Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

On February 22, 2024, Nocturne Acquisition Corporation, a special purpose acquisition company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”) held an extraordinary general meeting (the “Meeting”). At the Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Charter”, and such amendment the “NTA Requirement Amendment”) to delete: (i) the limitations that the Company shall not consummate a business combination (as defined in the Charter) if it would cause the Company’s net tangible assets (“NTAs”) to be less than $5,000,001; and (ii) the limitations that the Company shall not redeem or repurchase its ordinary shares in an amount that would cause the Company’s NTAs to be less than $5,000,001 following such redemptions or repurchases, as applicable. The NTA Requirement Amendment became effective on February 22, 2024, upon approval by the Company’s shareholders at the Meeting.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the NTA Requirement Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

The information set forth in Item 3.03 is incorporated herein by reference to this Item 5.03.

Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

At the Meeting, an aggregate of 3,769,200 ordinary shares of the Company, which represents a quorum of the outstanding ordinary shares entitled to vote as of the record date of December 29, 2023 (the “Record Date”), were represented in person or by proxy at the Meeting.

At the Meeting, the Company’s shareholders voted on the following proposal, which was approved:

(1) The NTA Requirement Amendment Proposal - A proposal to amend, by special resolution, the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (as amended) (our “charter”) to delete: (i) the limitations that the Company shall not consummate a business combination (as defined in the charter) if it would cause the Company’s net tangible assets (“NTAs”) to be less than $5,000,001; and (ii) the limitations that the Company shall not redeem or repurchase its ordinary shares in an amount that would cause the Company’s NTAs to be less than $5,000,001 following such redemptions or repurchases, as applicable (the “NTA Requirement” and such proposal the “NTA Requirement Amendment Proposal”).

For		Against		Abstain
3,769,199		1		0

The Company had solicited proxies in favor of an adjournment proposal which would have given the Company authority to adjourn the Meeting to solicit additional proxies. As there were sufficient shares voted in favor of the NTA Requirement Amendment Proposal, this proposal was not voted upon at the Meeting.

In connection with the Meeting, shareholders holding 621 public shares (representing approximately 0.03% of the Company’s outstanding public shares and approximately 0.01% of the Company’s outstanding ordinary shares generally as of the Record Date) exercised their right to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account.
