Welsbach Technology Metals Acquisition Corp. Announces Extension to Business Combination Deadline; Working Capital Loan from Sponsor
August 01 2023 - 4:32PM
Welsbach Technology Metals Acquisition Corp. (the
“
Company”), a blank check company formed for the
purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition,
share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with
one or more businesses (a “
Business Combination”),
announced today that it has approved an extension of the time
period to consummate a Business Combination, in accordance with
Article G of the Company’s amended and restated certificate of
incorporation, to and including August 30, 2023.
In connection therewith, the Company has also
approved the issuance and sale, to Welsbach Acquisition Holdings
LLC (the “Sponsor”), of a non-interest bearing,
unsecured promissory note equal to $125,000 (the
“Proceeds”) that will not be repaid in the event
that the Company is unable to close a business combination unless
there are funds available outside the trust account to do so. Such
note would either be paid upon consummation of the initial business
combination out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to
the Company or, at the Sponsor’s discretion, converted, in full or
in part, upon consummation of our business combination into
additional private units at a price of $10.00 per unit. The Company
confirms that such Proceeds were placed on deposit in the Company’s
Trust Account. As such, in accordance with Article G of the
Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the
Company’s time period to consummate a Business Combination has been
extended to and including August 30, 2023.
In addition, the Sponsor has made an initial
working capital loan to the Company, in the amount of $84,000
concurrently with the deposit of the Proceeds. In connection with
the extension process, the Company’s independent directors were
informed that certain amounts of restricted cash had been used to
make payments to certain vendors for services provided to the
Company. The proceeds of the working capital loan are sufficient to
replenish the Company’s restricted cash level as of the date
hereof.
