PEGASUS DIGITAL MOBILITY ACQUISITION CORP.
100 Field Point Rd., 1st Floor, Greenwich, CT 06830
Dear Shareholders of Pegasus Digital Mobility Acquisition Corp.:
You are cordially invited to attend the extraordinary general meeting (“Extraordinary General Meeting”) of shareholders of PEGASUS DIGITAL MOBILITY ACQUISITION CORP., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) to be held on December 7, 2023, at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, in person at the offices of Appleby located at 9th Floor, 60 Nexus Way, Camana Bay, Grand Cayman, KY1-1104, Cayman Islands and virtually over the internet via live audio webcast at https://www.cstproxy.com/pegasusdigitalmobility/ext2023, or at such other time, on such other date and at such other place to which the meeting may be adjourned. You will be able to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting virtually online, vote and submit your questions during the Extraordinary General Meeting by visiting https://www.cstproxy.com/pegasusdigitalmobility/ext2023 and entering the 12-digit control number found on your proxy card or notice of the Extraordinary General Meeting.
Your vote is very important. Whether you plan to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting or not, please vote as soon as possible by following the instructions in the accompanying proxy statement to make sure that your shares are represented and voted at the Extraordinary General Meeting. If you are a shareholder of record, please complete, sign, date and return your proxy card in the postage-paid envelope as soon as possible and to be received by our proxy agent, Morrow Sodali LLC (the “Proxy Agent”) by no later than 48 hours before the time appointed for the Extraordinary General Meeting to commence, or authorize the individuals named on your proxy card to vote your shares by using the Internet as described in the instructions included with your proxy card. Submitting a proxy now will not prevent you from being able to attend and cast your vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting (including virtually online). If your shares are held in “street name” in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you will need to follow the instructions provided to you by your bank, broker or other nominee to ensure that the shares you beneficially own are represented and voted at the Extraordinary General Meeting. In this regard, you must instruct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote the shares you beneficially own, or if you wish to attend and vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting (including virtually online), you must timely obtain a legal proxy from your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee and follow the instructions detailed in the accompanying proxy statement.
The accompanying proxy statement describes the business the Company will conduct at the Extraordinary General Meeting and provides information about the Company that you should consider when you vote your shares.
As set forth in the accompanying proxy statement, at the Extraordinary General Meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote upon the following proposals:
1.
Proposal No. 1 — The Articles Amendment Proposal — A proposal, by special resolution, to amend and restate the Company’s current second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Memorandum and Articles”) by adopting the third amended and restated memorandum and articles of association in the form set forth in Annex A of the accompanying proxy statement (the “Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles”), to (i) remove references to term limits for directors of the Company, (ii) make certain updates to reflect the prior exercises by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) of the extension options set out in the Memorandum and Articles, pursuant to which the date by which the Company has to consummate a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination (“business combination”) was extended from April 26, 2023 to July 26, 2023 (the “Second Extension” and such date, the “Second Extension Date”) and subsequently extended from the Second Extension Date to December 31, 2023 (the “Third Extension” and such date, the “Third Extension Date”), and (ii) insert a fourth extension option to enable the Board to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from the Third Extension Date to April 30, 2024 (subject to the Sponsor committing to deposit $0.03 per Public Share then in issue in the Company’s trust account (the “Trust Account”) on the first business day of each month starting on January 2, 2024 until the earliest of (i) the date on which the Company consummates an initial Business Combination or (ii) April 30, 2024) (the “Fourth
 

 
Extension” and such date, the “Fourth Extension Date”). The effectiveness of the Articles Amendment Proposal is conditioned on the Company having net tangible assets of at least US$5,000,001 after giving effect to any redemptions of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share issued in the IPO (the “Class A Ordinary Shares” or “Public Shares” and the holders of such Public Shares, the “Public Shareholders”) which are tendered for redemption in connection with the shareholder vote on the Articles Amendment Proposal (the “Minimum NTA Condition”); and
2.
Proposal No. 2 — The Adjournment Proposal — A proposal, by ordinary resolution, to approve the adjournment of the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates or sine die, if necessary or appropriate, either (i) to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Articles Amendment Proposal or (ii) if the Board determines before the Extraordinary General Meeting that it is not necessary or no longer desirable to proceed with the Articles Amendment Proposal (the “Adjournment Proposal”). In either such case, the Adjournment Proposal will be the only proposal presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
Each of the proposals is more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement, which you are encouraged to read carefully.
The purpose of the Articles Amendment Proposal is to amend and restate the Memorandum and Articles, in the form of the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles set forth in Annex A, to, among other things, provide the Board with an option to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination for a fourth time to the Fourth Extension Date (April 30, 2024) to provide the Company with more time to complete its previously announced business combination with Gebr. SCHMID GmbH, a German limited liability company (“Schmid”) (the “Business Combination”). On May 31, 2023, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as amended by the First Amendment to the Business Combination Agreement dated September 26, 2023, and as may be further amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”) by and among the Company, Schmid, Pegasus TopCo B.V., a Dutch private limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“TopCo”) and Pegasus MergerSub Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of TopCo (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, among other things, TopCo will become the parent entity of both Schmid and the Company and the securityholders of Schmid and the Company will become securityholders of TopCo.
While the Company and the other parties to the Business Combination Agreement are working toward the completion of the Business Combination, the Board currently believes that there will not be sufficient time, within the applicable time limits outlined in the current Memorandum and Articles, to complete the Business Combination. The Board believes that the initial business combination opportunity with Schmid is compelling and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Therefore, the Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to amend and restate the Memorandum and Articles, in the form of the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles set forth in Annex A of the accompanying proxy statement, to, among other things, provide the Board with an option to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate the Business Combination for a fourth time from December 31, 2023 to April 30, 2024. If the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved by the requisite vote of our shareholders and the Minimum NTA Condition is satisfied, and the Board elects to exercise the Fourth Extension, the Company would have until the Fourth Extension Date (April 30, 2024) to consummate a business combination. Prior to the closing of the initial Business Combination, another shareholder meeting will be held in order to seek shareholder approval of such business combination and related proposals. In connection with the shareholder meeting to approve the Business Combination and related proposals, Public Shareholders will have the right to redeem their Public Shares in accordance with the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles, subject to any limitations set forth therein. In order to minimize redemption levels, the exercise of the Fourth Extension is subject to the Sponsor committing to deposit $0.03 per Public Share then in issue to the Trust Account on the first business day of each month starting on January 2, 2024 until the earliest of (i) the date on which the Company consummates an initial Business Combination or (ii) April 30, 2024. On October 12, 2023, the Company gave instructions to liquidate the assets held in trust, two money market funds comprised substantially of U.S.
 

 
Treasury instruments, and reinvest the full proceeds into an interest-bearing direct deposit account with the Company’s custodian bank. The transfer was completed on October 16, 2023. As of October 16, 2023, $54,771,964.33 remained in the Trust Account and had been reinvested into the interest-bearing direct deposit account with our custodian bank, which — based on information received from the Company’s custodian bank — is yielding interest marginally below U.S. Treasury rates as of the end of October 2023.
For more information regarding the Business Combination and the Business Combination Agreement, please read the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K relating to the Business Combination that were filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 31, 2023 and September 26, 2023, including the complete text of the Business Combination Agreement and related amendments provided as exhibits thereto, and the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus included in the Registration Statement on Form F-4 filed by TopCo on September 26, 2023 in connection with the shareholder vote for the Business Combination Agreement, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time.
The purpose of the Adjournment Proposal, if presented, is to allow the Company to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates if we determine that additional time is necessary to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes to approve the Articles Amendment Proposal or if we determine that additional time is necessary to effectuate the Articles Amendment Proposal. The Company also reserves the right to move to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting sine die in the event that the Board determines before the Extraordinary General Meeting that is not necessary or no longer desirable to proceed with the Articles Amendment Proposal. In either case, at the Extraordinary General Meeting the Company will ask its shareholders to vote only upon the Adjournment Proposal and not on the Articles Amendment Proposal.
Recent Developments
As announced on April 19, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders at which its shareholders approved a proposal to amend its then existing amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and adopted the current Memorandum and Articles (the “April 2023 EGM”), which, among other things, amended the amount which Pegasus Digital Mobility Sponsor LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), was required to deposit in the Trust Account in order to exercise the Second Extension to $0.10 per Public Share then in issue (after giving effect to any redemptions of Public Shares which were tendered for redemption in connection with the April 2023 EGM) and inserted an additional option to enable the Board to further extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination for a third time from July 26, 2023 to December 31, 2023. In connection with the vote to approve such proposals, 15,300,927 Public Shares were redeemed and, following such redemption, 7,199,073 Public Shares remained outstanding.
On April 24, 2023, the Board announced its decision to exercise the Second Extension to extend the period of time the Company had to consummate a business combination from April 26, 2023 to July 26, 2023. The Company issued a non-convertible unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $719,907.30 to the Sponsor in connection with the Board’s decision to exercise the Second Extension and the Sponsor depositing an equivalent amount into the Trust Account.
On July 14, 2023, the Board announced its decision to exercise the Third Extension to extend the period of time the Company has to consummate a business combination from July 26, 2023 to December 31, 2023, and the Sponsor voluntarily committed to make a monthly contribution to the Trust Account commencing on August 1, 2023 until the earliest of (i) the date on which the Company consummates a business combination or (ii) December 31, 2023. The monthly contribution was equal to $0.03 per Public Share outstanding, which, after giving effect to the redemption of 2,195,855 Public Shares which were tendered in connection with the exercise of the Third Extension, amounted to $150,096.54 per month. Following such redemptions in connection with the exercise of the Third Extension, 5,003,218 Public Shares remain in issue and outstanding.
If the Company does not consummate an initial business combination on or before December 31, 2023 (the applicable time limits provided by the current Memorandum and Articles), unless the Company’s shareholders approve an amendment to the Memorandum and Articles to extend such termination date, the Company is required to (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as
 

 
reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem all of the Public Shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of Public Shares then in issue, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law.
Under the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles, if approved, the Board will have the option to extend the time the Company has to consummate an initial business combination to the Fourth Extension Date. Even if the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved, there can be no assurance that the Business Combination or any other initial business combination will be consummated by the Fourth Extension Date or that, if submitted to a vote of the shareholders, such business combination will be approved.
In connection with the Articles Amendment Proposal, Public Shareholders may elect to redeem their Public Shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, regardless of how such Public Shareholders vote on the Articles Amendment Proposal or if they vote at all and regardless of whether such Public Shareholders held Public Shares on the record date established in connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting, by following the instructions in the accompanying proxy statement. Pursuant to the Memorandum and Articles, the Company may not redeem Public Shares in an amount that would cause the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 following such redemption, which condition may not be waived by the Board.
If the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved by the requisite vote of our shareholders and the Minimum NTA Condition is satisfied, the new Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles will be effective and the Company will (i) remove from the Trust Account an amount (the “Withdrawal Amount”) equal to the pro rata portion of funds available in the Trust Account relating to any Public Shares validly redeemed by holders in connection with the Articles Amendment Proposal, if any, and (ii) deliver to the holders of such redeemed Public Shares their pro rata portion of the Withdrawal Amount. The remainder of such funds shall remain in the Trust Account and be available for use by the Company to complete a business combination up to the Fourth Extension Date.
If the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved by the requisite vote of shareholders and the Minimum NTA Condition is satisfied, the remaining Public Shareholders will retain their right to redeem their Public Shares (i) upon consummation of our initial business combination, subject to any limitations set forth in the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles or (ii)if the Company has not completed an initial business combination within the applicable time limit provided by the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles (i.e. on or before the Third Extension Date, or on or before the Fourth Extension Date if the Fourth Extension is exercised).
The amount held in the Trust Account as of November 8, 2023 is estimated to be $54,951,684.06, consisting of the proceeds of the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) and the private placement of warrants sold to the Sponsor, plus deposits by the Sponsor in connection with the First, Second and Third Extensions and interest earned, less taxes and distributions to redeeming shareholders in connection with the April 2023 EGM and the exercise of the Third Extension. Based upon this amount, the Company estimates that the per-share price at which Public Shares may be redeemed from cash held in the Trust Account will be approximately $11.03 at the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting. The closing price of the Public Shares on November 10, 2023 was $11.00. The Company cannot assure shareholders that they will be able to sell their Public Shares in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when such shareholders wish to sell their shares.
The Company cannot predict the amount that will remain in the Trust Account if the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved and implemented. The removal of the Withdrawal Amount from the
 

 
Trust Account will reduce the amount held in the Trust Account following the Extraordinary General Meeting, and the amount remaining in the Trust Account may be only a small fraction of the approximately $54,951,684.06 that was in the Trust Account as of November 8, 2023. In such event, we may need to obtain additional funds to complete an initial business combination, and there can be no assurance that such funds will be available on terms acceptable or at all.
As noted above, pursuant to the current Memorandum and Articles, a Public Shareholder may request that the Company redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares for cash if the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved and implemented. A Public Shareholder who wishes to exercise redemption rights in connection with the Articles Amendment Proposal must:
i.
(a) hold Public Shares or (b) hold Public Shares as part of the combined units offered in the Company’s IPO, which each consisted of one Public Share and one-half of one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrants” and together with the Public Shares, the “Units”) and elect to separate such Units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares in connection with the vote to approve the Articles Amendment Proposal; and
ii.
prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 5, 2023, (two business days prior to the vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting), (a) submit a written request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, that the Company redeem their Public Shares for cash and (b) deliver their Public Shares to the transfer agent, physically or electronically through The Depository Trust Company. The Company also requests that any requests for redemption include the identity as to the beneficial owner making such request, including such beneficial owner’s legal name, phone number and address.
Holders of Units of the Company must elect to separate the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares. If holders hold their Units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the Units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants, or if a holder holds Units registered in its, his or her own name, the holder must contact the transfer agent directly and instruct it to do so. Public Shareholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares even if they vote for the Articles Amendment Proposal.
If the Articles Amendment Proposal is not approved and we do not consummate an initial business combination on or before December 31, 2023 (the applicable time limits outlined in the current Memorandum and Articles, the Company will:
i.
cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up;
ii.
as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and
iii.
as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law.
There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the applicable time limits outlined in the current Memorandum and Articles or, if the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved and implemented, within the applicable time limits outlined in the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles.
In the event of a liquidation, holders of our Class B ordinary shares, par value of $0.0001 per share (“Founder Shares” or “Class B Ordinary Shares” and, together with the Class A Ordinary Shares, the
 

 
Ordinary Shares”), including the Sponsor, our anchor investors and our independent directors, will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of their ownership of Founder Shares.
The approval of the Articles Amendment Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares entitled to vote, and who, being present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof, vote on such matter.
The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares entitled to vote, and who, being present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof, vote on such matter.
The Board has fixed the close of business on November 6, 2023 as the record date for determining the Company’s shareholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting and any adjournment thereof. Only holders of record of Ordinary Shares on such date are entitled to have their votes counted at the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof.
You are not being asked to vote on an initial business combination at this time. If the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved and the Minimum NTA Condition is satisfied, and you do not elect to redeem all your Public Shares, you will retain the right to vote on any such business combination when and if it is submitted to shareholders (provided that you are a shareholder on the applicable record date) and the right to redeem your remaining Public Shares for cash in the event a business combination is approved and completed or in the event we have not consummated a business combination within the applicable time limits outlined in the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles. There can be no assurance that we will exercise the Fourth Extension and, if exercised, that we will be able to complete a business combination before the Fourth Extension Date, or at all.
THE BOARD HAS DETERMINED THAT EACH OF THE PROPOSALS ARE ADVISABLE AND IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE COMPANY AND ITS SHAREHOLDERS AND RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE OR GIVE INSTRUCTION TO VOTE “FOR” EACH OF THE ARTICLES AMENDMENT PROPOSAL AND, IF PRESENTED, THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL.
All of our shareholders are cordially invited to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting.
A shareholder’s failure to vote in person or by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting will not be counted towards the number of Ordinary Shares present required to validly establish a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established, will not count as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of the votes on the proposals.
If you have any questions or need assistance voting your Ordinary Shares, please contact our Proxy Agent by calling +1 (800) 662-5200, or banks and brokers can call collect at +1 (203) 658-9400, or by emailing PGSS.info@investor.morrowsodali.com.

Proposal No. 1 — The Articles Amendment Proposal — A proposal, by special resolution, to amend and restate the Company’s current second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Memorandum and Articles”) by adopting the third amended and restated memorandum and articles of association in the form set forth in Annex A of the accompanying proxy statement (the “Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles”), to (i) remove references to term limits for directors of the Company, (ii) make certain updates to reflect the prior exercises by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) of the extension options set out in the Memorandum and Articles, pursuant to which the date by which the Company has to consummate a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination (“business combination”) was extended from April 26, 2023 to July 26, 2023 (the “Second Extension” and such date, the “Second Extension Date”) and subsequently extended from the Second Extension Date to December 31, 2023 (the “Third Extension” and such date, the “Third Extension Date”), and (iii) insert a fourth extension option to enable the Board to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from the Third Extension Date to April 30, 2024 (subject to the Sponsor committing to deposit $0.03 per Public Share then in issue in the Company’s trust account (the “Trust Account”) on the first business day of each month starting on January 2, 2024 until the earliest of (i) the date on which the Company consummates an initial Business Combination or (ii) April 30, 2024) (the “Fourth Extension” and such date, the “Fourth Extension Date”). The effectiveness of the Articles Amendment Proposal is conditioned on the Company having net tangible assets of at least US$5,000,001 after giving effect to any redemptions of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share issued in the IPO (the “Class A Ordinary Shares” or “Public Shares” and
 

 
the holders of such Public Shares, the “Public Shareholders”) which are tendered for redemption in connection with the shareholder vote on the Articles Amendment Proposal (the “Minimum NTA Condition”).
The full text of the resolution to be voted on is as follows:
“RESOLVED, as a special resolution, that, conditional upon the Company having net tangible assets of at least US$5,000,001 after giving effect to any share redemptions in connection with this resolution pursuant to article 54.7 of the existing memorandum and articles of association of the Company, the existing memorandum and articles of association of the Company be and are hereby replaced in their entirety with the new third amended and restated memorandum and articles of association in the form set forth in Annex A of the accompanying proxy statement.”
2.
Proposal No. 2 — The Adjournment Proposal — A proposal, by ordinary resolution, to approve the adjournment of the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates or sine die, if necessary or appropriate, either (i) to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Articles Amendment Proposal or (ii) if the Board determines before the Extraordinary General Meeting that it is not necessary or no longer desirable to proceed with the Articles Amendment Proposal (the “Adjournment Proposal”). In either such case, the Adjournment Proposal will be the only proposal presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
The full text of the resolution to be voted on is as follows:
“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that the adjournment of the extraordinary general meeting sine die or to a later time, date and place to be determined by the chairman of the extraordinary general meeting be and is hereby authorized and approved.”
The above matters are more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement. We urge you to read carefully the accompanying proxy statement in its entirety.
The purpose of the Articles Amendment Proposal is to amend and restate the Memorandum and Articles, in the form of the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles set forth in Annex A, to, among other things, provide the Board with an option to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination for a fourth time to the Fourth Extension Date (April 30, 2024) to provide the Company with more time to complete its previously announced business combination with Gebr. SCHMID GmbH, a German limited liability company (“Schmid”) (the “Business Combination”). On May 31, 2023, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as amended by the First Amendment to the Business Combination Agreement dated September 26, 2023, and as may be further amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”) by and among the Company, Schmid, Pegasus TopCo B.V., a Dutch private limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“TopCo”) and Pegasus MergerSub Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of TopCo (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, among other things, TopCo will become the parent entity of both Schmid and the Company and the securityholders of Schmid and the Company will become securityholders of TopCo.
While the Company and the other parties to the Business Combination Agreement are working toward completion of the Business Combination, the Board currently believes that there will not be sufficient time, within the applicable time limits outlined in the current Memorandum and Articles, to complete the Business Combination. The Board believes that the initial business combination opportunity with Schmid is compelling and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Therefore, the Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to amend and restate the Memorandum and Articles, in the form of the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles set forth in Annex A of the accompanying proxy statement, to, among other things, provide the Board with an option to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate the Business Combination for a fourth time from December 31, 2023 to April 30, 2024. If the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved by the requisite vote of our shareholders and the Minimum NTA Condition is satisfied, and the Board elects to exercise the Fourth Extension, the Company would have until the Fourth Extension Date (April 30), 2024 to consummate a business combination. Prior to the closing of the initial Business Combination, another
 

 
shareholder meeting will be held in order to seek shareholder approval of the Business Combination and related proposals. In connection with the shareholder meeting to approve the Business Combination and related proposals, Public Shareholders will have the right to redeem their Public Shares in accordance with the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles, subject to any limitations set forth therein. In order to minimize redemption levels, the exercise of the Fourth Extension is subject to the Sponsor committing to deposit $0.03 per Public Share then in issue to the Trust Account on the first business day of each month starting on January 2, 2024 until the earliest of (i) the date on which the Company consummates an initial Business Combination or (ii) April 30, 2024. On October 12, 2023, the Company gave instructions to liquidate the assets held in trust, two money market funds comprised substantially of U.S. Treasury instruments, and reinvest the full proceeds into an interest-bearing direct deposit account with the Company’s custodian bank. The transfer was completed on October 16, 2023. As of October 16, 2023, $54,771,964.33 remained in the Trust Account and had been reinvested into the interest-bearing direct deposit account with our custodian bank, which — based on information received from the Company’s custodian bank — is yielding interest marginally below U.S. Treasury rates as of the end of October 2023.
The purpose of the Adjournment Proposal, if presented, is to allow the Company to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates if we determine that additional time is necessary to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes to approve the Articles Amendment Proposal or if we determine that additional time is necessary to effectuate the Articles Amendment Proposal. The Company also reserves the right to move to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting sine die in the event that the Board determines before the Extraordinary General Meeting that is not necessary or no longer desirable to proceed with the Articles Amendment Proposal. In either case, at the Extraordinary General Meeting the Company will ask its shareholders to vote only upon the Adjournment Proposal and not on the Articles Amendment Proposal.
The approval of the Articles Amendment Proposal is a condition to the implementation of the Fourth Extension. In addition, the effectiveness of the Articles Amendment Proposal is conditioned on the Company having net tangible assets of at least US$5,000,001 after giving effect to any redemptions of Public Shares which are tendered for redemption in connection with the shareholder vote on the Articles Amendment Proposal.
The Board has fixed the close of business on November 6, 2023 as the record date (“Record Date”) for determining the Company’s shareholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting and any adjournment thereof. Only holders of record of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“Founder Shares” or “Class B Ordinary Shares” and, together with the Class A Ordinary Shares, the “Ordinary Shares”) on such date are entitled to have their votes counted at the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof.
The approval of the Articles Amendment Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands laws, being the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares entitled to vote and who, being present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof, vote on such matter.
The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares entitled to vote and who, being present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof, vote on such matter.
A shareholder’s failure to vote in person or by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting will not be counted towards the number of Ordinary Shares present required to validly establish a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established, will not count as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of the votes on the proposals.
In connection with the Articles Amendment Proposal, Public Shareholders may elect to redeem their Public Shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, regardless of how such Public Shareholders vote on the Articles
 

 
Amendment Proposal or if they vote at all and regardless of whether such Public Shareholders held Public Shares on the record date established in connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting, by following the instructions in the accompanying proxy statement. Pursuant to the Memorandum and Articles, the Company may not redeem Public Shares in an amount that would cause the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 following such redemption, which condition may not be waived by the Board.
If the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved by the requisite vote of our shareholders and subject to the Company having net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 after taking into account any redemption of Public Shares, the new Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles will be effective and the Company will (i) remove from the Trust Account an amount (the “Withdrawal Amount”) equal to the pro rata portion of funds available in the Trust Account relating to any Public Shares validly redeemed by holders in connection with the Articles Amendment Proposal, if any, and (ii) deliver to the holders of such redeemed Public Shares their pro rata portion of the Withdrawal Amount. The remainder of such funds shall remain in the Trust Account and be available for use by the Company to complete a business combination up to the Fourth Extension Date.
If the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved by the requisite vote of shareholders and the Minimum NTA Condition is satisfied, the remaining Public Shareholders will retain their right to redeem their Public Shares (i) upon consummation of our initial business combination, subject to any limitations set forth in the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles or (ii) if the Company has not completed an initial business combination within the applicable time limit provided by the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles (i.e. on or before the Third Extension Date, or on or before the Fourth Extension Date if the Fourth Extension is exercised).
The Company cannot predict the amount that will remain in the Trust Account if the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved and implemented. If the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved and the corresponding amendments to the Company’s Memorandum and Articles become effective, the removal of the Withdrawal Amount, if any, from the Trust Account, will reduce the Company’s net asset value. The removal of the Withdrawal Amount from the Trust Account will reduce the amount held in the Trust Account following the Extraordinary General Meeting, and the amount remaining in the Trust Account may be only a small fraction of the approximately $54,951,684.06 that was in the Trust Account as of November 8, 2023. In such event, the Company may need to obtain additional funds to complete its initial business combination and there can be no assurance that such funds will be available on terms acceptable to the parties or at all.
As noted above, pursuant to the current Memorandum and Articles, a Public Shareholder may request that the Company redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares for cash if the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved and implemented. A Public Shareholder who wishes to exercise redemption rights in connection with the Articles Amendment Proposal must:
i.
(a) hold Public Shares or (b) hold Public Shares as part of the combined units offered in the Company’s IPO, which each consisted of one Public Share and one-half of one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrants” and together with the Public Shares, the “Units”) and elect to separate such Units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares in connection with the vote to approve the Articles Amendment Proposal; and
ii.
prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 5, 2023, (two business days prior to the vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting), (a) submit a written request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, that the Company redeem their Public Shares for cash and (b) deliver their Public Shares to the transfer agent, physically or electronically through The Depository Trust Company. The Company also requests that any requests for redemption include the identity as to the beneficial owner making such request, including such beneficial owner’s legal name, phone number and address.
Holders of Units must elect to separate the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares. If holders hold their Units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the Units into
 

 
the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants, or if a holder holds Units registered in its, his or her own name, the holder must contact the transfer agent directly and instruct it to do so. Public Shareholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares even if they vote for the Articles Amendment Proposal.
If the Articles Amendment Proposal is not approved and we do not complete the Business Combination or any other initial business combination on or before December 31, 2023 (the applicable time limits outlined in the current Memorandum and Articles), the Company will:
(i)
cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up;
(ii)
as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and
(iii)
as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law.
There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the applicable time limits outlined in the current Memorandum and Articles or, if the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved and implemented, within the applicable time limits outlined in the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles.
Only shareholders of record of the Company as of the close of business on the Record Date, are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof, including, if necessary, pursuant to the Adjournment Proposal. Voting at the Extraordinary General Meeting will take place by poll voting in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles. Accordingly, each Ordinary Share will entitle the holder thereof (as of the Record Date) to one vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. On the Record Date, there were 10,628,218 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, including 5,003,218 Class A Ordinary Shares (that were initially sold as part of the Units in the IPO) and 5,625,000 Class B Ordinary Shares. The Company’s warrants do not have voting rights in connection with the proposals.
The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they agreed to waive their rights to participate in any liquidation distribution from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares and Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the warrants that the Sponsor purchased pursuant to a private placement in connection with the IPO. As a consequence of such waivers, any liquidating distribution that is made from the Trust Account will be only with respect to the Public Shares. There will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete its initial business combination within the applicable time limits outlined in the current Memorandum and Articles.
The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by any third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.10 per Public Share and (ii) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay tax, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. The per-share liquidation price for the Public Shares is anticipated to be approximately $11.03 (based on the amount held in the Trust Account as of November 8, 2023 and
 

 
estimated interest income and taxes post-December 31, 2022). Nevertheless, the Company cannot assure you that the per share distribution from the Trust Account, if the Company liquidates, will not be less than $11.03 due to unforeseen claims of potential creditors.

PROXY STATEMENT
FOR THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF
PEGASUS DIGITAL MOBILITY ACQUISITION CORP.
To Be Held at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on December 7, 2023
This proxy statement and the enclosed form of proxy are furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by our board of directors (the “Board”) for use at the extraordinary general meeting of PEGASUS DIGITAL MOBILITY ACQUISITION CORP., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”), and any adjournments thereof (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”). This proxy statement is dated November 13, 2023 and is first being mailed to our shareholders on or about November 14, 2023. The Extraordinary General Meeting will be held on December 7, 2023, at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, in person at the offices of Appleby located at 9th Floor, 60 Nexus Way, Camana Bay, Grand Cayman, KY1-1104, Cayman Islands and virtually over the internet via live audio webcast at https:// www.cstproxy.com/pegasusdigitalmobility/ext2023 where you may vote and submit your questions during the Extraordinary General Meeting.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This proxy statement contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may relate to the Company’s initial business combination and any other statements relating to future results, strategy and plans of the Company (including statements which may be identified by the use of the words “plans”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “estimated”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, “targets”, “projects”, “contemplates”, “predicts”, “potential”, “continue”, or “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “should”, “might”, “will” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved”).
Forward-looking statements are based on the opinions and estimates of management of the Company, as of the date such statements are made, and they are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:

the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to a delay in or the failure to close our initial business combination, whether with the Target (as defined below) or another company;

the amount of redemptions by our Public Shareholders (as defined below);

the ability to achieve shareholder and regulatory approvals;

industry trends, legislation or regulatory requirements and developments in the global economy, including the public health crisis related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, rising inflation or other events that have had and may in the future cause significant negative effects on the global economy;

disrupted global supply chains and significant volatility and disruption of financial markets;

increased expenses associated with being a public company;

the ability to retain key personnel and our officers and directors allocating their time to other businesses and potentially having conflicts of interest with our business or in approving our initial business combination, as a result of which they would then receive expense reimbursements;

our potential ability to obtain additional financing, if needed, to complete our initial business combination;

risks relating to our prospective Target business;

the ability of our officers and directors to generate a number of potential investment opportunities;

our public securities’ potential liquidity and trading;
 
1

 

the use of proceeds not held in our Trust Account (as defined below) or available to us from interest income on the Trust Account balance; and

our financial performance.
Additional information on these and other factors that may cause actual results and the Company’s performance to differ materially is included in the Company’s periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including but not limited to the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, including those factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” therein, and subsequent reports that we have filed or will file with the SEC. Copies of the Company’s filings with the SEC are available publicly on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or may be obtained by contacting the Company. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. These forward-looking statements are made only as of the date hereof, and the Company undertakes no obligations to update or revise the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

RISK FACTORS
In addition to the risk factors below, you should consider carefully all of the risks described in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 29, 2023, any subsequent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC, the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus included in the Registration Statement on Form F-4 filed with the SEC by Pegasus TopCo B.V. on September 26, 2023, and in any other reports we file with the SEC. Furthermore, if any of the following events occur, our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially adversely affected or we could face liquidation. In that event, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties described in our SEC filings and below are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important factors that adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results or result in our liquidation.
There can be no assurance that the Fourth Extension (as defined below) will be exercised or, if it is, that it will enable the completion of an initial business combination.
Approving the Articles Amendment Proposal (as defined below) involves a number of risks. Even if the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved, the Company can provide no assurances that the Fourth Extension will be exercised by the Board or, if it is, that our initial business combination will be consummated prior to April 30, 2024. Our ability to consummate any business combination is dependent on a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including completion of the SEC review process. If the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved, the Company expects to seek shareholder approval of our business combination with the Target following the SEC review process. As of the date of this proxy statement, the Company cannot estimate when the SEC review process will be completed.
We are required to offer shareholders the opportunity to redeem shares in connection with the Articles Amendment Proposal, and we will be further required to offer shareholders redemption rights again in connection with any shareholder vote to approve the Business Combination. Even if the Articles Amendment Proposal or the Business Combination are approved by our shareholders, it is possible that redemptions will leave us with insufficient cash to consummate the Business Combination on commercially acceptable terms, or at all.
The completion of the Business Combination is subject to the satisfaction or waiver, as applicable, of a number of important conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, including the approval of such business combination by our shareholders, the approval of the listing of the combined entity’s ordinary shares on the New York Stock Exchange, and several other customary closing conditions. If these conditions are not satisfied or if the Business Combination Agreement is otherwise terminated, we may be unable to close the Business Combination within the requisite time period.
Changes to laws or regulations or in how such laws or regulations are interpreted or applied, or a failure to comply with any laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, may adversely affect our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial business combination.
We are subject to the laws and regulations, and interpretations and applications of such laws and regulations, of national, regional, state and local governments and, potentially, non-U.S. jurisdictions. In particular, we are required to comply with certain SEC and potentially other legal and regulatory requirements, and our consummation of an initial business combination may be contingent upon our ability to comply with certain laws, regulations, interpretations and applications and any post-business combination company may be subject to additional laws, regulations, interpretations and applications. Compliance with, and monitoring of, the foregoing may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time, and those changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete an initial business combination. A failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete an initial business combination. The SEC has, in the past year, adopted certain rules and may, in the future adopt other rules, which may have a material effect on our activities and on our ability to consummate an initial business combination, including the SPAC Rule Proposal described below.
 
3

 
The SEC has issued proposed rules to regulate special purpose acquisition companies. Certain of the procedures that we, a potential business combination target, or others may determine to undertake in connection with such proposals may increase our costs and the time needed to complete our initial business combination and may constrain the circumstances under which we could complete a business combination.
On March 30, 2022, the SEC issued proposed rules (the “SPAC Rule Proposal”), which include proposals relating to, among other items, disclosures in business combination transactions between special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) such as us and private operating companies; the condensed financial statement requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies; the use of projections by SPACs in SEC filings in connection with proposed business combination transactions; the potential liability of certain participants in proposed business combination transactions; and the extent to which SPACs could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), including a proposed rule that would provide SPACs a safe harbor from treatment as an investment company if they satisfy certain conditions that limit a SPAC’s duration, asset composition, business purpose and activities.
Taking into account the proposed safe harbor rule, on October 12, 2023, we gave instructions to liquidate the assets held in trust, two money market funds comprised substantially of U.S. Treasury instruments, and reinvest the full proceeds into an interest-bearing direct deposit account with our custodian bank. The transfer was completed on October 16, 2023. The transfer was made ahead of the 24-month anniversary of the Company’s initial public offering. As of October 16, 2023, $54,771,964.33 remained in the Trust Account and were held in an interest-bearing direct deposit account with our custodian bank. As a result, the interest earned from the reinvested assets held in trust may be lower than if we had not made the decision to liquidate the assets and reinvest the proceeds in a direct deposit account. Based on information received from the Company’s custodian bank, the assets held in trust are yielding interest marginally below U.S. Treasury rates as of the end of October 2023.
Certain additional procedures that we, our business combination target, or others may determine to undertake in connection with the SPAC Rule Proposal, or pursuant to the SEC’s views expressed in the SPAC Rule Proposal, may increase the costs and the time required to consummate a business combination, and may constrain the circumstances under which we could complete a business combination.
The need for compliance with the SPAC Rule Proposal may cause us to liquidate the funds in the Trust Account or liquidate the Company at an earlier time than we might otherwise choose. Were we to liquidate, our warrants would expire worthless, and our securityholders would lose the investment opportunity associated with an investment in the combined company, including potential price appreciation of our securities.
Our Sponsor, certain members of our Board and our officers have interests in the proposals that may conflict with those of other shareholders in recommending that shareholders vote in favor of approval of the proposals in this proxy statement.
Our Sponsor, certain members of our Board and our officers have interests in the proposals that may conflict with those of other shareholders in recommending that shareholders vote in favor of approval of the proposals. These interests include, among other things, Class B Ordinary Shares held by the Sponsor and certain of our directors and officers which will be worthless (as the Sponsor and such directors and officers have waived liquidation rights with respect to such shares), as will the Private Placement Warrants (as defined below) held by the Sponsor, if the Articles Amendment Proposal is not approved, and we do not consummate an initial business combination within the applicable time limits outlined in the current Memorandum and Articles.
These interests may influence our directors in making their recommendation that you vote in favor of the approval of the proposals described in this proxy statement. You should take these interests into account in deciding whether to vote in favor of such proposals. You should also read the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Articles Amendment Proposal — Interests of the Sponsor and the Company’s Directors and Officers.”

If we were deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), we may be forced to abandon our efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead be required to liquidate the Company. To avoid that result, on or shortly prior to the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement relating to our IPO, we liquidated the securities held in the trust account and instead hold all funds in the trust account in an interest-bearing direct deposit account. As a result, following such liquidation, we may receive minimal interest on the funds held in the trust account, which would reduce the dollar amount that our public shareholders would receive upon any redemption of their shares or liquidation of the Company.
As described further above, the SPAC Rule Proposal include proposals relating to, among other matters, the circumstances in which SPACs such as us could potentially be subject to the Investment Company Act and the regulations thereunder. The SPAC Rule Proposal would provide a safe harbor for SPACs satisfying certain criteria from the definition of “investment company” under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act, provided that a SPAC satisfies certain criteria, including a limited time period to announce and complete a de-SPAC transaction. Specifically, to comply with the safe harbor, the SPAC Rule Proposal would require a company to file a report on Form 8-K announcing that it has entered into an agreement with a target company for an initial business combination no later than 18 months after the effective date of the registration statement of its initial public offering (an “IPO Registration Statement”). The company would then be required to complete its initial business combination no later than 24 months after the effective date of its IPO Registration Statement.
Given that the SPAC Rule Proposal have not yet been adopted, there is currently uncertainty concerning the applicability of the Investment Company Act to a SPAC, including a company like ours, that may not complete its initial business combination within 24 months after the effective date of its IPO Registration Statement. As a result, it is possible that a claim could be made that we have been operating as an unregistered investment company. If we were deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, our activities would be severely restricted, we would be subject to additional regulatory burdens and expenses and, unless we are able to modify our activities so that we would not be deemed an investment company, we might be forced to abandon our efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead be required to liquidate the Company. If we are required to liquidate the Company, our investors would not be able to realize the benefits of owning stock in a successor operating business, including the potential appreciation in the value of our shares and warrants following such a transaction, and our warrants would expire worthless.
The funds in the Trust Account have, since the initial public offering of the Company (the “IPO”), been held only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. government treasury obligations and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. However, on October 12, 2023, to mitigate the risk of us being deemed to have been operating as an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act) and thus subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, we instructed Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee with respect to the Trust Account, to liquidate the money market funds held in the Trust Account and invest the full proceeds into an interest-bearing direct deposit account with our custodian bank. As a result, following such liquidation, we may receive minimal interest on the funds held in the Trust Account, which would reduce the dollar amount our public shareholders would receive upon any redemption of their shares or liquidation of the Company.
After our business combination, substantially all of our assets may be located in a foreign country and a significant portion of our revenue may be derived from our operations in such country. Accordingly, our results of operations and prospects will be subject, to a significant extent, to the economic, political and legal policies, developments and conditions in the other countries in which we operate.
The economic, political and social conditions, as well as government policies, of the countries in which our operations are located could affect our business. Economic growth could be uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy and such growth may not be sustained in the future. If in the future such countries experience an economic downturn or grow at a slower rate than expected, there may be less demand for spending in certain industries.

We are currently operating in a period of economic uncertainty and capital markets disruption, which has been significantly impacted by geopolitical instability due among other things to the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected by any negative impact on the global economy and capital markets resulting from events outside our control.
Russian military actions and the resulting sanctions, the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain disruptions and rising inflation rates have adversely affected and could continue to adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets, potentially making it more difficult for us to obtain additional funds if needed.
Any of the above-mentioned factors could affect our business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could be substantial.
The Company and the Sponsor are both incorporated in the Cayman Islands and the Company’s ability to complete an initial business combination may be impacted if such initial business combination is subject to U.S. foreign investment or other regulations and review by a governmental entity, such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”).
CFIUS is an interagency committee authorized to review certain transactions involving foreign investment in the United States by foreign persons to determine the effect of such transactions on the national security of the United States. The Company is a Cayman Islands exempted company and the Sponsor is a Cayman Islands limited liability company, meaning both are non-U.S. persons. Due to regulations that limit foreign ownerships in certain U.S. businesses, the pool of potential target companies with which the Company may be able to consummate a business combination may be limited or it may be more difficult or costly to ultimately achieve such a business combination relative to other special purpose acquisition companies that are not subject to such restrictions. For example, if the Company were to be party to a business combination that were to fall within CFIUS’s jurisdiction, the Company may determine that it is required to make a mandatory filing or, where a mandatory filing is not required, that it will submit a voluntary filing to CFIUS, subjecting itself to the applicable statutory review period and potential CFIUS mitigation, or proceed with the initial business combination without notifying CFIUS and risk potential CFIUS intervention, before or after closing the initial business combination. In such instances, CFIUS may decide to impose conditions to mitigate national security concerns with respect to such initial business combination or, in extreme cases, recommend that the U.S. president block the initial business combination or order the Company to divest all or a portion of any U.S. business of the combined company, which may limit the attractiveness of or prevent the Company from pursuing certain initial business combination opportunities that it believes would otherwise be beneficial to the Company and its shareholders.
Assuming the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved and the Board exercises the Fourth Extension, if the Company cannot complete its initial business combination by April 30, 2024 because a governmental review process extends beyond such timeframe or because the initial business combination is ultimately prohibited by CFIUS or another governmental entity, the Company may be required to liquidate. If the Company liquidates, the Company’s warrants will expire as worthless and shareholders will lose the investment opportunity in a target company and the chance of realizing future gains on their investment through any price appreciation of shares in the combined company.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
These Questions and Answers are only summaries of the matters they discuss. They do not contain all of the information that may be important to you. You should read carefully the entire document, including the annexes to this proxy statement.
Why am I receiving this Proxy Statement?
We are a blank check company incorporated on March 30, 2021 as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or assets (which we refer to as our initial business combination). In October 2021, the Company consummated the IPO from which it derived aggregate proceeds of $227,250,000 which were deposited in the Trust Account. Like many blank check companies, the Company’s current second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (“Memorandum and Articles”) provide for the return of the funds held in trust to the holders of Company’s Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share sold in the IPO if there is no qualifying business combination (as defined below) consummated on or before a certain date (in our case, first extended by a Board resolution to April 26, 2023, and then further extended by a Board resolution to July 26, 2023 and subsequently extended by Board resolution to December 31, 2023 in accordance with the procedures outlined in our current Memorandum and Articles).
On May 31, 2023, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as amended by the First Amendment to the Business Combination Agreement dated September 26, 2023, and as may be further amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”) by and among the Company, Schmid, Pegasus TopCo B.V., a Dutch private limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“TopCo”) and Pegasus MergerSub Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of TopCo (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, among other things, TopCo will become the parent entity of both Schmid and the Company and the securityholders of Schmid and the Company will become securityholders of TopCo.
While the Company and the other parties to the Business Combination Agreement are working toward completion of the Business Combination, the Board currently believes that there will not be sufficient time, within the applicable time limits outlined in the current Memorandum and Articles, to complete the Business Combination. The Board believes that the initial business combination opportunity with Schmid is compelling and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Therefore, the Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to amend and restate the Memorandum and Articles, in the form of the third amended and restated memorandum and articles of association set forth in Annex A (the “Third
 
7

 
Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles”), to, among other things, provide the Board with an option to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate the Business Combination for a fourth time to April 30, 2024. If the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved by the requisite vote of our shareholders and the Minimum NTA Condition is satisfied, and the Board elects to exercise the Fourth Extension, the Company would have until April 30, 2024 to consummate a business combination. Prior to the closing of the initial Business Combination, another shareholder meeting will be held in order to seek shareholder approval of such business combination and related proposals. In connection with the shareholder meeting to approve such business combination and related proposals, Public Shareholders will have the right to redeem their Public Shares, subject to any limitations set forth in the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles. In order to minimize redemption levels, the exercise of the Fourth Extension is subject to the Sponsor committing to deposit $0.03 per Public Share then in issue to the Trust Account on the first business day of each month starting on January 2, 2024 until the earliest of (i) the date on which the Company consummates an initial Business Combination or (ii) April 30, 2024. On October 12, 2023, the Company gave instructions to liquidate the assets held in trust, two money market funds comprised substantially of U.S. Treasury instruments, and reinvest the full proceeds into an interest-bearing direct deposit account with the Company’s custodian bank. The transfer was completed on October 16, 2023. As of October 16, 2023, $54,771,964.33 remained in the Trust Account and had been reinvested into the interest-bearing direct deposit account with our custodian bank, which — based on information received from the Company’s custodian bank — is yielding interest marginally below U.S. Treasury rates as of the end of October 2023.
What is being voted on?
You are currently being asked to vote on the following proposals:
1.
Proposal No. 1 — The Articles Amendment Proposal — A proposal, by special resolution, to amend and restate the Company’s current Memorandum and Articles by adopting the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles in the form set forth in Annex A, to (i) remove references to term limits for directors of the Company, (ii) make certain updates to reflect the prior exercises by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) of the extension options set out in the Memorandum and Articles pursuant to which the date by which the Company has to consummate a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination (“business combination”) was extended from April 26, 2023 to July 26, 2023 (the “Second Extension” and such date, the “Second Extension Date”) and subsequently extended from the Second Extension
 
8

 
Date to December 31, 2023 (the “Third Extension” and such date, the “Third Extension Date”), and (iii) insert a fourth extension option to enable the Board to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from the Third Extension Date to April 30, 2024 (subject to the Sponsor committing to deposit $0.03 per Public Share then in issue in the Company’s trust account (the “Trust Account”) on the first business day of each month starting on January 2, 2024 until the earliest of (i) the date on which the Company consummates an initial Business Combination or (ii) April 30, 2024). (the “Fourth Extension” and such date, the “Fourth Extension Date”).
The effectiveness of the Articles Amendment Proposal is conditioned on the Company having net tangible assets of at least US$5,000,001 after giving effect to any redemptions of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share issued in the IPO (the “Class A Ordinary Shares” or “Public Shares” and the holders of such Public Shares, the “Public Shareholders”) which are tendered for redemption in connection with the shareholder vote on the Articles Amendment Proposal (the “Minimum NTA Condition”).
2.
Proposal No. 2 — The Adjournment Proposal — a proposal, by ordinary resolution, to approve the adjournment of the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates or sine die, if necessary or appropriate, either (i) to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with the approval of the Articles Amendment Proposal or (ii) if the Board determines before the Extraordinary General Meeting that it is not necessary or no longer desirable to proceed with the Articles Amendment Proposal. In either such case, the Adjournment Proposal will be the only proposal submitted at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
If the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved by the requisite vote of shareholders and the Minimum NTA Condition is satisfied, the removal of the Withdrawal Amount (as defined below) will reduce the amount held in the Trust Account following the Extraordinary General Meeting. We cannot predict the amount that will remain in the Trust Account if the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved and the amount remaining in the Trust Account may be only a small fraction of the approximately $54,951,684.06 that was in the Trust Account as of November 8, 2023, consisting of the proceeds of the Company’s IPO and the private placement of warrants sold to the Sponsor, plus deposits by the Sponsor in connection with the First,
 
9

 
Second and Third Extensions and interest earned, less taxes and distributions to redeeming shareholders in connection with the extraordinary general meeting that took place on April 19, 2023 and the exercise of the Third Extension. In such event, we may need to obtain additional funds to complete an initial business combination, and there can be no assurance that such funds will be available on terms acceptable or at all.
YOU ARE NOT BEING ASKED TO VOTE ON A BUSINESS COMBINATION AT THIS TIME.
Why is the Company proposing the Articles Amendment Proposal?
If we do not consummate a business combination on or before December 31, 2023 (the applicable time limit provided by our current Memorandum and Articles), we are required by our current Memorandum and Articles to (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of the then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up. In the event of a liquidation, holders of our Founder Shares, including our Sponsor and our independent directors, will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of their ownership of the Founder Shares.
Accordingly, our Memorandum and Articles currently provide for the return of the funds held in the Trust Account to the holders of Public Shares if there is no qualifying business combination(s) consummated on or before December 31, 2023 and if there is no further extension approved in accordance with the current Memorandum and Articles. As we explain below, we may not be able to complete an initial business combination by that date.
Following the exercise of the Third Extension under the current Memorandum and Articles, we have until December 31, 2023 to complete a business combination. Our Board currently believes that there will not be sufficient time to complete a business combination within the applicable time limits outlined in the current Memorandum and Articles. The purpose of the Articles Amendment Proposal
 
10

 
is, therefore, to amend and restate the Memorandum and Articles, in the form of the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles set forth in Annex A, to, among other things, provide the Board with an option to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination for a fourth time to the Fourth Extension Date (April 30, 2024) to provide the Company with more time to complete its previously announced business combination with Schmid.
YOU ARE NOT BEING ASKED TO VOTE ON A PROPOSED BUSINESS COMBINATION AT THIS TIME. IF THE ARTICLES AMENDMENT PROPOSAL IS APPROVED AND YOU DO NOT MAKE AN ELECTION TO HAVE YOUR PUBLIC SHARES REDEEMED, YOU WILL RETAIN THE RIGHT TO VOTE ON ANY PROPOSED INITIAL BUSINESS COMBINATION WHEN AND IF ONE IS SUBMITTED TO SHAREHOLDERS (PROVIDED THAT YOU ARE A SHAREHOLDER ON THE APPLICABLE RECORD DATE) AND THE RIGHT TO REDEEM YOUR PUBLIC SHARES AT A PER- SHARE PRICE, PAYABLE IN CASH, EQUAL TO THE PRO RATA PORTION OF THE TRUST ACCOUNT IN THE EVENT A PROPOSED BUSINESS COMBINATION IS APPROVED AND COMPLETED OR THE COMPANY HAS NOT CONSUMMATED A BUSINESS COMBINATION BY THE APPLICABLE TIME LIMIT PROVIDED BY THE THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES. THERE CAN BE NO GUARANTEE THAT WE WILL EXERCISE THE FOURTH EXTENSION AND, IF IT IS EXERCISED, THAT A BUSINESS COMBINATION WILL BE COMPLETED BEFORE THE FOURTH EXTENSION DATE, OR AT ALL.
Why should I vote “FOR” the Articles Amendment Proposal?
Our Board believes shareholders will benefit from the Company consummating an initial business combination and is proposing the Articles Amendment Proposal to provide the Board with the ability to extend the date by which the Company has to complete such a transaction until the Fourth Extension Date. The Board does not believe there will be sufficient time to complete a business combination within the timeframe provided in the current Memorandum and Articles.
Given our expenditure of time, effort and money to identify potential targets for a potential initial business combination, including the fact that the parties to the Business Combination Agreement are working towards satisfaction of the conditions to the completion of the Business Combination, our Board believes current circumstances warrant providing those who believe the Company might execute a potential business combination that is an attractive investment opportunity with an opportunity to consider such a transaction, inasmuch as we are also affording shareholders who wish to redeem their Public Shares the opportunity to
 
11

 
do so. If you do not elect to redeem your Public Shares, you will retain the right to vote on any proposed initial business combination if and when one is submitted to shareholders in the future (assuming that you are a shareholder on the applicable record date) and the right to redeem your Public Shares in connection with such initial business combination. Whether a holder of Public Shares votes in favor of or against the Articles Amendment Proposal, if such proposal is approved and implemented, the holder may, but is not required to, redeem all or a portion of its Public Shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares by following the procedures set out in this Proxy Statement. The effectiveness of the Articles Amendment Proposal is conditioned on the Company having net tangible assets of at least US$5,000,001 after giving effect to any redemptions of Public Shares which are tendered for redemption in connection with the shareholder vote on the Articles Amendment Proposal.
The Board unanimously recommends that you vote in favor of the Articles Amendment Proposal.
Why should I vote “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal?
If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved by our shareholders, our Board may not be able to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Articles Amendment Proposal. The Company also reserves the right to move to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting sine die in the event that the Board determines before the Extraordinary General Meeting that is not necessary or no longer desirable to proceed with the Articles Amendment Proposal. In either case, at the Extraordinary General Meeting the Company will ask its shareholders to vote only upon the Adjournment Proposal and not on the Articles Amendment Proposal.
If presented, our Board unanimously recommends that you vote in favor of the Adjournment Proposal.
How do the Company insiders intend to vote their shares?
Our Sponsor and the Company’s directors and officers own an aggregate of 4,250,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value of $0.0001 per share (“Founder Shares”) or “Class B Ordinary Shares” and, together with the Class A Ordinary Shares, the “Ordinary Shares”), representing approximately 40 per cent of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. We have been informed by our Sponsor and the Company’s directors and officers that they intend to vote any Ordinary Shares over which they have voting control, in favor of the Articles Amendment Proposal and, if presented, the Adjournment Proposal.
In addition, our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates may purchase Public Shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting. However, they have no
 
12

 
current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. None of the funds in the Trust Account will be used to purchase Public Shares in such transactions. Any such purchases that are completed after the record date for the Extraordinary General Meeting may include an agreement with a selling shareholder that such shareholder, for so long as it remains the record holder of the shares in question, will vote in favor of the Articles Amendment Proposal and/or will not exercise its redemption rights with respect to the shares so purchased. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood that the resolutions to be put to the Extraordinary General Meeting are approved by the requisite number of votes. In the event that such purchases do occur, the purchasers may seek to purchase shares from shareholders who would otherwise have voted against the Articles Amendment Proposal and elected to redeem their shares for a portion of the Trust Account. Any such privately negotiated purchases may be affected at purchase prices that are below or in excess of the per-share pro rata portion of the Trust Account. Any Public Shares held by or subsequently purchased by our affiliates may be voted in favor of the Articles Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.
What vote is required to approve the Articles Amendment Proposal?
Approval of the Articles Amendment Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares entitled to vote and who, being present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof, vote on such matter.
What vote is required to approve the Adjournment Proposal?
Approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares entitled to vote and who, being present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof, vote on such matter.
What is a quorum requirement?
A quorum of our shareholders is necessary to hold a valid Extraordinary General Meeting. A quorum will be present at the Extraordinary General Meeting if one or more shareholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting are represented in person or by proxy or if a corporation or other non-natural person by its duly authorized representative or proxy. As of the record date for the Extraordinary General Meeting, the holders of at least Ordinary Shares would be required to achieve a quorum.
Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other nominee) or if you attend and
 
13

 
vote in person (including online) at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement, but will not count as a vote cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting. If a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the Extraordinary General Meeting to commence or if during the Extraordinary General Meeting a quorum ceases to be present, the Extraordinary General Meeting will stand adjourned to such other day, time and/or place as the Board may determine, and if at the adjourned meeting a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting to commence, the shareholders present will constitute a quorum.
Who can vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting?
Only holders of record of our Ordinary Shares at the close of business on November 6, 2023, being the record date, are entitled to have their vote counted at the Extraordinary General Meeting and any adjournment thereof. On this record date, 10,628,218 Ordinary Shares were outstanding and entitled to vote.
What is the difference between a shareholder of record and a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name”?
Shareholder of Record.   If your shares are registered directly in your name with the Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, you are considered the shareholder of record with respect to those shares, and the proxy materials were sent directly to you by the Company. As a shareholder of record, you may vote in person at the Extraordinary General Meeting or vote by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting in person (including virtually online), we urge you to fill out and return the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided to ensure your vote is counted. Your proxy card must be received by the Proxy Agent by no later than 48 hours before the time appointed for the Extraordinary General Meeting to commence.
Beneficial Owner of Shares Held in Street Name.    If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer, or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” and the proxy materials were forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered the shareholder of record for purposes of voting at the Extraordinary General Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to instruct that organization on how to vote the shares held in your account. Those instructions are contained in a “vote instruction form.”
What is the effect of giving a proxy?
Proxies are solicited by and on behalf of the Board. The Proxy Agent (as defined below) has been appointed by the Board to solicit proxies on behalf of the Board. When proxies are properly dated, executed and returned, the shares represented by such proxies will be voted at the Extraordinary General Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the shareholder. If no specific instructions are given, however, the shares will be voted in accordance with the Board recommendations “FOR” the Articles
 
14

 
Amendment Proposal and, if presented, “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal. If any matters not described in this proxy statement are properly presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting, the proxy holders will use their own judgment to determine how to vote the shares. If the Extraordinary General Meeting is adjourned, the proxy holders can vote the shares on the adjourned Extraordinary General Meeting date as well, unless you have properly revoked your proxy instructions, as described elsewhere herein.
How do I attend the Extraordinary General Meeting?
If you are a shareholder of record at the close of business on the record date for the Extraordinary General Meeting, you will receive a proxy card. The form contains instructions on how to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting via live audio webcast including the URL address, along with your 12-digit control number. You will need your control number for access. If you do not have your control number, contact the Transfer Agent at +1 917-262-2373, or email proxy@continentalstock.com.
You can pre-register to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting online webcast starting on November 30, 2023 at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time (five business days prior to the meeting date) by entering the URL address into your browser https:// www.cstproxy.com/pegasusdigitalmobility/ext2023 and entering your control number, name and email address. Once you pre-register you can vote or enter questions in the chat box during the Extraordinary General Meeting. At the start of the Extraordinary General Meeting, you will need to log in again using your control number and will also be prompted to enter your control number if you vote during the Extraordinary General Meeting.
Shareholders of record may also attend the Extraordinary General Meeting in person at the offices of Appleby. You will need to present valid ID and proof of ownership.
If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” you will need to contact Continental to receive a control number. If you plan to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting either online via the webcast or in person at the offices of Appleby, you will need to have a legal proxy from your bank, broker or other nominee or if you would like to join and not vote, Continental will issue you a guest control number with proof of ownership.

A separate conference line to allow participants to communicate with each other during the Extraordinary General Meeting will also be made available.
What if I want to vote against or don’t want to vote for any of the proposals?
If you do not want a proposal to be approved, you must vote against such proposal. A shareholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person (including online) at the Extraordinary General Meeting will not be counted towards the number of Ordinary Shares present required to validly establish a quorum, and if a valid quorum is otherwise established, such failure to vote will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on the Articles Amendment Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established but will not count as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on the Articles Amendment Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal.
If the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved, what happens next?
If the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved by the requisite number of votes and the Minimum NTA Condition is satisfied, the Adjournment Proposal will not be presented for a vote.
Upon approval of the Articles Amendment Proposal by the requisite number of votes and subject to the Company having net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 after taking into account any redemption of Public Shares, the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles will become effective. The Board will have the option to extend the date by which we have to consummate a business combination to the Fourth Extension Date (April 30, 2024). We will remain a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and our Units, Public Shares and Public Warrants will remain publicly traded.
If the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved by the requisite number of votes and the Minimum NTA Condition is satisfied, and the Board elects to exercise the Fourth Extension, we anticipate we will continue our efforts to complete an initial business combination until the Fourth Extension Date.
If the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved, the removal of the Withdrawal Amount from the Trust Account will reduce the amount remaining in the Trust Account and increase the percentage interest of our Ordinary Shares held by our Sponsor and our independent directors as a result of their ownership of the Founder Shares.
If the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved and the Board exercises the Fourth Extension but we do not complete a business combination by April 30, 2024, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up;
 
16

 
(ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law. We cannot assure you that the per share distribution from the Trust Account, if we liquidate, will not be less than $10.10 due to unforeseen claims of creditors.
What happens to the Company’s outstanding warrants if the Articles Amendment Proposal is not approved?
If the Articles Amendment Proposal is not approved and we have not consummated a business combination within the applicable time limits outlined in the current Memorandum and Articles (currently until December 31, 2023), we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law.
There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up. In the event of a liquidation, holders of our Founder Shares, including our Sponsor and our independent directors, will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of their ownership of the Founder Shares.
What happens to the Company’s outstanding Public Warrants if the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved?
If the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved and implemented, all Public Warrants will remain outstanding and will become exercisable for one Class A Ordinary Share 30 days after the completion of an initial business combination at an initial exercise price of $11.50 per warrant for a period of five years, provided we have an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) covering the Class A Ordinary Shares
 
17

 
issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or we permit holders to exercise warrants on a cashless basis).
Do I need to request that my shares be redeemed whether I vote for or against the Articles Amendment Proposal?
Yes. Whether you vote for or against the Articles Amendment Proposal or if you vote at all, and regardless of whether you are a holder of Public Shares on the record date for the Extraordinary General Meeting, you may elect to redeem your Public Shares. However, you will need to submit a redemption request for your Public Shares. See “How do I redeem my Public Shares?” for more information about the procedures to follow to redeem your Public Shares.
If I do not exercise my redemption rights now, would I still be able to exercise my redemption rights in connection with a proposed business combination?
Unless you elect to redeem all of your Public Shares at this time, you will be able to exercise redemption rights in respect of any future initial business combination, subject to any limitations set forth in the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles (assuming the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved).
How do I change my vote?
If you are a shareholder of record at the close of business on the record date for the Extraordinary General Meeting, you may change your vote after you have mailed a signed proxy by sending a later-dated, signed proxy card to our Proxy Agent, Morrow Sodali LLC, at 333 Ludlow Street, 5th Floor, South Tower, Stamford, CT 06902 so that it is received no later than 48 hours before the time appointed for the Extraordinary General Meeting to commence or by attending the Extraordinary General Meeting in person (including online) and voting. You also may revoke your proxy by sending a notice of revocation to the same address, which must be received by our Proxy Agent before the time appointed for the Extraordinary General Meeting to commence.
Please note, however, that if on the record date for the Extraordinary General Meeting your shares were held, not in your name, but rather in an account at a brokerage firm, custodian bank, or other nominee then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by that organization. If your shares are held in street name, you must contact your broker, bank or other nominee to change your voting instructions or, if you wish to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting in person (including online) and vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, you must obtain a legal proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee holding your shares, confirming your beneficial ownership of the shares and giving you the right to vote your shares and e-mail a copy (a legible photograph is sufficient) of your proxy to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the transfer agent, at proxy@continentalstock.com no later than 72 hours prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting. Beneficial owners who e-mail a valid legal proxy will be issued a 12-digit meeting control number that will allow them to register to attend and participate in the Extraordinary General Meeting.

How are votes counted?
Voting on all resolutions at the Extraordinary General Meeting will be conducted by way of a poll rather than on a show of hands. On a poll, votes are counted according to the number of shares registered in each shareholder’s name which are voted, with each Ordinary Share carrying one vote.
Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the Extraordinary General Meeting, who will separately count “FOR” and “AGAINST” votes, abstentions and broker non-votes. The Articles Amendment Proposal must be approved as a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares entitled to vote and who, being present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof, vote on such matter. The Adjournment Proposal requires approval by an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares entitled to vote and who, being present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof, vote on such matters.
Accordingly, a shareholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Extraordinary General Meeting means that such shareholder’s Ordinary Shares will not count towards the quorum requirement for the Extraordinary General Meeting and will not be voted. An abstention or broker non-vote will be counted towards the quorum requirement but will not count as a vote cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
If my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker automatically vote them for me?
No. Under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares with respect to non-discretionary matters unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank, or nominee. We believe all the proposals presented to the shareholders will be considered non-discretionary and therefore your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares without your instruction. Your bank, broker, or other nominee can vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should instruct your broker to vote your shares in accordance with directions you provide or, if you wish to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting in person (including online) and vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, you must obtain a legal proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee holding your shares, confirming your beneficial ownership of the shares and giving you the right to vote your shares and e-mail a copy (a legible photograph is sufficient) of your proxy to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the transfer agent, at proxy@continentalstock.com no later than 72 hours prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting. Beneficial owners who e-mail a valid legal proxy will be issued a 12-digit meeting control number that will allow them to

register to attend and participate in the Extraordinary General Meeting.
What interests do the Company’s Sponsor, directors and officers have in the approval of the proposals?
Our Sponsor, directors and officers have interests in the proposals that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholder. These interests include ownership, including indirect ownership, of Founder Shares and warrants that may become exercisable in the future and the possibility of future compensatory arrangements. See the section entitled “The Articles Amendment Proposal — Interests of our Sponsor, Directors and Officers.”
Do I have appraisal rights if I object to the Articles Amendment Proposal?
No. Our shareholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Articles Amendment Proposal under Cayman Islands law.
What do I need to do now?
We urge you to read carefully and consider the information contained in this Proxy Statement, including Annexes A and B, and to consider how the proposals will affect you as a shareholder. You should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this Proxy Statement and on the enclosed proxy card or, if you hold your shares in “street name” through a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, on the voting instruction form provided by the broker, bank or nominee.
How do I vote?
Shareholder of Record: If you are a shareholder of record of Ordinary Shares on the close of business on the record date, there are three ways to vote:

Online by virtually attending the Extraordinary General Meeting:   You may vote online by virtually attending the Extraordinary General Meeting and using the 12-digit control number found on your proxy card or notice of the Extraordinary General Meeting. Please see the question “How do I attend the Extraordinary General Meeting?” above for further information on how to virtually attend the Extraordinary General Meeting.

In person at the Extraordinary General Meeting:   You may attend the Extraordinary General Meeting and vote in person at the offices of Appleby. Shareholders will be provided with a ballot upon entering the meeting. You will need to present valid ID and proof of ownership. Please see the question “How do I attend the Extraordinary General Meeting?” above for further information.

By proxy:   You can vote by proxy by having one or more individuals who will be at the Extraordinary General Meeting vote your shares for you. These individuals are called “proxies” and using them to cast your ballot at the Extraordinary General Meeting is called voting “by proxy.” If you wish to vote by proxy you must complete, sign and date the enclosed form, called a “proxy card,” and mail it in the envelope provided in accordance with the instructions on the enclosed proxy card, or authorize the individuals named on your proxy card to vote your shares by using the Internet as described in the instructions included with your proxy card. If you receive more than
 
20

 
one proxy card, it is an indication that your shares are held in multiple accounts. Please sign, date and return all proxy cards to ensure that all of your shares are voted. Votes submitted by mail must be received by 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time, on December 5, 2023, being 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the Extraordinary General Meeting (or, in the case of an adjournment, no later than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the adjourned meeting). If you sign, date and return your proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your proxy will be voted FOR each of the Articles Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, if presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
Whether or not you plan to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may submit your proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage paid envelope.
If your Ordinary Shares are held in “street name” by a broker, bank or other nominee, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote the shares in your account. Your broker, bank or other nominee may have an earlier deadline by which you must provide instructions to it as to how to vote your shares, so you should read carefully the materials provided to you by your broker, bank or other nominee or intermediary. You are also invited to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting. However, since you are not the shareholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at the Extraordinary General Meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee. Please see the questions “How do I attend the Extraordinary General Meeting?” and “If my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker automatically vote them for me” above for further information on the procedure to be followed by beneficial owners of shares held in “street name”.
How do I redeem my Public Shares?
Each of our Public Shareholders may submit an election that, if the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved and implemented, such Public Shareholder elects to redeem all or a portion of its, his or her Public Shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, provided that the Company shall not redeem Public Shares in an amount that would cause the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than US$5,000,001 following such redemption. If you exercise your redemption rights, you will be exchanging your Public Shares for cash and will no longer own the shares. However, the effectiveness of the Articles Amendment Proposal is conditioned on the Company having net tangible assets of at least US$5,000,001 after giving effect to any
 
21

 
redemptions of Public Shares which are tendered for redemption in connection with the shareholder vote on the Articles Amendment Proposal.
In order to tender your Public Shares for redemption in connection with the Articles Amendment Proposal, you must:
i.
(a) hold Public Shares or (b) hold Public Shares as part of Units and elect to separate such Units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares; and
ii.
prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 5, 2023, (two business days prior to the vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting), (a) submit a written request to Continental, the Company’s transfer agent, that the Company redeem your Public Shares for cash and (b) deliver your Public Shares to Continental, the Company’s transfer agent, physically or electronically through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). The Company also requests that any requests for redemption include the identity as to the beneficial owner making such request, including such beneficial owner’s legal name, phone number, and address. Continental can be contacted at the number or email address listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below.
Holders of Units must elect to separate the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares. If holders hold their Units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the Units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants, or if a holder holds Units registered in its, his or her own name, the holder must contact the transfer agent directly and instruct it to do so.
Through DTC’s DWAC (Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian) system, this electronic delivery process can be accomplished by the shareholder, whether or not it is a record holder or its shares are held in “street name,” by contacting the transfer agent or its broker and requesting delivery of its shares through the DWAC system. Delivering shares physically may take significantly longer. In order to obtain a physical share certificate, a shareholder’s broker and/or clearing broker, DTC, and the Company’s transfer agent will need to act together to facilitate this request. It is the Company’s understanding that shareholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. The Company does not have any control over this process or over the brokers or The Depository Trust Company, and it may take longer than two weeks to obtain a physical share certificate. Such shareholders will have less time to make their investment decision than those shareholders that deliver their shares through the DWAC
 
22

 
system. Shareholders who request physical share certificates and wish to redeem may be unable to meet the deadline for tendering their shares before exercising their redemption rights and thus will be unable to redeem their shares.
There is a nominal cost associated with the above- referenced tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through The Depository Trust Company’s DWAC system. The transfer agent will typically charge a tendering broker a fee and it is in the broker’s discretion whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming shareholder. However, this fee would be incurred regardless of whether or not shareholders seeking to exercise redemption rights are required to tender their shares, as the need to deliver shares is a requirement to exercising redemption rights, regardless of the timing of when such delivery must be effectuated.
Public Shareholders may elect to redeem Public Shares regardless of if or how they vote in respect of the Articles Amendment Proposal, and regardless of whether they hold Public Shares on the record date for the Extraordinary General Meeting. If the Articles Amendment Proposal is not approved, or if the Articles Amendment Proposal is not implemented because the condition that the Company has net tangible assets of at least US$5,000,001 after giving effect to any redemptions of Public Shares which are tendered for redemption is not satisfied, the Public Shares will be returned to the respective holder, broker or bank.
Any demand for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests and thereafter, with the Company’s consent, until a vote is taken with respect to the Articles Amendment Proposal, if any. If you delivered your shares for redemption to the transfer agent and decide within the required timeframe not to exercise your redemption rights, you may request that Continental return the shares (physically or electronically). Such requests may be made by contacting Continental at the at the number or email address listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below.
If you exercise your redemption rights, your Public Shares will cease to be outstanding and will only represent the right to receive a pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account. You will have no right to participate in, or have any interest in, the future growth of the Company, if any. You will be entitled to receive cash for your Public Shares only if you properly and timely demand redemption.
If the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved and implemented, you will also be able to redeem your Public Shares (i) in connection with any proposed initial business combination or (ii) if we have not consummated a business combination within the applicable time limit provided by the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles.
 
23

 
What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?
You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this Proxy Statement and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards, if your shares are registered in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast a vote with respect to all of your shares.
Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?
We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. We have engaged Morrow Sodali LLC (“Proxy Agent”) to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Extraordinary General Meeting. We have agreed to pay the Proxy Agent its customary fee and out-of-pocket expenses. We will also reimburse the Proxy Agent for reasonable out-of- pocket expenses and will indemnify the Proxy Agent and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses. In addition to these mailed proxy materials, our directors and officers may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other means of communication. These parties will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.

THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
Date, Time, Place and Purpose of the Extraordinary General Meeting
The Extraordinary General Meeting will be held on December 7, 2023 at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, in person at the offices of Appleby located at 9th Floor, 60 Nexus Way, Camana Bay, Grand Cayman, KY1-1104, Cayman Islands and virtually over the Internet via live audio webcast at https://www.cstproxy.com/pegasusdigitalmobility/ext2023, or at such other time, on such other date and at such other place to which the meeting may be adjourned. For the purposes of the Company’s Memorandum and Articles, the physical place of the meeting will be at the offices of Appleby located at 9th Floor, 60 Nexus Way, Camana Bay.
The virtual meeting format allows attendance from any location in the world. You will be able to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting virtually online, vote and submit your questions during the Extraordinary General Meeting by visiting https:// www.cstproxy.com/pegasusdigitalmobility/ext2023 and entering the 12-digit control number found on your proxy card or notice of the Extraordinary General Meeting.
At the Extraordinary General Meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote on the following proposals:
1.
Proposal No. 1 — The Articles Amendment Proposal — A proposal, by special resolution, to amend and restate the Company’s current second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Memorandum and Articles”) by adopting the third amended and restated memorandum and articles of association in the form set forth in Annex A (the “Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles”), to (i) remove references to term limits for directors of the Company, (ii) make certain updates to reflect the prior exercises by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) of the extension options set out in the Memorandum and Articles, pursuant to which the date by which the Company has to consummate a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination (“business combination”) was extended from April 26, 2023 to July 26, 2023 (the “Second Extension” and such date, the “Second Extension Date”) and subsequently extended from the Second Extension Date to December 31, 2023 (the “Third Extension” and such date, the “Third Extension Date”), and (iii) insert a fourth extension option to enable the Board to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from the Third Extension Date to April 30, 2024 (subject to the Sponsor committing to deposit $0.03 per Public Share then in issue in the Company’s trust account (the “Trust Account”) on the first business day of each month starting on January 2, 2024 until the earliest of (i) the date on which the Company consummates an initial Business Combination or (ii) April 30, 2024). (the “Fourth Extension” and such date, the “Fourth Extension Date”). The effectiveness of the Articles Amendment Proposal is conditioned on the Company having net tangible assets of at least US$5,000,001 after giving effect to any redemptions of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share issued in the IPO (the “Class A Ordinary Shares” or “Public Shares” and the holders of such Public Shares, the “Public Shareholders”) which are tendered for redemption in connection with the shareholder vote on the Articles Amendment Proposal; and
2.
Proposal No. 2 — The Adjournment Proposal — A proposal, by ordinary resolution, to approve the adjournment of the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates or sine die, if necessary or appropriate, either (i) to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Articles Amendment Proposal or (ii) if the Board determines before the Extraordinary General Meeting that it is not necessary or no longer desirable to proceed with the Articles Amendment Proposal (the “Adjournment Proposal”). In either such case, the Adjournment Proposal will be the only proposal presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
If the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved at the Extraordinary General Meeting, the Adjournment Proposal will not be presented.
The purpose of the Articles Amendment Proposal is to amend and restate the Memorandum and Articles, in the form of the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles set forth in Annex A,
 
25

 
to, among other things, provide the Board with an option to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination for a fourth time to the Fourth Extension Date (April 30, 2024) to provide the Company with more time to complete its previously announced business combination with Gebr. SCHMID GmbH, a German limited liability company (“Schmid”) (the “Business Combination”). On May 31, 2023, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as amended by the First Amendment to the Business Combination Agreement dated September 26, 2023, and as may be further amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”) by and among the Company, Schmid, Pegasus TopCo B.V., a Dutch private limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“TopCo”) and Pegasus MergerSub Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of TopCo (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, among other things, TopCo will become the parent entity of both Schmid and the Company and the securityholders of Schmid and the Company will become securityholders of TopCo. While the Company and the other parties to the Business Combination Agreement are working toward completion of the Business Combination, the Board currently believes that there will not be sufficient time, within the applicable time limits outlined in the current Memorandum and Articles, to complete the Business Combination. The Board believes that the initial business combination opportunity with Schmid is compelling and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Therefore, the Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to amend and restate the Memorandum and Articles, in the form of the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles set forth in Annex A of the accompanying proxy statement, to, among other things, provide the Board with an option to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate the Business Combination for a fourth time from December 31, 2023 to April 30, 2024. If the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved and the Board elects to exercise the Fourth Extension, the Company would have until the Fourth Extension Date (April 30, 2024) to consummate a business combination. Prior to the closing of the Business Combination, another shareholder meeting will be held in order to seek shareholder approval of such business combination and related proposals. In connection with the shareholder meeting to approve any the Business Combination and related proposals, Public Shareholders will have the right to redeem their Public Shares in accordance with the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles, subject to any limitations set forth therein. In order to minimize redemption levels, the exercise of the Fourth Extension is subject to the Sponsor committing to deposit $0.03 per Public Share then in issue to the Trust Account on the first business day of each month starting on January 2, 2024 until the earliest of (i) the date on which the Company consummates an initial Business Combination or (ii) April 30, 2024. On October 12, 2023, the Company gave instructions to liquidate the assets held in trust, two money market funds comprised substantially of U.S. Treasury instruments, and reinvest the full proceeds into an interest-bearing direct deposit account with the Company’s custodian bank. The transfer was completed on October 16, 2023. As of October 16, 2023, $54,771,964.33 remained in the Trust Account and had been reinvested into the interest-bearing direct deposit account with our custodian bank, which — based on information received from the Company’s custodian bank — is yielding interest marginally below U.S. Treasury rates as of the end of October 2023.
The purpose of the Adjournment Proposal, if presented, is to allow the Company to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates if we determine that additional time is necessary to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes to approve the Articles Amendment Proposal or if we determine that additional time is necessary to effectuate the Articles Amendment Proposal. The Company also reserves the right to move to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting sine die in the event that the Board determines before the Extraordinary General Meeting that is not necessary or no longer desirable to proceed with the Articles Amendment Proposal. In either case, at the Extraordinary General Meeting the Company will ask its shareholders to vote only upon the Adjournment Proposal and not on the Articles Amendment Proposal.
Voting Power; Record Date
Only shareholders of record of the Company as of the close of business on November 6, 2023, being the record date, are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof. Voting at the general meeting will take place by poll voting in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles. Accordingly, each Ordinary Share will entitle the holder thereof (as of the record date) to one vote per share at the Extraordinary General Meeting. If your shares are held in “street name”
 
26

 
in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted.
On the record date, there were 10,628,218 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, including 5,003,218 Class A Ordinary Shares and 5,625,000 Class B Ordinary Shares. The Company’s warrants do not have voting rights in connection with the proposals.
Quorum and Vote of Shareholders
A quorum is the minimum number of shareholders required to be present at the Extraordinary General Meeting for the Extraordinary General Meeting to be properly held under our Memorandum and Articles. A quorum will be present at the Extraordinary General Meeting if one or more shareholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting are represented in person or by proxy or if a corporation or other non-natural person by its duly authorized representative or proxy. As of the record date for the Extraordinary General Meeting, the holders of at least 5,314,110 Ordinary Shares would be required to achieve a quorum.
Proxies that are marked “abstain” and proxies relating to “street name” shares that are returned to us but marked by brokers as “not voted” ​(so-called “broker non-votes”) will be treated as shares present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum on all matters. If a shareholder does not give the broker voting instructions, under applicable self-regulatory organization rules, its broker may not vote its shares on “non-discretionary” matters. We believe each of the proposals constitutes a “non-discretionary” matter.
Votes Required
The approval of the Articles Amendment Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares entitled to vote and who, being present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof, vote on such matter.
Approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares entitled to vote and who, being present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof, vote on such matter.
If you do not want a proposal to be approved, you must vote against such proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established, will not count as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of the votes on the proposals.
Voting
Voting at the Extraordinary General Meeting will take place by poll voting in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles. Accordingly, each Ordinary Share will entitle the holder thereof (as of the close of business on the record date) to one vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
If your shares are owned directly in your name with our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the “shareholder of record.” If you are a shareholder of record on the record date, you have the right to attend and vote in person (including online) at the Extraordinary General Meeting. If your shares are held in a share brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee or intermediary, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and are considered a “beneficial owner.”
If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or nominee, you should contact your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the broker, bank or nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting and vote in person (including online), you must obtain a valid proxy from your broker, bank or nominee.
 
27

 
Proxies that are marked “abstain” and proxies relating to “street name” shares that are returned to us but marked by brokers as “not voted” ​(so-called “broker non-votes”) will be treated as shares present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum on all matters. If a shareholder does not give the broker voting instructions, under applicable self-regulatory organization rules, its broker may not vote its shares on “non-discretionary” matters. We believe each of the proposals constitutes a “non-discretionary” matter.
Shareholders of Record
If you are a shareholder of record of Ordinary Shares on the close of business on the record date, there are three ways to vote:

Online by virtually attending the Extraordinary General Meeting:   You may vote online by virtually attending the Extraordinary General Meeting and using the 12-digit control number found on your proxy card or notice of the Extraordinary General Meeting. You can pre-register to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting online webcast starting on November 30, 2023 at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time (five business days prior to the meeting date) by entering the URL address into your browser https:// www.cstproxy.com/pegasusdigitalmobility/ext2023 and entering your control number, name and email address. Once you pre-register you can vote or enter questions in the chat box during the Extraordinary General Meeting. At the start of the Extraordinary General Meeting, you will need to log in again using your control number and will also be prompted to enter your control number if you vote during the Extraordinary General Meeting. If you do not have your control number, contact the Transfer Agent at +1 (917) 262-2373, or email proxy@continentalstock.com.

In person at the Extraordinary General Meeting:   You may attend the Extraordinary General Meeting and vote in person at the offices of Appleby. Shareholders will be provided with a ballot upon entering the meeting. You will need to present valid ID and proof of ownership.

By proxy:   You can vote by proxy by having one or more individuals who will be at the Extraordinary General Meeting vote your shares for you. These individuals are called “proxies” and using them to cast your ballot at the Extraordinary General Meeting is called voting “by proxy.” If you wish to vote by proxy you must complete, sign and date the enclosed form, called a “proxy card,” and mail it in the envelope provided in accordance with the instructions on the enclosed proxy card, or authorize the individuals named on your proxy card to vote your shares by using the Internet as described in the instructions included with your proxy card. If you receive more than one proxy card, it is an indication that your shares are held in multiple accounts. Please sign, date and return all proxy cards to ensure that all of your shares are voted. Proxies submitted by mail must be received by 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on December 5, 2023, being 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the Extraordinary General Meeting (or, in the case of an adjournment, no later than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the adjourned meeting). If you sign, date and return your proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your proxy will be voted FOR each of the Articles Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, if presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting. You may still attend the Extraordinary General Meeting and vote even if you have already voted by proxy, with such vote superseding your proxy vote.
Whether or not you plan to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may submit your proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage paid envelope.
Beneficial Owners
If your Ordinary Shares are held in “street name” in an account through a broker, bank or other nominee or intermediary, you must instruct the broker, bank or other nominee how to vote your shares by following the instructions that the broker, bank or other nominee provides you along with this proxy statement. Your broker, bank or other nominee may have an earlier deadline by which you must provide instructions to it as to how to vote your shares, so you should read carefully the materials provided to you by your broker, bank or other nominee or intermediary.
If you wish to attend and vote your shares at the Extraordinary General Meeting (including online), you must first obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee that holds your shares and
 
28

 
e-mail a copy (a legible photograph is sufficient) of your legal proxy to Continental at proxy@continentalshare.com. Beneficial owners who e-mail a valid legal proxy will be issued a 12-digit meeting control number that will allow them to register to attend and participate in the Extraordinary General Meeting. Beneficial owners who wish to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting should contact Continental no later than 72 hours prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting to obtain this information. Beneficial owners should contact their bank, broker or nominee for instructions regarding obtaining a legal proxy.
If you do not provide voting instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee or intermediary and you do not obtain a legal proxy in accordance with the procedure described above and vote your shares at the Extraordinary General Meeting, your shares will not be voted on any proposal on which your bank, broker or other nominee does not have discretionary authority to vote. In these cases, the bank, broker or other nominee or intermediary will not be able to vote your shares on those matters for which specific authorization is required. Brokers do not have discretionary authority to vote on any of the proposals.
Proxies
Our Board is asking for your proxy. Giving our Board your proxy means you authorize the one or more individuals named on the proxy card who will be at the Extraordinary General Meeting to vote your shares for you at the Extraordinary General Meeting in the manner you direct. You may vote for, against or withhold your vote for each proposal or you may abstain from voting. All valid proxies received by the specified deadline prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting will be voted. All shares represented by a valid proxy will be voted, and where a shareholder specifies by means of the proxy a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the shares will be voted in accordance with the specification so made. If no choice is indicated on the proxy, the shares will be voted “FOR” the Articles Amendment Proposal and, if presented, the Adjournment Proposal and as the proxyholders may determine in their discretion with respect to any other matters that may properly come before the Extraordinary General Meeting.
Shareholders who have questions or need assistance in completing or submitting their proxy cards should contact our Proxy Agent, Morrow Sodali LLC, at +1 (800) 662-5200 or by sending an email to PGSS.info@investor.morrowsodali.com. Banks and brokerages may call collect at +1 (203) 658-9400.
Shareholders who hold their shares in “street name,” meaning the name of a broker, bank or other nominee who is the record holder, must either direct the record holder of their shares to vote their shares or obtain a legal proxy from the record holder to vote their shares at the Extraordinary General Meeting and follow the instructions detailed above on how to vote their shares at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
Revocability of Proxies
If you are a shareholder of record at the close of business on the record date for the Extraordinary General Meeting, you may change your vote after you have mailed a signed proxy by sending a later-dated, signed proxy card to our Proxy Agent at 333 Ludlow Street, 5th Floor, South Tower, Stamford, CT 06902, so that it is received no later than 48 hours before the time appointed for the Extraordinary General Meeting to commence or by attending the Extraordinary General Meeting in person (including online) and voting. You also may revoke your proxy by sending a notice of revocation to the same address, which must be received by our Proxy Agent before the time appointed for the Extraordinary General Meeting to commence.
Simply attending the Extraordinary General Meeting will not constitute a revocation of your proxy. If your shares are held in the name of a broker, bank or other nominee who is the record holder, you must follow the instructions of your broker, bank or other nominee to revoke a previously given voting instruction.
Attendance at the Extraordinary General Meeting
Only registered holders of Ordinary Shares at the close of business on the record date, their proxy holders and guests we may invite may attend the Extraordinary General Meeting.

PROPOSAL NO. 1 — THE ARTICLES AMENDMENT PROPOSAL
Background
The Company is a blank check company whose business purpose is to effect a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or assets (“business combination”). The Company was incorporated in Cayman Islands on March 30, 2021.
In October, 2021, the Company consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 20,000,000 units (“Units”) comprised of 20,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 (the “Public Shares”) and 10,000,000 redeemable warrants (the “Public Warrants”) and the concurrent sale of 9,000,000 private placement warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to Pegasus Digital Mobility Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”). On November 4, 2021, the Company’s underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option, and purchased an additional 2,500,000 Units comprised of 2,500,000 Public Shares and 1,250,000 Public Warrants and on the same date the Company consummated the concurrent sale of an additional 750,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor.
Following the closing of the IPO on October 26, 2021, and the underwriters’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option on November 8, 2021, aggregate proceeds of $227,250,000 from the net proceeds from the sale of the Units in the IPO and a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were deposited into the Company’s trust account (the “Trust Account”) maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee.
On January 23, 2023, the of board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) announced its decision to exercise the first extension option under our then existing amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from January 26, 2023 to April 26, 2023 (the “First Extension”), and the Company issued a non-convertible unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $2,250,000 to the Sponsor in connection with the Board’s decision to exercise the Second Extension and the Sponsor depositing an equivalent amount into the Trust Account.
On April 19, 2023, we held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders at which our shareholders approved the proposal to amend our then existing amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and adopted the current Memorandum and Articles (the “April 2023 EGM”), which, among other things, amended the amount which the Sponsor was required to deposit in the Trust Account in order to exercise the Second Extension (as defined below) to $0.10 per Public Share then in issue (after giving effect to any redemptions of Public Shares which were tendered for redemption in connection with the April 2023 EGM) and inserted an additional option to enable the Board to further extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination for a third time from July 26, 2023 to December 31, 2023. In connection with the votes to approve such proposals, 15,300,927 Public Shares were redeemed and, following such redemption, 7,199,073 Public Shares remained outstanding.
On April 24, 2023, the Board announced its decision to exercise the Second Extension to extend the period of time the Company had to consummate a business combination from April 26, 2023 to July 26, 2023. The Company issued a non-convertible unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $719,907.30 to the Sponsor in connection with the Board’s decision to exercise the Second Extension and the Sponsor deposited an equivalent amount into the Trust Account.
On July 14, 2023, the Board announced its decision to exercise the Third Extension (as defined below) to extend the period of time the Company has to consummate a business combination from July 26, 2023 to December 31, 2023, and the Sponsor voluntarily committed to make a monthly contribution to the Trust Account commencing on August 1, 2023 until the earliest of (i) the date on which the Company consummates a business combination or (ii) December 31, 2023. The monthly contribution was equal to $0.03 per Public Share outstanding, which, after giving effect to the redemption of 2,195,855 Public Shares which were tendered in connection with the exercise of the Third Extension, amounted to $150,096.54 per month. Following such redemptions in connection with the exercise of the Third Extension, 5,003,218 Public Shares remain in issue and outstanding.

The Fourth Extension
We are proposing to amend and restate the Memorandum and Articles by special resolution, by adopting the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles in the form set forth in Annex A hereto under the heading “Articles Amendment Proposal” to (i) remove references to term limits for directors of the Company, (ii) make certain updates to reflect the prior exercises by the Board of the extension options in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles, pursuant to which the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination was extended from April 26, 2023 to July 26, 2023 (the “Second Extension” and such date, the “Second Extension Date”) and subsequently extended from the Second Extension Date to December 31, 2023 (the “Third Extension” and such date, the “Third Extension Date”) and (iii) insert a fourth extension option to enable the Board to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from the Third Extension Date to April 30, 2024 (subject to the Sponsor committing to deposit $0.03 per Public Share then in issue in the Trust Account on the first business day of each month starting on January 2, 2024 until the earliest of (i) the date on which the Company consummates an initial Business Combination or (ii) April 30, 2024) (the “Fourth Extension” and such date, the “Fourth Extension Date”).
Approval of the Articles Amendment Proposal is a condition to the implementation of the Fourth Extension. In addition, the effectiveness of the Articles Amendment Proposal is conditioned on the Company having net tangible assets of at least US$5,000,001 after giving effect to any redemptions of Public Shares which are tendered for redemption in connection with the shareholder vote on the Articles Amendment Proposal (the “Minimum NTA Condition”).
Reasons for the Articles Amendment Proposal
The purpose of the Articles Amendment Proposal is to amend and restate the Memorandum and Articles, in the form of the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles set forth in Annex A, to, among other things, provide the Board with an option to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination for a fourth time to the Fourth Extension Date (April 30, 2024) to provide the Company with more time to complete its previously announced business combination with Gebr. SCHMID GmbH, a German limited liability company (“Schmid”) (the “Business Combination”).
While the Company and the other parties to the Business Combination Agreement are working toward completion of the Business Combination, the Board currently believes that there will not be sufficient time, within the applicable time limits outlined in the current Memorandum and Articles, to complete the Business Combination. The Board believes that the initial business combination opportunity with Schmid is compelling and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Therefore, the Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to amend and restate the Memorandum and Articles, in the form of the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles set forth in Annex A of the accompanying proxy statement, to, among other things, provide the Board with an option to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate the Business Combination for a fourth time from December 31, 2023 to April 30, 2024. If the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved by the requisite vote of our shareholders and the Minimum NTA Condition is satisfied, and the Board elects to exercise the Fourth Extension, the Company would have until up to April 30, 2024 to consummate a business combination.
If the Articles Amendment Proposal is not approved and the Company has not consummated an initial business combination on or before December 31, 2023, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem all of the Public Shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable ), divided by the number of Public Shares then in issue, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law.
 
32

 
We believe that the provision of the Memorandum and Articles described in the preceding paragraph was included to protect the Company’s shareholders from having to sustain their investments for an unreasonably long period if the Company failed to find a suitable initial business combination in the timeframe contemplated by the Memorandum and Articles. We also believe, however, that given the Company’s expenditure of time, effort and money to identify potential targets for a potential initial business combination, including the fact that we and the other parties to the Business Combination Agreement are working towards satisfaction of the conditions to the completion of the Business Combination, current circumstances warrant providing those who believe the Company might execute a potential business combination that is an attractive investment opportunity with an opportunity to consider such a transaction, inasmuch as we are also affording shareholders who wish to redeem their Public Shares the opportunity to do so.
You are not being asked to vote on an initial business combination at this time. If the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved and the Minimum NTA Condition is satisfied, and you do not elect to redeem all your Public Shares, you will retain the right to vote on any such business combination when and if it is submitted to shareholders (provided that you are a shareholder on the applicable record date) and the right to redeem your remaining Public Shares for cash in the event a business combination is approved and completed or in the event we have not consummated a business combination within the applicable time limits outlined in the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles. There can be no assurance that we will exercise the Fourth Extension and, if exercised, that we will be able to complete a business combination before the Fourth Extension Date, or at all.
A copy of the form of the proposed Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles is attached to this proxy statement as Annex A.
If the Fourth Extension Is Not Approved
If the Articles Amendment Proposal is not approved and we do not consummate an initial business combination on or before December 31 ,2023 (the applicable time limits as contemplated by our current Memorandum and Articles), we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law.
There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up. In the event of a liquidation, holders of our Founder Shares, including our Sponsor and our independent directors, will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of their ownership of the Founder Shares.
If the Fourth Extension Is Approved
Upon approval of the Articles Amendment Proposal by the requisite number of votes and subject to the Company having net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 after taking into account any redemption of Public Shares, the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles will become effective and the Board will have the option to extend the date by which we have to consummate a business combination to the Fourth Extension Date (April 30, 2024). The Company will remain a reporting company under the Exchange Act, and its Units, Class A Ordinary Shares and Public Warrants will remain publicly traded.
In the event that the Board elects to exercise the Fourth Extension, we anticipate we will continue our efforts to complete an initial business combination until the Fourth Extension Date.
If the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved by the requisite vote of shareholders and the Minimum NTA Condition is satisfied, the removal of the Withdrawal Amount from the Trust Account in connection
 
33

 
with shareholder redemptions will reduce the amount held in the Trust Account. The Company cannot predict the amount that will remain in the Trust Account if the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved, and the amount remaining in the Trust Account may be significantly less than the approximately $54,951,684.06 that was in the Trust Account as of November 8, 2023.
If the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved and the Board exercises the Fourth Extension but we do not complete a business combination by the Fourth Extension Date, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law. We cannot assure you that the per share distribution from the Trust Account, if we liquidate, will not be less than $10.10 due to unforeseen claims of creditors.
Redemption Rights
In connection with the Articles Amendment Proposal each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem all or a portion of his, her or its Public Shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, provided that the Company shall not redeem Public Shares in an amount that would cause the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than US$5,000,001 following such redemption. If the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved and implemented, holders of Public Shares who do not elect to redeem their Public Shares in connection with the Articles Amendment Proposal will retain the right to redeem their Public Shares in connection with any shareholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination, or if the Company has not consummated an initial business combination within the applicable time limits outlined in the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles.
IF YOU HOLD YOUR PUBLIC SHARES IN “STREET NAME”, TO DEMAND REDEMPTION, YOU MUST ENSURE YOUR BANK OR BROKER COMPLIES WITH THE REQUIREMENTS IDENTIFIED HEREIN, INCLUDING SUBMITTING A WRITTEN REQUEST THAT YOUR SHARES BE REDEEMED FOR CASH TO THE TRANSFER AGENT AND DELIVERING YOUR SHARES TO THE TRANSFER AGENT PRIOR TO 5:00 P.M. EASTERN TIME ON DECEMBER 5, 2023 (TWO BUSINESS DAYS PRIOR TO THE VOTE AT THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING).
Pursuant to the current Memorandum and Articles, a Public Shareholder may request that the Company redeem all or a portion of such Public Shareholder’s Public Shares for cash if the Articles Amendment Proposal is approved and the Minimum NTA Condition is satisfied. You will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if you:
i.
(a) hold Public Shares or (b) hold Public Shares as part of the combined units offered in the Company’s IPO, which each consisted of one Public Share and one-half of one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrants” and together with the Public Shares, the “Units”) and elect to separate such Units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares; and
ii.
prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 5, 2023, (two business days prior to the vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting), (a) submit a written request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, that the Company redeem their Public Shares for cash and (b) deliver their Public Shares to the transfer agent, physically or electronically through The Depository Trust Company. The Company also requests that any requests for redemption
 
34

 
include the identity as to the beneficial owner making such request, including such beneficial owner’s legal name, phone number, and address.
Holders of Units must elect to separate the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares. If holders hold their Units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the Units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants, or if a holder holds Units registered in its, his or her own name, the holder must contact the transfer agent directly and instruct it to do so. Public shareholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares even if they vote for the Articles Amendment Proposal.
Through the DTC’s DWAC (Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian) system, this electronic delivery process can be accomplished by the shareholder, whether or not it is a record holder or its shares are held in “street name,” by contacting the transfer agent or its broker and requesting delivery of its shares through the DWAC system. Delivering shares physically may take significantly longer. In order to obtain a physical share certificate, a shareholder’s broker and/or clearing broker, DTC, and the Company’s transfer agent will need to act together to facilitate this request. There is a nominal cost associated with the above-referenced tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The transfer agent will typically charge a tendering broker fee and the broker would determine whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming shareholder. It is the Company’s understanding that shareholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. The Company does not have any control over this process or over the brokers or DTC, and it may take longer than two weeks to obtain a physical share certificate. Such shareholders will have less time to make their investment decision than those shareholders that deliver their shares through the DWAC system. Shareholders who request physical share certificates and wish to redeem may be unable to meet the deadline or tendering their shares before exercising their redemption rights and thus will be unable to redeem their shares.
Public Shareholders may elect to redeem Public Shares regardless of if or how they vote in respect of the Articles Amendment Proposal, and regardless of whether they hold Public Shares on the record date for the Extraordinary General Meeting. If the Articles Amendment Proposal is not approved, or if the Articles Amendment Proposal is not implemented because the condition that the Company has net tangible assets of at least US$5,000,001 after giving effect to any redemptions of Public Shares which are tendered for redemption is not satisfied, the Public Shares will be returned to the respective holder, broker or bank.
Any demand for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests and thereafter, with the Company’s consent, until a vote is taken with respect to the Articles Amendment Proposal, if any. If you delivered your shares for redemption to the transfer agent and decide within the required timeframe not to exercise your redemption rights, you may request that Continental return the shares (physically or electronically). Such requests may be made by contacting Continental at the at the number or email address listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?”.
If properly demanded, the Company will redeem each Public Share for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares. Based upon the amount held in the Trust Account as of November 8, 2023, which was $54,951,684.06, and estimated interest income and taxes post-November 8, 2023, the Company estimates that the per-share price at which Public Shares may be redeemed from cash held in the Trust Account will be approximately $11.03 at the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting. The closing price of Public Shares on November 10, 2023 was $11.00. The Company cannot assure shareholders that they will be able to sell their Public Shares in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when such shareholders wish to sell their shares.
If you exercise your redemption rights, you will be exchanging your Public Shares for cash and will no longer own such shares. You will have no right to participate in, or have any interest in, the future growth of the Company, if any. You will be entitled to receive cash for your Public Shares only if you properly and timely demand redemption. The Company anticipates that a Public Shareholder who tenders shares for
 
35

 
redemption in connection with the vote to approve the Articles Amendment Proposal would receive payment of the redemption price for such shares soon after the completion of the implementation of the Articles Amendment Proposal.
U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations of Exercising Redemption Rights
The following discussion summarizes certain U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to U.S. Holders (as defined below) that elect to have all of their Class A Ordinary Shares (actually or constructively owned) redeemed for cash in connection with the approval of the Articles Amendment Proposal. U.S. Holders that elect to have less than all of their Class A Ordinary Shares (actually or constructively owned) redeemed for cash in connection with the approval of the Articles Amendment Proposal should consult their own advisors the U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising the redemption rights under their particular circumstances.
This discussion is limited to certain U.S. federal income tax considerations to U.S. Holders who hold the Class A Ordinary Shares as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion is a summary only and does not consider all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to U.S. Holders in light of their particular circumstances, and different consequences may apply if U.S. Holders are subject to special rules that apply to certain types of investors, including (but not limited to):

our sponsor, founders, officers or directors;

banks, financial institutions or financial services entities;

broker-dealers;

taxpayers that are subject to the mark-to-market accounting rules;

S-corporations;

tax-exempt entities;

governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;

insurance companies;

regulated investment companies;

real estate investment trusts;

controlled foreign corporations;

passive foreign investment companies;

expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States;

persons that actually or constructively own five percent or more (by vote or value) of our shares;

persons that acquired our securities pursuant to an exercise of employee share options, in connection with employee share incentive plans or otherwise as compensation;

persons that hold our securities as part of a straddle, constructive sale, hedging, conversion or other integrated or similar transaction;

U.S. Holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar; or

U.S. Holders that own our Class B Ordinary Shares.
The discussion below is based upon the provisions of the Code, the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as of the date hereof, and such provisions may be repealed, revoked, modified or subject to differing interpretations, possibly on a retroactive basis, so as to result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below. Furthermore, this discussion does not address the potential application of the alternative minimum tax, the Medicare contribution tax, consequences under Section 451(b) of the Code, or any aspect of U.S. federal non-income tax laws, such as gift or estate tax laws, or state, local or non-U.S. tax laws.
 
36

 
We have not sought, and will not seek, a ruling from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree with the discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulations, administrative rulings or court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.
As used herein, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of Class A Ordinary Shares who or that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes: (1) an individual citizen or resident of the United States; (2) a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is created or organized (or treated as created or organized) in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; (3) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or (4) a trust if (A) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (B) it has in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations a valid election to be treated as a U.S. person.
This discussion does not consider the tax treatment of partnerships or other pass-through entities or persons who hold our units or Class A Ordinary Shares through such entities. If a partnership (or other entity or arrangement classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is the owner of Class A Ordinary Shares, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partner and the partnership. Partnerships holding Class A Ordinary Shares and partners in such partnerships are urged to consult their own tax advisors.
EACH INVESTOR IN OUR SECURITIES IS URGED TO CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH INVESTOR OF EXERCISING THE REDEMPTION RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO THE CLASS A ORDRINARY SHARES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND NON-U.S. TAX LAWS.
We believe that we were a passive foreign investment company (a “PFIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our prior taxable years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022. Our PFIC status for our current taxable year ending December 31, 2023, however, depends in part on whether we complete a business combination prior to the end of such year, as well as the timing and specifics of any such business combination. Because these and other facts on which any determination of PFIC status are based may not be known until the close of our current taxable year, there can be no assurances with respect to our PFIC status for this year. Even if we are not a PFIC for our current taxable year, a determination that we were a PFIC for any prior taxable year will continue to apply to any U.S. Holders who held our Class A Ordinary Shares during such prior taxable years, absent certain elections described below.
If we are determined to be a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. Holder of our Class A Ordinary Shares and the U.S. Holder did not make either a valid and timely qualified electing fund (“QEF”) election or a mark-to-market election for our first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) Class A Ordinary Shares, each as further discussed below, then such U.S. Holder generally will be subject to special rules with respect to any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the redemption of Class A Ordinary Shares.
Under these rules:

the U.S. Holder’s gain on the redemption of Class A Ordinary Shares, if any, will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Class A Ordinary Shares;

the amount allocated to this taxable year will be taxed as ordinary income;

the amount allocated to prior taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for that year applicable to individual or corporate taxpayers, as applicable;

an interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such prior taxable year of the U.S. Holder; and
 
37

 

any loss realized on the redemption of Class A Ordinary Shares will be treated as either long-term or short-term capital loss depending on the holding period of the U.S. Holder. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to various limitations.
QEF Election
If a U.S. Holder has made a timely and valid QEF election in respect to our Class A Ordinary Shares for our first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder holds (or is deemed to hold) such Class A Ordinary Shares, the U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss on the redemption of Class A Ordinary Shares in an amount equal to the difference between (1) the sum of the amount of cash received in the redemption and (2) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Class A Ordinary Shares redeemed.
Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders are generally subject to U.S. federal income tax at a reduced rate of tax. Capital gain or loss will constitute long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Class A Ordinary Shares exceeds one year. It is unclear whether the redemption rights with respect to the Class A Ordinary Shares described in this Proxy Statement may prevent a U.S. Holder from satisfying the applicable holding period requirements for this purpose. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to various limitations that depend on each U.S. Holder’s particular facts and circumstances. U.S. Holders which hold different blocks of Class A Ordinary Shares (Class A Ordinary Shares purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) should consult their tax advisor to determine how the above rules apply to them.
Mark-to-Market Election
If a U.S. Holder has made a valid mark-to-market election for the first taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which the U.S. Holder holds (or is deemed to hold) Class A Ordinary Shares, such U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to the PFIC rules described above on the redemption of Class A Ordinary Shares. Instead, in general, the U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (1) the sum of the amount of cash received in the redemption and (2) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Class A Ordinary Shares redeemed. Such gain will be treated as ordinary income. Any loss will be treated as ordinary loss to the extent of the excess (if any) of (1) the amount previously included in gross income of the U.S. Holder over (2) the amount allowed as a deduction, under the mark-to-market election respect to Class A Ordinary Shares for prior taxable years. Any additional losses generally will be treated as capital loss. The U.S. Holder’s adjusted basis in such Class A Ordinary Shares generally will equal the U.S. Holder’s acquisition cost, increased by any mark-to-market gain included in gross income and decreased by the amount of any previously allowed deductions for mark-to-market loss.
The rules dealing with PFICs, including the QEF and mark-to-market elections, are very complex and are affected by various factors in addition to those described above. Accordingly, U.S. Holders of our Class A Ordinary Shares should consult their own tax advisors concerning the application of the PFIC rules to our Class A Ordinary Shares under their particular circumstances.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
Payments of proceeds from the redemption of Class A Ordinary Shares, made by a U.S. paying agent or other U.S. intermediary may be subject to information reporting to the IRS and possible U.S. backup withholding. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes other required certifications, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding and establishes such exempt status.
Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, and a U.S. Holder generally may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by timely filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS and furnishing any required information. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of backup withholding and the availability of and procedure for obtaining an exemption from backup withholding in their particular circumstances.

Full Text of the Resolution
“RESOLVED, as a special resolution, that, conditional upon the Company having net tangible assets of at least US$5,000,001 after giving effect to any share redemptions in connection with this resolution pursuant to article 54.7 of the existing memorandum and articles of association of the Company, the existing memorandum and articles of association of the Company be and are hereby replaced in their entirety with the new third amended and restated memorandum and articles of association in the form set forth in Annex A of the accompanying proxy statement.”
Required Vote
Approval of the Articles Amendment Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares entitled to vote and who, being present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof, vote on such matter. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
Our Sponsor and the Company’s directors and officers are expected to vote all Ordinary Shares owned by them in favor of the Articles Amendment Proposal. On the record date, such shareholders beneficially owned and were entitled to vote an aggregate of 4,250,000 Founder Shares. Assuming such shareholders vote in favor of the Articles Amendment Proposal and all outstanding Ordinary Shares are represented in person or by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting, only the affirmative vote of 2,835,479 additional Ordinary Shares is required to approve this proposal. See the section entitled “Beneficial Ownership of Securities” for additional information regarding the holders of Founder Shares and their respective ownership thereof.
Our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates may purchase Public Shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting. However, they have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. None of the funds in the Trust Account will be used to purchase Public Shares in such transactions. Any such purchases that are completed after the record date for the Extraordinary General Meeting may include an agreement with a selling shareholder that such shareholder, for so long as it remains the record holder of the shares in question, will vote in favor of the Articles Amendment Proposal and/or will not exercise its redemption rights with respect to the shares so purchased. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood that the resolutions to be put to the Extraordinary General Meeting are approved by the requisite number of votes. In the event that such purchases do occur, the purchasers may seek to purchase shares from shareholders who would otherwise have voted against the Articles Amendment Proposal and elected to redeem their shares for a portion of the Trust Account. Any such privately negotiated purchases may be affected at purchase prices that are below or in excess of the per-share pro rata portion of the Trust Account. Any Public Shares held by or subsequently purchased by our affiliates may be voted in favor of the Articles Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.
To the extent any such purchases by the Sponsor, the Company’s directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates are made in situations in which the tender offer rules restrictions on purchases apply, the Company will disclose in a Current Report on Form 8-K prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting the following: (i) the number of Public Shares purchased outside of the redemption offer, along with the purchase price(s) for such Public Shares; (ii) the purpose of any such purchases; (iii) the impact, if any, of the purchases on the likelihood that the Articles Amendment Proposal will be approved; (iv) the identities of the securityholders who sold to the Sponsor, the Company’s directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates (if not purchased on the open market) or the nature of the securityholders (e.g., 5% security holders) who sold such public shares; and (v) the number of Public Shares for which the Company has received redemption requests pursuant to its redemption offer.
The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of (i) otherwise limiting the number of Public Shares electing to redeem and (ii) the Company’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) being at least $5,000,001.
 
39

 
If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Articles Amendment Proposal to be effectuated in circumstances where such effectuation could not otherwise occur. Consistent with SEC guidance, shares purchased by the persons described above would not be permitted to be voted for the Articles Amendment Proposal at the Extraordinary General Meeting and could decrease the chances that the Articles Amendment Proposal would be approved. In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of our securities and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange.
Interests of the Sponsor and the Company’s Directors and Officers
When you consider the recommendation of our Board, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have interests that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholder. These interests include, among other things:
On October 26, 2021, the Company consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 20,000,000 units (“Units”) comprised of 20,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 (the “Public Shares”) and 10,000,000 redeemable warrants (the “Public Warrants”) and the concurrent sale of 9,000,000 private placement warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to Pegasus Digital Mobility Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”). On November 4, 2021, the Company’s underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option, and purchased an additional 2,500,000 Units comprised of 2,500,000 Public Shares and 1,250,000 Public Warrants and on the same date the Company consummated the concurrent sale of an additional 750,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor.

If the Articles Amendment Proposal is not approved and we do not consummate an initial business combination within the applicable time limits as contemplated by our current Memorandum and Articles, the 4,250,000 aggregate Founder Shares held by the Sponsor and certain of our directors and officers will be worthless (as the Sponsor and such directors and officers have waived liquidation rights with respect to such shares), as will the Private Placement Warrants held by the Sponsor;

In connection with the IPO, the Sponsor agreed that it will be liable under certain circumstances to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of any third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company or target businesses with which the Company has entered into certain agreements;

All rights specified in the Memorandum and Articles relating to the right of officers and directors to be indemnified by the Company, and of the Company’s officers and directors to be exculpated from monetary liability with respect to prior acts or omissions, will continue after an initial business combination and, if the Articles Amendment Proposal is not approved and no initial business combination is completed within the applicable time limits so that the Company liquidates, the Company will not be able to perform its obligations to its officers and directors under those provisions;

None of the Company’s officers or directors has received any cash compensation for services rendered to the Company, and all of the current officers and directors are expected to continue to serve in their roles at least through the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting and may continue to serve following any potential initial business combination and receive compensation thereafter;

The compensation committee of the Company has approved an individual retention fee of $500,000 each to be paid to Prof. Dr. Sir Ralf Speth, F. Jeremey Mistry and Stefan Berger following completion of the Business Combination subject to, among other conditions, such individuals remaining available as an advisor to TopCo and expecting to remain so for the six months following the completion of the Business Combination; and

The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors and their respective affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them related to identifying, investigating, negotiating and completing an initial business combination and, if the Articles Amendment Proposal is not approved and we do not consummate an initial business combination within the applicable time limits as contemplated by our current Memorandum and Articles, they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement so that the Company will most likely be unable to reimburse such expenses.

Recommendation
As discussed above, our Board has determined that the Articles Amendment Proposal is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Our Board has approved and declared advisable the adoption of the Articles Amendment Proposal.
OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE ARTICLES AMENDMENT PROPOSAL. OUR BOARD EXPRESSES NO OPINION AS TO WHETHER YOU SHOULD REDEEM YOUR PUBLIC SHARES.

PROPOSAL NO. 2 — THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL
Overview
The purpose of the Adjournment Proposal, if presented, is to allow the Company to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates if we determine that additional time is necessary to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes to approve the Articles Amendment Proposal or if we determine that additional time is necessary to effectuate the Articles Amendment Proposal. The Company also reserves the right to move to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting sine die in the event that the Board determines before the Extraordinary General Meeting that is not necessary or no longer desirable to proceed with the Articles Amendment Proposal. In either case, at the Extraordinary General Meeting the Company will ask its shareholders to vote only upon the Adjournment Proposal and not on the Articles Amendment Proposal.
Consequences if the Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved
If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved by our shareholders, our Board may not be able to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Articles Amendment Proposal or if the Board determines before the Extraordinary General Meeting that it is not necessary or no longer desirable to proceed with the Articles Amendment Proposal.
Full Text of the Resolution
“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that the adjournment of the extraordinary general meeting sine die or to a later time, date and place to be determined by the chairman of the extraordinary general meeting be and is hereby authorized and approved”
Vote Required for Approval
The Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares entitled to vote and who, being present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof, vote on such matter. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
Recommendation of the Board
As discussed above, after careful consideration of all relevant factors, our Board has determined that the Adjournment Proposal is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Our Board has approved and declared advisable adoption of the Adjournment Proposal, if presented.
IF PRESENTED, OUR BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT OUR SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL.

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES
The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our Ordinary Shares, based on the publicly available beneficial ownership reports filed on Schedule 13G with the SEC as of October 31, 2023, or as otherwise indicated based on information obtained from the persons named below with respect to the beneficial ownership of our Ordinary Shares, by:

each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding Ordinary Shares, based on the publicly available beneficial ownership reports filed on Schedule 13G with the SEC as of October 31, 2023;

each of our executive officers and directors; and

all our executive officers and directors as a group.
Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including options and warrants that are currently exercisable or will become exercisable within 60 days. Except as described in the footnotes below and subject to applicable community property laws and similar laws, we believe that each person listed below has sole voting and investment power with respect to such shares.
In the table below, percentage ownership is based on 28,125,000 Ordinary Shares, including 22,500,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and 5,625,000 Class B Ordinary Shares outstanding as of December 31, 2022. Voting power represents the combined voting power of Ordinary Shares owned beneficially by such person. On all matters to be voted upon, except for the election or removal of directors of the Board prior to the initial business combination, the holders of the Ordinary Shares vote together as a single class. The table below does not include Ordinary Shares underlying our outstanding warrants because such securities are not exercisable within 60 days.

DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS TO SHAREHOLDERS
For shareholders receiving printed proxy materials, unless we have received contrary instructions, we may send a single copy of this proxy statement to any household at which two or more shareholders reside if we believe the shareholders are members of the same family. This process, known as “householding,” reduces the volume of duplicate information received at any one household and helps to reduce our expenses. However, if shareholders prefer to receive multiple sets of our disclosure documents at the same address this year or in future years, the shareholders should follow the instructions described below. Similarly, if an address is shared with another shareholder and together both of the shareholders would like to receive only a single set of our disclosure documents, the shareholders should follow these instructions:

If the shares are registered in the name of the shareholder, the shareholder should contact us at our offices at 100 Field Point Rd., 1st Floor, Greenwich, CT 06830 or +1 (475) 282-0866 to inform us of his or her request; or

If a bank, broker or other nominee holds the shares, the beneficial owner should contact the bank, broker or other nominee directly.

VARIATION OF SHARE RIGHTS
10.1
If at any time the share capital of the Company is divided into different classes of Shares, all or any of the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class) may, whether or not the Company is being wound up, be varied without the consent of the holders of the issued Shares of that class where such variation is considered by the Directors not to have a material adverse effect upon such rights; otherwise, any such variation shall be made only with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the issued Shares of that class, or with the approval of a resolution passed by a majority of not less than two-thirds of the votes cast at a separate meeting of the holders of the Shares of that class (other than with respect to a waiver of the provisions of the Article in respect of Class B Share Conversion hereof, which as stated therein shall only require the consent in writing of the holders of a majority of the issued Shares of that class). For the avoidance of doubt, the Directors reserve the right, notwithstanding that any such variation may not have a material adverse effect, to obtain consent from the holders of Shares of the relevant class. To any such meeting all the provisions of the Articles relating to general meetings shall apply mutatis mutandis, except that the necessary quorum shall be one or more Persons holding or representing by proxy at least one-third of the issued Shares of the class (but so that if at any adjourned meeting of such holders a quorum as above defined is not present, those Members who are present shall form a quorum) and that any holder of Shares of the class present in person or by proxy may demand a poll.
10.2
For the purposes of a separate class meeting, the Directors may treat two or more or all the classes of Shares as forming one class of Shares if the Directors consider that such class of Shares would be affected in the same way by the proposals under consideration, but in any other case shall treat them as separate classes of Shares.
10.3
The rights conferred upon the holders of the Shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further Shares ranking pari passu therewith or Shares issued with preferred or other rights, any variation of the rights conferred upon the holders of Shares of any other Class, or the redemption or purchase of any Shares of any Class by the Company.
11.
COMMISSION ON SALES OF SHARES
The Company may, in so far as the Statute permits, pay a commission to any Person in consideration of his subscribing or agreeing to subscribe (whether absolutely or conditionally) or procuring or agreeing to procure subscriptions (whether absolutely or conditionally) for any Shares. Such commissions may be satisfied by the payment of cash and/or the issue of fully or partly paid-up Shares. The Company may also on any issue of Shares pay such brokerage as may be lawful.
12.
NON-RECOGNITION OF TRUSTS
The Company shall not be bound by or compelled to recognise in any way (even when notified) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any Share, or (except only as is otherwise provided by the Articles or the Statute) any other rights in respect of any Share other than an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the holder.
13.
LIEN ON SHARES
13.1
The Company shall have a first and paramount lien on all Shares (whether fully paid-up or not) registered in the name of a Member (whether solely or jointly with others) for all debts, liabilities or engagements to or with the Company (whether presently payable or not) by such Member or his estate, either alone or jointly with any other Person, whether a Member or not, but the Directors may at any time declare any Share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article. The registration of a transfer of any such Share shall operate as a waiver of the Company’s lien thereon. The Company’s lien on a Share shall also extend to any amount payable in respect of that Share.
13.2
The Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors think fit, any Shares on which the Company has a lien, if a sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable, and is not paid within fourteen
 
A-10

 
clear days after notice has been received or deemed to have been received by the holder of the Shares, or to the Person entitled to it in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of the holder, demanding payment and stating that if the notice is not complied with the Shares may be sold.
13.3
To give effect to any such sale the Directors may authorise any Person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Shares sold to, or in accordance with the directions of, the purchaser. The purchaser or his nominee shall be registered as the holder of the Shares comprised in any such transfer, and he shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall his title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the sale or the exercise of the Company’s power of sale under the Articles.
13.4
The net proceeds of such sale after payment of costs, shall be applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable and any balance shall (subject to a like lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the Shares before the sale) be paid to the Person entitled to the Shares at the date of the sale.
14.
CALLS ON SHARES
14.1
Subject to the terms of the allotment and issue of any Shares, the Directors may make calls upon the Members in respect of any monies unpaid on their Shares (whether in respect of par value or premium), and each Member shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen clear days’ notice specifying the time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times so specified the amount called on the Shares. A call may be revoked or postponed, in whole or in part, as the Directors may determine. A call may be required to be paid by instalments. A Person upon whom a call is made shall remain liable for calls made upon him notwithstanding the subsequent transfer of the Shares in respect of which the call was made.
14.2
A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Directors authorising such call was passed.
14.3
The joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof.
14.4
If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable, the Person from whom it is due shall pay interest on the amount unpaid from the day it became due and payable until it is paid at such rate as the Directors may determine (and in addition all expenses that have been incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment), but the Directors may waive payment of the interest or expenses wholly or in part.
14.5
An amount payable in respect of a Share on issue or allotment or at any fixed date, whether on account of the par value of the Share or premium or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a call and if it is not paid all the provisions of the Articles shall apply as if that amount had become due and payable by virtue of a call.
14.6
The Directors may issue Shares with different terms as to the amount and times of payment of calls, or the interest to be paid.
14.7
The Directors may, if they think fit, receive an amount from any Member willing to advance all or any part of the monies uncalled and unpaid upon any Shares held by him, and may (until the amount would otherwise become payable) pay interest at such rate as may be agreed upon between the Directors and the Member paying such amount in advance.
14.8
No such amount paid in advance of calls shall entitle the Member paying such amount to any portion of a Dividend or other distribution payable in respect of any period prior to the date upon which such amount would, but for such payment, become payable.

FORFEITURE OF SHARES
15.1
If a call or instalment of a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable the Directors may give to the Person from whom it is due not less than fourteen clear days’ notice requiring payment
 
A-11

 
of the amount unpaid together with any interest which may have accrued and any expenses incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment. The notice shall specify where payment is to be made and shall state that if the notice is not complied with the Shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.
15.2
If the notice is not complied with, any Share in respect of which it was given may, before the payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors. Such forfeiture shall include all Dividends, other distributions or other monies payable in respect of the forfeited Share and not paid before the forfeiture.
15.3
A forfeited Share may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think fit and at any time before a sale, re-allotment or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit. Where for the purposes of its disposal a forfeited Share is to be transferred to any Person the Directors may authorise some Person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Share in favour of that Person.
15.4
A Person any of whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Member in respect of them and shall surrender to the Company for cancellation the certificate for the Shares forfeited and shall remain liable to pay to the Company all monies which at the date of forfeiture were payable by him to the Company in respect of those Shares together with interest at such rate as the Directors may determine, but his liability shall cease if and when the Company shall have received payment in full of all monies due and payable by him in respect of those Shares.
15.5
A certificate in writing under the hand of one Director or officer of the Company that a Share has been forfeited on a specified date shall be conclusive evidence of the facts stated in it as against all Persons claiming to be entitled to the Share. The certificate shall (subject to the execution of an instrument of transfer) constitute a good title to the Share and the Person to whom the Share is sold or otherwise disposed of shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall his title to the Share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale or disposal of the Share.
15.6
The provisions of the Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non-payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a Share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the par value of the Share or by way of premium as if it had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.
16.
TRANSMISSION OF SHARES
16.1
If a Member dies, the survivor or survivors (where he was a joint holder), or his legal personal representatives (where he was a sole holder), shall be the only Persons recognised by the Company as having any title to his Shares. The estate of a deceased Member is not thereby released from any liability in respect of any Share, for which he was a joint or sole holder.
16.2
Any Person becoming entitled to a Share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other way than by transfer) may, upon such evidence being produced as may be required by the Directors, elect, by a notice in writing sent by him to the Company, either to become the holder of such Share or to have some Person nominated by him registered as the holder of such Share. If he elects to have another Person registered as the holder of such Share he shall sign an instrument of transfer of that Share to that Person. The Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by the relevant Member before his death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution or any other case than by transfer, as the case may be.
16.3
A Person becoming entitled to a Share by reason of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other case than by transfer) shall be entitled to the same Dividends, other distributions and other advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the holder of such Share. However, he shall not, before becoming a Member in respect of a Share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to general meetings of the Company and
 
A-12

 
the Directors may at any time give notice requiring any such Person to elect either to be registered himself or to have some Person nominated by him be registered as the holder of the Share (but the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by the relevant Member before his death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution or any other case than by transfer, as the case may be). If the notice is not complied with within ninety days of being received or deemed to be received (as determined pursuant to the Articles) the Directors may thereafter withhold payment of all Dividends, other distributions, bonuses or other monies payable in respect of the Share until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.
17.
SHARE RIGHTS
With the exception that the holder of a Class B Share shall have the conversion rights referred to in Article 18 and the Director appointment and removal rights referred to in Article 31.3 and except as otherwise specified in the Articles or required by law, the rights attaching to all Class A Shares and Class B Shares shall rank pari passu in all respects, and the Class A Shares and Class B Shares shall vote together as a single class on all matters.
18.
CLASS B SHARE CONVERSION
18.1
Class B Shares shall automatically convert into Class A Shares on a one-for-one basis (the Initial Conversion Ratio): (a) at any time and from time to time at the option of the holder thereof; and (b) automatically at the time of the closing of the initial Business Combination.
18.2
Notwithstanding the Initial Conversion Ratio, in the case that additional Class A Shares or any Equity-linked Securities are issued or deemed issued by the Company in excess of the amounts issued in the IPO and related to the closing of the initial Business Combination, the ratio at which the Class B Shares will convert into Class A Shares will be adjusted so that the number of Class A Shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B Shares will equal, in the aggregate, 20 per cent of the sum of: (a) the total number of Class A Shares and Class B Shares in issue upon completion of the IPO, plus (b) the total number of Class A Shares issued or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any Equity-linked Securities or rights issued, or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, excluding any Class A Shares or Equity-linked Securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A Shares issued, deemed issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any private placement warrants issued to the Sponsor, its Affiliates or any Director or officer of the Company upon conversion of working capital loans made to the Company.
18.3
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the foregoing adjustment to the Initial Conversion Ratio may be waived as to any particular issuance or deemed issuance of additional Class A Shares or Equity-linked Securities by the written consent or agreement of holders of a majority of the Class B Shares then in issue consenting or agreeing separately as a separate class in the manner provided in Article 10.
18.4
The foregoing conversion ratio shall also be adjusted to account for any share capitalisations, subdivision (by share split, subdivision, exchange, rights issue, reclassification, recapitalisation or otherwise) or combination (by reverse share split, share consolidation, exchange, reclassification, recapitalisation or otherwise) or similar reclassification or recapitalisation of the Class A Shares in issue into a greater or lesser number of shares occurring after the original filing of the Articles without a proportionate and corresponding share capitalisation, subdivision, combination or similar reclassification or recapitalisation of the Class B Shares in issue.
18.5
Each Class B Share shall convert into its pro rata number of Class A Shares pursuant to this Article. The pro rata share for each holder of Class B Shares will be determined as follows: each Class B Share shall convert into such number of Class A Shares as is equal to the product of 1 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of Class A Shares into which all of the Class B Shares in issue shall be converted pursuant to this Article and the denominator of which shall be the total number of Class B Shares in issue at the time of conversion.
 
A-13

 
18.6
References in this Article to converted, conversion or exchange shall mean the compulsory redemption without notice of Class B Shares of any Member and, on behalf of such Members, automatic application of such redemption proceeds in paying for such new Class A Shares into which the Class B Shares have been converted or exchanged at a price per Class B Share necessary to give effect to a conversion or exchange calculated on the basis that the Class A Shares to be issued as part of the conversion or exchange will be issued at par. The Class A Shares to be issued on an exchange or conversion shall be registered in the name of such Member or in such name as the Member may direct.
18.7
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article, in no event may any Class B Share convert into Class A Shares at a ratio that is less than one-for-one.
19.

21.7
A general meeting convened as aforesaid by requisitionists shall be convened in the same manner as nearly as possible as that in which general meetings are to be convened by Directors.
21.8
Members seeking to bring business before the annual general meeting or to nominate candidates for appointment as Directors at the annual general meeting must deliver notice to the principal executive offices of the Company not less than 120 calendar days before the date of the Company’s proxy statement released to Members in connection with the previous year’s annual general meeting or, if the Company did not hold an annual general meeting the previous year, or if the date of the current year’s annual general meeting has been changed by more than 30 days from the date of the previous year’s annual general meeting, then the deadline shall be set by the Directors with such deadline being a reasonable time before the Company begins to print and send its related proxy materials.
22.

At least five clear days’ notice shall be given of any general meeting. Every notice shall specify the place, the day and the hour of the meeting and the general nature of the business to be conducted at the general meeting and shall be given in the manner hereinafter mentioned or in such other manner if any as may be prescribed by the Company by Ordinary Resolution to such Persons as are, under the Articles, entitled to receive such notices from the Company , provided that a general meeting of the Company shall, whether or not the notice specified in this Article has been given and whether or not the provisions of the Articles regarding general meetings have been complied with, be deemed to have been duly convened if it is so agreed:

23.2
A Person may participate at a general meeting by conference telephone, video, a virtual platform or other communications equipment by means of which all the Persons participating in the meeting can communicate with each other.

23.4
If a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting to commence or if during such a meeting a quorum ceases to be present, the meeting, if convened upon a Members’ requisition, shall be dissolved and in any other case it shall stand adjourned to the same day in the next week at the same time and place or to such other day, time and/or place as the Directors may determine, and if at the adjourned meeting a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting to commence, the Members present shall be a quorum.

The Directors may, at any time prior to the time appointed for the meeting to commence, appoint any Person to act as chairman of a general meeting of the Company or, if the Directors do not make any such appointment, the chairman, if any, of the board of Directors shall preside as chairman at such general meeting. If there is no such chairman, or if he shall not be present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for the meeting to commence, or is unwilling to act, the Directors present shall elect one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.
23.6
If no Director is willing to act as chairman or if no Director is present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for the meeting to commence, the Members present shall choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.
23.7
The chairman may adjourn a meeting from time to time and from place to place either:
(a)
with the consent of a meeting at which a quorum is present (and shall if so directed by the meeting by Ordinary Resolution); or
(b)
without the consent of such meeting if, in his sole opinion, he considers it necessary to do so to:
(i)
secure the orderly conduct or proceedings of the meeting; or
(ii)
give all Persons present in person or by proxy and having the right to speak and/or vote at such meeting, the ability to do so,
but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business left unfinished at the meeting from which the adjournment took place.
23.8
When a general meeting is adjourned for thirty days or more, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as in the case of an original meeting. Otherwise it shall not be necessary to give any such notice of an adjourned meeting.
23.9
A resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a poll.
23.10
A poll shall be taken in such manner as the chairman directs, and the result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the general meeting at which the poll was demanded.

Subject to any rights or restrictions attached to any Shares (including as set out at Article 31.3 and Article 54), every Member who being an individual is present in person or by proxy or, if a corporation or other non-natural person is present by its duly authorised representative or by proxy, shall have one vote for every Share of which he is the holder.
24.2
In the case of joint holders the vote of the senior holder who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy (or, in the case of a corporation or other non-natural person, by its duly authorised representative or proxy), shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders, and seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names of the holders stand in the Register of Members.
24.3
A Member of unsound mind, or in respect of whom an order has been made by any court, having jurisdiction in lunacy, may vote, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, by his committee, receiver, curator bonis, or other Person on such Member’s behalf appointed by that court, and any such committee, receiver, curator bonis or other Person may vote by proxy.
24.4
No Person shall be entitled to vote at any general meeting unless he is registered as a Member on the record date for such meeting nor unless all calls or other monies then payable by him in respect of Shares have been paid.
24.5
No objection shall be raised as to the qualification of any voter except at the general meeting or adjourned general meeting at which the vote objected to is given or tendered and every vote not disallowed at the meeting shall be valid. Any objection made in due time in accordance with this Article shall be referred to the chairman whose decision shall be final and conclusive.
24.6
Votes may be cast either personally or by proxy (or in the case of a corporation or other non-natural person by its duly authorised representative or proxy). A Member may appoint more than one proxy or the same proxy under one or more instruments to attend and vote at a meeting. Where a Member appoints more than one proxy the instrument of proxy shall specify the number of Shares in respect of which each proxy is entitled to exercise the related votes.
24.7
A Member holding more than one Share need not cast the votes in respect of his Shares in the same way on any resolution and therefore may vote a Share or some or all such Shares either for or against a resolution and/or abstain from voting a Share or some or all of the Shares and, subject to the terms of the instrument appointing him, a proxy appointed under one or more instruments may vote a Share or some or all of the Shares in respect of which he is appointed either for or against a resolution and/or abstain from voting a Share or some or all of the Shares in respect of which he is appointed.
25.
PROXIES
25.1
The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing and shall be executed under the hand of the appointor or of his attorney duly authorised in writing, or, if the appointor is a corporation or other non-natural person, under the hand of its duly authorised representative. A proxy need not be a Member.
25.2
The Directors may, in the notice convening any meeting or adjourned meeting, or in an instrument of proxy sent out by the Company, specify the manner by which the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deposited and the place and the time (being not later than the time appointed for the commencement of the meeting or adjourned meeting to which the proxy relates) at which the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deposited. In the absence of any such direction from the Directors in the notice convening any meeting or adjourned meeting or in an instrument of proxy sent out by the Company, the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deposited physically at the Registered Office not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the meeting or adjourned meeting to commence at which the Person named in the instrument proposes to vote.
 
A-17

 
25.3
The chairman may in any event at his discretion declare that an instrument of proxy shall be deemed to have been duly deposited. An instrument of proxy that is not deposited in the manner permitted, or which has not been declared to have been duly deposited by the chairman, shall be invalid.
25.4
The instrument appointing a proxy may be in any usual or common form (or such other form as the Directors may approve) and may be expressed to be for a particular meeting or any adjournment thereof or generally until revoked. An instrument appointing a proxy shall be deemed to include the power to demand or join or concur in demanding a poll.
25.5
Votes given in accordance with the terms of an instrument of proxy shall be valid notwithstanding the previous death or insanity of the principal or revocation of the proxy or of the authority under which the proxy was executed, or the transfer of the Share in respect of which the proxy is given unless notice in writing of such death, insanity, revocation or transfer was received by the Company at the Registered Office before the commencement of the general meeting, or adjourned meeting at which it is sought to use the proxy.
26.
CORPORATE MEMBERS
Any corporation or other non-natural person which is a Member may in accordance with its constitutional documents, or in the absence of such provision by resolution of its directors or other governing body, authorise such Person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of the Company or of any class of Members, and the Person so authorised shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the corporation which he represents as the corporation could exercise if it were an individual Member.
27.
CLEARING HOUSES
If a clearing house (or its nominee(s)), being a corporation, is a Member it may authorise such Person or Persons as it thinks fit to act as its representative or representatives at any general meeting of the Company or at any meeting of any class of Members provided that, if more than one Person is so authorised, the authorisation shall specify the number and class of Shares in respect of which each such Person is so authorised. A Person so authorised pursuant to this Article shall be deemed to have been duly authorised without further evidence of the facts and be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the clearing house (or its nominee(s)) which he represents as if such Person was the registered holder of such Shares held by the clearing house (or its nominee(s)).
28.
SHARES THAT MAY NOT BE VOTED
Shares in the Company that are beneficially owned by the Company shall not be voted, directly or indirectly, at any meeting and shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding Shares at any given time.

Subject to the provisions of the Statute, the Memorandum and the Articles and to any directions given by Special Resolution, the business of the Company shall be managed by the Directors who may exercise all the powers of the Company. No alteration of the Memorandum or Articles and no such direction shall invalidate any prior act of the Directors which would have been valid if that alteration had not been made or that direction had not been given. A duly convened meeting of the Directors at which a quorum is present may exercise all powers exercisable by the Directors.
 
A-18

 
30.2

31.5
The Directors may appoint any Person to be a Director, either to fill a vacancy or as an additional Director, provided that the appointment does not cause the number of Directors to exceed any number fixed by or in accordance with the Articles as the maximum number of Directors.

A Director who also acts as an alternate Director shall, if his appointor is not present, count twice towards the quorum.
33.2
Subject to the provisions of the Articles, the Directors may regulate their proceedings as they think fit. Questions arising at any meeting of the Directors shall be decided by a majority of votes. In the case of an equality of votes, the chairman shall have a second or casting vote. A Director who is also an alternate Director shall be entitled in the absence of his appointor to a separate vote on behalf of his appointor in addition to his own vote.
33.3
A Person may participate in a meeting of the Directors or any committee of Directors by conference telephone, video, a virtual platform or other communications equipment by means of which all the Persons participating in the meeting can communicate with each other at the same time. Participation by a Person in a meeting in this manner is treated as presence in person at that meeting. Unless otherwise determined by the Directors the meeting shall be deemed to be held at the place where the chairman is located at the start of the meeting.
33.4
A resolution in writing (in one or more counterparts) signed by all the Directors or all the members of a committee of the Directors or, in the case of a resolution in writing relating to the removal of any Director or the vacation of office by any Director, all of the Directors other than the Director who is the subject of such resolution (an alternate Director being entitled to sign such a resolution on behalf of his appointor and if such alternate Director is also a Director, being entitled to sign such resolution both on behalf of his appointer and in his capacity as a Director) shall be as valid and effectual as if it had been passed at a meeting of the Directors, or committee of Directors as the case may be, duly convened and held.
33.5
A Director or alternate Director may, or other officer of the Company on the direction of a Director or alternate Director shall, call a meeting of the Directors by at least two days’ notice in writing to every Director and alternate Director which notice shall set forth the general nature of the business to be considered unless notice is waived by all the Directors (or their alternates) either at, before or after the meeting is held. To any such notice of a meeting of the Directors all the provisions of the Articles relating to the giving of notices by the Company to the Members shall apply mutatis mutandis.
33.6
The continuing Directors (or a sole continuing Director, as the case may be) may act notwithstanding any vacancy in their body, but if and so long as their number is reduced below the number fixed by or pursuant to the Articles as the necessary quorum of Directors the continuing Directors or Director may act for the purpose of increasing the number of Directors to be equal to such fixed number, or of summoning a general meeting of the Company, but for no other purpose.
33.7
The Directors may elect a chairman of their board and determine the period for which he is to hold office, but if no such chairman is elected, or if at any meeting the chairman is not present within five minutes after the time appointed for the meeting to commence, the Directors present may choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.
33.8
Subject to any regulations imposed on it by the Directors, including where the Directors have designated a chairman of the committee, a committee appointed by the Directors may elect a chairman of its meetings and determine the period for which he is to hold office; but if no such chairman is elected, or if at any meeting the chairman is not present within five minutes after the time appointed for the meeting to commence, the committee members present may choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.
33.9
A committee appointed by the Directors may meet and adjourn as it thinks proper. Subject to any regulations imposed on it by the Directors, questions arising at any committee meeting shall be determined by a majority of votes of the committee members present and in case of an equality of votes the chairman shall have a second or casting vote.

DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND RESERVE
42.1
Subject to the Statute and this Article and except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to any Shares, the Directors may resolve to pay Dividends and other distributions on Shares in issue and authorise payment of the Dividends or other distributions out of the funds of the Company lawfully available therefor. A Dividend shall be deemed to be an interim Dividend unless the terms of the resolution pursuant to which the Directors resolve to pay such Dividend specifically state that such Dividend shall be a final Dividend. No Dividend or other distribution shall be paid except out of the realised or unrealised profits of the Company, out of the Share Premium Account or as otherwise permitted by law.
42.2
Except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to any Shares, all Dividends and other distributions shall be paid according to the par value of the Shares that a Member holds. If any Share is issued on terms providing that it shall rank for Dividend as from a particular date, that Share shall rank for Dividend accordingly.
42.3
The Directors may deduct from any Dividend or other distribution payable to any Member all sums of money (if any) then payable by him to the Company on account of calls or otherwise.
42.4
The Directors may resolve that any Dividend or other distribution be paid wholly or partly by the distribution of specific assets and in particular (but without limitation) by the distribution of shares, debentures, or securities of any other company or in any one or more of such ways and where any difficulty arises in regard to such distribution, the Directors may settle the same as they think expedient and in particular may issue fractional Shares and may fix the value for distribution of such specific assets or any part thereof and may determine that cash payments shall be made to any Members upon the basis of the value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of all Members and may vest any such specific assets in trustees in such manner as may seem expedient to the Directors.
42.5
Except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to any Shares, Dividends and other distributions may be paid in any currency. The Directors may determine the basis of conversion for any currency conversions that may be required and how any costs involved are to be met.
42.6
The Directors may, before resolving to pay any Dividend or other distribution, set aside such sums as they think proper as a reserve or reserves which shall, at the discretion of the Directors, be applicable for any purpose of the Company and pending such application may, at the discretion of the Directors, be employed in the business of the Company.
42.7
Any Dividend, other distribution, interest or other monies payable in cash in respect of Shares may be paid by wire transfer to the holder or by cheque or warrant sent through the post directed to the registered address of the holder or, in the case of joint holders, to the registered address of the holder who is first named on the Register of Members or to such Person and to such address as such holder or joint holders may in writing direct. Every such cheque or warrant shall be made payable to the order of the Person to whom it is sent. Any one of two or more joint holders may give effectual receipts for any Dividends, other distributions, bonuses, or other monies payable in respect of the Share held by them as joint holders.
42.8
No Dividend or other distribution shall bear interest against the Company.
42.9
Any Dividend or other distribution which cannot be paid to a Member and/or which remains unclaimed after six months from the date on which such Dividend or other distribution becomes payable may, in the discretion of the Directors, be paid into a separate account in the Company’s name, provided that the Company shall not be constituted as a trustee in respect of that account and the Dividend or other distribution shall remain as a debt due to the Member. Any Dividend or other distribution which remains unclaimed after a period of six years from the date on which such Dividend or other distribution becomes payable shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Company.

43.
CAPITALISATION
The Directors may at any time capitalise any sum standing to the credit of any of the Company’s reserve accounts or funds (including the Share Premium Account and capital redemption reserve fund) or any sum standing to the credit of the profit and loss account or otherwise available for distribution; appropriate such sum to Members in the proportions in which such sum would have been divisible amongst such Members had the same been a distribution of profits by way of Dividend or other distribution; and apply such sum on their behalf in paying up in full unissued Shares for allotment and distribution credited as fully paid-up to and amongst them in the proportion aforesaid. In such event the Directors shall do all acts and things required to give effect to such capitalisation, with full power given to the Directors to make such provisions as they think fit in the case of Shares becoming distributable in fractions (including provisions whereby the benefit of fractional entitlements accrue to the Company rather than to the Members concerned). The Directors may authorise any Person to enter on behalf of all of the Members interested into an agreement with the Company providing for such capitalisation and matters incidental or relating thereto and any agreement made under such authority shall be effective and binding on all such Members and the Company.
44.
SHARE PREMIUM ACCOUNT

There shall be debited to any Share Premium Account on the redemption or purchase of a Share the difference between the nominal value of such Share and the redemption or purchase price provided always that at the determination of the Directors such sum may be paid out of the profits of the Company or, if permitted by the Statute, out of capital.

Such books of account must be retained for a minimum period of five years from the date on which they are prepared. Proper books shall not be deemed to be kept if there are not kept such books of account as are necessary to give a true and fair view of the state of the Company’s affairs and to explain its transactions.
45.2
The Directors shall determine whether and to what extent and at what times and places and under what conditions or regulations the accounts and books of the Company or any of them shall be open to the inspection of Members not being Directors and no Member (not being a Director) shall have any right of inspecting any account or book or document of the Company except as conferred by Statute or authorised by the Directors or by the Company in general meeting.
45.3
The Directors may cause to be prepared and to be laid before the Company in general meeting profit and loss accounts, balance sheets, group accounts (if any) and such other reports and accounts as may be required by law.

46.2

A-25

 
46.3
Every Auditor of the Company shall have a right of access at all times to the books and accounts and vouchers of the Company and shall be entitled to require from the Directors and officers of the Company such information and explanation as may be necessary for the performance of the duties of the Auditor.
46.4
Auditors shall, if so required by the Directors, make a report on the accounts of the Company during their tenure of office at the next annual general meeting following their appointment in the case of a company which is registered with the Registrar of Companies as an ordinary company, and at the next extraordinary general meeting following their appointment in the case of a company which is registered with the Registrar of Companies as an exempted company, and at any other time during their term of office, upon request of the Directors or any general meeting of the Company.
46.5
Without prejudice to the freedom of the Directors to establish any other committee, if any of the Shares (or depositary receipts therefor) are listed or quoted on a Designated Stock Exchange, and if required by the rules of the Designated Stock Exchange, the Directors shall establish and maintain an Audit Committee as a committee of the board of Directors and shall adopt a formal written audit committee charter and review and assess the adequacy of the formal written charter on an annual basis. The composition and responsibilities of the Audit Committee shall comply with the rules and regulations of the SEC and the Designated Stock Exchange. The Audit Committee (if one exists) shall meet at least once every financial quarter, or more frequently as circumstances dictate.
46.6
If any of the Shares (or depositary receipts therefor) are listed or quoted on a Designated Stock Exchange, the Company shall conduct an appropriate review of all related party transactions on an ongoing basis and shall utilise the Audit Committee for the review and approval of potential conflicts of interest.
46.7
The remuneration of the Auditor shall be fixed by the Audit Committee (if one exists) or otherwise by the Directors.
46.8
Any payment made to members of the Audit Committee (if one exists) shall require the review and approval of the Directors, with any Director interested in such payment abstaining from such review and approval.
46.9
If any of the Shares (or depositary receipts therefor) are listed or quoted on a Designated Stock Exchange, the Audit Committee shall monitor compliance with the terms of the IPO and, if any non-compliance is identified, the Audit Committee shall be charged with the responsibility to take all action necessary to rectify such non-compliance or otherwise cause compliance with the terms of the IPO.

Notices shall be in writing and may be given by the Company to any Member either personally or by sending it by courier, post, cable, telex, fax or e-mail to him or to his address as shown in the Register of Members (or where the notice is given by e-mail by sending it to the e-mail address provided by such Member). For so long as any of the Shares are traded on a Designated Stock Exchange, notice must also be served in accordance with the requirements of the Designated Stock Exchange.
47.2
Where a notice is sent by courier, service of the notice shall be deemed to be effected by delivery of the notice to a courier company, and shall be deemed to have been received on the third day (not including Saturdays or Sundays or public holidays) following the day on which the notice was delivered to the courier. Where a notice is sent by post, service of the notice shall be deemed to be effected by properly addressing, pre paying and posting a letter containing the notice, and shall be deemed to have been received on the fifth day (not including Saturdays or Sundays or public holidays in the Cayman Islands) following the day on which the notice was posted. Where a notice is sent by cable, telex or fax, service of the notice shall be deemed to be effected by properly addressing and sending such notice and shall be deemed to have been received on the same day that it was transmitted. Where a notice is given by e-mail service shall be deemed to be effected by transmitting the e-mail to the e-mail address provided by the intended recipient and shall be deemed to have been received on the same day that it was sent, and it shall not be necessary for the receipt of the e-mail to be acknowledged by the recipient.
 
A-26

A notice may be given by the Company to the Person or Persons which the Company has been advised are entitled to a Share or Shares in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a Member in the same manner as other notices which are required to be given under the Articles and shall be addressed to them by name, or by the title of representatives of the deceased, or trustee of the bankrupt, or by any like description at the address supplied for that purpose by the Persons claiming to be so entitled, or at the option of the Company by giving the notice in any manner in which the same might have been given if the death or bankruptcy had not occurred.
47.4
Notice of every general meeting shall be given in any manner authorised by the Articles to every holder of Shares carrying an entitlement to receive such notice on the record date for such meeting except that in the case of joint holders the notice shall be sufficient if given to the joint holder first named in the Register of Members and every Person upon whom the ownership of a Share devolves by reason of his being a legal personal representative or a trustee in bankruptcy of a Member where the Member but for his death or bankruptcy would be entitled to receive notice of the meeting, and no other Person shall be entitled to receive notices of general meetings.
48.
WINDING UP
48.1
If the Company shall be wound up, the liquidator shall apply the assets of the Company in satisfaction of creditors’ claims in such manner and order as such liquidator thinks fit. Subject to the rights attaching to any Shares, in a winding up:
(a)
if the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be insufficient to repay the whole of the Company’s issued share capital, such assets shall be distributed so that, as nearly as may be, the losses shall be borne by the Members in proportion to the par value of the Shares held by them; or
(b)
if the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the Company’s issued share capital at the commencement of the winding up, the surplus shall be distributed amongst the Members in proportion to the par value of the Shares held by them at the commencement of the winding up subject to a deduction from those Shares in respect of which there are monies due, of all monies payable to the Company for unpaid calls or otherwise.
48.2
If the Company shall be wound up the liquidator may, subject to the rights attaching to any Shares and with the approval of a Special Resolution of the Company and any other approval required by the Statute, divide amongst the Members in kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company (whether such assets shall consist of property of the same kind or not) and may for that purpose value any assets and determine how the division shall be carried out as between the Members or different classes of Members. The liquidator may, with the like approval, vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the Members as the liquidator, with the like approval, shall think fit, but so that no Member shall be compelled to accept any asset upon which there is a liability.
49.
INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE
49.1
Every Director and officer of the Company (which for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include Auditors of the Company), together with every former Director and former officer of the Company (each an Indemnified Person) shall be indemnified out of the assets of the Company against any liability, action, proceeding, claim, demand, costs, damages or expenses, including legal expenses, whatsoever which they or any of them may incur as a result of any act or failure to act in carrying out their functions other than such liability (if any) that they may incur by reason of their own actual fraud, wilful default or wilful neglect. No Indemnified Person shall be liable to the Company for any loss or damage incurred by the Company as a result (whether direct or indirect) of the carrying out of their functions unless that liability arises through the actual fraud, wilful default or wilful neglect of such Indemnified Person. No Person shall be found to have committed actual fraud, wilful default or wilful neglect under this Article unless or until a court of competent jurisdiction shall have made a finding to that effect.
 
A-27

 
49.2
The Company shall advance to each Indemnified Person reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the defence of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation involving such Indemnified Person for which indemnity will or could be sought.

If it shall be determined by a final judgment or other final adjudication that such Indemnified Person was not entitled to indemnification with respect to such judgment, costs or expenses, then such party shall not be indemnified with respect to such judgment, costs or expenses and any advancement shall be returned to the Company (without interest) by the Indemnified Person.
49.3
The Directors, on behalf of the Company, may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any Director or officer of the Company against any liability which, by virtue of any rule of law, would otherwise attach to such Person in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which such Person may be guilty in relation to the Company.
49.4
The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred on any Indemnified Person as set out in this Article will not be exclusive of any other rights that any Indemnified Person may have or hereafter acquire.

54.
BUSINESS COMBINATION
54.1
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Articles, this Article shall apply during the period commencing upon the adoption of the Articles and terminating upon the first to occur of the consummation of any Business Combination and the full distribution of the funds held in the Trust Account pursuant to this Article. In the event of a conflict between this Article and any other Articles, the provisions of this Article shall prevail.
54.2
Prior to the consummation of any Business Combination, the Company shall either:
(a)
submit such Business Combination to the Members for approval; or
 
A-28

 
(b)
provide Members with the opportunity to have their Public Shares repurchased by means of a tender offer for a per-Share repurchase price payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any, divided by the number of Public Shares then in issue, provided that the Company shall not repurchase Public Shares in an amount that would exceed the Redemption Limitation. Such obligation to repurchase Public Shares is subject to the completion of the proposed Business Combination to which it relates.
54.3
If the Company initiates any tender offer in accordance with Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E of the US Exchange Act in connection with a Business Combination, it shall file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination which contain substantially the same financial and other information about such Business Combination and the redemption rights as is required under Regulation 14A of the US Exchange Act. If, alternatively, the Company holds a Member vote to approve a proposed Business Combination, the Company will conduct any redemptions in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to Regulation 14A of the US Exchange Act, and not pursuant to the tender offer rules, and file proxy materials with the SEC.
54.4
At a general meeting called for the purposes of approving a Business Combination pursuant to this Article, in the event that such Business Combination is approved by Ordinary Resolution, the Company shall be authorised to consummate such Business Combination, provided that the Company shall not consummate such Business Combination unless the Company has net tangible assets of at least US$5,000,001 immediately prior to or upon such consummation of, or any greater net tangible asset or cash requirement that may be contained in the agreement relating to, such Business Combination (the Redemption Limitation).
54.5
Any Member holding Public Shares who is not a Founder, Director or officer of the Company may, at least two business days prior to any vote on a Business Combination, elect to have their Public Shares redeemed for cash (the IPO Redemption), provided that no such Member acting together with any Affiliate of his or any other Person with whom he is acting in concert or as a partnership, syndicate, or other group for the purposes of acquiring, holding, or disposing of Shares may exercise this redemption right with respect to more than 15 per cent of the Public Shares without the prior consent of the Company, and provided further that any Person that holds Public Shares beneficially through a nominee must identify itself to the Company in connection with any redemption election in order to validly redeem such Public Shares. In connection with any vote held to approve a proposed Business Combination, holders of Public Shares seeking to exercise their redemption rights may be required to either tender their certificates (if any) to the Company’s transfer agent prior to the date set forth in the tender offer documents or proxy materials mailed to such holders, or up to two business days prior to the scheduled vote on the proposal to approve the Business Combination in the event we distribute proxy materials or to deliver their shares to the transfer agent electronically using The Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) System up to two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote on the proposal to approve a Business Combination and comply with any other applicable requirements provided for in the related proxy materials. If so demanded, the Company shall pay any such redeeming Member, regardless of whether he is voting for or against such proposed Business Combination, a per-Share redemption price payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any, divided by the number of Public Shares then in issue (such redemption price being referred to herein as the Redemption Price), provided that the Company shall not redeem Public Shares in an amount that would exceed the Redemption Limitation. The Redemption Price shall be paid promptly following the consummation of the relevant Business Combination. If the proposed Business Combination is not approved or completed for any reason then such redemptions shall be cancelled and share certificates (if any) returned to the relevant Members as appropriate.
54.6
