Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

As approved by its stockholders at the special meeting of stockholders held on November 6, 2023 (the “Special Meeting”), Monterey Capital Acquisition Corporation (the “Company” or “MCAC”) entered into an amendment to the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of May 10, 2022 (the “Trust Agreement”), with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company on November 6, 2023 (the “Trust Amendment”). The Trust Amendment allows the Company to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination (the “Combination Period”) up to an additional six (6) times for one (1) month each time from November 13, 2023 to May 13, 2024 by depositing into the trust account, for each one-month extension, the lesser of (a) $414,000 and (b) $0.045 per share (the “Extension Payment”) for each then-outstanding share of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, issued in the Company’s initial public offering (the “Public Shares”) after giving effect to the redemption of the Public Shares for the redemption price. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Trust Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year

 

The information disclosed in Item 5.07 of this Report under the headings “The Extension Amendment Proposal” and “The Redemption Limitation Proposal” is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.03 to the extent required. On November 6, 2023, to effectuate the Extension and the Redemption Limitation Amendment, the Company filed an amendment (the “Extension Amendment”) to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended, the “Charter”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The foregoing description of the Extension Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Extension Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

 

On November 6, 2023, the Company convened the Special Meeting. As of the close of business on October 2, 2023, the record date for the Special Meeting, there was an aggregate of 11,638,000 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding (consisting of 9,338,000 Public Shares and 2,300,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Common Stock” and, together with the Public Shares, the “Common Stock”)), each of which was entitled to one vote with respect to the proposals presented at the Special Meeting. A total of 9,664,121 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 83.03% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, were present in person or by proxy, constituting a quorum. The proposals listed below are described in more detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 11, 2023. A summary of the proposals presented to and considered by the stockholders of the Company and the voting results at the Special Meeting is set forth below:

 

The Extension Amendment Proposal – To amend the Company’s Charter to provide the Company’s board of directors with the right to extend (the “Extension”) the Combination Period up to an additional six (6) times for one (1) month each time, from November 13, 2023 to May 13, 2024 (as extended, the “Extended Date”) (i.e., for a period of time ending 24 months after the consummation of its initial public offering (the “IPO”)) (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”).

 

For	Against	Abstain

The Trust Amendment Proposal – To approve the adoption of the Trust Amendment to the Trust Agreement, to allow the Company to extend the Combination Period up to an additional six (6) times for one (1) month each time from November 13, 2023 to May 13, 2024, the Extended Date, by depositing into the Company’s trust account, for each one-month extension, the Extension Payment for each then-outstanding share of the Company’s Public Shares after giving effect to the redemption of the Public Shares for the redemption price (the “Trust Amendment Proposal”).

 

 

For	Against	Abstain
9,664,121	0	0

 

The Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal – To amend (the “Redemption Limitation Amendment”) the Company’s Charter to eliminate from the Charter the limitation that the Company shall not redeem public shares to the extent that such redemption would cause the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 (the “Redemption Limitation”). The Redemption Limitation Amendment would allow the Company to redeem public shares irrespective of whether such redemption would exceed the Redemption Limitation (the “Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal” and together with Extension Amendment Proposal, the “Extension Proposals”).

 

For	Against	Abstain
9,664,121	0	0

 

The Adjournment Proposal – The proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes to approve the Extension Proposals or if we determine that additional time is necessary to effectuate the Extension, was not presented at the Special Meeting, as the Extension Proposals received a sufficient number of votes for approval.

 

Stockholders holding 1,961,875 Public Shares, representing approximately 21% of the Public Shares outstanding, exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s trust account.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws with respect to the proposed transaction between MCAC and ConnectM Technology Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ConnectM”). All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this report are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, but not limited to, the following risks relating to the proposed transaction: the risk that the transaction may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of MCAC securities; the failure to satisfy the conditions to closing the transaction, including the requisite approvals by the stockholders of MCAC and the receipt of certain governmental and regulatory approvals; the risk that some or all of MCAC’s stockholders may redeem their shares in connection with the vote to amend MCAC’s certificate of incorporation and trust agreement or the closing of the transaction; the effect of the announcement or pendency of the transaction on the ConnectM’s business relationships and business generally; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted related to the transaction; the ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the transaction; and ConnectM may use its capital resources sooner than it expects. Moreover, ConnectM operates in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified and some of which are beyond MCAC’s and ConnectM’s control, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive, and you should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the registration statement on Form S-4 discussed below and other documents filed by MCAC’s from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and except as required by law. MCAC and ConnectM assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Neither MCAC nor ConnectM gives any assurance that either MCAC or ConnectM or the combined company will achieve its expectations.

The gross proceeds from such Extension Payments will be added to the proceeds from the Offering held in the Trust Account and shall be used to fund the redemption of the Offering Shares in accordance with this clause (d).

 

In the event that the Corporation has not consummated an initial Business Combination by or before the Termination Date, the Corporation shall (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the Offering Shares in consideration of a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to the Corporation to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), by (B) the total number of then outstanding Offering Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the Public Stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Board in accordance with applicable law, dissolve and liquidate, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to the Corporation’s obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law.”

RESOLVED, that Section 9.2(f) of Article IX of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the corporation is amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

4.        That thereafter, said amendment was duly adopted in accordance with the provisions of Section 242 of the DGCL by written consent of stockholders holding the requisite number of shares required by statute given in accordance with and pursuant to Section 228 of the DGCL.
