NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / July 7, 2022 / Benessere Capital Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:BENE, BENEU, BENEW, and BENER) ("Benessere" or the "Company") today announced the Company has determined to adjourn the special stockholders' meeting (the "Special Meeting") for the consideration of extending the date by which the Company must consummate a business combination from July 7, 2022 to January 7, 2023, or such earlier date as determined by the Company's board of directors (the "Extended Date") (the "Proposed Extension") to 5 p.m., Eastern Time, on July 8, 2022.

The board of directors has determined to adjourn the special meeting of its stockholders until July 8, 2022 to allow for additional time for its inspector of election to certify all votes received. During the adjournment, polls will be closed to stockholders. No new votes will be accepted. Stockholders who have already voted will be permitted to add additional information to their proxies such as medallion guarantees that might permit their existing proxies to be certified by the Company's inspector of election.

If stockholders have any questions or need assistance please call the Company's proxy solicitor, Advantage Proxy, at 1-877-870-8565 (toll free) or by email at ksmith@advantageproxy.com.

In connection with the adjourned date, the Company has extended the deadline for holders of the Company's Class A common stock issued in the Company's initial public offering to submit their shares for redemption in connection with the Proposed Extension to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Thursday, July 14, 2022. Shareholders who wish to withdraw their previously submitted redemption request may do so prior to the rescheduled meeting by requesting that the transfer agent return such shares.

If the Extension is implemented, the Company's sponsor will contribute to the Company's trust account an aggregate amount equal to $0.033 per share of Class A common stock issued in the Company's initial public offering that is not redeemed in connection with the stockholder vote to approve the Extension Amendment, for each calendar month (commencing on July 7, 2022 and on the 7th day of each subsequent month) until the Extended Date, or portion thereof. Such contributions will be made as a loan that will not accrue interest and will be repayable to the sponsor or its designee upon the consummation of an initial business combination. The Contribution will increase the pro rata portion of the funds available in the Company's trust account in the event of the consummation of an initial business combination or liquidation from approximately $10.35 per share to up to approximately $10.55 per share.
