LF Capital Acquisition Corp. II Updates Proxy Statement

 

DALLAS, February 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- On January 27, 2023, LF Capital Acquisition Corp. II (the “Company”) filed a definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) for the solicitation of proxies in connection with a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders to be held on February 15, 2023 to consider and vote on, among other proposals, the amendment of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “charter”) to increase the monthly extension payments per one-month extension of the deadline to complete an initial business combination to $0.04 per share of the company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share.

 

As disclosed in the Proxy Statement, the Company may be liable to pay a 1% federal excise tax imposed under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “Excise Tax”) in connection with redemptions by the Company of its shares of Class A Common Stock. To mitigate the current uncertainty surrounding the Excise Tax, the Company has filed a Supplement to the Proxy Statement, dated February 3, 2023, to notify all concerned parties that the Company does not intend to hold back funds to pay any Excise Tax with respect to redemptions resulting from stockholders seeking to make the election to have their shares of common stock redeemed in connection with the Charter Amendment Proposal.

 

Stockholders who have previously submitted their proxies or otherwise voted and who do not want to change their vote need not take any action.

 

In order to allow additional time for the Company to engage with its stockholders, the Company has postponed the timing of the deadline for delivering redemption requests from the Company’s stockholders in connection with the Charter Amendment Proposal from February 15, 2023 to February 17, 2023.

 

Participants in the Solicitation

 

The Company and its directors and executive officers and other persons may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the Company’s shareholders in respect of the special meeting of stockholders and the Charter Amendment Proposal and related matters. Information regarding the Company’s directors and executive officers is available in Company’s proxy statement for the special meeting filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on January 27, 2023. Additional information regarding the participants in the proxy solicitation and a description of their direct and indirect interests are contained in the Proxy Statement.

 

No Offer or Solicitation

 

This communication shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which the offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

Additional Information
