| Item 5.03. | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
On May 5, 2023, Apollo Strategic Growth Capital II (the “Company”) held an extraordinary general meeting of the Company’s shareholders (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”). At the Extraordinary General Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved amendments (the “Articles Amendment”) to the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Articles”) to (i) extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination from May 12, 2023 to February 12, 2024, or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board of directors in its sole and absolute discretion (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”), and (ii) eliminate the limitation that the Company shall not redeem its Class A ordinary shares included as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering that was consummated on February 12, 2021 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”).
Under Cayman Islands law, the Articles Amendment took effect upon approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal. Accordingly, the Company now has until February 12, 2024 to consummate its initial business combination. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Articles Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
