MARINA DEL REY, Calif., March 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Arrowroot Acquisition Corp. (“Arrowroot” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ARRWU, ARRW, ARRWW) today announced that its special meeting of stockholders (“Special Meeting”) will be postponed from its scheduled time of 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on March 15, 2024 to 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on March 25, 2024. The Special Meeting can still be accessed virtually by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ARRW2024SM. You will need the 12-digit meeting control number that is printed on your proxy card to enter the Special Meeting. The record date for the Special Meeting will be March 13, 2024.
For a stockholder of record as of the close of business on January 18, 2024, the original record date, who is also a stockholder of record on the new record date of March 13, 2024, and who provided a proxy to the Company based on the original record date, such proxy shall remain in full force and effect with respect to the number of shares held by such stockholder as of the close of business on the new record date (March 13, 2024) set for the Special Meeting unless explicitly revoked, or a later dated proxy is submitted, by the applicable stockholder. Previously submitted proxies are revocable. The previous submission of proxies also will not affect your right to vote in the event that you attend the Special Meeting. Please note, however, that attendance alone at the Special Meeting without voting will not be sufficient to revoke a previously authorized proxy. Please see your proxy card for specific instructions on how to vote your shares by telephone, through the Internet or by mail. If you have not already done so, it is important that you vote your Class A Common Stock promptly.
Stockholders as of the record date can vote, even if they have subsequently sold their shares. Any stockholders who wish to change their vote and need assistance should contact Okapi Partners LLC at (212) 297-0720, or [email protected]. In connection with the postponement of the Special Meeting, the Company has extended the deadline of holders of the Company’s Class A common stock issued in its initial public offering (the “Public Shares”) to submit their Public Shares for redemption until 5 p.m. Eastern Time on March 21, 2024. Stockholders who wish to withdraw their previously submitted redemption requests may do so prior to the rescheduled meeting by requesting that the transfer agent return such Public Shares prior to 9 a.m. Eastern Time on March 25, 2024.
