Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On August 8, 2023, byNordic Acquisition Corporation (“BYNO”) convened and then adjourned until August 10, 2023, at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, without conducting any other business, BYNO’s special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) relating to its previously announced proposed extension of its deadline to complete an initial business combination. The only proposal submitted for a vote of the stockholders at the Special Meeting was the approval of the adjournment of such meeting to a later date or dates (the “Adjournment Proposal”). The Adjournment Proposal is described in greater detail in the definitive proxy statement of BYNO, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 14, 2023, as supplemented by the additional definitive proxy materials filed on July 28, 2023 and August 4, 2023 (the “Extension Proxy Statement”).
As of the close of business on July 5, 2023, the record date for the Special Meeting, there were 18,190,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”) and 5,750,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”, and together with Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”), outstanding. Each share of Common Stock was entitled to one vote on the Adjournment Proposal. The shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock were voted as a single class. A total of 19,588,167 shares of common stock, representing approximately 81.82% of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote, were present in person or by proxy, constituting a quorum to conduct business.
BYNO’s stockholders approved the Adjournment Proposal by the votes set forth below:
| For | Against | Abstain | ||
| 17,726,856 | 1,681,631 | 179,680 |
As set forth in the Extension Proxy Statement, the deadline by which BYNO public stockholders had to complete the procedures for electing to redeem their shares of Class A Common Stock was 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on August 8, 2023 (“Redemption Deadline”). The initial number of shares of Class A Common Stock tendered for redemption prior to the Redemption Deadline was 13,663,728. The deadline for stockholders to withdraw previously submitted redemption requests is Thursday, August 10, 2023, prior to 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, subject to approval by the board of directors of BYNO.
