Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

 

Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation

 

As described in Item 5.03 below, which description is incorporated herein by reference, the stockholders entitled to vote (the “Stockholders”) of Zalatoris Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), approved the Charter Amendment at the Special Meeting and subsequently filed the Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

 

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

At a virtual special meeting of Stockholders pursuant to due notice held on January 12, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. ET (the “Special Meeting”), the Stockholders approved an amendment to its current certificate of incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) at the Special Meeting, changing (A) the structure and cost of the Company’s right to extend the date (each such date, the “Deadline Date”) by which the Company must liquidate its trust account (the “Trust Account”) if the Company has not completed its initial business combination (the “business combination”; such proposal in (A), the “Extension Amendment Proposal”), and (B) the right of the holders of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock” or “Founder Shares”) to convert such shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”) on a one-to-one basis at the election of such holders (the “Founder Share Amendment Proposal”), and (C) the right of the directors of the Company to take any action required to be taken at a meeting of the board of directors (the “Board”) or at a meeting of a committee thereof without holding such a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the actions to be taken, is signed by a majority of the Board or a majority of the members of any committee, as the case may be (the “Action by Written Consent Amendment Proposal” and, together with the Founder Share Amendment Proposal, the “Additional Charter Amendment Proposals”).

 

The Extension Amendment Proposal allows the Company to extend through November 14, 2024 (or until the business combination is consummated, if earlier) the Deadline Date, provided that by the 14th calendar day of each of such eleven months unless the Company’s initial business combination has been consummated earlier and in exchange for a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note payable upon consummation of the business combination, J. Streicher Holdings, LLC, the Company’s sponsor, or its affiliates or permitted designees deposits into the Trust Account $100,000.

 

The Founder Share Amendment Proposal allows the holders of Class B Common Stock to convert their shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock, on a one-for-one basis, at any point in time prior to the completion of the business combination. Such conversions would give the Company further flexibility to complete the business combination.

The Action by Written Consent Amendment Proposal allows the Board flexibility to act in furtherance of the business combination by allowing the Board to take any action required to be taken at a meeting of the Board or at a meeting of a committee thereof without holding such a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the actions to be taken, is signed by a majority of the Board or a majority of the members of any committee, as the case may be.

 

Following receipt of Stockholder’s approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Additional Charter Amendment Proposals, the Company filed the Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The foregoing summary is qualified by the full text of the Charter Amendment, which is included as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

 

On January 12, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. ET, the Company held the Special Meeting. On the record date of December 28, 2023, there were 6,343,742 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. At the Special Meeting, the Stockholders voted on two of the three proposals presented—the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Additional Charter Amendment Proposals, each as described in the definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A dated January 3, 2024. The Stockholders cast their votes as described below:

Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

Redemption of Public Shares

 

In connection with the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal, holders of 3,465,997 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock exercised their right to redeem those shares for cash at an approximate price of $10.67 per share, for an aggregate of approximately $37 million. Following the payment of the redemptions, the Trust Account will have a balance of approximately $31.75 million before the Extension Payment.

 

Extension Payment

 

On January 16, 2024, the Company deposited an aggregate of $100,000 (the “Extension Payment”) into the Trust Account, which enables the Company to extend the period of time it has to consummate its initial business combination by one month from January 14, 2024 to February 14, 2024 (the “January Extension”). The January Extension is the first of up to eleven monthly extensions permitted under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended by the Charter Amendment, as discussed in Items 5.03 and 5.07 of this report.

 

Additional Information and Where to Find It

 

The Company intends to file a registration statement on Form F-4 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, and including a proxy statement, the “Proxy/Registration Statement”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which Proxy/Registration Statement will be delivered to its stockholders once definitive.

Stockholders will also be able to obtain copies of the Proxy/Registration Statement and other documents filed with the SEC, without charge, once available, at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, or by directing a request to: Zalatoris Acquisition Corp., 99 Wall Street, Suite 5801, New York, New York 10005.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements about future financial and operating results, our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions with respect to future operations, products and services; and other statements identified by words such as “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimated,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “outlook” or words of similar meaning. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the Target’s industry and market sizes, future opportunities for the Company and the Target, the Company’s and the Target’s estimated future results and the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Business Combination Agreement”), dated December 5, 2023, by and between the Company and the Target, including the implied enterprise value, the expected transaction and ownership structure and the likelihood and ability of the parties to successfully consummate the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. Such forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of our management and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond our control. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

 

In addition to factors previously disclosed in the Company’s reports filed with the SEC and those identified elsewhere in this communication, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results and the timing of events to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements: (i) the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the business combination, including the risk that any regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the business combination or that the approval of the stockholders of the Company or the Target is not obtained; (ii) the inability to complete a PIPE offering in connection with the business combination; (iii) the ability to maintain the listing of the Company’s securities on the New York Stock Exchange; (iv) the amount of redemption requests made by the Company’s stockholders; (v) failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the business combination; (vi) risk relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to the Target; (vii) the Target’s exposure to litigation claims and other loss contingencies; (viii) the combined company’s ability to implement its business strategy; (ix) the combined company’s ability to maintain, protect, and enhance its brand and protect its intellectual property; (x) the combined company’s ability to accurately estimate user metrics and other estimates; (xi) changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; (xii) general economic conditions and other factors affecting consumer confidence, preferences, and behavior; (xiii) disruption and volatility in the global currency, capital, and credit markets; (xxix) changes in governmental regulation; (xiv) fluctuations in foreign currency; and (xv) changes in tax laws and liabilities, tariffs, legal, regulatory, political and economic risks.

Actual results, performance or achievements may differ materially, and potentially adversely, from any projections and forward-looking statements and the assumptions on which those forward-looking statements are based. There can be no assurance that the data contained herein is reflective of future performance to any degree. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a predictor of future performance as projected financial information and other information are based on estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to various significant risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. All information set forth herein speaks only as of the date hereof in the case of information about the Company and the Target or the date of such information in the case of information from persons other than the Company or the Target, and we disclaim any intention or obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of developments occurring after the date of this communication. Forecasts and estimates regarding the Target’s industry and end markets are based on sources we believe to be reliable, however there can be no assurance these forecasts and estimates will prove accurate in whole or in part. Annualized, pro forma, projected, and estimated numbers are used for illustrative purpose only, are not forecasts and may not reflect actual results.
