Home Plate Acquisition Corporation Announces Cancellation of Special Meeting of Stockholders and Liquidation
October 04 2023 - 4:24PM
This press releases amends and restates Home Plate Acquisition
Corporation’s (the “Company” or “Home Plate”) (NASDAQ: HPLT) press
release dated October 3, 2023. Yesterday, the Company announced
that the Company has cancelled its special meeting of stockholders
that was previously scheduled for 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on October
3, 2023, and that, because the Company will not consummate an
initial business combination by October 4, 2023, the time period
required by the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation to consummate a business combination. Promptly as
reasonably possible after October 4, 2023, the Company intends to
dissolve and liquidate in accordance with the provisions of its
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and will redeem
all of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock that were
included in the units issued in its initial public offering (the
“Public Shares”), at what the Company estimates will be a per-share
redemption price of approximately $10.52. The Company has been
informed by Heidmar Inc. (“Heidmar”) that Heidmar intends to
terminate the Business Combination Agreement previously entered
into between Home Plate and Heidmar promptly on or following
October 4, 2023, the time period required by the Company’s Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to consummate a business
combination.
As of the close of business on October 18, 2023, the Public
Shares will be deemed cancelled and will represent only the right
to receive the redemption amount. Record holders as of the close of
business on October 18, 2023 will receive their pro rata portion of
the proceeds of the trust account less dissolution expenses and net
of taxes payable by delivering their Public Shares to Continental
Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent.
Beneficial owners of Public Shares held in “street name,” however,
will not need to take any action in order to receive the redemption
amount. The redemption of the Public Shares is expected to be
completed within ten business days after October 4, 2023.
The Company’s sponsor has agreed to waive its redemption rights
with respect to its outstanding Class A common stock issued prior
to the Company’s initial public offering. There will be no
redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the
Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless.
The Company expects that NASDAQ will file a Form 25 with the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
to delist the Company’s securities. The Company thereafter expects
to file a Form 15 with the Commission to terminate the registration
of its securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.
