Regulation FD Disclosure

Postponement of Special Meeting

On October 24, 2023, Black Mountain Acquisition Corp.’s (the “Company”) filed a Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A (the “Proxy Statement”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for a special meeting of its stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) to approve, among other things, a proposal to amend the Company’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Charter”) to allow the Company’s board of directors, without another stockholder vote, to elect to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate an initial business combination by up to six times for an additional one month each time (or until May 18, 2024) without depositing additional funds in the Trust Account (as defined below) (such proposal, the “Extension Amendment Proposal” and, together with all other proposals to be voted on at the Special Meeting, the “Proposals”). The Proxy Statement was mailed to the Company’s stockholders of record as of October 20, 2023 on or about October 23, 2023.

On November 8, 2023, the Company postponed the Special Meeting, which was originally scheduled to be held virtually on November 14, 2023, at 12:00 p.m., Eastern Time, and will now hold the Special Meeting virtually on November 17, 2023, at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time.

Extension of Redemption Deadline

In connection with the postponement of the Special Meeting, the Company is extending the deadline for holders of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), initially sold as part of the units in the Company’s initial public offering (the “Public Stock”) to exercise their right to redeem their shares for their pro rata portion of the funds available in the trust account established in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (the “Trust Account”), or to withdraw any previously delivered demand for redemption, to 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on November 15, 2023 (two business days before the Special Meeting). Stockholders who wish to withdraw redemptions should contact the Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, by email at spacredemptions@continentalstock.com.

If stockholders have any questions on any matter in connection with the Special Meeting, please call the Company’s proxy solicitor, Morrow Sodali LLC at (800) 662-5200 (toll-free), or banks and brokers can call (203) 658-9400, or email at BMAC.info@investor.morrowsodali.com.

Form of Non-Redemption Agreement

In connection with the Special Meeting, the Company and Black Mountain Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”) intend to enter into one or more agreements (the “Non-Redemption Agreements”) with one or more stockholders pursuant to which, if such stockholders do not redeem (or validly rescind any redemption requests on) their shares (the “Non-Redeemed Shares”) of Public Stock in connection with the Special Meeting, the Sponsor will agree to transfer to such investors shares of Class A Common Stock initially purchased in a private placement prior to the Company’s initial public offering (the “Founder Shares”) held by the Sponsor immediately following the consummation of an initial business combination if they continue to hold such Non-Redeemed Shares through the Special Meeting. The Founder Shares are not entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account through redemptions or otherwise and will remain subject to the existing transfer restrictions. The aggregate number of Non-Redeemed Shares and aggregate number of Founder Shares to be transferred by the Sponsor are not yet known at this time.

The Non-Redemption Agreements are not expected to increase the likelihood that the Proposals are approved by stockholders but is expected to increase the amount of funds that remain in the Trust Account following the Special Meeting.

As of November 8, 2023, the redemption price per share was approximately $10.63, based on the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account of approximately $52,552,184.80 (net of interest expected to be released to the Company to pay taxes), divided by the total number of shares of outstanding Public Stock.

NO ASSURANCES ARE MADE THAT A NON-REDEMPTION INCENTIVE OF ANY KIND WILL BE OFFERED AND THE ACTUAL TERMS OF ANY NON-REDEMPTION INCENTIVE MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THE TERMS DESCRIBED HEREIN.

The foregoing description of the Non-Redemption Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Non-Redemption Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated by reference herein.

The Company does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. There may be additional risks that the Company does not presently know or that the Company currently believes are immaterial that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Additional information concerning these and other factors that may impact the Company’s expectations and projections can be found in the Company’s periodic filings with the SEC, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023, any subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and the Proxy Statement.
