MEETING TOMORROW 10:00 A.M.
Digital World Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:DWAC) ("Digital World," and/or the "Company") today announced that it will hold the special meeting of its stockholders (the "Special Meeting") to vote on the approval and adoption of the proposed business combination (the "Business Combination") with Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. ("TMTG") on March 22, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time via live audio webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/DWAC2024SM.
Digital World stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 14, 2024 are entitled to attend and vote at the Special Meeting. The Business Combination is expected to close shortly after stockholder approval at the Special Meeting, subject to the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.
"Almost one year ago management made a commitment to the shareholders," declared Eric Swider, the Chief Executive Officer of Digital World. "We committed to stay focused on a singular objective of delivering a proxy to vote on the merger of Digital World and TMTG. Today we are humbled and grateful to be able to deliver on that commitment. We know it has been a long road for our shareholders and we are eternally grateful for your trust and patience." Swider continued, "I want to extend the sincerest of gratitude to TMTG for their absolute professionalism, confidence and trust they put in our organization to deliver this proxy. Without their unwavering commitment to their platform and to our shareholders this would not have been possible. TMTG Chief Executive Officer Devin Nunes and his entire team have been relentless in pursuit of this endeavor. I am excited to see what the future brings should the shareholders approve this merger."
TMTG CEO Devin Nunes said, "Since our founding, Truth Social has focused on improving the user experience, and we are currently beta testing new feature sets. If we are able to complete our proposed merger, we believe it will accelerate enhancements to the platform. Overall, Truth Social's goal is to break through the Big Tech monopoly and provide a refuge from censorship and cancel culture. We aim to protect Americans' voices and defend their freedom as tech oligarchs and corporate media enforcers struggle to impose their narratives."
