VSACW Vision Sensing Acquisition Corporation

Vision Sensing Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: VSACU, VSAC, VSACW) (the “Company”) a special purpose acquisition company, announced today that it has postponed the Special Meeting of its Stockholders scheduled to occur at 8:30 a.m. EDT on Friday, October 20, 2023 until 12:00 noon EDT on Wednesday, October 25, 2023.

VSAC is also reopening the period during which holders of shares of VSAC’s Class A common stock can submit their shares for redemption in connection with the Extension Amendment (as defined below) until 5:00 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, October 24, 2023.

VSAC is also revising the Trust Amendment to explicitly authorize Continental Stock transfer and Trust Company to transfer the remaining funds in VSAC’s Trust Account after redemptions of shares of VSAC Class A common stock into an interest-bearing demand deposit account as previously announced.

On October 3, 2023, Vision Sensing Acquisition Corp. (“VSAC”) filed a Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A (the "Proxy Statement") with respect to a special meeting of its stockholders to be held on Friday, October 20, 2023 at 8:30 a.m. EST (the “Special Meeting”) to vote on a proposal (the "Extension Proposal") to amend VSAC’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Charter") to extend the deadline to consummate a business combination (the "Extension") from November 3, 2023 to May 3, 2024 (the “Extension Amendment”) and a proposal (the “Trust Amendment Proposal”) to make corresponding amendments (the “Trust Amendment”) to its Investment Management Trust Agreement dated November 1, 2021 as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated May 1, 2023 with Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company (“Continental”). If VSAC’s stockholders approve the Extension Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal at the Special Meeting, VSAC or Vision Sensing, LLC, VSAC’s sponsor, will deposit into VSAC’s trust account, the lesser of $60,000 or $0.045 for each of up to six 1-month Extension going forward.

Adoption of the Extension Amendment entitles VSAC’s public stockholders to require the redemption of their VSAC Class A common stock with funds from VSAC’s trust account. According to the final redemption report, provided by Continental on October 18, 2023, holders of 264,443 of VSAC’s Class A common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares.

As previously reported, on August 30, 2022, VSAC entered into a business combination agreement with Newsight Imaging Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Israel (“Newsight”) and Newsight Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Newsight (“Merger Sub”), which was amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto on January 13, 2023, and Amendment No. 2 thereto on January 29, 2023 (as it may be further amended, the “Business Combination Agreement”). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into VSAC, with VSAC surviving the merger. As a result of the Business Combination, and upon consummation of the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, VSAC will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Newsight, with the securityholders of VSAC becoming securityholders of Newsight.

Newsight has informed VSAC that, pending interim financing, Newsight has significantly reduced operations.  Although Newsight has not reduced its core management team, nor reduced any of its intellectual property nor intellectual property rights, the company has reduced customer service other than with the core management team, and non-core research and development.  VSAC is working vigorously with Newsight to assist Newsight in raising funds to allow it to resume full operations and consummate the Business Combination and believes it will be successful; however, there can be no assurance to this effect.  In the event Newsight is unable to raise financing and consummate the Business Combination, VSAC expects to use the additional time provided by the Extensions to seek another acquisition target and seek to consummate its initial business combination with another target prior to the end of the last Extension.
