Thursday, April 20, 2023

NEW YORK, April 19, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Integral Acquisition Corporation 1 (“Integral 1”), a blank check company incorporated in Delaware, announced that it filed a definitive proxy statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to seek stockholder approval to, among other proposals, (1) extend the period of time the Company will have to consummate its initial business combination by up to 6 months from the current deadline of May 5, 2023 to November 3, 2023. 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) $0.035 per public share that is not redeemed and (ii) $105,000, up to a maximum aggregate contribution of $630,000 for the full 6-month Extension. Each contribution plus the amount remaining in the Trust Account is expected to be held in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. government treasury obligations and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. In order to mitigate the risk of being viewed as operating an unregistered investment company, the Company may, 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 3.5% per annum.

Key Points: 
  • On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law.
  • The Excise Tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its stockholders from which shares are repurchased.
  • The special meeting of stockholders will be conducted via a live webcast available at https://www.cstproxy.com/integralacquisition1/2023 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on May 3, 2023.
  • The Company encourages its stockholders to vote in favor of the Extension and each other proposal described in the definitive proxy statement.
