On September 22, 2023, BYTE Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders in lieu of annual general meeting (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”). At the Extraordinary General Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved amendments to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Articles Amendments”) to extend the date by which the Company must complete a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses (a “business combination”) from September 25, 2023 to December 26, 2023 and to allow the Company, without another shareholder vote, by resolution of the Company’s board of directors, to elect to further extend by three months, until March 26, 2024, unless the closing of a business combination should have occurred prior thereto.

 

The following is a tabulation of the votes with respect to the Extension Proposal, the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal, the Director Election Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, which were approved by the Company’s shareholders:
