Home Plate Acquisition Corporation (NASDAQ:HPLT) announced that it adjourned its extension vote today and will reconvene the special meeting at 10:30 am ET on March 30.
At the upcoming meeting, the SPAC hopes to gain shareholder approval to extend its completion deadline from April 4, 2023, to October 4, 2023.

Home Plate plans to supplement this with a $45 million PIPE.
Athens-based Heidmar operates an asset-light shipbroking network providing access to a pool of 60 fuel tanker and dry bulk ships.
