Item 8.01 Other Events.

As previously disclosed, on May 7, 2024, Battery Future Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) filed a definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A (File No: 001-41158), as supplemented (“Proxy Statement”), for the purpose of calling an extraordinary general meeting of the Company’s shareholders (the “Meeting”) to approve, among other proposals, an amendment to and restatement of the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Charter”) to extend the date by which it has to consummate an initial business combination from June 17, 2024 to June 17, 2025.

The Meeting was originally called to order on May 17, 2024 and thereafter adjourned to May 21, 2024 and again until May 24, 2024. On May 24, 2024, the Company further adjourned the Meeting from May 24, 2024 at 4:00 p.m. to May 30, 2024 at 4:00 p.m. to allow additional time for the Company to engage with its shareholders and effectuate redemption reversals and/or enter into additional Non-Redemption Agreements.

Forward Looking Statements

The information included herein may include, and oral statements made from time to time by representatives of the Company may include, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Statements regarding likelihood of the approval of proposals at the Meeting, the number of public shares not redeemed, the amount of cash in the Company’s trust account or our preliminary estimated per-share redemption price, as well as all other statements other than statements of historical fact included in this document are forward-looking statements. When used in this document, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management team, identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, the Company’s management. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements, so undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous conditions, risks, and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, including those set forth in the Proxy Statement, in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in other reports filed by the Company with the SEC. The Company assumes no obligation and does not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

No Offer or Solicitation

This communication shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any states or jurisdictions in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an exemption therefrom.

Additional Information and Where to Find It

The Company urges investors, shareholders and other interested persons to read the Proxy Statement as well as other documents filed by the Company with the SEC, because these documents will contain important information about the Company and the Proposals. Shareholders may obtain copies of the Proxy Statement, any amendments or supplements thereto and other documents containing important information about the Company, once such documents are filed with the SEC, without charge, at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to the Company’s proxy solicitor, ClearTrust, LLC, 16540 Pointe Village Dr., Ste 210, Lutz, Florida 33558, Email: inbox@cleartrusttransfer.com.

Participants in Solicitation

The Company and its directors and executive officers and other persons may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the Company’s shareholders in respect of the Proposals. Information regarding the Company’s directors and executive officers is available in its annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. Additional information regarding the participants in the proxy solicitation and a description of their direct and indirect interests are contained in Proxy Statement, which may be obtained free of charge from the sources indicated above.
