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

On January 27, 2023, Noble Rock Acquisition Corp. (the “Registrant”) held an extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders (the “Meeting”), to amend the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Extension Amendment”) to extend the date by which the Registrant has to consummate an initial business combination from February 4, 2023 to September 4, 2023 or such earlier date as determined by the board. The Registrant’s shareholders approved the Extension Amendment at the Meeting. The form of the Extension Amendment is filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and will be filed with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies but is effective upon the approval by shareholders today

The foregoing description of the Extension Amendment is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Extension Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The Registrant’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association will have an effective date of January 27, 2023.

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

At the Meeting, holders of 24,117,283 of the Registrant’s ordinary shares, which represents approximately 80% of the ordinary shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote as of the record date of December 20, 2022, were represented in person or by proxy.

At the Meeting, the Registrant’s shareholders approved a special resolution for the Extension Proposal, (as described above). While the Registrant had solicited proxies in favor of an adjournment proposal, if needed, as there was sufficient shares present and voting in favor of the Extension Amendment, that proposal was not voted on at the Meeting. The Extension Proposal is described in detail in the Registrant’s definitive proxy statement dated January 6, 2023 and was approved at the Meeting. The voting results for the proposal are as followed:

Proposal 1 – The Extension Proposal.

FOR	AGAINST	ABSTAIN
24,079,217	38,066	0

Item 8.01. Other Information

In connection with its solicitation of proxies in connection with the Extension Proposal, the Registrant was required to permits its public shareholders to redeems its ordinary shares. Of the 24,150,000 Class A ordinary shares outstanding with redemption rights, the holders of 21,20,830 Class A ordinary shares elected to redeem their shares at a per share redemption price of approximately $10.14. As a result, approximately $215.4 million will be removed from the Registrant’s Trust account (the “Trust Account”) to pay such holders.
