Item 8.01. | Other Events. |
On February 16, 2023, Silver Spike Acquisition Corp II (“SSPK”) filed a definitive proxy statement (the “Extension Proxy Statement”) for an extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders to be held on March 6, 2023 (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”) to consider and act upon a proposal to extend the date (the “Termination Date”) by which SSPK must complete an initial business combination to June 15, 2023 (the “Articles Extension Date”) and to allow SSPK, without the need for another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date to consummate a business combination on a monthly basis, for up to nine times, by an additional one month each time, after the Articles Extension Date, by resolution of SSPK’s board of directors, if requested by Silver Spike Sponsor II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The Extension Proxy Statement was mailed to SSPK shareholders of record as of February 13, 2023. Shareholders may obtain a copy of the Extension Proxy Statement at the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov).
SSPK intends to open and promptly adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting until 12:00 PM ET on March 10, 2023 in order to allow additional time for SSPK to engage with its shareholders. All SSPK shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 13, 2023 are entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. SSPK shareholders who have not already voted, or wish to change their vote, are strongly encouraged to submit their proxies as soon as possible. Valid proxies submitted by shareholders prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting will continue to be valid for purposes of the rescheduled Extraordinary General Meeting. For more information on how to vote, please call SSPK’s proxy solicitor, Morrow Sodali, at (800) 662-5200 for shareholders or (203) 658-9400 for bankers and brokers or email SPKB.info@investor.morrowsodali.com.
