On November 30, 2022, WinVest Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Extension Meeting”) to approve (i) an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) to extend the date (the “Termination Date”) by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination (a “Business Combination”) from December 17, 2022 (the “Original Termination Date”) to January 17, 2023 (the “Charter Extension Date”), and to allow the Company, without another stockholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date on a monthly basis for up to five times by an additional one month each time after the Charter Extension Date, by resolution of the Company’s board of directors, if requested by WinVest SPAC LLC, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until June 17, 2023, or a total of up to six months after the Original Termination Date, unless the closing of the Company’s Business Combination shall have occurred prior thereto (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”), and (ii) a proposal to adjourn the Extension Meeting, if necessary, in the event there were insufficient shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”) represented to constitute a quorum at the Extension Meeting or approve the Extension Amendment Proposal (the “Adjournment Proposal”), each as more fully described in the definitive proxy statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 8, 2022.
