December 11 2023 - 7:00AM
Business Wire
Gardiner Healthcare Acquisitions Corp. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq:
GDNR, GDNRU, GDNRW), a special purpose acquisition company, today
announced that its directors have determined to dissolve and
liquidate the Company in accordance with the provisions of the
Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as
further amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), and the
Investment Management Trust Agreement, between the Company and
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“CST” or the
“Trustee”), dated as of December 21, 2021, as amended (the “Trust
Agreement”), and will not consummate an initial business
combination. Accordingly, the Company will redeem all of its
outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001, that were
issued in its initial public offering (the “Public Shares”),
effective as of the close of business on December 18th, 2023 at a
per-share redemption price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate
amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (as defined in the
Trust Agreement), including interest earned on the funds held in
the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay
taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution
expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares,
which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’
rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further
liquidation distributions, if any).
In order to provide for the disbursement of funds from the Trust
Account, the Company has instructed the Trustee of the Trust
Account to take all necessary actions to liquidate the Trust
Account. The proceeds of the Trust Account will be held in a
non-interest bearing account while awaiting disbursement to the
holders of the Public Shares. Holders may redeem their shares for
their pro rata portion of the proceeds of the Trust Account (less
$100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) by delivering
their Public Shares or units to CST, as transfer agent. Investors
holding through a broker need to take no action in order to receive
payment. The redemption of the Public Shares is expected to be
completed on or about December 18, 2023 (the “Redemption Date”). At
the close of business on the business day prior to the Redemption
Date, the Company will stop trading its Public Shares, and each
Public Share held at that time will represent the right to receive
the redemption amount equal to the pro rata portion of the proceeds
of the Trust Account.
There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions
with respect to the Company’s warrants.
The Company’s initial shareholders, sponsors, officers and
directors have waived their rights to liquidating distributions
from the Trust Account with respect to any private placement shares
or founder shares they hold. However, if the Company’s initial
shareholders, sponsor or management team acquired any Public Shares
or units in or after the Company’s initial public offering, they
are entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account
with respect to such Public Shares.
The Company expects that Nasdaq will file a Form 25 with the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to
delist the Company’s securities. The Company thereafter expects to
file a Form 15 with the SEC to terminate the registration of its
securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.
