Item 8.01 Other Events.
On May 28, 2024, WinVest Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) received a redemption report from Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company (the “Transfer Agent”) indicating that, as of May 28, 2024, the holders of 725,790 shares of the Company’s common stock had properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $11.22 per share.
On May 29, 2024, the Company determined to postpone the special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) originally scheduled for Thursday, May 30, 2024, at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time, to allow additional time for the Company to engage with its stockholders and solicit redemption reversals.
The Special Meeting will now be held on Monday, June 3, 2024, at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time. There is no change to the location, the record date, the purpose or any of the proposals to be acted upon at the Special Meeting. The live-webcast for the Special Meeting will be available by visiting https://www.cstproxy.com/winvestacquisition/2024/.
If approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Special Meeting, the Extension Amendment Proposal included in the definitive proxy statement for the Special Meeting, as previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 13, 2024, would allow the Company to amend its amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Extension Amendment”) to extend the date (the “Termination Date”) by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination (a “Business Combination”) from June 17, 2024 (the “Current Termination Date”) to July 17, 2024 (the “Charter Extension Date”), and would allow the Company, without another stockholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date on a monthly basis for up to five times by an additional one month each time after the Charter Extension Date, by resolution of the Company’s board of directors, if requested by WinVest SPAC LLC, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until December 17, 2024, or a total of up to six months after the Current Termination Date, unless the closing of the Company’s Business Combination shall have occurred prior thereto, by causing $30,000 to be deposited into the trust account (the “Trust Account”) established in connection with the Company’s initial public offering for each such extension.
