NEW YORK, Dec. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- M3-Brigade Acquisition II Corp. (NYSE: MBAC) ("MBAC" or the "Company") announced today the postponement of its special meeting of stockholders (the "Special Meeting") originally scheduled for December 19, 2022.  The Special Meeting has been postponed until December 23, 2022 at 9:30 a.m. ET.  The Special Meeting will be held virtually, at https://www.cstproxy.com/m3brigadeii/2022.

The Special Meeting will be held to vote on the proposals described in MBAC's definitive proxy statement, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on December 7, 2022 (the "Definitive Proxy Statement"), relating to the consideration of (i) the proposal to amend MBAC's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "charter") to extend the date by which MBAC must consummate a business combination (the "Extension") from March 8, 2023 to March 8, 2024 and (ii) three related proposals to amend the charter and Investment Management Trust Agreement (the "Interest Amendments") to permit, among other things, the release of interest from MBAC's trust account to the extent such interest is accrued after the date of the Interest Amendments to pay MBAC's working capital expenses and to include certain provisions regarding the use of funds for payment of the new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases (including redemptions) of stock or shares included in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

The record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, including all adjournments thereof, remains December 5, 2022.  The MBAC Board of Directors continues to recommend that stockholders vote in favor of the Extension and the Interest Proposals.

The postponement of the Special Meeting is intended to allow MBAC's stockholders additional time to withdraw their previous elections to redeem all of their shares of MBAC Class A common stock with respect to all or a portion of such shares for which they previously elected to redeem.
