The Extension Proxy Statement was mailed on or about March 31, 2023 to the Company’s stockholders of record as of March 24, 2023. In connection with the intended adjournment of the Extension Meeting, the Company is extending the deadline for holders of its shares of Class A common stock to exercise their right to redeem their shares of Class A common stock for their pro rata portions of the funds available in the Company’s trust account (the “Trust Account”) to 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on April 19, 2023 (two business days before the adjourned Extension Meeting is to be reconvened). Any request for redemption, once made by a public stockholder, may not be withdrawn once submitted to the Company unless the Company’s board of directors determines (in its sole discretion) to permit the withdrawal of such redemption request (which they may do in whole or in part).
