Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On February 1, 2023, Sizzle Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Sizzle”), a publicly-traded special purpose acquisition company, publicly announced that its stockholders have approved an extension of the date by which Sizzle must consummate an initial business combination from February 8, 2023 to August 8, 2023, or such earlier date as determined by Sizzle’s board of directors (“the “Extension”). The Extension was approved at the special meeting of stockholders of Sizzle held on February 1, 2023 (the “Special Meeting”) and it provides Sizzle with additional time to complete its previously announced proposed business combination (the “Proposed Business Combination”) with European Lithium Ltd (ASX: EUR) (“EUR”), a mineral exploration company, to form Critical Metals Corp. (“Critical Metals”).

Sizzle will deposit an aggregate amount of $200,000 (the “Extension Payment”) into Sizzle’s trust account for its public stockholders (the “Trust Account”) by February 9, 2023, which enables Sizzle to extend the period of time it has to consummate the Proposed Business Combination to March 8, 2023, and will deposit into the Trust Account the same amount of Extension Payment each additional month that is needed for Sizzle to consummate the Proposed Business Combination until August 8, 2023 (unless Sizzle’s board of directors decides to stop extending the time period earlier than such date).

A copy of the press release relating to the Special Meeting is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated into this Item 7.01 by reference.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

The information contained in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated into this item by reference.

Additional Information and Where to Find It

This Current Report on Form 8-K (“Form 8-K”) is provided for informational purposes only and contains information with respect to the Proposed Business Combination among Sizzle, EUR, European Lithium AT (Investments) Limited, a BVI business company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of EUR (the “Company”), Critical Metals (also referred to as Pubco) and the other parties thereto.

In connection with the Proposed Business Combination, Critical Metals has filed a registration statement on Form F-4 with the SEC, which includes a preliminary proxy statement to Sizzle shareholders and a prospectus for the registration of Pubco securities in connection with the Proposed Business Combination (as amended from time to time, the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement has not yet been declared effective. After the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents will be mailed to the shareholders of Sizzle as of the record date in the future to be established for voting on the Proposed Business Combination and will contain important information about the Proposed Business Combination and related matters. Shareholders of Sizzle and other interested persons are advised to read these materials (including any amendments or supplements thereto) and any other relevant documents, because they will contain important information about Sizzle, Critical Metals, EUR and the Company and the Proposed Business Combination. Shareholders and other interested persons will also be able to obtain copies of the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus, and other relevant materials in connection with the Proposed Business Combination, without charge, once available, at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to: Sizzle Acquisition Corp., 4201 Georgia Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C. 20011, Attn: Steve Salis, Chief Executive Officer.

BEFORE MAKING ANY VOTING DECISION, INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS OF SIZZLE ARE URGED TO READ THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT, THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS AND ALL OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED OR THAT WILL BE FILED WITH THE SEC IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROPOSED BUSINESS COMBINATION AS THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED BUSINESS COMBINATION.

Participants in the Solicitation

Sizzle, EUR, Critical Metals and the Company and their respective directors and executive officers may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies from Sizzle’s shareholders in connection with the Proposed Business Combination.

Information regarding the persons who may, under SEC rules, be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies to Sizzle’s shareholders in connection with the Proposed Business Combination are and will be set forth in the proxy statement/prospectus for the Proposed Business Combination, accompanying the Registration Statement, which Critical Metals has filed with the SEC. Additional information regarding the interests of participants in the solicitation of proxies in connection with the Proposed Business Combination will likewise be included in that Registration Statement. You may obtain free copies of these documents as described above.

No Offer or Solicitation

This Form 8-K is not a proxy statement or solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the Proposed Business Combination and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, or a solicitation of any vote or approval, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an exemption therefrom.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Sizzle’s, Pubco’s and the Company’s and/or EUR’s actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements that are other than statements of historical facts. No representations or warranties, express or implied are given in, or in respect of, this Form 8-K. When we use words such as “may,” “will,” “intend,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,” “estimate” or similar expressions that do not relate solely to historical matters, it is making forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

These forward-looking statements and factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: the ability of the parties to complete the transactions contemplated by the Proposed Business Combination in a timely manner or at all; the risk that the Proposed Business Combination or other business combination may not be completed by Sizzle’s business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline; the outcome of any legal proceedings or government or regulatory action on inquiry that may be instituted against Sizzle, Pubco, EUR or the Company or others following the announcement of the Proposed Business Combination and any definitive agreements with respect thereto; the inability to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination, including the approval of the Proposed Business Combination by the shareholders of Sizzle or EUR; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement relating to the Proposed Business Combination; the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards following the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination; the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Proposed Business Combination on EUR and the Company’s business relationships, operating results, current plans and operations of EUR, Pubco and the Company; the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of Pubco to grow and manage growth profitably; the possibility that Sizzle, Pubco, EUR and/or the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; estimates by Sizzle, Pubco, EUR or the Company of expenses and profitability; expectations with respect to future operating and financial performance and growth, including the timing of the completion of the Proposed Business Combination; plans, intentions or future operations of Pubco or the Company, including relating to the finalization, completion of any studies, feasibility studies or other assessments or relating to attainment, retention or renewal of any assessments, permits, licenses or other governmental notices or approvals, or the commencement or continuation of any construction or operations of plants or facilities; EUR and Pubco’s ability to execute on their business plans and strategy; and other risks and uncertainties described from time to time in filings with the SEC. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability.

The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of the Registration Statement referenced above and other documents filed by Sizzle and Pubco from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. There may be additional risks that neither Sizzle, Pubco nor EUR and the Company presently know, or that Sizzle, Pubco, EUR and/or the Company currently believe are immaterial, that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. For these reasons, among others, investors and other interested persons are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements in this Form 8-K. Neither Sizzle, EUR, Pubco nor the Company undertakes any obligation to publicly revise these forward–looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date of this Form 8-K, except as required by applicable law.
