On February 13, 2024, Bite Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). As approved by its stockholders at the Special Meeting, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Charter”) with the Delaware Secretary of State on February 13, 2024 (the “Charter Amendment”), to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from February 17, 2024 (the “Termination Date”) to up to August 17, 2024, by electing to extend the date to consummate an initial business combination on a monthly basis for up to six times by an additional one month each time after the Termination Date until August 17, 2024, or a total of up to six months after the Termination Date, or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), provided that Smart Dine, LLC (the “Sponsor”) (or its affiliates or permitted designees) will deposit into a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders (the “Trust Account”) an amount determined by multiplying $0.025 by the number of public shares then outstanding for each such one-month extension unless the closing of the Company’s initial business combination shall have occurred in exchange for a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note payable upon consummation of a business combination. 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.
