Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
As previously disclosed, Pivotal Investment Corporation III (the “Company”) had called a special meeting (the “Meeting”) for stockholders to consider and vote on a proposal (the “Extension Proposal”) to extend the time for the Company to consummate an initial business combination from August 11, 2023 to February 11, 2024 or such earlier liquidation and dissolution date as the Company’s board of directors may approve (the “Extension”). The Meeting was originally scheduled for August 2, 2023. On August 2, 2023, the Company adjourned the Meeting to August 11, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. to allow additional time for the Company to engage with its stockholders and effectuate redemption reversals.
Based on the number of public shares that stockholders were seeking to redeem for cash and other factors that it deemed relevant, the Company’s management determined that the Extension was no longer in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Accordingly, on August 11, 2023, the Company reconvened the Meeting and then closed the Meeting without considering any business.
As a result, the Company expects to redeem 100% of its outstanding public shares in accordance with the terms of its current amended and restated certificate of incorporation.
