On April 19, 2023, Crescera Capital Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) filed a definitive proxy statement (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”) for the solicitation of proxies in connection with a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders to be held on May 16, 2023 (the “Shareholder Meeting”) to consider and vote on, among other proposals, an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Articles”) to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a business combination (the “Extension Amendment”) from May 23, 2023 (the date which is 18 months from the closing date of the Company’s initial public offering of shares of Class A shares (the “IPO”) (the “Original Termination Date”) to November 23, 2023 (the date which is 24 months from the closing date of the Company’s IPO) (the “Articles Extension Date”), or such earlier date as determined by CCAP’s board of directors (the “Board”), and to allow the Board of CCAP, without another shareholder vote, to extend the period of time to consummate the initial business combination for an additional 6 months after the Articles Extension Date on the same terms as the Original Extension Right (as defined in the Definitive Proxy Statement) as contemplated by our IPO prospectus and in accordance with the Articles, if requested by CC Sponsor LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until May 23, 2024 (the date which is 30 months from the closing date of the Company’s IPO) (the “Additional Articles Extension Date”), or a total of twelve months after the Original Termination Date, as provided by the first resolution in the form set forth in Annex A to the accompanying proxy statement (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”). Every reference to February 23, 2023 in the Definitive Proxy Statement shall be May 23, 2023, the date that is 30 months from the closing of the IPO.

CRESCERA CAPITAL ACQUISITION CORP.

Dated April 20, 2023

 

The following disclosures in this Current Report on Form 8-K supplement, and should be read in conjunction with, the disclosures contained in the Company’s definitive proxy statement (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 19, 2023, which in turn should be read in its entirety.

Extension Amendment Proposal and the Contribution

 

To allow for additional time to consummate the potential business combination, the Board of Directors of the Company believes it is in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a business combination through the Additional Articles Extension Date.

 

The Definitive Proxy Statement is hereby amended in that for each instance of February 23, 2024 we amend to refer to May 23, 2024.

 

 1. Proposal No. 1 — The Extension Amendment Proposal — To amend, by way of special resolution, CCAP’s Articles to extend the date (the “Termination Date”) by which CCAP has to consummate a Business Combination (the “Extension Amendment”) from May 23, 2023 (the date which is 18 months from the closing date of the Company’s initial public offering of shares of Class A shares (the “IPO”) (the “Original Termination Date”) to November 23, 2023 (the date which is 24 months from the closing date of the Company’s IPO) (the “Articles Extension Date”), or such earlier date as determined by CCAP’s board of directors (the “Board”), and to allow the Board of CCAP, without another shareholder vote, to extend the period of time to consummate the initial business combination for an additional 6 months after the Articles Extension Date on the same terms as the Original Extension Right (as defined below) as contemplated by our IPO prospectus and in accordance with the Articles, if requested by CC Sponsor LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until May 23, 2024 (the date which is 30 months from the closing date of the Company’s IPO) (the “Additional Articles Extension Date”), or a total of twelve months after the Original Termination Date, as provided by the first resolution in the form set forth in Annex A to the accompanying proxy statement (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”);

 

As contemplated by the Articles, the holders of CCAP’s Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), issued as part of the units sold in CCAP’s initial public offering (the “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 a trust account (the “Trust Account”) established to hold a portion of the proceeds of the initial public offering and the concurrent sale of the private placement warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”), if the Extension Amendment is implemented (the “Redemption”), regardless of how such public shareholders vote in regard to the Extension Amendment Proposal. If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved by the requisite vote of shareholders, the holders of Public Shares remaining after the Redemption will retain their right to redeem their Public Shares for their pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust Account upon consummation of a Business Combination or if CCAP does not complete a Business Combination by the Articles Extension Date or the Additional Articles Extension Date (May 23, 2024 (the date which is 30 months from the closing date of the Company’s IPO)).

 

Without the Extension Amendment (as defined below) and assuming the Original Extension Right is not exercised, CCAP believes that it will not, despite its best efforts, be able to complete an initial business combination (a “Business Combination”) on or before May 23, 2023. The Board believes that it is in the best interests of CCAP’s shareholders to continue CCAP’s existence until May 23, 2024, if necessary, in order to allow CCAP additional time to complete a Business Combination and is therefore holding this Shareholder Meeting.

 

1.Proposal No. 1 — The Extension Amendment Proposal — To amend, by way of special resolution, CCAP’s Articles to extend the date (the “Extension Amendment”) from May 23, 2023 (the date which is 18 months from the closing date of the Company’s initial public offering of shares of Class A shares (the “IPO”) (the “Original Termination Date”) to November 23, 2023 (the date which is 24 months from the closing date of the Company’s IPO) (the “Articles Extension Date”), or such earlier date as determined by CCAP’s board of directors (the “Board”), and to allow the Board of CCAP, without another shareholder vote, to extend the period of time to consummate the initial business combination for an additional 6 months after the Articles Extension Date on the same terms as the Original Extension Right (as defined below) as contemplated by our IPO prospectus and in accordance with the Articles, if requested by CC Sponsor LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until May 23, 2024 (the date which is 30 months from the closing date of the Company’s IPO) (the “Additional Articles Extension Date”), or a total of twelve months after the Original Termination Date, as provided by the first resolution in the form set forth in Annex A to this proxy statement (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”);

1.The Extension Amendment Proposal — To amend, by way of special resolution, CCAP’s Articles to extend the date (the “Termination Date”) by which CCAP has to consummate a Business Combination (the “Extension Amendment”) from May 23, 2023 (the date which is 18 months from the closing date of the Company’s initial public offering of shares of Class A shares (the “IPO”) (the “Original Termination Date”) to November 23, 2023 (the date which is 24 months from the closing date of the Company’s IPO) (the “Articles Extension Date”), or such earlier date as determined by CCAP’s board of directors (the “Board”), and to allow the board of CCAP, without another shareholder vote, to extend the period of time to consummate the initial business combination for an additional 6 months after the Articles Extension Date on the same terms as the Original Extension Right (as defined below) as contemplated by our IPO prospectus and in accordance with the Articles, if requested by CC Sponsor LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until May 23, 2024 (the date which is 30 months from the closing date of the Company’s IPO) (the “Additional Articles Extension Date”), or a total of twelve months after the Original Termination Date, as provided by the first resolution in the form set forth in Annex A to the accompanying proxy statement (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”);
