All other information in the Definitive Proxy Statement remains unchanged.

 

The amended proxy card (the “Amended Proxy Card”) enclosed herein differs from the proxy card previously made available to you with the Definitive Proxy Statement, in that the enclosed Amended Proxy Card includes the Amended Extension Fee Reduction Proposal as described more fully herein. If you return, or have already returned, an original proxy card, your proxy is no longer valid because the proposals set forth on these proxy cards have been revised. PLEASE NOTE THAT ANY ORIGINAL PROXY CARD SUBMITTED PREVIOUSLY THAT DO NOT INCLUDE THE AMENDED EXTENSION FEE REDUCTION PROPOSAL IS INVALID, SO IT IS IMPORTANT TO SUBMIT THE AMENDED PROXY CARD TO INDICATE YOUR VOTE ON THE AMENDED EXTENSION FEE REDUCTION PROPOSAL. We encourage you to resubmit your vote on the Amended Extension Fee Reduction Proposal by submitting the Amended Proxy Card enclosed with this supplement or by voting online or by email by following the procedures on the Amended Proxy Card.

In particular, you should review and consider carefully the matters discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” on page 11 of the Definitive Proxy Statement.

 

 

SUPPLEMENT TO THE DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT

 

The following supplemental information should be read in conjunction with the Definitive Proxy Statement, which should be read in its entirety. To the extent the information set forth herein differs from or updates information contained in the Definitive Proxy Statement, the information set forth herein shall supersede or supplement the information in the Definitive Proxy Statement.

SUPPLEMENT NO. 1, DATED FEBRUARY 4, 2025

 

(TO THE PROXY STAEMENT OF DT CLOUD ACQUISITION CORPORATION DATED JANUARY 27, 2025)

 

SUPPLEMENT TO THE PROXY STATEMENT

 

This supplement to the Definitive Proxy Statement (the “Supplement”) supplements, updates and amends the Definitive Proxy Statement of the Company filed with the SEC on January 27, 2025. The following supplemental information should be read in conjunction with the Definitive Proxy Statement, which should be read in its entirety.

 

1.	The first subsection of the second paragraph on the first page of the Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

1.

a proposal to amend the monthly fee (the “Monthly Extension Fee”) payable by our sponsor (the “Sponsor”) and/or its designee into the Trust Account (as defined below) to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination (the “Combination Period”) from an amount equal to $0.03 per unit (and with respect to each ordinary share included in our units, the “Public Share”) to $70,000 for all outstanding Public Shares (the “Amended Monthly Extension Fee”). The first Monthly Extension Fee must be made by February 23, 2025. The Amended Monthly Extension Fee, if and to the extent approved at the Extraordinary General Meeting, will become operative for the Monthly Extension Fee beginning on February 23, 2025, and the 23rd of each succeeding month until the earlier of the closing of an initial business combination or February 23, 2026 (“Proposal 1” or “Extension Fee Reduction Proposal”);

 

2.	The sixth paragraph of the Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

If the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Charter Amendment Proposal are adopted by the shareholders, to effectuate each Extension, the Sponsor and/or its designee will deposit $70,000 for all outstanding Public Shares. The Amended Monthly Extension Fee, if and to the extent approved at the Extraordinary General Meeting, will become operative for the Monthly Extension Fee beginning on February 23, 2025 and the 23rd of each succeeding month until February 23, 2026(the “Contributions”). The Sponsor will receive a non-interest-bearing, unsecured promissory note equal to the amount of any such Contributions that will not be repaid in the event that we are unable to close a business combination unless there are funds available outside the Trust Account to do so. Such notes would either be paid upon consummation of our initial business combination, or, at the lender’s discretion, converted upon consummation of our business combination into additional private units at a price of $10.00 per unit. If the Sponsor or its designees advises us that it does not intend to make the Contributions, then the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Charter Amendment Proposal will not be put before the shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting and, unless we can complete an initial business combination by February 23, 2025, we will dissolve and liquidate in accordance with our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association.

 

3.	The first subsection of the second paragraph on the cover page of the Proxy Statement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

1.

a proposal to amend the monthly fee (the “Monthly Extension Fee”) payable by our sponsor (the “Sponsor”) and/or its designee into the Trust Account (as defined below) to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination (the “Combination Period”) from an amount equal to $0.03 per unit (and with respect to each ordinary share included in our units, the “Public Share”) to $70,000 for all outstanding Public Shares (the “Amended Monthly Extension Fee”).

If the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Charter Amendment Proposal are adopted by the shareholders, to effectuate each Extension, the Sponsor and/or its designee will deposit $70,000 for all outstanding Public Shares. The Amended Monthly Extension Fee, if and to the extent approved at the Extraordinary General Meeting, will become operative for the Monthly Extension Fee beginning on February 23, 2025 and the 23rd of each succeeding month until February 23, 2026(the “Contributions”). The Sponsor will receive a non-interest-bearing, unsecured promissory note equal to the amount of any such Contributions that will not be repaid in the event that we are unable to close a business combination unless there are funds available outside the Trust Account to do so. Such notes would either be paid upon consummation of our initial business combination, or, at the lender’s discretion, converted upon consummation of our business combination into additional private units at a price of $10.00 per unit.

5.	The second Q&A on page 1 of the Definitive Proxy Statement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

Q. What is being voted on?

A.

You are being asked to consider and vote on the following proposals:

 

		●	a proposal to amend the Monthly Extension Fee payable by our Sponsor and/or its designee into the Trust Account to extend the Combination Period from an amount equal to $0.03 per Public Share to an amount equal to $70,000 for all outstanding Public Shares. The first Monthly Extension Fee must be made by February 23, 2025. The Amended Monthly Extension Fee, if and to the extent approved at the Extraordinary General Meeting, will become operative for the Monthly Extension Fee beginning on February 23, 2025, and the 23rd of each succeeding month until the earlier of the consummation of an initial business combination or February 23, 2026;
		●	a proposal to amend the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated February 20, 2024, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer& Trust Company, as trustee (“Trustee”), to reflect the Extension Fee Reduction;
		●	a proposal to amend the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to reflect the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal; and
		●	a proposal to direct the chairman of the Extraordinary General Meeting to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve any of the foregoing proposal.

 

6.	The third Q&A on page 3 of the Definitive Proxy Statement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

Q. What amount will holders receive upon consummation of a subsequent business combination or liquidation if the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal, the Trust Agreement Proposal and the Charter Amendment Proposal are approved?

A.

If the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Charter Amendment Proposal are approved, the Sponsor, or its designees, may contribute to us as a loan the Amended Monthly Extension Fee of $70,000 for all outstanding Public Shares into the Trust Account. The Amended Monthly Extension Fees must be deposited into the Trust Account by February 23, 2025, and the 23rd of each succeeding month until February 23, 2026. Assuming the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Charter Amendment Proposal are approved, the initial Contribution of the Amended Monthly Extension Fee will be deposited in the Trust Account promptly following the Extraordinary General Meeting. Upon five days advance notice prior to the applicable deadline, each additional Contribution will be deposited in the Trust Account for each one-month extension on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline. The Sponsor or its affiliates or designees will receive a non-interest-bearing, unsecured promissory note equal to the amount of any such Contributions that will not be repaid in the event that we are unable to close a business combination unless there are funds available outside the trust account to do so. Such notes would either be paid upon consummation of our initial business combination, or, at the lender’s discretion, converted upon consummation of our business combination into additional private units at a price of $10.00 per unit.

 

 

7.	The second Q&A on page 7 of the Definitive Proxy Statement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

Q. If the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Charter Amendment Proposal are approved, what happens next?

A.

If the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Charter Amendment Proposal are approved, the Sponsor and/or its designee will deposit the Amended Monthly Extension Fee of $70,000 for all remaining Public Shares into the Trust Account to extend the date which the Company must consummate its initial business combination.

 

8.	The sixth full paragraph of PROPOSAL 1 — THE EXTENSION FEE REDUCTION PROPOSAL on page 12 of the Definitive Proxy Statement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

Through this Extension Fee Reduction Proposal, DT Cloud is proposing that its shareholders approve that the Sponsor and/or its designee will deposit $70,000 for all outstanding Public Shares into the Trust Account to extend the date which the Company must consummate its initial business combination. The Amended Monthly Extension Fee, if and to the extent approved at the Extraordinary General Meeting, will become operative for the Monthly Extension Fee beginning on February 23, 2025, and the 23rd of each succeeding month until February 23, 2026. The Sponsor will receive a non-interest-bearing, unsecured promissory note equal to the amount of any such Contributions that will not be repaid in the event that we are unable to close a business combination unless there are funds available outside the Trust Account to do so. Such notes would either be paid upon consummation of our initial business combination, or, at the lender’s discretion, converted upon consummation of our business combination into additional private units at a price of $10.00 per unit. If the Sponsor or its designees advises us that it does not intend to make the Contributions, then the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Charter Amendment Proposal will not be put before the shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting and, unless we can complete an initial business combination by February 23, 2025, we will dissolve and liquidate in accordance with our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association.

 

9.	The eighth paragraph of PROPOSAL 1 — THE EXTENSION FEE REDUCTION PROPOSAL on page 13 of the Definitive Proxy Statement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

Under the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal, the Company is seeking the approval of its shareholders to reduce the amount the Sponsor or its affiliates must deposit into the Trust Account to be $70,000 for all outstanding Public Shares. The Board believes that the approval of Proposal 1 will provide the Sponsor with more incentive to fund the Monthly Extension Fees required for the Extensions that are required for the Company to complete an initial business combination. Accordingly, the Board believes that the approval of Proposal 1 is necessary for the Company to be able to consummate an initial business combination. Therefore, the Board has determined that it is in the best interests of our shareholders to approve Proposal 1 to incentivize the Sponsor to fund such Extensions required for us to complete an initial business combination by or before February 23, 2026, which will provide our shareholders with the opportunity to participate in an initial business combination. The funding by the Sponsor of one or more Extensions will be required in order for us to have the opportunity to complete the initial business combination disclosed in our current filings with the SEC.

 

 

10.	The thirteenth paragraph of PROPOSAL 1 — THE EXTENSION FEE REDUCTION PROPOSAL on page 14 of the Definitive Proxy Statement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

If the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal is approved, the Sponsor would be more incentivized to fund additional extensions of the time period within which the Company must complete its initial business combination. Under the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal, in order for the Company to effectuate one or more Extensions until February 23, 2026, the Sponsor and/or its designee would deposit into the Trust Account the Amended Monthly Extension Fee equal to $70,000 for all outstanding Public Shares. The Company will then continue to work to consummating its initial business combination.

 

11.	The resolution to be voted upon as shown on the last page of PROPOSAL 1 — THE EXTENSION FEE REDUCTION PROPOSAL is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution that, in the event that the Company wishes to extend the period of time to consummate a business combination, then for each one-month extension period implemented after the date of this Extraordinary General Meeting, the Amended Monthly Extension Fee contributed by the Sponsor (and/or a designee of the Sponsor) shall be an amount equal to $70,000 for all outstanding Public Shares, be confirmed, adopted, approved and ratified in all respects.”

 

12.	The second last paragraph on the first page of Annex A is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

“WHEREAS, if a Business Combination is not consummated within the initial 9-month period following the closing of the IPO, the Company’s insiders may extend such period twelve times by an additional one-month period each time, up to a maximum of 21 months in the aggregate, by depositing $70,000 for all outstanding Public Shares into the Trust Account (as defined below) prior to the applicable monthly deadline (each, an “Applicable Deadline”), as applicable, for each one-month extension (each, an “Extension”), in exchange for which they will receive promissory notes. However, if the Company enters into a business combination agreement within 9 months following the closing of the IPO, the Company is entitled to an automatic 3-month extension. As a result, the Company will have 12 months (or up to a maximum of 24 months in the aggregate) following the closing of the IPO to consummate an initial Business Combination.”

 

13.	The third full paragraph of the sample letter on the second page of Annex A is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

In accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement, we hereby authorize you to deposit an amount of $70,000 for all outstanding Public Shares, which will be wired to you, into the Trust Account investments upon receipt.

 

14.	The PROPOSAL 1: Extension Fee Reduction Proposal on the proxy card is hereby amended and restated as follows:
