Generation Asia I Acquisition Limited (the “Company”) filed a definitive proxy statement on March 29, 2024 (“Proxy Statement”) to hold a shareholders’ meeting of the Company (the “Shareholders Meeting”) at 9:00 am, Eastern time, on April 16, 2024. The Company hereby clarifies that the redemption deadline to exercise the redemption rights shall be 5:00 pm, Eastern time, on April 12, 2024 (two business days prior to the initially scheduled date of the Shareholders Meeting). Prior to 5:00 pm, Eastern time, on April 12, 2024, any shareholder seeking to exercise its redemption rights must (i) submit a written request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Transfer Agent”) that the Company redeem Class A Ordinary Shares for cash and (b) tender or deliver Class A Ordinary Share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms to the Transfer Agent, physically or electronically through the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”).
Supplement to the BCA Proxy Statement
In connection with the foregoing, the Company has decided to supplement the Proxy Statement (the “Proxy Supplement”) to provide updated information about the redemption deadline. There is no change to the date, location, the record date, or any of the other proposals to be acted upon at the Shareholders Meeting.
Shareholders who have previously submitted their proxies or otherwise voted and who do not want to change their vote do not need take any action. Shareholders as of the March 25, 2024 record date can vote, even if they have subsequently sold their shares. Shareholders who wish to withdraw their previously submitted redemption requests may do so prior to the Shareholders Meeting by requesting that the Transfer Agent return such shares prior to the Shareholders Meeting.
A copy of the Proxy Supplement is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated to herein by reference.
