Agile Growth Corp. Will Redeem Its Publicly Held Class A Ordinary Shares
February 24 2023 - 4:35PM
Business Wire
Agile Growth Corp. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: AGGR), a special
purpose acquisition company, today announced that as of the close
of business on March 13, 2023, the Company’s publicly held Class A
ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 (the “Public Shares”), will be
deemed cancelled and will represent only the right to receive from
the Company’s trust account (“Trust Account”) the per-share
redemption price for the Public Shares to be announced at a later
date (the “Redemption Amount”), 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”). In accordance with the terms of the
related trust agreement, the Company expects to retain interest
income from the Trust Account to pay dissolution expenses, and
taxes, if any.
As stated in the Company’s Articles, if the Company is unable to
complete an initial business combination within 24 months of its
initial public offering (the “IPO”), 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 Trust
Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust
Account and not previously released to the Company, if any (less
taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution
expenses), divided by the number of the then-outstanding 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
Company’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in
each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to
provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of
applicable law.
The Redemption Amount will be payable to the holders of the
Public Shares upon delivery of their shares 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. The Company’s initial
stockholders have waived their redemption rights with respect to
the outstanding Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001, issued
prior to the Company’s initial public offering. After March 12,
2023, the Company will cease all operations except for those
required to wind up the Company’s business.
The Company anticipates that the Public Shares will cease
trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) as of the close of
business on March 10, 2023. The Company expects that Nasdaq will
file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (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 (the “Exchange
Act”).
