Ares Acquisition Corporation Announces Change of Extraordinary General Meeting Date

Ares Acquisition Corporation (“AAC” or the “Company”) (NYSE: “AAC.U”, “AAC”, “AAC WS”) announced today that its extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Shareholder Meeting”) originally scheduled for January 24, 2023, is being postponed to February 2, 2023. At the Shareholder Meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider and vote on a proposal: (1) to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Memorandum and Articles of Association”) to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination (such extension, the “Charter Extension”) from February 4, 2023 to August 4, 2023, or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board of directors in its sole discretion (the “Charter Extension Date” and such proposal, the “Extension Amendment Proposal”); (2) to amend the Memorandum and Articles of Association to delete: (A) the limitation on share repurchases prior to the consummation of a business combination that would cause the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 following such repurchases; (B) the limitation that the Company shall not consummate a business combination if it would cause the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001; and (C) the limitation that the Company shall not redeem the Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A ordinary shares”), issued as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering that would cause the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 following such redemptions; and (3) to adjourn the Shareholder Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Shareholder Meeting, there are insufficient Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B ordinary shares”), in the capital of the Company represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct business at the Shareholder Meeting to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal.

As a result of this postponement, the Shareholder Meeting will now be held at 9:30 a.m., Eastern Time, on February 2, 2023, via a live webcast at https://www.cstproxy.com/aresacquisitioncorporation/2023.
