SUPPLEMENT TO PROXY STATEMENT FOR
THE SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
To Be Held April 12, 2023
Explanatory Note
On March 20, 2023, Atlantic Coastal Acquisition Corp. II, which we refer to as “we,” “us,” “our,” “ACAB” or the “Company,” filed a definitive proxy statement, which we refer to as the “Proxy Statement,” for a special meeting, which we refer to as the “Special Meeting,” of stockholders of the Company to be held at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time on April 12, 2023. This supplement, which we refer to as this “Supplement,” to the Proxy Statement supplements the Proxy Statement as filed and should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement.
The purpose of this Supplement is to correct a typographical error with respect to the anticipated per-share price at which public shares may be redeemed from cash held in the SPAC trust account, which we refer to as the “Trust Account,” at the time of the Special Meeting. The anticipated per-share price at which public shares may be redeemed is $10.40.
THIS SUPPLEMENT SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PROXY STATEMENT.
EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY SUPPLEMENTED BY THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN, THIS SUPPLEMENT DOES NOT MODIFY ANY OTHER INFORMATION SET FORTH IN THE PROXY STATEMENT.
This Supplement supplements and updates the disclosures in the Proxy Statement as follows:
| • | On the third page of the section entitled “NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS To Be Held April 12, 2023,” the paragraph that begins with “Based upon the current amount” is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: |
Based upon the current amount in the Trust Account, the Company anticipates that the per-share price at which public shares will be redeemed from cash held in the Trust Account will be approximately $10.40 at the time of the Special Meeting. The closing price of the Company’s Series A common stock on March 17, 2023 was $10.36. The Company cannot assure stockholders that they will be able to sell their shares of the Company’s Series A common stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when such stockholders wish to sell their shares.

Based upon the current amount in the Trust Account, the Company anticipates that the per-share price at which public shares will be redeemed from cash held in the Trust Account will be approximately $10.40 at the time of the Special Meeting. The closing price of the Company’s Series A common stock on March 17, 2023, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement, was $10.36. The Company cannot assure stockholders that they will be able to sell their shares of the Company’s Series A common stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when such stockholders wish to sell their shares.
| • | In the section entitled “THE CHARTER AMENDMENT PROPOSAL,” in the subsection entitled “Redemption Rights,” the paragraph that begins with “If properly demanded, the Company” is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: |
If properly demanded, the Company will redeem each public share for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. Based upon the current amount in the Trust Account, the Company anticipates that the per-share price at which public shares will be redeemed from cash held in the Trust Account will be approximately $10.40 at the time of the Special Meeting. The closing price of the Company’s Series A common stock on March 17, 2023, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement, was $10.36.
Other than the changes described in this Supplement, the terms in the Proxy Statement remain as described.
