31 Octobre 2023 - 9:15PM
Business Wire
SDCL EDGE Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) announced
today that at a special meeting of the shareholders of the Company
held on October 30, 2023, the shareholders have approved the
proposal to extend the date by which the Company must (1)
consummate an initial business combination or (2) (i) cease its
operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to
complete such initial business combination and (ii) redeem all of
the Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of the
Company (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”) included as part of the
units sold in the Company’s initial public offering that was
consummated on November 2, 2021 (the “IPO”), from November 2, 2023
to March 2, 2024 (the “Extended Date”) and to allow the board of
directors of the Company, without another shareholder vote, to
elect to further extend the date to consummate an initial business
combination after the Extended Date up to four times, by an
additional month each time, upon two days’ advance notice prior to
the applicable deadline, up to July 2, 2024 (together with the
Extended Date the “Extension”, and such proposal the “Extension
Proposal”).
Approximately 96.8% of the votes cast on the Extension Proposal
by holders of the Company’s ordinary shares, total votes cast
representing approximately 68.7% of the Company’s ordinary shares
issued and outstanding, voted to approve the Extension
Proposal.
The Company is also pleased to announce that following the
Extension, the Company has maintained 65.9% of the capital in its
trust account, with 13,177,933 Class A Ordinary Shares remaining in
float. Market averages for redemptions post extension are around
75%, and the Company’s lower redemptions represent a standout case
in the market.
The purpose of the Extension is to allow the Company more time
to complete an initial business combination. The Company, as
previously announced, has entered into a non-binding letter of
intent with Magnet Joint Venture GmbH (“JV GmbH”), KME SE (“KME”)
and The Paragon Fund III GmbH & Co. geschlossene Investment KG
(“Paragon”), for a proposed business combination (the “Business
Combination”) relating to Cunova GmbH, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
JV GmbH (“Cunova”), and certain assets of KME comprising KME’s
Aerospace Business (“KME Aerospace” and, together with Cunova, the
“Target”). Under the terms of the LOI, KME is expected to hold a
majority stake in the post-Business Combination entity whose share
capital is expected to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
The Company anticipates announcing additional details at the time
of execution of the definitive agreements (“Definitive Agreements”)
for the Business Combination.
The completion of the Business Combination is subject to, among
other things, the completion of due diligence, the negotiation of
the Definitive Agreements, satisfaction of the conditions
negotiated therein, approval of the transaction by the board and
shareholders of both the Company and Target, as well as regulatory
approvals and other customary conditions. There can be no assurance
that Definitive Agreements will be entered into or that the
Business Combination will be consummated on the terms or timeframe
currently contemplated, or at all.
