Item 8.01. Other Events
On September 2, 2022, Minority Equality Opportunities Acquisition Inc. (“MEOA”) issued a press release announcing that its board of directors had approved an extension of the date by which MEOA has to consummate a business combination from August 30, 2022 to November 30, 2022 (the “Extension”), as permitted under MEOA’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”). In connection with the Extension, an affiliate of Minority Equality Opportunities Acquisition Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”), MEOA’s sponsor, deposited an aggregate of $1,265,000 (representing $0.10 per public share) into MEOA’s trust account. This deposit was made in respect of a non-interest bearing loan to MEOA (the “Extension Loan”), which Extension Loan is evidenced by an unsecured promissory note issued by MEOA (the “Extension Note”). If MEOA completes an initial business combination by November 30, 2022, or such later date as may be determined in accordance with the Charter, MEOA will, at the option of the Sponsor (or its designee), (i) repay the Extension Loan out of the proceeds of MEOA’s trust account that are released to MEOA, or (ii) convert a portion or all of the Extension Loan into warrants of MEOA at a price of $1.00 per warrant, which warrants will be identical to the private placement warrants issued to the Sponsor at the time of MEOA’s initial public offering. If MEOA does not complete its initial business combination on or prior to November 30, 2022, or such later date as may be determined in accordance with the Charter, MEOA will only repay the Extension Loan from funds held outside of its trust account.
A copy of the form of Extension Note and of the press release are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 99.1, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
