NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DA32 Life Science Tech Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: DALS) today announced that its board of directors (the “Board”) has determined to redeem all of its outstanding shares of Class A common stock (the “Public Shares”), effective as of July 28, 2023, because the Company will not consummate an initial business combination within the time period required by its amended and restated certificate of incorporation.
As of the close of business on July 28, 2023, the Public Shares will be deemed cancelled and will represent only the rights to receive the per-share redemption price of approximately $10.31 (after taking into account the removal of a portion of the accrued interest in the trust account to pay taxes and $100,000 for dissolution expenses).
In order to provide for the disbursement of funds from the trust account, the Company will instruct the trustee of the trust account to take all necessary actions to liquidate the trust account. The proceeds of the trust account will be held in a non-interest bearing account while awaiting disbursement to the holders of the Public Shares. Record holders may redeem their shares for their pro rata portion of the proceeds of the trust account upon presentation of their respective shares or other delivery of their shares to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent. Beneficial owners of Public Shares held in “street name,” however, will not need to take any action in order to receive the redemption amount. The redemption of the Public Shares is expected to be completed within ten business days after July 28, 2023.
The Company’s initial shareholders have waived their redemption rights with respect to the outstanding shares of Class B common stock issued prior to the Company’s initial public offering.
The Company expects that Nasdaq will file a Form 25 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to delist its securities. The Company thereafter expects to file a Form 15 with the SEC to terminate the registration of its securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
