On March 1, 2023, Genesis Unicorn Capital Corp. (the “Company”) issued an amended and restated promissory note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of up to $2,000,000 to Genesis Unicorn Capital, LLC (the “Sponsor”), pursuant to which the Sponsor shall loan to the Company up to $2,000,000 to pay, among other things, any extension fees and transaction costs associated with any extensions of time needed for the Company to consummate its business combination. The Note amends and restates the Promissory Note, dated as of October 12, 2022 (the “Original Note”). For the purposes of clarity, the Company and the Sponsor hereby agreed that the certain instrument dated as of October 12, 2022 pursuant to which the Sponsor purported to loan up to $500,000 to the Company was hereby canceled and deemed void ab initio.

 

The Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) February 17, 2024 or (b) the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination.
