An aggregate of 13,365,174 shares of the Company’s common stock, or 80.2% of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote as of the record date of February 22, 2023, were represented in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting.

 

The following is a brief description of the final voting results for each of the proposals submitted to a vote at the Special Meeting:

 

Proposal 1 – The Extension Proposal

 

Stockholders approved the proposal to amend the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to extend the date by which the Company must (1) consummate a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination (an “initial business combination”), (2) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete such initial business combination, and (3) redeem all of the shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) included as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering (the “Public Shares”) from March 25, 2023 to September 25, 2023 (the “Extension Proposal”).

 

The final voting results for the Extension Proposal were as follows:

An adjournment of the Special Meeting was not necessary.

Charter Amendment

 

On March 23, 2023, the Company filed an amendment to its Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Charter Amendment”) to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination to from March 25, 2023 to September 25, 2023.

 

The foregoing description of the Charter Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Charter Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Redemptions and Note

 

In connection with approval of the Extension Proposal, the holders of 7,744,085 shares of common stock of the Company properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.17 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $78,770,623. As a result, approximately $78,770,623 will be removed from the Company’s trust account to pay such holders. Following redemptions, the Company will have 8,917,715 shares of common stock outstanding.

 

Also in connection with the approval of the Extension Proposal, Newbury Street Acquisition Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), agreed to contribute to the Company as a note (i) the lesser of (a) an aggregate of $600,000 or (b) $0.04 for each Public Share on a monthly basis that is not redeemed in connection with the Extension Amendment for the portion of the Extension ending on June 23, 2023 (the “Initial Contribution”); plus, (ii) an aggregate of $200,000 per month (commencing on June 23, 2023 and on the 23rd day of each subsequent month) until September 25, 2023 (each, an “Extension Period”), or portion thereof, that is needed to complete an initial business combination, which amount will be deposited into the trust account.

 

On March 22, 2023, the Company amended and restated the promissory note dated November 23, 2020 (the “Amended Promissory Note”) to increase the principal amount of up to $900,000 to up to $2,100,000, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan to the Company up to such amount.

 

On March 24, 2023, the Company deposited the Initial Contribution and will deposit an aggregate of $200,000 per month during each Extension Period, or portion thereof, that is needed to complete an initial business combination, which amount will be deposited into the trust account.

 

The Amended Promissory Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the initial business combination or (b) the date of the liquidation of the Company.

 

The issuance of the Amended Promissory Note was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended Promissory Note, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporate herein by reference.
