Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On
March 2, 2023, African Gold Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders
(the “Extension Meeting”) to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association
(the “Articles Amendment”) to (i) extend the date (the “Termination Date”) by which the Company
has to consummate a business combination from March 2, 2023 (the “Original Termination Date”) to June 2, 2023
(the “Articles Extension Date”) and to allow the Company, without another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the
Termination Date to consummate a business combination on a monthly basis for up to nine times by an additional one month each time after
the Articles Extension Date, by resolution of the Company’s board of directors if requested by African Gold Acquisition Sponsor
LLC, the Company’s sponsor, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable
Termination Date, until March 2, 2024, or a total of up to twelve months after the Original Termination Date, unless the closing of the
Company’s initial business combination shall have occurred prior to such date (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”)
and (ii) remove the limitation that the Company may not redeem public shares to the extent that such redemption would result
in the Company having net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, of less than $5,000,001 (the “Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal”). The shareholders
of the Company approved the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal at the Extension Meeting
and on March 6, 2023, the Company filed the Articles Amendment with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands.
The
foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Articles Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit
3.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On
March 2, 2023, the Company held the Extension Meeting to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Redemption Limitation Amendment
Proposal and a proposal to allow the adjournment of the Extension Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, (i) to permit further
solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Extension Meeting, there were insufficient ordinary
shares of the Company represented (either in person or by proxy) to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Redemption Limitation
Amendment Proposal, (ii) if the shareholders of the Company redeem an amount of shares in connection with the Articles Amendment
such that the Company would not adhere to the continued listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange or (iii) where the board of
directors of the Company has determined it is otherwise necessary (the “Adjournment Proposal”), each as more fully
described in the definitive proxy statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 23, 2023. As
there were sufficient votes to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal and following
redemptions in connection with the Articles Amendment the Company adheres to the continued listing requirements of the New York Stock
Exchange, the Adjournment Proposal was not presented to shareholders.
Holders
of 35,406,637 ordinary shares of the Company held of record as of February 15, 2023, the record date for the Extension Meeting, were present
in person or by proxy at the meeting, representing approximately 68.42% of the voting power of the Company’s ordinary shares as
of the record date for the Extension Meeting, and constituting a quorum for the transaction of business.

voting results for the proposals were as follows:
