Item 8.01. Other Events.

As previously reported on September 27, 2023, Global Partner Acquisition Corp II, a Cayman Island exempted company (the “Company”), announced that September 27, 2023 was no longer the last day of trading and that the revised expected last day of trading of the Company’s public shares, units, and warrants would be on or about September 28, 2023 or September 29, 2023.

The Company is announcing today that neither September 28, 2023 or September 29, 2023 was the last day of trading. Rather the revised expected last day of trading of the Company’s public shares, units, and warrants will be on or about October 2, 2023 or October 3, 2023. The Company expects to redeem all of the outstanding Class A ordinary shares par value $0.0001 per share of the Company (the "Class A Ordinary Shares"), on or about the first business day following such last day of trading. The Company expects to retain $100,000 of the interest from the Company’s trust account to pay dissolution expenses, after which the per-share redemption price for the Class A Ordinary Shares is expected to be approximately $10.815.
