On December 8, 2022, Arbor Rapha Capital Bioholdings Corp. I, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”, “we” or “our”), held a special meeting (the “Special Meeting”) in person, at which holders of 18,939,649 ordinary shares, comprised of 14,627,149 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Class A Common Stock”), and 4,312,500 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Class B Common Stock”, collectively with the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”), were present in person or by proxy, representing approximately 87.83% of the voting power of the 21,562,500 issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, comprised of (i) 17,250,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and (ii) 4,312,500 shares of Class B Common Stock, entitled to vote at the Special Meeting at the close of business on October 28, 2022, which was the record date (the “Record Date”) for the Special Meeting. The Company’s stockholders of record as of the close of business on the Record Date are referred to herein as “Stockholders.”

Proposal 1

The Stockholders approved, by special resolution, the proposal to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation ( the “Certificate of Incorporation”) to extend the date by which the Company must either (i) consummate a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, involving the Company with one or more businesses, which we refer to as our “initial Business Combination”, or (ii) cease its operations, except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete such initial Business Combination, and redeem all of the Company’s shares of Class A Common Stock, and all of its shares of Class B Common Stock, included as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering that was consummated on November 2, 2021, from February 2, 2023 to August 2, 2023 (the “Extension Amendment”). The voting results for such proposal were as follows:

On December 9, 2022, to effectuate the Extension Amendment, the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware the Certificate of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Charter Amendment”). The foregoing description of the Charter Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Charter Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Proposal 2

The Stockholders approved, by special resolution, the proposal to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to eliminate from the Certificate of Incorporation the limitation that the Company may not redeem public shares to the extent that such redemption would result in the Company having net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of less than $5,000,001 (the “Redemption Limitation”) in order to allow the Company to redeem public shares irrespective of whether such redemption would exceed the Redemption Limitation (the “Redemption Limitation Amendment”). The voting results for such proposal were as follows:

On December 9, 2022, to effectuate the Redemption Limitation Amendment, the Board filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware the Charter Amendment. The foregoing description of the Charter Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Charter Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Proposal 3

The proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there were insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the Extension Amendment, was not presented at the Special Meeting, as the Extension Amendment received a sufficient number of votes required for approval.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

Stockholders elected to redeem an aggregate of 17,188,668 shares of Class A Common Stock, representing approximately 99.6% of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock.
