Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On April 21, 2023, Accretion Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) to Accretion Acquisition Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”) in the principal amount of $240,000 in connection with the Charter Amendment (as defined below).

 

The Note bears no interest and is due and payable upon the earlier of (a) the liquidation of the Company and (b) the closing date on which the Company consummates a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (an “Initial Business Combination”). If an Initial Business Combination is not consummated, the Note will not be repaid and all amounts owed thereunder will be forgiven except to the extent that the Company has funds available to it outside of its trust account (the “Trust Account”) established in connection with its initial public offering. The issuance of the Note was exempt pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

The foregoing description of the Note is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Note, a copy of which is attached as Exhibits 10.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 5.03

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

 

As approved by the Company’s stockholders at the special meeting (the “Special Meeting”) of stockholders on April 14, 2023, the Company filed an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) to extend the date (the “Termination Date”) by which the Company has to consummate an Initial Business Combination from April 25, 2023 (the “Original Termination Date”) to July 25, 2023 (the “Charter Extension Date”) and to allow the Company, without another stockholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date to consummate an Initial Business Combination on a monthly basis up to five times by an additional one month each time after the Charter Extension Date, by resolution of the Company’s board of directors, if requested by the Sponsor, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until December 25, 2023, or a total of up to eight months after the Original Termination Date, unless the closing of an Initial Business Combination shall have occurred prior thereto (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”). The stockholders of the Company approved the Extension Amendment Proposal at the Special Meeting and on April 21, 2023, the Company filed the Charter Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State.

 

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 8.01

Other Events

 

Stockholders of the Company holding 15,395,704 shares of the Company’s common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rate portion of the funds in the Trust Account. As a result, approximately $159.0 million (or approximately $10.33 per share) will be removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders.
