Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 30, 2023, Metal Sky Star Acquisition Corporation (the “Company” or “Metal Sky Star”) held its Extraordinary General Meeting (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”) at which the Company’s shareholders approved proposals to (i) amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination to August 5, 2024 and to reduce the amount of the fee to extend such time period (the “Charter Amendment Proposal”) and (ii) amend the Investment Management Trust Agreement dated March 30, 2022 among the Company, Wilmington Trust, National Association (the “Trustee”) and Vstock Transfer LLC (“Vstock”) to reflect the Charter Amendment Proposal.

Following the Extraordinary General Meeting, effective as of October 31, 2023, the Company, the Trustee and Vstock entered into an amendment to the Investment Management Trust Agreement (the “Amendment Agreement”) to change the date on which the Company’s ability to complete a business combination may be extended by up to six (6) additional increments of one-month each until August 5, 2024, subject to the payment into the Trust Account by the Sponsor (or its designees or affiliates) of an amount for each one-month extension equal to the lesser of (i) $50,000 for all remaining public shares and (ii) $0.033 per public share for each remaining Ordinary Share held by a Public Stockholder (the “Monthly Extension Payment”), and which Monthly Extension Payments, if any, shall be added to the Trust Account. A copy of the Amendment Agreement is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

At the Extraordinary General Meeting, the shareholders approved an amendment to Metal Sky Star’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association”) to extend the date by which Metal Sky Star must consummate a business combination (the “Extension”) to August 5, 2024 (the “Extended Date”) and reduce the amount of the fee to extend such time period, by amending the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to delete the existing Section 36.2 thereof and replacing it with the new Section 36.2 in the form set forth in Annex A of the proxy statement. A copy of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, as amended, is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

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

At the Extraordinary General Meeting of Metal Sky Star, which was held on October 30, 2023, each of the proposals described below was approved by the Company’s shareholders of record. The final results for the votes regarding each proposal are set forth in the following tables. Each of the proposals is described in detail in the Company’s Proxy Statement.

Proposal 1:

A proposal to amend Metal Sky Star’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which Metal Sky Star must consummate a business combination to August 5, 2024 and reduce the amount of the fee to extend such time period, by amending the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to delete the existing Section 36.2 thereof and replacing it with the new Section 36.2 in the form set forth in the proxy statement:

	For	Against	Abstain
Charter Amendment Proposal	6,323,599	1,709,300	0

Proposal 2:

A proposal to amend the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated March 30, 2022, by and among the Company, Wilmington Trust, N.A., as trustee, and Vstock Transfer LLC, to reflect the Charter Amendment Proposal:

	For	Against	Abstain
Trust Agreement Proposal	6,323,599	1,709,300	0

Because there were sufficient votes to approve Proposal 1 and Proposal 2, the “Adjournment Proposal” described in the proxy statement was not voted on at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

In connection with the vote to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, a total of 2,412,260 shares were presented for redemption at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Exclusion of Table A Articles

1.3

The regulations contained in Table A in the First Schedule of the Law and any other regulations contained in any statute or subordinate legislation are expressly excluded and do not apply to the Company.

Shares

Power to issue Shares and options, with or without special rights

2.1

Subject to the provisions of the Law and these Articles and, where applicable, the rules of the Designated Stock Exchange and/or any competent regulatory authority, and without prejudice to any rights attached to any existing Shares, the directors have general and unconditional authority to allot (with or without confirming rights of renunciation), issue, grant options over or otherwise deal with any unissued Shares of the Company to such persons, at such times and on such terms and conditions as they may decide. No Share may be issued at a discount except in accordance with the provisions of the Law.

2.2

Without limitation to the preceding Article, the directors may so deal with the unissued Shares of the Company:

(a)

either at a premium or at par;

(b)

with or without preferred, deferred or other special rights or restrictions whether in regard to dividend, voting, return of capital or otherwise.

Notwithstanding the above, following an IPO and prior to a Business Combination, the Company may not issue additional Shares that would entitle the holders thereof to (i) receive funds from the Trust Account or (ii) vote on any Business Combination.

2.3

The Company may issue rights, options, warrants or convertible securities or securities of similar nature conferring the right upon the holders thereof to subscribe for, purchase or receive any class of Shares or other securities in the Company at such times and on such terms and conditions as the directors may decide.

The Company may issue units of securities in the Company, which may be comprised of Shares, rights, options, warrants or convertible securities or securities of similar nature conferring the right upon the holders thereof to subscribe for, purchase or receive any class of Shares or other securities in the Company, on such terms and conditions as the directors may decide. The securities comprising any such units which are issued pursuant to the IPO can only be traded separately from one another on the 52nd day following the date of the prospectus relating to the IPO unless the managing Underwriter determines that an earlier date is acceptable, subject to the Company having filed a current report on Form 8-K containing an audited balance sheet reflecting the Company’s receipt of the gross proceeds of the IPO with the SEC and a press release announcing when such separate trading will begin. Prior to such date, the units can be traded, but the securities comprising such units cannot be traded separately from one another.

2.5

Each Share in the Company confers upon the Member:

(a)

subject to Article 34, the right to one vote at a meeting of the Members of the Company or on any resolution of Members;

(b)

the right to be redeemed on an Automatic Redemption Event in accordance with Article 36.2 or pursuant to either a Tender Redemption Offer or Redemption Offer in accordance with Article 36.5 or pursuant to an Amendment Redemption Event in accordance with Article 36.11;

(c)

a pro rata right in any dividend paid by the Company; and

(d)

subject to satisfaction of and compliance with Article 36, a pro rata right in the distribution of the surplus assets of the Company on its liquidation provided that in the event that the Company enters liquidation prior to or without having consummated a Business Combination then, in such circumstances, in the event any surplus assets (Residual Assets) of the Company remain following the Company having complied with its applicable obligations to redeem Public Shares and distribute the funds held in the Trust Account in respect of such redemptions pursuant to Article 36, the Public Shares shall not have any right to receive any share of those Residual Assets which are held outside the Trust Account and such Residual Assets shall be distributed (on a pro rata basis) only in respect of those Shares that are not Public Shares.

Power to issue fractions of a Share

2.6

Subject to the Law, the Company may, but shall not otherwise be obliged to, issue fractions of a Share of any class or round up or down fractional holdings of Shares to its nearest whole number. A fraction of a Share shall be subject to and carry the corresponding fraction of liabilities (whether with respect to calls or otherwise), limitations, preferences, privileges, qualifications, restrictions, rights and other attributes of a Share of that class of Shares.

Power to pay commissions and brokerage fees

2.7

The Company may, in so far as the Law permits, pay a commission to any person in consideration of that person:

(a)

subscribing or agreeing to subscribe, whether absolutely or conditionally; or

(b)

procuring or agreeing to procure subscriptions, whether absolute or conditional

for any Shares in the Company. That commission may be satisfied by the payment of cash or the allotment of Fully Paid or partly-paid Shares or partly in one way and partly in another.

2.8

The Company may employ a broker in the issue of its capital and pay him any proper commission or brokerage.

Trusts not recognised

2.9

Except as required by Applicable Law:

(a)

the Company shall not be bound by or compelled to recognise in any way (even when notified) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any Share, or (except only as is otherwise provided by the Articles) any other rights in respect of any Share other than an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the holder; and

(b)

no person other than the Member shall be recognised by the Company as having any right in a Share.

Power to vary class rights

2.10

If the share capital is divided into different classes of Shares then, unless the terms on which a class of Shares was issued state otherwise, the rights attaching to a class of Shares may only be varied if one of the following applies:

(a)

the Members holding two thirds of the issued Shares of that class consent in writing to the variation; or

(b)

the variation is made with the sanction of a Special Resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the Members holding the issued Shares of that class.

2.11

For the purpose of paragraph (b) of the preceding Article, all the provisions of these Articles relating to general meetings apply, mutatis mutandis, to every such separate meeting except that:

(a)

the necessary quorum shall be one or more persons holding, or representing by proxy, not less than one third of the issued Shares of the class; and

(b)

any Member holding issued Shares of the class, present in person or by proxy or, in the case of a corporate Member, by its duly authorised representative, may demand a poll.

2.12

Notwithstanding Article 2.10, unless the proposed variation is for the purposes of approving, or in conjunction with, the consummation of a Business Combination, prior to a Business Combination but subject always to the limitations set out in Article 34 in respect of amendments to the Memorandum and Articles, the rights attached to the Shares as specified in Article 2.5 may only, whether or not the Company is being wound up, be varied by a Special Resolution, and any such variation that has to be approved under this Article shall also be subject to compliance with Article 36.11.

Effect of new Share issue on existing class rights

2.13

Unless the terms on which a class of Shares was issued state otherwise, the rights conferred on the Member holding Shares of any class shall not be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further Shares ranking pari passu with the existing Shares of that class.

Capital contributions without issue of further Shares

2.14

With the consent of a Member, the directors may accept a voluntary contribution to the capital of the Company from that Member without issuing Shares in consideration for that contribution. In that event, the contribution shall be dealt with in the following manner:

(a)

It shall be treated as if it were a share premium.

(b)

Unless the Member agrees otherwise:

(i)

if the Member holds Shares in a single class of Shares - it shall be credited to the share premium account for that class of Shares;

(ii)

if the Member holds Shares of more than one class - it shall be credited rateably to the share premium accounts for those classes of Shares (in the proportion that the sum of the issue prices for each class of Shares that the Member holds bears to the total issue prices for all classes of Shares that the Member holds).

(c)

It shall be subject to the provisions of the Law and these Articles applicable to share premiums.

No bearer Shares or warrants

2.15

The Company shall not issue Shares or warrants to bearers.

2.18

The Company shall be entered in the Register as the holder of the Treasury Shares. However:

(a)

the Company shall not be treated as a member for any purpose and shall not exercise any right in respect of the Treasury Shares, and any purported exercise of such a right shall be void;

(b)

a Treasury Share shall not be voted, directly or indirectly, at any meeting of the Company and shall not be counted in determining the total number of issued shares at any given time, whether for the purposes of these Articles or the Law.

2.19

Nothing in the preceding Article prevents an allotment of Shares as fully paid bonus shares in respect of a Treasury Share and Shares allotted as fully paid bonus shares in respect of a Treasury Share shall be treated as Treasury Shares.

(b)

upon payment of such reasonable sum as the directors may determine for every certificate after the first, to several certificates each for one or more of that Member’s Shares.

4.2

Every certificate shall specify the number, class and distinguishing numbers (if any) of the Shares to which it relates and whether they are Fully Paid or partly paid up. A certificate may be executed under seal or executed in such other manner as the directors determine.

4.3

Every certificate shall bear legends required under the Applicable Laws.

4.4

The Company shall not be bound to issue more than one certificate for Shares held jointly by several persons and delivery of a certificate for a Share to one joint holder shall be a sufficient delivery to all of them.

(a)

either alone or jointly with any other person, whether or not that other person is a Member; and

whether or not those moneys are presently payable.

5.2

At any time the directors may declare any Share to be wholly or partly exempt from the provisions of this Article.

Company may sell Shares to satisfy lien

5.3

The Company may sell any Shares over which it has a lien if all of the following conditions are met:

(a)

the sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable;

(b)

the Company gives notice to the Member holding the Share (or to the person entitled to it in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of that Member) demanding payment and stating that if the notice is not complied with the Shares may be sold; and

(c)

that sum is not paid within 14 Clear Days after that notice is deemed to be given under these Articles.

To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, the directors shall incur no personal liability to the Member concerned in respect of the sale.

Authority to execute instrument of transfer

5.6

To give effect to a sale, the directors may authorise any person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Shares sold to, or in accordance with the directions of, the purchaser.

Consequences of sale of Shares to satisfy lien

5.7

On sale pursuant to the preceding Articles:

(a)

the name of the Member concerned shall be removed from the Register of Members as the holder of those Shares; and

(b)

that person shall deliver to the Company for cancellation the certificate for those Shares.

Despite this, that person shall remain liable to the Company for all monies which, at the date of sale, were presently payable by him to the Company in respect of those Shares. That person shall also be liable to pay interest on those monies from the date of sale until payment at the rate at which interest was payable before that sale or, failing that, at the Default Rate. The directors may waive payment wholly or in part or enforce payment without any allowance for the value of the Shares at the time of sale or for any consideration received on their disposal.

Application of proceeds of sale

5.8

The net proceeds of the sale, after payment of the costs, shall be applied in payment of so much of the sum for which the lien exists as is presently payable. Any residue shall be paid to the person whose Shares have been sold:

(a)

if no certificate for the Shares was issued, at the date of the sale; or

(b)

if a certificate for the Shares was issued, upon surrender to the Company of that certificate for cancellation

but, in either case, subject to the Company retaining a like lien for all sums not presently payable as existed on the Shares before the sale.

Calls on Shares and forfeiture

Power to make calls and effect of calls

6.1

Subject to the terms of allotment, the directors may make calls on the Members in respect of any moneys unpaid on their Shares including any premium. The call may provide for payment to be by instalments.

6.2

Before receipt by the Company of any sum due under a call, that call may be revoked in whole or in part and payment of a call may be postponed in whole or in part. Where a call is to be paid in instalments, the Company may revoke the call in respect of all or any remaining instalments in whole or in part and may postpone payment of all or any of the remaining instalments in whole or in part.

6.3

A Member on whom a call is made shall remain liable for that call notwithstanding the subsequent transfer of the Shares in respect of which the call was made. A person shall not be liable for calls made after such person is no longer registered as Member in respect of those Shares.

The directors may waive payment of the interest wholly or in part.

Deemed calls

(b)

a warning that if the notice is not complied with the Shares in respect of which the call is made will be liable to be forfeited.

Forfeiture or surrender of Shares

6.12

If the notice under the preceding Article is not complied with, the directors may, before the payment required by the notice has been received, resolve that any Share the subject of that notice be forfeited. The forfeiture shall include all dividends or other moneys payable in respect of the forfeited Share and not paid before the forfeiture. Despite the foregoing, the directors may determine that any Share the subject of that notice be accepted by the Company as surrendered by the Member holding that Share in lieu of forfeiture.

6.13

The directors may accept the surrender for no consideration of any Fully Paid Share.

Disposal of forfeited or surrendered Share and power to cancel forfeiture or surrender

6.14

A forfeited or surrendered Share may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the directors determine either to the former Member who held that Share or to any other person. The forfeiture or surrender may be cancelled on such terms as the directors think fit at any time before a sale, re-allotment or other disposition. Where, for the purposes of its disposal, a forfeited or surrendered Share is to be transferred to any person, the directors may authorise some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Share to the transferee.

Effect of forfeiture or surrender on former Member

6.15

On forfeiture or surrender:

(a)

the name of the Member concerned shall be removed from the Register of Members as the holder of those Shares and that person shall cease to be a Member in respect of those Shares; and

all expenses; and

(b)

interest from the date of forfeiture or surrender until payment:

(i)

at the rate of which interest was payable on those moneys before forfeiture; or

if no interest was so payable, at the Default Rate.

The directors, however, may waive payment wholly or in part.

that the person making the declaration is a director or Secretary of the Company, and

(b)

that the particular Shares have been forfeited or surrendered on a particular date.

Sale of forfeited or surrendered Shares

12.5

Adjournment

12.7

The chairman may at any time adjourn a meeting with the consent of the Members constituting a quorum. The chairman must adjourn the meeting if so directed by the meeting. No business, however, can be transacted at an adjourned meeting other than business which might properly have been transacted at the original meeting.

12.8

Should a meeting be adjourned for more than twenty Clear Days, whether because of a lack of quorum or otherwise, Members shall be given at least five Clear Days’ notice of the date, time and place of the adjourned meeting and the general nature of the business to be transacted. Otherwise it shall not be necessary to give any notice of the adjournment.

Method of voting

12.9

A resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a poll.

Taking of a poll

12.10

A poll demanded on the question of adjournment shall be taken immediately.

12.11

A poll demanded on any other question shall be taken either immediately or at an adjourned meeting at such time and place as the chairman directs, not being more than 30 Clear Days after the poll was demanded.

12.12

The demand for a poll shall not prevent the meeting continuing to transact any business other than the question on which the poll was demanded.

12.13

A poll shall be taken in such manner as the chairman directs. He may appoint scrutineers (who need not be Members) and fix a place and time for declaring the result of the poll. If, through the aid of technology, the meeting is held in more than place, the chairman may appoint scrutineers in more than place; but if he considers that the poll cannot be effectively monitored at that meeting, the chairman shall adjourn the holding of the poll to a date, place and time when that can occur.

Chairman’s casting vote

12.14

If the votes on a resolution are equal, the chairman may if he wishes exercise a casting vote.

Amendments to resolutions

12.15

An Ordinary Resolution to be proposed at a general meeting may be amended by Ordinary Resolution if:

(a)

not less than 48 hours before the meeting is to take place (or such later time as the chairman of the meeting may determine), notice of the proposed amendment is given to the Company in writing by a Member entitled to vote at that meeting; and

(b)

the proposed amendment does not, in the reasonable opinion of the chairman of the meeting, materially alter the scope of the resolution.

12.16

A Special Resolution to be proposed at a general meeting may be amended by Ordinary Resolution, if:

(a)

the chairman of the meeting proposes the amendment at the general meeting at which the resolution is to be proposed, and

(b)

the amendment does not go beyond what the chairman considers is necessary to correct a grammatical or other non-substantive error in the resolution.

12.17

If the chairman of the meeting, acting in good faith, wrongly decides that an amendment to a resolution is out of order, the chairman’s error does not invalidate the vote on that resolution.

Written resolutions

12.18

Members may pass a resolution in writing without holding a meeting if the following conditions are met:

(a)

all Members entitled so to vote are given notice of the resolution as if the same were being proposed at a meeting of Members;

Such written resolution shall be as effective as if it had been passed at a meeting of the Members entitled to vote duly convened and held.

12.19

If a written resolution is described as a Special Resolution or as an Ordinary Resolution, it has effect accordingly.

12.20

The directors may determine the manner in which written resolutions shall be put to Members. In particular, they may provide, in the form of any written resolution, for each Member to indicate, out of the number of votes the Member would have been entitled to cast at a meeting to consider the resolution, how many votes he wishes to cast in favour of the resolution and how many against the resolution or to be treated as abstentions. The result of any such written resolution shall be determined on the same basis as on a poll.

Sole-member company

12.21

If the Company has only one Member, and the Member records in writing his decision on a question, that record shall constitute both the passing of a resolution and the minute of it.

Each person so authorised under the provisions of this Article shall be deemed to have been duly authorised without further evidence of the facts and be entitled to exercise the same rights and powers on behalf of the clearing house (or its nominee(s)) as if such person was the registered holder of such Shares held by the clearing house (or its nominee(s)).

where two or more shareholders die in circumstances rendering it uncertain who was the last to die, a younger shareholder is deemed to have survived an older shareholder;

(b)

(i)

the expression personal representatives of the last shareholder means:

(B)

after such grant of probate has been obtained, only such of those executors who have proved that will;

If a written resolution is signed personally by the appointing director, it need not also be signed by his alternate or proxy.

If the share capital is divided into different classes, the directors may pay dividends on Shares which confer deferred or non-preferred rights with regard to dividends as well as on Shares which confer preferential rights with regard to dividends but no dividend shall be paid on Shares carrying deferred or non-preferred rights if, at the time of payment, any preferential dividend is in arrears.

The directors may also pay, at intervals settled by them, any dividend payable at a fixed rate if it appears to them that there are sufficient funds of the Company lawfully available for distribution to justify the payment.

(c)

Apportionment of dividends

Except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to Shares, all dividends shall be declared and paid according to the amounts paid up on the Shares on which the dividend is paid.

Power to pay other than in cash

to the registered address of the Joint Holder of the Share who is named first on the Register of Members or to the registered address of the deceased or bankrupt holder, as the case may be; or

Dividends unable to be paid or unclaimed

25.13

If a dividend cannot be paid to a Member or remains unclaimed within six weeks after it was declared or both, the directors may pay it into a separate account in the Company’s name.

any part of the Company’s profits not required for paying any preferential dividend (whether or not those profits are available for distribution); or

(b)

(a)

by paying up the amounts unpaid on that Member’s Shares;

(b)

by issuing Fully Paid Shares, debentures or other securities of the Company to that Member or as that Member directs.

The Company will file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to consummating the Business Combination which contain substantially the same financial and other information about the Business Combination and the redemption rights as would be required in a proxy solicitation pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act. In accordance with the Exchange Act, the Tender Redemption Offer will remain open for a minimum of 20 Business Days and the Company will not be permitted to consummate its Business Combination until the expiry of such period. If in the event a Member holding Public Shares accepts the Tender Redemption Offer and the Company has not otherwise withdrawn the tender offer, the Company shall, promptly after the consummation of the Business Combination, pay such redeeming Member, on a pro rata basis, cash equal to the applicable Per-Share Redemption Price.

(b)

In the event that a Business Combination is consummated by the Company in connection with a shareholder vote held pursuant to Article 36.4 in accordance with a proxy solicitation pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act (the Redemption Offer), the Company will, subject as provided below, offer to redeem the Public Shares, other than those Shares held by the Initial Shareholders or their affiliates or the directors or officers of the Company, regardless of whether such shares are voted for or against the Business Combination, for cash, on a pro rata basis, at a per-share amount equal to the applicable Per-Share Redemption Price, provided however that: (i) the Company shall not redeem those Shares held by the Initial Shareholders or their affiliates or the directors or officers of the Company pursuant to such Redemption Offer, whether or not such holders accept such Redemption Offer; and (ii) any other redeeming Member who either individually or together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a “group” (as such term is defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act) shall not be permitted to redeem, without the consent of the directors, more than fifteen percent (15%) of the total Public Shares sold in the IPO.

(c)

The Company shall only consummate the Tender Redemption Offer or the Redemption Offer under Article 36.5(a) or 36.5(b) or an Amendment Redemption Event under Article 36.11 if:

(i)

following such redemptions, the Company would have net tangible assets of at least US$5,000,001 immediately prior to or upon consummation of a Business Combination after payment of underwriting fees and commissions; or

(ii)

the Company’s securities issued in the IPO (as described in Article 2.4) qualify, are registered or are approved for listing or registration upon notice of issuance on a Designated Stock Exchange, as required under SEC Rule 3a51-1, in order to avoid being deemed a penny stock under such rule.

36.6

A holder of Public Shares shall be entitled to receive distributions from the Trust Account only in the event of an Automatic Redemption Event, an Amendment Redemption Event or in the event he accepts a Tender Redemption Offer or a Redemption Offer where the Business Combination is consummated. In no other circumstances shall a holder of Public Shares have any right or interest of any kind in or to the Trust Account.

36.7

Prior to a Business Combination, the Company will not issue any securities (other than Public Shares) that would entitle the holder thereof to (i) receive funds from the Trust Account; or (ii) vote on any Business Combination.

36.8

The Business Combination must be approved by a majority of the Independent Directors. In the event the Company enters into a Business Combination with a company that is affiliated with the Sponsor or any of the directors or officers of the Company, the Company will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or independent accounting firm that such a Business Combination is fair to the holders of the Public Shares from a financial point of view.

36.9

The Company will not effectuate a Business Combination with another “blank cheque” company or a similar company with nominal operations.

36.10

Immediately after the Company’s IPO, that amount of the proceeds received by the Company in or in connection with the IPO (including proceeds of any exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option and any proceeds from the simultaneous private placement of like units comprising like securities to those included in the IPO by the Company) as is described in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC (the Registration Statement) at the time it goes effective as shall be deposited in the Trust Account shall be so deposited and thereafter held in the Trust Account until released in the event of a Business Combination or otherwise in accordance with this Article 36. Neither the Company nor any officer, director or employee of the Company will disburse any of the proceeds held in the Trust Account until the earlier of (i) a Business Combination, or (ii) an Automatic Redemption Event or in payment of the acquisition price for any shares which the Company elects to purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire in accordance with this Article 36, in each case in accordance with the trust agreement governing the Trust Account; provided that interest earned on the Trust Account (as described in the Registration Statement) may be released from time to time to the Company to pay the Company’s tax obligations and up to US$50,000 of such interest may also be released from the Trust Account to pay any liquidation expenses of the Company if applicable.

36.11

In the event the directors of the Company propose any amendment to Article 36 or to any of the other rights of the Shares as set out at Article 2.5 prior to, but not for the purposes of approving or in conjunction with the consummation of, a Business Combination that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligations as described in this Article 36 to pay or to offer to pay the Per-Share Redemption Price to any holder of the Public Shares (an Amendment) and such Amendment is duly approved by a Special Resolution of the Members (an Approved Amendment), the Company will offer to redeem the Public Shares of any Member for cash, on a pro rata basis, at a per-share amount equal to the applicable Per-Share Redemption Price (an Amendment Redemption Event), provided however that the Company shall not redeem those Shares held by the Initial Shareholders or their affiliates or the directors or officers of the Company pursuant to such offer, whether or not such holders accept such offer.

Certain Tax Filings

37.1

Each Tax Filing Authorised Person and any such other person, acting alone, as any director shall designate from time to time, are authorised to file tax forms SS-4, W-8 BEN, W-8 IMY, W-9, 8832 and 2553 and such other similar tax forms as are customary to file with any US state or federal governmental authorities or foreign governmental authorities in connection with the formation, activities and/or elections of the Company and such other tax forms as may be approved from time to time by any director or officer of the Company. The Company further ratifies and approves any such filing made by any Tax Filing Authorised Person or such other person prior to the date of the Articles.

Business Opportunities

38.1

In recognition and anticipation of the facts that: (a) directors, managers, officers, members, partners, managing members, employees and/or agents of one or more members of the Sponsor Group (each of the foregoing, a Sponsor Group Related Person) may serve as directors and/or officers of the Company; and (b) the Sponsor Group engages, and may continue to engage in the same or similar activities or related lines of business as those in which the Company, directly or indirectly, may engage and/or other business activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Company, directly or indirectly, may engage, the provisions under this heading “Business Opportunities” are set forth to regulate and define the conduct of certain affairs of the Company as they may involve the Members and the Sponsor Group Related Persons, and the powers, rights, duties and liabilities of the Company and its officers, directors and Members in connection therewith.

38.2

To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Sponsor Group and the Sponsor Group Related Persons shall have no duty, except and to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Company. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Company renounces any interest or expectancy of the Company in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for either the Sponsor Group or the Sponsor Group Related Persons, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other. Except to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Sponsor Group and the Sponsor Group Related Persons shall have no duty to communicate or offer any such corporate opportunity to the Company and shall not be liable to the Company or its Members for breach of any fiduciary duty as a Member, director and/or officer of the Company solely by reason of the fact that such party pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, himself or herself, directs such corporate opportunity to another person, or does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Company, unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such Sponsor Group Related Person solely in their capacity as an Officer or director of the Company and the opportunity is one the Company is permitted to complete on a reasonable basis.

38.3

Except as provided elsewhere in the Articles, the Company hereby renounces any interest or expectancy of the Company in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for both the Company and the Sponsor Group, about which a director and/or officer of the Company who is also an Sponsor Group Related Person acquires knowledge.

38.4

To the extent a court might hold that the conduct of any activity related to a corporate opportunity that is renounced in this Article to be a breach of duty to the Company or its Members, the Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any and all claims and causes of action that the Company may have for such activities. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the provisions of this Article apply equally to activities conducted in the future and that have been conducted in the past.
