Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On October 4, 2022, Tekkorp Digital Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) announced that it will: (i) no longer pursue an extension of the date by which it must complete an initial business combination or cease its operations except for the purposes of winding down and redeeming shares held by its public shareholders; (ii) at the previously announced Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company’s shareholders initially contemplated to be held for the purpose of seeking an extension to such date, adjourn the meeting indefinitely without bringing the proposal for such extension to its shareholders; and (iii) not complete its initial business combination by October 26, 2022, the current deadline for such date. A copy of an announcement by the Company related to such determination is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The information in this Item 7.01 and Exhibit 99.1 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 the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
Due to the Company not completing a business combination by October 26, 2022, as required by the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, following October 26, 2022, the Company will as promptly as possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem (the “Redemption”) 100% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Public Shares”). In the Redemption, funds held in the Company’s trust account, less $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and net of taxes payable, will be distributed to each holder of Public Shares on a pro rata basis (such amount, the “Redemption Amount”). Based upon the amount held in the trust account as of September 30, 2022, which was $251,258,990.15, the Company estimates that the per-share Redemption Amount will be approximately $10.05. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless upon the liquidation of the Company.
The Company anticipates that the Public Shares, as well as the Company’s publicly traded units and warrants, will cease trading as of the close of business on October 26, 2022. On the Redemption Date, the Public Shares will be deemed cancelled and will represent only the right to receive the Redemption Amount. The Company has been advised that The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC will file a Form 25 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to delist the Company’s securities. Thereafter, the Company will file a Form 15 with the SEC to terminate the registration of its securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Beneficial owners of the Public Shares held in “street name,” will not need to take any action in order to receive their pro rata portion of the Redemption Amount. Holders of registered Public Shares will need to present their respective shares to the Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, to receive their pro rata portion of the Redemption Amount.
