(the “Company”) and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”) entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated October 27, 2020, to extend the date on which the Trustee must liquidate the trust account established in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (the “trust account”) if the Company has not completed its initial business combination from October 30, 2022 to October 20, 2023 (the “Trust Amendment”). A copy of the Trust Amendment is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

 

At the Extraordinary General Meeting, holders of 64,516,622 of the Company’s ordinary shares, which represents approximately 84.96% of the ordinary shares outstanding and entitled to vote as of the record date of August 22, 2022, were represented in person or by proxy.

 

At the Extraordinary General Meeting, the shareholders approved (1) a special resolution to amend the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company (the “Extension Amendment”) to extend the date by which the Company must (a) consummate a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (a “business combination”), (b) cease its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete such business combination, and (c) redeem all of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares included as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering from October 30, 2022 to October 30, 2023 and (2) the proposal to approve the Trust Amendment. A copy of the Extension Amendment is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

The proposal to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there were insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the Extension Amendment proposal or the Trust Amendment proposal, was not presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting, as the Extension Amendment proposal and the Trust Amendment proposal received a sufficient number of votes required for approval.
