PROPOSAL NO. 2 THE TRUST AGREEMENT AMENDMENT
Overview
The
proposed Trust Agreement Amendment would amend our existing Investment Management Trust Agreement (the Trust Agreement), dated as of December 6, 2021, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust
Company (the Trustee), to allow the Company to extend the Combination Period up to twelve (12) times for an additional one (1) month each time from December 9, 2023 to the Extended Date by depositing into the Trust
Account, for each one-month period, the Extension Payment after giving effect to the Redemption (the Trust Agreement Amendment). A copy of the proposed Trust Agreement Amendment is attached to this proxy statement as Annex A. All
shareholders are encouraged to read the proposed amendment in its entirety for a more complete description of its terms.
Reasons for the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal
The purpose of the Trust Agreement Amendment is to give the Company the right to extend the Combination Period from December 9, 2023 to the Extended Date.
Pursuant to an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company filed on February 27,
2023 (the February 2023 M&A Amendment) and an amendment to the Trust Agreement dated February 27, 2023 (the February 2023 Trust Amendment and together with the February 2023 M&A Amendment, the
February 2023 Amendments), the Company previously had the right to extend the Combination Period two (2) times for an additional three (3) months each time from March 9, 2023 (i.e., 15 months after the consummation of
the IPO) up to September 9, 2023 (i.e., 21 months from the consummation of the IPO) by depositing into the trust account (the Trust Account) the lesser of $750,000 or $0.125 for each of the two consecutive three-month
extensions. In accordance with the February 2023 Amendments, the Company deposited $750,000 into the Trust Account on two occasions to extend to the Combination Period from March 9, 2023 to September 9, 2023. In connection with the
shareholder meeting to approve the February 2023 Amendments, 10,693,417 Ordinary Shares were tendered for redemption.
Pursuant to an
amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company adopted on September 7, 2023 (the September 2023 M&A Amendment) and an amendment to the Trust Agreement dated September 7,
2023 (the September 2023 Trust Amendment and together with the September 2023 M&A Amendment, the September 2023 Amendments) the Company currently has the right to extend the Combination Period three
(3) times for an additional one (1) month each time (each an Extension Period) from September 9, 2023 (i.e., 21 months after the consummation of the IPO) up to December 9, 2023 (i.e., 24 months from the consummation
of the IPO) (as extended, the Termination Date) by depositing into the Trust Account the lesser of $125,000 or $0.025 for each of the three one-month extensions. In accordance with the September 2023 Amendments, the Company
deposited $125,000 into the Trust Account on three occasions to extend to the Combination Period from September 9, 2023 to December 9, 2023. In connection with the meeting to approve the September 2023 Amendments, 757,463 Ordinary Shares
were tendered for redemption.
APXI has determined that there will not be sufficient time before December 9, 2023 (its current
termination date) to hold an Extraordinary General Meeting to obtain the requisite shareholder approval of, and to consummate, a Business Combination.
The Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal is essential to allowing APXI additional time to consummate a Business Combination in the event a
Business Combination is for any reason not completed on or before the Termination Date. Approval of each of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal is a condition to the implementation of the Extension.
If the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal is Not Approved
If the Trust Agreement Amendment is not approved, and we do not consummate an initial business combination by December 9, 2023, we will be
required to dissolve and liquidate our Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the holders of Public Shares and our warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares will expire worthless.
