Blue World Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:BWAQ) announced this morning that it has postponed its April 26 special meeting to 9 am ET May 2.
Shareholders will be voting on a proposal to allow Blue World to extend its transaction deadline up to nine times in one-month increments in exchange for contributions of $0.0295 per share to the trust each time.
This is a slight step down from $0.035 per share contribution Blue World envisioned in its initial proxy for the vote.
