New Vista Acquisition Corp Announces Cancellation of Extraordinary General Meeting and Plan for Liquidation

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--New Vista Acquisition Corp (NASDAQ: NVSA) (“New Vista” or the “Company”) today announced that it has cancelled the extraordinary general meeting that was previously scheduled for 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on February 15, 2023, and is abandoning the proposals set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the extraordinary general meeting filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

The Company will not consummate an initial business combination by February 19, 2023—the deadline under its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Charter”). Therefore, following February 19, 2023, the Company will proceed to redeem all of the Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company included as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering (the “Public Shares”) in accordance with the Charter. Following such redemption, the Company will liquidate and dissolve.

In order to provide for the disbursement of funds from the Company’s trust account, the Company will instruct the trustee of the trust account to take all necessary actions to liquidate the securities held in the trust account. Record holders will receive their pro rata portion of the proceeds of the trust account by delivering their Public Shares to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent. Beneficial owners of Public Shares held in “street name,” however, will not need to take any action in order to receive the redemption amount. The redemption of the Public Shares is expected to be completed by March 6, 2023.

The Company expects that Nasdaq will file a Form 25 with the SEC to delist the Company’s securities. The Company thereafter will file a Form 15 with the SEC to terminate the registration of its securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
