Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 22, 2023, Capitalworks Emerging Markets Acquisition Corp (the "Company" or "we") and the Company's sponsor, CEMAC Sponsor LP (the "Sponsor"), entered into an additional non-redemption agreement (the "Non-Redemption Agreement") with certain unaffiliated third party (the "Holder") in exchange for the Holder agreeing either not to request redemption, or to reverse any previously submitted redemption demand with respect to 399,737 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Class A ordinary shares"), of the Company sold in its initial public offering in connection with the extraordinary general meeting called by the Company (the "Meeting") to, among other things, approve an amendment to the Company's amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the "Charter") to (i) extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination from June 3, 2023 to March 3, 2024 (the "Extension") and (ii) permit the Company's board of directors, in its sole discretion, to elect to wind up the Company's operations on a date earlier than March 3, 2024 (including prior to June 3, 2023) (together, the "Charter Amendments"). In consideration of the foregoing agreement, immediately prior to, and substantially concurrently with, the closing of an initial business combination, (i) the Sponsor (or its designees) will surrender and forfeit to the Company for no consideration 99,935 Company's Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, held by the Sponsor (the "Forfeited Shares") and (ii) the Company shall issue to the Holders a number of Class A ordinary shares equal to the Forfeited Shares.

As of the date of this report, we have entered into Non-Redemption Agreements with respect to an aggregate of 4,399,737 Class A ordinary shares, and have agreed to issue an aggregate of 1,099,935 Class A ordinary shares while the Sponsor has agreed to surrender and forfeit an aggregate of 1,099,935 Forfeited Shares for no consideration immediately prior to, and substantially concurrently with, the closing of an initial business combination.

The Non-Redemption Agreements are not expected to increase the likelihood that the Charter Amendments are approved by Company's shareholders but are expected to increase the amount of funds that remain in the Company's trust account (the "Trust Account") following the Meeting.

The foregoing summary of the Non-Redemption Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Non-Redemption Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 19, 2023 and incorporated herein by reference.

Shareholders may withdraw redemptions at any time until May 23, 2023 with respect to the Extension. Shareholders may request to withdraw their redemption by contacting the Company's transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, at One State Street, 30th Floor, New York, New York 10004, Attn: Stephen Baran (e-mail:sbaran@continentalstock.com).
