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

 

On November 15, 2022, Aequi 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 (the “Charter Amendment”) to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination (the “Initial Business Combination”) from November 24, 2022 to August 24, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company). On November 15, 2022, the Company filed a copy of the Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. A copy of the Charter Amendment is attached as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

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

 

At the Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved the Charter Amendment extending the date by which the Company must consummate the Initial Business Combination from November 24, 2022 to August 24, 2023 (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”).

 

The final voting results for the Extension Amendment Proposal were as follows:

 

For		Against		Abstain
19,768,103		3,575,625		496,341

 

In connection with the Meeting, stockholders holding 19,410,956 shares of 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 “Trust Account”). As a result, approximately $195.5 million (approximately $10.07 per public share) will be removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders and approximately $36.1 million will remain in the Trust Account. Following redemptions, the Company will have 3,589,044 public shares outstanding.
