Exhibit 10.1

 

AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT TRUST AGREEMENT

 

THIS AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO THE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT TRUST AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is made as of December 1, 2023, by and between Canna-Global Acquisition Corp, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation (the “Trustee”). Capitalized terms contained in this Amendment, but not specifically defined in this Amendment, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Original Agreement (as defined below).

 

WHEREAS, on December 2, 2021, the Company consummated its initial public offering of units of the Company (the “Units”), each of which is composed of one Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.000001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), and of one redeemable warrant, each whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A common stock of the Company (such initial public offering hereinafter referred to as the “Offering”);

 

WHEREAS, $233,450,000 of the gross proceeds of the Offering and sale of the private placement warrants were delivered to the Trustee to be deposited and held in the segregated Trust Account located in the United States for the benefit of the Company and the holders of Common Stock included in the Units issued in the Offering pursuant to the investment management trust agreement made effective as of December 2, 2021, by and between the Company and the Trustee (the “Original Agreement”);

 

WHEREAS, the Company previously has sought the approval of the holders of its Common Stock and holders of its Class B Common Stock, par value $0.000001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”), at an special meeting to extend the date before which the Company must complete a business combination from December 2, 2022 to December 2, 2023 (or such earlier date after December 2, 2022 as determined by the Company’s board of directors) to extend the date on which the Trustee must liquidate the Trust Account if the Company has not completed its initial business combination from December 2, 2022 to December 2, 2023;

 

WHEREAS, the Company has sought the approval of the holders of its Common Stock and holders of its Class B Common Stock, at an special meeting on December 1, 2023, to extend the date before which the Company must complete a business combination from December 2, 2023 to December 2, 2024 (or such earlier date after December 2, 2022 as determined by the Company’s board of directors) (the “Extension Amendment”) and thus extend the date on which the Trustee must liquidate the Trust Account if the Company has not completed its initial business combination from December 2, 2023 to December 2, 2024 (or such earlier date after December 2, 2023, as determined by the Company’s board of directors);

 

WHEREAS, holders of a majority of at least 65% of the then issued and outstanding Common Stock voting together as a single class, approved the Extension Amendment; and

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. Amendment to Trust Agreement. Section 1(i) of the Original Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
