as of the close of business on the Record Date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. On the Record Date, there were issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares, of which 34,500,000 Class A Ordinary Shares are held by Infinite public shareholders and 6,900,000 Class B Ordinary Shares are held by the Initial Shareholders.
Recommendation of the Board
THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS
THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” EACH OF THESE PROPOSALS
Quorum
The presence at the Shareholder Meeting (which would include presence at the virtual Shareholder Meeting), in person or by proxy, of shareholders holding a majority of the Ordinary Shares entitled to vote at the Shareholder Meeting constitutes a quorum for the vote on the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Class B Share Proposal or the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal and, the presence at the Shareholder Meeting (which would include presence at the virtual Shareholder Meeting), in person or by proxy, of shareholders holding not less than one-third of the Ordinary Shares entitled to vote at the Shareholder Meeting constitutes a quorum for the vote on the Adjournment Proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum. The Initial Shareholders, who hold 20% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares as of the Record Date, will count towards this quorum. As a result, as of the Record Date, in addition to the shares of the Initial Shareholders, an additional 10,350,001 Ordinary Shares held by public shareholders would be required to be present at the Shareholder Meeting to achieve a quorum for the vote on the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Class B Share Proposal or the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal and 4,600,001 additional Ordinary Shares held by public shareholders would be required to be present at the Shareholder Meeting to achieve a quorum for the vote on the Adjournment Proposal.
Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes
Abstentions and broker non-votes will be considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum but, as a matter of Cayman Islands law, will not constitute votes cast at the Shareholder Meeting and therefore will have no effect on the approval of any of the proposals voted upon at the Shareholder Meeting.
Under NYSE rules, if a shareholder holds their shares in “street” name through a bank, broker or other nominee and the shareholder does not instruct their broker, bank or other nominee how to vote their shares on a proposal, the broker, bank or other nominee has the authority to vote the shares in its discretion on certain “routine” matters. However, banks, brokers and other nominees are not authorized to exercise their voting discretion on any “non-routine” matters. This can result in a “broker non-vote,” which occurs on a proposal when (i) a bank, broker or other nominee has discretionary authority to vote on one or more “routine” proposals to be voted on at a meeting of shareholders or has received instructions as to how to vote on some but not all of the “nonroutine” proposals, (ii) there are one or more “non-routine” proposals to be voted on at the meeting for which the bank, broker or other nominee does not have authority to vote without instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares and (iii) the beneficial owner fails to provide the bank, broker or other nominee with voting instructions on a “non-routine” matter.
We believe that all of the proposals to be voted on at the Shareholder Meeting will be considered non-routine matters. As a result, if you hold your shares in street name, your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee cannot vote your shares on any of the proposals to be voted on at the Shareholder Meeting without your instruction.
Because all of the proposals to be voted on at the Shareholder Meeting are “non-routine” matters, banks, brokers and other nominees will not have authority to vote on any proposals unless instructed, so Infinite does not expect there to be any broker non-votes counting towards establishing a quorum at the Shareholder Meeting.
Vote Required for Approval
The approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Class B Share Proposal or the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal require a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the holders of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares who, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at the Shareholder Meeting.
