Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
At the Extraordinary General Meeting of LIV Capital Acquisition Corp. II, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”) held on May 1, 2023 (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”), shareholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Charter” and, such amendment to the Charter, the “Charter Amendment”) in order to (i) extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination, cease its operations and redeem all of its Class A ordinary shares (the “Extension Proposal”), (ii) provide for the right of a holder of Class B ordinary shares of the Company to convert such Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis prior to the closing of a business combination at the election of the holder (the “Founder Share Amendment Proposal”), and (iii) eliminate from the Charter the limitation that the Company shall not redeem Class A ordinary shares included as part of the units sold in the initial public offering, including any shares issued in exchange thereof (the “Public Shares”) to the extent that such redemption would cause the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 (the “Redemption Limit” and, such proposal, the “Redemption Limitation Proposal”).
The Company filed the Charter Amendment with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands on the date hereof. The foregoing description of the Charter Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 3.1, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws; Change in Fiscal Year.
The information set forth in Item 3.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
At the Extraordinary General Meeting, a total of 9,875,274, or 78.72% of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares held of record at the close of business on March 30, 2023, the record date for the Extraordinary General Meeting, were present either in person or by proxy, which constituted a quorum. The Company’s shareholders voted on each of the Extension Proposal, the Founder Share Amendment Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Proposal (collectively, the “Voted Proposals”), which are described in more detail in the definitive proxy statement of the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 7, 2023 (the “Proxy Statement”). As there were sufficient votes to approve the Extension Proposal, the Adjournment Proposal described in the Proxy Statement and referred to as “Proposal No. 3” was not presented to shareholders.
The voting results, as certified in the Final Report of the Inspector of Election, are as follows:
Proposal No. 1 - The Extension Proposal – as a special resolution, to amend the Company’s Charter to extend the date by which the Company must (1) consummate a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, which we refer to as our initial business combination, (2) cease its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete such initial business combination, and (3) redeem all of the Class A ordinary shares, included as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering if it fails to complete such initial business combination, for up to an additional nine (9) months, from May 10, 2023, without giving effect to LIV Capital Acquisition Sponsor II, L.P.’s option to extend for an additional three months, to up to February 10, 2024, or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board of directors.

Proposal No. 2 - The Founder Share Amendment Proposal – as a special resolution, to amend the Company’s Charter to provide for the right of a holder of Class B ordinary shares of the Company to convert such Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis prior to the closing of a business combination at the election of the holder.
| For | Against | Abstain | ||
| 9,374,385 | 500,889 | 0 |
Proposal No. 4 - Redemption Limitation Proposal – as a special resolution to amend the Company’s Charter to eliminate the limitation that the Company shall not redeem its Public Shares to the extent that such redemption would cause the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than the Redemption Limit. The Redemption Limitation Proposal would allow the Company to redeem its Public Shares irrespective of whether such redemption would exceed the Redemption Limit.
| For | Against | Abstain | ||
| 9,334,073 | 541,149 | 52 |
In connection with the Voted Proposals, the holders of 5,855,018 Class A ordinary shares, properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.49 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $61,425,326.
