Special meeting of stockholders of Churchill VI scheduled for May 11, 2023 to extend date by which Churchill VI must consummate an initial business combination

NEW YORK, May 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Churchill Capital Corp VI ("Churchill VI") announced today actions being undertaken in advance of a special meeting of its stockholders (the "Special Meeting") on May 11, 2023, at which Churchill VI's stockholders will be asked to vote on a proposal to amend Churchill VI's amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which Churchill VI has to consummate an initial business combination (the "Business Combination") from May 17, 2023 to February 17, 2024 or such earlier date as determined by the Churchill VI board of directors (the "Extension Amendment Proposal").  

Churchill VI Seeking Extension to Pursue a Business Combination

As previously disclosed on February 17, 2023, Churchill VI has entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the "Letter of Intent") that sets forth the preliminary terms and conditions of a potential Business Combination with a private company that meets Churchill VI's investment criteria and principles.

At the Special Meeting on May 11, 2023, Churchill VI stockholders will be asked to vote on the Extension Amendment Proposal and on a proposal to adjourn the special meeting to a later date, if necessary. The purpose of these proposals is to allow for additional time to complete a Business Combination. The Churchill VI board of directors has determined that these proposals are in the best interests of Churchill VI and its stockholders and recommends that stockholders vote "FOR" such proposals.

No assurances can be made that Churchill VI will successfully negotiate and enter into a definitive agreement for a Business Combination, or that the proposed transaction will be consummated on the terms or timeframe currently contemplated, or at all.

Churchill VI Sponsor to Make Contribution to the Trust Account

Churchill VI's sponsor, Churchill Sponsor VI LLC (the "Sponsor"), will make deposits directly to the trust account (the "Trust Account") of $500,000 per month (each, a "Contribution"), in exchange for a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note (the "Promissory Note") issued by Churchill VI to the Sponsor following the approval and implementation of the Extension Amendment Proposal on the terms described below.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, the Contributions will be paid monthly beginning on May 17, 2023 and thereafter on the seventeenth  day of each month (or if such seventeenth day is not a business day, on the business day immediately preceding such seventeenth day) until the earliest to occur of (i) the consummation of a Business Combination, (ii) February 15, 2024 and (iii) if a Business Combination is not consummated, the date Churchill VI's board of directors determines, in its sole discretion, to liquidate the Trust Account. The Promissory Note will mature on the earlier of (1) the date Churchill VI consummates a Business Combination and (2) the date that the winding up of Churchill VI is effective.

Churchill VI Trust Account Transitioned to an Interest-Bearing Account

Churchill VI has transferred all of the funds in the Trust Account from cash to an interest-bearing demand deposit account.

The interest rate on the deposit account is currently approximately 4.70%, but such deposit account carries a variable rate, and Churchill VI cannot assure investors that such rate will not decrease or increase significantly.

If stockholders have any questions or need assistance, please contact MacKenzie Partners, Churchill VI's proxy solicitor, by phone at (800) 322-2885 (toll free) or by email at [email protected].
