DENVER, Dec. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Accretion Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: ENER) (the "Company") today announced that its board of directors (the "Board") has determined not to proceed with a proposal to extend its corporate existence, as set forth in the Company's definitive proxy statement, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on November 27, 2023. As such, the Board has determined to cancel the annual meeting of its stockholders, previously scheduled for December 19, 2023, and to redeem all of its outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), sold in its initial public offering  (the "Public Shares"), effective on or about December 26, 2023, because the Company will not consummate an initial business combination transaction within the time period required by its amended and restated certificate of incorporation (as amended, the "Charter").

Pursuant to the Charter, if the Company does not consummate an initial business combination by December 25, 2023, the Company will: (i) cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten (10) business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the Public Shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then held in the Company's trust account, including the interest earned held in the Company's trust account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest for the Company's dissolution expenses), divided by the total number of Public Shares then outstanding, which redemption will completely extinguish such holders' rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to approval of the Company's then stockholders, and subject to the requirements of the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Board in accordance with applicable law, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company's obligations under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law.

The Company anticipates that the last day of trading of the Common Stock will be December 22, 2023 and that, on or about December 26, 2023, the Public Shares will be suspended from trading, will be deemed cancelled and will represent only the right to receive the per-share redemption price for the public shares to be announced at a later date (the "Redemption Amount").

The Redemption Amount will be payable to the holders of the Public Shares upon presentation of their respective share or unit certificates or other delivery of their shares or units to the Company's transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. Beneficial owners of Public Shares held in "street name," however, will not need to take any action in order to receive the Redemption Amount.

There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company's warrants or rights. The Company's initial stockholders have waived their redemption rights with respect to the outstanding shares of Common Stock issued prior to the Company's initial public offering.

The Company expects that the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC will file a Form 25 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to delist its securities.
