeds” or “Pubco”) and EDOC Acquisition Corp., a publicly-traded special purpose acquisition company (“EDOC”) (Nasdaq: ADOC, ADOCW, ADOCR), today announced that the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") has declared effective the registration Statement on Form F-4 (the "Registration Statement") in connection with Australian Oilseeds’ and EDOC’s previously announced proposed business combination (the “Business Combination”). The Registration Statement provides important information about Australian Oilseeds, EDOC and the Business Combination.

EDOC also announced that it will hold an extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders on February 26, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time for its shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 2, 2024 (the “Record Date”), at which EDOC shareholders will be asked to consider and vote upon proposals to approve the Business Combination and related matters.

EDOC will also file a definitive proxy statement/prospectus with the SEC relating to the Business Combination and will commence mailing the definitive proxy statement/prospectus to its shareholders as of the Record Date as soon as practicable. The Business Combination is expected to close shortly after the extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of EDOC and is subject to the approval of the shareholders of each of EDOC and Australian Oilseeds, exchange listing approval, as well as the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions in the business combination agreement and other customary closing conditions.

Upon closing of the Business Combination, Pubco is expected to trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) with its ordinary shares and warrants listed under the ticker symbols “COOT" and "COOTW,” respectively.

“This is an incredible milestone for the entire Australian Oilseeds team,” said Gary Seaton, CEO of Australian Oilseeds. “Upon the closing of this transaction, and our commencing trading as a publicly traded company, investors will have the opportunity to invest in Australian Oilseeds’ growth and mission to become a global leader in our market of providing chemical free non-GMO feed ingredients into the food supply chain as we continue to provide a healthier option for all consumers on a larger scale.”

Kevin Chen, Chief Executive Officer of EDOC, said “With the receipt of notice from the SEC informing us of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, we are excited to watch Australian Oilseeds move one step closer to becoming a publicly traded company and acting on its plan to increase value for our shareholders by growing the company’s business in the rapidly growing oilseeds market.”

Australian Oilseeds and EDOC previously announced their execution of a definitive business combination agreement on December 5, 2022. After the closing, Australian Oilseeds, through its subsidiaries, will be working with suppliers in the food supply chain to eliminate chemicals from the production and manufacturing systems to supply quality products to customers globally. Today, these subsidiaries operate as the largest cold pressing oil plant in Australia, pressing strictly GMO free conventional and organic oilseeds to supply to the burgeoning oilseeds market driven by the demand for healthy and organic oilseed-processed products.

EDOC shareholders are urged to read the proxy materials, including, among other things, the reasons for the unanimous recommendation by EDOC’s board of directors that shareholders vote "FOR" the Business Combination proposal, as well as the other proposals to be voted upon at the shareholder meeting. As further detailed in the definitive proxy statement/prospectus, any holders of EDOC’s public shares who wish to redeem their shares at the extraordinary general meeting of EDOC’s shareholders, must do so before 5:00 pm Eastern Time on February 22, 2024, by submitting a written request and delivering their share certificates (if any) or other redemption forms, physically or electronically through DWAC, to EDOC’s stock transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer pursuant to the instructions contained in the definitive proxy statement/prospectus and proxy cards. If you have any questions or need assistance voting, please contact Advantage Proxy, EDOC’s proxy solicitor, by telephone at (877) 870-8565 or by email at ksmith@advantageproxy.com. EDOC shareholders who hold shares in "street name" (i.e., shareholders whose shares are held of record by a broker, bank, or other nominee) should contact their broker, bank, or nominee to ensure that their shares are voted.
