A press release describing the postponement of the special meeting to approve the Extension Proposal described in Item 8.01 is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
| Item 8.01. | Other Events. |
On December 28, 2022, Broad Capital Acquisition Corp (the “Company”) filed a Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A (the “Proxy Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) with respect to a special meeting of the Company’s shareholders, scheduled to occur on January 9, 2023 (the “Special Meeting”), to vote on, among other things, a proposal to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a business combination (the “Extension”) from January 13, 2023 (the “Termination Date”) to October 13, 2023 (the “Extension Proposal”) by electing to extend the date to consummate a business combination on a monthly basis for up to nine times by an additional one month each time after the Termination Date, until October 13, 2023 or a total of up to nine months after the Termination Date. The purpose of the Extension is to allow the Company more time to complete its initial business combination. In order to support this proposal, the Company, and Sponsor have agreed that, if the proposal is approved, the Sponsor (or its affiliates or permitted designees) will deposit into the Trust Account an additional $0.0625 per share for each month until October 13, 2023, unless the closing of the Company’s initial business combination shall have occurred (the “Extension Payment”) in exchange for a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note payable upon consummation of a business combination.
The meeting is being postponed until January 10, 2023 at 10:30 am. The location of the meeting remains as set forth in the Proxy Statement.
The Extension Payment will be deposited in the trust account on or before January 13, 2023.

No Offer or Solicitation
This press release is not a proxy statement or solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or with respect to the Extension and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities of the Company, nor shall there be any sale of any such securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
