Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal
Year.
Subsequent to the requisite shareholder approval having been obtained at the
Extraordinary General Meeting (as defined below) of Genesis Growth Tech
Acquisition Corp. ("GGAA") of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the
Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal (as defined below), GGAA adopted the
Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the "Second
A&R Articles") and thereafter filed the Second A&R Articles with the Registrar
of Companies in the Cayman Islands.
The information disclosed in Item 5.07 of this Current Report on Form 8-K under
the headings "Proposal 1" and "Proposal 2" are incorporated by reference into
this Item 5.03 to the extent required herein.
Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
Extraordinary General Meeting
On February 22, 2023, GGAA held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders
(the "Extraordinary General Meeting"), at which holders of 25,309,185 ordinary
shares in GGAA were present virtually or by proxy, representing approximately
80.0% of the voting power of the 31,625,000 ordinary shares issued and
outstanding entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting at the close
of business on January 27, 2023, which was the record date (the "Record Date")
for the Extraordinary General Meeting. Shareholders of record as of the close of
business on the Record Date are referred to herein as "Shareholders".
In connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal (as defined below),
Shareholders elected to redeem 25,198,961 Class A ordinary shares in GGAA,
representing approximately 99.6% of the issued and outstanding Class A ordinary
shares in GGAA, for a pro rata portion of the funds in GGAA's trust account. As
a result, approximately $263,325,413.52 (approximately $10.45 per share) will be
debited from GGAA's trust account to pay such holders.
Proposal 1
The Shareholders approved the proposal to amend GGAA's Amended and Restated
Memorandum and Articles of Association (the "Articles of Association"), by way
of special resolution, in the form of the Second A&R Articles, to extend the
date by which GGAA has to consummate a business combination (the "Business
Combination") from March 13, 2023 (which deadline was previously extended by
GGAA from December 13, 2022) to September 13, 2023 (i.e., for a period of time
ending 21 months after the consummation of its initial public offering (the
"IPO")) (the "Extension Amendment Proposal").

Proposal 2
The Shareholders approved the proposal to amend the Articles of Association, by
way of special resolution, in the form of the Second A&R Articles, to allow GGAA
to delete: (i) the limitation on share repurchases prior to the consummation of
a business combination that would cause GGAA's net tangible assets to be less
than $5,000,001 following such repurchases; (ii) the limitation that GGAA shall
not consummate a business combination if it would cause GGAA's net tangible
assets to be less than $5,000,001; and (iii) the limitation that GGAA shall not
redeem any Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, issued as part
of the units sold in the IPO that would cause GGAA's net tangible assets to be
less than $5,000,001 following such redemptions (the "Redemption Limitation
Amendment Proposal").
FOR AGAINST ABSTAIN
22,559,802 2,749,383 0
The foregoing description of the Second A&R Articles does not purport to be
complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Second A&R
Articles, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated
herein by reference.
As there were sufficient votes to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and
the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal, shareholder action on a third
proposal, to approve the adjournment of the Extraordinary General Meeting, if
necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes at
the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting to adopt the Extension Amendment
Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal, was not required and
GGAA did not call the vote on that proposal.

will be merged with and into Biolog-id, with Biolog-id as the surviving company,
