Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

On May 9, 2024, New Providence Acquisition Corp. II (the “Company”) filed a third amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Extension Amendment”), following stockholder approval of the Extension Amendment at the Meeting (as defined below). The Extension Amendment extends the date by which the Company must consummate a business combination from May 9, 2024, on a monthly basis, up to six (6) times, until November 9, 2024 (or such earlier date as may be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”)).

 

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Extension Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

 

On May 9, 2024, the Company held a special meeting in lieu of an annual meeting of stockholders (the “Meeting”), which Meeting was adjourned from its original date of May 7, 2024. At the Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved (i) the Extension Amendment, which required the affirmative vote of at least fifty percent (50%) of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, voting as a single class (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”), and (ii) a proposal to approve and ratify the appointment of Marcum LP as the Company’s independent accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, which required the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting (the “Auditor Ratification Proposal”).

 

The final voting results for the Extension Amendment Proposal were as follows:

 

For   Against   Abstain   Broker Non-Votes
10,499,302   213,952   0   0

 

The final voting results for the Auditor Ratification Proposal were as follows:

Stockholders holding 4,585,351 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock that were included in the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering (“Public Shares”) exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s trust account. As a result, approximately $49.9 million (approximately $10.89 per share) will be removed from the Company’s trust account to pay such holders. Following redemptions, the Company will have 682,524 Public Shares outstanding.

THIRD AMENDMENT

TO THE

AMENDED AND RESTATED

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF

NEW PROVIDENCE ACQUISITION CORP. II

 

Pursuant to Section 242 of the

Delaware General Corporation Law

 

NEW PROVIDENCE ACQUISITION CORP. II (the “Corporation”), a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, does hereby certify as follows:

 

  1. The name of the Corporation is “New Providence Acquisition Corp. II.” The original certificate of incorporation of the Corporation was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on November 16, 2020 (the “Original Certificate”). An amended and restated certificate of incorporation of the Corporation was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on November 9, 2021. Two subsequent amendments to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of the Corporation was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on and May 5th, 2023 (collectively, the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”).

 

  2. This Third Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation amends the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation.

 

  3. This Third Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation was duly adopted by the affirmative vote of the holders of 50% of the stock entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders in accordance with the provisions of Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

 

  4. The text of Section 9.1(b) of Article IX is hereby amended and restated to read in full as follows:

 

(b) Immediately after the Offering, a certain amount of the net offering proceeds received by the Corporation in the Offering (including the proceeds of any exercise of the under writers’ over-allotment option) and certain other amounts specified in the Corporation’s registration statement on Form S-1, as initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC’’.) on February 22, 2021, as amended (the “Registration Statement”), shall be deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), established for the benefit of the Public Stockholders (as defined below) pursuant to a trust agreement described in the Registration Statement. Except for the withdrawal of interest to pay franchise and income taxes, none of the funds held in the Trust Account (including the interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account) will be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of 100% of the Offering Shares (as defined below) if the Corporation is unable to complete its initial Business Combination within 36 months from the closing of the Offering (or such earlier date as may be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors) and (iii) the redemption of shares in connection with a vote seeking to amend any provisions of this Amended and Restated Certificate relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity (as described in Section 9.7). Holders of shares of the Common Stock included as part of the units sold in the Offering (the “Offering Shares”) (whether such Offering Shares were purchased in the Offering or in the secondary market following the Offering and whether or not such holders are the Sponsor or officers or directors of the Corporation, or any affiliates of any of the foregoing) are referred to herein as “Public Stockholders.”

 

  5. The text of Section 9.2(d) of Article IX is hereby amended and restated to read in full as follows:

 

(d) In the event that the Corporation has not consummated an initial Business Combination within 36 months from the closing of the Offering (or such earlier date as may be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors), the Corporation shall (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the Offering Shares in consideration of a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to the Corporation to pay its franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), by (B) the total number of then outstanding Offering Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the Public Stockholders (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 the remaining stockholders and the Board in accordance with applicable law, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Corporation’s obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law.

  6. The text of Section 9.7 of Article IX is hereby amended and restated to read in full as follows:

 

Section 9.7 Additional Redemption Rights. If, in accordance with Section 9.l(a), any amendment is made to this Amended and Restated Certificate to modify the substance or timing of the ability of Public Stockholders to seek redemption in connection with an initial Business Combination or the Corporation’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares if the Corporation has not consummated an initial Business Combination within 36 months from the closing of the Offering (or such earlier date as may be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors) or with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity, the Public Stockholders shall be provided with the opportunity to redeem their Offering Shares upon the approval of any such amendment, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to the Corporation to pay its franchise and income taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Offering Shares; provided, however, that any such amendment will be voided, and this Article IX will remain unchanged, if any stockholders who wish to redeem are unable to redeem due to the Redemption Limitation.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, New Providence Acquisition Corp. II has caused this Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to be duly executed in its name and on its behalf by an authorized officer as of this 9th day of May, 2024.
