Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On February 8, 2023, AXIOS Sustainable Growth Acquisition Corporation ("AXIOS"
or the "Company"), and AXIOS Sponsor LP (the "Sponsor"), the Company's sponsor,
entered into one or more agreements (the "Non-Redemption Agreements") with one
or more third parties holding an aggregate of 400,000 shares of common stock in
exchange for them agreeing not to redeem shares of the Company's common stock
sold in its initial public offering (the "public shares") at the February 2023
special meeting of stockholders called by the Company (the "Meeting") at which a
proposal to approve an extension of time for the Company to consummate an
initial business combination (the "Extension Proposal") from February 18, 2023
to May 18, 2023 (the "Extension") has been submitted to the stockholders.
Pursuant to the Non-Redemption Agreements, the shareholders have agreed to vote
in favor of the Extension Proposal. The Non-Redemption Agreements provide for
the allocation of one shares of common stock of the Company held by the Sponsor
in exchange for each five public shares the investor agrees to hold and not
redeem at the Meeting. The Company and the Sponsor anticipate executing
additional Non-Redemption Agreements with other investors prior to the Meeting.
The Non-Redemption Agreements shall terminate on the earlier of (a) the
liquidation or dissolution of the Company pursuant to its charter if the
Extension is not obtained, or (b) February 18, 2024.
The Non-Redemption Agreements are expected to increase the likelihood that the
Extension Proposal is approved by stockholders and to increase the amount of
funds that remain in the Company's trust account following the Meeting.
The foregoing summary of the Non-Redemption Agreements does not purport to be
complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of
Non-Redemption Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein
by reference.
Important Information and Where to Find It
AXIOS has mailed to its shareholders of record as of January 30, 2023 a
definitive proxy statement (along with the definitive additional materials filed
on February 1, 2023, the "Extension Proxy Statement") for a special meeting of
shareholders to be held on February 14, 2023 to approve an extension of time for
AXIOS to complete an initial business combination through May 18, 2023 (the
"Extension Proposal"). Shareholders may obtain a copy of the Extension Proxy
Statement, without charge, by directing a request to: AXIOS Sustainable Growth
Acquisition Corporation, Hidden Pines Farm, 14090 Hopewell Road, Alpharetta,
Georgia 30004. The Extension Proxy Statement can also be obtained, without
charge, at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")'s website
(www.sec.gov).
If a legally binding definitive agreement with respect to the proposed business
combination is executed AXIOS intends to file a preliminary proxy statement (a
"Deal Proxy Statement") with the SEC. A definitive Deal Proxy Statement will be
mailed to shareholders of AXIOS as of a record date to be established for voting
on the proposed transaction. Shareholders will also be able to obtain a copy of
the Deal Proxy Statement, without charge, by directing a request to: AXIOS
Sustainable Growth Acquisition Corporation, Hidden Pines Farm, 14090 Hopewell
Road, Alpharetta, Georgia 30004. The preliminary and definitive Deal Proxy
Statement, once available, can also be obtained, without charge, at the SEC's
website (www.sec.gov).
AXIOS urges investors, shareholders, and other interested persons to read the
Extension Proxy Statement and, when available, the preliminary Deal Proxy
Statement as well as other documents filed with the SEC because these documents
do and will contain important information about AXIOS, the Proxy Extension
Proposal, the potential target company and the proposed transaction.
