Prime Impact I (NYSE:PIAI) announced in an 8-K this morning that it has postponed its upcoming extension vote slated for today to noon ET March 8.
Shareholders now have until 5 pm ET March 6 to make their redemption decisions and as of the last deadline, 2,725,066 shares had been tendered for redemption. This would remove about $27.8 million from the estimated $69 million Prime Impact I has remaining in its trust.
With the postponement, Prime Impact I will have more time to engage with investors about its recently announced business combination, however.
On January 30, the SPAC announced an $841 million deal with Cheche Technology. Beijing-based Cheche provides a digital insurance platform for car owners in China with about 34 million vehicles covered.

These further extensions would require a contribution of the lesser of $1.05 million or $0.175 per share.
