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

 

On March 28, 2024, Project Energy Reimagined Acquisition Corp. (“PERAC”) held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of PERAC (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”). On March 1, 2024, the record date for the Extraordinary General Meeting (the “record date”), there were 17,473,772 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of PERAC (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”) and one Class B ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of PERAC (such share, collectively with the Class A Ordinary Shares, the “Ordinary Shares”) issued and outstanding. At the Extraordinary General Meeting, 14,607,233 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 83.595% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares as of the record date, were present in person (including by virtual attendance) or by proxy and constituted a quorum for the transaction of business.

 

At the Extraordinary General Meeting, PERAC’s shareholders approved the following items:

 

(i)a proposal to approve and adopt, by way of ordinary resolution, the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of October 2, 2023 (as may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time), by and among PERAC, Heramba Electric plc (“Holdco”), Heramba Merger Corp. (“Merger Sub”), Heramba Limited and Heramba GmbH, and the business combination contemplated thereby (together with the other transactions related thereto, the “Business Combination,” and such proposal, the “Business Combination Proposal”);

 

(ii)a proposal to approve and adopt, by way of special resolution, the plan of merger pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into PERAC, with PERAC being the surviving company in the merger (the “Merger”), and the consummation of the Merger (the “Merger Proposal”); and

 

(iii)four separate governance proposals to approve, in each case by way of ordinary resolution and on a non-binding advisory basis, certain material changes between PERAC’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, as amended, and the articles of association of Holdco (collectively, the “Advisory Governance Proposals”).

 

The final proposal, set forth as the “Adjournment Proposal” in the definitive proxy statement/prospectus related to the Extraordinary General Meeting filed by PERAC with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 19, 2024 (the “definitive proxy statement/prospectus”), was not presented to PERAC’s shareholders.

 

Approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal and the Advisory Governance Proposals required an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the Ordinary Shares entitled to vote thereon and voted in person (including by virtual attendance) or by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Approval of the Merger Proposal required a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds (2/3) majority of the Ordinary Shares entitled to vote thereon and voted in person (including by virtual attendance) or by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Each of the Business Combination Proposal and the Merger Proposal was cross-conditioned on the approval of such other proposal.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements included in this communication that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “predict,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “future,” “outlook,” and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or events that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the consummation of the Business Combination and related transactions and the listing of Holdco’s securities on Nasdaq. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this communication, and on the current expectations of Heramba, PERAC and Holdco 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 Heramba, PERAC and Holdco. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including (i) changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; (ii) the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the Business Combination, including the risk that any required regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company, the expected benefits of the Business Combination or that redemptions by shareholders of PERAC reduce the funds in trust or available to the combined company following the Business Combination, any of the other conditions to closing are not satisfied or that events or other circumstances give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement; (iii) changes to the structure of the Business Combination that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations or as a condition to obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals; (iv) the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards following the consummation of the Business Combination; (v) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of Heramba as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; (vi) failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees; (vii) costs related to the Business Combination; (viii) changes in applicable law or regulations; (ix) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Heramba, PERAC or Holdco; (x) the effects of competition on Heramba’s future business; (xi) the ability of PERAC, Heramba or Holdco to issue equity or equity-linked securities or obtain debt financing in connection with the Business Combination or in the future; (xii) the enforceability of Heramba’s intellectual property rights, including its copyrights, patents, trademarks and trade secrets, and the potential infringement on the intellectual property rights of others; and (xiii) those factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in PERAC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on April 7, 2023, and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, the Registration Statement and the definitive proxy statement/prospectus, and other documents filed, or to be filed, by PERAC and/or Holdco, with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or the assumptions of Heramba, PERAC and Holdco management prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that none of Heramba, PERAC nor Holdco presently know or that Heramba, PERAC or Holdco 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 Heramba’s, PERAC’s or Holdco’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this communication. Heramba, PERAC and Holdco anticipate that subsequent events and developments may cause Heramba’s, PERAC’s or Holdco’s assessments to change. However, while Heramba, PERAC and Holdco may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Heramba, PERAC and Holdco specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. Nothing in this communication should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
