EG Acquisition Corp. Announces Update on Business Combination and Annual Meeting
- None.
- None.
In light of the foregoing, the Company also announced today that its previously announced annual meeting (the “Annual Meeting”), for the purpose of considering and voting on, among other proposals, a proposal to extend the date (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”) by which it must consummate an initial business combination, will be postponed from 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time on December 27, 2023 to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on December 27, 2023 (the “Postponement”).
The record date for determining the Company stockholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting remains the close of business on December 4, 2023 (the “Record Date”). Stockholders as of the Record Date can vote, even if they have subsequently sold their shares. Stockholders who have previously submitted their proxies or otherwise voted and who do not want to change their vote need not take any action. Stockholders who have not yet done so are encouraged to vote as soon as possible.
As a result of the Postponement, the previously disclosed deadline of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time December 22, 2023 for delivery of redemption requests from the Company’s stockholders to the Company’s transfer agent has been extended to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on December 27, 2023. Stockholders who wish to withdraw their previously submitted redemption requests may ask to do so up to the postponed Annual Meeting by requesting that the Company’s transfer agent return such shares by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on December 27, 2023. Stockholders who do not wish to withdraw their previously submitted redemption requests (either in connection with the Special Meeting or the upcoming Annual Meeting) need not take any further action. If any stockholder previously tendered its EG shares for redemption prior to and in connection with the Special Meeting held on December 18, 2023, such stockholder’s shares will automatically be deemed to have been tendered for redemption in connection with the Annual Meeting, and no further action will be required for you to redeem your shares in connection with the Annual Meeting. Stockholders who elect to redeem their shares solely in connection with the Annual Meeting (and did not previously elect to redeem their shares in connection with the Special Meeting held on December 18, 2023) will only be entitled to be redeemed in the event the charter amendment for the extension is approved at the Annual Meeting. Stockholders who previously tendered their EG shares for redemption prior to and in connection with the Special Meeting held on December 18, 2023 will be entitled to be redeemed upon and assuming either the Business Combination is consummated or the charter amendment for the extension is approved at the Annual Meeting. If any such stockholders have questions or need assistance in connection with the Annual Meeting, please contact the Company’s proxy solicitor, Morrow Sodali LLC, by calling (800) 662-5200, or banks and brokers can call collect at (203) 658-9400, or by emailing EGGF.info@investor.morrowsodali.com.
