Shareholders as of the record date can vote on the proposals to be submitted to shareholders at the Meeting, even if they have subsequently sold their shares. Shareholders who have previously submitted their proxies or otherwise voted and who do not want to change their vote need not take any action. Shareholders who have not yet done so are encouraged to vote as soon as possible.
Because the Company intends to adjourn the meeting to June 28, 2023, the deadline for submission of public Class A ordinary shares for redemption will be extended to 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on June 26, 2023.
