On September 8, 2023, Embrace Change Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) and Wuren Fubao Inc., the Company’s sponsor (the “Sponsor”), deposited into the Company’s trust account a principal amount of $900,000 and $100,000, respectively, in order to extend the period of time the Company has to complete a business combination for an additional one (1) month period, from September 12, 2023 to October 12, 2023.
On September 8, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Extension Fee Note”), effective as of September 8, 2023, in an amount of $10,000 to the Sponsor. The Extension Fee Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the consummation of the Company’s business combination. It is convertible at the Sponsor’s election upon the consummation of the Company’s business combination. Upon such election, the Extension Fee Note will convert, at a price of $10.00 per unit, into units identical to the private placement units issued in connection with the Company’s initial public offering.
The Extension Fee Note is filed as Exhibit 10.1.
