Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

Extraordinary General Meeting

On April 14, 2023, Global Technology Acquisition Corp. I, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“GTAC”) held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”), at which holders of GTAC’s 21,033,957 ordinary shares, comprised of GTAC’s Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Ordinary Shares”), and GTAC’s Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Ordinary Shares”), were present in person or by proxy, representing approximately 84.14% of the voting power of the 25,000,000 issued and outstanding ordinary shares of GTAC, comprised of 20,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and 5,000,000 Class B Class B Ordinary Shares, entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting at the close of business on March 7, 2023, which was the record date (the “Record Date”) for the Extraordinary General Meeting. GTAC’s shareholders of record as of the close of business on the Record Date are referred to herein as “Shareholders”. In connection with the Extension (as defined below), a total of 167 Shareholders have elected to redeem an aggregate of 17,910,004 Class A Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 89.55% of the issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares. A summary of the voting results at the Extraordinary General Meeting for each of the proposals is set forth below.

Proposal 1

The Shareholders approved, by special resolution, the proposal to amend and restate GTAC’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, in the form set forth in Annex A of the proxy statement, to extend the date by which GTAC must (1) consummate a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination (an “initial business combination”), (2) cease its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete such initial business combination, and (3) redeem all of the Class A Ordinary Shares, included as part of the units sold in GTAC’s initial public offering that was consummated on October 25, 2021 (the “IPO”), from April 25, 2023 to April 25, 2024 or to October 25, 2024 at the election of GTAC in two separate three-month extensions subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including the deposit of up to $2,000,000 ($0.10 per unit in each case) for each three-month extension, into the trust account established in connection with the IPO (the “Extension” and such proposal, the “Extension Proposal”). The voting results for such proposal were as follows:

On April 14, 2023, to effectuate the Extension, GTAC filed with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies the Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of GTAC (the “Second A&R Charter”). The foregoing description of the Second A&R Charter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Second A&R Charter, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Proposal 2

The proposal to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or convenient, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there were insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Extension Proposal, was not presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting, as the Extension Proposal received a sufficient number of votes for approval.
