Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
Extraordinary General Meeting
On October 28, 2022, Perception Capital Corp. II (the "company") held an extraordinary general meeting (the "general meeting"), at which holders of 23,264,839 ordinary shares, comprised of 17,514,839 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share ("Class A ordinary shares"), and 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share ("Class B ordinary shares," and together with the Class A ordinary shares, the "ordinary shares"), were present in person or by proxy, representing approximately 80.9% of the voting power of the 28,750,000 issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the company, comprised of 23,000,000 Class A ordinary shares and 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares, entitled to vote at the general meeting at the close of business on September 29, 2022, which was the record date (the "record date") for the general meeting. Shareholders of record as of the close of business on the record date are referred to herein as "shareholders."
In connection with the charter extension (as defined below), a total of 159 shareholders have elected to redeem an aggregate of 20,542,108 Class A ordinary shares, representing approximately 89.3% of the issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares. As a result, $210,161,773.71 will be paid out of the company's trust account in connection with the redemptions, representing a redemption price per Class A ordinary share of approximately $10.23. A summary of the voting results at the general meeting for each of the proposals is set forth below.
Proposal 1
The shareholders approved, by special resolution, the proposal to amend the company's amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend the date by which the company must (1) consummate a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination (the "initial business combination"), (2) cease its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete such initial business combination, and (3) redeem all of the Class A ordinary shares included as part of the units sold in its initial public offering from November 1, 2022, to May 1, 2023 (the "charter extension"). The voting results for such proposal were as follows:

On October 28, 2022, to effectuate the charter extension, the company filed with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies the amendment to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the company (the "charter amendment"). The foregoing description of the charter amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the charter amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Proposal 2
The proposal to adjourn the general meeting
to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there were insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the charter extension proposal,
was not presented at the general meeting, as
the charter extension proposal
received a sufficient number of votes required for approval.
