Item 7.01. |
Regulation
FD Disclosure. |
On
June 6, 2024, Compass Digital Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), entered into a
non-binding letter of intent with a renewable energy platform company for an initial business combination.
Completion
of the transaction is subject to, among other matters, the completion of due diligence, the negotiation of a definitive agreement providing
for the transaction, satisfaction of the conditions negotiated therein and approval of the transaction by the Company’s shareholders.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance that a definitive agreement will be entered into or that the proposed transaction will be consummated.
The
information in this Item 7.01 is furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to liabilities under that section, and shall not
be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the filings of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings. This Amended Form 8-K will not
be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information of the information in this Item 7.01.
Postponement
of the Meeting
The
Company has determined to postpone the extraordinary general meeting in lieu of an annual general meeting of the shareholders of the
Company (the “Meeting”), initially scheduled to occur on Monday, July 15, 2024 at 12:00 p.m., Eastern Time, to Thursday,
July 18, 2024, at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time. As previously disclosed, the purpose of the Meeting is to, among other things, approve an
amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, as amended and currently in effect, with
immediate effect, to extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination from July 19, 2024 to December
19, 2024, and then on a monthly basis up to four (4) times until April 19, 2025 (or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s
board of directors (the “Extension”)). The Meeting will be held in person at the offices of Ellenoff Grossman &
Schole LLP, located at 1345 Avenue of the Americas, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10105. The deadlines by which shareholders
must (i) exercise their redemption rights in connection with the vote to approve the Extension and (ii) reserve their attendance at the
Meeting has been extended to Tuesday, July 16, 2024, at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, which is two business days prior to the Meeting.
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 shareholders in respect of the Meeting and related matters. Information regarding the Company’s directors and
executive officers is available in the definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A (the “Proxy Statement”). Additional
information regarding the participants in the proxy solicitation and a description of their direct and indirect interests are contained
in the 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.
Additional
Information
The
Company has filed the Proxy Statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with
the Meeting to consider and vote upon the Extension, the Auditor Ratification and other matters and, beginning on or about June 25, 2024,
mailed the Proxy Statement and other relevant documents to its shareholders as of the June 13, 2024, the record date for the Meeting.
The Company’s shareholders and other interested persons are advised to read the 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 Meeting because these
documents contain important information about the Company, the Extension, the Auditor Ratification and related matters. Shareholders
may also obtain a free copy of the 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: Compass Digital Acquisition Corp., 195
