Item 8.01. Other Events

 

On May 26, 2023, InterPrivate III Financial Partners Inc. (the “Company”) filed a definitive proxy statement (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”) for the solicitation of proxies in connection with a special meeting of the Company's stockholders to be held on June 5, 2023 (the “Special Meeting”) to consider and vote on, among other proposals, the extension (the “Extension”) of the time period the Company has to complete an initial business combination (the “Business Combination”).

 

The Company completed withdrawals from its trust account to pay the remaining balance due on the Company’s 2022 taxes, as well as to pay for the Company’s estimated 2023 YTD taxes. The value of the trust account as of May 31, 2023 taking into account such withdrawals was $20,794,955.73. Given the amount remaining in trust, the Company now estimates that the per-share price at which the public shares may be redeemed from cash held in the trust account will be approximately $10.39.

 

Participants in the Solicitation

 

The Company and its directors and executive officers and other persons may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the Company’s stockholders in respect of the Extension. Information regarding the Company’s directors and executive officers is available in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. Additional information regarding the participants in the proxy solicitation and a description of their direct and indirect interests are contained in the Definitive Proxy Statement.

 

No Offer or Solicitation

 

This communication shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which the offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

Additional Information

 

The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) the Definitive Proxy Statement in connection with the Special Meeting to consider and vote upon the Extension and other matters and, beginning on May 26, 2023, mailed the Definitive Proxy Statement and other relevant documents to its stockholders as of the May 15, 2023 record date for the Special Meeting. The Company’s stockholders and other interested persons are advised to read the Definitive Proxy Statement and any other relevant documents that have been or will be filed with the SEC in connection with the Company’s solicitation of proxies for the Special Meeting because these documents will contain important information about the Company, the Extension and related matters. Stockholders may also obtain a free copy of the Definitive Proxy Statement, as well as other relevant documents that have been or will be filed with the SEC, without charge, at the SEC’s website located at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to Morrow Sodali LLC, at (203) 658-9400 (call collect), (800) 662-5200 (call toll-free), or by sending an email to IPVF.info@investor.morrowsodali.com.
