Item 8.01.Other Events.

 

On April 6, 2023, Iconic Sports Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) filed a definitive proxy statement (the “Extension Proxy Statement”) for an extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders (the “Shareholder Meeting”) to be held on April 20, 2023 to consider and act upon proposals (i) to extend the date (the “Termination Date”) by which the Company has to consummate a business combination (the “Articles Extension”) from April 26, 2023 to July 26, 2023 (the “Articles Extension Date”) and to allow the Company, without another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date to consummate a business combination on a monthly basis for up to nine times by an additional one month each time after the Articles Extension Date, by resolution of the Board, if requested by Iconic Sports Management LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company, in writing and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until April 26, 2024 or a total of up to twelve months after April 26, 2023, unless the closing of a business combination shall have occurred prior thereto (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”), (ii) to eliminate from the Articles the limitation that the Company may not redeem Class A ordinary shares issued as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering (the “Public Shares”) to the extent that such redemption would result in the Company having net tangible assets, as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, of less than $5,000,001 (the “Redemption Limitation”) in order to allow the Company to redeem Public Shares irrespective of whether such redemption would exceed the Redemption Limitation (the “Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal”), and (iii) to adjourn the Shareholder Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, (a) to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Shareholder Meeting, there are insufficient ordinary shares represented (either in person or by proxy) at the Shareholder Meeting to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal, (b) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct business to vote on the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Redemption Limitation Amendment at the Shareholder Meeting, or (c) if the holders of Public Shares have elected to redeem an amount of shares in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal such that the Company would not adhere to the continued listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange, and to consider any other business as may be properly brought before the Shareholder Meeting.

 

As set forth in the Extension Proxy Statement, the deadline by which the Company’s public shareholders had to complete the procedures for electing to redeem their Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Shares”) was 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on April 18, 2023 (“Redemption Deadline”). The initial number of Class A Shares tendered for redemption prior to the Redemption Deadline was 22,179,314. The deadline for the Company’s public shareholders to withdraw previously submitted redemption requests is April 20, 2023, prior to 10 a.m., Eastern Time, subject to approval by the board of directors of the Company.
