    Shareholders of a cash-rich shell firm authorized a measure on Tuesday that may give the agency 12 further months to full its long-delayed merger with former President Donald J. Trump’s social media firm.

    The shareholder vote will increase the chance that Trump Media & Technology Group will get entry to at the least $300 million in badly wanted money to function Truth Social — a right-leaning social media platform.

    Truth Social has emerged as Mr. Trump’s main megaphone for railing in opposition to his political opponents, in addition to the federal and state prosecutors who’ve introduced 4 indictments in opposition to him. Online advertisements on the social media platform additionally account for a vital piece of Mr. Trump’s fund-raising effort for his 2024 presidential marketing campaign.

    The shell firm, Digital World Acquisition Corp., raised the $300 million in a September 2021 preliminary public providing. Somewhat over a month later, the corporate, arrange as a particular objective acquisition firm, or SPAC, introduced the deal to merge with Trump Media.

    If Digital World shareholders had not authorized the extension, the corporate would have had to return the cash raised in its I.P.O. to shareholders on Friday.

    A SPAC raises cash from traders in an I.P.O. within the hopes of discovering a personal firm to purchase. Federal securities legal guidelines require SPACs to liquidate and return their money to shareholders if a deal can’t be accomplished in a specified interval — typically two years.

    The merger was introduced when Truth Social was nonetheless within the planning levels and Mr. Trump was banned from posting on most social media platforms after the violent protests on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

    The deal had been delayed by a regulatory investigation into allegations that Digital World misled traders about talks it held with Trump Media earlier than its September I.P.O., which is prohibited by securities legal guidelines. Federal prosecutors additionally began an investigation into allegations of insider buying and selling in Digital World shares upfront of the October 2021 merger announcement.

    In July, Digital World reached a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission that required it to revise a some regulatory filings and to pay an $18 million penalty if the merger was accomplished. Federal prosecutors have charged three males, together with a former Digital World director, with participating in a $22 million insider buying and selling scheme.

    In the run-up to the regulatory settlement, Digital World ousted its authentic chief govt and major promoter, Patrick Orlando, and revamped its board. Mr. Orlando, nonetheless, stays a big Digital World shareholder.

    Digital World had lobbied laborious to get shareholders — most of whom are retail traders — to approve the measure to give the corporate extra time to full the merger. It employed an advisory agency to encourage 65 % of the corporate’s shareholders to vote for the extension.

    Trump Media additionally lent assist to the get out the vote, sending electronic mail alerts to Truth Social subscribers urging them to vote for the extension in the event that they had been additionally Digital World shareholders.

    “Thank you for all of the outstanding support. Please understand my silence. We remain focused on the task at hand and are watching every word we say,” Eric Swider, Digital World’s chief govt, stated on Truth Social shortly after the consequence of the vote on an extension was introduced.

    The merger nonetheless faces hurdles.

    In early August, Trump Media recommitted itself to finishing the deal solely after it obtained new phrases that may strengthen Mr. Trump’s management over the merged firm. The revised settlement with Trump Media anticipates the merger closing by the tip of December. Mr. Trump’s firm can also terminate the settlement earlier than then, if Digital World can’t meet an Oct. 9 deadline for submitting amended regulatory filings.

    If the deal is accomplished, Mr. Trump would be the newly merged firm’s largest shareholder.

    Shares of Digital World jumped after the corporate introduced the consequence of the vote. With a market valuation of effectively over $600 million, post-merger Trump Media could be one of Mr. Trump’s most respected holdings.
