The information disclosed in Item 5.03 of this Current Report with respect to the Extension Amendment and the Redemption Limitation Amendment (each as defined below) is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03 to the extent required.

On April 14, 2023, Worldwide Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”) to vote on the proposals as described in this Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Current Report”). At the Meeting, the Company’s shareholders also approved two proposals to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Articles”). The first such proposal (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”) sought to amend the Articles to extend the date by which the Company must (1) consummate a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities, (2) cease its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete such business combination, and (3) redeem all of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares sold in the Company’s initial public offering that was consummated on October 22, 2021 (the “IPO”), from 18 months from the closing of the Company’s IPO to 24 months from the closing of the IPO (the “Extension Amendment”). The second such proposal (the “Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal”) sought to amend the Articles to eliminate the limitation that the Company shall not redeem Class A ordinary shares sold in the IPO to the extent that such redemption would cause the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 (the “Redemption Limitation Amendment”).

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the amendment to the Company’s Articles, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

At the Meeting, holders of 23,536,229 ordinary shares (consisting of 18,911,229 Class A ordinary shares and 4,625,000 Class B ordinary shares) were present in person, virtually over the Internet or by proxy, representing 81.87% of the voting power of the Company’s ordinary shares as of March 20, 2023, the record date for the Meeting, and constituting a quorum for the transaction of business.
