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

 

On November 4, 2022, Maquia Capital Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) held a special meeting in lieu of the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Meeting”). At the Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination from November 7, 2022 to May 7, 2023 or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”). The Company filed the Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on November 4, 2022.

 

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Charter 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.

 

At the Meeting, an aggregate of 16,472,497 shares of the Company’s common stock, which represents a quorum of the outstanding common stock entitled to vote as of the record date of September 30, 2022, were represented in person or by proxy at the Meeting.

 

At the Meeting, the Company’s stockholders voted on the following proposals, each of which was approved:

 

(1) The Extension Amendment Proposal - a proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate an initial business combination from November 7, 2022 to May 7, 2023, or such earlier date as determined by the Board. The following is a tabulation of the votes with respect to this proposal, which was approved by the Company’s stockholders:

 

For   Against   Abstain   Broker Non-Votes
16,472,402   95   0   0

 

 

(2) The Director Election Proposal — to elect two persons as Class I directors (to serve until 2024 or until a successor is elected and qualified or their earlier resignation or removal). The following is a tabulation of the votes with respect to the election of directors, each of whom was elected by the Company’s stockholders:

 

Name   For   Withhold    
Pedro Manuel Zorrilla Velasco   15,023,712   1,448,785    
Luis Antonio Marquez-Heine   15,151,872   1,320,625    

 

In connection with the Meeting, stockholders holding 13,769,910 shares of Class A common stock (“Public Shares”) exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s trust account (“Trust Account”). As a result, approximately $143.5 million (approximately $10.42 per Public Share) will be removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders and approximately $36.9 million will remain in the Trust Account. Following redemptions, the Company will have 3,539,809 Public Shares outstanding.

 

As a result of stockholder approval of the Charter Amendment and the Company’s implementation thereof, Maquia Investments North America, LLC (the “Sponsor”)  or its designees will contribute to the Company as a loan an aggregate of $ 0.045 for each share of Class A commons stock that is not redeemed, for each calendar month (commencing on November 7, 2022 and on the 7th day of each subsequent month) until May 7, 2023 (each, an “Extension Period”), or portion thereof, that is needed to complete an initial business combination (the “Contribution”).

 

Based on the outstanding 3,539,809 Public Shares following redemptions as disclosed above, each monthly Contribution will be $159,291.41, which will be deposited in the Trust Account within five (5) business days from the beginning of such calendar month (or portion thereof). The Company will have the sole discretion whether to continue extending for additional calendar months until May 7, 2023. If the Company opts not to utilize any remaining portion of the Extension Period, then the Company will liquidate and dissolve promptly in accordance with its charter, and its Sponsor’s obligation to make additional Contributions will terminate.
