Redemption Withdrawals.

 

The Company plans to convene and then adjourn the Shareholder Meeting, without conducting any other business scheduled to be held on December 16, 2024 at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, at the offices of Kirkland & Ellis LLP located at 601 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10022 and via a virtual meeting. At the Shareholder Meeting, the Company plans to inform its shareholders that the Shareholder Meeting will be adjourned to 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on December 18, 2024. In connection with the adjournment of the Shareholder Meeting, Slam is reopening and extending the deadline for its shareholders to withdraw any previously delivered demand for redemption of their Public Shares, to 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on December 18, 2024. The number of Public Shares currently tendered for redemption is 8,942,713. If a shareholder has previously submitted a request to redeem its Public Shares in connection with the Shareholder Meeting and would like to reverse such request, such shareholder may contact Slam’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company at spacredemptions@continentalstock.com.

 

Trust Account Waiver.

 

In connection with the Shareholder Meeting, the Company will waive its right to the funds in Slam’s trust account established to hold a portion of the proceeds from Slam’s initial public offering and the concurrent sale of the private placement warrants (the “Trust Account”), including any interest thereon, and Slam will not now or in the future, use funds from the Trust Account to pay for any dissolution expenses in connection with the liquidation of the Trust Account. 

 

Conversion of Class B Ordinary Shares.

 

The Sponsor has informed the Company that it expects to convert an aggregate of 14,374,000 Class B Ordinary Shares into Public Shares on a one-for-one basis the next business day following the Shareholder Meeting. The Sponsor has agreed to waive any right to receive funds from the Company’s Trust Account with respect to the Public Shares received upon such conversion and will acknowledge that such shares will be subject to all of the restrictions applicable to the original Class B Ordinary Shares under the terms of that certain letter agreement, dated as of February 22, 2021, by and among the Company and its initial shareholders, directors and officers, and that certain letter agreement, dated as of February 4, 2024, by and among, the Company, Lynk Global, Inc. (“Lynk”), the Company’s directors and officers, the Sponsor and other parties thereto.

 

Updates to Proxy Statement Disclosure.

In addition, the Company has announced that it is now seeking a shorter three-month extension of the date by which the Company has to complete a Business Combination, with the ability to extend such Termination Date on a monthly basis for an additional three months without approval of the Company’s shareholders. Further details are provided in the updates to the disclosure below, with the aim to retain at least 2,000,000 Public Shares.

Forward Looking Statements 

 

Certain statements made in this Report, and oral statements made from time to time by representatives of Slam, Topco and Lynk are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may generally be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “projects,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “forecasts,” “plans,” “intends,” “believes,” “seeks,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “future,” “propose,” “potential,” “target,” “goal,” “objective,” “outlook” and variations of these words or similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations including as they relate to the Business Combination and related transactions, including the anticipated financing, pricing and market opportunity, the satisfaction of closing conditions to the Business Combination and related transactions, the level of redemptions by Slam’s public shareholders and the timing of the completion of the Business Combination, including the anticipated closing date of the Business Combination and the use of the cash proceeds therefrom. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this Report, and on the current expectations of Slam’s, Topco’s and Lynk’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, conditions or results, and involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside the control of the parties, that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements.

 

 

The forward-looking statements involve significant risk and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Factors that may cause such differences include, among others, the following: (1) whether we will be able to successfully enter into any non-redemption agreements with certain shareholders of the Company; (2) whether the Sponsor will be able to convert its Class B Ordinary Shares into Public Shares on the next business day following the Shareholder Meeting; (3) the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and Founder Share Amendment Proposal at the Shareholder Meeting; (4) the amount remaining in the Company’s Trust Account following any shareholder redemptions in connection with the Shareholder Meeting; (5) the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the Business Combination, including the risk that any required regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the Business Combination; (6) satisfaction or waiver (if applicable) of the conditions to the Business Combination, including with respect to the approval of the shareholders of Slam; (7) the ability to obtain approval to list the combined company’s securities on an approved stock exchange; (8) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of Slam or Lynk as a result of the announcement and consummation of the transactions described herein; (9) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees; (10) uncertainty of the costs related to the Business Combination; (11) changes in applicable laws or regulations and delays in obtaining, adverse conditions contained in, or the inability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals required to complete the Business Combination; (12) the possibility that Slam and Lynk may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (13) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Slam, Topco or Lynk or any of their respective directors or officers, following the announcement of the Business Combination; (14) the failure to realize anticipated pro forma results and underlying assumptions, including with respect to estimated shareholder redemptions and purchase price and other adjustments; (15) risks related to domestic and international political and macroeconomic uncertainty, including the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Israel-Hamas war; (16) the risk that any of the conditions to closing of the Business Combination are not satisfied in the anticipated manner or on the anticipated timeline or are waived by any of the parties thereto; (17) risks related to the rollout of Lynk’s business strategy and the timing of expected business milestones; (18) the amount of redemption requests made by Slam’s public shareholders; (19) the ability of Slam to issue equity, if any, in connection with the Business Combination or to otherwise obtain financing in the future; (20) risks related to Lynk’s industry; (21) the inability to complete any private placement financing, the amount of any private placement financing or the completion of any private placement financing with terms unfavorable to you; and (22) those factors discussed in the definitive proxy statement filed by the Company with the SEC on November 25, 2024, the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, in each case, under the heading “Risk Factors,” and other documents of Slam, Topco or Lynk to be filed with the SEC, including the proxy statement/prospectus. If any of these risks materialize or Slam’s or Lynk’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither Slam nor Lynk presently know or that Slam and Lynk currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect Slam’s, Topco’s and Lynk’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Report. Slam, Topco and Lynk anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause Slam’s, Topco’s and Lynk’s assessments to change. However, while Slam, Topco and Lynk may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, each of Slam, Topco and Lynk specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, unless required by applicable law. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Slam’s, Topco’s and Lynk’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Report. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
