Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws.
On June 2, 2023, Fortune Rise Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware an
amendment (the "Extension Amendment") to the Company's amended and restated
certificate of incorporation to amend the monthly extension amounts to be paid
by Fortune Rise Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the
"Sponsor") (or its affiliates), to extend the period of time for the Company to
consummate a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase,
reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company to be made
upon the request of the Sponsor, and approval by the Company's board of
directors, from an amended price per unredeemed share of Class A common stock of
$0.0625 to the lower of $100,000 or $0.05 per unredeemed share of Class A Common
Stock.
The Company's stockholders approved the Extension Amendment at a special meeting
of stockholders of the Company (the "Special Meeting") on June 2, 2023. The
foregoing description of the Extension Amendment is qualified in its entirety by
the full text of the Extension Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto
and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On June 2, 2023, at the Special Meeting, a total of 5,468,633 (or 65.17%) of the
Company's issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock and Class B
common stock held of record as of May 8, 2023, the record date for the Special
Meeting, were present either in person or by proxy, which constituted a quorum.
The Company's stockholders voted on the following proposals at the Special
Meeting, each of which received sufficient votes (more than 65%) for approval.
The final vote tabulation for each proposal is set forth below.
Proposal 1. To approve and adopt the Extension Amendment Proposal.

The Company's stockholders approved the Extension Amendment Proposal. Although
the adjournment proposal would have received sufficient votes to be approved, no
motion to adjourn was made because the adjournment of the Special Meeting was
determined not to be necessary or appropriate.

shares of Class A common stock properly exercised their right to redeem their
shares (and did not withdraw their redemption) for cash at a redemption price of

will be left in trust (once the redemptions are processed) and 3,614,952 public
shares of Class A common stock remain outstanding. The disclosure above

change.
