Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On April 19, 2023, Crescera Capital Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 19, 2023 and mailed to shareholders on April 19, 2023 (the “Proxy Statement”) for the solicitation of proxies in connection with a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders to be held on May 16, 2023 (the “Shareholder Meeting”), as supplemented on April 20, 2023.
On May 16, 2023, Crescera Capital Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) held an extraordinary general meeting of the Company’s shareholders (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”). At the Extraordinary General Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved amendments (the “Articles Amendment”) to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Articles”) to: (i) extend the date (the “Termination Date”) by which the Company has to consummate an initial business combination from May 23, 2023 (the date which is 18 months from the closing date of the Company’s initial public offering of shares of Class A shares) (the “IPO”) (the “Original Termination Date”) to November 23, 2023 (the date which is 24 months from the closing date of the Company’s IPO) (the “Articles Extension Date”), or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board of directors (“Board”), and to allow the Board, without another shareholder vote, to extend the period of time to consummate the initial business combination for an additional 6 months after the Articles Extension Date on the same terms as the Original Extension Right (as defined in the Proxy Statement) as contemplated by the IPO prospectus and in accordance with the Articles, if requested by CC Sponsor LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until May 23, 2024 (the date which is 30 months from the closing date of the Company’s IPO) (the “Additional Articles Extension Date”), or a total of twelve months after the Original Termination Date, as provided by the first resolution in the form set forth in Annex A to the Proxy Statement (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”); (ii) eliminate from the Articles the limitation that the Company should not redeem Class A Ordinary Shares included as part of the units sold in the IPO (including any shares issued in exchange thereof, the “Public Shares”) to the extent that such redemption would cause the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 (the “Redemption Limitation”, the “Redemption Limitation Amendment” and such proposal, the “Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal”). The Redemption Limitation Amendment would allow the Company to redeem Public Shares irrespective of whether such redemption would exceed the Redemption Limitation; (iii) provide that the Class B Ordinary Shares may be converted either at the time of the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination or at any earlier date at the option of the holders of the Class B Ordinary Shares (the “Founder Conversion Amendment” and such proposal, the “Founder Conversion Amendment Proposal”); and, if necessary; (iv) (a) to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Shareholder Meeting, there are insufficient Class A Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 per share and Class B Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 per share in the capital of the Company represented (either in person or by proxy) to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal, or the Founder Conversion Amendment Proposal, (b) if the holders of Public Shares (as defined below) have elected to redeem an amount of shares in connection with the Extension Amendment such that the Company would not adhere to the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), or (c) if the Company determines before the Shareholder Meeting that it is not necessary or no longer desirable to proceed with the other proposals (the “Adjournment Proposal”), including in the event that the Company has elected to exercise the Original Extension Right.
