Item
1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 11, 2023, Acri Capital
Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). At the
Special Meeting, the stockholders of the Company approved, among others, the proposal to amend the Amended and Restated Investment Management
Trust Agreement, dated June 9, 2022, by and between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, acting as trustee (the
“Trust Agreement”), to extend the liquidation date from March 14, 2023 to July 14, 2023, or, if further extended
by up to nine one-month extensions, up to April 14, 2024 . Upon the stockholders’ approval, on July 12, 2023, the
Company and the trustee entered into the Amendment to the Investment Management Trust Agreement (the “Trust Amendment”).
A copy of the Trust Amendment
is attached to this Current Report on 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The disclosure set forth under
Item 2.03 is incorporated by reference with respect to the Note (as defined below).
Item 2.03 Creation
of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant
On
July 12, 2023, an aggregate of $75,000 (the “First New Monthly Extension Payment”) was deposited into the trust account
of the Company for the public shareholders, which enables the Company to extend the period of time it has to consummate its initial business
combination by one month from July 14, 2023 to August 14, 2023 (the “Extension”). The Extension is the first of the
nine one-month extensions permitted under the Company’s governing documents.
In
connection with the First New Monthly Extension Payment, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note of $75,000 (the “Note”)
to its sponsor, Acri Capital Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”).
The
Note is non-interest bearing and payable (subject to the waiver against trust provisions) on the earlier of (i) consummation of the Company’s
initial business combination and (ii) the date of the liquidation of the Company. The principal balance may be prepaid at any time, at
the election of the Company. The holder of the Note has the right, but not the obligation, to convert the Note, in whole or in part, respectively,
into private placement warrants (the “Warrants”) of the Company, as described in the prospectus of the Company (File
Number 333-263477), by providing the Company with written notice of its intention to convert the Note at least two business days prior
to the closing of the Company’s initial business combination. The number of Warrants to be received by the holder in connection
with such conversion shall be an amount determined by dividing (x) the sum of the outstanding principal amount payable to the holder,
by (y) $1.00.
The
issuance of the Note was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended.
A
copy of the Note is attached as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The disclosures
set forth in this Item 2.03 are intended to be summaries only and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Note.
Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation
or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On July 11, 2023, at
the Special Meeting, the stockholders of the Company approved the proposal to amend Company’s amended and restated certificate
of incorporation (the “Charter”) to allow the Company until July 14, 2023 to consummate an initial business combination,
and, without another stockholder vote, to elect to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a business combination on a monthly
basis for up to nine (9) times, up to April 14, 2024, by depositing the lesser of (i) $75,000 and (ii) $0.045 for
each public share to the Company’s trust account. Upon the stockholders’ approval, on July 12, 2023, the Company filed a certificate
of amendment to the Charter which became effective upon filing. A copy of the certificate of amendment to the Charter is attached to this
Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
OF
ACRI CAPITAL ACQUISITION CORPORATION
July

was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on February 9, 2023 (the “First Amendment”). |
2. | This

3. | This
Second Amendment, which both restates and amends the provisions of the First Amended and Restated Certificate, was duly adopted by the
Board of Directors of the Corporation and the stockholders of the Corporation in accordance with Section 228 and 242 of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. |
4. | This
Second Amendment shall become effective on the date of filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. |
5. | The
text of Section 9.1(a) is hereby amended and restated to read in full as follows: |
Section 9.1(a) The
provisions of this Article IX shall apply during the period commencing upon the effectiveness of this Amended and Restated Certificate

6. | The
text of Section 9.1(c) is hereby amended and restated to read in full as follows: |

the event that the Corporation has not consummated an initial Business Combination by July 14, 2023, the Sponsor may request that

Trust Account and shall be used to fund the redemption of the Offering Shares in accordance with this Article IX; (iv) if the
Corporation completes its initial Business Combination, it will, at the option of the Sponsor, repay the amount loaned under the promissory
note out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to it or issue securities of the Corporation in lieu of repayment in accordance
with the terms of the promissory note; and (v) if the Corporation does not complete a Business Combination by the Deadline Date,
the Corporation will not repay the amount loaned under the promissory note until 100% of the Offering Shares have been redeemed and only
in connection with the liquidation of the Corporation to the extent funds are available outside of the Trust Account.

2. | Conversion Rights. The Payee has the right, but not the obligation, to convert this Note, in whole

this Note at least two business days prior to the closing of a Business Combination, this Note shall be deemed to be converted on such

4. | Application of Payments. All payments shall be applied first to payment in full of any costs incurred
in the collection of any sum due under this Note, including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s and auditor’s fees and
expenses, then to the payment in full of any late charges, and finally to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of this Note. |
5. | Events of Default. The following shall constitute an event of default (each, an “Event

by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Maker or for any substantial
part of its property, or the making by it of any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the failure of the Maker generally to pay
its debts as such debts become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Maker in furtherance of any of the foregoing. |
| (c) | Involuntary Bankruptcy, etc. The entry of a decree or order for relief by a court having jurisdiction
in the premises in respect of the Maker in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or appointing

under this Note. |

or any such indebtedness is not paid when due or, as the case may be, within any applicable grace period. |
| (f) | Enforcement Proceedings. A distress, attachment, execution or other legal process is levied or
enforced on or against any assets of the Maker which is not discharged or stayed within 30 days. |
| (g) | Unlawfulness and Invalidity. It is or becomes unlawful for the Maker to perform any of its obligations

for payment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, and notice of protest with regard to the Note, all errors, defects and imperfections
in any proceedings instituted by the Payee under the terms of this Note, and all benefits that might accrue to the Maker by virtue of
any present or future laws exempting any property, real or personal, or any part of the proceeds arising from any sale of any such property,

for payment; and the Maker agrees that any real estate that may be levied upon pursuant to a judgment obtained by virtue hereof or any
writ of execution issued hereon, may be sold upon any such writ in whole or in part in any order desired by the Payee. |
| 9. | Unconditional Liability. The Maker hereby waives all notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance,
performance, default, or enforcement of the payment of this Note, and agrees that its liability shall be unconditional, without regard
to the liability of any other party, and shall not be affected in any manner by any indulgence, extension of time, renewal, waiver or
