Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
Arisz Acquisition Corp. ("Arisz" or the "Company") held a special meeting of
stockholders (the "Special Meeting") on May 11, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
The Special Meeting was held via teleconference. There were 8,901,389 shares of
the Company's Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, (the "Common Stock")
outstanding on the record date, April 6, 2023. There were 8,138,900 shares of
common stock of the Company present at the Special Meeting in person or
represented by proxy, which is 91.43% of the total shares of Common Stock
outstanding, thereby constituting a quorum. Summarized below are the results of
the matters voted on at the Special Meeting.
1. Charter Amendment
Stockholders approved the proposal to amend the Company's amended and restated
certificate of incorporation, to (a) extend the date by which Arisz must
consummate a business combination up to nine (9) times (the "Charter
Amendment"), each such extension for an additional one (1) month period (each an
"Extension"), from May 22, 2023 to February 22, 2024 (the latest such date
actually extended being referred to as the "Extended Termination Date"); and (b)
change Section 6(D) of the Charter to modify the net tangible asset requirement
(the "NTA Requirement") to state that the Arisz will not consummate any business
combination unless it (i) has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon
consummation of such business combination, or (ii) is otherwise exempt from the
provisions of Rule 419 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "NTA Amendment"). We refer to these proposals as the "Charter Amendment
Proposals." Adoption of the Charter Amendment Proposals required approval by the
affirmative vote of at least 50% of the holders of the Company's outstanding
shares of Common Stock. The voting results were as follows:
FOR AGAINST ABSTAIN BROKER NON-VOTES
7,439,203 473,179 226,518 0
The Company will file the Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the

2. Trust Amendment
Stockholders approved the proposal to amend the investment management trust
agreement, dated as of November 17, 2021 (the "Trust Agreement"), by and between
the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the "Trustee"),
allowing the Company to extend the date by which Arisz must consummate a
business combination up to nine (9) times, each such Extension for an additional
one (1) month period, until February 22, 2024, by depositing into the Trust
Account $120,000 (the "Extension Payment") for each one-month Extension (the
"Trust Amendment") (we refer to this proposal as the "Trust Amendment
Proposal"). Adoption of the Trust Amendment Proposal required approval by the
affirmative vote of at least 50% of the holders of the Company's outstanding

Item 8.01. Other Events.
In connection with the stockholders' vote at the Special Meeting of Stockholders
held by the Company on May 11, 2023, 3,745,635 shares of Common Stock were
tendered for redemption. As a result, approximately $39.18 million
(approximately $10.46 per share) will be removed from the Company's trust
account to pay such holders, without taking into account additional allocation
of payments to cover any tax obligation of the Company, such as franchise taxes,
but not including any excise tax, since that date. Following redemptions, the
Company will have 5,155,754 shares of Common Stock outstanding, and
approximately $33.02 million will remain in the Company's trust account.
In connection with the first one (1) month period Extension, Arisz Investments
LLC, the Company's sponsor, will deposit $120,000 into Arisz's trust account
prior to May 22, 2023, on behalf of the Company. Arisz will issue a press
release the day after the applicable deadline announcing that the funds have
been timely deposited.
