On February 16, 2023, Silver Spike Acquisition Corp II (“SSPK”) filed a definitive proxy
statement (the “Extension Proxy Statement”) for an extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders originally to be held on March 6, 2023 and adjourned to March 10, 2023 at 12:00 PM ET,
(the “Extraordinary General Meeting”) to consider and act upon a proposal to extend the date (the “Termination Date”) by which
SSPK must complete an initial business combination to June 15, 2023 (the “Articles Extension Date”) and to allow SSPK, without the need for another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date to consummate a business combination on a monthly basis, for up to nine times, by an additional one month each time, after the Articles Extension Date, by resolution of
SSPK’s board of directors, if requested by Silver Spike Sponsor II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The Extension Proxy Statement was mailed to SSPK shareholders of record as of February 13, 2023. Shareholders may obtain a copy of the
Extension Proxy Statement at the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov).
SSPK intends to open and promptly adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting indefinitely. All SSPK shareholders of record as of the close of business on
February 13, 2023 are entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. SSPK shareholders who have not already voted, or wish to change their vote, are strongly encouraged to submit their proxies as soon as possible. Valid proxies submitted by
shareholders prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting will continue to be valid for purposes of the rescheduled Extraordinary General Meeting. For more information on how to vote, please call SSPK’s proxy solicitor, Morrow Sodali, at (800) 662-5200
for shareholders or (203) 658-9400 for bankers and brokers or email SPKB.info@investor.morrowsodali.com.
