99 Acquisition Group, Inc. Announces Deposit of Additional Funds into Trust Account and Anticipated Filing of Preliminary Proxy Statement to Amend Charter to Extend Period to Consummate Business Combination

/EIN News/ -- CORRECTING and REPLACING: 99 Acquisition Group, Inc. Announces Contribution to Trust Account to Extend Period to Consummate Business Combination

GAITHERSBURG, MD, July 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- This press release corrects and replaces the previously issued press release published at 12:15 p.m. ET on May 24, 2024 to (i) correct the amount that was deposited into the trust account by 99 Acquisition Group, Inc. and (ii) reflect that the extension was not valid under the Company’s charter.

The updated release reads:

99 Acquisition Group, Inc. (the “Company” or “99 Acquisition”), a special purpose acquisition company, announced that 99 Acquisition Sponsor LLC, the Company’s sponsor, deposited an aggregate of $558,000 into the Company’s trust account for the Company’s public stockholders in order to extend the period of time the Company has under the Company’s charter to consummate an initial business combination from May 22, 2024 (the “Deadline Date”) to August 22, 2024. However, the Company’s charter requires an aggregate payment of $750,000 to be deposited into the Company’s trust account in order to effectuate such three-month extension if the Company has not consummated a business combination by the Deadline Date. Since the Sponsor did not deposit the full $750,000 required for such three-month extension into the trust account by the Deadline Date, the attempted extension was defective under the charter and the Company is required under the charter to cease operations except for the purpose of winding-up.

Even though the Deadline Date has passed, the Company’s sponsor intends to promptly fund the remaining $192,000 required to be deposited into the trust account and the Company intends to seek approval for an amendment to the charter in accordance with Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the applicable provisions of the charter to set a new Deadline Date and make other changes to the charter (the “Charter Amendment”). As required by the charter, in connection with the Charter Amendment, holders of public shares may elect to redeem their public shares upon approval of such Charter Amendment for a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account as of two business days prior to such approval, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to the Company to pay taxes or to fund the Company’s working capital requirements, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares.

As required by the charter, the Company plans to file a proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission as soon as practicable following the full funding of the trust account to seek stockholder approval of the Charter Amendment and related matters. If the Charter Amendment is approved by stockholders, the Company will have the right to extend the Deadline Date for the period to be specified in the Proxy Statement upon deposit of the applicable extension payments into the Company’s trust account. Additional details regarding the Charter Amendment and the terms of the extension will be provided in the Proxy Statement and any amendments thereto, which will be available on the SEC’s website upon filing. After the Proxy Statement has been cleared by the SEC, the Company will mail a definitive Proxy Statement, when available, to its stockholders.

As previously announced, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement with Nava Health MD, Inc. (“Nava Health”), dated February 12, 2024, pursuant to which the Company will acquire 100% of the equity securities of Nava Health, with Nava Health becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Charter Amendment will allow the Company additional time to complete the proposed business combination with Nava Health.
