Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 28, 2022, Northern Star II Sponsor LLC (the "Sponsor"), the sponsor of Northern Star Investment Corp. II (the "Company"), entered into agreements ("Non-Redemption Agreements") with several unaffiliated third parties in exchange for them agreeing not to redeem an aggregate of 200,000 shares of the Company sold in its initial public offering ("Non-Redeemed Shares") at the special meeting called by the Company (the "Meeting") to approve an extension of time for the Company to consummate an initial business combination (the "Extension Proposal") from January 28, 2023 to July 28, 2023 (the "Extension"). In exchange for the foregoing commitments not to redeem such shares, the Sponsor has agreed to transfer to such investors an aggregate of 50,000 shares of the Company held by the Sponsor immediately following consummation of an initial business combination if they continue to hold such Non-Redeemed Shares through the Meeting. The Non-Redemption Agreements are not expected to increase the likelihood that the Extension Proposal is approved by stockholders but will increase the amount of funds that remain in the Company's trust account following the Meeting. The foregoing summary of the Non-Redemption Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Non-Redemption Agreement previously filed by the Company as Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 22, 2022 and filed on December 23, 2022 and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01. Other Events

On December 29, 2022, the Company again adjourned the Meeting, which was originally scheduled for December 22, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. EDT and subsequently adjourned, to December 30, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. EDT to allow additional time for the Company to engage with its stockholders and solicit redemption reversals.

Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ from the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements and factors that may cause such differences include, without limitation, the risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.
