Palo Alto, Calif., Dec. 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Epiphany Technology Acquisition Corp. announced (the “Company”) today that it will be unable to consolidate its initial business combination and that it intends to dissolve and liquidate in accordance with the provisions of its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (“Liquidation”). On November 29, 2022, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) in connection with a special meeting in lieu of an annual meeting of stockholders (the “Meeting”) to consider and vote on certain proposals, including extending the date by which the Company must complete an initial business combination from January 12, 2023 to July 12, 2023 (the “Extension”), supplemented on December 13, 2022. At that time since the filing of the Proxy Statement, the Company was in active discussions with partner companies and believed that it could consummate a business combination if the stockholders approved the Extension. However, after careful consideration, the Company determined that it would not be able to deliver a quality transaction to stockholders even with an Extension (we previously reported that no contribution was made to its trust account in connection with the Extension). Therefore, due to the recent developments and the current uncertainty regarding the implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which provides for, among other things, a new federal excise tax of 1% of the United States on certain repurchases (including redemptions) of publicly traded stock. domestic corporations that occur after December 31, 2022, the Company intends to proceed with the Liquidation after the Meeting. The Company expects to hold the Meeting as originally planned on December 20, 2022 and will continue to accept redemption requests until 2:00 pm Eastern time on December 20, 2022. In connection with the Meeting, the Company expects the price per share to be approximately $10.10 for the public shares that will be redeemed from money held in the trust account. The redemption price paid to stockholders who do not elect to redeem their shares in connection with the Meeting but in connection with the Liquidation may be subject to the 1% excise tax on redemptions after January 1, 2023.
