January 25 2023 - 4:15PM
Business Wire
Pathfinder Acquisition Corporation (NASDAQ: PFDR), (“Pathfinder”
or the “Company”), announced today that its previously announced
extraordinary general meeting (the “Shareholder Meeting”)
originally scheduled for Wednesday, February 1, 2023, at 10:00
a.m., Eastern Time, is being postponed to February 17, 2023, at
10:00 a.m., Eastern Time (the “Postponement”).
At the Shareholder Meeting, shareholders will be asked to vote
on the following proposals: (1) to amend the Company’s second
amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the
“Memorandum and Articles of Association”) to eliminate the
requirement that Pathfinder retain at least $5,000,001 of net
tangible assets following the redemption of the Company’s Class A
ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, issued as part of the
units sold in the Company’s initial public offering (“Public
Shares” or “Class A ordinary shares”), in connection with an
initial business combination (such limitation, the “Redemption
Limitation”) and to authorize the Company to redeem Public Shares
in amounts that would cause Pathfinder’s net tangible assets to be
less than $5,000,001 (the “Redemption Limit Elimination Proposal”);
(2) to amend the Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend
(the “Extension”) the date by which the Company has to consummate a
business combination from February 19, 2023 to May 19, 2023 (the
“Charter Extension Date”) and to allow Pathfinder, without another
shareholder vote, by resolution of Pathfinder’s board of directors,
to elect to further extend the Charter Extension Date by one month,
for a total of four months, until June 19, 2023, unless the closing
of a business combination has occurred prior thereto (the
“Extension Amendment Proposal”); and (3) to adjourn the Shareholder
Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further
solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote
at the time of the Shareholder Meeting, there are insufficient
Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares, par value
$0.0001 per share (the “Class B ordinary shares”), in the capital
of the Company represented (either in person or by proxy) to
constitute a quorum necessary to conduct business at the
Shareholder Meeting to approve the Redemption Limit Elimination
Proposal or the Extension Amendment Proposal.
As a result of this Postponement, the Shareholder Meeting will
now be held at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on February 17, 2023. The
Shareholder Meeting will still be held at the offices of Kirkland
& Ellis LLP at 609 Main Street, Suite 4700, Houston, Texas
77002 and virtually via live webcast at

result of this change, the Company has extended the deadline for
delivery of redemption requests from the Company’s shareholders
from 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on January 30, 2023, to 5:00 p.m.,
Eastern Time, on February 15, 2023.
Shareholders who wish to withdraw their previously submitted
redemption request may do so prior to the postponed Shareholder
Meeting by requesting that the Company’s transfer agent return such
shares by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on February 15, 2023. If any such
