Explanatory Note

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends the Current Report on Form 8-K of Ignyte Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on October 27, 2022 (the “Original Form 8-K”). The Original Form 8-K, among other things, reported the final voting results of the Company’s special meeting of stockholders held on October 25, 2022 (the “Special Meeting”). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to correct the number of votes disclosed in Item 5.07 of the Original Form 8-K due to an administrative error. No other changes have been made to the Original Form 8-K.

Item 5.07

On October 25, 2022, the Company held a special meeting in lieu of the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, a total of 5,684,349 (78.0%) of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock held of record as of September 29, 2022, the record date for the Special Meeting, were present either in person (including by virtual presence online at the Special Meeting) or by proxy, which constituted a quorum. The Company’s stockholders voted on the following proposals at the Special Meeting, each of which was approved and is described in more detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange commission (the “SEC”) on October 7, 2022. The final vote tabulation for each proposal is set forth below.
