As a result of stockholder approval of the Extension and the Company’s implementation thereof, on November 14, 2022, the Company issued a promissory note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of up to $955,748.46 to Maquia Investments North America, LLC (the “Sponsor”), pursuant to which the Sponsor loaned to the Company up to an aggregate of $955,748.46 (the “Extension Funds”) to deposit into the Company’s trust account for each share of the Company’s Class A common stock (“Public Share”) that was not redeemed in connection with the Extension.
The Company will cause the Extension Funds to be deposited into the Trust Account, which equates to approximately $0.045 per non-redeemed Public Share, for each month past November 7, 2022 until May 7, 2023 that the Company needs to complete an Initial Business Combination.
