On June 28, 2023, GSR II Meteora Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) will convene a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) to vote on certain proposals including a proposal to approve and adopt the Transaction Agreement, dated as of August 24, 2022 (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Transaction Agreement”), by and among the Company, GSR II Meteora Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), Lux Vending, LLC dba Bitcoin Depot (“BT OpCo”), BT HoldCo LLC (“BT HoldCo”) and BT Assets, Inc. (“BT Assets”), and the transaction contemplated thereunder (such transactions, the “Business Combination” and the proposal the “Business Combination Proposal”). The Business Combination Proposal and such other proposals are described in more detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement dated June 16, 2023. In connection with the Business Combination Proposal, stockholders of the Company received a right to redeem their shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s trust account (the “Trust Account”). The deadline to submit such redemptions was 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on June 26, 2023.
In connection with the Business Combination Proposal, the Company received redemption requests for 3,686,863 shares of Class A Common Stock. As of June 26, 2023, 3,455,156 shares of Class A Common Stock remained following the submission and non-reversal of the aforementioned redemption requests. Holders of the Company’s Class A Common Stock who previously submitted a redemption request may reverse such redemption request at any time prior to the Special Meeting and, accordingly, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding may change.
As a result, the Company estimates that as of June 28, 2023, the date of the Special Meeting, approximately $38,269,637.94 (approximately $10.38 per share) will be removed from the Trust Account to pay such redeeming holders.
