Other Events.

On June 27, 2023, Hawks Acquisition Corp (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing it will redeem all of its outstanding shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Class A Common Stock”), effective as of the close of business on July 12, 2023, because the Company will not consummate an initial business combination within the time period required by its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Company expects that the last day of trading of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and its Units on the NYSE will be July 11, 2023, following which the Company expects that the NYSE will file a Form 25 with the SEC to delist its securities on or about July 11, 2023. The Company thereafter expects to file a Form 15 with the SEC to terminate the registration of its securities under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
