Each of the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal, the Founder Share Amendment Proposal, and the Adjournment Proposal is more fully described in the accompanying Proxy Statement.

 

The purpose of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal, and, if necessary, the Adjournment Proposal, is to reduce our cost to extend the Termination Date to the Extended Deadlineallow us additional time to complete our previously announced business combination (the “contemplated in that certain Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”).

The Merger Liberty” together withand other transactions contemplated by the Merger MO, collectivelyBusiness Combination are referred to as the Merger“Business Combination.).

 

PursuantThe purpose of the Founder Share Amendment Proposal is to allow the holders of Class B Common Stock to convert their shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock, on a one-for-one basis, at any point in time prior to the Existing Company Charter,completion of the Business Combination. Such conversions would give the Company further flexibility to consummate the Business Combination.

The Charter, as amended to date, currently provides that the Company has until MayFebruary 8, 2023,2024, to complete its initial business combination.combination, subject to nine one-month extensions, and the Sponsor or its designees depositing additional funds into the Company’s Trust Account. While we and the other parties to the Business Combination Agreement are working toward satisfaction of the conditions to completion of the Business Combination, our board of directors (the “Libertythe Board”) believes that there may not be sufficient time before MayFebruary 8, 2023,2024 to hold a special meeting at which to conduct a vote for the stockholder approvals required in connection with the Business Combination and consummate the closing of the Business Combination.

If Accordingly, the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are approved and implemented, the Company may, but is not obligatedBoard believes that in order to extend the period in which the Company must complete the its initial business combination up to nine more times, each by an additional one month, for an aggregate of up to nine additional months, provided that the Company or the Sponsor (or any of either of their affiliates or designees) will deposit, on or prior to the last day of the immediately preceding extension for each such extension, or the next business day if such last day is not a business day (each a “Deadline Date”), into the Trust Fund the lesser of (x) $150,000 or (y) $0.05 per share for each public share outstanding as of the applicable Deadline Date for each extension.

The Liberty Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to have the Company’s shareholders approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal to allow for additional timebe able to consummate the Business Combination, andwe will need to reduce our costfile the Extension Amendment to extendprovide for the Termination Date to the Extended Deadline.Extensions.

With the Extension Amendment, the cost to purchase one-month extensions is the lesser of (x) $150,000 or (y) $0.05 per share for each public share outstanding as of the applicable Deadline Date for each extension. The table below sets forth the cost of an extension at $0.05 per share for each public share outstanding for three months based upon the redemption scenarios set forth therein.

Even if you are planning to attend the special meeting online, please promptly submit your proxy vote by telephone or, if you received a printed form of proxy in the mail, by completing, dating, signing and returning the enclosed proxy, so your shares will be represented at the special meeting. Instructions on voting your shares are on the proxy materials you received for the special meeting. In connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal, public shareholdersstockholders may elect to redeem their publicly tradedpublic shares atfor a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Accounttrust account (the “Trust Account”), including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding shares of Class A common stock included as part of the units soldCommon Stock issued in theour IPO, (the “publicwhich shares”), which election we refer to as the Redemption Election.“public shares,

A Redemption Election can be made regardless of whether such public shareholders vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” the Extension Amendment Proposal and a Redemption Election can also be made by public shareholders (the “public shareholders”) who do not vote, or do not instruct their broker or bank how to vote, at the special meeting. Holders of public shares may make a Redemption Election regardless of whether such public shareholders were holders as of the record date.

Public shareholders who do not make the Redemption Election would be entitled to have their shares redeemed for cash if we have not completed a business combination by the Extended Deadline. In addition, regardless of whether public shareholders vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” the Extension Amendment Proposal and/or the Trust Amendment Proposal, or do not vote, or do not instruct their broker or bank how to vote, at the special meeting, if the Extension Amendment is implemented and a public shareholder does not make a Redemption Election, they will retain the right to vote on any proposed business combination in the future and the right to redeem their public shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of such business combination, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, in the event any proposed business combination is completed.

You are not being asked to vote on a business combination at this time. If the Extension Amendment is implemented and you do not elect to redeem your public shares, provided that you are a shareholder on the record date for a meeting to consider a business combination, you will retain the right to vote on a business combination when it is submitted to shareholders and the right to redeem your public shares for cash in the event a business combination is approved and completed or we have not consummated a business combination by the Extended Deadline.

Based upon the amount in the Trust Account as of March 16, 2023, which was $121.72 million, we anticipate that the per-share price at which public shares will be redeemed from cash held in the Trust Account will be approximately $10.58 at the time of the special meeting. The closing price of the public shares on Nasdaq on March 31, 2023, the most recent practicable closing price prior to the mailing of this Proxy Statement, was $10.50. We cannot assure shareholders that they will be able to sell their shares in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in our securities when such shareholders wish to sell their shares.

TO DEMAND REDEMPTION, BEFORE 5:00 P.M. EASTERN TIME ON APRIL 14, 2023 (TWO BUSINESS DAYS BEFORE THE SPECIAL MEETING), YOU SHOULD ELECT EITHER TO PHYSICALLY TENDER YOUR SHARE CERTIFICATES TO CONTINENTAL STOCK TRANSFER & TRUST COMPANY OR TO DELIVER YOUR SHARES TO THE TRANSFER AGENT ELECTRONICALLY USING DTC’S DWAC (DEPOSIT/WITHDRAWAL AT CUSTODIAN), AS DESCRIBED HEREIN.

THE REDEMPTION RIGHTS INCLUDE THE REQUIREMENT THAT A HOLDER MUST IDENTIFY ITSELF IN WRITING AS A BENEFICIAL HOLDER AND PROVIDE ITS LEGAL NAME, PHONE NUMBER AND ADDRESS TO CONTINENTAL STOCK TRANSFER & TRUST COMPANY IN ORDER TO VALIDLY REDEEM ITS SHARES.

The purpose of the Trust Amendment is to amend the Trust Agreement to conform the procedures in the Trust Agreement by which the Company may extend the date on which Continental must liquidate the Trust Account if we have not completed our initial business combination to the procedures in the Extension Amendment.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved and we do not consummate a business combination by May 8, 2023, as contemplated by our IPO prospectus and in accordance with the Existing Company Charter, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the public shares in consideration of a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (net of taxes payable, less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses as provided in our registration statement), by (B) the total number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of public shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the Liberty Board in accordance with applicable law, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law. There will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up.

Liberty Fields, LLC (the “Sponsor”) and our directors and officers own 2,875,000 Founder Shares (as defined below) that were issued to them prior to our IPO. Our Sponsor also owns 530,275 private placement units (the “Private Placement Units”) that were purchased by the Sponsor in a private placement that closed simultaneously with the closing of the IPO. As used herein, “Founder Shares” refers to all issued and outstanding shares of our Class B common stock. In the event of a liquidation, our Sponsor and officers and directors will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of their ownership of the Founder Shares or the Private Placement Units.

The affirmative vote of at least 65% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, including the Founder Shares and the Class A common stock included in the Private Placement Units, will be required to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal. Stockholder approval of the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are required for the implementation of the Liberty Board’s plan to extend the Termination Date. Notwithstanding stockholder approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal, the Liberty Board will retain the right to abandon and not implement the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment at any time without any further action by our stockholders.

Approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast by shareholders represented in person or by proxy at the special meeting.

The Liberty Board has fixed the close of business on March 16, 2023 as the record date for determining the Company shareholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the special meeting and any adjournment thereof. Only holders of record of the Company’s common stock on that date are entitled to have their votes counted at the special meeting or any adjournment thereof.

After careful consideration of all relevant factors, the Liberty Board has determined that the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and, if presented, the Adjournment Proposal are advisable and in the best interests of Liberty and recommends that Liberty shareholders vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” the Extension Amendment Proposal, “FOR” the Trust Amendment Proposal, and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, if presented.

Under the Existing Company Charter, no other business may be transacted at the special meeting other than that set out in this notice.

Enclosed is the Proxy Statement containing detailed information concerning the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal, the Adjournment Proposal and the special meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the special meeting, we urge you to read this material carefully and vote your common stock.

NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON APRIL 18, 2023

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF LIBERTY RESOURCES ACQUISITION CORP.:

You are cordially invited to attend the special meeting of shareholders of Liberty Resources Acquisition Corp., which we refer to as “we,” “us,” “our,” “Liberty” or the “Company,” to be held at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on April 18, 2023.

The special meeting will be conducted via live webcast. You will be able to attend the special meeting, to vote and submit your questions during the special meeting by visiting https://www.cstproxy.com/libertyresourcesacquisition/2023. To access the virtual online special meeting, you will need your 12-digit control number to vote electronically at the special meeting. The accompanying proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) is dated April 3, 2023 and is first being mailed to shareholders of the Company on or about April 4, 2023.

The sole purpose of the special meeting is to consider and vote upon the following three proposals:

a proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Existing Company Charter”) in the form set forth in Annex A to the accompanying Proxy Statement, which we refer to as the “Extension Amendment,” which gives the Company the right to extend the date by which the Company must (i) consummate a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses (a “business combination”), (ii) cease its operations if it fails to complete such business combination, and (iii) redeem or repurchase 100% of the Company’s Class A common stock included as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering that closed on November 8, 2021 (the “IPO”) from May 8, 2023 (the “Termination Date”) by up to nine (9) one-month extensions to February 8, 2024 (each of which we refer to as an “Extension”, and such later date, the “Extended Deadline”) provided that (i) the Sponsor (or its affiliates or permitted designees) will deposit into the Trust Account the lesser of (x) $150,000 or (y) $0.05 per share for each public share outstanding as of the applicable Deadline Date for each such one-month extension until February 8, 2024 unless the closing of the Company’s initial business combination shall have occurred (the “Extension Payment”) and (ii) the procedures relating to any such extension, as set forth in the Trust Agreement, shall have been complied with (such proposal, the “Extension Amendment Proposal”);

a proposal to amend the Investment Management Trust Agreement dated November 8, 2021 (the “Trust Agreement”) entered into between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee (“Continental”) and the Company governing the trust account (the “Trust Account”) established in connection with the IPO, pursuant to an amendment to the Trust Agreement in the form set forth in Annex B to the accompanying Proxy Statement to allow the Company to extend the Termination Date for an additional nine (9) month period, from May 8, 2023 to February 8, 2024 (the “Trust Amendment”), by depositing into the Trust Account the lesser of (x) $150,000 or (y) $0.05 per share for each public share outstanding as of the applicable Deadline Date for each extension (such proposal is the “Trust Amendment Proposal”); and

a proposal to approve the adjournment of the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal, which we refer to as the “Adjournment Proposal,” which will be presented only if there are not sufficient votes to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal.

The purpose of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal, and, if necessary, the Adjournment Proposal, is to reduce our cost to extend the Termination Date to the Extended Deadline to complete our previously announced business combination (the “Business Combination”). On December 22, 2022, Liberty entered into a business combination agreement with with Liberty Onshore Energy B.V., a Dutch private limited liability company (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) (“PubCo”), Liberty Onshore Resources B.V., a Dutch private limited liability company (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid, LIBY Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub”), and Markmore Energy (Labuan) Limited (“Markmore”) as the owner of CaspiOilGas LLP, a limited liability partnership formed in Kazakhstan (“Caspi”) as it may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement.”


Pursuant to the Existing Company Charter, the Company currently has until May 8, 2023, to complete its initial business combination. While we and the other parties to the Business Combination Agreement are working toward satisfaction of the conditions to completion of the Business Combination, our board of directors (the “Liberty Board”) believes that there may not be sufficient time before May 8, 2023, to consummate the closing of the Business Combination.

If the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are approved and implemented, the Company may, but is not obligated to, extend the period in which the Company must complete the initial business combination up to nine more times, each by an additional one month, for an aggregate of up to nine additional months, provided that the Company or the Sponsor (or any of either of their affiliates or designees) will deposit, on or prior to (i) in case of the first such extension, the deadline for the Company to consummate a business combination prior to such extension, or the next business day if such deadline is not a business day, and (ii) for each subsequent extension, the last day of the immediately preceding extension for each such extension, or the next business day if such last day is not a business day (each a “Deadline Date”), into the Trust Fund the lesser of (x) $150,000 or (y) $0.05 per share for each public share outstanding as of the applicable Deadline Date for each extension.

The Liberty Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to have the Company’s shareholders approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal to allow for additional time to consummate the Business Combination and to reduce our cost to extend the Termination Date to the Extended Deadline. Without the Extension, the Company believes that the Company will not be able to complete the Business Combination on or before the Termination Date. If that were to occur, the Company would be precluded from completing the Business Combination and would be forced to liquidate.

With the Extension Amendment, the cost to purchase one-month extensions is the lesser of (x) $150,000 or (y) $0.05 per share for each public share outstanding as of the applicable Deadline Date for each extension. The table below sets forth the cost of an extension for three months based upon the redemption scenarios set forth therein. We are unable to predict the actual number of public shares for which public shareholders will make Redemption Elections in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal.

In connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal, public shareholders may elect to redeem their public shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Class A common stock included as part of the units sold in the IPO (the “public shares”), and which election we refer to as the Redemption Election.“Election,

A Redemption Election can be made regardless of whether such public shareholdersstockholders vote “FOR” or “AGAINST”on the Extension Amendment Proposal and/or the Trust Amendment Proposal, and a Redemption Election can also be made by public shareholders who do not vote, or do not instruct their broker or bank how to vote, at the special meeting. Holders of public shares (the “public shareholders”) may make a Redemption Election regardless of whether such public shareholders were holders as of the record date.

Public shareholders who do not make the Redemption Election would be entitled to have their shares redeemed for cash if we have not completed a business combination by the Extended Deadline. In addition, regardless of whether public shareholders vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” the Extension Amendment Proposal and/or the Trust Amendment Proposal, or do not vote, or do not instruct their broker or bank how to vote, at the special meeting, if the Extension Amendment is implemented and a public shareholder does not make a Redemption Election, they will retain the right to vote on any proposed business combination in the future and the right to redeem their public shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of such business combination, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, in the event such business combination is completed. We are not asking you to vote on any business combination at this time.

The withdrawal of funds from the Trust Account in connection with the Redemption Election will reduce the amount held in the Trust Account following the Redemption Election, and the amount remaining in the Trust Account may be only a small fraction of the approximately $121.72 million that was in the Trust Account as of March 16, 2023. In such event, we may need to obtain additional funds to complete any proposed business combination.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved and we do not consummate a business combination by May 8, 2023, as contemplated by our IPO prospectus and in accordance with the Existing Company Charter, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses, and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board, liquidate and dissolve, subject to our obligations to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law.

There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up. In the event of a liquidation, holders of Founder Shares (all of which are held by the Sponsor’s shareholders and our directors and officers), will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of their ownership of Founder Shares.Proposal.

 

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved by the Company, pursuant torequisite vote of stockholders, the terms of the Trust Agreement, will (i) remove from the Trust Account an amount, which we refer to as the “Withdrawal Amount”, equal to the numberremaining holders of public shares properly redeemed multiplied by the per-share price, equalwill retain their right to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, and (ii) deliver to the holders of such redeemed public shares their portion of the Withdrawal Amount. The remainder of such funds will remain in the Trust Account and be available for use by the Company to complete a business combination on or before the Extended Deadline. Holders of public shares who do not redeem their public shares now will retain their redemption rights and their abilitywhen the Business Combination is submitted to vote on a business combination through the Extended Deadline ifstockholders, subject to any limitations set forth in our Charter as amended by the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved.

This Proxy Statement contains important information about the special meeting and the proposals. Please read it carefully and vote your shares. We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. We have engaged Laurel Hill Advisory Group LLC (“Laurel Hill”), to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the special meeting. We have agreed to pay Laurel Hill a fee of $12,000. We will also reimburse Laurel Hill for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and will indemnify Laurel Hill and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses. In addition to these mailed proxy materials, our directors and officers may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other means of communication. These parties will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.

To exercise your redemption rights, you must demand that the Company redeem your public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account and tender your shares to the Company’s transfer agent at least two business days prior to the special meetingSpecial Meeting (or April 14, 2023)February [6], 2024). You may tender your shares by either delivering your share certificate to the transfer agent or by delivering your shares electronically using the Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) system. If you hold your shares in street name, you will need to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee to withdraw the shares from your account in order to exercise your redemption rights.

 

Based upon the amount in the Trust Account as of January 30, 2024, the Company anticipates that the per-share price at which public shares will be redeemed from cash held in the Trust Account will be approximately $42,456,172 at the time of the Special Meeting. The closing price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on January 30, 2024, was $11.10. The Company cannot assure stockholders that they will be able to sell their shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when such stockholders wish to sell their shares.

The Adjournment Proposal, if adopted, will allow the Board to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates to permit further solicitation of proxies. The Adjournment Proposal will only be presented to our stockholders in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Founder Share Amendment Proposal, and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved, our Sponsor determines not to fund any additional extensions as permitted by the Charter, and we do not consummate a business combination by February 8, 2024, in accordance with our Charter, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days after subject to lawfully available funds, redeem 100% of the public shares in consideration of a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (net of taxes payable, less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), by (B) the total number of then outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of public stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Board in accordance with applicable law, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under the Delaware General Corporation Law, which we refer to as the “DGCL,” to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law. There will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to the Company’sour warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up. 

The Sponsor owns 2,875,000 Founder Shares (as defined below) that were issued to the Sponsor prior to our IPO, and 530,275 private placement units, which we refer to as the “Private Placement Units,” that were purchased by the Sponsor in a private placement which occurred simultaneously with the completion of the IPO. In addition, certain of our executive officers have beneficial interests in the Sponsor. “Founder Shares” refers to all issued and outstanding shares of our Class B Common Stock. In the event of a liquidation, our Sponsor’s shareholdersSponsor, officers and our directors, and officers Investors will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of their ownership of the Founder Shares or the Private Placement Units.

Subject to the foregoing, the affirmative vote of at least 65% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, including the Founder Shares, will be required to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal. Stockholder approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal is required for the implementation of our Board’s plan to extend the date by which we must consummate our initial business combination. Notwithstanding stockholder approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal, subject to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, our Board will retain the right to abandon and not implement the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment at any time without any further action by our stockholders.

The Founder Share Amendment requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the holders of Class B Common Stock outstanding, voting separately as a single class.

Approval of the Adjournment Proposal and Action by Written Consent Amendment require the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast by stockholders represented online or by proxy at the Special Meeting.

Our Board has fixed the close of business on January 24, 2024 as the date for determining the Company stockholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Special Meeting and any adjournment. Only holders of record of the Company’s common stock on that date are entitled to have their votes counted at the Special Meeting or any adjournment.

We reserve the right at any time to cancel the Special Meeting and not to submit to our stockholders the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Founder Share Amendment Proposal, or the Trust Amendment Proposal or implement the Extension Amendment, the Founder Share Amendment Proposal, or the Trust Amendment.

You are not being asked to vote on the Business Combination at this time. If the Extension is implemented and you do not elect to redeem your public shares, provided that you are a stockholder on the record date for a meeting to consider the Business Combination, you will retain the right to vote on the Business Combination when it is submitted to stockholders and the right to redeem your public shares for cash in the event the Business Combination is approved and completed or we have not consummated a Business Combination by the Extended Date.

After careful consideration of all relevant factors, the Board has determined that the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Founder Share Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and, if presented, the Adjournment Proposal are advisable and recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” such proposals.

Under Delaware law and the Company’s bylaws, no other business may be transacted at the Special Meeting.

Enclosed is the Proxy Statement containing detailed information concerning the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Founder Share Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal, the Adjournment Proposal and the Special Meeting.

NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON FEBRUARY [8], 2024

PROXY STATEMENT

The special meeting, which we refer to as the “Special Meeting,” of stockholders of Liberty Resources Acquisition Corp., which we refer to as the “we,” “us,” “our,” “Liberty” or the “Company,” will be held at [__] a.m. Eastern Time on February [8], 2024 as a virtual meeting via live webcast. You will be able to attend, vote your shares, and submit questions during the Special Meeting via a live webcast available at https://www.cstproxy.com/Libertycorp/2024. If you plan to attend the virtual online Special Meeting, you will need your 12-digit control number to vote electronically at the Special Meeting. The Special Meeting will be held for the sole purpose of considering and voting upon the following proposals:

Extension Amendment Proposal – a proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, which we refer to as the “Charter,” in the form set forth in Annex A to the accompanying Proxy Statement, which we refer to as the “Extension Amendment” and such proposal the “Extension Amendment Proposal,” to extend the date by which the Company must (i) consummate a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses, which we refer to as a “business combination,” (ii) cease its operations if it fails to complete such business combination, and (iii) redeem or repurchase 100% of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “Class A Common Stock”) included as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering that was consummated on November 8, 2021, which we refer to as the “IPO,” from February 8, 2024 (the “Termination Date”) to November 7, 2024 or such earlier date as determined by the board of directors, under nine one-month extensions, which we refer to as the “Extensions,” and such later date, the “Extended Date,” provided that (i) Liberty Resources, LLC, the Company’s sponsor (the “Sponsor”), or its affiliates or permitted designees will deposit into the Trust Account the lesser of (x) $35,000 or (y) $0.03 per share for each public share that is not redeemed in connection with the Special Meeting for each such one-month extension commencing February 8, 2024 until November 7, 2024 unless the closing of the Company’s initial business combination shall have occurred (the “Extension Payment”) in exchange for a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note payable upon consummation of a business combination and (ii) the procedures relating to any such extension, as set forth in the Trust Agreement, shall have been complied with;
Trust Amendment Proposal – a proposal to amend the Company’s investment management trust agreement, dated as of March 27, 2021 (the “Trust Agreement”), by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”), allowing the Company to extend the Termination Date for an additional nine months, under nine one-month extensions, to November 7, 2024 (the “Trust Amendment”), by depositing into the Trust Account the lesser of (x) $35,000 or (y) $0.03 per share for each public share that is not redeemed in connection with the Special Meeting for each such one-month extension commencing February 8, 2024 until November 7, 2024 unless the closing of the Company’s initial business combination shall have occurred (the “Extension Payment”) for such extension, which we refer to as the “Trust Amendment Proposal”; and
Founder Share Amendment — to provide for the right of the holders of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock” or “Founder Shares” and together with the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”) to convert such shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock of Liberty, par value $0.0001 per share  on a one-to-one basis at the election of such holders (the “Founder Share Amendment”); and

Adjournment Proposal – a proposal to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal, which we refer to as the “Adjournment Proposal.” The Adjournment Proposal will only be presented at the Special Meeting if there are not sufficient votes to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal.

The purpose of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal, and, if necessary, the Adjournment Proposal, is to allow us additional time to complete our previously announced business combination contemplated in that certain Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) dated December 22, 2022, by and among the Company, Liberty Onshore Energy B.V., a Dutch private limited liability company (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) (“PubCo”), Liberty Onshore Resources B.V., a Dutch private limited liability company (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) (“HoldCo”), LIBY Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub”), and Markmore Energy (Labuan) Limited (“Markmore”). The Company, PubCo, HoldCo, Merger Sub and Markmore are collectively referred to as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party.” At the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination (the “Closing”), among other things, Merger Sub will merge into Liberty with Liberty continuing as the surviving company and wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Liberty Merger”) and the holders of Liberty will exchange their shares in Liberty for PubCo Shares. The Merger and other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination are referred to as the “Business Combination”.

The purpose of the Founder Share Amendment is to allow the holders of Class B Common Stock to convert their shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock, on a one-for-one basis, at any point in time prior to the completion of the Business Combination (as defined above). Such conversions would give the Company further flexibility to consummate the Business Combination.

The Charter, as amended to date, currently provides that the Company has until February 8, 2024, to complete its initial business combination, subject to nine one-month extensions, and the Sponsor or its designees depositing additional funds into the Company’s Trust Account. While we and the other parties to the Business Combination Agreement are working toward satisfaction of the conditions to completion of the Business Combination, the Board believes that there may not be sufficient time before February 8, 2024 to hold a special meeting at which to conduct a vote for the stockholder approvals required in connection with the Business Combination and consummate the closing of the Business Combination. Accordingly, the Board believes that in order to be able to consummate the Business Combination, we will need to file the Extension Amendment to provide for the Extensions. Without the Extensions, the Board believes that there is a significant risk that we might not, despite our best efforts, be able to complete the Business Combination on or before the Termination Date. If that were to occur, we would be precluded from completing the Business Combination and would be forced to liquidate even if our stockholders are otherwise in favor of consummating the Business Combination.

While we are using our best efforts to complete the Business Combination as soon as practicable, the Board believes that there will not be sufficient time before the Termination Date to complete the Business Combination. Under the Charter, the Sponsor may, but is not obligated to, request to extend the period of time to consummate a business combination.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved and implemented, subject to satisfaction of the conditions to closing in the Business Combination Agreement (including, without limitation, receipt of stockholder approval of Business Combination), we intend to complete the Business Combination as soon as possible and in any event on or before the Extended Date.

The purpose of the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Founder Share Amendment Proposal, and the Trust Amendment Proposal is to allow the Company more time and flexibility to complete the Business Combination.

In connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal, public stockholders may elect to redeem their public shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account (the “Trust Account”), including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock issued in our IPO, which shares we refer to as the “public shares,” and which election we refer to as the “Election,” regardless of whether such public stockholders vote on the Extension Amendment Proposal. We cannot predict the amount that will remain in the Trust Account if the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved and the amount remaining in the Trust Account may be only a small fraction of the approximately $42,456,172 that was in the Trust Account as of January 30, 2024.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved by the requisite vote of stockholders, the remaining holders of public shares will retain their right to redeem their public shares when the Business Combination is submitted to the stockholders, subject to any limitations set forth in our Charter as amended by the Extension Amendment. In addition, public stockholders who do not make the Election would be entitled to have their public shares redeemed for cash if the Company has not completed a business combination by the Extended Date.

The Sponsor owns 2,875,000 Founder Shares (as defined below) that were issued to the Sponsor prior to our IPO, and 530,275 private placement units, which we refer to as the “Private Placement Units,” that were purchased by the Sponsor in a private placement which occurred simultaneously with the completion of the IPO. In addition, certain of our executive officers have beneficial interests in the Sponsor. “Founder Shares” refers to all issued and outstanding shares of our Class B Common Stock. In the event of a liquidation, our Sponsor, officers, and directors, will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of their ownership of the Founder Shares or the Private Placement Units.

To exercise your redemption rights, you must demand that the Company redeem your public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account and tender your shares to the Company’s transfer agent at least two business days prior to the Special Meeting (or February [__], 2024). You may tender your shares by either delivering your share certificate to the transfer agent or by delivering your shares electronically using the Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) system. If you hold your shares in street name, you will need to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee to withdraw the shares from your account in order to exercise your redemption rights.

Based upon the amount in the Trust Account as of January 30, 2024, the Company anticipates that the per-share price at which public shares will be redeemed from cash held in the Trust Account will be approximately $42,456,172 at the time of the Special Meeting. The closing price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on January 30, 2024 was $11.10. The Company cannot assure stockholders that they will be able to sell their shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when such stockholders wish to sell their shares. 

Approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal is a condition to the implementation of the Extension.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Founder Share Amendment Proposal, and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved, our Sponsor determines not to fund any additional extension as permitted by the Charter, and we do not consummate a business combination by February 8, 2024, as contemplated by our IPO prospectus and in accordance with the Charter, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days after subject to lawfully available funds, redeem 100% of the public shares of in consideration of a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (net of taxes payable, less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), by (B) the total number of then outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of public stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Board in accordance with applicable law, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law.

In the event of a liquidation, our Sponsor will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of its ownership of 2,875,000 Founder Shares that were issued to the Sponsor prior to our IPO and 530,275 Private Placement Units that were purchased by the Sponsor in a private placement which occurred simultaneously with the completion of the IPO. As a consequence, a liquidating distribution from the Trust Account will be made only with respect to the public shares. Certain of our executive officers have beneficial interests in the Sponsor.

We reserve the right at any time to cancel the Special Meeting and not to submit to our stockholders the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Founder Share Amendment Proposal, or the Trust Amendment Proposal or implement the Extension Amendment, the Founder Share Amendment Proposal, or Trust Amendment. In the event the Special Meeting is cancelled, we will dissolve and liquidate in accordance with the Charter.

 

If the Company liquidates, the Sponsor has agreed to indemnify us to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to us, or any claims by a prospective target business with which we have discussed entering into an acquisition agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.15 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to our Trust Account and except as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of our IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act“Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third partythird-party claims. We cannot assure you, however, that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. Based upon the current amount in the Trust Account as of January 30, 2024, we anticipate that the per-share price at which public shares will be redeemed from cash held in the Trust Account will be approximately $10.58.$[__]. Nevertheless, the Company cannot assure you that the per share distribution from the Trust Account, if the Company liquidates, will not be less than $10.58,$[__], plus interest, due to unforeseen claims of creditors.

 

Under the DGCL, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. If the corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution. 

Because the Company will not be complying with Section 280 of the DGCL, as described in our prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 3, 2021, and declared effective on March 27, 2021, Section 281(b) of the DGCL requires us to adopt a plan, based on facts known to us at such time that will provide for our payment of all existing and pending claims or claims that may be potentially brought against us within the 10 years following our dissolution. However, because we are a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and our operations have been limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from our vendors (such as lawyers or investment bankers) or prospective target businesses.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, the Company, under the terms of the Trust Agreement, will (i) remove from the Trust Account an amount, which we refer to as the “Withdrawal Amount,” equal to the number of public shares properly redeemed multiplied by the per-share price, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares and (ii) deliver to the holders of such redeemed public shares their portion of the Withdrawal Amount. The remainder of such funds shall remain in the Trust Account and be available for use by the Company to complete a business combination on or before the Extended Date. Holders of public shares who do not redeem their public shares now will retain their redemption rights and their ability to vote on a business combination through the Extended Date if the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, our Sponsor or its designees has agreed to loan to us the lesser of $35,000 or $0.03 per share for each one-month extension for a total of nine one-month extensions until November 7, 2024, unless the Closing of the Company’s initial business combination shall have occurred (the “Extension Loan”), which amount will be deposited into the Trust Account. The Extension Loan is conditioned upon the implementation of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal. The Extension Loan will not occur if the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved, or the Extension is not completed. The Extension Loan will not bear interest and will be repayable upon consummation of a Business Combination. If the sponsor or its designees advises us that it does not intend to make the Extension Loan, then the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal will not be put before the stockholders at the special meeting and, unless the Company can complete the Business Combination by November 7, 2024, we will dissolve and liquidate in accordance with our Charter.

Our Board has fixed the close of business on January 24, 2024, as the date for determining the Company stockholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Special Meeting and any adjournment (the “record date”). Only holders of record of the Company’s common stock on that date are entitled to have their votes counted at the Special Meeting or any adjournment. On the record date of the Special Meeting, there were 14,905,275 shares of common stock outstanding, of which 11,500,000 were public shares, 2,875,000 were Founder Shares, and 530,275 were shares underlying the Private Placement Units. The Company’s warrants do not have voting rights in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal, or the Adjournment Proposal, and we have been informed by our Sponsor, which holds all 2,875,000 Founder Shares and 530,275 Private Placement Units, that it intends to vote in favor of the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal, and the Adjournment Proposal.

This Proxy Statement contains important information about the Special Meeting and the proposals. Please read it carefully and vote your shares.

We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies from our working capital. We have engaged Laurel Hill Advisory Group, LLC (the “Proxy Solicitor”) to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Special Meeting. We will also reimburse the Proxy Solicitor for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and will indemnify the Proxy Solicitor and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses. In addition to these mailed proxy materials, our directors and officers may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other means of communication. These parties will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners. While the payment of these expenses will reduce the cash available to us to consummate an initial business combination if the Extension is approved, we do not expect such payments to have a material effect on our ability to consummate an initial business combination.

Holders of public shares who do not redeem their public shares now will retain their redemption rights and their ability to vote on a business combination through the Extended Date if the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved.

We cannot predict the amount that will remain in the Trust Account if the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved and the amount remaining in the Trust Account may be only a small fraction of the approximately $121.72 million$42,456,172 that was in the Trust Account as of the record date.January 30, 2024. In such event, we may need to obtain additional funds to complete an initial business combination, and there can be no assurance that such funds will be available on terms acceptable to the parties or at all.

Why is the Company proposing the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal? The Existing CompanyOur Charter provides for the return of the funds held in the Trust Account to the holders of public shares if there is no qualifying Business Combination consummated on or before Maythat we have until February 8, 2023. The Liberty Board believes that there will not be sufficient time before May 8, 2023 to hold a special meeting for shareholder approval of any proposed Business Combination or to consummate any proposed Business Combination. The Liberty Board believes that in order to be able to consummate any proposed business combination, we will need to extend the May 8, 2023 Termination Date by some or all of the 9-month Extension Period.

The purpose of the Extension Amendment Proposal and Trust Amendment Proposal, and, if necessary, the Adjournment Proposal, is to allow us to have additional time2024, to complete our previously announced Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate the Business Combination, given the actions that must occur prior to closing of the Business Combination.
Accordingly, the Liberty Board is proposing the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal to amend the Existing Company Charter in the form set forth in Annex A hereto and to amend the Trust Agreement in the form set forth in Annex B hereto, respectively, to extend the date by which we must (i) consummate ainitial business combination, or (ii) if we fail to consummate a business combination, (A) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (B) redeem all of the Company’s public shares and (C) liquidate and dissolve and to provide that if any Extended Deadline ends on a day that is not a business day, such Extended Deadline will be automatically extended to the next succeeding business day, and our board is proposing the Trust Amendment Proposal to amend the Trust Agreement in the form set forth in Annex B to extend the date on which Continental must liquidate the Trust Account established in connection with our IPO if we have not completed a business combination, from May 8, 2023 to February 8, 2024 (or such earlier date after May 8, 2023 as determined by the Company’s board of directors).
If the Extension Amendment Proposal and Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved by the Company’s shareholders, the Company may put the Adjournment Proposal to a vote in order to seek additional time to obtain sufficient votes in support of the Extension. If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved by the Company’s shareholders, the Liberty Board may not be able to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal.
Why should I vote “FOR” the Extension Amendment Proposal?The Liberty Board believes that our stockholders will benefit from the consummation of the Business Combination and is proposing the Extension Amendment Proposal to extend the date to complete the Business Combination until the Extended Deadline to give us additional time to complete the Business Combination.
The Libertycombination. Our Board has determined that it is in the best interests of our stockholders to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and, if necessary, the Adjournment Proposal, to allow for additional time to consummate the Business Combination and to potentially reduce the cost to the Sponsor to fund extensions.Combination. While we are using our best efforts to complete the Business Combination as soon as practicable, the Liberty Board believes that there will not be sufficient time before the Termination Date to complete the Business Combination. Accordingly, the Liberty Board believes that in order to be able to consummate the Business Combination, we will need to obtain the Extension. Without the Extension, the Liberty Board believes that there is significant risk that we might not, despite our best efforts, be able to complete the Business Combination on or before MayFebruary 8, 2023.2024. If that were to occur, we would be precluded from completing the Business Combination and would be forced to liquidate even if our stockholders are otherwise in favor of consummating the Business Combination.
   
  

If the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment areis approved and implemented, subject to satisfaction of the conditions to closing in the Business Combination Agreement (including, without limitation, receipt of stockholder approval of the Business Combination), we intend to complete the Business Combination as soon as possible and in any event on or before the Extended Date.

The LibertyBoard believes that it is in the best interests of our stockholders that the Extension be obtained to provide additional amount of time to consummate the Business Combination. Without the Extension, we believe that there is substantial risk that we might not, despite our best efforts, be able to complete the Business Combination on or before February 8, 2024.

Our Board believes the Business Combination will provide significant benefits to our stockholders. For more information about the Business Combination, see our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 22, 2022.

Our Board recommends that you vote in favor of the Extension Amendment Proposal and in favor of the Trust Amendment Proposal.
Why should I vote “FOR” the Founder Share Amendment Proposal?

The purpose of the Founder Share Amendment Proposal is to allow the holders of Class B Common Stock to convert their shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock, on a one-for-one basis, at any point in time prior to the completion of the Business Combination. Such conversions would give further flexibility to consummate the Business Combination under the Business Combination.

The purpose of the Founder Share Amendment Proposal is to allow the Board flexibility to act in furtherance of the Business Combination without the expense of a stockholders’ meeting.

Accordingly, the Board believes that in order to be able to consummate the Business Combination, the Sponsor will need to convert such Class B Common Stock to Class A Common Stock.

We reserve the right at any time to cancel the Special Meeting and not to submit to our stockholders the Founder Share Amendment Proposal or implement the changes proposed by the Founder Share Amendment Proposal.

   
Why should I vote “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal? 

If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved by Liberty’s shareholders, the Libertyour stockholders, our Board may not be able to adjourn the special meetingSpecial Meeting to a later date or dates in the event that there are insufficient shares represented (eithervotes for, or otherwise in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct business atconnection with, the special meeting or at the timeapproval of the special meetingExtension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal.

We reserve the right at any time to approvecancel the Special Meeting and not to submit to our stockholders the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal.

The Existing Company Charter provides that if our stockholders approve an amendmentProposal or implement the Extension Amendment or Trust Amendment. In the event the Special Meeting is cancelled, and we are unable to complete the Existing Company Charter with respect to (A)Business Combination by the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our public shares ifTermination Date, we do not complete a business combination before May 8, 2023, or (B) any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or initial business combination activity, Liberty will provide our public stockholdersdissolve and liquidate in accordance with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon such approval at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares.

We believe that this provision of the Existing Company Charter was included to protect our public shareholders from having to sustain their investments for an unreasonably long period if we failed to find a suitable business combination in the timeframe contemplated by the Existing Company Charter.

The Liberty Board believes, however, that given our expenditure of time, effort and money on the proposed Business Combination with Caspi, circumstances warrant providing those who believe a proposed business combination is an attractive investment with an opportunity to consider such transaction, inasmuch as we are also affording shareholders who wish to redeem their public shares the opportunity to do so, as required under the Existing Company Charter. If you do not elect to redeem your public shares, you will retain the right to vote on any business combination in the future and the right to redeem your public shares in connection with such business combination.

Our board recommends that you vote in favor of the Adjournment Proposal should this be put to your vote.

   
When would the Liberty Board abandon the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal? We intend to hold the special meetingSpecial Meeting to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment ifProposal and only if the Liberty Board has determined as of the time of the special meetingSpecial Meeting that we may not be able to complete the Business Combination on or before MayFebruary 8, 2023.2024. If we complete the Business Combination on or before MayFebruary 8, 2023,2024, we will not implement the Extension. Additionally, the Libertyour Board will abandon the Extension Amendment, the Charter Amendments, and Trust Amendment if our shareholdersstockholders do not approve the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Founder Share Amendment Proposal, and the Trust Amendment Proposal. Notwithstanding shareholderstockholder approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Founder Share Amendment Proposal, and the Trust Amendment Proposal, the Libertyour Board will retain the right to abandon and not implement the Extension Amendment, andthe Charter Amendments, or Trust Amendment at any time without any further action by our shareholders,stockholders, subject to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement.


How do the Company insiders intend to vote their shares? 

The Sponsor is expected to vote any common stock over which it has voting control (including any public shares owned by it) in favor of the Extension Amendment Proposal the Trust Amendment Proposal, and the Founder Share Amendment Proposal. Currently, the Company’sour Sponsor directors and officers ownowns approximately 22.8%[__]% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, including 2,875,000 Founder Shares and 530,275 shares of Class A common shares included inCommon Stock underlying the Private Placement Units.

The Founder Shares carry voting rights in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Founder Share Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal, and the Adjournment Proposal, and we expect all of the Sponsor’s shareholdershave been informed by our Sponsor that it intends to vote in favor of the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal, the Founder Share Amendment Proposal, and the Adjournment Proposal, though they are not required to do so.

Proposal. Our Sponsor directors and officers dodoes not intend to purchase our shares of common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions in connection with the shareholderstockholder vote on the Extension Amendment orProposal and the Trust Amendment.

Our Sponsor, our directors and officers, Caspi, Caspi’s directors and officers, Markmore, Markmore’s directors and officers, or any of their respective affiliates, may purchase public shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market prior to or following the special meeting, although they are under no obligation to do so. Such public shares would be (a) purchased at a price no higher than the redemption price for the public shares, which is currently estimated to be $10.58 per share and (b) would not be (i) voted by the initial stockholders or their respective affiliates at the special meeting and (ii) redeemable by the initial stockholders or their respective affiliates. Any such purchases that are completed after the record date for the special meeting may include an agreement with a selling stockholder that such stockholder, for so long as it remains the record holder of the shares in question, will vote in favor of the Extension Amendment and/or will not exercise its redemption rights with respect to the shares so purchased. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood that the proposals to be voted upon at the special meeting are approved by the requisite number of votes and to reduce the number of public shares that are redeemed. In the event that such purchases do occur, the purchasers may seek to purchase shares from stockholders who would otherwise have voted against the Extension Amendment and elected to redeem their shares for a portion of the Trust Account. Any such privately negotiated purchases may be effected at purchase prices that are below or in excess of the per-share pro rata portion of the Trust Account. Any public shares held by or subsequently purchased by our affiliates may be voted in favor of the Extension Amendment. None of our Sponsor, our directors and officers, Caspi, Caspi’s directors and officers, Markmore, Markmore’s directors and officers, or any of their respective affiliates may make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller or during a restricted period under Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

We expect to seek stockholder approval of the Business Combination. If stockholders approve the Business Combination, we expect to consummate the Business Combination as soon as possible following such stockholder approval. Because we have only a limited time to complete our initial business combination, even if we are able to effect the Extension, our failure to complete the Business Combination within the requisite time period will require us to liquidate. If we liquidate, our public stockholders may only receive $[__] per share, and our warrants will expire worthless. This will also cause you to lose any potential investment opportunity in a target company and the chance of realizing future gains on your investment through any price appreciation in the combined company.

The Extension Amendment Proposal is conditioned upon the implementation of the Extension Payment. No Extension Payment will occur if the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved. The Extension Payment will not bear interest and will be repayable by the Company to the Sponsor or its designees upon consummation of the Business Combination. If the Company opts not to utilize the Extension Amendment, then the Company will liquidate and dissolve promptly in accordance with the Charter, and the Sponsor’s obligation to make additional contributions will terminate.

 

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, the removal of the Withdrawal Amount from the Trust Account will reduce the amount remaining in the Trust Account and increase the percentage interest of our common stock held by our Sponsor as a result of its ownership of the Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants.

Accordingly, a Company stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote online at the Special Meeting or an abstention with respect to the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” such proposal.

The approval of the Founder Share Amendment requires an affirmative vote of the majority of the shares of Class B Common Stock then outstanding, voting separately as a single class. Accordingly, a Company stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote online at the Special Meeting will not be counted towards the number of shares of common stock required to validly establish a quorum, and if a valid quorum is otherwise established, it will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on the Founder Share Amendment Proposal. Abstentions will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established but will have no effect on the outcome of the Founder Share Amendment Proposal.

RISK FACTORS

 

You should consider carefully all of the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022, as amended by aJune 8, 2023, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-K/A10-Q filed with the SEC on JanuaryJune 30, 2023, August 14, 2023, and November 3, 2023, and the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ending Septemver 30, 2022 filed on November 17, 2022, , and in the other reports we file with the SEC before making a decision on how to vote on the proposals at the special meeting.invest in our securities. Furthermore, if any of the following events occur, our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially adversely affected or we could face liquidation. In that event, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties described in the aforementioned filings and below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important factors that adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results or result in our liquidation.

 

There are no assurances that the Extension or Founder Share Amendment Proposal will enable us to complete a business combination.

 

Approving the Extension and Founder Share Amendment Proposal involves a number of risks. Even if the Extension isand Founder Share Amendment Proposal are approved, the Company can provide no assurances that our initial business combinationthe Business Combination will be consummated prior to the Extended Deadline.Date. Our ability to consummate any business combination is dependent on a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. If the Extension isand Founder Share Amendment Proposal are approved, the Company expects to seek shareholderstockholder approval of our initial business combination with Caspi and Markmore following the SEC declaring the Registration Statement effective, which includes our preliminary proxy statement/prospectus for our initial business combination. The Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the SEC, and the Company cannot complete the Business Combination unlesswith the Registration Statement is declared effective. As ofTarget, which will include filing a registration statement or proxy statement with the date of this Proxy Statement, theSEC. The Company cannot estimate when, or if, the SEC will declare such registration statement effective or clear such proxy statement for distribution to the Registration Statement effective.Company’s stockholders, as applicable.

 

We are required to offer shareholdersstockholders the opportunity to redeem shares in connection with the Extension Amendment, and we will be required to offer shareholdersstockholders redemption rights again in connection with any shareholderstockholder vote to approve the Business Combination. Even if the Extension and Founder Share Amendment Proposal or the Business Combination are approved by our shareholders,stockholders, it is possible that redemptions will leave us with insufficient cash to consummate the Business Combination on commercially acceptable terms, or at all. The fact that we will have separate redemption periods in connection with the Extension, the Founder Share Amendment Proposal, and the Business Combination vote could exacerbate these risks. Other than in connection with a redemption offer or liquidation, our stockholders may be unable to recover their investment except through sales of our shares on the open market. The price of our shares may be volatile, and there can be no assurance that stockholders will be able to dispose of our shares at favorable prices, or at all.

 

Furthermore, under the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company may, but is not required to, use its commercially reasonable effortsseek to enter into and consummate subscription agreements with investors relating to a private equity investment and/or backstop arrangements in connection with the transactions (the PIPE Investment“PIPE Investment”) contemplated under the proposed Business Combination. However,Accordingly, a PIPE Investment is not a condition of closing the Business Combination and thus there is no assurance that a PIPE Investment will occur. Moreover, there is no assurance after any redemptions occur, that the Company will be left with sufficient cash to consummate our initial business combination on commercially acceptable terms, or at all. No assurances can be made that such Business Combination will be consummated.

 

The fact that we will have separate redemption periods in connection with the Extension and the Business Combination vote could exacerbate these risks. Other than in connection with a redemption offer or liquidation, our shareholders may be unable to recover their investment except through sales of our shares on the open market. The price of our shares may be volatile, and there can be no assurance that shareholders will be able to dispose of our shares at favorable prices, or at all.

 

Regulatory delays could cause us to be unable to consummate the Business Combination.

 

We are not aware of any material regulatory approvals or actions that are required for completion of the Business Combination besides the SEC declaringof the Company’s Registration Statement effective.registration statement or proxy statement, as applicable. It is presently contemplated that if any such additional regulatory approvals or actions are required, those approvals or actions will be sought. There can be no assurance, however, that any additional approvals or actions will be obtained.

 

Because we have only a limited time to complete our initial business combination, even if we are able to effect the Extension, our failure to obtain any required regulatory approvals in connection with the Business Combination or to resolve the above-mentioned investigations within the requisite time period may require us to liquidate.Combination. If we liquidate, our public shareholdersstockholders may only receive $10.58$[__] per share, and our warrants will expire worthless. This will also cause you to lose any potential investment opportunity in a target company and the chance of realizing future gains on your investment through any price appreciation in the combined company.


We are likely tomay be deemed a “foreign person” under U.S. foreign investmentthe regulations which might impose conditions on the consummation of the Business Combinationrelating to CFIUS and our failure to obtain any required approvals within the requisite time period may require us to liquidate.

 

The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”) has authority to review certain direct or indirect foreign investments in U.S. businesses. Among other things, CFIUS is authorized to require certain foreign investors to make mandatory filings and to self-initiate national security reviews of certain foreign direct and indirect investments in U.S. businesses if the parties to that investment choose not to file voluntarily. With respect to transactions that CFIUS considers to present unresolved national security concerns, CFIUS has the power to suspend transactions, impose mitigation measures, and/or recommend that the President block pending transactions or order divestitures of completed transactions when national security concerns cannot be mitigated. Whether CFIUS has jurisdiction to review an acquisition or investment transaction depends on, among other factors, the nature and structure of the transaction, whether the target company is a U.S. business, the level of beneficial ownership and voting interests acquired by foreign persons, and the nature of any information, control or governance rights received by foreign persons. For example, any investment that results in “control” of a U.S. business by a foreign person is within CFIUS’ jurisdiction. CFIUS’ expanded jurisdiction under the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 and implementing regulations further includes investments that do not result in control of a U.S. business by a foreign person but that afford foreign persons certain information or governance rights in a “TID U.S. business,” that is, a U.S. business that: (i) produces, designs, tests, manufactures, fabricates, or develops “critical technologies”; (ii) owns or operates certain “critical infrastructure”; and/or (iii) maintains or collects “sensitive personal data,” all as defined in the CFIUS regulations.

The Company’s sponsorSponsor is Liberty Fields, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The Sponsorsponsor currently beneficially owns 3,335,2752,875,000 shares of our common stock (530,275 shares of Class A Common Stock and 2,805,000 shares of Class B Common Stock). TheStock acquired prior to our IPO, and 530,275 Private Placement Units that were purchased by the Sponsor is controlled by one or more non-U.S. persons. While we do believe that our Sponsor may constitutein a private placement which occurred simultaneously with the completion of the IPO.

If CFIUS considers us to be a “foreign person” under rules and regulations of CFIUS,that may affect national security, we do not believe any initial business combination between the Company and a target company wouldcould be subject to such foreign ownership restrictions and/or CFIUS review in view of the asset class in which we seek to complete a business combination.

As Caspi is not currently conducting any business in the United States, Liberty believes that Caspi should not be considered a U.S. business for CFIUS purposes.review. If however, the Business Combination does fallwith the Target falls within the scope of applicable foreign ownership restrictions, we may be unable to consummate the Business Combination. In addition, if the Business Combination sofalls within CFIUS’ jurisdiction, we may be required to make a mandatory filing or determine to submit a voluntary notice to CFIUS, or to proceed with the Business Combination without notifying CFIUS and risk CFIUS intervention, before or after closing the Business Combination.

Although we do not believe we or our sponsor are a “foreign person,” CFIUS may take a different view and decide to block or delay the Business Combination, impose conditions to mitigate national security concerns with respect to the Business Combination, order us to divest all or a portion of a U.S. business of the combined company if we had proceeded without first obtaining CFIUS clearance, or impose penalties if CFIUS believes that the mandatory notification requirement applied. Additionally, the laws and regulations of other U.S. government entities may impose review or approval procedures on account of any foreign ownership by the Sponsor. If we were to seek an initial business combination other potential targets. Thethan the Business Combination, the pool of potential targets with which we could complete an initial business combination may be limited as a result of any such regulatory restriction. Moreover, the process of any government review, whether by CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy, which could delaylengthy. Because we have only a limited time to complete the Business Combination, our abilityfailure to close our initial business combinationobtain any required approvals within the requisite time period which means we may be requiredrequire us to liquidate. We could make a mandatory filing or determineThis will also cause you to submit a voluntary notice to CFIUS, or to proceed withlose any potential investment opportunity in Target and the business combination without notifying CFIUS and risk CFIUS intervention, before or after closing the business combination.

Investments that involve the acquisitionchance of orrealizing future gains on your investment in, a U.S. business by a non-U.S. investor may be subject to U.S. laws that regulate foreign investments in U.S. businesses and access by foreign persons to technology developed and producedthrough any price appreciation in the United States. These laws include Section 721 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended by the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018, and the regulations at 31 C.F.R. Parts 800 and 802, as amended, administered by CFIUS.

Whether CFIUS has jurisdiction to review an acquisition or investment transaction depends on, among other factors, the nature and structure of the transaction, including the level of beneficial ownership interest and the nature of any information or governance rights involved. For example, investments that result in “control” of a “U.S. business” by a “foreign person” (in each case, as such terms are defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800) always are subject to CFIUS jurisdiction. Significant CFIUS reform legislation, which was fully implemented through regulations that became effective in 2020, expanded the scope of CFIUS’s jurisdiction to investments that do not result in control of a U.S. business by a foreign person, but afford certain foreign investors certain information or governance rights in a U.S. business that has a nexus to “critical technologies,” “covered investment critical infrastructure,” and/or “sensitive personal data” (in each case, as such terms are defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800).


Any business combination in which we engage may be subject to notification requirements and review by CFIUS or another U.S. governmental agency, and while we do not believe that notification to CFIUS regarding the Business Combination is required,combined company. Further, there canwould be no assurance that CFIUS or another U.S. governmental agency will not choose to review the Business Combination. Any review and approval of an investment or transaction by CFIUS may have outsized impacts on transaction certainty, timing, feasibility, and cost, among other things. CFIUS policies and agency practices are rapidly evolving, and, in the event that CFIUS reviews a business combination or one or more proposed or existing investments by investors, there can be no assurance that such investors will be able to maintain, or proceed with, such investments on terms acceptable to the parties to the transaction or such investors. Among other things, CFIUS could seek to impose limitations or restrictions on, or prohibit, investments by such investors (including, but not limited to, limits on purchasing Liberty common stock, limits on information sharing with such investors, requiring a voting trust, governance modifications, or forced divestiture, among other things).

If CFIUS elects to review a business combination, the time necessary to complete such review of the business combination or a decision by CFIUS to prohibit the business combination could prevent usdistribution from completing our initial business combination prior to the then applicable Extended Deadline. If we are not able to consummate a business combination by the applicable Extended Deadline, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem 100% of our public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to obligations to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law. In addition, if we fail to complete an initial business combination by the applicable Extended Deadline, there will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless.worthless in the event of our winding up. In the event of a liquidation, our Sponsor will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of its ownership of the Founder Shares and Private Placement Units.

 

The SEC issued proposed rules to regulate special purpose acquisition companies that, if adopted, may increase our costs and the time needed to complete our initial business combination.

With respect toOn January 24, 2024, the SEC issued rules (the “New SPAC Rules”) for the regulation of special purpose acquisition companies like the Company (“SPACsSPACs”), on March 30, 2022, the SEC issued proposed rules (the “SPAC Rule Proposals”) relating to, among other items, disclosures in business combination transactions involving SPACs and private operating companies; the condensed financial statement requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies; the use of projections by SPACs in SEC filings in connection with proposed business combinationBusiness Combination transactions; the potential liability of certain participants in proposed business combinationBusiness Combination transactions; and to the extent to which SPACs could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the Investment“Investment Company Act”Act”), including a proposed rule that would provide SPACs a safe harbor from treatment as an investment company if they satisfy certain conditions that limit a SPAC’s duration, asset composition, business purpose and activities.. These rules if adopted, whether in the form proposed or in a revised form,apply to us and may increase the costs of and the time needed to negotiate and complete an initial business combination, and may constrain the circumstances under which we could complete an initial business combination.

 

A new 1% U.S. federal excise tax could be imposed on us in connection with redemptions by us of our shares.

 

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases (including redemptions) of stock by publicly traded domestic (i.e., U.S.) corporations and certain domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax. The IR Act applies only to repurchases that occur after December 31, 2022.


Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a business combination or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent we would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a business combination would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the business combination, (ii) the structure of the business combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with the business combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with the business combination but issued within the same taxable year of the business combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by us and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. While we cannot use the proceeds from our IPO held in the Trust Account to pay taxes, we are permitted to use interest earned on the proceeds placed in the Trust Account to pay certain taxes, which could include any excise tax due under the IRA on any redemptions or stock buybacks by us.

If we are deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we would be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities would be severely restricted. As a result, in such circumstances, unless we are able to modify our activities so that we would not be deemed an investment company, we would expect to abandon our efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead to liquidate the Company.


As described further above, the New SPAC Rules relate, among other matters, to the circumstances in which SPACs such as the Company could potentially be subject to the Investment Company Act and the regulations. As a result, it is possible that a claim could be made that we have been operating as an unregistered investment company.

 

If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, our activities would be severely restricted. In addition, we would be subject to burdensome compliance requirements. We do not believe that our principal activities will subject us to regulation as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. However, if we are deemed to be an investment company and subject to compliance with and regulation under the Investment Company Act, we would be subject to additional regulatory burdens and expenses for which we have not allotted funds. As a result, unless we are able to modify our activities so that we would not be deemed an investment company, we would expect to abandon our efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead to liquidate the Company.

  

To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we will on or prior to the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of the IPO Registration Statementmay, at any time, instruct the trustee to liquidate the securities held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash until the earlier of the consummation of our initial business combination or our liquidation. As a result, following the liquidation of securities in the Trust Account, we would likely receive minimal interest, if any, on the funds held in the Trust Account, which would reduce the dollar amount our public shareholdersstockholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.

 

The funds in the Trust Account have, since our initial public offering, been held only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 180185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. government treasury obligations and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. However, to mitigate the risk of us being deemed to be an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act) and thus subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, we may, at any time, and we expect that we will, on or prior to the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement, instruct Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee with respect to the Trust Account, to liquidate the U.S. government treasury obligations or money market funds held in the Trust Account and thereafterafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash until the earlier of consummation of our initial business combination or liquidation of the Company. Following such liquidation, we would likely receive minimal interest, if any, on the funds held in the Trust Account. However, interest previously earned on the funds held in the Trust Account still may be released to us to pay our taxes, if any, and certain other expenses as permitted. As a result, any decision to liquidate the securities held in the Trust Account and thereafterafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash would reduce the dollar amount our public shareholdersstockholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.


In addition, even prior to the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement, we may be deemed to be an investment company. The longer that the funds in the Trust Account are held in short-term U.S. government treasury obligations or in money market funds invested exclusively in such securities, even prior to the 24-month anniversary, the greater the risk that we may be considered an unregistered investment company, in which case we may be required to liquidate the Company. Accordingly, we may determine, in our discretion, to liquidate the securities held in the Trust Account at any time, even prior to the 24-month anniversary, and instead hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash, which would further reduce the dollar amount our public shareholdersstockholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company, which is consistent with the Extended Deadline sought hereunder from May 8, 2023 to February 8, 2024 by up to nine (9) one-month extension elections, as specifically described herein.Company.

 

Since the Sponsor’s shareholders and our directors and officersSponsor will lose theirits entire investment in the Companyus if an initial business combination is not completed, theyit may have a conflict of interest in the approval of the proposals at the special meeting.Special Meeting.

 

There will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to the Company’s Founder Shares or the Private Placement Warrants,Units or their respective underlying warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up. In the event of a liquidation, the Sponsor’s shareholdersour Sponsor will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of theirits ownership of the2,875,000 Founder Shares that were issued to the Sponsor prior to our IPO and 530,275 Private Placement WarrantsUnits that were purchased by the Sponsor in a private placement which occurred simultaneously with the completion of ourthe IPO. Such personsAs a consequence, a liquidating distribution will be made only with respect to the public shares. In addition, certain of executive officers have beneficial interests in the Sponsor. The Sponsor has waived theirits rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to these securities, and all of such investments would expire worthless if an initial business combination is not consummated. Additionally, such personsthe Sponsor can earn a positive rate of return on its overall investment in the combined company after an initial business combination, even if other holders of our sharescommon stock experience a negative rate of return, due to the Sponsor having initially purchased the Founder Shares for an aggregate of $25,000. The personal and financial interests of our Sponsor, and our directors and officers may have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting Caspi and Markmorethe Target for its target business combination and consummating the Business Combination in order to close the Business Combination and therefore may have interests different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholderstockholder in connection with the proposals at the special meeting.Special Meeting.

 

Our Sponsor extended to us a line of credit of up to $300,000 pursuant to a Convertible Promissory Note dated April 22, 2021 (the “Sponsor Working Capital Loan”), which is to either be repaid upon the consummation of a business combination, without interest, or, at the Sponsor’s discretion, up converted upon consummation of a business combination into additional Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. In the event that a business combination does not close, we may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Sponsor Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Sponsor Working Capital Loans. As of September 30, 2022, the amount under the Sponsor Working Capital Loan was $178,198.

On November 8, 2022, we extended the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from November 8, 2022 to February 8, 2023 (the “First Extension”). On February 8, 2023, we further extended the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from February 8, 2023 to May 8, 2023 (the “Second Extension”). The First Extension and Second Extension were both permitted under the Existing Company Charter. In connection with the First Extension and Second Extension, the Sponsor deposited an aggregate of $2,300,000 (representing $0.10 per public share) into the Trust Account on November 8, 2022 and February 8, 2023, respectively, and we issued to the Sponsor a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note in that amount. In the event that a business combination does not close, we may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay this loan, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay this loan.


The completion of the Business Combination is subject to a number of important conditions, and the Business Combination Agreement may be terminated before the completion of the Business Combination in accordance with its terms. As a result, there is no assurance that the Business Combination will be completed.

The completion of the Business Combination is subject to the satisfaction or waiver, as applicable, of a number of important conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, including the approval of the Business Combination by the Liberty shareholders,our stockholders, the approval of the listing of the combined entity’s ordinary shares on Nasdaq, and several other customary closing conditions. If these conditions are not satisfied or, if the Business Combination Agreement is otherwise terminated by either party, we are unlikely to find another target for a business combination before the Extended Deadline.Effective Date.

 

We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs associated with the Business Combination. Whether or not the Business Combination is completed, the incurrence of these costs will reduce the amount of cash available to be used for other corporate purposes by us if the Business Combination is not completed.

 

CaspiWe and the CompanyTarget expect to incur significant transaction and transition costs associated with the Business Combination and operating as a public company following the closing of the Business Combination. CaspiWe and the CompanyTarget may also incur additional costs to retain key employees. Certain transaction expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, including all legal, accounting, consulting, investment banking and other fees, expenses and costs, will be paid by the combined company at or following the closing of the Business Combination. Even if the Business Combination is not completed, we expect to incur substantialcertain transaction expenses. These expenses will reduce the amount of cash available to be used for other corporate purposes by us if the Business Combination is not completed.

It may be more difficult to resell securities classified as “penny stock.”Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 in the event of a liquidation or in connection with redemptions of our common stock after December 31, 2022.

 

Our commonOn August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (H.R. 5376) (the “IRA”), which, among other things, imposes a 1% excise tax on any domestic corporation that repurchases its stock and warrants may be subject to “penny stock” rules (generally defined as non-exchange tradedafter December 31, 2022 (the “Excise Tax”). The Excise Tax is imposed on the fair market value of the repurchased stock, with certain exceptions. Because we are a per-share price below $5.00) inDelaware corporation and our securities will trade on Nasdaq, we will be a “covered corporation” within the future.meaning of the IRA following this offering. While not free from doubt, absent any further guidance from Congress, the Excise Tax may apply to any redemptions of our common stock after December 31, 2022, including redemptions in connection with an initial business combination and the Special Meeting, unless an exemption is available. Issuances of securities in connection with our initial business combination transaction (including any PIPE transaction at the time of our initial business combination) are expected to reduce the amount of the Excise Tax in connection with redemptions occurring in the same calendar year, but the number of securities redeemed may exceed the number of securities issued. Consequently, the Excise Tax may make a transaction with us less appealing to potential business combination targets. Further, the application of the Excise Tax in the event of a liquidation is uncertain.

Except for franchise taxes and income taxes, the proceeds placed in the trust account and the interest earned shall not be used to pay for possible excise tax or any other fees or taxes that may be levied on the Company under any current, pending or future rules or laws, including without limitation any excise tax due under the IRA on any redemptions or stock buybacks by the Company.

In the event the Founder Share Amendment is approved, Nasdaq may delist our securities from trading on its exchange, particularly following any stockholder redemption, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

We are subject to compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements in order to maintain the listing of our securities on Nasdaq. Such continued listing requirements include, among other things, the MVLS Requirement to comply with Listing Rule 5550(b)(2), requiring the Company to maintain market value of listed securities of at least $35 million for the previous thirty (30) consecutive trading days for continued listing on Nasdaq.

We expect that if our Liberty Class A Common Stock fails to meet Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, our units and warrants will also fail to meet Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements for those securities. We cannot assure you that any of our Liberty Class A Common Stock, units or warrants will be able to meet any of Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements. If our securities do not meet Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, Nasdaq may delist our securities from trading on its exchange.

If Nasdaq delists any of our securities from trading on its exchange and we are currently not considered “penny stock” since theyable to list such securities on another national securities exchange, we expect such securities could be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

·a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;
·a determination that our Liberty Class A Common Stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our Liberty Class A Common Stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities;
·a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and
·a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are listed on Nasdaq,referred to as “covered securities.” Our Liberty Class A Common stock, units and warrants qualify as covered securities under such statute. Although the states are preempted from regulating the sale of covered securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. While we are not aware of a state having used these powers to prohibit or restrict the sale of securities issued by special purpose acquisition companies, certain state securities regulators view blank check companies unfavorably and might use these powers, or threaten to use these powers, to hinder the sale of securities of blank check companies in their states. Further, if we are unable to maintain that listing and our common stock and warrants arewere no longer listed on Nasdaq, unless we maintain a per-share price above $5.00, our common stock and warrants will become “penny stock.” These rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that recommend the purchase or sale of penny stocks to persons other than those whosecurities would not qualify as “established customers” or “accredited investors.” For example, broker-dealers must determine the appropriateness for non-qualifying persons of investmentscovered securities under such statute and we would be subject to regulation in penny stocks. Broker-dealers must also provide, prior to a transactioneach state in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid andwhich we offer quotations for the penny stock, disclose the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, furnish monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account, provide a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser, and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction.our securities.

  

Legal remedies available to an investor in “penny stocks” may include the following:

 

·If a “penny stock” is sold to the investor in violation of the requirements listed above, or other federal or states securities laws, the investor may be able to cancel the purchase and receive a refund of the investment.

 

·If a “penny stock” is sold to the investor in a fraudulent manner, the investor may be able to sue the persons and firms that committed the fraud for damage

 

These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our securities, which could severely limit the market price and liquidity of our securities. These requirements may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock or our warrants and may affect your ability to resell our common stock and our warrants.


Many brokerage firms will discourage or refrain from recommending investments in penny stocks. Most institutional investors will not invest in penny stocks. In addition, many individual investors will not invest in penny stocks due, among other reasons, to the increased financial risk generally associated with these investments.

For these reasons, penny stocks may have a limited market and, consequently, limited liquidity. We can give no assurance at what time, if ever, our common stock or our warrants will not be classified as a “penny stock” in the future.

Penny stocks are generally considered to be high-risk investments. There are several factors that contribute to the high-risk nature of penny stocks, including:

·Volatility: Penny stocks are known for their extreme price fluctuations. This volatility can be caused by a number of factors, including changes in the overall stock market, news about the company or industry, and changes in investor sentiment.

·Lack of liquidity: Penny stocks are often traded on over-the-counter markets, which can make them more difficult to buy and sell. This lack of liquidity can increase the risk of large price swings and can make it difficult to exit a position if needed

·Lack of information: Many penny stock companies are not required to file regular reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which means there may be limited information available to investors. This can make it difficult to evaluate the financial health of the company and to make informed investment decisions.

·Manipulation: Because of their low trading volumes and lack of regulatory oversight, penny stocks can be vulnerable to market manipulation. This can include practices such as "pump and dump" schemes, where investors artificially inflate the price of a stock before selling their shares for a profit.

Overall, it's important to approach penny stocks with caution and to thoroughly research any investment before making a decision. It's also a good idea to diversify your portfolio and to limit your exposure to any one stock or sector.

Caspi Business Combination

 

As previously announced, we entered into the Business Combination Agreement on December 22, 2022 with Caspi and Merger Sub. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the parties agreed, subject to the terms and conditionsThe purpose of the Business Combination Agreement, to effect the Business Combination. For more information about the Business Combination, see our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 22, 2022 and our Registration Statement.

The Liberty Board believes it will not be able to effect the Business Combination by May 8, 2023. The Extension Amendment Proposal, and the Trust Amendment Proposal are essentialand, if necessary, the Adjournment Proposal, is to allowingallow us moreadditional time to obtain approval for any proposed business combination at a special meetingconsummate our Business Combination. The Company’s Board has determined that it is in the best interests of its shareholders and consummate any proposed business combination priorthe Company to the Extended Deadline and to reduce our cost to extendseek an extension of the Termination Date toand have the Extended Deadline. Approval ofCompany’s stockholders approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are conditions to the implementation of the Extension Amendment. The Liberty Board believes that, given the Company’s expenditure ofallow for additional time effort and money on a proposed business combination, circumstances warrant providing public shareholders an opportunity to effectconsummate the Business Combination. Without the Extension, the LibertyCompany believes that the Company will not be able to complete the Business Combination on or before the Termination Date. If that were to occur, the Company would be precluded from completing the Business Combination and would be forced to liquidate.

We are not aware of any material regulatory approvals or actions that are required for completion of the Business Combination. It is presently contemplated that if any such additional regulatory approvals or actions are required, those approvals or actions will be sought. There can be no assurance, however, that any additional approvals or actions will be obtained. This includes any potential review by a U.S. government entity, such as CFIUS, on account of certain foreign ownership restrictions on U.S. businesses.

CFIUS is an interagency committee authorized to review certain transactions involving foreign investment in the United States by foreign persons in order to determine the effect of such transactions on the national security of the United States. The scope of CFIUS was expanded by the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 (“FIRRMA”) to include certain non-passive, non-controlling investments in sensitive U.S. businesses and certain acquisitions of real estate even with no underlying U.S. business. FIRRMA, and subsequent implementing regulations that are now in force, also subject certain categories of investments to mandatory filings.

While we are using our best efforts to complete the Business Combination as soon as practicable, the Board believes that there will not be sufficient time before the Termination Date to complete the Business Combination. Accordingly, the Board believes that in order to be able to consummate the Business Combination, we will need to obtain the Extension. Without the Extension, the Board believes that there is significant risk that we might not, despite our best efforts, be able to complete the Business Combination on or before MayFebruary 8, 2023.2024. If that were to occur, we would be precluded from completing the Business Combination and would be forced to liquidate even if our shareholdersstockholders are otherwise in favor of consummating the Business Combination.

Because we have only a limited time to complete our initial business combination, even if we are able to effect the Extension, our failure to complete the Business Combination within the requisite time period may require us to liquidate. If we liquidate, our public stockholders may only receive $[__] per share, and our warrants will expire worthless. This will also cause you to lose any potential investment opportunity in a target company and the chance of realizing future gains on your investment through any price appreciation in the combined company.

 

You are not being asked to vote on the Business Combination or any other proposed business combination or any other business combination at this time. If the Extension is implemented and you do not elect to redeem your public shares, provided that you are a stockholder on the record date for a meeting to consider the Business Combination, you will retain the right to vote on any proposed business combination if andthe Business Combination when it is submitted to shareholdersstockholders and the right to redeem your public shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Accountcash in the event such business combinationthe Business Combination is approved and completed or if we have not consummated a business combinationBusiness Combination by the Extended Deadline.Date.

The Extension Amendment Proposal

We areCompany is proposing to amend the Existing Company Charter to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate an initial business combination to the Extended Deadline. Date.

The Extension Amendment Proposal isand the Trust Amendment Proposal are required for the implementation of the Liberty Board’s plan to change the structure and cost of the Company’s right to extend the date by whichallow the Company must consummate an initial business combination.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal isand the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved, our Sponsor determines not to fund any additional extension as permitted by the Charter, and we have not consummated the Business Combination by MayFebruary 8, 2023,2024, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafterafter subject to lawfully available funds, therefor, redeem 100% of the public shares in consideration of a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (net of taxes payable, less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), by (B) the total number of then outstanding public shares of Class A Common Stock, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of public shareholdersstockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholdersstockholders and the Liberty Board in accordance with applicable law, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law.

 

We reserve the right at any time to cancel the Special Meeting and not to submit to our stockholders the Extension Amendment Proposal and implement the Extension Amendment.

The Liberty Board believes that the Business Combination will provide significant benefits to our shareholders.stockholders. For more information about the Business Combination, see Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 22, 2022 and our Registration Statement.2022.

 

A copy of the proposed amendment to the Existing Company Charter of the Company is attached to this Proxy Statement in Annex A.

 

Vote Needed to Approve the Extension Amendment Proposal

The Existing Company Charter and the Company’s IPO prospectus provide that the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 65% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, including the Founder Shares and the shares of the Class A common stock underlying the Private Placement Units, is required to extend our corporate existence, except in connection with, and effective upon, consummation of a business combination. Additionally, the Existing Company Charter and our IPO prospectus provide for all public stockholders to have an opportunity to redeem their public shares in the case our corporate existence is extended as described above. Because we continue to believe that a business combination would be in the best interests of our stockholders, and because we will not be able to conclude a business combination within the permitted time period, the Liberty Board has determined to seek stockholder approval to extend the date by which we have to complete a business combination beyond May 8, 2023, to the Extended Deadline. We intend to hold another stockholder meeting prior to the Extended Deadline in order to seek stockholder approval of the Business Combination.

The Liberty Board will abandon and not implement the Extension Amendment Proposal unless our stockholders approve both the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal. This means that if one proposal is approved by the stockholders and the other proposal is not, neither proposal will take effect. Notwithstanding stockholder approval of the Extension Amendment and Trust Amendment, the Liberty Board will retain the right to abandon and not implement the Extension Amendment and Trust Amendment at any time without any further action by our stockholders.


Full Text of the Resolution to be Approved

“RESOLVED, that subject to and conditional upon the trust account, which is governed by the investment management trust agreement entered into between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company on November 8, 2021, having net tangible assets of at least US $5,000,001 as at the date of this resolution, the first amendment to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation, a copy of which is attached to the accompanying proxy statement as Annex A, be and is hereby adopted.”

Reasons for the Redemption Rights Associated with the Extension Amendment Proposal

The Existing Company Charter provides that if our shareholders approve an amendment to the Existing Company Charter (i) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete a business combination before May 8, 2023, or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity, we will provide our public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their shares upon such approval at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares. We believe that this provision of the Existing Company Charter was included to protect our public shareholders from having to sustain their investments for an unreasonably long period if we failed to find a suitable business combination in the timeframe contemplated by the Existing Company Charter and discussed in the prospectus associated with our IPO.

Reasons for the Extension Amendment Proposal

 

Pursuant to the Existing CompanyThe Charter, as previously amended, provides that the Company currently has until MayFebruary 8, 20232024, to complete the purposes of the Company including, but not limited to, effecting a business combination under its terms, unless extended as specifically providedwith the proceeds deposited in the Existing Company Charter.Trust Account (representing $10.15 per public share). The purpose of the Extension Amendment is to change the structure and cost of the Company’s right to extend the date by whichallow the Company must consummate anmore time to complete its initial business combination and to provide that if any Extended Deadline ends on a day that is not a business day, such Extended Deadline will be automatically extended to the next succeeding business day. combination.

As previously announced, we entered into the Business Combination Agreement with Caspi on December 22, 2022. Pursuant toUnder the Business Combination Agreement, the parties agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, to effect the Business Combination.

If the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are approved and implemented, but is not obligated to, extend the period in which the Company must complete the initial business combination up to nine more times, each by an additional one month, for an aggregate of up to nine additional months, provided that the Company or the Sponsor (or any of either of their affiliates or designees) will deposit, on or prior to the Deadline Date, into the Trust Fund the lesser of (x) $150,000 or (y) $0.05 per share for each public share outstanding as of the applicable Deadline Date for each extension.

While we are using our best efforts to complete the Business Combination as soon as practicable, the Liberty Board believes that there will not be sufficient time before the Termination Date to complete the Business Combination. Accordingly, the Liberty Board believes that in order to be able to consummate the Business Combination, we will need to changeobtain the structure and cost of the Company’s right to extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination.

If the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are approved and implemented, the Company may, but is not obligated to, extend the period in which the Company must complete the initial business combination up to nine more times, each by an additional one month, for an aggregate of up to nine additional months, provided that the Company or the Sponsor (or any of either of their affiliates or designees) will deposit, on or prior to the Deadline Date, into the Trust Fund the lesser of (x) $150,000 or (y) $0.05 per share for each public share outstanding as of the applicable Deadline Date for each extension.


The Liberty Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to have the Company’s shareholders approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal to allow for additional time to consummate the Business Combination and to reduce our cost to extend the Termination Date to the Extended Deadline.Extension. Without the Extension, the CompanyBoard believes that the Company willthere is significant risk that we might not, despite our best efforts, be able to complete the Business Combination on or before the Termination Date.February 8, 2024. If that were to occur, the Companywe would be precluded from completing the Business Combination and would be forced to liquidate.liquidate even if our stockholders are otherwise in favor of consummating the Business Combination.

 

WithIf the Extension is approved and implemented, subject to satisfaction of the conditions to closing in the Business Combination Agreement (including, without limitation, receipt of stockholder approval of the Business Combination), we intend to complete the Business Combination as soon as possible and in any event on or before the Extended Date.

The Company’s IPO prospectus and Charter provide that the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 65% of all outstanding shares of common stock, including the Founder Shares, is required to extend our corporate existence, except in connection with, and effective upon, consummation of a business combination. Additionally, our IPO prospectus and Charter provide for all public stockholders to have an opportunity to redeem their public shares in the case our corporate existence is extended as described above. Because we continue to believe that a business combination would be in the best interests of our stockholders, and because we will not be able to conclude a business combination within the permitted time period, the Board has determined to seek stockholder approval to extend the date by which we have to complete a business combination beyond February 8, 2024 to the Extended Date. We intend to hold another stockholder meeting prior to the Extended Date in order to seek stockholder approval of the Business Combination.

We believe that the foregoing Charter provision was included to protect Company stockholders from having to sustain their investments for an unreasonably long period if the Company failed to find a suitable business combination in the timeframe contemplated by the Charter. We also believe that, given the Company’s expenditure of time, effort and money on finding a business combination and our entry into the Business Combination Agreement with respect to the Business Combination, circumstances warrant providing public stockholders an opportunity to consider the Business Combination.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is Not Approved

Ifand the ExtensionTrust Amendment Proposal isare not approved, our Sponsor determines not to fund any additional extension as permitted by the Charter, and we have not consummated the Business Combination by MayFebruary 8, 2023,2024, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafterafter subject to lawfully available funds, therefor, redeem 100% of the public shares in consideration of a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (net of taxes payable, less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), by (B) the total number of then outstanding public shares of Class A Common Stock, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of public shareholdersstockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholdersstockholders and the Liberty Board in accordance with applicable law, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law. However, our Sponsor has the right under our existing Charter to extend the date to November 7, 2024, by making an additional deposit of $35,000 into the Trust Account.

 

There will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless in the event we wind up.

Notwithstanding stockholder approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal, our Board will retain the right to abandon and not implement the Extension at any time without any further action by our stockholders, subject to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. We reserve the right at any time to cancel the Special Meeting and not to submit to our stockholders the Extension Amendment Proposal and implement the Extension Amendment. In the event the Special Meeting is cancelled, we will dissolve and liquidate in accordance with the Charter. 

You are not being asked to vote on the Business Combination at this time. If the Extension is implemented and you do not elect to redeem your public shares, provided that you are a stockholder on the record date for a meeting to consider the Business Combination, you will retain the right to vote on the Business Combination when it is submitted to stockholders and the right to redeem your public shares for cash in the event the Business Combination is approved and completed or we have not consummated a business combination by the Extended Date.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, our Sponsor or its designees has agreed to loan to us the lesser of $35,000 or $0.03 per share for each one-month extension up to a maximum of $10,350,000 for a total of nine one-month extensions until November 7, 2024, unless the Closing of the Company’s initial business combination shall have occurred (the “Extension Loan”), which amount will be deposited into the Trust Account. The Extension Loan is conditioned upon the implementation of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal. The Extension Loan will not occur if the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved, or the Extension is not completed. The Extension Loan will not bear interest and will be repayable upon consummation of a Business Combination. If the sponsor or its designees advises us that it does not intend to make the Extension Loan, then the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal will not be put before the stockholders at the Special Meeting and, unless the Company can complete the Business Combination by November 7, 2024, we will dissolve and liquidate in accordance with our Charter.

The Extension Amendment Proposal is conditioned upon the implementation of the Extension Payment. No Extension Payment will occur if the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved. The Extension Payment will not bear interest and will be repayable by the Company to the Sponsor or its designees upon consummation of the Business Combination. If the Company opts not to utilize the Extension Amendment, then the Company will liquidate and dissolve promptly in accordance with the Charter, and the Sponsor’s obligation to make additional contributions will terminate.

 

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, and the Extension is implemented, the removal of the Withdrawal Amount from the Trust Account in connection with redemptions associated with the Redemption Election will reduce the amount held in the Trust Account. The Company cannot predict the amount that will remain in the Trust Account if the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, and the amount remaining in the Trust Account may be only a small fraction of the approximately $121.72 million$42,456,172 held in the Trust Account as of March 16, 2023. We cannot assure you that the per share distribution from the Trust Account, if we liquidate, will not be less than $10.58 due to unforeseen claims of creditors. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up. In the event of a liquidation, our Sponsor’s shareholders and our directors and officers, the sole holders of our Founder Shares, will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of their ownership of the Founder Shares.January 30, 2024.

 

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved but we do not consummate a business combination by the Extended Deadline, unless further extended, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses, and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board, liquidate and dissolve, subject to our obligations to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law.

TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS, YOU MUST SUBMIT A REQUEST IN WRITING THAT WE REDEEM YOUR PUBLIC SHARES FOR CASH TO CONTINENTAL STOCK TRANSFER & TRUST COMPANY AT THE ADDRESS BELOW, AND, AT THE SAME TIME, ENSURE YOUR BANK OR BROKER COMPLIES WITH THE REQUIREMENTS IDENTIFIED ELSEWHERE, HEREIN, INCLUDING DELIVERING YOUR SHARES TO THE TRANSFER AGENT PRIOR TO THE VOTE ON THE EXTENSION AMENDMENT PROPOSAL PRIOR TO 5:00 PMP.M. EASTERN TIME ON APRIL 14, 2023.FEBRUARY 8, 2024.


In connection with tendering your shares for redemption, prior to 5:00 pm.p.m. Eastern time on April 14, 2023February 8, 2024 (two business days before the special meeting)Special Meeting), you must elect either:

to deliver your shares to the transfer agent electronically using DTC’s DWAC system, which election would likely be determined based on the manner in which you hold your shares. The requirement for physical or electronic delivery prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on April 14, 2023February 6, 2024 (two business days before the special meeting)Special Meeting) ensures that a redeeming holder’s election is irrevocable once the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved. In furtherance of such irrevocable election, shareholdersstockholders making the election will not be able to tender their shares after the vote at the special meeting.Special Meeting.

 

Through the DWAC system, this electronic delivery process can be accomplished by the shareholder,stockholder, whether or not it is a record holder or its shares are held in “street name,” by contacting the transfer agent or its broker and requesting delivery of its shares through the DWAC system. Delivering shares physically may take significantly longer. In order to obtain a physical sharestock certificate, a shareholder’sstockholder’s broker and/or clearing broker, DTC, and the Company’s transfer agent will need to act together to facilitate this request. There is a nominal cost associated with the above-referenced tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The transfer agent will typically charge the tendering broker $100 and the broker would determine whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming holder.

It is the Company’s understanding that shareholdersstockholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. The Company does not have any control over this process or over the brokers or DTC, and it may take longer than two weeks to obtain a physical sharestock certificate. Such shareholdersstockholders will have less time to make their redemptioninvestment decision than those shareholdersstockholders that deliver their shares through the DWAC system. ShareholdersStockholders who request physical sharestock certificates and wish to redeem may be unable to meet the deadline for tendering their shares before exercising their redemption rights and thus will be unable to redeem their shares.

 

Certificates that have not been tendered in accordance with these procedures prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on April 14, 2023February 6, 2024 (two business days before the special meeting)Special Meeting) will not be redeemed for cash held in the Trust Account on the redemption date. In the event that a public shareholderstockholder tenders its shares and decides prior to the vote at the special meetingSpecial Meeting that it does not want to redeem its shares, the shareholderstockholder may withdraw the tender. If you delivered your shares for redemption to our transfer agent and decide prior to the vote at the special meetingSpecial Meeting not to redeem your public shares, you may request that our transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically).

You may make such request by contacting our transfer agent at the address listed above. In the event that a public shareholderstockholder tenders shares and the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved, these shares will not be redeemed and the physical certificates representing these shares will be returned to the shareholderstockholder promptly following the determination that the Extension Amendment Proposal will not be approved. The Company anticipates that a public shareholderstockholder who tenders shares for redemption in connection with the vote to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal would receive payment of the redemption price for such shares soon after the completion of the Extension Amendment. The transfer agent will hold the certificates of public shareholdersstockholders that make the election until such shares are redeemed for cash or returned to such shareholders.stockholders.

 

If properly demanded, the Company will redeem each public share for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. Based upon the current amount in the Trust Account, the Company anticipates that the per-share price at which public shares will be redeemed from cash held in the Trust Account will be approximately $10.58$[__] at the time of the special meeting.Special Meeting. The closing price of the Company’s Class A common stockCommon Stock on the record date was $10.48.$11.09.

 

If you exercise your redemption rights, you will be exchanging your shares of the Company’s Class A common stockCommon Stock for cash and will no longer own the shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you properly demand redemption and tender your sharestock certificate(s) to the Company’s transfer agent prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on April 14, 2023February 6, 2024 (two business days before the special meeting)Special Meeting). The Company anticipates that a public shareholderstockholder who tenders shares for redemption in connection with the vote to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal would receive payment of the redemption price for such shares soon after the completion of the Extension Amendment.Extension.


THE TRUST AMENDMENT PROPOSAL

Vote Required for Approval

 

The Trust Amendment Proposal

We are proposingaffirmative vote by holders of at least 65% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, including the Founder Shares, is required to amend the Trust Agreement to conform the procedures in the Trust Agreement by which the Company may extend the date on which Continental must liquidate the Trust Account if the Company has not completed its initial business combination to the procedures inapprove the Extension Amendment.

Amendment Proposal. If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal isare not approved, the Extension Amendment and we haveTrust Amendment will not consummatedbe implemented and, if the Business Combination has not been consummated by MayFebruary 8, 2023, we2024, as may be extended to November 7, 2024 by our Sponsor in accordance with the Charter, the Company will be required by its Charter to (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafterafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor,fund, redeem 100% of the public shares in consideration of a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (net of taxes payable, less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), by (B) the total number of then outstanding public shares of Class A Common Stock, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of public shareholdersstockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholdersstockholders and the Liberty Board in accordance with applicable law, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law. Stockholder approval of the Extension Amendment is required for the implementation of our Board’s plan to extend the date by which we must consummate our initial business combination. Therefore, our Board will abandon and not implement such amendment unless our stockholders approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal.

  

Pursuant toOur Board will abandon and not implement the Extension Amendment Proposal unless our stockholders approve both the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Agreement, Continental agreed to liquidate the Trust Account after receipt of a Termination Letter (as defined therein) from the Company or upon the date whichAmendment Proposal. This means that if one proposal is the later of (i) up-to 18 months after the closing of the Offering, and (ii) such later date as may be approved by the stockholders and the other proposal is not, neither proposal will take effect. Notwithstanding stockholder approval of the Extension Amendment and Trust Amendment, our Board will retain the right to abandon and not implement the Extension Amendment and Trust Amendment at any time without any further action by our stockholders.

Our Sponsor is expected to vote any common stock owned by it in favor of the Extension Amendment Proposal. On the record date, our Sponsor beneficially owned and was entitled to vote an aggregate of 2,875,000 Founder Shares and 530,275 Private Placement Units, representing approximately 39.73% of the Company’s shareholders.issued and outstanding common stock. Our Sponsor does not intend to purchase Class A Common Stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions in connection with the stockholder vote on the Extension Amendment.

Interests of our Sponsor, Directors and Officers

When you consider the recommendation of our Board, you should keep in mind that our Sponsor, executive officers, and members of our Board and special advisors have interests that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder. These interests include, among other things:

the fact that our Sponsor holds 2,875,000 Founder Shares and 530,275 Private Placement Units. In addition, certain of our executive officers have beneficial interests in the Sponsor. All of such investments would expire worthless if a business combination is not consummated; on the other hand, if a business combination is consummated, such investments could earn a positive rate of return on their overall investment in the combined company, even if other holders of our common stock experience a negative rate of return, due to having initially purchased the Founder Shares for $25,000;
the fact that, if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, the Sponsor has agreed to indemnify us to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.15 per public share, or such lesser per public share amount as is in the Trust Account on the liquidation date, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which we have entered into an acquisition agreement or claims of any third party for services rendered or products sold to us, but only if such a third party or target business has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account; and
the fact that none of our officers or directors has received any cash compensation for services rendered to the Company, and all of the current members of our Board are expected to continue to serve as directors at least through the date of the special meeting to vote on a Business Combination and may even continue to serve following any potential business combination and receive compensation thereafter.

 

The LibertyBoard’s Reasons for the Extension Amendment Proposal and Its Recommendation

As discussed below, after careful consideration of all relevant factors, our Board believeshas determined that given our expenditure of time, effort and money on the Business Combination, circumstances warrant providing public shareholders an opportunity to consider the Business Combination and that itExtension Amendment is in the best interests of our shareholdersthe Company and its stockholders. Our Board has approved and declared advisable adoption of the Extension Amendment Proposal and recommends that we obtain the Trust Amendment. The Liberty Board believes that the Business Combination will provide significant benefits to our shareholders. For more information about the Business Combination, see Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 22, 2022 and our Registration Statement.you vote “FOR” such proposal.

 

Vote Needed to Approve the Trust Amendment Proposal

The Trust AgreementOur Charter provides that the affirmative vote ofCompany has until February 8, 2024, to complete the holders of at least 65% of the total issued and outstanding sharespurposes of the Company is requiredincluding, but not limited to, amendeffecting a business combination under its terms with the relevant provisions of the Trust Agreement.

Reasons for the Trust Amendment Proposal

The Trust Agreement provides that Continental will liquidateproceeds deposited in the Trust Account after receipt of a Termination Letter (as defined therein) from the Company or upon the date which is the later of (i) up-to 18 months after the closing of the Offering and (ii) such later date as may be approved by the Company’s shareholders. The purpose of the Trust Amendment is to conform the procedures in the Trust Agreement by which the Company may extend the date on which Continental must liquidate the Trust Account if the Company has not completed its initial business combination, to the procedures in the Extension Amendment. (representing $10.15 per public share).

As previously announced, we entered into the Business Combination Agreement with Caspi on December 22, 2022. Pursuant toUnder the Business Combination Agreement, the parties agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, to effect the Business Combination.

While we are using our best efforts to complete the Business Combination as soon as practicable, the Liberty Board believes that there will not be sufficient time before the Termination Date to complete the Business Combination. Accordingly, the Liberty Board believes that in order to be able to consummate the Business Combination, we will need to obtain the Trust Amendment.


IfExtension. Without the Extension, the Board believes that there is approved and implemented, subject to satisfaction of the conditions to closing in the Business Combination Agreement (including, without limitation, receipt of shareholder approval of the Business Combination),significant risk that we intendmight not, despite our best efforts, be able to complete the Business Combination as soon as possible and in any event on or before the Extended Deadline.

Full Text of the Resolution to be Approved

“RESOLVED THAT subject to and conditional upon the Trust Account, which is governed by Trust Agreement, having net tangible assets of at least US$5,000,001 as at the date of this resolution, the Trust Agreement be amended in the form set forth in Annex B to the accompanying proxy statement to allow the Company to extend the date by which the Company has to complete a business combination from May 8, 2023 to February 8, 2024 via nine (9) one-month extensions provided the Company deposits into its trust account the lesser of (x) $150,000 or (y) $0.05 per share for each public share outstanding as of the applicable Deadline Date for each such one-month extension until February 8, 2024 unless the closing of the Company’s initial business combination shall have occurred.”

2024. If the Trust Amendment Proposal is Not Approved

If the Trust Amendment Proposal is not approved andthat were to occur, we have not consummatedwould be precluded from completing the Business Combination by May 8, 2023, we will (i) cease all operations except forand would be forced to liquidate even if our stockholders are otherwise in favor of consummating the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but notBusiness Combination. For more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the public shares in consideration of a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (net of taxes payable, less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), by (B) the total number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of public shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the Liberty Board in accordance with applicable law, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law.

There will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless in the event we wind up. In the event of a liquidation, our Sponsor’s shareholders will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of their ownership of the Founder Shares.

If the Trust Amendment Proposal Is Approved

Upon approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal by the requisite number of votes, the amendments to the Trust Agreement to conform the procedures in the Trust Agreement by which the Company may extend the date on which Continental must liquidate the Trust Account if the Company has not completed its initial business combination, to the procedures in the Extension Amendment will be made to the Trust Agreement so that the provisions of the Trust Agreement mirror what is in the Existing Company Charter as amended by the Extension Amendment.

UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONSDecember 22, 2022.

 

The following discussion summarizes certain United States federal income tax considerations generally applicable to U.S. Holders (as defined below) who elect to have their Class A common stock redeemed for cash pursuant to the exercise of a right to redemption in connection with a Redemption Election.

This discussion is limited to certain United States federal income tax considerations to such U.S. Holders who hold shares of the Class A common stock as a capital asset under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

This discussion is a summary only and does not consider all aspects of United States federal income taxation that may be relevant to a U.S. Holder exercising its right to redemption in light of such holder’s particular circumstances, including tax consequences to U.S. Holders who are:

financial institutions or financial services entities;

broker-dealers;

taxpayers that are subject to the mark-to-market accounting rules;

tax-exempt entities;

governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;

insurance companies;

regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;

expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States;

persons that actually or constructively own five percent or more of our voting shares or five percent or more of the total value of any class of our shares;

persons that acquired our securities pursuant to an exercise of employee share options, in connection with employee share incentive plans or otherwise as compensation;

persons that hold our securities as part of a straddle, constructive sale, hedging, conversion or other integrated or similar transaction;

partnerships (or entities or arrangements treated as partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes), or persons holding Liberty securities through such partnerships or other pass-through entities; or

persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.

This discussion is based on the Code, proposed, temporary and final Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code, and judicial and administrative interpretations thereof, all as of the date hereof. All of the foregoing is subject to change, which change could apply retroactively and could affect the tax considerations described herein. This discussion does not address U.S. federal taxes other than those pertaining to U.S. federal income taxation (such as estate or gift taxes, the alternative minimum tax or the Medicare tax on investment income), nor does it address any aspects of U.S. state or local or non-U.S. taxation.

We have not sought and do not intend to seek any rulings from the IRS regarding the Business Combination or an exercise of redemption rights by holders of Class A common stock. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not take positions inconsistent with the considerations discussed below or that any such positions would not be sustained by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulations, administrative rulings or court decisions will not change the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.


As used herein, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of Class A common stock or warrants who or that is for United States federal income tax purposes: (i) an individual citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes) that is created or organized (or treated as created or organized) in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source or (iv) a trust if (A) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (B) it has in effect a valid election to be treated as a U.S. person.

This discussion does not consider the tax treatment of partnerships or other pass-through entities or persons who hold our securities through such entities. If a partnership (or other entity or arrangement classified as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes) is the beneficial owner of our securities, the United States federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships holding our securities and partners in such partnerships are urged to consult their own tax advisors.

THIS DISCUSSION IS ONLY A SUMMARY OF CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH AN ELECTION. EACH REDEEMING U.S. HOLDER IS URGED TO CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH U.S. HOLDER OF THE EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS THROUGH AN ELECTION, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, AND NON-U.S. TAX LAWS.

Redemption as Sale or Distribution

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, in the event that a U.S. Holder’s Class A common stock are redeemed pursuant to a Redemption Election, the treatment of the transaction for United States federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of the Class A common stock under Section 302 of the Code. If the redemption qualifies as a sale of Class A common stock, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss and any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for such Class A common stock exceeds one year. It is unclear, however, whether certain redemption rights described in the IPO prospectus may suspend the running of the applicable holding period for this purpose. If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of the Class A common stock, it will be treated as a corporate distribution. In that case, the U.S. Holder generally will be required to include in gross income as a dividend the amount of the distribution to the extent the distribution is paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under United States federal income tax principles). To the extent those distributions exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits, they will constitute a return of capital, which will first reduce your basis in your shares of the Class A common stock, but not below zero, and then will be treated as gain from the sale of your Class A common stock.

Whether a redemption pursuant to a Redemption Election qualifies for sale treatment will depend largely on the total number of Class A common stock treated as held by the U.S. Holder (including any Class A common stock constructively owned by the U.S. Holder as a result of owning warrants) relative to all of our shares outstanding both before and after such redemption. The redemption generally will be treated as a sale of Class A common stock (rather than as a corporate distribution) if such redemption (i) is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the U.S. Holder, (ii) results in a “complete termination” of the U.S. Holder’s interest in us or (iii) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the U.S. Holder. These tests are explained more fully below.

In determining whether any of the foregoing tests are satisfied, a U.S. Holder takes into account not only our shares actually owned by the U.S. Holder, but also our shares that are constructively owned by such holder. A U.S. Holder may constructively own, in addition to shares owned directly, shares owned by certain related individuals and entities in which the U.S. Holder has an interest or that have an interest in such U.S. Holder, as well as any shares the U.S. Holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which would generally include shares of the Class A common stock which could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of the warrants. In order to meet the substantially disproportionate test, the percentage of our outstanding voting shares actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder immediately following the redemption of Class A common stock must, among other requirements, be less than 80 percent of the percentage of our outstanding voting shares actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder immediately before the redemption.


Prior to the Business Combination, the Class A common stock may not be treated as voting shares for this purpose and, consequently, this substantially disproportionate test may not be applicable. There will be a complete termination of a U.S. Holder’s interest if either (i) all of the Class A common stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder are redeemed or (ii) all of the Class A common stock actually owned by the U.S. Holder are redeemed and the U.S. Holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of Class A common stock owned by certain family members and the U.S. Holder does not constructively own any other of our shares. The redemption of the Class A common stock will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if such redemption results in a “meaningful reduction” of the U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in us. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in us will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. However, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority shareholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.”

If none of the foregoing tests are satisfied, then the redemption will be treated as a corporate distribution as described above. A U.S. Holder considering exercising its redemption right should consult its own tax advisor as to whether the redemption will be treated as a sale or as a corporate distribution under the Code.

Passive Foreign Investment Company (“PFIC”) Rules

A non-U.S. corporation will be classified as a PFIC for United States federal income tax purposes if either (i) at least 75% of its gross income in a taxable year, including its pro rata share of the gross income of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the shares by value, is passive income or (ii) at least 50% of its assets in a taxable year (ordinarily determined based on fair market value and averaged quarterly over the year), including its pro rata share of the assets of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the shares by value, are held for the production of, or produce, passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents and royalties (other than rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business) and gains from the disposition of passive assets.

Because we are a blank check company, with no current active business, we believe that it is likely that we met the PFIC asset or income test for our taxable year ending December 31, 2021 and that we will meet the PFIC asset or income test for our current taxable year ending December 31, 2022. Accordingly, if a U.S. Holder did not make a timely qualified electing fund (“QEF”) election or a mark-to-market election for our first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) shares of the Class A common stock, as described below, such U.S. Holder generally will be subject to special rules with respect to (i) any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its Class A common stock or warrants, which would include a redemption pursuant to a Redemption Election if such redemption is treated as a sale under the rules discussed above, and (ii) any “excess distribution” made to the U.S. Holder (generally, any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a taxable year of the U.S. Holder that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the Class A common stock during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter, such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Class A common stock), which may include a redemption pursuant to a Redemption Election if such redemption is treated as a corporate distribution under the rules discussed above. Under these rules:

the U.S. Holder’s gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Class A common stock or warrants;

the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which the U.S. Holder recognized the gain or received the excess distribution, or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holding period before the first day of our first taxable year in which we are a PFIC, will be taxed as ordinary income;

the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and applicable to the U.S. Holder; and

an additional tax equal to the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the U.S. Holder with respect to the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of the U.S. Holder.

QEF Redemption Election

A U.S. Holder will avoid the PFIC tax consequences described above in respect to shares of the Class A common stock (but not our warrants) by making a timely and valid QEF election (if eligible to do so) to include in income its pro rata share of our net capital gains (as long-term capital gain) and other earnings and profits (as ordinary income), on a current basis, in each case whether or not distributed, in the taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which or with which our taxable year ends. A U.S. Holder generally may make a separate election to defer the payment of taxes on undistributed income inclusions under the QEF rules, but if deferred, any such taxes will be subject to an interest charge.

If a U.S. Holder has made a QEF election with respect to Class A common stock for our first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder holds (or is deemed to hold) such shares, (i) any gain recognized as a result of a redemption pursuant to a Redemption Election (if such redemption is treated as a sale under the rules discussed above) generally will be taxable as capital gain and no additional tax will be imposed under the PFIC rules, and (ii) to the extent such redemption is treated as a distribution under the rules discussed above, any distribution of ordinary earnings that were previously included in income generally should not be taxable as a dividend to such U.S. Holder. The tax basis of a U.S. Holder’s shares in a QEF will be increased by amounts that are included in income and decreased by amounts distributed but not taxed as dividends under the above rules. Similar basis adjustments apply to property if by reason of holding such property, the U.S. Holder is treated under the applicable attribution rules as owning shares in a QEF.

The QEF election is made on a shareholder-by-shareholder basis and, once made, can be revoked only with the consent of the IRS. A U.S. Holder may not make a QEF election with respect to its warrants to acquire shares of the Class A common stock. A U.S. Holder generally makes a QEF election by attaching a completed IRS Form 8621 (Information Return by a Shareholder of a Passive Foreign Investment Company or Qualified Electing Fund), including the information provided in a PFIC annual information statement, to a timely filed United States federal income tax return for the tax year to which the election relates. Retroactive QEF elections generally may be made only by filing a protective statement with such return and if certain other conditions are met or with the consent of the IRS. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability and tax consequences of a retroactive QEF election under their particular circumstances.

If a U.S. Holder makes a QEF election after our first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) Class A common stock, the adverse PFIC tax consequences (with adjustments to take into account any current income inclusions resulting from the QEF election) will continue to apply with respect to such shares of the Class A common stock unless the U.S. Holder makes a purging election under the PFIC rules. Under the purging election, the U.S. Holder will be deemed to have sold such Class A common stock at their fair market value and any gain recognized on such deemed sale will be treated as an excess distribution, taxed under the PFIC rules described above. As a result of the purging election, the U.S. Holder will have a new basis and holding period in such Class A common stock for purposes of the PFIC rules.

In order to comply with the requirements of a QEF election, a U.S. Holder must receive a PFIC annual information statement from us. There is no assurance that we will timely provide such required information statement.

Mark-to-Market Redemption Election

If we are a PFIC and Class A common stock constitute marketable stock, a U.S. Holder may avoid the adverse PFIC tax consequences discussed above if such U.S. Holder, at the close of the first taxable year in which it holds (or is deemed to hold) Class A common stock, makes a mark-to-market election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. Such U.S. Holder generally will include for each of its taxable years as ordinary income the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its Class A common stock at the end of such year over its adjusted basis in its Class A common stock. The U.S. Holder also will recognize an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of its adjusted basis of its Class A common stock over the fair market value of its Class A common stock at the end of its taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the mark-to-market election). The U.S. Holder’s basis in its Class A common stock will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts, and any further gain recognized on a sale or other taxable disposition of its Class A common stock will be treated as ordinary income. Currently, a mark-to-market election may not be made with respect to warrants.


The mark-to-market election is available only for marketable stock, generally, stock that is regularly traded on a national securities exchange that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Nasdaq, or on a foreign exchange or market that the IRS determines has rules sufficient to ensure that the market price represents a legitimate and sound fair market value. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability and tax consequences of a mark-to-market election in respect to our shares under their particular circumstances.

A U.S. Holder that owns (or is deemed to own) shares in a PFIC during any taxable year of the U.S. Holder, may have to file an IRS Form 8621 (whether or not a QEF or mark-to-market election is made) and such other information as may be required by the U.S. Treasury Department. Failure to do so, if required, will extend the statute of limitations until such required information is furnished to the IRS.

The rules dealing with PFICs and with the QEF and mark-to-market elections are very complex and are affected by various factors in addition to those described above. Accordingly, U.S. Holders of Class A common stock or warrants should consult their own tax advisors concerning the application of the PFIC rules under their particular circumstances.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Dividend payments with respect to Class A common stock and proceeds from the sale, exchange or redemption of Class A common stock may be subject to information reporting to the IRS and possible United States backup withholding. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes other required certifications, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding and establishes such exempt status.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, and a U.S. Holder generally may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by timely filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS and furnishing any required information. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of backup withholding and the availability of and procedure for obtaining an exemption from backup withholding in their particular circumstances.


THE special meeting

Overview

Date, Time and Place. The special meeting of the Company’s shareholders will be held at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on April 18, 2023 via live webcast. You will be able to attend, vote your shares and submit questions during the special meeting via a live webcast available at https://www.cstproxy.com/libertyresourcesacquisition/2023. If you plan to attend the virtual online special meeting, you will need your 12-digit control number to vote electronically at the special meeting. Only shareholders who own shares as of the close of business on the record date will be entitled to attend the meeting.

Voting Power; record date. You will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the special meeting, if you owned the Company’s shares at the close of business on March 16, 2023, the record date for the special meeting. You will have one vote per proposal for each of the Company’s shares you owned at that time. The Company’s warrants do not carry voting rights.

Votes Required. Approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal will require the affirmative vote of holders of at least 65% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, including the Founder Shares and the Class A common stock included in the Private Placement Units, who, being present and entitled to vote at the special meeting, vote on the Extension Amendment Proposal at the special meeting, and the Trust Amendment Proposal will require the affirmative vote of holders of at least 65% of the outstanding Company’s common stock, including the Class common stock and the Founder Shares.

If you are the record holder of your shares and you do not sign and return your proxy or attend the special meeting in person, your shares will not be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established. If you hold your shares in “street name” through an account at a brokerage firm, custodian bank, or other nominee and you do not instruct your broker, bank or nominee on how to vote your shares, your shares will be counted as present at the special meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present, but your broker, bank or nominee will not be able to vote your shares and your shares will count as broker non-votes.

Abstentions, broker non-votes and the failure of a record holder to appear at the special meeting either in person or by proxy will have the same effect as votes “AGAINST” the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal. If a quorum is present at the special meeting, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the vote to approve the Adjournment Proposal.

At the close of business on the record date of the special meeting, there were 14,905,275 common stock outstanding, each of which entitles its holder to cast one vote per proposal. The presence of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares either in person or represented by proxy is necessary to constitute a quorum for the special meeting.

If you do not want the Extension Amendment Proposal approved, you must abstain, not vote or vote “AGAINST” the Extension Amendment. If you do not want the Trust Amendment Proposal approved, you must abstain, not vote, or vote “AGAINST” the Trust Amendment. You will be entitled to redeem your public shares for cash in connection with this vote whether or not you vote on the Extension Amendment Proposal and/or the Trust Amendment Proposal so long as you elect to redeem your public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust Account in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal. The Company anticipates that a public shareholder who tenders shares for redemption in connection with the vote to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal would receive payment of the redemption price for such shares soon after the completion of the Extension Amendment Proposal.

Recommendation of the Board. After careful consideration, the Liberty Board determined that each of the proposals is fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Liberty Board has approved and declared advisable and recommends that you vote or give instructions to vote “FOR” each of these proposals.

Vote Required for Approval

The affirmative vote of holders of at least 65% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, including the Class A common stock and the Founder Shares, will be required to approve both the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal. If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved, the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment will not be implemented. If the Business Combination has not been consummated by May 8, 2023, the Company will be required by the Existing Company Charter to (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the public shares in consideration of a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (net of taxes payable, less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), by (B) the total number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of public shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the Liberty Board in accordance with applicable law, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law.

Shareholder approval of both the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment is required for the implementation of the Liberty Board’s plan to change the structure and cost of the Company’s right to extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination. Therefore, the Liberty Board will abandon and not implement such amendment unless our shareholders approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal.


On the record date, our Sponsor’s shareholders beneficially owned and were entitled to vote an aggregate of 2,875,000 Founder Shares and 530,275 shares of the Class A common stock underlying the Private Placement Units, representing approximately 22.8% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares. Our Sponsor and our directors and officers do not intend to purchase shares of the Class A common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions in connection with the shareholder vote on the Extension Amendment and/or the Trust Amendment. We expect all of the Sponsor’s shareholders to vote in favor of the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, though they are not required to do so.

Interests of our Sponsor, Directors and Officers

When you consider the recommendation of the Liberty Board, you should keep in mind that our Sponsor, our Sponsor’s shareholders and members of the Liberty Board have interests that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholder. These interests include, among other things:

the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for the 2,875,000 Liberty Class B Common Stock currently owned by the Sponsor’s shareholders and our directors and officers, and such securities will have a significantly higher value after the Business Combination. As of March 16, 2023, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the aggregate market value of these shares, if unrestricted and freely tradable, would be $30,417,500, based upon a closing price of $10.58 per public share on Nasdaq on March 16, 2023 (and will have zero value if neither the Business Combination nor any other business combination is completed on or before the Final Redemption Date);

the Sponsor owns 530,275 Private Placement Units (purchased for $5,302,750), which include warrants that may become exercisable in the future if a business combination is consummated but would expire worthless if a business combination is not consummated;

the Sponsor extended to us a line of credit of up to $300,000 pursuant to a Convertible Promissory Note dated April 22, 2021 (the “Sponsor Working Capital Loan”), which is to either be repaid upon the consummation of a business combination, without interest, or, at the Sponsor’s discretion, up converted upon consummation of a business combination into additional Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Sponsor Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Sponsor Working Capital Loans. As of September 30, 2022, the amount under the Sponsor Working Capital Loan was $178,198;

on November 8, 2022, we extended the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from November 8, 2022 to February 8, 2023 (the “First Extension”). On February 8, 2023, we further extended the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from February 8, 2023 to May 8, 2023 (the “Second Extension”). The First Extension and Second Extension were both permitted under the Existing Company Charter. In connection with the First Extension and Second Extension, the Sponsor deposited an aggregate of $2,300,000 (representing $0.10 per public share) into the Trust Account on November 8, 2022 and February 8, 2023, respectively, and we issued to the Sponsor a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note in that amount.  In the event that a business combination does not close, we may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay this loan, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay this loan;

our directors and officers have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to Company shares (other than public shares) held by them for no consideration;

with respect to redemptions, holders of Founder Shares may have different incentives than holders of the Company’s Class A common stock with respect to the completion of any proposed business combination and/or the exercise of a right to redeem. In particular, holders of Founder Shares are not entitled to participate in any redemption with respect to such shares. The value of the Founder Shares is dependent on our consummation of a business combination. In the event that we do not consummate a business combination, the Founder Shares would be rendered valueless. Holders of the Company’s Class A common stock, on the other hand, will ultimately be entitled to exercise redemption rights and receive the value of their redeemed shares even if we do not complete a business combination. Therefore, the interests of holders of Founder Shares and Class A common stock may not be aligned;

the Sponsor’s shareholders and our officers and directors will lose their entire investment in the Company and will not be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses if we do not consummate an initial business combination by the Final Redemption Date;

if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event that we are unable to complete an initial business combination, the Sponsor has agreed that it will indemnify the Company if and to the extent that any claims by a third party (other than the independent public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below the lesser of (i) $10.15 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, if less than $10.15 per public share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such indemnification will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the trust account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act; and

our directors and officers may enter into future compensatory arrangements with Caspi and/or Markmore or any other business combination target after the closing of the Business Combination.

Liberty Board’s Reasons for the Extension Amendment Proposal and Trust Amendment Proposal and Its Recommendation

As discussed below, after careful consideration of all relevant factors, the Liberty Board has determined that the Extension Amendment and Trust Amendment are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Liberty Board has approved and declared advisable adoption of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal and recommends that you vote “FOR” such proposals.

The Existing Company Charter provides that the Company has until May 8, 2023 to complete the purposes of the Company including, but not limited to, effecting a business combination under its terms. The Existing Company Charter states that if the Company’s shareholdersstockholders approve an amendment to the Existing Company Charter that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Company’s public shares if it does not complete a business combination before MayFebruary 8, 2023,2024, the Company will provide its public shareholdersstockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon such approval at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. We believe that this Charter provision in the Existing Company Charter was included to protect the Company public shareholdersstockholders from having to sustain their investments for an unreasonably long period if the Company failed to find a suitable initial business combination in the timeframe contemplated by the Existing Company Charter.

 

IfIn addition, the Extension AmendmentCompany’s IPO prospectus and Charter provide that the Trust Amendment are approved and implemented,affirmative vote of the Company may, butholders of at least 65% of all outstanding shares of common stock, including the Founder Shares, is not obligatedrequired to extend our corporate existence, except in connection with, and effective upon the period in which the Company must complete the initialconsummation of, a business combination up to nine more times, each by an additional one month, for an aggregate of up to nine additional months, provided that the Company or the Sponsor (or any of either of their affiliates or designees) will deposit, on or prior to the Deadline Date, into the Trust Fund the lesser of (x) $150,000 or (y) $0.05 per share for each public share outstanding as of the applicable Deadline Date for each extension.


combination. We believe that, given the Company’s expenditure of time, effort and money on finding an initiala business combination and our entry into the Business Combination Agreement with Caspi with respect to the Business Combination, circumstances warrant providing public shareholdersstockholders an opportunity to consider the Business Combination. Because we continue to believe that thea Business Combination would be in the best interests of our shareholders,stockholders, the Liberty Board has determined to seek shareholderstockholder approval ofto extend the Extension Amendment.date by which we have to complete a business combination beyond February 8, 2024 to the Extended Date, in the event we cannot consummate the Business Combination by February 8, 2024.

 

The Company is not asking you to vote on the Business Combination at this time. If the Extension is implemented and you do not elect to redeem your public shares, you will retain the right to vote on the Business Combination in the future and the right to redeem your public shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, in the event the Business Combination is approved and completed or the Company has not consummated another business combination by the Extended Deadline. Date. For more information about the Business Combination, see our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 22, 2022.

After careful consideration of all relevant factors, the Liberty Board determined that the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment areis in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.stockholders.

 

The LibertyRecommendation of the Board

Our Board unanimously recommends that our shareholdersstockholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal.

UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following discussion is a summary of certain United States federal income tax considerations for holders of our Class A Common Stock with respect to the exercise of redemption rights in connection with the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal. This summary is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which we refer to as the “Code,” the regulations promulgated by the U.S. Treasury Department, current administrative interpretations and practices of the Internal Revenue Service, which we refer to as the “IRS,” and judicial decisions, all as currently in effect and all of which are subject to differing interpretations or to change, possibly with retroactive effect. No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain a position contrary to any of the tax considerations described below. This summary does not discuss all aspects of United States federal income taxation that may be important to particular investors in light of their individual circumstances, such as investors subject to special tax rules (e.g., financial institutions, insurance companies, mutual funds, pension plans, S corporations, broker-dealers, traders in securities that elect mark-to-market treatment, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, trusts and estates, partnerships and their partners, and tax-exempt organizations (including private foundations)) and investors that will hold Class A Common Stock as part of a “straddle,” “hedge,” “conversion,” “synthetic security,” “constructive ownership transaction,” “constructive sale,” or other integrated transaction for United States federal income tax purposes, investors subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code, U.S. Holders (as defined below) that have a functional currency other than the United States dollar, U.S. expatriates, investors that actually or constructively own 5 percent or more of the Class A Common Stock of the Company, and Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below, and except as otherwise discussed below), all of whom may be subject to tax rules that differ materially from those summarized below. In addition, this summary does not discuss any state, local, or non-United States tax considerations, any non-income tax (such as gift or estate tax) considerations, alternative minimum tax or the Medicare tax. In addition, this summary is limited to investors that hold our Class A Common Stock as “capital assets” (generally, property held for investment) under the Code.

If a partnership (including an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes) holds our Class A Common Stock, the tax treatment of a partner in such partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner level. If you are a partner of a partnership holding our Class A Common Stock, you are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of a redemption.

WE URGE HOLDERS OF OUR CLASS A COMMON STOCK CONTEMPLATING EXERCISE OF THEIR REDEMPTION RIGHTS TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND FOREIGN INCOME AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES THEREOF.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations to U.S. Holders

This section is addressed to U.S. Holders of our Class A Common Stock that elect to have their Class A Common Stock of the Company redeemed for cash. For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner that so redeems its Class A Common Stock of the Company and is:

an individual who is a United States citizen or resident of the United States;
a corporation (including an entity treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state or the District of Columbia;
an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or
a trust (A) the administration of which is subject to the primary supervision of a United States court and which has one or more United States persons (within the meaning of the Code) who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (B) that has in effect a valid election under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.

Redemption of Class A Common Stock

In the event that a U.S. Holder’s Class A Common Stock of the Company is redeemed, the treatment of the transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of the Class A Common Stock under Section 302 of the Code. Whether the redemption qualifies for sale treatment will depend largely on the total number of shares of our stock treated as held by the U.S. Holder (including any stock constructively owned by the U.S. Holder as a result of owning warrants) relative to all of our shares both before and after the redemption. The redemption of Class A Common Stock generally will be treated as a sale of the Class A Common Stock (rather than as a distribution) if the redemption (i) is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the U.S. Holder, (ii) results in a “complete termination” of the U.S. Holder’s interest in us or (iii) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the U.S. Holder. These tests are explained more fully below.

In determining whether any of the foregoing tests are satisfied, a U.S. Holder takes into account not only stock actually owned by the U.S. Holder, but also shares of our stock that are constructively owned by it. A U.S. Holder may constructively own, in addition to stock owned directly, stock owned by certain related individuals and entities in which the U.S. Holder has an interest or that have an interest in such U.S. Holder, as well as any stock the U.S. Holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which would generally include Class A common stock which could be acquired under the exercise of the warrants. In order to meet the substantially disproportionate test, the percentage of our outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder immediately following the redemption of Class A Common Stock must, among other requirements, be less than 80% of our outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder immediately before the redemption. There will be a complete termination of a U.S. Holder’s interest if either (i) all of the shares of our stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder are redeemed or (ii) all of the shares of our stock actually owned by the U.S. Holder are redeemed and the U.S. Holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of stock owned by certain family members and the U.S. Holder does not constructively own any other stock. The redemption of the Class A Common Stock will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if a U.S. Holder’s conversion results in a “meaningful reduction” of the U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in us. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in us will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. However, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority stockholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.”

If none of the foregoing tests are satisfied, then the redemption will be treated as a distribution and the tax effects will be as described below under “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations to U.S. Holders — Taxation of Distributions.”

U.S. Holders of our Class A Common Stock considering exercising their redemption rights should consult their own tax advisors as to whether the redemption of their Class A Common Stock of the Company will be treated as a sale or as a distribution under the Code.

Gain or Loss on a Redemption of Class A Common Stock Treated as a Sale

If the redemption qualifies as a sale of Class A Common Stock, a U.S. Holder must treat any gain or loss recognized as capital gain or loss. Any such capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Class A Common Stock so disposed of exceeds one year. Generally, a U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the amount of cash received in such redemption (or, if the Class A Common Stock is held as part of a unit at the time of the disposition, the portion of the amount realized on such disposition that is allocated to the Class A Common Stock based upon the then fair market values of the Class A Common Stock and the one warrant included in the unit) and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Class A Common Stock so redeemed. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Class A Common Stock generally will equal the U.S. Holder’s acquisition cost (that is, the portion of the purchase price of a unit allocated to a share of Class A Common Stock or the U.S. Holder’s initial basis for Class A Common Stock upon exercise of a whole warrant) less any prior distributions treated as a return of capital. Long-term capital gain realized by a non-corporate U.S. Holder generally will be taxable at a reduced rate. The deduction of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Taxation of Distributions

If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of Class A Common Stock, the U.S. Holder will be treated as receiving a distribution. In general, any distributions to U.S. Holders generally will constitute dividends for United States federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under United States federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our Class A Common Stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the Class A Common Stock and will be treated as described under “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations to U.S. Holders — Gain or Loss on a Redemption of Class A Common Stock Treated as a Sale.” Dividends we pay to a U.S. Holder that is a taxable corporation generally will qualify for the dividends received deduction if the requisite holding period is satisfied. With certain exceptions, and provided certain holding period requirements are met, dividends we pay to a non-corporate U.S. Holder generally will constitute “qualified dividends” that will be taxable at a reduced rate.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations to Non-U.S. Holders

This section is addressed to Non-U.S. Holders of our Class A common stock that elect to have their Class A Common Stock of the Company redeemed for cash. For purposes of this discussion, a “Non-U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner (other than a partnership) that so redeems its Class A Common Stock of the Company and is not a U.S. Holder.

Redemption of Class A Common Stock

The characterization for United States federal income tax purposes of the redemption of a Non-U.S. Holder’s Class A Common Stock generally will correspond to the United States federal income tax characterization of such a redemption of a U.S. Holder’s Class A Common Stock, as described under “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations to U.S. Holders.”

Non-U.S. Holders of our Class A Common Stock considering exercising their redemption rights should consult their own tax advisors as to whether the redemption of their Class A Common Stock of the Company will be treated as a sale or as a distribution under the Code.

Gain or Loss on a Redemption of Class A Common Stock Treated as a Sale

If the redemption qualifies as a sale of Class A Common Stock, a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to United States federal income or withholding tax in respect of gain recognized on a sale of its Class A Common Stock of the Company, unless:

the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the Non-U.S. Holder within the United States (and, under certain income tax treaties, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder), in which case the Non-U.S. Holder will generally be subject to the same treatment as a U.S. Holder with respect to the redemption, and a corporate Non-U.S. Holder may be subject to the branch profits tax at a 30% rate (or lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty);
the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year in which the redemption takes place and certain other conditions are met, in which case the Non-U.S. Holder will be subject to a 30% tax on the individual’s net capital gain for the year; or
we are or have been a “U.S. real property holding corporation” for United States federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition or the period that the Non-U.S. Holder held our Class A Common Stock, and, in the case where shares of our Class A Common Stock are regularly traded on an established securities market, the Non-U.S. Holder has owned, directly or constructively, more than 5% of our Class A Common Stock at any time within the shorter of the five-year period preceding the disposition or such Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares of our Class A Common Stock. We do not believe we are or have been a U.S. real property holding corporation.

Taxation of Distributions

If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of Class A Common Stock, the Non-U.S. Holder will be treated as receiving a distribution. In general, any distributions we make to a Non-U.S. Holder of shares of our Class A Common Stock, to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under United States federal income tax principles), will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, provided such dividends are not effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States, we will be required to withhold tax from the gross amount of the dividend at a rate of 30%, unless such Non-U.S. Holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate. Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing (but not below zero) the Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares of our Class A Common Stock and, to the extent such distribution exceeds the Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis, as gain realized from the sale or other disposition of the Class A Common Stock, which will be treated as described under “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations to Non-U.S. Holders — Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock.” Dividends we pay to a Non-U.S. Holder that are effectively connected with such Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States generally will not be subject to United States withholding tax, provided such Non-U.S. Holder complies with certain certification and disclosure requirements. Instead, such dividends generally will be subject to United States federal income tax, net of certain deductions, at the same graduated individual or corporate rates applicable to U.S. Holders (subject to an exemption or reduction in such tax as may be provided by an applicable income tax treaty). If the Non-U.S. Holder is a corporation, dividends that are effectively connected income may also be subject to a “branch profits tax” at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty).

As previously noted above, the foregoing discussion of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences is included for general information purposes only and is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, legal or tax advice to any stockholder. We once again urge you to consult with your own tax adviser to determine the particular tax consequences to you (including the application and effect of any U.S. federal, state, local or foreign income or other tax laws) of the receipt of cash in exchange for shares in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal.

THE TRUST AMENDMENT PROPOSAL

The Trust Amendment

The proposed Trust Amendment would amend our existing Investment Management Trust Agreement (as amended to date, the “Trust Agreement”), dated as of November 8, 2021, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”), (i) allowing the Company to extend the Business Combination period from February 8, 2024 to November 7, 2024 (the “Trust Amendment”) and (ii) updating certain defined terms in the Trust Agreement. A copy of the proposed Trust Amendment is attached to this proxy statement as Annex B. All stockholders are encouraged to read the proposed amendment in its entirety for a more complete description of its terms.

Reasons for the Trust Amendment

The purpose of the Trust Amendment is to give the Company the right to extend the Business Combination period from February 8, 2024, to November 7, 2024 and to update certain defined terms in the Trust Agreement.

The Company’s current Trust Agreement provides that the Company has until 15 months (or up to 18 months if the Company extends the period of time as described in more detail in the IPO prospectus) after the closing of the IPO, and such later date as may be approved by the Company’s stockholders in accordance with the Charter to terminate the Trust Agreement and liquidate the Trust Account. The Trust Amendment will make it clear that the Company has until the Extended Termination Date, as defined in the Extension Amendment, to terminate the Trust Agreement and liquidate the Trust Account. The Trust Amendment also ensures that certain terms and definitions as used in the Trust Agreement are revised and updated according to the Extension Amendment.

If the Trust Amendment is not approved and we do not consummate an initial Business Combination by February 8, 2024 (subject to the requirements of law), as such date may be extended to March 24, 2024, under the current Trust Agreement, we will be required to dissolve and liquidate our trust account by returning the then remaining funds (less up to $100,000 of the net interest to pay dissolution expenses) in such account to the public stockholders, and our warrants to purchase common stock will expire worthless.

If the Trust Amendment Is Approved

If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, the amendment to the Trust Agreement in the form of Annex B will be executed and the Trust Account will not be disbursed except in connection with our completion of the Business Combination or in connection with our liquidation if we do not complete an initial business combination by the applicable termination date. The Company will then continue to attempt to consummate a business combination until the applicable Extended Termination Date or until the Company’s Board of Directors determines in its sole discretion that it will not be able to consummate an initial business combination by the applicable Extended Termination Date and does not wish to seek an additional extension.

Vote Required for Approval

The affirmative vote of holders of at least 65% of the outstanding shares of our common stock is required to approve the Trust Amendment. Broker non-votes, abstentions or the failure to vote on the Trust Amendment will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Trust Amendment.

Our Board will abandon and not implement the Trust Amendment Proposal unless our stockholders approve both the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal. This means that if one proposal is approved by the stockholders and the other proposal is not, neither proposal will take effect. Notwithstanding stockholder approval of the Extension Amendment and Trust Amendment, our Board will retain the right to abandon and not implement the Extension Amendment and Trust Amendment at any time without any further action by our stockholders.

Our Sponsor is expected to vote any common stock owned by it in favor of the Trust Amendment Proposal. On the record date, our Sponsor beneficially owned and was entitled to vote an aggregate of 2,875,000 Founder Shares and 530,275 Private Placement Units, representing approximately 39.73% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Our Sponsor does not intend to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions in connection with the stockholder vote on the Trust Amendment.


You are not being asked to vote on any business combination at this time. If the Trust Amendment is implemented and you do not elect to redeem your public shares now, you will retain the right to vote on a Business Combination when it is submitted to stockholders and the right to redeem your public shares into a pro rata portion of the Trust Account in the event a business combination is approved and completed (as long as your election is made at least two (2) business days prior to the meeting at which the stockholders’ vote is sought) or the Company has not consummated the Business Combination by the Extended Termination Date.

Recommendation of the Board

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT OUR STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE TRUST AMENDMENT PROPOSAL.

THE FOUNDER SHARE AMENDMENT PROPOSAL

Overview

In addition to the Extension Amendment, the Company is proposing to amend the Charter, substantially in the form set forth in Annex A attached, to allow for the conversion of the Class B Common Stock to Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis at any point prior to a Business Combination at the option of the holder (the “Founder Share Amendment”). Upon conversion of the Class B Common Stock to Class A Common Stock, such Class A Common Stock will not be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account through redemptions or otherwise.

Reasons for the Founder Share Amendment

The Charter provides that the Class B Common Stock converts automatically to Class A Common Stock upon the consummation of a business combination on a one-to-one basis. The purpose of the Founder Share Amendment is to allow conversion of the Founder Shares at any time prior to the Business Combination at the option of the holder.

Such conversions would give the Company further flexibility to consummate the Business Combination. Accordingly, the Board believes that in order to be able to consummate the Business Combination, the Sponsor will need to convert such Class B Common Stock to Class A Common Stock.

Required Vote

The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding Class B Common Stock voting as a separate class is required to approve the Founder Share Amendment requires the affirmative vote of the majority of votes cast by stockholders represented online or by proxy at the Special Meeting.

If the Founder Share Amendment Proposal are not approved, the Sponsor or other holders of Class B Common Stock will not be permitted to convert such shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock before the completion of the Business Combination. Similarly, Section 141(f) of the DGCL will remain applicable to the actions of the Board and its committees.

The Sponsor and all of the Company’s directors, executive officers and their affiliates are expected to vote any Common Stock owned by them in favor of the Founder Share Amendment Proposal. Since the Class B Common Stock represents a majority of both the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock voting together as a single class and the Sponsor holds 2,875,000 shares of the Class B Common Stock, we expect the Founder Share Amendment Proposal to be approved. Upon conversion of the Class B Common Stock to Class A Common Stock, such Class A Common Stock will not be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account through redemptions or otherwise.

Recommendation of the Board

As discussed above, after careful consideration of all relevant factors, our Board has determined that the Founder Share Amendment Proposal is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Our Board has approved and declared advisable the adoption of the Founder Share Amendment Proposal.

OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE FOUNDER SHARE AMENDMENT PROPOSAL.

The existence of financial and personal interests of our directors and officers may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of the directors or officers between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that stockholders vote for the proposals. See the section entitled “Interests of the Liberty’s Sponsor, Directors and Officers” for a further discussion.

The Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 2,865,000 Private Placement Warrants for a purchase price of $1.00 per whole warrant, or $2,865,000 in the aggregate, in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the closing of the Liberty IPO. Each Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Liberty Class A Ordinary Share at $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Private Placement Warrants (including the Liberty Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holder until 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination. In accordance with one of the permitted exceptions to the restrictions on transfer of the Private Placement Warrants, promptly after the completion of the Liberty IPO, the Sponsor distributed all of the Private Placement Warrants to its shareholders as described below. Therefore, the Sponsor itself no longer holds any of the Private Placement Warrants, and all of the Private Placement Warrants are held by the Sponsor’s shareholders.

 

Prior to the Liberty IPO, the Sponsor raised capital to fund transaction expenses for the Liberty IPO by issuing redeemable preference shares in the Sponsor that entitled the investors to proceeds from the sale by the Sponsor of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants or Liberty Class A common stock upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants after the consummation of Liberty’s initial business combination. In consultation with their tax advisors, the Sponsor and its investors determined that it would be advantageous for the Sponsor’s investors’ tax purposes if the Sponsor distributed its Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor’s investors promptly after the Liberty IPO closing, so accordingly promptly after the Liberty IPO closing the Sponsor distributed all its remaining Founder Shares and all of its Private Placement Warrants to its investors in a non-cash transaction.
