On December 13, 2023, bleuacacia ltd (“bleuacacia” or the “Company”) filed a definitive proxy statement (the “Extension Proxy Statement”) for an extraordinary general meeting (the “Meeting”) of its shareholders originally scheduled to be held on December 28, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time to approve, among other things, an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Articles”) to extend the date by which the Company has to complete an initial business combination from February 22, 2024 to November 22, 2024, or such earlier date as Company’s board of directors may approve in accordance with the Articles (the “Extension Proposal”) and an amendment to the Company’s Articles to provide for the right of a holder of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, to convert their Class B Ordinary Shares into Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company on a one-for-one basis at any time and from time to time prior to the closing of a business combination at the election of the holder (the “Founder Share Amendment Proposal”). The board of directors of the Company has decided to postpone the Meeting to January 2, 2024, at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time to allow additional time for the Company to engage with its shareholders.
 
In connection with the postponement of the Meeting, the deadline for shareholders to exercise their right to redeem their Class A ordinary shares for their pro rata portion of the funds available in the Company’s trust account, or to withdraw any previously delivered demand for redemption is extended, to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 28, 2023 (two business days before the date of the Meeting).
 
The postponed meeting will be held on January 2, 2024 at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, at the offices of bleuacacia located at 500 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10110, and conducted remotely by teleconference.
