Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

On December 14, 2022, 26 Capital Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) held a special meeting in lieu of annual meeting of stockholders (the “Meeting”). At the Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination from January 20, 2023 to October 20, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”)). The Company filed the Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on December 19, 2022.

 

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Charter Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

 

At the Meeting, an aggregate of at least 17,187,501 shares of the Company’s common stock, which represents a quorum of the outstanding common stock entitled to vote as of the record date of October 25, 2022, were represented in person or by proxy at the Meeting

 

At the Meeting, the Company’s stockholders voted on the following proposals, each of which was approved:

 

(1) The Extension Amendment Proposal — a proposal to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination from January 20, 2023 to October 20, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the Board). The following is a tabulation of the votes with respect to this proposal, which was approved by the Company’s stockholders:

 

For				Against				Abstain				Broker Non-Votes
	23,558,650				91,051				26,144				0

 

(2) The Director Election Proposal — a proposal to elect two persons as Class I directors (to serve until the annual meeting to be held in 2025 or until a successor is elected and qualified or their earlier resignation or removal). The following is a tabulation of the votes with respect to the election of directors, each of whom was elected by the Company’s stockholders:

 

Name		For				Withhold				Broker Non-Votes
Rafi Ashkenazi			20,333,983				3,341,860				0
J. Randall Waterfield			21,359,729				2,316,115				0

 

In connection with the Meeting, stockholders holding 24,069,772 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “Public Shares”) exercised their right to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s trust account. The trustee of the Company’s trust account is calculating the final amount of the funds to be removed from the Company’s trust account in connection with such redemptions, but the current preliminary calculations are that approximately $242.7 million (approximately $10.08 per Public Share) will be removed from the Company’s trust account to pay such holders and approximately $34.5 million will remain in the Company’s trust account. The Company will amend this Form 8-K (or file a new Form 8-K) should the actual amounts materially differ from the foregoing estimated amounts. Following redemptions, the Company will have 3,430,228 Public Shares outstanding.
