Item 8.01 Other Events.

On April 7, 2021, American Virtual Cloud Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that it has received an unsolicited non-binding proposal, subject to certain conditions, to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (on an as-converted and as-exercised basis) for a price of approximately $9.00 per share.

As a result, the Board of Directors has determined to commence a process to explore, review and evaluate a range of potential strategic alternatives available to the Company, including the unsolicited acquisition proposal, and intends to retain a financial advisor shortly to assist in this process. The Company’s Board of Directors has not set a timetable for this process nor has it made any decisions related to strategic alternatives, including the unsolicited proposal, at this time. No assurance can be given that the Company’s exploration of strategic alternatives, including the unsolicited proposal, will result in any change in strategy, any discussions regarding a transaction or a transaction being entered into or consummated, or if a transaction is undertaken, as to its terms, structure or timing. The Company does not expect to make further public comment regarding these matters unless and until the Board has approved a specific transaction or alternative or otherwise concludes its review of strategic alternatives.

A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
