Item 8.01. Other Events.
On November 3, 2022, The Music Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) filed a definitive proxy statement relating to a special meeting of stockholders in lieu of the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders to approve, among other things, (i) an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Charter Amendment Proposal”) and (ii) an amendment to the investment management trust agreement, dated February 2, 2021, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trust Amendment Proposal” and together with the Charter Amendment Proposal, the “Proposals”), which would, if implemented, allow the Company to redeem all of its outstanding Class A common stock (the “Public Shares”) prior to December 30, 2022 in advance of the Company’s contractual expiration date of February 5, 2023 by changing the date by which the Company must consummate a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination from February 5, 2023 to the time and date immediately following the filing of such amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Accelerated Termination Date”).
In connection with the approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal, the holders of Public Shares may elect to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares in exchange for their pro rata portion of the funds held in the trust account (the “Voluntary Redemption”). The Company expects to complete the Voluntary Redemption on or around the Accelerated Termination Date if stockholders approve the Proposals. If the Proposals are approved, the Company will redeem all remaining Public Shares not redeemed in the Voluntary Redemption not more than ten business days after the Accelerated Termination Date (the “Mandatory Redemption”). The Company expects to complete the Mandatory Redemption on or around December 9, 2022, if stockholders approve the Proposals.
The virtual special meeting will be held on Wednesday, November 30, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, and the record date for the meeting is the close of business (New York time) on October 31, 2022.
A copy of the press release is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 in compliance with Rule 14a-12 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is incorporated herein by reference.
