The foregoing description of the Trust Agreement Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to 10.1 which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

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

 

On February 7, 2023, the Company’s stockholders also approved an amendment (the “Charter Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Charter”) to (i) extend the initial period of time by which the Company has to consummate an initial business combination to the New Termination Date and (ii) make other administrative and technical changes in the Charter in connection with the New Termination Date, in each case, pursuant to an amendment in the form set forth in Annex A of the proxy statement. The Company filed the Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on February 8, 2023.

 

On February 13, 2023, the Company issued a press release, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference, announcing (i) the approval and filing of the Charter Amendment and (ii) the New Termination Date.

 

The foregoing description of the Charter Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 3.1 which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

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

 

At the Special Meeting, the following proposals were considered and acted upon by the stockholders of the Company: (a) a proposal to approve the Charter Amendment (the “Charter Amendment Proposal”); (b) a proposal to approve the Trust Agreement Amendment (the “Trust Amendment Proposal” and together with the Charter Amendment Proposal, the “Amendment Proposals”); and (c) a proposal to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting from time to time to solicit additional proxies in favor of the Amendment Proposals or if otherwise determined by the chairperson of the Special Meeting to be necessary or appropriate (the “Adjournment Proposal”).

 

On January 6, 2023, the record date for the Special Meeting, there were 33,161,250 shares of common stock of the Company entitled to be voted at the Special Meeting. At the Special Meeting, 24,821,900 shares of common stock of the Company, or 74.85% of the shares entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, were represented in person or by proxy.

In connection with the stockholders’ approval and implementation of the Charter Amendment Proposal, the holders of 16,328,643 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.13 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $165,489,172. Following such redemptions, 9,546,357 Public Shares remain outstanding and the Company expects to have approximately $96,751,378 remaining in the Trust Account.

 

Atalaya Capital Management LP (“Atalaya”) has informed the Company that it is pleased with the results of the Charter Amendment and voted in favor of the Charter Amendment Proposal, is optimistic about the prospects of the Company’s team, and believes the additional time will facilitate the Company closing on an accretive business combination. Atalaya will vote its shares in favor of the transaction with the proposed target. In connection with the Charter Amendment, Atalaya reduced its shareholding to 9.9% of the outstanding shares (a common industry practice). Atalaya expects to work with the Company’s management team in connection with the Private Investment in Public Equity process and other capital needs. In addition, given the positive results from the extension vote, the Company and Atalaya have agreed that Atalaya has the flexibility to redeem its position after its affirmative vote on the business combination but before the closing of such transaction.

“In the event that the Corporation has not completed an initial Business Combination by 24 months after the consummation of the IPO, the Board may extend the period of time to consummate an initial Business Combination to March 18, 2023, subject to extension by the Board for up to five additional thirty-day periods (the latest of which such date is referred to as the “Termination Date”); provided that, in each case, the Sponsor (or its affiliates or designees) has (i) provided to the Corporation a notice of such extension no later than five business days prior to February 16, 2023 or such thirty-day period, as applicable, and (ii) deposited in the Trust Account an amount of the lesser of (a) $0.05 per share for each public share of Company that is not redeemed in connection with the Special Meeting or (b) $258,750 per 30-day period (such an amount, a ‘Deposit Amount’), which such Deposit Amount shall be used to fund the redemption of the IPO Shares as provided in this provision (F) of Article 6, provided however that if the initial business combination is consummated prior to the last day of the applicable 30-day period or there is a liquidation of the Trust Account, the amount to be distributed to redeeming shareholders shall be reduced by the daily amount of the Deposit Amount for the number of days between the date of consummation or liquidation, as applicable, and the end of the applicable 30 day period and the amount of such distribution will be distributed to the Sponsor.

These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this press release, and on the current expectations of Digital Virgo’s and Goal’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of Digital Virgo and Goal. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the business combination agreement; the risk that the business combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the transactions described herein; the inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the business combination; the lack of a third-party fairness opinion in determining whether or not to pursue the proposed business combination; the ability to obtain or maintain the listing of Digital Virgo on The Nasdaq Stock Market, following the business combination, including having the requisite number of shareholders; costs related to the business combination; changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; risks relating to the uncertainty of certain projected financial information with respect to Digital Virgo; Digital Virgo’s ability to successfully and timely develop, manufacture, sell and expand its technology and products, including implement its growth strategy; Digital Virgo’s ability to adequately manage any supply chain risks, including the purchase of a sufficient supply of critical components incorporated into its product offerings; risks relating to Digital Virgo’s operations and business, including information technology and cybersecurity risks, failure to adequately forecast supply and demand, loss of key customers and deterioration in relationships between Digital Virgo and its employees; Digital Virgo’s ability to successfully collaborate with business partners; demand for Digital Virgo’s current and future offerings; risks that orders that have been placed for Digital Virgo’s products are cancelled or modified; risks related to increased competition; risks relating to potential disruption in the transportation and shipping infrastructure, including trade policies and export controls; risks that Digital Virgo is unable to secure or protect its intellectual property; risks of product liability or regulatory lawsuits relating to Digital Virgo’s products and services; risks that the post-combination company experiences difficulties managing its growth and expanding operations; the uncertain effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and certain geopolitical developments; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the proposed business combination, including the risk that any required shareholder or regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the proposed business combination; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Digital Virgo or Goal or other following announcement of the proposed business combination and transactions contemplated thereby; the ability of Digital Virgo to execute its business model, including market acceptance of its planned products and services and achieving sufficient production volumes at acceptable quality levels and prices; technological improvements by Digital Virgo’s peers and competitors; and those risk factors discussed in documents of Goal and Digital Virgo which were filed, or are to be filed, with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither Goal nor Digital Virgo presently know or that Goal and Digital Virgo currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect Goal’s and Digital Virgo’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this press release. Goal and Digital Virgo anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause Goal’s and Digital Virgo’s assessments to change. However, while Goal and Digital Virgo may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Goal and Digital Virgo specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. Readers are referred to the most recent reports filed with the SEC by Goal. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
