Item 5.07
Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On March 13, 2023, Ross Acquisition Corp II (the “Company”) held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Extension Meeting”) to approve (i) a proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”) to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate an initial business combination from March 16, 2023 to September 23, 2023 and (ii) a proposal to allow the adjournment of the Extension Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal (the “Adjournment Proposal”), each as more fully described in the proxy statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 6, 2023. As there were sufficient votes to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Adjournment Proposal was not presented to shareholders.

Holders of 28,852,264 ordinary shares of the Company held of record as of February 6, 2023, the record date for the Extension Meeting, were present in person or by proxy, representing approximately 66.92% of the voting power of the Company’s ordinary shares as of the record date for the Extension Meeting, and constituting a quorum for the transaction of business.

The voting results for the Extension Amendment Proposal were as follows:

The Extension Amendment Proposal

Accordingly, the Extension Amendment Proposal was approved.

In connection with the vote to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal, the holders of 28,119,098 Class A ordinary shares of the Company properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.24 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $287.9 million
