Among other things, the New Certificate of Incorporation increased the total number of authorized shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, from 275,000,000 shares to 1,000,000,000 shares (the “Share Increase Amendment”).
On March 10, 2023, the Company filed a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery (the “Court of Chancery”) pursuant to Section 205 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “Petition”). The Petition sought validation of the Share Increase Amendment, the New Certificate of Incorporation and the shares issued in reliance on the effectiveness of the Share Increase Amendment and the New Certificate of Incorporation to resolve any uncertainty with respect to those matters introduced by a recent decision of the Court of Chancery.
On March 29, 2023, the Court of Chancery held a hearing on the Company’s Petition and granted an order pursuant to Section 205 of the Delaware General Corporation Law validating and declaring effective the Share Increase Amendment, the New Certificate of Incorporation and the shares issued in reliance thereon, each as of the date and time of the original issuance of such shares. A copy of the Court of Chancery’s order is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
