Item 8.01. | Other Events |
On July 10, 2023, KnightSwan Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), the sponsor of KnightSwan Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”), and the Company, entered into a non-redemption agreement (the “Non-Redemption Agreement”) with an unaffiliated third party (the “Investor”).
Pursuant to the Non-Redemption Agreement, the Investor agreed not to redeem an aggregate of 400,000 shares of Class A common stock of the Company (the “Non-Redeemed Shares”) at the special meeting called by the Company (the “Special Meeting”) to approve, amongst other things, an extension of time for the Company to consummate an initial business combination (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”) from July 25, 2023 to July 25, 2024, or such earlier date as determined by the board of directors of the Company in its sole and absolute discretion (the “Extension”). In exchange for the foregoing commitment not to redeem such shares, the Sponsor has agreed to transfer to the Investor an aggregate of 133,200 shares of Class B common stock of the Company held by the Sponsor immediately following consummation of an initial business combination if the Investor continues to hold such Non-Redeemed Shares through the Special Meeting. The Non-Redemption Agreement is not expected to increase the likelihood that the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved by shareholders but will increase the amount of funds that remain in the Company’s trust account following the Special Meeting.
The foregoing summary of the Non-Redemption Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Non-Redemption Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report includes, and oral statements made from time to time by representatives of the Company may include, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Statements regarding possible business combinations and the financing thereof, and related matters, as well as all other statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Current Report are forward-looking statements. When used in this Current Report, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions, as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management team, identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of the Company’s management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, the Company’s management. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors detailed in the Company’s filings with the SEC. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on the Company’s behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous conditions, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, including those set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s registration statement and final prospectus relating to the Company’s initial public offering filed with the SEC. Copies are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these statements for revisions or changes after the date of this release, except as required by applicable law.
No Offer or Solicitation
This Current Report shall not constitute a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities. This communication shall also 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 states or jurisdictions in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to 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, or an exemption therefrom.
