Explanatory Note

 

This Amendment No. 1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K amends Item 8.01 of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 1, 2024 (the “Original Form 8-K”) solely to update the amount for redemption price, the amount for the aggregate redemption amount, the amount of ordinary shares that the Investors (as defined below) agree not to redeem and the amount of common stock of Pubco (as defined below) that the Investors are entitled to receive pursuant to the Non-Redemption Agreements (as defined below). These amounts have been corrected under Item 5.07 and Item 8.01 to this Amendment No. 1. No other changes have been made to the Original Form 8-K.

 

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

 

On January 30, 2024, the Company held the Shareholder Meeting to approve the Proposals, and if necessary, then Adjournment Proposal, which are more fully described in the definitive proxy statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 11, 2024. As there were sufficient votes to approve the Proposals at the Shareholder Meeting, the Adjournment Proposal was not presented to shareholders.

 

Holders of 9,292,000 ordinary shares of the Company held of record as of January 4, 2024, the record date for the Shareholder Meeting, were present in person or by proxy at the meeting, representing approximately 74.25% of the voting power of the Company’s ordinary shares as of the record date for the Shareholder Meeting, and constituting a quorum for the transaction of business.

 

The voting results for the Proposals were as follows:

 

The Extension Amendment Proposal

 

For		Against		Abstain
6,182,470		717,235		0

 

The Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal

 

For		Against		Abstain
6,182,470		717,235		0

 

 

 

 

The Adjornment Proposal

 

For		Against		Abstain
6,182,470		717,235		0

 

In connection with the vote to approve the Proposals, holders of 4,818,568 Public Shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.71 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $51,616,245.86.

 

Item 8.01. Other Events

 

In connection with the Company’s Shareholder Meeting to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Company and its Sponsor entered into non-redemption agreements (the “Non-Redemption Agreements”) on substantially the same terms with several unaffiliated third parties who are also Mars’ existing shareholders (the “Investors”), pursuant to which such Investors agreed not to redeem an aggregate of 1,813,380 ordinary shares of the Company in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal. In exchange for the foregoing commitments not to redeem such ordinary shares of the Company, Mars and the Sponsor will agree to cause ScanTech AI Systems Inc., the surviving entity of the initial business combination (“Pubco”), to issue to Investors an aggregate of 362,676 common stock of Pubco following the consummation of the initial business combination.

 

The foregoing summary of the Non-Redemption Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Non-Redemption Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 on the Current Report on Form 8-K, dated January 24, 2024.
