Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On or about April 4, 2023, Atlantic Coastal Acquisition Management II LLC (the
"Sponsor"), the Sponsor of Atlantic Coastal Acquisition Corp. II (the
"Company"), entered into agreements ("Non-Redemption Agreements") with several
unaffiliated third parties in exchange for them agreeing not to redeem an
aggregate of 3,325,900 shares ("Non-Redeemed Shares") of the Company's Series A
common stock sold in its initial public offering (the "Public Shares") at the
special meeting called by the Company (the "Meeting") to approve an extension of
time for the Company to consummate an initial business combination (the "Charter
Amendment Proposal") from April 19, 2023 to October 19, 2023 (an "Extension"),
subject to additional Extension(s) up to December 19, 2023 upon election by the
Sponsor. In exchange for the foregoing commitments not to redeem such shares,
the Sponsor has agreed to transfer to such investors an aggregate of 831,475
shares of the Company held by the Sponsor immediately following consummation of
an initial business combination if they continued to hold such Non-Redeemed
Shares through the Meeting. The foregoing summary of the Non-Redemption
Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the form of Non-Redemption Agreement previously filed by the
Company as Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 5, 2023
and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws.
The information included in Item 5.07 is incorporated by reference into this
item to the extent required.
Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On April 18, 2023, the Company held the Meeting. An aggregate of 29,463,955
shares of the Company's common stock, which represents a quorum of the
outstanding common stock entitled to vote as of the record date of March 13,
2023, were represented in person or by proxy at the Meeting.
The Company's stockholders voted on the following proposal at the Meeting, which
was approved:
(1) Proposal No. 1 - The Charter Amendment Proposal - a proposal to amend the
Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the "Charter") to
(a) extend the date by which the Company must consummate a business combination,
(b) provide holders of Series B Common Stock (as defined in the Charter) the
right to convert any and all their Series B Common Stock into Series A common
stock on a one-for-one basis prior to the closing of a business combination at
the election of the holder and (c) provide that certain charter amendments can
be effectuated with the affirmative vote of 65% of the shares of common stock
outstanding that are entitled to vote. The following is a tabulation of the
votes with respect to this proposal, which was approved by the Company's
stockholders:

As previously disclosed, in connection with the Meeting, the Sponsor entered
into Non-Redemption Agreements with several unaffiliated third parties and
agreed to transfer an aggregate of 831,475 shares of common stock to such
parties in exchange for them agreeing not to redeem their Public Shares at the
Meeting. The foregoing arrangements did not increase the likelihood that the
proposal was approved by stockholders but did increase the amount of funds that
remained in the Company's trust account following the Meeting. As a result of
the foregoing, effective April 18, 2023, holders of an aggregate of 26,564,308
Public Shares exercised, and did not reverse, their right to redeem their Public
Shares and as a result, such holders will receive a payment of approximately
$10.40 per share that they redeemed.
On April 18, 2023, the Company filed the amendment to its amended and restated
certificate of incorporation (the "Amended Charter") with the Secretary of State
of the State of Delaware. A copy of the Amended Charter is attached hereto as
Exhibit 3.1.

Item 8.01 Other Events.
On April 18, 2023, the Sponsor, the Company's independent directors, and Apeiron
Investment Group Ltd (collectively, the "Series B Holders") voluntarily
converted 7,499,999 shares of Series B Common Stock of the Company they held as
of such date into 7,499,999 shares of Series A common stock of the Company (the
"Conversion") in accordance with the Amended Charter. With respect to shares of
Series A common stock that they received as result of the Conversion, the Series
B Holders (i) agreed that they would not vote such stock until after the closing
of a business combination and (ii) acknowledged that such stock would not be
entitled to any distribution from the Company's trust account. As a result of
the Conversion and the results of the Meeting described above, the Company has
an aggregate of 10,935,691 shares of Series A common stock outstanding and 1
share of Series B Common Stock (held by the Sponsor) outstanding.
