On March 20, 2023, pursuant to the Charter, the Board determined to implement a third Extension to allow additional time for Athena to complete its initial business combination. In connection with the third Extension and pursuant to an unsecured promissory note Athena and the sponsor of Athena, Athena Consumer Acquisition Sponsor LLC (the "Sponsor"), entered into on January 17, 2023, the Board delivered to the Sponsor a written request to draw down $112,691.48 for the third month of the Extension. On March 21, 2023, the Sponsor deposited $112,691.48 into Athena's trust account in connection with the third Extension.
