Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On May 25, 2023, Valuence Merger Corp. I (the "Company") held the extraordinary
general meeting of the Company (the "Meeting"). Holders of 23,240,304 of the
Company's ordinary shares were represented in person or by proxy at the Meeting,
which represents approximately 84.5% of the ordinary shares issued and
outstanding and entitled to vote as of the record date of April 24, 2023.
At the Meeting, the Company's shareholders approved a proposal to amend the
Company's amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the
"Articles") to provide the Company with the right to extend the date by which
the Company must consummate its initial business combination (the "Extension"),
from June 3, 2023 (the "Current Outside Date") to September 3, 2023 (the
"Extended Date"), and to allow the Company, without another shareholder vote, by
resolution of the board of directors of the Company, to elect to further extend
the Extended Date in one-month increments up to eighteen (18) additional times,
or a total of up to twenty-one (21) months after the Current Outside Date, until
up to March 3, 2025 (each, an "Additional Extended Date") (the "Extension," and
such proposal, the "Extension Proposal"). The Company's shareholders also
approved a proposal (the "Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal") to amend
the Articles to eliminate (i) the limitation that the Company may not redeem
public shares in an amount that would cause the Company's net tangible assets to
be less than $5,000,001 and (ii) the limitation that the Company shall not
consummate a business combination unless the Company has net tangible assets of
at least $5,000,001 immediately prior to, or upon consummation of, or any
greater net tangible asset or cash requirement that may be contained in the
agreement relating to, such business combination. The Company's shareholders
also approved a proposal (the "Founder Share Amendment Proposal") to provide for
the right of a holder of the Company's Class B ordinary shares, par value
$0.0001 per share, to convert such shares into Class A ordinary shares, par
value $0.0001 per share, on a one-for-one basis at any time and from time to
time prior to the closing of a business combination at the election of the
holder. The vote tabulation for the Extension Proposal, Redemption Limitation
Amendment Proposal and the Founder Share Amendment Proposal is set forth below.
