Epiphany Technology Acquisition Corp. Announces Intent to Liquidate
December 16 2022 - 7:20PM
Epiphany Technology Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) announced
today that it will be unable to consummate an initial business
combination and intends to dissolve and liquidate in accordance
with the provisions of its Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended (“Liquidation”). On November 29, 2022,
the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a
definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) in connection
with a special meeting in lieu of an annual meeting of the
stockholders (the “Meeting”) to consider and vote on certain
proposals, including an extension of the date by which the Company
has to complete an initial business combination from January 12,
2023 to July 12, 2023 (the “Extension”), as supplemented on
December 13, 2022. At the time of filing of the Proxy Statement,
the Company was in active discussions with partner companies and
believed it could complete a business combination if the Extension
were to be approved by the stockholders. However, after careful
consideration, the Company has determined it would be unable to
deliver a high quality transaction to stockholders even with an
Extension (we previously reported that no contribution to its trust
account being made in connection with the Extension). Therefore,
due to the recent developments and the current uncertainty
surrounding the implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act of
2022, which provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1%
excise tax on certain repurchases (including redemptions) of stock
by publicly traded domestic corporations that occur after December
31, 2022, the Company intends to proceed with the Liquidation
following the Meeting. The Company expects to hold the Meeting as
originally planned on December 20, 2022 and will continue to accept
redemption requests until 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on December 20,
2022. In connection with the Meeting, the Company anticipates that
the per share price at which public shares will be redeemed from
cash held in the trust account will be approximately $10.10. The
redemption price paid to stockholders not electing to redeem their
shares in connection with the Meeting but in connection with the
Liquidation may be subject to the 1% excise tax on redemptions
after January 1, 2023.
