If the Company were to become subject to the Excise Tax in the future, the per-share redemption amount payable from the Trust Account to our public shareholders is not expected to be reduced by any Excise Tax imposed on the Company Houston, Texas, April 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pyrophyte, a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company, today announced that it filed a definitive proxy statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to seek shareholder approval to, among other proposals, (1) extend the period of time the Company will have to consummate its initial business combination by 12 months from the current deadline of April 29, 2023 until April 29, 2024. For each month of Extension, the Sponsor, or its designees, will deposit additional funds into the Trust Account established in connection with the Company’s IPO in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) $0.04 per public share multiplied by the number of public shares then outstanding and (ii) $160,000, up to a maximum aggregate contribution of $1,920,000.

In order to mitigate the risk of being viewed as operating an unregistered investment company, the Company will, on or prior to the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement relating to the IPO, hold all funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing bank deposit account, which is currently expected to yield interest of approximately 4.0% per annum. On September 29, 2022, the Company signed a non-binding letter of intent for a business combination with a company in the critical minerals sector (“Target”). However, no assurances can be made that the Company and Target will successfully negotiate and enter into a definitive agreement regarding a business combination. Any transaction would be subject to board and equity holder approval of both companies, regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

If the Company were to become a covered corporation in the future, the per-share redemption amount payable from the Trust Account (including any interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account) to our public stockholders in connection with a redemption of our stock is not expected to be reduced by any Excise Tax imposed on the Company.
