Postponement of Extraordinary General Meeting

On August 6, 2024, Rigel Resources Acquisition Corp (the "Company") postponed its extraordinary general meeting (the "Meeting") originally scheduled for August 7, 2024 to 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time on August 9, 2024, to allow additional time for the Company to engage with its shareholders and solicit redemption reversals. There is no change to the location, the record date, the purpose or any of the proposals to be acted upon at the Meeting.

The Company has previously called and provided a notice of the Meeting to consider and vote upon the matters described in the Company's definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on July 19, 2024 (as may be amended, the "Proxy Statement"). At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to vote on a proposal to approve an extension of the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination from August 9, 2024 to May 9, 2025, or such earlier date as determined by the Company's board of directors (such date, the "Extended Date" and such proposal, the "Extension Proposal").

Contribution to Trust Fund

While the Proxy Statement does not provide for any contribution to the Company's trust account ("TrustAccount") in connection with the Extension Proposal, Rigel Resource Acquisition Holdings, LLC, the Company's Sponsor (the "Sponsor), has agreed that if the Extension Proposal is approved and implemented, it will make monthly contributions to the Company as a loan (each loan, a "Contribution") of $0.02 per public share then outstanding for each month (or pro rata portion thereof if less than a month) until the earlier of (i) the date of the extraordinary general meeting held in connection with the shareholder vote to approve an initial business combination and (ii) the Extended Date. The Company does not intend to approve redemption reversals in an amount that would cause the Sponsor to make monthly Contributions of more than $150,000 (after giving effect to all validly tendered redemption requests that are not subsequently reversed). Monthly Contributions following the Meeting will be based on the number of public shares outstanding following the Meeting (after giving effect to any redemption demands made in connection therewith). Assuming the Extension Proposal is approved, each Contribution will be deposited in the Trust Account within three business days of the beginning of the extended period which such Contribution is for. The Contributions are conditioned upon the implementation of the Extension Proposal. The Contributions will not be made if the Extension Proposal is not approved or completed. The amount of the Contributions, which are loans, will not bear interest and will be repayable by us to the Sponsor or its designees upon consummation of the Company's initial business combination.

The Company plans to continue to solicit proxies from shareholders during the period prior to the Meeting. Only the holders of the Company's ordinary shares as of the close of business on July 15, 2024, the record date for the Meeting, are entitled to vote at the Meeting. Shareholders have any questions or need assistance should contact Sodali & Co, the Company's proxy solicitor, by calling (800) 662-5200, or banks and brokers can call collect at (203) 658-9400, or by emailing [email protected].
