Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 25, 2023, Project Energy Reimagined Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) entered into one or more agreements (the “Non-Redemption Agreements”) with one or more unaffiliated third parties in exchange for them each agreeing not to redeem an aggregate of 760,000 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Ordinary Shares”), sold in the Company’s initial public offering (“public shares”) in connection with the extraordinary general meeting in lieu of the 2023 annual general meeting of shareholders of the Company (the “Meeting”) to be held on August 1, 2023 at 12:00 p.m., Eastern Time, at which Meeting a proposal to extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination from August 2, 2023 to May 2, 2024, or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board of directors (the “Extension”) will be voted upon by the Company’s shareholders, among other proposals set forth in the Proxy Statement (as defined below) for the Meeting (collectively, the “Proposals”).
In exchange for the foregoing commitments not to redeem such public shares, the Company has agreed to issue or cause to be issued to each such investor 138,000 Class A Ordinary Shares at the time of the Company’s initial business combination. In addition, the Company has agreed that it will not utilize any funds from the trust account established in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (the “Trust Account”) to pay any potential excise taxes that may become due pursuant to the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 upon a redemption of public shares, including in connection with the Extension, an initial business combination or liquidation of the Company.
The Non-Redemption Agreements are not expected to increase the likelihood that any of the Proposals are approved by the Company’s shareholders but are expected to increase the amount of funds that remain in the Trust Account following the Meeting. The Company may enter into additional, similar non-redemption agreements in connection with the Meeting.
The foregoing summary of the Non-Redemption Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Non-Redemption Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
