SUPPLEMENT NO. 1

TO THE

PROXY STATEMENT

OF

KINGSWOOD ACQUISITION CORP.

 

This is a supplement (this “Supplement No. 1”) to the Proxy Statement (the “Proxy Statement”) first sent or given to stockholders of Kingswood Acquisition Corp. (“Company”) on or about May 5, 2022, for use at the special meeting of stockholders of Company scheduled to be held on May 18, 2022, at 10:30 a.m., Eastern Time, at via live webcast at the following address https://www.cstproxy.com/kingswoodacquisition/2022.

 

This Supplement No. 1 has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) because on May 18, 2022, if the Extension Proposal is approved, our sponsor Kingswood Global Sponsor LLC (“Sponsor”), or its designees, has agreed to lend us up to $62,500 per month (the “Initial Contribution”), commencing on May 24, 2022, and on the 3rd day of each subsequent month until the Extended Date (the “Additional Contributions” and, collectively with the Initial Contribution, the “Contributions”). The amount contributed per share will depend on the number of public shares that remain outstanding after redemptions in connection with the Extension. For example, if Company takes until November 23, 2022 to complete an initial business combination, which would represent six calendar months, our sponsor or its designees would make aggregate maximum Contributions equal to $375,000. If 1,500,000 public shares remain outstanding after redemptions in connection with such Extension, then the amount contributed per share will be approximately $0.25 per share (or approximately $0.0416 per month). If fewer than 1,500,000 shares remain outstanding, the maximum amount our Sponsor would contribute will be reduced, over the maximum six-month extension, to an amount that would equal $0.25 per share outstanding. So, if only 1,000,000 shares remain outstanding, the maximum amount contributed would be $250,000.

 

Assuming the Extension Proposal is approved, the Initial Contribution will be deposited in the trust account promptly following the special meeting. Each Additional Contribution will be deposited in the trust account within five calendar days from the 23rd day of such calendar month (or portion thereof). Accordingly, if the Extension Proposal is approved and the Extension is implemented and the Company takes the full time through the Extended Date to complete an initial business combination, in comparison to the current redemption amount of approximately $10.25 per share, the redemption amount per share upon the closing of such business combination or the Company’s subsequent liquidation will be (w) approximately $10.50 per share, if 1,500,000 public shares remain outstanding after redemptions, (x) approximately $10.4375 per share, if 2,000,000 public shares remain outstanding, (y) approximately $10.40 per share, if 2,500,000 public shares remain outstanding or (z) approximately $10.282 per share, if 11,604,000 public shares remain outstanding.

 

The Contributions are conditioned upon the implementation of the Extension Proposal. The Contributions will not occur if the Extension Proposal is not approved, or the Extension is not completed. The amount of the Contributions will not bear interest and will be repayable by us to our sponsor or its designees upon consummation of an initial business combination. Our sponsor or its designees will have the sole discretion whether to continue extending for additional calendar months until the Extended Date and if our sponsor determines not to continue extending for additional calendar months, its obligation to make Additional Contributions will terminate.

 

Based upon the current amount in the trust account, the Company estimates that the per-share pro rata portion of the trust account will be approximately $10.25 at the time of the special meeting. The closing price of the Company’s shares on May 4, 2022 was $10.23. The Company cannot assure shareholders that they will be able to sell their shares of the Company in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when such shareholders wish to sell their shares.
