Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Public Companies.

Cambridge, MA, June 16, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WinVest Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: WINV, the “Company”), a special purpose acquisition company, announced today that at a special meeting of its stockholders held on June 12, 2023, the Company’s stockholders voted in favor of a proposal to amend its amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended (the “Charter”), to extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination (the “Termination Date”) from June 17, 2023 to July 17, 2023 (the “Charter Extension Date”), and to allow the Company, without another stockholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date on a monthly basis for up to five times by an additional one month (or such shorter period as may be requested) each time after the Charter Extension Date, by resolution of the Company’s board of directors, if requested by WinVest SPAC LLC, the Company’s sponsor (the “Sponsor”), subject to the deposit by the Sponsor or one or more of its affiliates, members or third-party designees of $65,000 per monthly extension into the Company’s trust account (the “Trust Account”). In connection therewith, on June 13, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor with a principal amount equal to $390,000. The promissory note bears no interest and is convertible at the option of the Sponsor upon the consummation of an initial business combination into private warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.50 per private warrant. Such private warrants will be identical to the private placement warrants issued to the Sponsor at the time of the Company’s initial public offering.

At the special meeting, the Company’s stockholders also voted in favor of (i) a proposal to effect a corresponding amendment to the Investment Management Trust Agreement by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Co. to extend the Termination Date and (ii) a proposal to amend the Charter to eliminate the limitation that the Company may not consummate an initial business combination unless it has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon consummation of such initial business combination.

On June 15, 2023, the Sponsor notified the Company of its request to extend the Termination Date and deposited into the Trust Account an aggregate of $65,000 (representing approximately $0.051 per share of common stock issued in the Company’s initial public offering that has not been redeemed), in order to extend the period of time the Company has to complete an initial business combination for an additional one (1) month period, from June 17, 2023 to July 17, 2023. The purpose of the extension is to provide time for the Company to complete an initial business combination.
