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

On October 9, 2023, A SPAC I Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) held an Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders (the “EGM”) for the purpose of (i) approving a proposal to amend and restate the Company’s then current amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Charter”) to, among other things, allow the Company to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination six (6) times for an additional one month each time from October 17, 2023 to April 17, 2024 (the “Charter Amendment Proposal”) by deleting the Charter in its entirety and substituting it with a new amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “New Charter”) and (ii) approving a proposal to amend and restate the Company’s Charter to remove the net tangible asset requirement from the Charter in order to expand the methods that the Company may employ so as not to become subject to the “penny stock” rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “NTA Requirement Amendment Proposal”) by deleting the Charter in its entirety and substituting it with the New Charter. For more information on the proposals, please refer to the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 22, 2023.

On October 9, 2023, following shareholder approval, the Company filed the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association with the British Virgin Islands Registrar of Corporate Affairs on the same day. The New Charter allows the Company the right to extend the date by which it has to complete a business combination up to six (6) times for an additional one month each time, from October 17, 2023 to April 17, 2024 and removed the net tangible asset requirement in order to expand the methods that the Company may employ so as not to become subject to the “penny stock” rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The foregoing description of the New Charter is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, a copy of which is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.1, and the provisions of which are incorporated by reference herein.

  

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

 

As of September 18, 2023, the record date for the EGM, there were 5,421,696 ordinary shares of the Company outstanding and entitled to vote. At the EGM, 4,715,065 ordinary shares were represented by proxy or in person, representing 86.97% of the total outstanding ordinary shares as of the record date, and constituting a quorum for the transaction of business.

 

At the EGM on October 9, 2023, the Company’s shareholders approved the Charter Amendment Proposal and the NTA Requirement Amendment Proposal. The voting results were as follows:

Following the deposit of the Extension Payment, the amount of funds remaining in the trust account was approximately $39.3 million, before taking into account the withdrawal of funds from the trust account for redemption of the Company’s public shares in connection with the shareholders’ vote at the EGM.
