**Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws.**

On January 31, 2023, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware an amendment (the "<u>Extension Amendment</u>") to the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination up to six times, each by an additional month, for an aggregate of six additional months (i.e. from February 9, 2023 up to August 9, 2023) or such earlier date as determined by the board of directors.

The Company's stockholders approved the Extension Amendment at a special meeting of stockholders of the Company (the "<u>Special Meeting</u>") on January 31, 2023. The foregoing description of the Extension Amendment is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Extension Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

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

On January 31, 2023, at the Special Meeting, a total of 10,079,383 (or 75.64%) of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock ("Public Shares") and Class B common stock held of record as of December 21, 2022, the record date for the Special Meeting, were present either in person or by proxy, which constituted a quorum. The Company's stockholders voted on the following proposals at the Special Meeting, each of which received sufficient votes (more than 65%) for approval. The final vote tabulation for each proposal is set forth below.

**Proposal 1.** To approve and adopt the Extension Proposal.

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **For** | **Against** | **Abstained** |
| 9468935 | 610437 | 11 |

**Proposal 2.** To approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Extension Proposal.

| 9462006 | 617366 | 11 |

The Company's stockholders approved the Extension Proposal. Although the adjournment proposal would have received sufficient votes to be approved, no motion to adjourn was made because the adjournment of the Special Meeting was determined not to be necessary or appropriate.

In connection with the Special Meeting, stockholders holding 9,149,326 Public Shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares (and did not withdraw their redemption) for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.39 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $95,061,497. Following such redemptions, approximately $14,038,481 was left in trust and 1,343,154 Public Shares remain outstanding.
