Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
In connection with the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Extension Meeting”) of Tailwind International Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination (the “Articles Extension”) from February 23, 2023 to August 23, 2023, the Company and Tailwind International Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), entered into non-redemption agreements (the “Non-Redemption Agreements”) with several unaffiliated third parties, pursuant to which such third parties agreed not to redeem (or to validly rescind any redemption requests on) an aggregate of 1,900,000 Class A ordinary shares of the Company (“Non-Redeemed Shares”) in connection with the Articles Extension. In exchange for the foregoing commitments not to redeem such Class A ordinary shares, the Sponsor agreed to transfer an aggregate of 475,000 Class B ordinary shares of the Company held by the Sponsor to such third parties immediately following consummation of an initial business combination if they continued to hold such Non-Redeemed Shares through the Extension Meeting. The Non-Redemption Agreements increased the amount of funds that remain in the Company’s trust account following the Extension Meeting.
The foregoing summary of the Non-Redemption Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Non-Redemption Agreements filed herein as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
