Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

Previously on June 14, 2023, Blue World Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) filed a definitive proxy statement for the solicitation of proxies in connection with a special meeting of the Company’s shareholders to be held on June 30, 2023 (the “Shareholder Meeting”) to consider and vote on, among other proposals, a proposal to amend its Charter to provide that the Company has until July 2, 2023 to complete a business combination and may elect to extend the period to consummate a business combination up to nine times, each by an additional one-month extension (the “Monthly Extension”), for a total up to nine months to April 2, 2024 (such proposal, the “Charter Amendment Proposal”) and conditional on the approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal, a proposal to amend the Trust Agreement between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (“Continental”) to provide that Continental must commence liquidation of the Company’s trust account containing the net proceeds of the Company’s initial public offering (the “Trust Account”) by July 2, 2023, or, if further extended, to effect each Monthly Extension, up to April 2, 2024 (the “Trust Amendment Proposal”).

 

In May, 2023, Blue World Holding Limited, the sponsor of the Company (the “Sponsor”) issued 2,500 of its preference shares (the “Sponsor Preference Shares”) to Fuji Solar Co., Ltd. (the “New Investor”) for an aggregate purchase price of $1,200,000. Each Sponsor Preference Share will entitle the New Investor to receive 160 Class B ordinary shares of the Company. Proceeds from the sale of the Sponsor Preference Shares have been and will continue to be used by the Sponsor to support the purpose and operations of the Company, including deposits to the Trust Account to effectuate extensions of the Company’s deadline to complete an initial business combination. The New Investor is the controlling shareholder of a private company that the Company has entered into a non-binding letter of intent with for a potential business combination.
