On February 8, 2023, World Quantum Growth Acquisition Corp. (the "Company") convened and then adjourned, without conducting any business, its extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the "Meeting"). The Meeting has been adjourned indefinitely.

On February 9, 2023, the Company issued a press release announcing that, because it does not believe it will be able to complete an initial business combination within the time period required by its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the "Articles"), the board unanimously determined it is in the best interest of the Company to liquidate and redeem all of the Company's Class A ordinary shares (the "Public Shares") effective as of February 24, 2023 (the "Mandatory Redemption"). Before deducting taxes payable, if any, and up to $100,000 of interest earned on the funds held in the trust account in accordance with the Articles and the related trust agreement, the estimated per-share redemption price for the Public Shares is expected to be approximately $10.29, based on funds held in the trust account as of February 9, 2023. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distribution with respect to the Company's warrants, which will expire worthless upon completion of liquidation.

*Delisting and Deregistration* 

On February 9, 2023, the Company notified the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") of the Mandatory Redemption and requested that NYSE (i) suspend trading of the Public Shares, redeemable warrants, each exercisable for one Public Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (the "Redeemable Warrants"), and units, each consisting of one Public Share and one-half of one Redeemable Warrant (collectively with the Public Shares and the Redeemable Warrants, the "Securities"), effective before the opening of trading on February 14, 2023, and (ii) file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Form 25 Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration ("Form 25") to delist and deregister the Securities under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Once the Form 25 becomes effective to deregister the Securities under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, the Company intends to file a Form 15 Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration with the SEC, requesting that the Company's reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act be suspended with respect to the Securities.

The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

Such statements may include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the Mandatory Redemption and the expected delisting and deregistration of the Securities.

If the risks materialize or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements.

In addition, forward-looking statements reflect the Company's expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date hereof. The Company anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause the Company's assessments to change.
