Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 to Athena Consumer Acquisition Corp.’s Form 8-K, originally filed on December 16, 2022, is being filed solely to correct a typographical error in the monthly contribution amount to be placed in the trust account, which will be “$0.055 per public share” rather than “$0.55 per public share” and to file a press release making the same typographical correction.

Item 8.01 Other Events

As previously disclosed, a special meeting of stockholders of Athena Consumer Acquisition Corp. (“Athena”) has been adjourned and is scheduled to reconvene at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time on December 21, 2022 (the “Extension Meeting”). The Extension Meeting is to be held for the purpose of considering and voting on, among other proposals, a proposal to amend Athena’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Extension Amendment”) to provide Athena with the right to extend the date (the “Deadline Date”) by which it must consummate an initial business combination (the “Extension”) up to six times for an additional one month each time, from January 22, 2023 to up to July 22, 2023, which is 21 months from the closing date of Athena’s initial public offering. The proposal is described in more detail in the definitive proxy statement related to the Extension Meeting filed by Athena with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 23, 2022 and amended on November 30, 2022 (the “Extension Proxy Statement”).

On December 16, 2022, Athena issued a press release announcing that, if the Extension Amendment is approved at the Extension Meeting and the Extension is implemented, the sponsor of Athena, Athena Consumer Acquisition Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), or its designees will deposit into the trust account as a loan (a “Contribution”, and the Sponsor or its designee making such Contribution, a “Contributor”), the lesser of (x) $121,000 or (y) $0.055 per public share multiplied by the number of public shares outstanding, on each of the following dates: (i) January 23, 2023; and (ii) one business day following the public announcement by Athena disclosing that Athena’s board of directors has determined to extend the Deadline Date for an additional month in accordance with the Extension (each date on which a Contribution is to be deposited into the trust account, a “Contribution Date”).

The Contributions will be evidenced by a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note and will be repayable by Athena upon consummation of an initial business combination. If Athena does not consummate an initial business combination by the Deadline Date, any such promissory notes will be repaid only from funds held outside of the trust account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven. Any Contribution is conditioned on the approval of the Extension Amendment and the implementation of the Extension. No Contribution will occur if the Extension Amendment is not approved or the Extension is not implemented. If Athena has consummated an initial business combination or announced its intention to wind up prior to any Contribution Date, any obligation to make Contributions will terminate.

Athena will further adjourn the Extension Meeting in the event that greater than 2,000,000 shares of Class A common stock of Athena are submitted for redemption and have not been reversed by the scheduled time of the adjourned Extension Meeting.

A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

Additional Information and Where to Find It

Athena has filed an Extension Proxy Statement to be used at a special meeting of its stockholders with respect to the Extension Amendment. Athena has mailed the Extension Proxy Statement to its stockholders of record as of November 17, 2022 in connection with the Extension Amendment.
