Pyrophyte Acquisition Corp. Files Definitive Proxy Statement for Shareholder Meeting Seeking Extension
Highlights:
Houston, Texas, April 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pyrophyte, a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company, today announced that it filed a definitive proxy statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to seek shareholder approval to, among other proposals, (1) extend the period of time the Company will have to consummate its initial business combination by 12 months from the current deadline of April 29, 2023 until April 29, 2024. For each month of Extension, the Sponsor, or its designees, will deposit additional funds into the Trust Account established in connection with the Company’s IPO in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) $0.04 per public share multiplied by the number of public shares then outstanding and (ii) $160,000, up to a maximum aggregate contribution of $1,920,000. Each contribution plus the amount remaining in the Trust Account is expected to be held in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. government treasury obligations and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. In order to mitigate the risk of being viewed as operating an unregistered investment company, the Company will, on or prior to the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement relating to the IPO, hold all funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing bank deposit account, which is currently expected to yield interest of approximately 4.0% per annum.
