Kingswood Acquisition Corp. (NYSE:KWAC) announced this morning that it is adjourning tomorrow’s special meeting from November 15, to November 18.
Similar to the issues Digital World (Nasdaq: DWAC) is having with its own extension vote, Kingswood disclosed that the meeting is being adjourned in order to solicit more votes toward the approval to further extend to May 24, 2023.
