The Meeting was being held to consider and vote on proposals to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to (i) extend the date by which the Company would be required to consummate a business combination from March 3, 2023 to December 3, 2023 and (ii) permit the Company’s board of directors, in its sole discretion, to elect to wind up the Company’s operations on an earlier date than December 3, 2023 (including prior to March 3, 2023).

As previously disclosed, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among (i) the Company, (ii) Lexasure Financial Group Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“Lexasure”), (iii) Lexasure Financial Holdings Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“Pubco”), (iv) CEMAC Merger Sub Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco, (v) Lexasure Merger Sub Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco, (vi) CEMAC Sponsor LP, a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership, in the capacity as the representative for the shareholders of the Company and Pubco (other than the Lexasure shareholders), and (vii) Ian Lim Teck Soon, an individual, in the capacity as the representative for the Lexasure shareholders, for a proposed business combination among the parties (the “Business Combination”).

Upon the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company received an automatic three-month extension of the time to consummate an initial business combination by June 3, 2023.
