Item 5.03. | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
As previously disclosed, at a special meeting in lieu of the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders held on December 15, 2022 (the “Special Meeting”), the stockholders of Bite Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) approved alternative proposals to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Charter”) to (i) extend the date by which the Company has to consummate an initial business combination from February 17, 2023 to up to August 17, 2023 (the “Extension Charter Amendment Proposal”) or (ii) change the date by which the Company has to complete an initial business combination to the time and date immediately following the filing of the amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Termination Charter Amendment Proposal”). The Company also previously disclosed that it would issue a Current Report on Form 8-K to report its decision on whether or not to implement the Extension Charter Amendment Proposal or the Termination Charter Amendment proposal. On December 19, 2022, the Company determined to implement the Extension Charter Amendment Proposal.
Accordingly, as approved by its stockholders at the Special Meeting, the Company filed an amendment to its Charter with the Delaware Secretary of State on December 19, 2022 (the “Charter Amendment”), to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate an initial business combination (the “Business Combination”) from February 17, 2023 (the “Termination Date”) to August 17, 2023, by electing to extend the date to consummate an initial business combination on a monthly basis for up to six times by an additional one month each time after the Termination Date, until August 17, 2023 or a total of up to six months after the Termination Date, or such earlier date as determined by the board of directors of the Company, unless the closing of the Company’s initial business combination shall have occurred, provided that Smart Dine, LLC (the “sponsor”) (or its affiliates or permitted designees) will deposit into a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders (the “Trust Account”) an amount determined by multiplying $0.05 by the number of public shares then outstanding, up to a maximum of $150,000 for each such one-month extension unless the closing of the Company’s initial business combination shall have occurred in exchange for a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note payable upon consummation of a business combination. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Charter Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
