On February 21, 2023, Tailwind International Acquisition Corp.

The shareholders of the Company approved the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal at the Extension Meeting and on February 23, 2023, the Company filed the Articles Amendment with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies.

 

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Articles Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

 

On February 21, 2023, the Company held the Extension Meeting to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal and a proposal to allow the adjournment of the Extension Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, (1) to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Extension Meeting, there were insufficient ordinary shares of the Company represented (either in person or by proxy) to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal or (2) if the shareholders of the Company elected to redeem an amount of shares in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal such that the Company would not adhere to the continued listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Adjournment Proposal”)each as more fully described in the proxy statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 2, 2023. As there were sufficient votes to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal, the Adjournment Proposal was not presented to shareholders.

 

Holders of 34,813,694 ordinary shares of the Company held of record as of January 30, 2023, the record date for the Extension Meeting, were present in person or by proxy, representing approximately 80.73% of the voting power of the Company’s ordinary shares as of the record date for the Extension Meeting, and constituting a quorum for the transaction of business.
