At the Extraordinary General Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved a proposal (the “Trust Amendment Proposal”) to amend the Company’s investment management trust agreement, dated as of August 12, 2021 (the “IMTA”), by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from August 17, 2023 to August 17, 2024 or such earlier date as is determined by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) to be in the best interests of the Company (the “Extension”). Following such approval by the Company’s shareholders, the Company and Continental entered into Amendment No. 1 to the IMTA on August 15, 2023 (the “IMTA Amendment”).
