The Company recommends all of its stockholders to vote FOR the Extension at the upcoming Special Meeting.
New York, NY, November 17, 2022 — Kingswood Acquisition Corp. (“we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”) today announced that it is adjourning its special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) from November 18, 2022, to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on November 23, 2022. The Special Meeting, which was originally scheduled for November 18, 2022, is being adjourned in order to solicit more votes toward the approval to further amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (“Extension Amendment”) to extend the period of time available to complete a business combination, until May 24, 2023. The Extension Amendment would effectively provide for an additional six months, to complete an initial business combination. The Company plans to continue to solicit proxies for the Special Meeting until November 23, 2022.
The record date for the stockholders’ meeting to vote on the Extension Amendment remains the close of business on October 11, 2022 (the “Record Date”). Stockholders who have previously submitted their proxy or otherwise voted and who do not want to change their vote need not take any action. Stockholders as of the Record Date can vote, even if they have subsequently sold their shares. In connection with the adjourned date, the Company has further extended the deadline for holders of the Company’s Class A common stock issued in the Company’s initial public offering to submit their shares for redemption in connection with the Extension Amendment to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on November 21, 2022. Stockholders who wish to withdraw their previously submitted redemption request may do so prior to the rescheduled meeting by requesting that the transfer agent return such shares.
