Deadline for Redemptions
Due to procedural error at Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), Continental failed to collect written requests to exercise the redemption rights in connection with the vote at the annual Stockholders’ Meeting of GigCapital5, Inc. (the “GigCapital5”) scheduled for February 20, 2024 (“2024 Annual Meeting”) prior to the deadline on February 15, 2024, two business days prior to the vote at the 2024 Annual Meeting.
Although GigCapital5 is under no obligation to do so, it is willing to give the public stockholders of GigCapital5 the opportunity to redeem their shares of common stock of GigCapital5 and as such, GigCapital5 extends the deadline to submit written requests to exercise the redemption rights to 5:00 pm Eastern time, on February 16, 2024.
Supplement to the BCA Proxy Statement
On February 7, 2024, GigCapital5 filed a definitive proxy statement/prospectus on Form S-4 (the “BCA Proxy Statement”) for the solicitation of proxies in connection with the upcoming 2024 Annual Meeting to consider and vote on its proposed business combination (the “Business Combination”) and other matters as described in BCA Proxy Statement.
GigCapital5 has decided to supplement the BCA Proxy Statement (the “Proxy Supplement”) to provide updated information about the redemption deadline. There is no change to the date, location, the record date, or any of the other proposals to be acted upon at the 2024 Annual Meeting.
Stockholders who have previously submitted their proxies or otherwise voted and who do not want to change their vote need not take any action. Stockholders as of the January 24, 2024 record date can vote, even if they have subsequently sold their shares. Stockholders who wish to withdraw their previously submitted redemption requests may do so prior to the 2024 Annual Meeting by requesting that Continental return such shares prior to the 2024 Annual Meeting.
A copy of the Proxy Supplement is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated to herein by reference.
