Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

 

On March 6, 2024, pursuant to Rule 15c-211 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as amended, a market maker filed a Form 211 with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) to initiate proprietary trading of the Class A common stock, the units, and the warrants of ShoulderUp Technologies Acquisition Corp. (the “Company” or “ShoulderUp”). Pursuant to Rule 15c2-11 (the “Exchange Act”), the submission of Form 211 to the FINRA OTC Compliance Unit enables broker-dealers to initiate or resume trading quotes on the “pink sheets” by OTC Markets Group Inc. for securities not listed on the New York Stock Exchange or The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. The securities are expected to be quoted on pink sheets soon.

 

Participants in the Solicitation

 

The Company and its directors and executive officers and other persons may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the Company’s shareholders in respect of the Special Meeting and the Charter Amendment Proposal and related matters. Information regarding the Company’s directors and executive officers is available in Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 26, 2024 (the “Proxy Statement”). Additional information regarding the participants in the proxy solicitation and a description of their direct and indirect interests are contained in the Proxy Statement (as defined further below).

 

No Offer or Solicitation

 

This communication shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which the offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

 

Additional Information

 

The Company has filed a Proxy Statement with the SEC in connection with the Meeting to consider and vote upon the Charter Amendment Proposal and, beginning on or about April 29, 2024, mailed the Proxy Statement and other relevant documents to its stockholders as of the April 19, 2024 record date for the Special Meeting. The Company’s stockholders and other interested persons are advised to read the Proxy Statement and any other relevant documents that have been or will be filed with the SEC in connection with the Company’s solicitation of proxies for the Special Meeting because these documents contain important information about the Company, the Charter Amendment Proposal and related matters.
