Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

On November 25, 2022, TCW Special Purpose Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) filed a definitive proxy statement relating to a special meeting of shareholders to approve (i) an amendment to the Company’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Charter Amendment Proposal”) and (ii), an amendment to the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated March 1, 2021, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trust Amendment Proposal” and together with the Charter Amendment Proposal, the “Proposals”), which would, if implemented, allow the Company to redeem all of its outstanding shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Public Shares”) in advance of the Company’s contractual expiration date of March 4, 2023 by changing the date by which the Company must cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”) from March 4, 2023 (or June 4, 2023 if the Company has executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an initial business combination by March 4, 2023) to the later of (x) December 15, 2022 or (y) the date of effectiveness of the third amended and restated charter (the “Amended Termination Date”).

 

If the Proposals are approved, and because the Company will not be able to complete an initial Business Combination by the Amended Termination Date, the Company will be obligated to redeem all Public Shares as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days after the Amended Termination Date (the “Mandatory Redemption”). The Company expects to complete the Mandatory Redemption on or around December 16, 2022, if shareholders approve the Proposals. Additionally, the last day of trading of the Public Shares will be December 15, 2022, if shareholders approve the Proposals.

 

The virtual special meeting will be held on Thursday, December 15, 2022 at 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time, and the record date for the meeting is the close of business (New York time) on November 16, 2022.
