Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws.

 

The information included in Item 5.07 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference in this Item 5.03 to the extent required herein.

 

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

 

On May 5, 2022, Breeze Holdings Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Meeting”). At the Meeting, the stockholders approved an amendment (the “Charter Amendment”) to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination (the “Extension”) from May 25, 2022 to September 26, 2022. The affirmative vote of at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock was required to approve the Charter Amendment. The purpose of the Charter Amendment is to allow the Company more time to complete its proposed business combination with D-Orbit S.p.A., an Italian operating company, and D-Orbit S.A., a newly formed Luxembourg holding company pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of January 26, 2022, by and among the Company, D-Orbit S.p.A., Seraphim Space (Manager) LLP, D-Orbit S.A., Lift-Off Merger Sub, Inc. and Breeze Sponsor, LLC. 

 

In connection with the Extension, 6,732,987 shares of the Company’s common stock were redeemed (the “Redemption”), with 7,907,013 shares of common stock remaining outstanding after Redemption; 4,767,013 of the 7,907,013 shares of common stock remaining outstanding after redemption (the “Public Shares”) are owned by our public stockholders. Our public stockholders will continue to have the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of our initial business combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount on deposit in the trust account as of two business days prior to the consummation of our initial business combination, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable) divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein.

 

Following the Redemption, approximately $49.3 million remains on deposit in our trust account. 

 

If we are unable to complete our initial business combination on or before September 26, 2022 (unless the stockholders approve a further amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination), we will: (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, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, and less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

 

Set forth below are the final voting results for the Charter Amendment proposal:
