On November 17, 2022, Kingswood Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”), issued a press release announcing that the special meeting originally scheduled for November 15, 2022, and adjourned to November 18, 2022 (the “Special Meeting”) is being further adjourned to November 23, 2022. At the Special Meeting, Company’s stockholders will be asked for approval to further amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Extension Amendment”) to extend the period of time for completing an initial business combination until May 24, 2023. The Extension Amendment would effectively provide for additional six months to complete an initial business combination.

Also as a result of this change, the date and time by which stockholders seeking to exercise redemption rights must tender their public shares physically or electronically and submit a request in writing that the Company redeem their public shares for cash to the Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, is being extended to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on November 21, 2022.
