Item 8.01. Other Events.

On May 15, 2023, Pontem Corporation (the “Company”) (NYSE: PNTM) issued a press release announcing that on or about the close of business on May 30, 2023, the publicly held Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001, will be deemed cancelled and will represent only the right to receive their pro-rata share in the Company’s trust account, because the Company will not consummate an initial business combination within the time period required by its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. The last day of trading will be May 26, 2023.

All holders of Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, issued prior to the Company’s initial public offering have agreed to waive their rights with respect to such shares. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless.

The Company expects that the New York Stock Exchange will file a Form 25 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in order to delist the Company’s securities. The Company thereafter expects to file a Form 15 with the Commission to terminate the registration of the Company’s securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
