Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change
in Fiscal Year.
On
January 2, 2024, Nocturne Acquisition Corporation, a special purpose acquisition company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company
(the “Company”) held an extraordinary general meeting (the “Meeting”). At the Meeting, the Company’s
shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Charter
Amendment”) to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination from January 5, 2024 to
February 5, 2024, provided that, in the event that the Company has not consummated a business combination by February 5, 2024, the Company’s
Board of Directors (the “Board”) may, without any approval of the Company’s shareholders, extend the date by
which the Company has to consummate a business combination up to five (5) times, each by one additional month (for a total of up
to five additional months) until July 5, 2024. The Charter Amendment became effective on January 2, 2024 upon approval by the
Company’s shareholders at the Meeting.
The
foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Charter Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 hereto
and is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 5.07. Submission
of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
At
the Meeting, an aggregate of 3,340,000 ordinary shares of the Company, which represents a quorum of the outstanding ordinary shares entitled
to vote as of the record date of December 5, 2023 (the “Record Date”), were represented in person or by proxy at the
Meeting.
At
the Meeting, the Company’s shareholders voted on the following proposal, which was approved:
(1)
The Extension Amendment Proposal — a proposal, by special resolution to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum
and Articles of Association to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from January 5, 2024 to February
5, 2024, provided that, in the event that the Company has not consummated a business combination by February 5, 2024, the Board may, without
any approval of the Company’s shareholders, extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination up to
five (5) times, each by one additional month (for a total of up to five additional months) until July 5, 2024. The following
is a tabulation of the votes with respect to this proposal, which was approved by the Company’s shareholders:
For |
|
Against |
|
Abstain |
3,340,000 |

The
Company had solicited proxies in favor of an adjournment proposal which would have given the Company authority to adjourn the Meeting
to solicit additional proxies. As there were sufficient shares voted in favor of the Extension Amendment Proposal, this proposal was not
voted upon at the Meeting.
In
connection with the Meeting, shareholders holding 332,591 public shares (representing approximately 14.4% of the Company’s outstanding
public shares and approximately 6.4% of the Company’s outstanding ordinary shares generally as of the Record Date) exercised their
right to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account.

Exhibit 3.1
CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT TO THE
AMENDED AND RESTATED
MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION
OF
NOCTURNE ACQUISITION CORPORATION
RESOLVED, as a special resolution,
that the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company be amended by the deletion of the existing Article 48.7
and Article 48.8 in their entirety and the insertion of the following language in their place:
| “48.7 | Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in the Articles or in the prospectus relating to the IPO, in the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination
by February 5, 2024; provided that, in the event that the Company has not consummated a Business Combination by February 5,
2024, the Directors may, without approval of the Members, extend the term of the Company up to five (5) times (with each such extension
being upon five (5) days’ advance notice in writing), each by one additional month (for a total of up to five additional months)
until July 5, 2024 (the “Outside Date”), the Company shall: |
| (a) | cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; |
| (b) | as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business
days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-Share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the
Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company (less taxes
payable and up to US$100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then Public Shares in issue, which redemption
will completely extinguish public Members’ rights as Members (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions,
if any); and |
| (c) | as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption,
subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining Members and the Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to its
obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of Applicable Law.” |
| 48.8 | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Articles or
in the prospectus relating to the IPO, in the event that any amendment is made to the Articles subsequent to January 2, 2024: |
| (a) | to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation
to allow redemption in connection with a Business Combination or redeem 100 per cent of the Public Shares if the Company does not consummate
a Business Combination by the Outside Date; or |
| (b) | with respect to any other provision relating to Members’
rights or pre-Business Combination activity, each holder of Public Shares who is not the Sponsor, a Founder, Officer or Director shall
be provided with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon the approval or effectiveness of any such amendment at a per-Share
price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held
in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares.
The Company’s ability to provide such redemption in this Article is subject to the Redemption Limitation.” |
