Mandatory Redemption
Since the Proposals were approved, and because the Company will not be able to complete a Business Combination by the Amended Termination Date, the Company will be obligated to redeem all outstanding Public Shares as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days after the Amended Termination Date (the “Mandatory Redemption”), and the Company’s warrants will expire worthless. The Company expects to complete the Mandatory Redemption on or around December 20, 2022 at a per-share redemption price of approximately $10.10.
Delisting and Deregistration
On December 15, 2022, the Company notified The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) of the Mandatory Redemption and requested that Nasdaq (i) suspend trading of the Company’s Public Shares, redeemable warrants, each exercisable for one Public Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Redeemable Warrants”), and units, each consisting of one Public Share and one-third of one Redeemable Warrant (collectively with the Public Shares and the Redeemable Warrants, the “Securities”), effective before the opening of trading on December 16, 2022, and (ii) file with the SEC a Form 25 Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration (“Form 25”) to delist and deregister the Securities under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Once Form 25 becomes effective to deregister the Securities under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, the Company intends to file a Form 15 Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration with the SEC, requesting that the Company’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act be suspended with respect to the Securities.
In connection with the foregoing matters, the Company issued a press release, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 8.01.
