On March 21, 2023, Aries I Acquisition Corporation (the "Company") announced that it will not seek an extension of the time to complete an initial business combination and that it will redeem all of its outstanding Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 (the "Public Shares"), effective as of the close of business on March 21, 2023, because the Company will not consummate an initial business combination within the time period required by its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the "Articles").

As stated in the Company's Articles and in the Company's registration statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333- 253806), initially filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on March 3, 2021, if the Company is unable to complete an initial business combination within 24 months (or by March 21, 2023 as set forth in the Articles) of the Company's initial public offering, the Company will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Company's trust account (the "Trust Account"), including interest earned on the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay tax obligations, if any, less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses, divided by the number of the issued and Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders' rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company's remaining shareholders and the Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of the foregoing clauses (ii) and (iii), to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors, and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law.

The per-share redemption price for the Public Shares will be approximately $10.51 (the "Redemption Amount"). The balance of the Trust Account as of March 8, 2023 was approximately $24,057,655. In accordance with the terms of the related trust agreement, the Company expects to retain $100,000 of the interest and dividend income from the Trust Account to pay dissolution expenses.

After the redemption is complete, the Public Shares will be deemed cancelled and will represent only the right to receive the Redemption Amount.

The Redemption Amount will be payable to the holders of the Public Shares upon delivery of their shares or units to the Company's transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. Beneficial owners of Public Shares held in "street name," however, will not need to take any action in order to receive the Redemption Amount.

There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company's warrants, which will expire worthless.

The Company's sponsor has waived its redemption rights with respect to the outstanding founder shares and private placement warrants. After the redemption is complete, the Company shall cease all operations except for those required to wind up the Company's business.

The Company expects that The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC will file a Form 25 with the Commission in order to delist the Company's securities. The Company thereafter expects to file a Form 15 with the Commission to terminate the registration of the Company's securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
