person (by virtual attendance) or by proxy.
At the Special Meeting, the
Company’s stockholders approved the following items: (i) a proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate
of incorporation, in the form set forth as Annex A to the Proxy Statement (as defined below) for the Special Meeting (the “Charter
Amendment”), to extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination (the “Extension”)
from January 28, 2023 to October 31, 2023 or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”)
(such later date, the “Extended Date”, and such proposal, the “Charter Amendment Proposal”); (ii) a proposal to
amend the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of January 25, 2021, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer
