On February 3, 2023, Blockchain Coinvestors Acquisition Corp. I (“BCSA”) held an extraordinary general meeting (the “Shareholder Meeting”) at which BCSA’s shareholders approved a proposal to amend BCSA’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Memorandum and Articles of Association”) to extend the date by which BCSA has to consummate a business combination from May 15, 2023 to November 15, 2023 (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”). The Extension Amendment Proposal is described in more detail in BCSA’s definitive proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on December 29, 2022 (the “Proxy Statement”). The final voting results for the Extension Amendment Proposal are indicated below.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the amendment to the Memorandum and Articles of Association, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

As a result, approximately $274.2 million will be removed from the trust account established by BCSA in connection with its initial public offering to redeem such shares and 4,915,271 Class A ordinary shares of BCSA will remain outstanding after the redemption has been effected, including 1,322,000 shares underlying the private placement units which BCSA’s Sponsor, Blockchain Coinvestors Acquisition Sponsors I LLC, purchased in a private placement concurrently with the consummation of the initial public offering. Upon payment of the redemption, approximately $37.3 million will remain in the trust account.
