Item 8.01. Other Events.
On January 3, 2023, Deep Lake Capital Acquisition Corp. (the "Company")
announced that it will redeem all of its outstanding Class A ordinary shares,
par value $0.0001 (the "Public Shares"), effective as of January 17, 2023,
because the Company will not consummate an initial business combination within
the time period required by its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of
Association (the "Articles").
As stated in the Company's Form S-1 and in the Articles, if the Company is
unable to complete an initial business combination within 24 months from the
closing of its initial public offering on January 15, 2021, 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
("Trust Account"), including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust
Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes (less
up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the
number of then Public Shares in issue, which redemption will completely
extinguish public shareholders' rights as shareholders (including the right
to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to
applicable law; and
(iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to
the approval of the Company's remaining shareholders and the Company's
board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the
Company's obligations under Cayman Islands law, to provide for claims of
creditors and other requirements of applicable law.
The balance of the Trust Account as of December 28, 2022 was $209,665,978, which
includes the $207,000,000 in funds deposited into the Trust Account at the time
of the Company's initial public offering and $2,665,977 in interest and dividend
income. Net of taxes and up to $100,000 of dissolution expenses, the Company
currently expects the per-share redemption price for the Public Shares will be
approximately $10.124 (as finally determined, the "Redemption Amount"). The
Company anticipates that the last trading day for the Public Shares will be
January 13, 2023. As of January 17, 2023, the Public Shares will be deemed
cancelled and will represent only the right to receive the Redemption Amount.
After January 17, 2023, the Company intends to cease all operations except for
those required to wind up the Company's business.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Due to the holiday celebrating the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. falling
on January 16, 2023, the Redemption Amount will be paid on the next business
day, January 17, 2023, to the beneficial owners of Public Shares held in street
name without any required action on their part. The Redemption Amount will be
paid to record holders of Public Shares after delivery of their Public Shares to
the Company's transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, on or
after January 17, 2023.
There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to
the Company's warrants, which will expire worthless.
The Company expects that the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC will file a Form 25 with
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") to delist its
securities. The Company thereafter expects to file a Form 15 with the SEC to
terminate the registration of its securities under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended.
A copy of the Company's press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is
incorporated herein by reference.
