Special Meeting of NavSight Stockholders to Approve Business Combination
A previously announced special meeting of NavSight’s stockholders is expected to be held on August 13, 2021 at 10:00 AM ET to, among other things, allow stockholders to vote to approve the proposed Business Combination with Spire. The Special Meeting will be completely virtual and conducted via live webcast.
