| Item 8.01. | Other Events. |
On February 1, 2023, Aurora Technology Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), received notice from the Company’s trust agent that the Company has retained approximately $44.4 million in the Company’s trust account following the redemption deadline for the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, initially issued in the Company’s initial public offering (the “Public Shares”), and based on the balance of the trust account on January 13, 2023. On February 3, 2023, the Company plans to hold an extraordinary general meeting (the “Meeting”), seeking shareholder approval, among other things, of an extension of the time that the Company has to consummate an initial business combination (the “Extension”). The Extension was conditioned on the Company having at least 3.0 million Public Shares outstanding upon consummation of the Extension after taking into account valid redemptions. Based on the information provided by the trust agent to the Company, such condition has been met.
To date, an aggregate of 15,883,818 shares have been validly redeemed. No additional shares may be withdrawn for redemption prior to the Meeting. Therefore, at the time of the Meeting, the Company will have 9,669,182 ordinary shares outstanding, of which 4,619,182 are Public Shares (including 303,000 Public Shares not subject to redemption), and 5,050,000 are Class B ordinary shares held by ATAC Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), subject to any withdrawals of redemptions by shareholders. The Class B ordinary shares held by the Sponsor are not subject to redemption.
Shareholders may withdraw redemptions with the Company’s consent at any time until the vote is taken with respect to the Extension, unless additional time to withdraw such redemptions is permitted by the Company. Shareholders may request to withdraw their redemption by contacting the Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, at One State Street, 30th Floor, New York, New York 10004, Attn: Mark Zimkind (e-mail:mzimkind@continentalstock.com).
As previously disclosed, the Meeting will convene at 11:00 a.m., Eastern time, on Friday, February 3, 2023. The Meeting will be held virtually via live webcast at https://www.cstproxy.com/auroraspac/2023.
As previously disclosed, on December 12, 2022, the Company entered into a letter of intent with DIH Technology Ltd. (“DIH”), a leading global robotics and virtual reality (“VR”) technology provider in the rehabilitation and human performance industry, pursuant to which the Company intends to complete its initial business combination (“Business Combination”). The Extension to be voted on at the Meeting, and any redemption reversals received prior to the vote at the Meeting, would allow the Company to complete the Business Combination.
