Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Election of Director
On April 28, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") appointed
Richard Kim, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, to serve
as a director.
Resignation of Directors and Officers
On April 28, 2023, the Company also received notice of the resignations of four
members of the Board: Ellen Richey, Evan Marwell, Kate Cassino and Christopher
Wendel, and the resignation of Sam Wen as the Chief Technology Officer of the
Company, and on April 30, 2023 the Company received notice of the conditional
resignation (all resignations in this Item 5.02 collectively, the
"Resignations") of Joseph Saunders from (i) the Board and (ii) as Chief
Executive Officer of the Company. The Resignations will be effective as of the
Redemption Date. The Resignations were not due to any disagreement with the
Company on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies or
practices.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
The Company today announced that it will redeem (the "Redemption") all of its
outstanding Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 (the "Public Shares"), on
or about May 12, 2023 (the "Redemption Date"), 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 Articles, if the Company is unable to complete an
initial business combination within the time period required, 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 Company's trust account (the "Trust Account"),
including interest earned on the Trust Account and not previously released to
the Company to pay tax obligations, if any, less up to $100,000 of interest to
pay dissolution expenses, divided by the number of the issued and Public Shares,
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 Members (as defined in the
Articles) and the Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of the
foregoing clauses (ii) and (iii), to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to
provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other
requirements of applicable law.
The per-share redemption price for the Public Shares will be approximately
$10.59 (the "Redemption Amount"). The balance of the Trust Account as of May 1,
2023 was approximately $212,140,312.06. In accordance with the terms of the
related trust agreement, the Company expects to retain $100,000 of the interest
and dividend income from the Trust Account to pay dissolution expenses.
As of the close of business on May 12, 2023, the Public Shares will be deemed
cancelled and will represent only the right to receive the Redemption Amount.
Beneficial owners of Public Shares held in "street name," will not need to take
any action in order to receive their pro rata portion of the Redemption Amount.
Holders of registered Public Shares will need to present their respective share
certificates to the Company's transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust
Company, to receive their pro rata portion of the Redemption Amount.
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 Commission in order to delist the Company's securities. The Company
thereafter expects to file a Form 15 with the Commission to terminate the
registration of the Company's securities under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended.
