GEORGE
TOWN, Cayman Islands, Feb. 24,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Far Peak Acquisition Corp.
(NYSE: FPAC) (the "Company") today announced that it will redeem
all of its outstanding Class A ordinary shares (the "Class A
Shares"), as of March 13, 2023,
because the Company will not consummate an initial business
combination by March 7, 2023, the
time period required by its amended and restated memorandum and
articles of association (the "Articles").
Pursuant to the Articles, if the Company does not consummate an
initial business combination by March 7,
2023, 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 its Class A
Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the
aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including
interest earned on the funds held in the trust account but net of
taxes, if any, (less up to $100,000
of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of
the then-outstanding Class A Shares, redemption of which 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, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of
clauses (ii) and (iii) to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of
creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
Net of dissolution expenses, the per-share redemption price for
the Class A Shares is expected to be approximately $10.21 (the "Redemption Amount"). The Company
anticipates that the last day of trading in the Company's Class A
Shares will be March 7, 2023 and
that, as of the open of business on March 8,
2023, the Class A Shares will be suspended from trading, and
will represent only the right to receive the Redemption Amount.
All Class A Shares are held in "street name" and beneficial
owners thereof 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. The Company's initial
shareholders have waived their redemption rights with respect to
the outstanding Class B ordinary shares issued prior to the
Company's initial public offering.
The Company expects that The New York Stock Exchange will file a
Form 25 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to delist
its securities following the redemption.
