Item 8.01. | Other Events. |
On June 7, 2023, the Company determined to postpone the Company’s special meeting of its stockholders (the “Special Meeting”), originally scheduled to be held on June 8, 2023, to allow additional time for the Company to engage with its stockholders and solicit redemption reversals.
The Special Meeting will now be held on Monday, June 12, 2023 at 10:00 a.m., Eastern time. There is no change to the location or the record date of the Special Meeting. The live webcast for the Special Meeting will be available by visiting https://www.cstproxy.com/trajectoryalpha/2023.
On June 7, 2023, the Company filed a supplement (the “Proxy Supplement”) to its proxy statement dated May 25, 2023 in connection with the Special Meeting. The Proxy Supplement announces a change in the terms of the funds to be deposited into the Company’s trust account in connection with each one-month extension.

Stockholders who have previously submitted shares for redemption or who have voted by proxy do not need to do anything prior to the Special Meeting unless they change their decision as to redemption or voting.
