Extension Meeting Promissory Note
As disclosed in the definitive proxy statement filed by Slam Corp. (the
"Company") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on
January 31, 2023 (the "Proxy Statement"), relating to the extraordinary general
meeting of shareholders of the Company (the "Extension Meeting"), Slam Sponsor,
LLC (the "Sponsor") agreed that if the Extension Amendment Proposal (as defined
below) is approved, it or one or more of its affiliates, members or third-party
designees (the "Lender") will contribute to the Company as a loan, within five
(5) business days of the date of the Extension Meeting, $2,400,000, to be
deposited into the trust account established in connection with the Company's
initial public offering (the "Trust Account"). In addition, in the event the
Company does not consummate an initial business combination by the Articles
Extension Date (as defined below), the Lender may contribute to the Company
$800,000 as a loan to be deposited into the Trust Account for each of nine
one-month extensions following the Articles Extension Date.
Accordingly, on February 21, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory
note in the total principal amount of up to $10,447,000 (the "Promissory Note")
to the Sponsor. The Sponsor funded the initial principal amount of $3,247,000 on
February 23, 2023. The Promissory Note does not bear interest and matures upon
closing of the Company's initial business combination. In the event that the
Company does not consummate a business combination, the Promissory Note will be
repaid only from amounts remaining outside of the Trust Account, if any.
$2,400,000 of the initial principal amount of the Promissory Note has been
deposited in the Trust Account.
The foregoing description of the Promissory Note is not complete and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of such document, which is
filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal
Year.
On February 21, 2023, the Company held the Extension Meeting (1) to amend the
Company's amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the
"Articles") to extend the date (the "Termination Date") by which the Company has
to consummate a business combination (the "Articles Extension") from
February 25, 2023 (the "Original Termination Date") to May 25, 2023 (the
"Articles Extension Date") and to allow the Company, without another shareholder
vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date to consummate a business
combination on a monthly basis for up to nine times by an additional one month
each time after the Articles Extension Date, by resolution of the Company's
board of directors if requested by the Sponsor, and upon five days' advance
notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until February 25, 2024, or a
total of up to twelve months after the Original Termination Date, unless the
closing of the Company's initial business combination shall have occurred prior
to such date (the "Extension Amendment Proposal") and (2) to amend the Articles
to eliminate from the Articles the limitation that the Company may not redeem
Class A ordinary shares 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 (the "Redemption Limitation") in order to allow the Company to
redeem Public Shares irrespective of whether such redemption would exceed the
Redemption Limitation (the "Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal"). The
shareholders of the Company approved the Extension Amendment Proposal and the
Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal at the Extension Meeting and on
February 21, 2023, the Company filed the Articles Amendment with the Registrar
of Companies of the Cayman Islands.

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On February 21, 2023, the Company held the Extension Meeting to approve the
Extension Amendment Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal
and a proposal to allow the adjournment of the Extension Meeting to a later date
or dates, if necessary, (1) to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies
if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Extension Meeting, there
were insufficient ordinary shares of the Company represented (either in person
or by proxy) to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal or Redemption
Limitation Amendment Proposal or (2) if the shareholders of the Company elected
to redeem an amount of shares in connection with the Extension Amendment
Proposal or the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal such that the Company
would not adhere to the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Stock
Market LLC (the "Adjournment Proposal"), each as more fully described in the
Proxy Statement.
As there were sufficient votes to approve each of the Extension Amendment
Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal and following
redemptions in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal and the
Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal, the Company adheres to the continued
listing requirements of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, the Adjournment Proposal
was not presented to shareholders.
Holders of 54,774,164 ordinary shares of the Company held of record as of
January 17, 2023, the record date for the Extension Meeting, were present in
person or by proxy at the meeting, representing approximately 76.20% of the
voting power of the Company's ordinary shares as of the record date for the
Extension Meeting, and constituting a quorum for the transaction of business.
The voting results for the proposals were as follows:
The Extension Amendment Proposal
For Against Abstain
50,825,149 3,947,876 1,139
The Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal
For Against Abstain
50,825,130 3,947,795 1,239
In connection with the vote to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal, the
holders of 32,164,837 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of
the Company properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a
redemption price of approximately $10.20 per share, for an aggregate redemption
amount of approximately $328,092,029.60.
