Item 8.01. Other Events.
As a result of the Extension Proposal not having been approved at the Special
Meeting, the Corporation will not be able consummate an initial business
combination by March 19, 2023, pursuant to the Corporation's Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Corporation 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 shares of
the Corporation's Class A Common Stock, 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 (which interest shall be
less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses),
divided by the number of then outstanding shares of the Class A Common Stock,
which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders' rights as
stockholders (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 holders of the Corporation's Class B common stock
and the Corporation's Board of Directors, liquidate and dissolve.
Based on the balance of the Corporation's trust account as of March 16, 2023,
which was $391,919,051.81, after retaining interest earned on the funds
deposited in the trust account to pay $100,000 of dissolution expenses, the
per-share redemption price for the shares of the Class A Common Stock is
expected to be approximately $10.18 (the "Redemption Amount"). All other costs
and expenses associated with implementing the Corporation's plan of dissolution
will be funded from proceeds held outside of the trust account. The Corporation
anticipates that (i) its shares of the Class A Common Stock, as well as its
publicly traded units and warrants, will cease trading as of the close of
business on March 27, 2023 and (ii) the Redemption Amount will be paid on March
29, 2023, to holders of the shares of the of the Class A Common Stock
outstanding at the close of business on March 28, 2023, without any required
action on their part, at which point such shares shall be deemed canceled and
will represent only the right to receive the Redemption Amount. Following such
redemption, the shares of the Class A Common Stock will no longer be outstanding
and the Corporation's warrants will expire in accordance with their terms upon
the liquidation of the Corporation. Beneficial owners of the shares of the Class
A Common Stock 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 shares of the Class A Common Stock will need to present their
respective shares of the Class A Common Stock to the Corporation's transfer
agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, to receive their pro rata
portion of the Redemption Amount. The Corporation has been advised that The
Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") will file a Form 25 with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") to delist the Corporation's
securities. Thereafter, the Corporation will file a Form 15 with the SEC to
terminate the registration of its securities under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended.
