Far Peak Acquisition Corp. Announces Redemption of Class A Ordinary Shares on Monday, March 13, 2023

GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands, Feb. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Far Peak Acquisition Corp. (NYSE: FPAC) (the "Company") today announced that it will redeem all of its outstanding Class A ordinary shares (the "Class A Shares"), as of March 13, 2023, because the Company will not consummate an initial business combination by March 7, 2023, the time period required by its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the "Articles").

Pursuant to the Articles, if the Company does not consummate an initial business combination by March 7, 2023, the Company will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem its Class A Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account but net of taxes, if any, (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of the then-outstanding Class A Shares, redemption of which will completely extinguish public shareholders' rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company's remaining shareholders, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

Net of dissolution expenses, the per-share redemption price for the Class A Shares is expected to be approximately $10.21 (the "Redemption Amount"). The Company anticipates that the last day of trading in the Company's Class A Shares will be March 7, 2023 and that, as of the open of business on March 8, 2023, the Class A Shares will be suspended from trading, and will represent only the right to receive the Redemption Amount.

All Class A Shares are held in "street name" and beneficial owners thereof will not need to take any action in order to receive the Redemption Amount.

There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company's warrants. The Company's initial shareholders have waived their redemption rights with respect to the outstanding Class B ordinary shares issued prior to the Company's initial public offering.

The Company expects that The New York Stock Exchange will file a Form 25 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to delist its securities following the redemption.
