Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

As previously disclosed, ClimateRock, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”) has called and provided a notice of an extraordinary general meeting in lieu of an annual general meeting of shareholders of the Company (the “Meeting”) to be held on April 29, 2024. In connection with the Meeting, the Company filed the definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A (the “Proxy Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 12, 2024. At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to vote on a proposal to approve an extension of the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination from May 2, 2024 to May 2, 2025, or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board of directors.

 

As of 5:00 pm Eastern Time on April 25, 2024, the Company has received requests to redeem a total of 111,915 Class A ordinary shares. Any demand for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests and thereafter, with the Company’s consent, until the vote is taken with respect to the matters presented at the Meeting. If all of the redemption requests received by the Company as of April 25, 2024 are satisfied by the Company, 111,915 Class A ordinary shares, representing approximately 2.40% of the total outstanding shares of Class A ordinary shares of the Company as of April 25, 2024, would be redeemed.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Report”) includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ from the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements and factors that may cause such differences include, without limitation, uncertainties relating to the Company’s shareholder approval of extending the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination (the “Extension”), its inability to complete an initial business combination within the required time period or, and other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in filings with the SEC, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 under the heading “Risk Factors” and in other reports the Company has filed, or to be filed, with the SEC. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company expressly disclaims any obligations or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations with respect thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based.

 

Participants in the Solicitation

 

The Company and its directors, executive officers, other members of management and employees, under SEC rules, may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the security holders of the Company in favor of the approval of the Extension. Investors and security holders may obtain more detailed information regarding the names, affiliations and interests of the Company’s directors and officers in the Proxy Statement, which may be obtained free of charge from the sources indicated above.

 

No Offer or Solicitation

 

This Report shall not constitute a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the Extension. This communication shall also not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any states or jurisdictions in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom.

 

Additional Information and Where to Find It

 

The Company urges investors, shareholders and other interested persons to read the Proxy Statement as well as other documents filed by the Company with the SEC, because these documents will contain important information about the Company and the Extension. Shareholders may obtain copies of the Proxy Statement, without charge, at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to: Advantage Proxy, Inc., P.O.
