| Item 8.01 | Other Events. |
As previously disclosed in its definitive proxy statement dated as of April 19, 2023 (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”), Chain Bridge I (the “Company”) will hold an extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders on May 5, 2023 (the “Special Meeting”) to consider and vote upon the Extension Proposal (as defined in the Definitive Proxy Statement) and, if necessary, the Adjournment Proposal (as defined in the Definitive Proxy Statement).
The Company has identified a potential business combination target company (the “Partner”) for an initial business combination (the “Potential Business Combination”). The Company believes the potential business combination with Partner represents a compelling opportunity for the Company to complete its initial business combination and has entered into a letter of intent with Partner. Such letter of intent is non-binding. The execution of a definitive business combination agreement is subject to several conditions, including the completion of due diligence and negotiation and preparation of documentation. The Company cannot assure that it will enter into a definitive business combination agreement with Partner.
The Definitive Proxy Statement incorrectly reported that the Company’s Board of Directors fixed the close of business on March 29, 2023 as the date for determining the Company’s shareholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting and any adjournment thereof. The Company’s Board has fixed the close of business on April 4, 2023 as the record date for determining the Company’s shareholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting and any adjournment thereof (the “Record Date”).
The per-share pro rata portion of the Trust Account (as defined in the Definitive Proxy Statement) on March 29, 2023, after taking into account taxes owed but not paid by such date (which is expected to be the same approximate amount two business days prior to the Special Meeting), was approximately $10.44 per Public Share (as defined in the Definitive Proxy Statement). The closing price of the Company’s Ordinary Shares (as defined in the Definitive Proxy Statement) on March 29, 2023 was $10.44.
