Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
In connection with the special meeting in lieu of an annual meeting of
stockholders (the "Extension Meeting") of New Providence Acquisition Corp. II, a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), the Company and New Providence Acquisition
II LLC (the "Sponsor"), entered into share transfer agreements (each, an
"Agreement" and collectively, the "Agreements") with several holders (the
"Holders") of the Company's Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share
(the "Class A Shares"), pursuant to which such Holders agreed not to redeem an
aggregate of 5,000,000 Class A Shares (the "Non-Redeemed Shares"). In exchange
for the foregoing commitments not to redeem such Non-Redeemed Shares, the
Sponsor agreed to forfeit and surrender to the Company for no consideration an
aggregate of 1,500,000 Class A Shares and shares of Class B common stock, par
value $0.0001 per share (the "Class B Shares") held by the Sponsor, at the
closing of the Company's initial business combination, and the Company agreed to
issue an aggregate of 1,500,000 Class A Shares to the Holders at such time.
The foregoing summary of the Agreements does not purport to be complete and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Agreements filed herein as
Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal
Year.
On May 5, 2023, the Company held the Extension Meeting to amend the
Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation to (i) extend the
date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from May 9,
2023 to May 9, 2024 (such amendment, the "Extension Amendment" and such
proposal, the "Extension Amendment Proposal") and (ii) remove the limitation
that the Company may not redeem shares of public stock to the extent that such
redemption would result in the Company having net tangible assets (as determined
in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended), of less than $5,000,001 (such amendment, the "Redemption Limitation
Amendment" and such proposal, the "Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal").
The stockholders of the Company approved the Extension Amendment Proposal and
the Redemption Limitation Amendment at the Extension Meeting and on May 5, 2023,

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On May 5, 2023, the Company held the Extension Meeting to approve the Extension
Amendment Proposal, the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal, a proposal to
approve and ratify the appointment of Marcum LLP as the Company's independent
accountants for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022
and for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 (the "Auditor Ratification
Proposal") and a proposal to allow the adjournment of the Extension Meeting to a
later date or dates, if necessary, (a) to permit further solicitation and vote
of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Extension
Meeting, there were insufficient shares of common stock of the Company
represented (either in person or by proxy) to approve the Extension Amendment
Proposal, the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal or the Auditor
Ratification Proposal or (b) where the board of directors of the Company has
determined it is otherwise necessary (the "Adjournment Proposal"), each as more
fully described in the definitive proxy statement filed by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on April 19, 2023. As there were sufficient
votes to approve each of the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Redemption
Limitation Amendment Proposal and the Auditor Ratification Proposal, the
Adjournment Proposal was not presented to shareholders.
Holders of 27,057,100 shares of common stock of the Company held of record as of
April 11, 2023, the record date for the Extension Meeting, were present in
person or by proxy at the meeting, representing approximately 86.6% of the
