NEW YORK, Oct. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hennessy Capital Investment Corp. VI (NASDAQ: HCVI) (the “Company”) announced today that the Company’s stockholders voted in favor of the proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (“Charter”) to extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination from September 30, 2024 to March 31, 2025 (the “Extended Date”), or such earlier date as determined by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”), and to allow the Company, without another stockholder vote, to elect, by resolution of the Board, to further extend the Extended Date to consummate an initial business combination up to three times for an additional one month each time, until up to June 30, 2025, unless the closing of an initial business combination shall have occurred prior thereto. The Company’s stockholders also voted in favor of the proposal to remove from the Charter the limitation that the Company may not redeem public shares of its common stock to the extent that such redemption would result in the Company’s failure to have net tangible assets in excess of $5 million. A Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing the full voting results will be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Daniel Hennessy, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company remarked: “We are extremely pleased with the support of stockholders who voted overwhelmingly for the extension, which allows us to continue focusing on completing the proposed business combination with Namib Minerals.”
