Item
1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 22, 2023 and August
23, 2023, Northern Star IV Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), the sponsor of Northern Star Investment Corp. IV (the “Company”),
entered into agreements (“Non-Redemption Agreements”) with several unaffiliated third parties in exchange for them agreeing
not to redeem an aggregate of 1,400,000 shares of the Company sold in its initial public offering (“Non-Redeemed Shares”)
at the special meeting called by the Company (the “Meeting”) to approve an extension of time for the Company to consummate
an initial business combination (the “Extension Proposal”) from September 4, 2023 to March 4, 2024 or such earlier liquidation
and dissolution date as the Company’s board of directors may approve (the “Extension”). In exchange for the foregoing
commitment not to redeem such shares, the Sponsor has agreed to transfer to such investors an aggregate of 280,000 shares of the Company
held by the Sponsor immediately following consummation of an initial business combination if they continue to hold such Non-Redeemed
Shares through the Meeting. The Non-Redemption Agreements are not expected to increase the likelihood that the Extension Proposal is
approved by stockholders but will increase the amount of funds that remain in the Company’s trust account following the Meeting.
The foregoing summary of the Non-Redemption Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the form of Non-Redemption Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Forward-Looking
Statements
This
Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”) includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking
statements are statements that are not historical facts. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, which
could cause actual results to differ from the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements and factors that may cause
such differences include, without limitation, the risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the Company’s filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company expressly disclaims any obligations or undertaking to release publicly
any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations
with respect thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based.
Participants
in the Solicitation
The
Company and its directors, executive officers, other members of management and employees, under SEC rules, may be deemed to be participants
in the solicitation of proxies from the securityholders of the Company in favor of the approval of the Extension Proposal. Investors
and security holders may obtain more detailed information regarding the names, affiliations and interests of the Company’s directors
and officers in the definitive proxy statement dated August 15, 2023 (the “Proxy Statement”), which may be obtained free
of charge from the sources indicated below.
No
Offer or Solicitation
This
Report shall not constitute a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities. This communication shall
also not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities
in any states or jurisdictions in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under
the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements
of Section 10 of the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom.
Additional
Information and Where to Find It
The
Company urges investors, stockholders and other interested persons to read the Proxy Statement as well as other documents filed by the
Company with the SEC, because these documents will contain important information about the Company and the Extension Proposal. Stockholders
may obtain copies of the Proxy Statement, without charge, at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or by directing
a request to the Company’s proxy solicitor, Advantage Proxy, Inc., P.O. Box 13581, Des Moines, WA 98198, Attn: Karen Smith,
Toll Free Telephone: (877) 870-8565, Main Telephone: (206) 870-8565, E-mail: ksmith@advantageproxy.com.
