| Item 8.01 | Other Events. |
As previously disclosed, AltC Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“AltC”) has instructed the trustee with respect to AltC’s trust account (the “Trust Account”), to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash (which may include demand deposit accounts) until the earlier of consummation of a business combination or liquidation of AltC. The funds in the Trust Account are currently held in an interest bearing demand deposit account. The interest rate on such deposit account is currently approximately 5.20% per annum, but such deposit account carries a variable rate, and AltC cannot assure investors that such rate will not decrease or increase significantly.
Additional Information and Where to Find It
On September 14, 2023, AltC filed a definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with its solicitation of proxies for a special meeting of AltC’s shareholders (the “Special Meeting”), which further describes the proposal to amend AltC’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, in the form set forth in Annex A to the Proxy Statement, to extend the date by which AltC must consummate a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses, which we refer to as a “business combination” from October 12, 2023 to July 12, 2024.
Shareholders may obtain a copy of the Proxy Statement, as well as other documents filed by AltC with the SEC, without charge, at the SEC’s website located at www.sec.gov or by directing a written request to AltC Acquisition Corp., 640 Fifth Avenue, 12th Floor, New York, NY 10019.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “seek,” “target,” “continue,” “could,” “may,” “might,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict” or other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: AltC’s ability to complete a business combination; the anticipated benefits of a business combination; the volatility of the market price and liquidity of the shares of AltC’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001, per share and other securities of AltC; changes to interest rates of the deposit account where Trust Account funds are held; the use of funds not held in the Trust Account or available to AltC from interest income on the Trust Account balance; and the competitive environment in which AltC will operate following a business combination.
These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this Current Report, and on the current expectations of AltC’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of AltC. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about AltC that may cause AltC’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors discussed in AltC’s Quarterly Reports filed by AltC with the SEC on Form 10-Q and the Annual Reports filed by AltC with the SEC on Form 10-K, in each case, under the heading “Risk Factors,” and other documents filed, or to be filed, with the SEC by AltC. If any of these risks or uncertainties materialize or AltC’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements. An investment in AltC is not an investment in any of our founders’ or sponsors’ past investments or companies or any funds affiliated with any of the foregoing. The historical results of these investments are not indicative of future performance of AltC, which may differ materially from the performance of the founders or sponsors past investments, companies or affiliated funds.
