On the Closing Date, Quantum, New Pubco and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”) entered into that certain Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement (the “New Warrant Agreement”). The New Warrant Agreement amends that certain Warrant Agreement, dated as of February 4, 2021, by and between Quantum and Continental (the “Existing Warrant Agreement”), to provide for the assignment by Quantum of all its rights, title and interest in the warrants of Quantum to New Pubco. Pursuant to the New Warrant Agreement, all Quantum warrants under the Existing Warrant Agreement will no longer be exercisable for shares of Quantum’s Class A common stock, but instead will be exercisable for shares of New Pubco Class A common stock.

2The foregoing description of the New Warrant Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the New Warrant Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, on the Closing Date, Quantum and New Pubco notified the NYSE American LLC (the “NYSE American”) that the certificate of merger relating to the Business Combination had been filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and that Quantum’s outstanding securities had been converted into New Pubco Class A common stock and New Pubco Warrants, as described in the Introductory Note above. On February 12, 2024, the NYSE American filed a notification of removal from listing and registration on Form 25, thereby commencing the process of delisting Quantum’s securities from the NYSE American and deregistering the securities under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

The information set forth in the Introductory Note, Item 1.01, Item 2.01 and Item 3.01 above and Item 5.01 below of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03.

As a result of the consummation of the Business Combination, a change in control of Quantum occurred. Following the consummation of the Business Combination, Quantum became a wholly owned subsidiary of New Pubco.

Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On February 8, 2024, the Company held the Special Meeting. On January 22, 2024, the record date for the Special Meeting, there were 10,081,634 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to be voted at the Special Meeting, approximately 73.5% of which were represented in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting.

The final result for the matter submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders at the Special Meeting was as follows:

Charter Amendment Proposal

The stockholders approved the proposal to amend the Company’s Charter, to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination for an additional two months, from the Termination Date to the Extended Date, provided that the Sponsor (or its affiliates or permitted designees) will deposit into the Trust Account an amount determined by multiplying $0.02 by the number of public shares then outstanding, up to a maximum of $40,000 for each such one-month extension unless the closing of the Company’s initial business combination shall have occurred, in exchange for a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note payable upon consummation of a business combination. The voting results were as follows:

FOR		AGAINST		ABSTAIN		BROKER NON-VOTES
7,400,440		13,992		0		n/a

As a result of the completion of the Business Combination by the deadline under Quantum’s charter, Quantum did not need to implement the charter amendment for an additional extension. As a result, Quantum did not redeem any public shares submitted for redemption solely in connection with the Special Meeting.
