Breeze Holdings Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:BREZ) (the "Company"), today announced that in connection with its upcoming Special Meeting of Stockholders, the Company has already received proxies representing approximately 75.8% of the Company's total outstanding shares to approve the proposal to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a business combination until as late as June 26, 2024 (the "Proposal"). This is well in excess of the percentage of votes required to approve the Proposal. However, please note that all proxies received by the Company may be revoked at any time before they are exercised at the Special Meeting, which is scheduled to be held on September 22, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
The purpose of the Proposal is to allow the Company additional time to complete its initial business combination. As previously announced on November 1, 2022, the Company entered into a merger agreement and plan of reorganization (the "Merger Agreement") with TV Ammo, Inc., an advanced technology and composite manufacturing company based in Garland, Texas ("TV Ammo"), pursuant to which a newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company will merge with and into TV Ammo, with TV Ammo surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Upon closing of the transaction, the Company will be renamed "True Velocity, Inc." and its common stock is expected to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
In connection with the proposed transaction, the Company intends to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a registration statement on Form S-4 that will include a proxy statement of the Company and that also will constitute a prospectus of True Velocity, Inc. with respect to the shares of True Velocity, Inc. common stock to be issued in the proposed transaction (the "Proxy Statement/Prospectus"). This document is not a substitute for the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. The definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus (if and when available) will be delivered to the Company's and TV Ammo's stockholders. The Company may also file other relevant documents regarding the proposed transaction with the SEC.
The Company had previously expected the transaction to close in the fourth quarter of 2023. TV Ammo is continuing to prepare financial statements in accordance with the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, which process is ongoing and has taken more time than was previously expected. As a result, the Company now anticipates filing the Proxy Statement/Prospectus in the third quarter of 2023 and now expects the transaction to close in the first quarter of 2024, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including certain regulatory and shareholder approvals.
