INTRODUCTORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A (“Amendment No. 1”)
amends the Current Report on Form 8-K of Aries I Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”),
filed on March 21, 2023 (the “Original Report”), in which the Company reported the redemption all of its outstanding Class
A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 (the “Public Shares”).
This Amendment No. 1 is being filed to clarify that the effective date of the redemption shall be March 31, 2023.
This Amendment No. 1 does not amend any other item of the Original Report (except as otherwise expressly stated herein) or purport to
provide an update or a discussion of any developments at the Company or its subsidiaries subsequent to the filing date of the Original
Report, except as otherwise expressly stated herein.
The information previously reported in or filed with the Original Report is hereby incorporated by reference to this Amendment No. 1.
Terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Original Report. The information provided herein relates
to Orchestra prior to the consummation of the Business Combination unless otherwise specifically indicated (e.g., with respect
to subsequent events disclosures, forward-looking statements, or potential future risk factors) or the context otherwise requires.
On March 21, 2023, Aries I Acquisition Corporation
(the “Company”) announced that it will not seek an extension of the time to complete an initial business combination and that
it will redeem all of its outstanding Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 (the “Public Shares”), effective as of the
close of business on March 31, 2023, because the Company will not consummate an initial business combination within the time period required
by its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Articles”).
As stated in the Company’s Articles and
in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333- 253806), initially filed with the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on March 3, 2021, if the Company is unable to complete an initial business combination
within 24 months (or by March 21, 2023 as set forth in the Articles) of the Company’s initial public offering, the Company will:
(i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) 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
Company’s trust account (the “Trust Account”), including interest earned on the Trust Account and not previously released
to the Company to pay tax obligations, if any, less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses, divided by the number of the
issued and Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the
right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption,
subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of
the foregoing clauses (ii) and (iii), to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors, and in all cases
subject to the other requirements of applicable law.
The per-share redemption price for the Public
Shares will be approximately $10.51 (the “Redemption Amount”). The balance of the Trust Account as of March 8, 2023 was approximately
$24,057,655. In accordance with the terms of the related trust agreement, the Company expects to retain $100,000 of the interest and dividend
income from the Trust Account to pay dissolution expenses.
After the redemption is complete, the Public Shares
will be deemed cancelled and will represent only the right to receive the Redemption Amount.
The Redemption Amount will be payable to the holders
of the Public Shares upon delivery of their shares or units to the Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust
Company. Beneficial owners of Public Shares held in “street name,” however, will not need to take any action in order to receive
the Redemption Amount.
There will be no redemption rights or liquidating
distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless.
The Company’s sponsor has waived its redemption
rights with respect to the outstanding founder shares and private placement warrants. After the redemption is complete, the Company shall
cease all operations except for those required to wind up the Company’s business.
The Company expects that The Nasdaq Stock Market
LLC will file a Form 25 with the Commission in order to delist the Company’s securities. The Company thereafter expects to file
a Form 15 with the Commission to terminate the registration of the Company’s securities under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended.
