Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On October 27, 2022, Progress Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) filed an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Extension Amendment”). The Extension Amendment extends the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination from 21 months (November 8, 2022) after the closing of the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) to 27 months (May 8, 2023) after the closing of the Company’s IPO, or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”).
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Extension Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On October 27, 2022, the Company held a special meeting in lieu of the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Meeting”). At the Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved the Extension Amendment extending the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination from November 8, 2022 to May 8, 2023, or such earlier date as determined by the Board (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”). There were 21,712,500 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “common stock”) issued and outstanding on October 3, 2022, the record date for the Meeting. At the Meeting, there were at least 10,856,251 shares of common stock present in person or by proxy, representing approximately 50% of the total shares of common stock outstanding as of the record date, which constituted a quorum.
The final voting results for the Extension Amendment Proposal were as follows:
| For | Against | Abstain | ||

Stockholders holding 16,441,812 shares of common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s trust account (“Trust Account”). As a result, $165,347,998.54 (approximately $10.05 per share) will be removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders.
