At the Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved the following proposals: (i) a proposal to amend and restate the Company’s memorandum and articles of association to modify the monthly amount that the Sponsor, or its affiliates or designees must deposit into the Trust Account in order to implement the Vahanna board’s plan to extend the period of time to consummate a business combination, in the event that the Company does not consummate a business combination by the Current Termination Date, if requested by the Sponsor and accepted by the Company, from $0.033 per outstanding share to the lesser of $0.033 per outstanding share and $225,000, and provide up to nine (9) additional one-month extensions (the “Charter Amendment Proposal”), and (ii) a proposal to approve an amendment to the Trust Agreement to provide the Company the right to extend the Combination Period up to nine (9) times for an additional one (1) month each time from August 26, 2023 to May 26, 2024 by depositing into the Trust Account, for each one-month extension, the Extension Payment (the “Trust Amendment Proposal”).
The Company received the requisite shareholder vote to approve the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal, so the Company did not present that certain additional proposal to approve by the adjournment of the Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of Meeting, there were insufficient votes to approve the Charter Amendment Proposal.
The Charter Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal presented at the Meeting were approved by the Company’s shareholders. The final voting results for each Proposal are set forth below.
