liquidation of the trust account established in connection with the IPO (the “Trust Account”) to the Amended Termination Date (the “Trust Amendment Proposal” and together with the Charter Amendment Proposal, the “Amendment Proposals”).

3.      Proposal No. 3 — The Adjournment Proposal — to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting from time to time, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies in favor of the Charter Amendment Proposal and/or the Trust Amendment Proposal or if otherwise determined by the chairperson of the Special Meeting to be necessary or appropriate (the “Adjournment Proposal” and, together with the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal, the “Proposals”).

The Company will transact no other business at the Special Meeting, except such business as may properly come before the Special Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof.

Each of the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal is cross-conditioned on the approval of each other. Each of the Proposals is more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement, which you are encouraged to read carefully.

The purpose of the Amendment Proposals is to require the Company to wind up and redeem all of its outstanding Public Shares at such date as may be determined by the Board, but in no event later than December 30, 2022 by ceasing all operations except for the purpose of winding up and redeeming all of our outstanding Public Shares promptly thereafter subject to and in accordance with the Charter and the Trust Agreement, as so amended, which the Board believes is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders. We have determined that it would not be feasible for the Company to complete an initial Business Combination by the Original Termination Date. If the Amendment Proposals are approved and the Charter and the Trust Agreement are amended as proposed, we will, on the Amended Termination Date, or if the Amendment Proposals are not approved, we will, on the Original Termination Date, (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, subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of our Public Shares in consideration of a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate per-share amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), by (B) the total number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the Public Stockholders (as defined below) (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Board in accordance with applicable law, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law. In connection with such liquidation, dissolution and redemption of our securities, the Company’s securities will cease to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange and the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission reporting obligations will be suspended. Any such redemption after December 31, 2022 may be subject to the 1% federal excise tax on share repurchases that could reduce the per-share amount that the Public Stockholders would be entitled to receive in connection with any redemption or liquidation. For more information on this excise tax, see the section in the accompany proxy statement entitled “Questions and Answers About the Proxy Materials and Our Special Meeting — Why should I vote to approve the Amendments?”.

Continental’s role as trustee of the Trust Account is subject to the terms and conditions of the Trust Agreement. The Trust Agreement currently provides that Continental shall commence liquidation of the Trust Account only after and promptly after (x) its receipt of the applicable instruction letter delivered by the Company or (y) the date which is the later of (i) the Original Termination Date and (ii) such later date as may be approved by the Company’s stockholders, if the aforementioned termination letter has not been received by Continental prior to such date.

If the Trust Amendment Proposal is approved, Continental shall commence liquidation of the Trust Account only after and promptly after (x) its receipt of the applicable instruction letter, as set forth in the form attached as Annex B hereto, delivered by the Company or (y) upon the Amended Termination Date, if the aforementioned termination letter has not been received by Continental prior to such date.

Pursuant to the terms of the Charter, in the event the Charter Amendment Proposal is approved and the Charter is amended, holders of Public Shares (“Public Stockholders”) may elect to redeem (“Optional Redemption”) their Public Shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate per-share amount then on deposit in the Trust Account established in connection with the IPO, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-issued and outstanding Public Shares, regardless of how such Public Stockholders vote on the Proposals or if they vote at all. Any Public Stockholders that do not elect to redeem their Public Shares in the Optional Redemption will retain their right to have their shares redeemed for cash if the Company has not completed an initial Business Combination by the Amended Termination Date.

On November 9, 2022, the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account was approximately $347,751,866, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes or dissolution expenses (up to $100,000). On November 9, 2022, the closing price of a share of Class A Common Stock was $10.01. The Company cannot assure stockholders that they will be able to sell their shares of Class A Common Stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when such stockholders wish to sell their shares.

Pursuant to the Charter and in accordance with the specific procedures for redemptions set forth in the accompanying proxy statement, a Public Stockholder may request that the Company redeem all or a portion of such Public Stockholder’s Public Shares for cash if the Charter Amendment Proposal is approved and the Charter is amended. You will be entitled to receive the above-described cash amount for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if you:

(i)     (a) hold Public Shares or (b) hold Public Shares as part of units and elect to separate such units into the underlying (x) Public Shares and (y) warrants included as part of the units sold in the IPO (the “Public Warrants”) prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares; and

(ii)    prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 2, 2022, (a) submit a written request to Continental, the Company’s transfer agent, that the Company redeem your Public Shares for cash and (b) tender or deliver your shares and other redemption forms Continental, physically or electronically through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). Continental must receive such written request, shares and related materials prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 2, 2022 for your redemption election to be considered timely.

Holders of units of the Company must elect to separate the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination by the Original Termination Date or, if the Amendment Proposals are approved and the Charter and Trust Agreement are amended as proposed, the Amended Termination Date. If holders hold their units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank, as applicable, that they elect to separate the units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants, or if a holder holds units registered in its, his or her own name, the holder must contact Continental directly and instruct it to do so. Your broker, bank or other nominee may have an earlier deadline by which you must provide instructions to separate the units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants in order to exercise redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares, so you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee or intermediary. A Public Stockholder that holds its Public Shares in an account at a brokerage firm or bank must identify itself in writing as a beneficial holder and provide its legal name, phone number, and address to Continental in order to validly redeem its Public Shares. Public Stockholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares even if they vote against the Proposals (including if they do not vote at all). However, Public Stockholders will not have their shares redeemed in connection with the Charter Amendment unless the Charter Amendment Proposal is approved and the Charter is amended. In the event that a Public Stockholder tenders its Public Shares for redemption and decides prior to the vote at the Special Meeting that it does not want to redeem its shares, such stockholder may withdraw the tender.

If the Charter Amendment Proposal is approved and the Charter is amended, Public Stockholders who elect to redeem their Public Shares in the Optional Redemption in connection with the effectiveness of the Charter Amendment will receive a per-share redemption price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate per-share amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-issued and outstanding Public Shares. In connection with the dissolution and winding up of the Company, the remaining Public Stockholders will also receive a per-share redemption price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate per-share amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-issued and outstanding Public Shares.

Approval of the Amendment Proposals each require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the total voting power of the then-outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and the Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Class B Common Stock”, and together with the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”) entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class.

Approval of the Adjournment Proposal, if presented, requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast by stockholders present in person (including virtually) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class. The Adjournment Proposal will only be put forth for a vote if either there are not sufficient votes to approve the Charter Amendment Proposal and/or the Trust Amendment Proposal at the Special Meeting or if otherwise determined by the chairperson of the Special Meeting to be necessary or appropriate.

THE COMPANY’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” EACH OF THE CHARTER AMENDMENT PROPOSAL, THE TRUST CHARTER AMENDMENT PROPOSAL AND, IF PRESENTED, THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL.

The Board has fixed 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 26, 2022, as the record date for the Special Meeting (the “Record Date”). Only stockholders of record on the Record Date are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Further information regarding voting rights and the matters to be voted upon is presented in the accompanying proxy statement.

You are not being asked to vote on an initial Business Combination at this time. We have determined that it would not be feasible for the Company to complete an initial Business Combination by the Original Termination Date. If the Amendment Proposals are approved and the Charter and Trust Agreement are amended as proposed, we plan to cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and redeeming all of our outstanding Public Shares promptly thereafter subject to and in accordance with the Charter and the Trust Agreement, as so amended, which the Board believes is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders.

You will be able to attend the Special Meeting online, vote, view the list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Special Meeting and submit your questions during the Special Meeting by visiting https://www.cstproxy.com/missionadvancementcorp/2022. To ensure your representation at the Special Meeting, however, you are urged to complete, sign, date and return your proxy card as soon as possible. If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you must instruct your broker or bank on how to vote your shares. You may revoke your proxy card at any time prior to the Special Meeting.

A stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote by virtual attendance at the Special Meeting will not be counted towards the number of shares required to validly establish a quorum, and if a valid quorum is otherwise established, such failure to vote will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” the Amendment Proposals but will have no effect on the Adjournment Proposal, if presented. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” each of the Amendment Proposals, but will not count as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the Adjournment Proposal, if presented. If you return your proxy card signed and without an indication of how you wish to vote, your shares will be voted “FOR” each of the Proposals. We believe that each of the Proposals is a “non-discretionary” matter, and therefore, there will not be any broker non-votes at the Special Meeting.

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT. Please sign, date and return your proxy card as soon as possible. You are requested to carefully read the accompanying proxy statement and Notice of Special Meeting for a more complete statement of matters to be considered at the Special Meeting.

The Special Meeting is being held to consider and vote upon the following proposals:

1.      Proposal No. 1 — The Charter Amendment Proposal — to approve the adoption of an amendment (the “Charter Amendment”) to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) as set forth in Annex A of this proxy statement to change the date by which the Company must either (i) consummate a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination (a “Business Combination”) with one or more businesses or (ii) cease all operations, except for the purpose of winding up, and, subject to and in accordance with the Charter, redeem all of the shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Class A Common Stock”), included as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”), whether such shares were purchased in the IPO or in the secondary market following the IPO (including shares sold pursuant to the underwriters’ overallotment option, collectively, the “Public Shares”). The Charter proposed Amendment would change the original termination date from March 5, 2023 (the “Original Termination Date”) (24 months from the closing of the IPO) to such date as shall be determined by the Board, in its sole discretion, and publicly announced by the Company, provided that such date shall be no later than December 30, 2022 (such date, the “Amended Termination Date”).

The Company will transact no other business at the Special Meeting, except such business as may properly come before the Special Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof.

The above matters are more fully described in this proxy statement. We urge you to read carefully this proxy statement in its entirety.

If, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Special Meeting, there are insufficient votes from the holders of Common Stock to approve the Charter Amendment Proposal and/or the Trust Amendment Proposal, the Company may move to adjourn the Special Meeting to such later date or dates to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies. If the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved at the Special Meeting, the Adjournment Proposal will not be presented.

Pursuant to the terms of the Charter, in the event the Charter Amendment Proposal is approved and the Charter is amended, holders of Public Shares (“Public Stockholders”) may elect to redeem (“Optional Redemption”) their Public Shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate per-share amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-issued and outstanding Public Shares, regardless of how such Public Stockholders vote on the Proposals or if they vote at all. Any Public Stockholders that do not elect to redeem their Public Shares in the Optional Redemption will retain their right to have their shares redeemed for cash if the Company has not completed an initial Business Combination by the Amended Termination Date.

On November 9, 2022, the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account was approximately $347,751,866, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes or dissolution expenses (up to $100,000).

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This proxy statement contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, including statements regarding our winding up, the redemption of our Public Shares, the consequences of not completing an initial Business Combination, the release of funds held in the Trust Account, the availability of working capital and borrowing capacity and the use of funds outside the Trust Account. Forward-looking statements inherently involve many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in these statements. Where, in any forward-looking statement, we express an expectation or belief as to future results or events, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis, but such statements necessarily involve risks and uncertainties and there can be no assurance that the expectation or belief will result or be achieved or accomplished. The following include some but not all of the factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated:

•        our being a company with no operating history and no revenue;

•        the possibility that we may be unable to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of the Amendment Proposals;

•        the amount of redemptions by our Public Stockholders in connection with the effectiveness of the Charter Amendment;

•        our ability to complete our initial Business Combination;

•        actual and potential conflicts of interest relating to our Sponsor and other entities in which members of our management team are involved;

•        the ability of our officers and directors to generate a number of potential initial Business Combination opportunities;

•        our public securities’ potential liquidity and trading;

•        the lack of a market for our securities;

•        the use of proceeds not held in the Trust Account or available to us from interest income on the Trust Account balance;

•        the Trust Account not being subject to claims of third parties; and

•        our financial performance.

Additional information on these and other factors that may cause actual results and the Company’s performance to differ materially is included in the Company’s periodic reports filed with the SEC, including, but not limited to, our (i) Registration Statement on Form S-1, as filed with the SEC February 09, 2021, as amended, and declared effective on March 2, 2021 (File No. 333-252918 (the “IPO Registration Statement”), (ii) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC on April 1, 2022 (the “2021 Annual Report”), and (iii) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, as filed with the SEC on August 9, 2022 (the “2022 Q2 Quarterly Report”), including those factors described in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” therein. Copies of the Company’s filings with the SEC are available publicly on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or may be obtained by contacting the Company. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. These forward-looking statements are made only as of the date hereof, and the Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to disseminate any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained herein to reflect any change in its expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS AND OUR
SPECIAL MEETING

These Questions and Answers are only summaries of the matters they discuss. They do not contain all of the information that may be important to you. You should read carefully the entire document, including any annexes to this proxy statement.

Why am I receiving this proxy statement?

This proxy statement and the enclosed proxy card are being sent to you in connection with the solicitation of proxies by our Board for use at the Special Meeting to be held by virtual attendance on December 6, 2022, or at any adjournments or postponements thereof. This proxy statement summarizes the information that you need to make an informed decision on the Proposals to be considered at the Special Meeting.

The Company is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on December 22, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a Business Combination with one or more businesses. On March 5, 2021, the Company consummated its IPO of 34,500,000 units, which included the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 4,500,000 units. Each unit consists of one Public Share, and one-third of one Public Warrant, with each whole Public Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock for $11.50 per whole share. The units were sold at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $345,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the private sale of an aggregate of 5,933,333 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to the Sponsor at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $8,900,000. A total of $345,000,000, comprised of $338,100,000 of the proceeds from the IPO, net of underwriter’s cash discount, and $6,900,000 of the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in the Trust Account, which is maintained by Continental, acting as trustee. At present, our Charter provides for the return of the IPO proceeds held in the Trust Account to the holders of Public Shares if we do not complete our initial Business Combination by the Original Termination Date.

The purpose of the Amendment Proposals is to require the Company to wind up and redeem all of its outstanding Public Shares at such date as may be determined by the Board, but in no event later than December 30, 2022 by ceasing all operations except for the purpose of winding up and redeeming all of our outstanding Public Shares promptly thereafter subject to and in accordance with the Charter and Trust Agreement, as so amended, which the Board believes is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders.

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT. It is important that your shares be represented at the Special Meeting, regardless of the number of shares that you hold. You are, therefore, urged to execute and return, at your earliest convenience, the enclosed proxy card in the envelope that has also been provided.

What is being voted on?

You are being asked to vote on the following proposals:

1.      Proposal No. 1 — The Charter Amendment Proposal — to approve the adoption of the Charter Amendment to change the Original Termination Date by which the Company must either (i) consummate its initial Business Combination or (ii) cease all operations, except for the purpose of winding up, and, subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Charter, redeem all of its Public Shares. The proposed Charter Amendment would change the Original Termination Date to the Amended Termination Date.

2.      Proposal No. 2 — The Trust Amendment Proposal — to approve the adoption of an amendment to the Trust Agreement to change the date on which Continental must commence liquidation of the Trust Account to the Amended Termination Date.

3.      Proposal No. 3 — The Adjournment Proposal — to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting from time to time, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies in favor of the Charter Amendment Proposal and/or the Trust Amendment Proposal or if otherwise determined by the chairperson of the Special Meeting to be necessary or appropriate.

You are not being asked to vote on an initial Business Combination at this time. We have determined that it would not be feasible for the Company to complete an initial Business Combination by the Original Termination Date. If the Amendment Proposals are approved and the Charter and the Trust Amendment are amended, we plan to cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and redeeming all of our outstanding Public Shares promptly thereafter subject to and in accordance with the Charter and the Trust Agreement, as so amended, which the Board believes is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders.

Why should I vote to approve the Amendments?

Our Board believes stockholders will benefit from the Company having the ability to wind up and redeem all of its outstanding Public Shares by no later than December 30, 2022 by ceasing all operations except for the purpose of winding up and redeeming all of our outstanding Public Shares promptly thereafter.

Since our IPO in March 2021, we have evaluated more than 300 potential target businesses and executed 47 customary confidentiality agreements in connection with our search for suitable targets at fair valuations. Our team, alongside our advisor, Moelis & Company, has employed a broad set of search criteria for potential target businesses.

As of the date of this proxy statement, we have not entered into an agreement to effectuate a Business Combination with any of the potential targets that we have reviewed. In particular, through our efforts to find a suitable target for a Business Combination, our management has observed significant impediments to identifying and negotiating an appropriate Business Combination and providing a compelling return on investment for our stockholders.

Additionally, our management team has not effectuated a Business Combination due to a variety of reasons, including, among other things:

(i)     our preliminary assessment of the target company’s leadership team, corporate values;

(ii)    our preliminary assessment of the relevant target company’s business model, product or service differentiation, customer concentration, competitive landscape, and risks to future financial performance;

(iii)   the parties’ inability to reach an agreement on valuation;

(iv)   our preliminary assessment of the relevant target company’s ability to execute its business and financial plans and scale its business;

(v)    challenging market conditions and PIPE availability;

(vi)   changes in the regulatory landscape; and

(vii)  alternative options available to potential targets, such as pursuing a traditional initial public offering, raising private capital, or waiting for the capital markets to improve before pursuing a listing.

In light of these circumstances and timeline, our management team does not believe we will consummate a Business Combination with a suitable target that meets our criteria for a Business Combination at an acceptable valuation by or before the Original Termination Date.

Moreover, recent legislative developments may negatively impact Public Stockholders if we are unable to consummate a Business Combination by or before the Original Termination Date. On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax (the “Excise Tax”) on certain repurchases (including redemptions) of stock by publicly traded domestic (i.e., U.S.) corporations and certain domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations. The IR Act applies only to repurchases that occur after December 31, 2022. Because we are a publicly listed Delaware corporation, we are a “covered corporation” within the meaning of the IR Act; consequently, the Board believes that, absent additional guidance and unless an applicable exception is available, there is a significant risk that this Excise Tax will apply to any redemptions of Common Stock after December 31, 2022, including redemptions made if we are unable to consummate a Business Combination by or before the Original Termination Date. The application of the Excise Tax to any redemptions we make after December 31, 2022, could potentially reduce the per-share amount that Public Stockholders would otherwise be entitled to receive and could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and limit our ability to complete a Business Combination.

After careful consideration of all relevant factors, including but not limited to, the determination that it is not feasible for us to complete a Business Combination by the Original Termination Date, the Board has determined to seek the approval of our stockholders to wind up and redeem all of our outstanding Public Shares by no later than December 30, 2022. The Board believes it is in its best interests of the Company and our stockholders to return capital to our stockholders by December 30, 2022.

If (x) the Amendment Proposals are approved, the Charter and the Trust Agreement are amended and we do not consummate an initial Business Combination by the Amended Termination Date or (y) the Amendment Proposals are not approved and we do not consummate an initial Business Combination by the Original Termination Date, our Charter provides that we 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, subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of our Public Shares in consideration of a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate per-share amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), by (B) the total number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the Public Stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Board in accordance with applicable law, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law. In connection with such liquidation, dissolution and redemption of our securities, the Company’s securities will cease to be listed on NYSE and the Company’s SEC reporting obligations will be suspended. Any such redemption after December 31, 2022 may be subject to the Excise Tax that could reduce the per-share amount that the Public Stockholders would be entitled to receive in connection with any redemption or liquidation.

There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination by the Original Termination Date or, if the Amendment Proposals are approved and the Charter and the Trust Agreement are amended, the Amended Termination Date.

The purpose of the Amendment Proposals is to require the Company to wind up and redeem all of its outstanding Public Shares at such date as may be determined by the Board, but in no event later than December 30, 2022 by ceasing all operations except for the purpose of winding up and redeeming all of our outstanding Public Shares promptly thereafter subject to and in accordance with the Charter, as so amended, which the Board believes is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders.

In connection with approval of the Charter Amendment, Public Stockholders may elect to redeem their shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate per-share amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-issued and outstanding Public Shares, regardless of how such Public Stockholders vote on the Proposals or if they vote at all. However, Public Stockholders will not have their shares redeemed in connection with the Charter Amendment unless the Charter Amendment Proposal is approved and the Charter is amended.

Liquidation of the Trust Account is a fundamental obligation of the Company to the Public Stockholders and the Company is not proposing, and will not propose, to change that obligation to the Public Stockholders. Any Public Stockholders that do not elect to redeem their Public Shares in the Optional Redemption shall retain redemption rights in the event the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination by the Amended Termination Date. We have determined that it would not be feasible for the Company to complete an initial Business Combination by the Original Termination Date. If the Amendments Proposals are approved and the Charter and the Trust Agreement are amended, we plan to cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and redeeming all of our outstanding Public Shares promptly thereafter subject to and in accordance with the Charter, as so amended, which the Board believes is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders.

If the Charter Amendment Proposal is approved and the Charter is amended, Public Stockholders who elect to redeem their Public Shares in the Optional Redemption in connection with the effectiveness of the Charter Amendment will receive a per-share redemption price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate per-share amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-issued and outstanding Public Shares. In connection with the dissolution and winding up of the Company, the remaining Public Stockholders will also receive a per-share redemption price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate per-share amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-issued and outstanding Public Shares.

Our Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the Amendment Proposals, but expresses no opinion as to whether you should redeem your Public Shares.

When would the Board abandon the Amendment Proposals and/or Amendments?

If, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Special Meeting, there are insufficient votes from the holders of Common Stock to approve the Charter Amendment Proposal and/or the Trust Amendment Proposal, the Company may move to adjourn the Special Meeting to such later date or dates to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies. If the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved at the Special Meeting, the Adjournment Proposal will not be presented.

Additionally, notwithstanding the approval of the Amendment Proposals by our stockholders, the Company may decide to abandon the Amendments at any time and for any reason prior to the effectiveness of the filing of the Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. If we abandon the Amendments, Public Stockholders will not have their Public Shares redeemed in the Optional Redemption.

How do the Company insiders intend to vote their shares?

On the Record Date, the Sponsor and the Company’s officers, directors and advisors were entitled to vote all of the shares of Class B Common Stock, collectively representing approximately 20.0% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Sponsor and the Company’s officers, directors and advisors intend to vote all of their shares of Common Stock in favor of each of the Proposals at the Special Meeting.

In addition, subject to applicable securities laws (including with respect to material nonpublic information), the Sponsor, the Company’s directors or officers or any of their respective affiliates may (i) purchase Public Shares from institutional and other investors (including those who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the Proposals presented at the Special Meeting, or elect to redeem, or indicate an intention to redeem, Public Shares), (ii) enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to not redeem their Public Shares, or (iii) execute agreements to purchase such Public Shares from such investors or enter into non-redemption agreements in the future. In the event that the Sponsor, the Company’s directors or officers or any of their respective affiliates purchase Public Shares in situations in which the tender offer rules and restrictions on purchases would apply, they (a) would purchase the Public Shares at a price no higher than the price offered through the Company’s redemption process; (b) would represent in writing that such Public Shares will not be voted in favor of approving the Charter Amendment Proposal; and (c) would waive in writing any redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares so purchased.

Subject to the immediately preceding paragraph, the Sponsor, the Company’s directors or officers or any of their respective affiliates may purchase Public Shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market prior to the Special Meeting, although they are under no obligation to do so. Any such purchases that are completed after the Record Date may include an agreement with a selling stockholder that such stockholder, for so long as it remains the record holder of the shares in question, will vote in favor of the Proposals and/or will not exercise its redemption rights with respect to the shares so purchased. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood that the Proposals to be voted upon at the Special Meeting are approved by the requisite number of votes. In the event that such purchases do occur, the purchasers may seek to purchase shares from stockholders that would otherwise have voted against the Proposals and elected to redeem their shares for a portion of the Trust Account. Any such privately negotiated purchases may be effected at purchase prices that are below or in excess of the per-share pro rata portion of the Trust Account. None of the funds held in the Trust Account will be used to purchase Public Shares or warrants in such transactions. Any Public Shares held by or subsequently purchased by our affiliates may be voted in favor of the Proposals. Additionally, at any time at or prior to the Special Meeting, subject to applicable securities laws (including with respect to material non-public information) the Sponsor or the Company’s directors or officers or any of their respective affiliates may, although they are under no obligation to do so, enter into transactions with investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire Public Shares, vote their Public Shares in favor of the Proposals or not redeem their Public Shares. The Sponsor and the Company’s directors or officers or any of their respective affiliates are restricted from making any such purchases when they are in possession of any material nonpublic information not disclosed to the seller, during a restricted period under Regulation M under the Exchange Act or during any applicable blackout period under the Company’s insider trading policy.

What vote is required to approve the Amendment Proposals?

Approval of the Amendment Proposals each require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the total voting power of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class.

What vote is required to approve the Adjournment Proposal?

Approval of the Adjournment Proposal, if presented, requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast by stockholders present in person (including virtually) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class.

What if I want to vote against or do not want to vote for any of the Proposals?

If you do not want any of the Proposals, you must abstain, not vote or vote against each proposal. A stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote by virtual attendance at the Special Meeting will not be counted towards the number of shares required to validly establish a quorum, and if a valid quorum is otherwise established, such failure to vote will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” the Amendment Proposals but will have no effect on the Adjournment Proposal, if presented. Abstentions will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” each of the Amendment Proposals, but will not count as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the Adjournment Proposal, if presented. We believe that each of the Proposals is a “non-discretionary” matter, and therefore, there will not be any broker non-votes at the Special Meeting.

Will you seek any further amendments to liquidate the Trust Account?

Other than the Amendments, until the Amended Termination Date, as described in this proxy statement, we do not anticipate seeking any further amendment to the time period in which we must consummate an initial Business Combination or liquidate the Trust Account.

If the Amendment Proposals are approved, what happens next?

Our Board believes stockholders will benefit from the Company having the ability to wind up and redeem all of its outstanding Public Shares by no later than December 30, 2022 by ceasing all operations except for the purpose of winding up and redeeming all of our outstanding Public Shares promptly thereafter.

Upon approval of the Amendment Proposals by the required number of votes, we plan to promptly file the Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as set forth in the form attached as Annex A hereto. However, we may decide to abandon the Amendments at any time and for any reason prior to the effectiveness of the filing of the Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. If we abandon the Amendments, Public Stockholders will not have their Public Shares redeemed in the Optional Redemption.

If we file the Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, our Board will determine, and we will publicly announce, the Amended Termination Date. Continental shall then commence liquidation of the Trust Account only after and promptly after (x) its receipt of the applicable instruction letter, as set forth in the form attached as Annex B hereto, delivered by us or (y) upon the Amended Termination Date, if the aforementioned termination letter has not been received by Continental prior to such date.

If the Charter Amendment Proposal is approved and the Charter is amended, any removal of any Withdrawal Amount from the Trust Account will reduce the amount remaining in the Trust Account and increase the percentage interest of shares of Common Stock held by the Sponsor through its shares of Class B Common Stock.

We have determined that it would not be feasible for the Company to complete an initial Business Combination by the Original Termination Date. If the Amendment Proposals are approved and the Charter and the Trust Agreement are amended as proposed, we will, on the Amended Termination Date, or if the Amendment Proposals are not approved, we will, on the Original Termination Date, (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, subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of our Public Shares in consideration of a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate per-share amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), by (B) the total number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the Public Stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Board in accordance with applicable law, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law. In connection with such liquidation, dissolution and redemption of our securities, the Company’s securities will cease to be listed on NYSE and the Company’s SEC reporting obligations will be suspended. Any such redemption after December 31, 2022 may be subject to the Excise Tax that could reduce the per-share amount that the Public Stockholders would be entitled to receive in connection with any redemption or liquidation.

There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which, if the Amendment Proposals are approved and the Charter and the Trust Agreement are amended, will expire worthless if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination by the Amended Termination Date.

What happens if the Amendment Proposals are not approved?

If the Amendment Proposals are not approved and we do not consummate an initial Business Combination by the Original Termination Date, our Charter provides that we 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, subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of our Public Shares in consideration of a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate per-share amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), by (B) the total number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the Public Stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Board in accordance with applicable law, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law. In connection with such liquidation, dissolution and redemption of our securities, the Company’s securities will cease to be listed on NYSE and the Company’s SEC reporting obligations will be suspended. Such redemption may be subject to the Excise Tax that could reduce the per-share amount that the Public Stockholders would be entitled to receive in connection with any redemption or liquidation after December 31, 2022.

There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination by the Original Termination Date or, if the Amendment Proposals are approved and the Charter and the Trust Agreement is amended, the Amended Termination Date.

The Sponsor or the Company’s directors and officers have agreed to waive their respective rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account in respect of any shares of Class B Common Stock held by it or them, as applicable, if the Company fails to complete an initial Business Combination by the Original Termination Date, or, if the Amendment Proposals are approved and the Charter and the Trust Agreement are amended, the Amended Termination Date, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination by the applicable deadline. The Company will pay the costs of liquidation from $100,000 of interest from the Trust Account and its remaining assets outside of the Trust Account.

In connection with approval of the Charter Amendment, Public Stockholders may elect to redeem their shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate per-share amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-issued and outstanding shares of Public Shares, regardless of how such Public Stockholders vote on the Proposals or if they vote at all. However, Public Stockholders will not have their shares redeemed in connection with the Charter Amendment unless the Charter Amendment Proposal is approved and the Charter is amended.

Where will I be able to find the voting results of the Special Meeting?

We will announce preliminary voting results at the Special Meeting. We will also disclose voting results on a Current Report on Form 8-K that we will file with the SEC within four business days after the date that the Special Meeting ends. If final voting results are not available to us in time to file a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days after the date that the Special Meeting ends, we will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to publish preliminary results and will provide the final results in an amendment to such Current Report on Form 8-K as soon as they become available.

How do I change my vote?

If you submitted a proxy prior to the start of the Special Meeting, you may change your vote by attending the Special Meeting online and voting via the Internet at the Special Meeting or by delivering a signed proxy revocation or a new signed proxy with a later date to Proxy Services c/o Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 1 State Street, 30th Floor, New York, NY 10004. Any signed proxy revocation or later-dated proxy must be received before the start of the Special Meeting. In addition, you may change your vote through the Internet or by telephone (if you originally voted by the corresponding method) not later than 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on December 5, 2022 for shares held directly.

Your attendance at the Special Meeting will not, by itself, revoke a prior vote or proxy from you.

If your shares are held in an account by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should contact your nominee to change your vote or revoke your proxy.

How are votes counted?

Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the Special Meeting, who will separately count “FOR” and “AGAINST” votes and abstentions for each of the Proposals. A stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote by virtual attendance at the Special Meeting will not be counted towards the number of shares required to validly establish a quorum, and if a valid quorum is otherwise established, such failure to vote will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” the Amendment Proposals but will have no effect on the Adjournment Proposal, if presented. Abstentions will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” each of the Amendment Proposals, but will not count as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the Adjournment Proposal, if presented. We believe that each of the Proposals is a “non-discretionary” matter, and therefore, there will not be any broker non-votes at the Special Meeting.

If my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker automatically vote them for me?

We believe that each of the Proposals is a “non-discretionary” matter, and therefore, there will not be any broker non-votes at the Special Meeting. Your broker can vote your shares with respect to “non-discretionary” items only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should instruct your broker to vote your shares. Your broker can tell you how to provide these instructions. Abstentions will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established.

What is a quorum?

A quorum is the minimum number of shares required to be present at the Special Meeting for the Special Meeting to be properly held under our Charter and the DGCL, a majority in total voting power of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote as of the Record Date at the Special Meeting must be represented by virtual attendance or by proxy at the Special Meeting to constitute a quorum. Proxies that are marked “ABSTAIN” will be treated as shares present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum on all matters.

Who can vote at the Special Meeting?

Only stockholders of record of the Company as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 26, 2022, the Record Date, are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Special Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. On the Record Date, there were 43,125,000 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, consisting of (i) 34,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and (ii) 8,625,000 shares of Class B Common Stock. The Company’s warrants do not have voting rights in connection with the Proposals.

In deciding all matters at the Special Meeting, each stockholder will be entitled to one vote for each share held by them on the Record Date. Holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and holders of shares of Class B Common Stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders except as required by law. Our Sponsor, officers, directors and advisors collectively hold all of our issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, which constitute approximately 20.0% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Registered Stockholders.    If our shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Continental, you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to the individuals listed on the proxy card or to vote via the Internet at the Special Meeting or prior to the Special Meeting by telephone or through the Internet.

On the Record Date, there was one holder of record of our units, one holder of record of shares of our Class A Common Stock, one holder of record of shares of our Class B Common Stock and two holders of record of our warrants. The foregoing numbers of record holders do not include the number of stockholders whose shares are held nominally by banks, brokerage houses or other institutions, but include each such institution as one stockholder.

“Street Name” Stockholders.    If our shares are held on your behalf in a brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of those shares held in “street name,” and your broker or nominee is considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or nominee as to how to vote your shares.

Does the Board recommend voting for the approval of the Proposals?

Yes. After careful consideration of the terms and conditions of these Proposals, the Board has determined that each of the Proposals are in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders. The Board recommends that the Company’s stockholders vote “FOR” each of the Proposals.

What interests do the Company’s Sponsor, directors and officers have in the approval of the Proposals?

The Company’s Sponsor, directors and officers have interests in the Proposals that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder. In the case of the Sponsor, these interests include ownership of shares of Class B Common Stock, ownership of the Private Placement Warrants and advances by the Sponsor to the Company that will not be repaid in the event of the Company’s winding up. In the case of our directors and officers, these interests include arrangements related to compensation, indemnification and expense reimbursement. See the sections

entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Charter Amendment Proposal — Interests of the Sponsor and the Company’s Directors and Officers” and “Proposal No. 2 — The Trust Amendment Proposal — Interests of the Sponsor and the Company’s Directors and Officers” for more information.

Are there any appraisal or similar rights for dissenting stockholders?

The DGCL does not provide for appraisal or other similar rights for dissenting stockholders in connection with any of the Proposals. Accordingly, our stockholders will have no right to dissent and obtain payment for their shares. Warrant holders do not have appraisal rights in connection with any of the Proposals.

What happens to the Company’s warrants?

If (x) the Amendment Proposals are approved, the Charter and the Trust Agreement are amended and we do not consummate an initial Business Combination by the Amended Termination Date or (y) the Amendment Proposals are not approved and we do not consummate an initial Business Combination by the Original Termination Date, there will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless.

On October 26, 2022, following the Company’s announcement of the Special Meeting and the Amendment Proposals, NYSE notified the Company, and publicly announced, that NYSE determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s warrants from NYSE and that trading in the Company’s warrants would be suspended immediately, due to trading price levels pursuant to Section 802.01D of NYSE Listed Company Manual. As a result of the expected expiration of the warrants described above, the Company does not intend to appeal NYSE’s determination.

How do I vote?

If you are a holder of record of shares of Common Stock on the Record Date for the Special Meeting, you may vote (i) prior to the Special Meeting by telephone or through the Internet, (ii) by virtual attendance at the Special Meeting or (iii) by submitting a proxy for the Special Meeting. You may submit your proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage-paid envelope. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the broker, bank or other nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the Special Meeting and vote by virtual attendance, obtain a valid proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee. Your broker, bank or other nominee may have an earlier deadline by which you must provide instructions to it as to how to vote your shares, so you should read carefully the materials provided to you by your broker, bank or other nominee or intermediary.

How do I redeem my shares of Common Stock?

Pursuant to the Charter and in accordance with the specific procedures for redemptions set forth in this proxy statement, a Public Stockholder may request that the Company redeem all or a portion of such Public Stockholder’s Public Shares for cash if the Charter Amendment Proposal is approved and the Charter is amended. You will be entitled to receive the below described cash amount for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if you:

(i)     (a) hold Public Shares or (b) hold Public Shares as part of units and elect to separate such units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares; and

(ii)    prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 2, 2022, (a) submit a written request to Continental, the Company’s transfer agent, that the Company redeem your Public Shares for cash and (b) tender or deliver your shares and other redemption forms to Continental, physically or electronically through DTC. Continental must receive such written request, shares and related materials prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 2, 2022 for your redemption election to be considered timely.

Holders of units of the Company must elect to separate the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares. If holders hold their units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the units into the underlying Public

Shares and Public Warrants, or if a holder holds units registered in its, his or her own name, the holder must contact Continental directly and instruct it to do so. Your broker, bank or other nominee may have an earlier deadline by which you must provide instructions to separate the units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants in order to exercise redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares, so you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee or intermediary. A Public Stockholder that holds its Public Shares in an account at a brokerage firm or bank must identify itself in writing as a beneficial holder and provide its legal name, phone number, and address to Continental in order to validly redeem its Public Shares. Public Stockholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares even if they vote against the Proposals (including if they do not vote at all). However, Public Stockholders will not have their shares redeemed in connection with the Charter Amendment unless the Charter Amendment Proposal is approved and the Charter is amended. In the event that a Public Stockholder tenders its Public Shares and decides prior to the vote at the Special Meeting that it does not want to redeem its shares, the stockholder may withdraw the tender.

If properly demanded, the Company will redeem each Public Share at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate per-share amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then-issued and outstanding shares of Public Shares. On November 9, 2022, the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account was approximately $347,751,866, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes or dissolution expenses (up to $100,000). On November 9, 2022, the closing price of a share of Class A Common Stock was $10.01. The Company cannot assure stockholders that they will be able to sell their shares of Class A Common Stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when such stockholders wish to sell their shares.

If the Charter Amendment Proposal is approved and the Charter is amended, Public Stockholders who elect to redeem their Public Shares in the Optional Redemption in connection with the effectiveness of the Charter Amendment will receive a per-share redemption price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate per-share amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-issued and outstanding Public Shares. In connection with the dissolution and winding up of the Company, the remaining Public Stockholders will also receive a per-share redemption price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate per-share amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-issued and outstanding Public Shares. Shares that a Public Stockholder elects to redeem but which are not redeemed shall be returned to such Public Stockholder or such Public Stockholder’s account.

How do I withdraw my redemption request?

If you deliver your Public Shares for redemption to Continental, our transfer agent, in compliance with the redemption procedures described in the section entitled “Questions and Answers About the Proxy Materials and Our Special Meeting — How do I redeem my shares of Common Stock?” and elsewhere herein, and decide prior to the vote at the Special Meeting not to redeem your shares, you may withdraw your tender of Public Shares and request that Continental return your tendered Public Shares (physically or electronically, as applicable). To make such a request, you should contact your bank or broker or Continental using the contact information in the section entitled “Questions and Answers About the Proxy Materials and Our Special Meeting — Who can help answer my questions?”

What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards, if your shares are registered in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast a vote with respect to all of your shares.

RISK FACTORS

You should consider carefully all of the risks described in our (i) IPO Registration Statement, (ii) 2021 Annual Report, (iii) 2022 Q2 Quarterly Report, and (iv) other reports we file with the SEC, before making a decision to invest in our securities. Furthermore, if any of the risks and uncertainties described in the aforementioned filings occur, our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially adversely affected or we could face liquidation. In that event, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties described in the aforementioned filings are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important factors that adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results or result in our liquidation.

THE SPECIAL MEETING

Date, Time, Place and Purpose of the Special Meeting

The Special Meeting will be held via the Internet and will be a completely virtual meeting of stockholders. You will be able to attend the Special Meeting online, vote, view the list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Special Meeting and submit your questions during the Special Meeting by visiting https://www.cstproxy.com/missionadvancementcorp/2022. To enter the Special Meeting, you will need the 12-digit control number that is printed on your proxy card. We recommend logging in at least fifteen minutes before the Special Meeting to ensure that you are logged in when the Special Meeting starts. Online check-in will start shortly before the Special Meeting on December 6, 2022.

At the Special Meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote upon proposals to:

1.      Proposal No. 1 — The Charter Amendment Proposal — approve the adoption of the Charter Amendment to change the Original Termination Date by which the Company must either (i) consummate its initial Business Combination or (ii) cease all operations, except for the purpose of winding up, and, subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Charter, redeem all of its Public Shares. The proposed Charter Amendment would change the Original Termination Date to the Amended Termination Date.

2.      Proposal No. 2 — The Trust Amendment Proposal — approve the adoption of an amendment to the Trust Agreement to change the date on which Continental must commence liquidation of the Trust Account to the Amended Termination Date.

3.      Proposal No. 3 — The Adjournment Proposal — approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting from time to time, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies in favor of the Charter Amendment Proposal and/or the Trust Amendment Proposal or if otherwise determined by the chairperson of the Special Meeting to be necessary or appropriate.

The Company will transact no other business at the Special Meeting, except such business as may properly come before the Special Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof.

Voting Power; Record Date

Only stockholders of record of the Company as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 26, 2022, the Record Date, are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Special Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Each of the shares of Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. On the Record Date, there were 43,125,000 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, consisting of (i) 34,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and (ii) 8,625,000 shares of Class B Common Stock. The Company’s warrants do not have voting rights in connection with the Proposals.

Quorum and Vote of Stockholders

A quorum is the minimum number of shares required to be present at the Special Meeting for the Special Meeting to be properly held under our Charter and the DGCL. A majority in total voting power of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote as of the Record Date at the Special Meeting must be represented by virtual attendance or by proxy at the Special Meeting to constitute a quorum. Proxies that are marked “ABSTAIN” will be treated as shares present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum on all matters. If a stockholder does not give the broker voting instructions, under applicable self-regulatory organization rules, its broker may not vote its shares on “non-discretionary” matters. We believe that each of the Proposals is a “non-discretionary” matter, and therefore, there will not be any broker non-votes at the Special Meeting.

As of the Record Date, the Sponsor, and the Company’s officers, directors and advisors collectively have the right to vote approximately 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Sponsor and the Company’s officers, directors and advisors intend to vote all of their shares of Common Stock in favor of each of the Proposals at the Special Meeting.

Votes Required

Approval of the Amendment Proposals requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the total voting power of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class.

Approval of the Adjournment Proposal, if presented, requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast by stockholders present in person (including virtually) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class. The Adjournment Proposal will only be put forth for a vote if either there are not sufficient votes to approve the Charter Amendment Proposal and/or the Trust Amendment Proposal at the Special Meeting or if otherwise determined by the chairperson of the Special Meeting to be necessary or appropriate.

If you do not want any of the Proposals to be approved, you must abstain, not vote or vote against such proposal. A stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote by virtual attendance at the Special Meeting will not be counted towards the number of shares required to validly establish a quorum, and if a valid quorum is otherwise established, such failure to vote will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” the Amendment Proposals but will have no effect on the Adjournment Proposal, if presented. Abstentions will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” each of the Amendment Proposals, but will not count as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the Adjournment Proposal, if presented. We believe that each of the Proposals is a “non-discretionary” matter, and therefore, there will not be any broker non-votes at the Special Meeting.

Voting

You can vote your shares at the Special Meeting by proxy or online by virtually attending the Special Meeting. If your shares are owned directly in your name with our transfer agent, Continental, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the “stockholder of record.” If our shares are held on your behalf in a brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of those shares held in “street name,” and your broker or nominee is considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares.

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT. It is important that your shares be represented at the Special Meeting, regardless of the number of shares that you hold. You are, therefore, urged to execute and return, at your earliest convenience, the enclosed proxy card in the envelope that has also been provided.

Stockholders of Record

You can vote by proxy by having one or more individuals who will be at the Special Meeting vote your shares for you. These individuals are called “proxies” and using them to cast your ballot at the Special Meeting is called voting “by proxy.” If you wish to vote by proxy, you must (i) complete the enclosed form, called a “proxy card,” and mail it in the envelope provided or (ii) submit your proxy over the Internet or by telephone in accordance with the instructions on the enclosed proxy card. If you complete the proxy card and mail it in the envelope provided or submit your proxy over the Internet or by telephone as described above, you will designate each of the persons designated as proxies to act as your proxy at the Special Meeting. One of the aforementioned individuals will then vote your shares at the Special Meeting in accordance with the instructions you have given them in the proxy card with respect to the Proposals presented in this proxy statement. Proxies will extend to, and be voted at, any adjournments or postponements of the Special Meeting.

Alternatively, you can vote your shares online by virtually attending the Special Meeting.

On the Record Date, there was one holder of record of our units, one holder of record of shares of our Class A Common Stock, one holder of record of shares of our Class B Common Stock and two holders of record of our warrants. The foregoing numbers of record holders do not include the number of stockholders whose shares are held nominally by banks, brokerage houses or other institutions, but include each such institution as one stockholder.

Beneficial Owners

If your shares are held in an account through a broker, bank or other nominee or intermediary, you must instruct the broker, bank or other nominee how to vote your shares by following the instructions that the broker, bank or other nominee provides you along with this proxy statement. Your broker, bank or other nominee may have an earlier deadline by which you must provide instructions to it as to how to vote your shares, so you should read carefully the materials provided to you by your broker, bank or other nominee or intermediary.

If you do not provide voting instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee or intermediary and you do not vote your shares at the Special Meeting, your shares will not be voted on any proposal on which your bank, broker or other nominee does not have discretionary authority to vote. In these cases, the bank, broker or other nominee or intermediary will not be able to vote your shares on those matters for which specific authorization is required. We believe each of the Proposals constitutes a “non-discretionary” matter.

Proxies

Our Board is asking for your proxy. Giving your proxy means you authorize the persons designated on your proxy card to vote your shares at the Special Meeting in the manner you direct. You may vote for or against each proposal or you may abstain from voting. All valid proxies received prior to the Special Meeting will be voted. All shares represented by a proxy will be voted, and where a stockholder specifies by means of the proxy a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the shares will be voted in accordance with the specification so made. If no choice is indicated on the proxy, the shares will be voted “FOR” each of the Proposals and as the proxy holders may determine in their discretion with respect to any other matters that may properly come before the Special Meeting.

Proxies that are marked “ABSTAIN” will be treated as shares present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum on all matters. If a stockholder does not give the broker voting instructions, under applicable self-regulatory organization rules, its broker may not vote its shares on “non-discretionary” matters. We believe each of the Proposals constitutes a “non-discretionary” matter, and therefore, there will not be any broker non-votes at the Special Meeting.

Stockholders that have questions or need assistance in completing or submitting their proxy cards should contact the Solicitation Agent, by calling (206) 870-8565 or (877) 870-8565 (toll free), or by emailing ksmith@advantageproxy.com.

Revocability of Proxies

If you submitted a proxy prior to the start of the Special Meeting, you may change your vote by attending the Special Meeting online and voting via the Internet at the Special Meeting or by delivering a signed proxy revocation or a new signed proxy with a later date to Proxy Services c/o Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 1 State Street, 30th Floor, New York, NY 10004. Any signed proxy revocation or later-dated proxy must be received before the start of the Special Meeting. In addition, you may change your vote through the Internet or by telephone (if you originally voted by the corresponding method) not later than 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on December 5, 2022 for shares held directly.

Your attendance at the Special Meeting will not, by itself, revoke a prior vote or proxy from you.

If your shares are held in an account by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should contact your nominee to change your vote or revoke your proxy.

Attendance at the Special Meeting

The Special Meeting will be held via the Internet and will be a completely virtual meeting of stockholders. You will be able to attend the Special Meeting online, vote, view the list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Special Meeting and submit your questions during the Special Meeting by visiting https://www.cstproxy.com/missionadvancementcorp/2022. To enter the Special Meeting, you will need the 12-digit control number that is printed on your proxy card. We recommend logging in at least fifteen minutes before the Special Meeting to ensure that you are logged in when the Special Meeting starts. Online check-in will start shortly before the Special Meeting on December 6, 2022.

If you do not have internet capabilities, you can listen to the Special Meeting by dialing: 1 800-450-7155 (toll-free) within the U.S. and Canada, or +1 857-999-9155 (standard rates apply) outside of the U.S. and Canada. When prompted, enter the pin number 5783935#. This is a listen-only option, and you will not be able to vote or enter questions during the Special Meeting.

You may submit your proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage-paid envelope. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or nominee, you should contact your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the broker, bank or nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the Special Meeting and vote by virtual attendance, obtain a valid proxy from your broker, bank or nominee.

Solicitation of Proxies

Our Board is soliciting proxies for use at the Special Meeting. All costs associated with this solicitation will be borne directly by the Company. We have engaged the Solicitation Agent to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Special Meeting. We have agreed to pay Solicitation Agent a fee of $7,500, plus expenses, and indemnify the Solicitation Agent and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses for their services as the Company’s proxy solicitor. We will also reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of shares of Class A Common Stock for their expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to beneficial owners of shares of Class A Common Stock and in obtaining voting instructions from those owners. Our directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies by telephone, by facsimile, by mail, on the Internet or in person. They will not be paid any additional amounts for soliciting proxies.

You may contact the Solicitation Agent at:

E-mail: ksmith@advantageproxy.com

If any additional solicitation of the holders of our outstanding shares of Common Stock is deemed necessary, we (through our directors and officers) anticipate making such solicitation directly.

Dissenters’ Rights and Appraisal Rights

The DGCL does not provide for appraisal or other similar rights for dissenting stockholders in connection with any of the Proposals. Accordingly, our stockholders will have no right to dissent and obtain payment for their shares. Warrant holders do not have appraisal rights in connection with any of the Proposals.

Other Business

The Company will transact no other business at the Special Meeting, except such business as may properly come before the Special Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof. The form of proxy accompanying this proxy statement confers discretionary authority upon the named proxy holders with respect to amendments or variations to the matters identified in the Notice of Special Meeting and with respect to any other matters that may properly come before the Special Meeting. If any additional matters are properly presented at the Special Meeting, or at any adjournments or postponements of the Special Meeting, the persons named in the enclosed proxy card will have discretion to vote the shares they represent in accordance with the recommendations of our Board with respect to any such matters. We expect that the shares of Class A Common Stock represented by properly submitted proxies will be voted by the proxy holders in accordance with the recommendations of our Board with respect to any such matters.

ANNEX A

FORM OF
CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT OF
AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
OF
MISSION ADVANCEMENT CORP.

MISSION ADVANCEMENT CORP., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Corporation”), hereby certifies as follows:

1.      The name of the Corporation is “Mission Advancement Corp.” The original Certificate of Incorporation was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on December 22, 2020. An Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on March 2, 2021 (the “Amended and Restated Certificate”).

2.      This Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (this “Amendment”) has been duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation and approved by the Corporation’s stockholders in accordance with the provisions of the Amended and Restated Certificate and Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

3.      This Amendment further amends the provisions of the Amended and Restated Certificate.

4.      The Amended and Restated Certificate is hereby amended by deleting Article IX, Section 9.1(b) in its entirety and inserting the following in lieu thereof:
