Sizzle Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: SZZL) (“Sizzle” or the
“Company”), a publicly-traded special purpose acquisition company,
announced today that its stockholders have approved an extension of
the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business
combination from February 8, 2023 to August 8, 2023, or such
earlier date as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors
(“the “Extension”). The Extension was approved at the special
meeting of stockholders held on February 1, 2023 (the “Special
Meeting”) and it provides Sizzle with additional time to complete
its previously announced proposed business combination (the
“Proposed Business Combination”) with European Lithium Ltd (ASX:
EUR) (“European Lithium”), a mineral exploration company, to form
Critical Metals Corp. (“Critical Metals”).
The Company will deposit an aggregate amount of $200,000 (the
“Extension Payment”) into the Company’s trust account for its
public stockholders (the “Trust Account”) by February 9, 2023,
which enables the Company to extend the period of time it has to
consummate the Proposed Business Combination to March 8, 2023, and
will deposit the same amount each additional month that is needed
for the Company to consummate the Proposed Business Combination
until August 8, 2023 (unless the Company’s Board of Directors
decides to stop extending the time period earlier than such
date).
