Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On December 5, 2022, Belong Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that the special meeting of its stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) originally scheduled for Wednesday, December 7, 2022, is being postponed to Wednesday, December 14, 2022. At the Special Meeting, stockholders will be asked to vote on the following proposals: (1) a proposal to approve an amendment (the “Extension Amendment”) to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a business combination for six months, from January 27, 2023 (the “Original Termination Date”) to July 27, 2023 (the “Extended Date”) (the “Extension Proposal”); (2) a proposal to approve an amendment to the Investment Management Trust Agreement dated July 22, 2021, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee (“Continental”), to extend the date on which Continental must liquidate the trust account established in connection with the Company’s initial public offering if the Company has not completed its initial business combination, from the Original Termination Date to the Extended Date (the “Trust Amendment Proposal” and together with the Extension Proposal, the “Proposals”); and (3) a proposal to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting to a later date, if necessary, under certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies in favor of the Extension Proposal and Trust Amendment Proposal, in the event the Company does not receive the requisite stockholder vote to approve the Proposals.

 

As a result of this change, the Special Meeting will now be held at 2:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on Wednesday, December 14, 2022, via a virtual meeting link at https://www.cstproxy.com/belongcapital/2022. Also, as a result of this change, the Company has extended the deadline for holders of the Company’s Class A common stock issued in the Company’s initial public offering to submit their shares for redemption in connection with the Proposals to Monday, December 12, 2022.

  

The Company plans to continue to solicit proxies from stockholders during the period prior to the Special Meeting. Only the holders of the Company’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock as of the close of business on November 7, 2022, the record date for the Special Meeting, are entitled to vote at the Special Meeting.

  

A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
