Moringa Acquisition Corp (Nasdaq: MACA) (“
Moringa”
or the “
Company”) announced today that, in
connection with its previously announced extraordinary general
meeting in lieu of the 2023 annual general meeting of shareholders
of the Company to be held at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time/4:00 p.m. local
(Israel) time on August 16, 2023 (the
“
Extraordinary Meeting”) for the
purpose of considering and voting on, among other proposals, a
proposal to extend the date by which the Company must consummate an
initial business combination (the “
Extension”)
from August 19, 2023 (the “
Current
Termination Date”) to August 19, 2024 or such
earlier date as may be determined by the Company’s board of
directors, in its sole discretion (such new termination date, the
“
Extension Date”), the Company’s
sponsor, Moringa Sponsor, L.P., and/or its wholly-owned subsidiary
Moringa Sponsor (US) L.P. (collectively, the
“
Sponsor”), or the Sponsor’s designees, will make
additional contributions to the Company’s trust account following
the approval and implementation of the Extension.
If the requisite shareholder proposals are approved at the
Extraordinary Meeting and the Extension is implemented, the Sponsor
or its designees will deposit into the Company’s trust account as a
loan (a “Contribution”, and the Sponsor or its
designee making such Contribution, a
“Contributor”), on the Current Termination Date,
and the 19th day of each subsequent calendar month until, but
excluding, the Extension Date, the lesser of (x) $15,000 and (y)
$0.025 per public share multiplied by the number of public shares
outstanding on such applicable date (each date on which a
Contribution is to be deposited into the trust account, a
“Contribution Date”).
The Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for, nor has
the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor will have
sufficient funds to satisfy, any such Contributions. If a
Contributor fails to make a Contribution by an applicable
Contribution Date, the Company will liquidate and dissolve as soon
as practicable after such date and in accordance with the Company’s
Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, as
amended. The Contributions will be evidenced by a non-interest
bearing, unsecured promissory note and will be repayable by the
Company upon consummation of an initial business combination. If
the Company does not consummate an initial business combination by
the Extension Date, any such promissory notes will be repaid only
from funds held outside of the trust account or will be forfeited,
eliminated or otherwise forgiven. Any Contribution is conditioned
on the approval of the requisite shareholder proposals at the
Extraordinary Meeting and the implementation of the Extension. No
Contribution will occur if such proposals are not approved or the
Extension is not implemented. If the Company has consummated an
initial business combination or announced its intention to commence
winding up prior to any Contribution Date, any obligation to make
Contributions will terminate.
The Company expects that the proceeds held in the trust account
will continue to be invested in United States government treasury
bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds
investing solely in U.S. Treasuries and meeting certain conditions
under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, as determined by the Company, or in an interest bearing
demand deposit account, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of
the Company’s initial business combination, or (ii) the
liquidation, and distribution of the proceeds from, the trust
account.
Further information related to attendance, voting and the
proposals to be considered and voted on at the Extraordinary
Meeting is described in the definitive proxy statement related to
the Extraordinary Meeting filed by the Company with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 26,
2023 (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”), as
supplemented by Moringa’s supplemental notification regarding the
Extraordinary Meeting filed with the SEC under cover of Schedule
14A on August 10, 2023 (the “Supplement”).
