completely extinguish rights of the holders of Public Shares (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of APXI’s remaining shareholders and the Board in accordance with applicable law, dissolve and liquidate, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above to APXI’s obligations under the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands (the “Companies Act”), as amended from time to time, to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law.
Subject to the foregoing, the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal, the NTA Requirement Amendment and the Founder Share Amendment Proposal requires a special resolution under the Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of such holders of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the Company as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof.
Approval of the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under the Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of a simple majority of such holders of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the Company as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof, and, pursuant to the Trust Agreement, requires the affirmative vote of at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Founder Shares”), present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof and entitled to vote on such matter.
Approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under the Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of a simple majority of such holders of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the Company as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof. The Adjournment Proposal will only be put forth for a vote in the discretion of the chairman of the Extraordinary General Meeting, including in the event there are not sufficient votes to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal, the NTA Requirement Amendment and the Founder Share Amendment Proposal at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
The Board has fixed the close of business on [●], 2023 (the “Record Date”) as the date for determining APXI shareholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting and any adjournment thereof. Only holders of record of issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the Company on that date are entitled to attend and have their votes counted at the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof. However, the holders of Ordinary Shares may elect to redeem all or a portion of their shares in connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting.
APXI believes that given APXI’s expenditure of time, effort and money on a Business Combination, circumstances warrant ensuring that APXI is in the best position possible to consummate a Business Combination and that it is in the best interests of APXI shareholders that APXI obtain the Extension as needed. APXI believes a Business Combination will provide significant benefits to its shareholders.
After careful consideration of all relevant factors, the Board has determined that the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal, the NTA Requirement Amendment, the Founder Share Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are in the best interests of APXI and its shareholders, and has declared it advisable and unanimously recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” such proposals.
APXI’s directors and officers have interests in the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal, the NTA Requirement Amendment and the Founder Share Amendment Proposal that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholder. These interests include, among others, ownership, directly or indirectly through the Sponsor, of Founder Shares and private placement warrants (as defined below). See the section entitled “Extraordinary General Meeting of APXI Shareholders — Interests of the Initial Shareholders” in this proxy statement.
