Slam Corp. seeks shareholder approval for merger deadline extension

Slam Corp. (the "Company"), currently valued at $187.51 million, has announced an upcoming extraordinary general meeting where shareholders will vote on extending the deadline for completing a business combination.

Shareholders have the option to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account if they choose not to support the extension.
