Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant
On October 12, 2023, an aggregate of $75,000 (the “Monthly Extension Payment”) was deposited into the trust account of Acri Capital Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) for the public shareholders, which enabled the Company to extend the period of time it has to consummate its initial business combination by one month from October 14, 2023 to November 14, 2023 (the “Extension”). The Extension is the fourth of the nine one-month extensions permitted under the Company’s governing documents.
In connection with the Monthly Extension Payment, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note of $75,000 (the “Note”) to its sponsor, Acri Capital Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”).
The Note is non-interest bearing and payable (subject to the waiver against trust provisions) on the earlier of (i) consummation of the Company’s initial business combination and (ii) the date of the liquidation of the Company. The principal balance may be prepaid at any time, at the election of the Company. The holder of the Note has the right, but not the obligation, to convert the Note, in whole or in part, respectively, into private placement warrants (the “Warrants”) of the Company, as described in the prospectus of the Company (File Number 333-263477), by providing the Company with written notice of its intention to convert the Note at least two business days prior to the closing of the Company’s initial business combination. The number of Warrants to be received by the holder in connection with such conversion shall be an amount determined by dividing (x) the sum of the outstanding principal amount payable to the holder, by (y) $1.00.
The issuance of the Note was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
A copy of the Note is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The disclosures set forth in this Item 2.03 are intended to be summaries only and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Note.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The information disclosed under Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02 to the extent required herein. The Warrants, if any, (1) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferable or salable by the Sponsor until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination and (2) are entitled to registration rights.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On October 12, 2023, the Company issued a press release (the “Press Release”) announcing that the Monthly Extension Payment had been made. A copy of the Press Release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto. The information in this Item 7.01 and Exhibit 99.1 hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
