Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On June 15, 2023, Corner Growth Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) held an Extraordinary General Meeting, which was adjourned and reconvened on June 20, 2023 (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”), and in connection therewith, on June 21, 2023, the Company filed with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands (“Registrar”) an amendment (the “Amendment”) to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Articles”) to: (i) extend the date that the Company has to consummate a business combination from June 21, 2023 to March 20, 2024 (the “Extended Date”) or such earlier date as shall be determined by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”); (ii) eliminate from the Articles the limitation that the Company shall not redeem Class A Ordinary Shares included as part of the units sold in the IPO to the extent that such redemption would cause the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001; and (iii) provide that the Class B Ordinary Shares may be converted either at the time of the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination or at any earlier date at the option of the holders of the Class B Ordinary Shares.
The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
At the Extraordinary General Meeting, holders of 10,476,175 of the Company’s ordinary shares, which represents approximately 93.6% of the ordinary shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote as of the record date of May 19, 2023, were represented in person or by proxy.
At the Extraordinary General Meeting, the shareholders approved (i) a special resolution to amend the Company’s Articles to extend the date that the Company has to consummate a business combination from June 21, 2023 to the Extended Date or such earlier date as shall be determined by the Board (the “Extension Proposal”), (ii) a special resolution to amend the Company’s Articles to eliminate from the Articles the limitation that the Company shall not redeem Class A Ordinary Shares included as part of the units sold in the IPO to the extent that such redemption would cause the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 (the “Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal”), and (iii) a special resolution to amend the Company’s Articles to provide that the Class B Ordinary Shares may be converted either at the time of the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination or at any earlier date at the option of the holders of the Class B Ordinary Shares (the “Founder Conversion Amendment Proposal”).

After the satisfaction of such redemptions, the balance in the Company’s trust account will be approximately $4,400,824.
